Chapter 80 Suspension Bridge
Two soldiers from the Eastern Dynasty walked on both sides of the suspension bridge, one left and one right carefully supported the iron chains on both sides of the suspension bridge and walked forward, for fear that the suspension bridge, which had existed for an unknown number of years, would suddenly break, or the suspension bridge The boards on it will collapse.

Chen Ziyang, who was standing in the middle of the team, looked at the suspension bridge carefully.The entire suspension bridge is composed of five wrist-thick iron chains.There are three on the lower floor, covered with wooden boards, and one on each side of the upper floor is used as handrails.I don't know what kind of wood is used for the planks on the suspension bridge.After so many years, although some places have been damaged, but the overall condition is still good.

The two soldiers carefully walked forward holding the handrails. Before each step, they stepped on the place where they were about to land with a relatively strong force. They saw that the wooden board under their feet was relatively strong before continuing to move forward.The two walked a distance of tens of meters, but nothing happened.So one of them stopped and waved to the team behind to let everyone follow.

The people in the team are in groups of two, leaning to the side, stepping on the edge of the iron chain under their feet, and slowly walking forward while holding on to the handrail of the iron chain. When Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei walk onto the suspension bridge, they finally The two soldiers who went first had almost reached the middle of the bridge.Chen Ziyang supported the chains of the suspension bridge, and walked forward step by step carefully, avoiding places where there were no boards on the edges of the chains or where the boards seemed to be unstable.

At the beginning, the suspension bridge was in good condition and relatively stable. Chen Ziyang and Yang Lei walked relatively fast, but after they walked a distance of tens of meters, the suspension bridge shook more and more.As the number of people walking on the bridge increased, the shaking of the suspension bridge became more and more serious. There was even a violent shaking of the suspension bridge, which almost knocked Yang Lei off. He was so frightened that he held on to the chain tightly and did not dare to let go. .

If a large number of people cross the bridge at the same time, they cannot adopt a uniform pace, because if the pace is relatively consistent, it is easy to cause resonance of the bridge body, which can easily lead to the collapse of the bridge.However, walking on foot also has a disadvantage, that is, the bridge shakes very badly, and the shaking is very uneven, and sudden shaking can easily shake people under the bridge.

Seeing that the current shaking of the suspension bridge is no longer enough for people to continue walking, the leading general in Chaofang yelled to signal everyone to stop, and then asked the people in the first few groups to walk forward slowly, reducing the number of people walking on the bridge at the same time. The number of people walking on the bridge.

I have to say that this method is still very effective. Everyone stopped holding the iron chains, and the shaking of the suspension bridge was not so serious.Chen Ziyang, who was standing on the bridge, had more time to think. From the moment he stepped on the suspension bridge, he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't feel anything wrong.

Looking at the bottomless abyss under the bridge, Chen Ziyang felt dizzy for a while. The darkness in this abyss seemed to be like a black hole, which was particularly attractive. If you look at it for a little longer, you will feel sucked. After entering, Chen Ziyang quickly focused his attention and gaze on the iron chain in his hand.

Looking at the iron chains as thick as his arms, Chen Ziyang suddenly realized what he felt was wrong, that is, the suspension bridge was too strong!There is nothing wrong with the strong suspension bridge, but what is this place?Here is a tomb, what is the most afraid of the tomb?It is stolen.If the suspension bridge was built so strong before, it was for the convenience of transporting building materials, but why was the suspension bridge not destroyed after the tomb was built?
Even after the people who built the tomb evacuated, they could break the chain at the other end of the suspension bridge. The abyss, hundreds of meters long, was undoubtedly the best anti-theft mechanism, and there was no way for people to cross it.Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang couldn't help admiring the craftsmen who built this tomb. He didn't know how they built such thick, long, and heavy iron chains on such an empty abyss.

Then Chen Ziyang studied the suspension bridge again.It doesn't make sense, Chen Ziyang thought to himself.No matter how you look at it, there is no reason for this suspension bridge to exist.Was it because something happened that the drawbridge couldn't be destroyed?Or is the owner of the tomb not worried about someone coming to rob the tomb at all?Or is there some mechanism on this suspension bridge?
Then Chen Ziyang denied his own ideas one after another. The structure of this suspension bridge is simple, the chains are strong, and the whole bridge can be seen at a glance, there is no mechanism at all.The construction time of such a large tomb is at least 10 years. It is impossible that nothing happened when the tomb was built, but something happened in the moment after the completion of the tomb, which caused the suspension bridge to be destroyed. This probability is too high. small.As for the owner of the tomb not afraid of being stolen, this idea is even more ridiculous. Judging from the previous suspicious tombs and various institutions, the owner of the tomb is terrified of tomb robbery.

Chen Ziyang, who couldn't figure it out, inadvertently glanced at the chain on his hand again, only to find that there was something black stuck to his glove.Strange, what is this?When was it glued on?Chen Ziyang took the glove in front of him, pinched it with a few fingers, and found that it was sticky, like grease, and it was black in color.

Putting the glove close to his nose, Chen Ziyang sniffed the black stuff on the glove carefully. Even in the air full of pungent smell, he smelled a very familiar smell.Chen Ziyang recalled that the taste was a bit like the lard boiled at home in the past.

Cut the fat of the pig into pieces and put it in an iron pot to boil the oil. The remaining shriveled pieces of fat are called Youzi, and the boiled oil is lard. Pour this oil on the Placed in the pot at room temperature, the oil will turn into a white paste after a long time.When Chen Ziyang was young, he liked to eat lard the most, and when the old man dealt with the blood coffin, he had also boiled this kind of lard.In the era when living standards were not good, people used this kind of lard for cooking and cooking.

However, lard is white after solidification, and this oily substance is actually black.Later, Chen Ziyang also found a lot of this black oily substance on his sleeves and clothes, and then he found that this kind of substance was smeared on the iron chain, and there is still a thick layer of it on the iron chain. layer.It is estimated that the people who left before and after also rubbed this oily substance on their bodies.

Because of the strong adhesiveness of this oil, although everyone rubbed a lot on the iron chain, there was still a thick layer on the iron chain. Chen Ziyang took out a knife and carefully scraped the iron chain. Scraping, looking at the pile of black oil on the tip of the knife, I thought, are these things smeared on the iron chain to prevent corrosion?Chen Ziyang thought of engine oil, the reason should be the same.

But then recalling the corpse demon that he had burned into black charcoal before, Chen Ziyang yelled in his heart: Your sister, this should be corpse oil!
