Ghostly Tomb

Chapter 222 Tomb of the Heavenly Fox God—Tianbaolong Fire Glazed Roof
[Special thanks to Xiao Fairy Tail, Wan Rewards]

Fat Wei commanded everyone to dig down another three or four meters, and saw that the soil layer on the ground had turned scorched yellow, like a layer of gold. The shovel, like embroidery, planed the golden soil little by little.

After a while, I saw a glass-like shed roof exposed under the golden yellow soil layer. The shed roof looked very transparent and radiant, like a diamond inlaid.

"Sure enough, it's a thing." Fat Wei stood up and said, sweating profusely, "I just thought of it. If the cemetery of the nine-tailed sky fox was established during the Warring States period, there must be a thing. This is a legend of the Warring States period. , called Tianbaolonghuo Liuliding."

The parrot looked at the glazed roof protruding from the ground, and was very curious, "Brother Fat Wei, what is the Tianbaolong fire glazed roof!".

Fat Wei wiped the sweat off his face, and said with an air of a senior expert, "This Tianbaolong Huoliuding, also called Huoliuli, is a unique anti-theft mechanism in the Warring States Period. Many people think that this thing is from the Northern Song Dynasty. It was just invented, but it’s all nonsense. This Tianbaolong Huoliuding only appeared in the Warring States Period, and it has been lost since then. It has been imitated many times by later generations, but it has never been successfully imitated.

Don't underestimate the Warring States period. In fact, the Warring States period was an era in which master craftsmen were born in large numbers. Many legendary figures with superb craftsmanship appeared in that era.Their technology surpassed the limitations of that era, and is beyond the reach of modern technology. Although it has been lost now, when we fight against each other, we can often see the shadows of these master craftsmen of the Warring States Period.

During the Warring States period, there used to be a very famous construction craftsman named Ziqing. This Ziqing was very awesome.

During the Warring States period, most of the mausoleums of princes and nobles were designed and built by him. It is said that this Ziqing never hired craftsmen or apprentices in order to prevent his technology from spreading. He gave birth to 88 sons. All the mausoleums Both were built by him and his son.

And this Tianbao dragon fire glazed roof is his masterpiece. The structure of this glazed roof is very complicated. The tomb is hollow. The ceiling is first laid with a layer of extremely thin glazed tiles. A layer of glazed tiles, and then the mound of earth, as long as external force enters, the roof will break when touched, and the fire dragon oil of the Western Regions will ignite when it sees the air, burning all the bones and funerary objects in the tomb, and burning the tomb robbers to death inside. Buried with the owner of the tomb.

Since ancient times, the Tianbao Huolong Liuliding has burned to death many good fighters, making tomb robbers frightened by the news, and finally there is a saying that they will abandon the fight to save their lives when they see the fire and Liuli.

Later, this Ziqing and his 88 sons suddenly disappeared for unknown reasons. There is a legend that they were invited by the Heavenly Court to become immortals because of their superb skills. Therefore, this kind of mechanism was lost after the Warring States Period, and it is very difficult now. See, it seems that although the tomb was built in this place, the tomb was built by humans at that time! "

"Okay, you, Fat Wei, you have two hands!" Chen Zhi said to Fat Wei with a slight smile, "It seems that you usually don't brag for nothing, and it is very useful at critical moments. The question is, how do we get into this Tianbaolonghuoliuli?" What about the top?"

Fat Wei grinned at this time, "Hey, after several generations of hard research in the Doujie, this kind of Tianbaolong fire glass roof can be broken now. Let me tell you, the biggest weakness of this mechanism is that it cannot be made too big. , I dig from the side, bypassing the glazed roof, the dragon fire glazed tiles on the top will not break, but be careful when digging, don't detonate the glazed tiles."

"Okay, let's get started now!".Chen Zhi didn't let others do it first, and Pang Wei and Pang Wei each had a shovel, first circled an area, and started digging. After digging a rough location, they changed to another group.

Several people were working so enthusiastically that they forgot their fatigue, and soon dug a big hole six to seven meters deep on the side of the glazed tile.

Inside the big pit, there was a layer of hard soil, which was as solid as a rock. When the engineers shoveled it, only a white mark appeared, and they couldn't dig it at all.

The parrot scolded at this moment: "M, why the hell is there still cement here? We didn't bring any explosives, so how can we dig down here?"

"Bah! Where did the cement come from in the Warring States Period?" Fat Wicked Parrot said, "This is called the rammed earth layer, and it is the most common curtain wall in ancient tombs. Yes, it's mixed with some glutinous rice juice, and boy's urine, and it's stronger than fucking modern concrete."

After finishing speaking, Fat Wei flipped through the treasure bag, took out a small bottle, opened the cap, poured the water in the small bottle onto the rammed earth layer, and said: "This is old vinegar, specially made Break the layer of rammed earth, wait for the old vinegar to volatilize, and the wall of the tomb will be almost corroded. Although vinegar is too corrosive, it has a miraculous effect on this kind of rammed earth prepared with a secret recipe. It’s called one thing for one thing, and when we dig again, it’s almost like digging tofu.”

Everyone waited for the old vinegar to evaporate and act according to the law. As expected, the soil was as soft as a tofu block. After a few cuts with an engineer shovel, a big hole was immediately broken in the wall of the tomb.Chen Zhi took a look with the searchlight and found that the space inside was really quite big, but it was so dark that it was hard to see how deep it was.

The parrot was overjoyed when he saw the hole opened, rolled up his sleeves and wanted to put the rope and jump in, but Fat Wei grabbed him and said, "You don't want to die, go to the other side and wait until I measure the air quality."

The lunatic had specially reminded them before that in the treasure bag, there are poison test strips from various regions. 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 pulled out a bundle of transparent threads from his inner pocket. The thread body was very thin and looked like an LED light strip. Fat Wei folded the transparent thread a few times. Immediately, the whole body glowed, and Fat Wei stuck a test paper on the end of the transparent thread, and slipped it into the tomb below little by little.

I saw that the darkness below was illuminated, and I could clearly see the floor of the tomb, which was only two meters high from the top.After about 2 minutes, Pangwei pulled up the transparent line little by little, and saw that the label on the test strip was red, which meant that there were harmful elements in the air.

In fact, it is very normal when you think about it. The tomb below has been sealed underground for more than 1000 years, and the air inside does not circulate. Even if there is no corpse poison, the air that has not flowed for more than 1000 years contains harmful elements, which is nothing more than normal.

Fortunately, the parrot didn't jump in recklessly just now, otherwise it would have suffered a big loss.

So Fat Wei told everyone that you need to wait a while longer on the top, let the bottom ventilate, and let new air pour in to blow off the poisonous gas.

So everyone sat on the spot 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. If there is a slight deviation in the provocation, everyone will be burned to death here.
