After entering the cave entrance, there is a staircase from top to bottom. This staircase should be naturally formed, but it has been slightly built by someone. The whole staircase is rotating, just like a curved staircase.
On both sides of the stairs are some damp stone walls.
The stairs are not wide, and can only allow one person to pass through. It is narrower than the previous stone chamber passage.
In order to avoid the situation like the stone chamber passage that suddenly ends when walking, Chen Ran, who took the initiative to walk at the front, raised the detection distance of the energy aperture to the limit. While walking, he detected at the same time, not letting anyone go.
Part, this is to guard against any mechanism or the like.
As a result, he walked a little slowly, and the people following him did not rush him, but followed him cautiously.
After passing the triangular pyramid mechanism just now, everyone felt a little heavy. Thinking about it, if it hadn't been for Chen Ran, they might have been injured or killed. Who knows whether the casualty would be themselves, especially Wang Wentao, who
Knowing that others might be able to escape with luck, but he certainly couldn't escape, there was no doubt that this buddy Chen Ran saved his life again.
After taking two steps, there was no shadow at the end, and he was still walking so slowly. Professor Yue thought about it for a while, and simply took this opportunity to educate everyone about the mechanisms that may be encountered in the ancient tomb. This is also to let everyone know the situation.
Everyone can be somewhat prepared when they encounter him next.
Many books say that there are mechanisms in ancient tombs. In fact, some tombs do have anti-theft mechanisms. This is of course related to the fact that there are so many tomb robbers in our country. If there are no tomb robbers, naturally there will be no mechanisms. In order to prevent yourself
The tombs were stolen, and the ancients went to great lengths.
Speaking of ancient tomb mechanisms, let’s first talk about the ancient tombs before the Tang Dynasty. Before the Tang Dynasty, there were falling rocks, concealed crossbows, etc. After the Tang Dynasty and during the Northern Song Dynasty, anti-theft technology became relatively mature, especially for some noble tombs.
, although it is impossible to build a mausoleum like the tomb of an emperor, the contents inside are unambiguous. In order to ensure that it will not be stolen, there are endless and strange mechanisms.
For example, in 1946, two tomb robbers were going to dig up the Jingling Mausoleum of Emperor Kangxi. After a long time, they finally found the coffin. But when they picked up their axes and were about to chop into the middle of the coffin, something suddenly appeared.
The blazing flames burned the faces of the two men into a mess, leaving them unrecognizable.
It is said that after many years, the scars on the faces of these two people are still very obvious, but there is one thing. It is said that from the time Kangxi was buried to the time he was exhumed, there was about 222 years between them. If there is really medicine in the tomb
, it should have expired a long time ago, not to mention that this coffin has been soaked in water all year round, but where did the fire start?
All this is a mystery. Such an institution is called a fire cave tomb. Such fire cave tombs are not only found in Kangxi's Jingling Tomb, but also in other places. The most famous one is the Mawangdui Tomb.
A hole that spits out fire is scary enough.
In addition to fire cave tombs, there are invisible poisonous gases that kill people. Some tombs have mercury pools and mercury vapor. We all know now that this is poisonous, but we knew it in ancient times, but there is no record of this.
It is said that there are grave robbers who steal mercury and sell it.
What's even more outrageous is the one that sprays venom from his mouth.
According to legend, in ancient times, in order to keep their corpses from rotting, they would take a small amount of arsenic before death and use poison to hold the internal organs, and then slowly rot away, but the outer skin of the corpse would not rot.
Over time, the rotten internal organs in the body will turn into liquid. In this way, when the tomb robber moves the corpse, a pressure will be inadvertently generated, and the liquid will be squeezed out and sprayed on the tomb robber's face.
There are many mechanisms in the ancient tomb, not only these, but also quicksand and stones, poisonous fire from crossbow arrows, biochemical guards... and so on.
Biochemical guarding means placing five poisons in ancient tombs. The so-called "five poisons" are green snakes, centipedes, scorpions, geckos and toads in folklore. Use these five poisons to guard the door.
In addition to the five poisons, there are fox yellow and white willow ash, which are the so-called "five poisons", which are five relatively human-like creatures: fox, weasel, hedgehog, snake and rat.
Some ancient tombs, especially the tombs of nobles or landowners, often like to be built next to fox holes, fox dens, or hedgehog dens. Because living things are better than dead and motionless statues guarding tombs, which are more difficult for tomb robbers.
The shock should be greater.
Think about it, I kept digging, and when I got to the coffin, a big furry fox appeared out of nowhere. It might have scared people to death.
In addition to these, there is also a relatively popular anti-theft technology called Tianbao Dragon Fire Glazed Top. This mechanism is a mechanism that kills everyone. When an outsider comes in, a fire suddenly burns the bones and funerary objects.
Glossy.
Before Professor Yue finished speaking, he noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere. He then remembered that although what he said sounded interesting, it was obviously inappropriate to say such things under such circumstances. After all,
Seriously speaking, they were here to rob the tomb, even though they were official robbers.
But whether it is an official robber or a private robber, they are all tomb robbers. When you rob a tomb, don't you think the mechanism of the tomb robber is scary?
However, although it is indeed inappropriate to say this at this time, Professor Yue still thinks it is good to say it. This is also to remind everyone to be cautious and cautious when going in-depth, so as not to cause casualties if they encounter such an institution.
Although everyone was frightened by what Professor Yue said, they all listened carefully. After all, this was a matter of life.
