Chapter 262: The Five Elements and Three Households, the Organs
Liu Shiba had a gloomy face, quietly listening to the roar coming from the darkness in the distance...
"Go in and take a look at the holes on both sides, but don't go deep!"
Liu Shiba gave a brief order.
The seven people were divided into two teams and entered two cave entrances to investigate. Soon, Ai Lianhu shouted from the cave entrance on the right:
"We have discovered something here, come here quickly!"
Liu Shiba took three people from his team and hurried to the entrance of the cave on the right side of Allen Hu to see what was going on.
Within five meters of walking in, following Elian Hu's guidance, Liu Shiba discovered that there was an even smaller entrance to the right of the entrance.
The entrance to the cave is relatively small, with a small seal engraved on it saying "Yellow Spring Quiet Path"!
The seven people walked into the cave entrance cautiously and found that the inner wall of the cave was hand-carved, and the marks of knives and axes were too obvious.
"Everyone, be careful, something is wrong here."
Elian Hu looked pale and stared at the ground strangely.
Liu Shiba and Ai Lianhu looked at each other and nodded, and the other five people immediately did not dare to move after hearing this.
Under the illumination of the miner's lamp, Liu Shiba discovered that the ground inside the cave was very smooth, completely different from the rough outside.
Moreover, the floor inside the cave is made of black and white stones. The two colors are arranged at intervals and are not connected.
Tian Mingjian was standing on the side and stepped on the black stone. He felt no change. However, when he stepped on the white stone, he could clearly feel the ground shaking slightly.
"Old Tian, are you seeking death? I told you not to move."
Liu Shiba cursed angrily.
Tian Mingjian spread his hands helplessly, saying that he didn't do it on purpose.
Allen Hu quickly told everyone to stay put and stay calm.
"Creak!"
At this time, the sound of creaking equipment suddenly sounded underground.
Liu Shiba thought to himself that maybe something had been triggered and he couldn't stay here.
"Quit quickly!"
Before Liu Shiba could finish his words, a sudden change occurred and it was already too late!
When we came to the cave, a stone door suddenly fell from the top of the cave entrance...
The stone door looked very heavy. The moment it hit the ground, it made a loud roar, followed by smoke and dust, and the ground shook violently.
"Dragon Breaking Stone?"
Allen Hu screamed in fear.
"Fuck, this isn't even close, there are just so many messes!"
Liu Shiba slapped his head in frustration.
Elian Hu Ze cautiously walked to Liu Shiba and said:
"According to some records in ancient books, in the ancient tombs of the Qin and Han Dynasties, there was a mechanism called the Juma Formation.
This kind of mechanism was designed in advance when the tomb was being built, and stones of two different colors were used to pave the way.
It has been set up in advance. Stones of a certain color set up a mechanism in the ground, which connects the tomb door, making it possible to get in but unable to get out.
If I remember correctly, after the Broken Dragon Stone is closed, other serial mechanisms in the cave will appear next to each other!"
Zheng Weida bulged his eyes and said in confusion:
"According to what you say, they don't have to walk anymore?"
Elian Hu nodded and said solemnly:
"This kind of mechanism does not hinder other people when building the tomb. Once it is completed, the copper mechanism will operate automatically.
From now on, whenever someone comes in, if they don't know about this mechanism, they will be buried here.
The person responsible for building the mausoleum can step on stones of one color, so it is very strange.
The scary thing about this kind of mechanism is that after the mechanism is activated once, the gravity on the mechanism slowly decreases, and after a while, the mechanism will return to its original position.
At this time, the stone door of the tomb passage automatically opened again, waiting for the next batch of tomb robbers to come in and die. In such a dark place, it is inevitable to make the wrong step, but this is precisely the place that can kill people."
Tian Mingjian said in surprise:
"Don't scare the labor and management. How many years has it been? Can this agency still operate automatically?"
"It does work. These gadgets were made by the master of the Organ Gate who ranked third among the Five Elements at that time. It is normal for them to be immortal for thousands of years."
Elian Hu sighed.
Liu Shiba's eyes flashed and he said calmly:
"Since the retreat is blocked, the front must also be blocked. Please be careful of the mechanisms inside and don't act rashly."
The Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin must be full of institutions. This was a result that Liu Shiba had expected a long time ago.
It is said that open guns are easy to hide, but hidden arrows are difficult to guard against. Chinese people regard death as rebirth. After death, a large amount of wealth will inevitably be buried in the tomb, which will inevitably cause future generations to make decisions. Therefore, anti-grave robbing agencies came into being.
