Chapter 47 The Main Tomb

The three of them came to the fourth stone chamber, only to see water seeping in from one side of the stone wall of the fourth stone chamber.

The water seeping from the entire stone wall formed a large inverted Y-shaped lightning-shaped water mark, and a large shallow puddle was formed at the junction of the bottom of the water mark and the ground.This puddle almost filled half of the huge stone chamber.

Chen Ziyang walked over and took a closer look at the water leak.The puddle is very shallow. Rather than saying it is a puddle, it is better to say that the seeping water filled half of the stone chamber.Shining the light on the water with a flashlight, Chen Ziyang saw that many places in the puddle were covered with moss, and it was very slippery when he stepped on it. Chen Ziyang almost fell into the puddle without paying attention. He stayed on the stone wall and didn't fall down.

There is also a lot of moss growing on the stone wall, and there is a shallow crack in the middle of the water mark on the stone wall.Chen Ziyang guessed that the water seeped out from this crack.Judging from the growth of moss on the stone wall, it has been a long time since the stone wall began to seep, but the water seepage is not serious.Chen Ziyang touched the cold stone wall, and estimated that in ten or twenty years, even if the tomb had not been stolen, all the contents inside would have been eroded by water vapor.

There is also a huge stone platform in this stone room, but there are only piles of rotten wood on the stone platform.Everyone guessed that this stone room, like the third one, was also used for exhibitions, except that the exhibits were some exquisite woodworking gadgets. Unfortunately, after so many years and the erosion of the water vapor infiltrated by the mountain spring, these wooden products have long since rotted. Lost.

Looking at some wooden parts with a relatively poor degree of decay occasionally exposed among the piles of rotten wood, Chen Ziyang wondered if the owner of the tomb was a craftsman?A carpenter and blacksmith?Are the things on the stone platform in the two stone chambers the works of this person before his life?Even if the owner of the tomb is a craftsman, I have never heard of any craftsman who has such a big ostentation and can build such a large mausoleum.

If the owner of the tomb is not a craftsman, and those iron and wooden products are funerary objects, then the interest of the tomb owner is too unique.But judging from the style of those mechanical products, they should be made by the same person. Who was the owner of the tomb before his death?Now Chen Ziyang became curious about the identity of the owner of the tomb again.

It seems that all questions can only be known after exploring the last No. [-] passage.

After tossing until midnight, after finding nothing in the first four stone chambers, the three of them came to the final passage.

The location of the fifth passage is very unique. At the end of the tomb passage, there is an uneven stone wall. There are few artificial traces on the stone wall. At first glance, it is incompatible with the style of the relatively flat tomb passage. In the middle, there is a hole wider than the other passages.

Although the hole is wider, due to the unevenness and width of the stone wall, the hole is better hidden by the effect of optical illusion.The other cave entrances are covered with left and right rocks, hiding the cave entrances.However, the hole at the end of the tomb passage is covered by the rocks below. Only by looking at it from a small angle on both sides of the stone wall can we find the clues.

If it wasn't for the unintentional discovery of the previous three people, even if they stood two meters in front of this stone wall, they would not be able to find the entrance of the cave.Chen Ziyang looked at the stone wall and sighed to Yang Lei: "It's really seamless. If the breeze didn't blow you, we would have turned back even if we got here."

"Er Yang, don't be emotional. It's true to hurry up and get something. We've been wandering around all night, and we haven't gotten anything except our pent-up anger. Don't forget what we're here for." .”

Under Yang Lei's reminder, Chen Ziyang took the lead in turning over the yellow rock wall in front of the cave entrance.The passage behind the stone wall is very smooth, and it gets wider and wider.The passage at the entrance is only about three or four meters, but it is more than enough for three people to walk side by side at the back, with a distance of more than one meter between each other.

Chen Ziyang paid attention to his feet while walking, the ground was still yellow rocks.The geological conditions here basically eliminate the possibility of installing anti-theft organs.Chen Ziyang had a very strange idea. He always felt that everything in this tomb was not designed to prevent theft, but to test the stinky eaters.Only those who persist in the first few passages can discover the secret of the passage optical illusion.Only after discovering this secret can the entrance of the main tomb be found at the end of the tomb passage.

Chen Ziyang shook his head, denying his childish idea. How could someone design a tomb to test the tomb robbers? This idea is too unrealistic.The three of them fumbled out of the passage and entered the main tomb.

Turning the flashlight to high beam, Chen Ziyang and Shan Shishuai stood at the entrance of the tomb and swiped the flashlights across to get an overview of the tomb.The size of the tomb is similar to that of the previous stone chambers, but it is still very empty. In the center of the tomb stands a spherical hollow sculpture. Not far behind the sculpture, a pale and pale sarcophagus is laid flat there.

"Er Yang, why is this stone coffin so white and creepy..." Yang Lei saw the white and bluish light reflected from the coffin under the strong flashlight, and said boldly.

"This coffin doesn't seem to be made of stone. It seems..." Shuai Shi looked at the coffin under the light of the flashlight, hesitating to speak.

"Oh, brother umbrella, grandpa umbrella, what are you talking about at this time." Yang Lei stomped his feet anxiously.

"This coffin seems to be made of jade." Shuai Sanshi frowned and said in an uncertain tone.

"What the hell? Jade! Jade or Hetian jade?" Yang Lei heard that the coffin might be jade, his eyes lit up with green light, he forgot all his fears, and was about to go to the coffin with a shotgun in his hand. He left, and was dragged back by Chen Ziyang.

"Don't make extra trouble, even if it's jade, can you take it away? Let's go over there first, and don't touch the coffin if we can get something." Yang Lei looked in the direction Chen Ziyang pointed, and saw that it was on the side of the tomb. There is a small room, and there seem to be several boxes on the floor of the room.Yang Lei reluctantly followed.

A small stone chamber was dug out from the side of the tomb, only a dozen square meters in size.There were three wooden boxes side by side on the floor of the stone room. Shuai Shi walked to the side of the boxes and squatted down with Chen Ziyang, studying them carefully.

"Brother Umbrella. What are you looking at?" Chen Ziyang asked. "Let me see if there is a mechanism near this box, and if I can open the box."

"Old umbrella, do you still understand the mechanism? If you want to tell Zi Yang, I will believe it, can you?" Yang Lei asked in a tone of disbelief.

"I don't understand, but don't forget that I was an engineer. Although I never went to a minefield to clear mines, we have been exposed to all kinds of mines during training. I think that the principle of this mechanism and landmines is similar, nothing more than They are all triggered by some lead wires or springs, and they don’t make any sense.” Usaishi Shuai replied.Feeling that what Shuai Sanshi said made sense, Yang Lei didn't continue to argue with him.

After carefully looking around the box twice, after making sure that there was no trap, Chen Ziyang carefully opened the first box.
