Dou Sprout cursed loudly and said loudly that there was nothing behind the wall!
I continued to poke along the small opening, and as a lot of dust fell, the small opening continued to expand.
Finally, a small wooden door over one meter high appeared in front of me.
There are two small wooden doors. Due to the dry air here in the desert, the small wooden doors are somewhat weathered. There are large areas of black paint remaining on the surface of the wooden doors. There are also seven or eight crooked buttons on the door lintel. Four large characters are traced with a red cinnabar pen. These four characters should be It is read from right to left.
"The dead come in"
Douyazai rubbed his eyes and said with an uneasy look on his face: "Whoever enters the door will die...it's so weird that people seep in. What's the purpose of hiding a small door behind this wall?"
What did I say not to do? It was just to scare people.
I was not frightened by these four words. There are similar curses like those who open coffins will die, and whoever robs tombs will die. These were all deliberately carved by the tomb owner to scare tomb robbers, and they are similar in nature to the tomb-suppressing beast.
The most famous example of this kind of "curse" is that in 1957, the Shaanxi Provincial Archaeological Team accidentally discovered the tomb of Li Jingxun. This Li Jingxun was a little girl who was nine years old when she died. Her status was extremely noble. She was the granddaughter of Princess Yang Lihua of the Sui Dynasty. , the great-grandfather was Li Xian, the great general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. At that time, the archaeological team entered the tomb and wrote four words on the stone coffin: "You will die if you open the coffin." Although the archaeological team was shocked, they still opened the stone coffin and did not listen. Say something happened to someone.
Before looking at it.
There is a rusty copper lock hanging in front of the small black door. Over time, the copper has oxidized and turned green. This lock is unusual. It looks like two halves facing each other. When you open it and look at it, there are two halves. A keyhole, this is the Ziwu lock of the Ming Dynasty, also called the mother-child chain lock.
Of course, the ancients also had a sense of anti-theft. Many locks are still there today, but they cannot be opened by lock pickers.
Ziwu lock, flagpole lock, three-palm lock, hidden door lock, four-opening lock, reverse pull lock, Shaojia lock. The current Ziwu lock needs two keys to be inserted into the lock hole at the same time to open it normally. One key should be turned to the left and the other Turn the knob to the right and find the right angle before opening it.
But everything has its own timeliness, and the timeliness will decrease over time. The storage condition of this Ziwu is not good. I guess the reed structure inside has been corroded.
I handed the flat shovel to Dou Sprout and told him to try breaking the lock.
Dou Sprout Zai may have been frightened by those four words. He didn't dare to take action at first. I urged him twice before he started to take action.
"It's really hard. It's been hundreds of years and it's still so hard," Bean Sprouts tried several times at first but failed to break it open.
I reached out and grabbed the copper lock and shook it. I felt that the lock spring was loose, so I asked Dou Sprout to increase his strength and continue to hit me.
"Don't panic, Fengzi, let me slow down for a minute, my hands were numb just now."
Dou Sprout waited for a minute or two, then repeated the previous task. During this time, I kicked the small door hard but failed to open it.
suddenly.
"Click!" The copper lock was smashed and fell to the ground.
"It's open!" Dou Sprout shouted to me excitedly.
"Squeak..."
It is unimaginable that pushing open a wooden door hundreds of years ago can make such a sound.
I slowly pushed open the hidden door, and then revealed a long corridor.
I shined a flashlight and couldn't see clearly what was going on in the corridor. All I could see was darkness. The darkness at the end of the corridor seemed to be swallowed up even by the light of the flashlight.
Dou Yazai swallowed dryly and said, "Can I enter Fengzi? Damn, this black thing is really scary."
I gritted my teeth and said, "Go in, you go in first and take a look."
"Damn it, I drilled first, you drilled first, and I took the back seat for you."
"Stop talking nonsense. I'll tell you to listen to me. If you don't listen, I'll dig in as much as you want. How can you do tomb robbing if you're so cowardly?"
Dou Sprout's face fell, and he dug in as soon as he asked. What's the big deal? There's no ghost, so there's nothing to be afraid of.
This small black door is only one meter high. When you open the door, you will find a corridor. After you get in, you can only stretch your arms and crawl forward on your knees and legs. The space is too small and the posture is uncomfortable.
Dou Sprout chewed the flashlight and stretched out his legs first to climb in. I followed closely behind him.
The corridor was very eerie, and the earthen wall above my head was mottled and old. I don't know if it was a psychological effect. As I climbed, I felt that the temperature around me became lower, as if the other end was leading to hell.
"stop!"
I was nervous when Dou Sprout suddenly shouted to stop, which startled me. I quickly asked what was going on.
"Wait a minute, it's coming soon."
I shouted nervously: "What's coming? What's there? Yazai, don't talk nonsense to scare people."
Dou Sprout was sticking his butt out in front of me and his buttocks were motionless.