Among them, the only one who built his own tomb in such a weird way is the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang.
Not only did he build a fake mausoleum in Lishan Mountain in Xianyang that deceived the whole world, he also built a shocking real mausoleum thousands of meters deep in the Qinling Mountains.
However, in such a strange ancient tomb, who can know what hidden weapons will appear?
Unless there is a master of the agency to lead the way, it is almost the same.
Thinking of this, Liu Shiba's heart lit up, as if he felt that he had overlooked something important...
"Whoosh!"
But at this time, there was a rustling sound above everyone's heads, and then sand fell on a group of people.
"No, quicksand?"
Liu Shiba didn't have time to think about it, his heart beat wildly, he secretly thought that it was not good, this was the most vicious quicksand.
The seven people quickly hid in the corners of the cave...
However, countless yellow sand still fell down!
The seven people barely covered their faces with their hands and looked up to the sky to investigate, only to see that the gaps in the stone wall above their heads were gradually getting bigger.
The flow that originally fell slowly became faster and faster, and in an instant, the heads of the seven people were covered with a layer of fine sand.
The miner's lamp above Elian Hu's head was also knocked out, and Ning Min'er screamed in surprise.
At this time, Liu Shiba became calmer and calmer, and a hint of understanding that only a meritorious master could have gradually emerged in his heart...
When Liu Shiba was very young, he heard his grandfather Liu Shiliu say that quicksand was the most terrifying anti-robbery method in ancient tombs.
When it comes to the technical content of ancient mechanisms, this Quicksand Formation is really not very sophisticated, not even as good as the Hidden Arrow Crossbow and Poison Smoke Confusion Formation.
However, the Quicksand Formation relies on the capacity of space to kill enemies. If the space is filled with yellow sand, how can anyone not be suffocated to death?
This ancient anti-theft facility requires a huge amount of work. It requires digging a giant sand-holding interlayer between the mechanism and the cave, and filling it with a large amount of yellow sand.
Moreover, the yellow sand must be washed in water in advance to remove coarse stones, then dried, and then poured into the interlayer to ensure that it does not contain soil or other things.
Washing the yellow sand in the water is an essential process to prevent the sand from sticking to the interlayer over time, which will cause the mechanism to get stuck when starting it, causing the mechanism to malfunction.
Therefore, only large tombs of emperors and generals can use this expensive anti-theft method for this kind of quicksand formation.
What's even worse is that if you dig a hole to escape from the inside out, you will only see a steady stream of yellow sand pouring in, giving you the feeling that you have nowhere to start.
Even if you are lucky, the robbers can barely dig deep into the hole. For example, some grave robbers have learned mining techniques and inserted wooden stakes into the hole for reinforcement while digging.
However, as the robber's cave goes deeper, the large rocks in the mezzanine above the robber's cave will directly hit the robber's cave due to weightlessness, often causing the tomb robber to die directly and be buried with him.
Therefore, the quicksand formation is actually the most terrifying method of preventing theft. People who fall into the quicksand formation often have a narrow escape from death.
"Eighteen, are we going to die here?"
Ning Min'er stared at Liu Shiba in horror and asked.
There was no trace of panic on Liu Shiba's face. He patted Ning Min'er's shoulder comfortingly, calmly took out the engineer shovel from his waist and said with a smile:
"Don't panic, everyone just pick up your engineering shovels and follow Slimy out."
When Ai Lianhu heard this, he almost fell to the ground and exclaimed:
"What? Follow me and escape?"
Liu Shiba stared at Allen Hu strangely and said:
"Old man, why are you pretending to me again? You're giving each of us an engineer shovel before we even come in here? Have you eaten too much?
Please explain to me, what is the use of this engineer shovel? So far, I have not seen any use. On the contrary, this quicksand formation has a place of use.
Also, how do ordinary people know the internal principles of various agencies? When you mentioned the closing of the Five Elements and Three Agencies just now, you had a smug expression on your face. Did you pretend I didn’t see it?
If you pretend to be like this again, you will be a member of the agency. At least your ancestors were from the agency. Hurry up and lead the way. If you continue to pretend to be ink, you will really die."
Elian Hu stared at Liu Shiba with dumbfounded eyes. After a long time, he sighed and accepted his fate:
"Liu Shiba, Colonel Touch Jin, you are so awesome, I can't even hide this from you..."
