As soon as the claws of Qiao Hand stretched out, they were tightly clasped by the slender and powerful jade fingers. Su Yin glared, shook off his hand, and fanned the air at the tip of his nose, "I just smell this smell."
Zhou Wang had already found the mechanism at this time, pressed the button lightly, and the stone door opened, but he didn't expect that the inner room was brightly lit!
As previously guessed, this door leads to the dormitory hall, and behind it is the side hall, where all the burial items are stored. However, as soon as the door of the dormitory hall was opened, everyone's eyes widened.
"This is……"
Looking at the ravines in the dormitory and the underground palace in front of them, with the silver liquid flowing in them, everyone's expressions changed.
"It's mercury." Yu Wensheng's eyes flashed, and Su Yin held her breath at this moment, "Rivers, lakes, seas, sun, moon and stars!? Close the stone door quickly!"
According to historical records, the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin is large in scale and has many institutions. When it comes to the institutions in the Imperial Mausoleum, the most famous ones are the rivers and lakes! The ditches are filled with mercury, which is mercury, forming the flow of rivers.
Mercury also has a very special meaning to Qin Shihuang. It is the only metal that exists in a liquid state under normal temperature and pressure. It is said that the elixir of immortality was made from mercury. Countless emperors died under it but still continued to succeed.
Qin Shihuang used mercury to lay out blueprints of rivers, lakes, and rivers in his palace. This not only preserved the body, but also prevented the prying eyes of tomb robbers.
Mercury evaporates when it encounters air, forming toxins in the air that are quickly absorbed by the body through breathing.
As for the sun, moon and stars, there are countless huge night pearls inlaid on the top of the dormitory. Doesn’t the layout and design of this dormitory imitate a smaller version of Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum?
As soon as Su Yin finished speaking, there was a loud noise behind him. When he looked back, he saw that the way in had been blocked by a thousand-jin gate!
It seems that there is a mechanism connected between the stone door leading to the dormitory and the Qianjin Gate. The stone door opens and the Qianjin Gate falls. This is a good method. It is obviously to prevent visitors from entering and poison them alive in this secret room!
"The stone gate can't be closed!" Zhou Wang was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, but when the stone gate was opened, nothing could be done to close it!
Su Yin covered the tip of her nose with her cuffs and was already starting to feel dizzy. The air was full of toxins. It was inevitable to inhale it the moment she opened the stone door. If she didn't find an outlet to breathe fresh air for first aid, she would really die in this underground tomb.
Once a large amount of inhalation causes severe poisoning, it is basically impossible to survive in ancient times when surgery and disulfide propanol injections were not possible.
"Go in and see if there is a way out." Yu Wensheng said and walked directly into the dormitory.
"Put out the torch." Su Yin shouted loudly. The most urgent thing now is to control the indoor temperature. Once the temperature rises, it will more easily promote the evaporation of mercury. Because the dormitory is inlaid with no less than a hundred luminous pearls, making it brightly lit, there is no need to use torches.
Zhou Wang and the man with the golden girdle immediately followed the instructions. The latter had already tied up his wound and quickly rushed into the dormitory with Yu Wensheng.
Su Yin resisted dizziness and entered the dormitory. Behind the dormitory was still a stone door. Yu Wensheng and others arrived in front of the stone door, but they could not understand it. There was a small square instrument on the stone door, and the symbols on it were strangely tight.
Su Yin recognized it at a glance as a combination lock, and it was a simple combination lock. If he had an instrument in his hand, he could easily decipher it, but if he didn't, he could only rely on guessing.
"There are hints here." Zhou Wang pointed at a conspicuous arrow on the wall and said loudly. As soon as he finished speaking, he fell to the ground, covering his chest that was rising and falling violently, and his face turned pale.
