Chapter 218 Tomb of the God of Fox - Tianbaolong Fire Glass Top
[Special thanks to: Fairy Tail, Ten Thousand Rewards]
After Fat Wei directed everyone to dig down another three or four meters, they saw that the soil on the ground turned burnt yellow, like a layer of gold. Fat Wei immediately shouted to stop and no longer let others do it, but picked up the engineer himself.
The shovel, like embroidery, peels away the golden soil bit by bit.
After a while, I saw a glass-like roof exposed under the golden soil layer. The roof looked very transparent and brilliant, like it was inlaid with diamonds.
"Sure enough, it is a toy." Fat Wei stood up with sweat on his face and said, "I just thought that if the cemetery of the Nine-tailed Sky Fox was built during the Warring States Period, then there must be a toy. This is a legend from the Warring States Period.
, called Tianbao Dragon Fire Glazed Ding.”
The parrot looked at the glazed roof protruding from the ground and was very curious, "Fat Wei Ge, what is the Tianbao Dragon Fire glazed roof!".
Fat Wei wiped the sweat from his face and said with a veteran look, "This Tianbao Dragon Fire Glaze Dome, also called Fire Glaze, is a unique anti-theft mechanism from the Warring States Period. Many people think this thing is from the Northern Song Dynasty.
It was just invented, but in fact it is all nonsense. This Tianbao dragon fire glazed top only appeared in the Warring States Period, and has been lost since then. It has been imitated many times by later generations, but has never been successfully imitated.
Don't underestimate the Warring States Period. In fact, the Warring States Period was an era when great craftsmen emerged in large numbers. Many legendary figures with superb craftsmanship appeared in that era. Their technology transcended the limitations of that era and was beyond the reach of modern technology. Although
It has been lost now, but when we fight upside down, we can often see the shadows of these master craftsmen from the Warring States Period.
During the Warring States Period, there was a very famous construction craftsman named Zi Qing. This Zi Qing was very good. The mechanisms he designed were said to be miraculous and inoperable.
During the Warring States Period, most of the tombs of princes and nobles were designed and built by him. It is said that in order to prevent his skills from spreading to outsiders, Zi Qing never hired craftsmen or accepted apprentices. He gave birth to 88 sons, and all the tombs were built by him.
They were all built by him and his son.
And this Tianbao Dragon Fire Glazed Dome is his masterpiece. The structure of this glazed dome is very complicated. The tomb is hollow. The ceiling is first laid with a very thin layer of glazed tiles. There are bags of Western Regions Fire Dragon Oil on the tiles, and then there is another layer of glazed roof.
There are layers of glazed tiles, and then there is the mound of sealed earth. As long as external force enters, this roof will break at the touch. The fire dragon oil of the Western Regions will catch the air, burn all the bones and funerary objects in the tomb, and burn the tomb robbers to death inside.
Buried with the owner of the tomb.
Since ancient times, the Tianbao Fire Dragon Glazed Top has burned to death many masters of fighting, making tomb robbers frightened by the news. Finally, there is a saying that they will abandon the fight to save their lives when they see the fire glazed top.
Later, Zi Qing and his 88 sons suddenly disappeared for unknown reasons. There is a legend that they were invited by heaven to become immortals because of their superb skills. Therefore, this kind of mechanism was lost after the Warring States Period, and it is still difficult to find it now.
See, it seems that although the tomb of gods was built here, the tombs were still built by humans at that time!"
"Okay, you, Fat Wei, you have two hands!" Chen Zhi said to Fat Wei with a smile, "It seems that your bragging is not in vain, it is very useful at critical moments. The question is, how do we enter this Tianbao Dragon Fire Glaze
Where’s the top?”
Fat Wei grinned at this time, "Hey, after several generations of hard research in our inverted fighting world, this kind of Tianbao Dragon Fire Glazed Top can now be broken. Let me tell you, the biggest weakness of this mechanism is that it cannot be made too big.
, I dug from the side, bypassing the glazed roof, so the dragon fire glazed tiles on the top will not be broken, but be careful when digging so as not to explode the glazed tiles."
"Okay, let's start now!" Chen Zhi didn't let anyone else do it. He and Pang Wei each had a shovel. They circled a range and started digging. After digging a rough location, they changed to the next group.
The few people worked so enthusiastically that they had forgotten their fatigue, and soon dug a large pit six or seven meters deep on the side of the glazed tile.
Inside the big pit, there was a layer of hard soil, as solid as a rock. When the engineer shovel hit the top, only a white mark appeared, and it was impossible to dig it out.
The parrot cursed at this time: "M, why the hell is there cement here? We didn't bring any explosives, how can we dig down here?"
"Bah! Where did the cement come from during the Warring States Period?" said Fat Wei Smiling Parrot. "This is called a rammed soil layer. It is the most common curtain wall in ancient tombs. This is actually a kind of mixed soil, which was prepared using the secret recipe of the palace at that time.
Yes, it’s mixed with some glutinous rice juice, child urine and the like, and it’s stronger than damn modern concrete.”
After finishing speaking, Fat Wei rummaged through the treasure bag, took out a small bottle, opened the bottle cap, poured the water in the small bottle onto the rammed earth layer by bit, and said: "This is old vinegar, specially made for it."
Breaking the rammed earth layer and waiting for the old vinegar to evaporate, the tomb wall will be almost corroded. Although vinegar is too corrosive, it has a miraculous effect on the rammed earth prepared with a secret recipe.
It’s called one thing defeats another, and when the time comes, it will be like digging tofu.”
Everyone waited for the old vinegar to evaporate and then followed the law. Sure enough, the soil was as soft as tofu. After cutting it a few times with an engineer shovel, a big hole was immediately opened in the tomb wall. Chen Zhi used a searchlight to shine it.
After taking a look, I found that the space inside was really quite big, but it was so dark underneath that I couldn't see how deep it was.
When the parrot saw that the hole had opened, he was overjoyed. He rolled up his sleeves and wanted to jump in with a rope. Fat Wei grabbed him and said, "You don't want your life. Go to the other side and wait until I test the air quality."
The madman had specifically reminded them before that there were poison test strips for various regions in the treasure bag. When encountering a new environment, use the test strips to test first to ensure safety.
At this time, Fat Wei took out a piece of test paper, and then pulled out a bundle of transparent thread from his pocket. The thread was very thin and looked like an LED light strip. Fat Wei folded the transparent thread a few times, and this thread
Immediately the whole body glowed with light, Pangwei stuck the test paper on the transparent thread, and slowly slid it into the tomb below.
I saw that the darkness below was illuminated, and I could clearly see the floor of the tomb, which was only more than two meters high from above. After about two minutes, Fat Wei pulled up the transparent line bit by bit, and only the label on the test paper could be seen.
If it is red, it means there are harmful elements in the air.
In fact, it's quite normal when you think about it. The tomb below has been sealed underground for more than a thousand years, and the air inside is not circulating. Even if there is no corpse poison, it is normal for the air that has not flowed for more than a thousand years to contain harmful elements.
Fortunately, the parrot didn't jump in recklessly just now, otherwise it would have suffered a big loss.
So Pang Wei told everyone that they needed to wait a little longer at the top to allow ventilation below and allow new air to be poured in to purify the poisonous gas.
So everyone sat on the ground and rested for a while. They had done a lot of work today and everyone was very tired. Chen Zhi didn't let everyone light a fire or smoke. After all, the Baolong Fire Glaze Dome was too close that day and it was old and couldn't tolerate an open fire.
If the instigation goes astray, everyone will be burned to death.
