Chapter 2 Sixty: Entering the Tomb! 24 generals and ministers!
Arriving at the mountain, several people began to look for the entrance to the tomb.
The crowd spread out to search. They believed Lin Ran, so they took an iron pick and pierced it on the ground to look for the stone slab.
Lin Ran noticed a pine tree at this time.
He suddenly remembered the photo he had seen in the museum in his previous life, showing this pine tree.
He came about ten meters in front of the pine tree, picked up the iron awl and stabbed it.
Sure enough, I hit a rock!
"Found it!" Lin Ran called for everyone to gather around.
Liu Jingfeng was filled with joy. He originally thought that this trip was in vain, but Lin Ran actually helped him find the entrance again!
After confirming the approximate location, Wang Jinpeng and Xu Ning picked up the Luoyang shovel and began to move the shovel.
The soil here was soft, and in less than an hour, everyone dug a hole five to six meters deep, exposing the entire stone gate.
Zhenbao began to study the stone door, and first asked Wang Jinpeng to knock on the door with a shovel. As a result, the shovel was bent, but the stone door remained motionless.
"Let's dig a little deeper," Jumbo said.
"No way." Wang Jinpeng waved his hand, "There is already a stone platform below. Unless we use a hammer to smash the stone, it is hard to say whether the mechanism inside will be activated."
In order to prevent theft, ancient mausoleums usually have some automatic burial mechanisms.
If someone tries to destroy it from the outside, the tomb structure will collapse and the entire corridor will be buried.
At that time, the only way is to forcefully break in from above the tomb, and the damage to the tomb will be even more serious.
Lin Ran stepped forward and said, "Mr. Zhenbao, Brother Wang, please give way."
Zhenbao and Wang Jinpeng stood up and looked at Lin Ran with puzzled eyes.
Lin Ran groped for a while on the stone door, and then he was surprised to find a small hole.
He tried to insert the steel bars he brought into the small hole. It was already filled with soil, but with a little force, all the soil was pushed in.
Wang Jinpeng said: "Brother Lin, do you want to pry it open? It is probably impossible. What we just used was a steel shovel, which is similar to your steel bar."
Lin Ran didn't respond to him, just closed his eyes and recalled the design of the tomb chapter of Lu Ban's book.
He adjusted his angle slightly and looked for the switch behind the stone door.
The workers who built the mausoleum in those days were often imprisoned by the soldiers and buried with them after the mausoleum was completed.
Just to keep them from leaking their secrets.
Workers are not fools. They will naturally find ways to leave a way out for themselves.
The main entrance of the tomb is usually guarded by soldiers for a month, so there is no way to escape.
The corridor gate became their means of escape.
The stone door of the underground palace will have heavy objects to hold it firmly so that external forces cannot push people away.
But in order to allow themselves to escape, the workers did not make the tapstone into a fixed wall, but placed it at a certain distance from the stone door.
After they escaped from the mausoleum, they used ropes to tilt it at a 75-degree angle and secure the stone door firmly.
Pretend that they are also in the corridor.
This was also concluded in the 90s when archaeologists conducted large-scale archeology of Tang Dynasty tombs.
As long as the mausoleum in front of him was a Tang mausoleum, Lin Ran would have the confidence to push it away.
Everyone thought that Lin Ran was just being mysterious, and Huang Hao even laughed at him: "Wang Jinpeng, you are not as strong as a kid, are you?"
Wang Jinpeng looked a little ugly and said, "Brother Lin, don't waste your efforts. I can't even push you away."
At this moment, Lin Ran felt the hook structure and felt happy.
Try again and finally feel where the leaning stone is!
After adjusting the angle of the crutch key, he said to Wang Jinpeng: "Brother Wang, please work with me to pry this steel bar."
"What?" Although Wang Jinpeng didn't react, he and Lin Ran still held the steel bar together.
"I count 123, let's go down together."
"1...2...3!" Lin Ran shouted three, and Wang Jinpeng felt huge resistance in his hands.
But he increased his strength, and then heard a loud bang from behind the stone door.
Lin Ran knew that this was the sound of returning to his original position.
It weighed at least five to six hundred kilograms when it came, and it couldn't be pushed away using brute force. The main reason was that its friction was very large, reaching several tons.
Wang Jinpeng breathed a sigh of relief, and then Zhenbao came to the stone door and tried to push it.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that the stone door can really be pushed inward.
Liu Jingfeng also had an expression of joy on his face. It was indeed the right choice to bring Lin Ran here!
Just let Zhen Bao handle the rest. After a while, the stone door was completely opened.
A dark corridor appeared in front of everyone.
The environment is like an underground palace, but as soon as the door is opened, a pungent smell hits the face.
"Let's go after the smell dissipates." Lin Ran nodded.
They were tired now and needed to replenish their strength.
After simply eating some compressed biscuits and water, a new round of work in the tomb began.
Since the tomb looked more majestic, Wang Jinpeng took out a miner's lamp from his bag and put it on his head.
Holding a shovel as a weapon.
Light entered the tomb, and the originally airtight tomb now revealed its corridor to everyone.
Wang Jinpeng walked in the front, followed by everyone.
Even the searchlight couldn't shine directly to the bottom, and was swallowed by endless darkness.
After walking about 20 meters, Zhenbao stopped everyone.
"Wait a minute." Zhenbao suddenly stopped everyone's actions. He squatted on the ground and saw a stone slab floating slightly. He frowned and said, "There is a trap here. Don't step on it."
This was the first time Lin Ran saw a stone slab with hidden grids, and he couldn't help but think of the underground trap recorded by Lu Yingjie.
Mechanism is a traditional skill of China. Very early on, China began to make various traps.
If he stepped on it, it would most likely trigger a hidden arrow somewhere and shoot him through the body.
But this thing has probably been broken for thousands of years.
After all, bowstrings are not like gold or metal. If they are exposed to the air for a long time, they may have lost their elasticity.
But the possibility of other traps cannot be ruled out.
Because of this, Lin Ran saw the level of the treasure.
In this gloomy environment, one can actually see the unusualness of the stone slab at a glance. He is worthy of the legendary Mountain Moving Sect.
Continuing along the corridor, we eliminated several more traps.
Looking at the spears and arrows that had been removed by the treasures, everyone felt a chill in their necks.
This thing is extremely rusty. If it scratches the skin, you will have to go to the hospital to get a tetanus shot.
Both sides of the corridor and the ground are paved with Tang bricks.
There are also murals on the bluestone bricks on both sides.
The mural on the left is a general in battle, wearing a cape, with a group of soldiers following him, fighting against foreigners.
On the other side, there were 24 generals and ministers, kneeling around the man in yellow robes.
This is indeed the tomb of Li Ji!