After Professor Yue finished speaking, he noticed that the atmosphere was not right. Mr. Ma and Wang Zhiqing both said a few words to adjust the atmosphere. Professor Yue also comforted him by saying that although there were many ancient tombs with mechanisms, over time, most of them
It has lost its function or been destroyed. Those outrageous mechanisms are still not so easy to encounter.
Chen Ran was walking in front and listening. What Professor Yue said also reminded him that when he used energy aperture detection, he was doing detection without purpose. Although it was all-round, it was inevitable that
He missed some. After listening to what Professor Yue said, he paid more attention to certain places, such as the top of his head.
This spiral staircase circled for seven or eight times. As Chen Ran walked, he used the energy aperture to detect it. When he reached the seventh circle, what the energy aperture detected suddenly shocked him.
Stayed.
What appeared in front of him was a huge stone cave. This huge cave was completely built artificially. The exact size of it was still unknown. What shocked him was that part of what he detected was that the surrounding walls were all green.
This kind of green wall exudes a kind of green light, illuminating the entire huge cave with a faint green light, which is extremely strange.
Chen Ran, who had been walking slowly, suddenly stopped. As soon as the people behind saw Chen Ran stop, they all stopped too.
"What's wrong?"
Wang Wentao stepped forward and asked softly. As he spoke, he took a look, but found nothing.
"There is light ahead, it may be the end!"
Chen Ran didn't even look behind him. He took a deep breath and continued walking forward, but his movements were cautious.
Although the energy aperture had detected a huge stone cave in front of him, it could not detect any danger after all. So while moving forward, he also took out two stones that he had just put in his pocket, and he was almost at the end.
At that moment, he threw the two stones out respectively. When there was no reaction, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's it, everyone, please be careful."
Wang Wentao also saw the green light, his face straightened, and he quickly turned around to remind him. After being reminded by him, the people following him couldn't help but cheer up.
"Xiao Ran, come to the back!" After Wang Wentao reminded everyone, he pulled Chen Ran back, who was about to step into the cave, and walked to the front himself.
Chen Ran had already tried and there should be no danger ahead, so he didn't stop him, but he was very grateful in his heart.
Although Chen Ran had already used the energy aperture to detect part of the giant cave, when Chen Ran stood in the giant cave and looked at the incredible scenery in front of him, he couldn't help but open his mouth in shock.
This is a palace with an area as large as half a football field. There is a high platform about forty square meters in the middle. There is a huge stone car on the high platform, and five-color flags are planted around the stone car.
The walls around the palace are all covered with murals. At a glance, these murals show wind, rain, thunder and lightning, as well as demons and ghosts... Although the murals come in various colors, they are all green on the whole.
Color, that is to say, the entire cave is painted with this color, so the entire cave exudes a green light.
In addition to these, there are two rows of hollows cut out on the walls on both sides of the cave. In each hollow, there is a statue. These statues are not human beings, they are all strange things.
, some look like beasts of prey, and some look like a combination of beasts of prey and humans, it’s hard to tell.
"It's so amazing. It seems to be artificially formed. How did it come about?"
Seeing the incredible sight in front of him, not only Chen Ran opened his mouth in shock, but also everyone else who had just come in was stunned. After being stunned, Guo Xiaohong started to scream in disbelief.
“It’s incredible!”
Almost everyone who stepped into the cave could not help but exclaim with emotion.
After exclaiming, Professor Yue quickly came to the mural like a cat that had seen a mouse. A magnifying glass appeared in his hand, and he kept looking at the mural. He made tut-tutting sounds and uttered from time to time.
There was a sigh and an excited look on his face, which showed that he was indeed extremely excited.
Mr. Ma was also excited, but he was more interested in the stone cart on the high platform. After exclaiming, he couldn't help but rush over.
Yan Ruyu's eyes also shone with surprise. Her interests were obviously different from those of Professor Yue and Mr. Ma. What made her more interested was the green light emitting from the stone wall.
Wang Zhiqing, Cao Lin, and Fan Hong also all started busy with excitement. This was a big discovery. Not to mention other things, just this cave was astonishing.
Chen Ran, Wang Wentao and Liu Chunlin looked at each other in shock. Although the three of them were shocked, they couldn't say they were very interested. They were just surprised by such an incredible sight.
For Chen Ran, what he is interested in naturally is to find something related to the skull pendant, or to find something related to the origin of his powers.
After all, this was his purpose of following the archaeological team.
But everything in front of me seemed to have no clues.
After sweeping his eyes, Chen Ran walked towards Mr. Ma.
However, for some reason, as he was walking, he suddenly felt an unpleasant smell. This smell came very suddenly and made him stop suddenly.
Frowning tightly, Chen Ran didn't know how to describe what he was feeling at the moment. How should I put it, he just felt uncomfortable all over his body, as if he felt awkward no matter what he did.
Just like now, with his arms hanging like this, he felt a little awkward. When his arms were folded across his chest, he still felt awkward. This awkwardness made his whole nerves tense...
How come you feel like this?
Chen Ran was not a person who was easily nervous. Feeling like this at this moment made him couldn't help but speculate. Could there be some unknown danger approaching?
When he thought of this, Chen Ran suddenly felt uneasy!
[There are ancient tomb mechanisms interspersed, but the number of words is quite a lot. Thank you to the three brothers Mengruishengsheng, Azure Bear, and zygsy2006 for their rewards. Also, I would like to ask for red tickets and collections...]
