Chapter 271 A wordless monument?
Everyone continued to move forward, and suddenly someone in the team screamed.
"what!"
Everyone turned their eyes to A Ming who screamed.
"What's wrong? You scared me." This scream made everyone nervous.
A Ming pointed forward with trembling fingers: "Dead...dead man!"
His pupils narrowed, obviously seeing something terrifying, and his tone stammered.
Hearing this, Xu Ning immediately huddled up and leaned closer to Huang Hao next to him.
This caused Huang Hao to be dissatisfied and muttered: "Are you still a native master? Isn't it normal for there to be dead people in the mausoleum?"
Following the direction of A Ming's finger, he saw a tower.
It's just a pocket-sized tower, only about four meters high.
But under the tower, there was a skeleton hanging, which seemed to be shaking slightly because of the air generated by the voices of everyone talking just now.
You can even hear the rattling of bones.
Zhenbao's face was also livid. From the moment he entered the tomb, his right eyelid had been twitching, giving him a strong sense of foreboding.
"It's just a corpse." Lin Ran found the corpse in front of the team. The corpse was hung half a meter above the ground. It should be about 1.5 meters tall. It was no longer possible to distinguish between male and female.
Lin Ran observed carefully that there were several fractures in the chest of the skeleton. It seemed that the sternum had been crushed to death by a blunt object.
There is also a pendant around its neck, which looks a bit like an animal's teeth and has turned yellow.
It's just that it's obviously been processed, and there's gold plating on the side.
After checking that there were no other mechanisms, Lin Ran took off the pendant.
"This should be a golden wolf tooth necklace. The exact year is unknown. Since the Zhou Dynasty, people have been in the habit of using wolf teeth as jewelry."
Lin Ran gave the jewelry to Wang Jinpeng, and everyone else couldn't help but stay away.
This thing is going to be sold to others. I really don’t know how the buyer feels when he knows that the jewelry was taken from a corpse and has some dirt on it.
Wang Jinpeng didn't care and was about to put the jewelry into the snakeskin bag.
But it caught Jewel's attention.
"Brother Lin, do you think this is wolf tooth jewelry?" Zhenbao leaned forward curiously.
"Yes, it's a processed wolf tooth. Is it the legendary golden captain's amulet?" Lin Ran asked with a smile.
"Do you know Captain Mojin?" Zhenbao was a little surprised. Lin Ran not only knew about their Tuishan sect, but also the Mojin sect?
"A little research." Lin Ran replied casually.
After all, Captain Mo Jin is already a regular in TV series, so it would be strange not to know.
"Let me take a look." Zhenbao took the wolf tooth jewelry and studied it carefully, "It is indeed a magic weapon of the Gold Touching Sect to suppress evil. Why is it here?"
Zhenbao felt very confused. There was no such thing in the Tang Dynasty.
After his reminder, Lin Ran also started thinking.
Looking at the corpse again: "Did he touch the mechanism, be hung up, and then have his sternum broken by a heavy hammer or something like that and die?"
"No." Liu Jingfeng has studied this too well. "Traps generally do not reset automatically, and before we came, there was no sign that anyone else had been in the tomb."
Everyone stopped talking.
This thing seems so weird, but one thing is certain, that is, this person is not the original owner of the tomb!
"Put the things away first, let's get down to business." Zhenbao handed the things to Wang Jinpeng and asked him to put them away.
And he took two steps forward and came to the front of the tower.
He knelt down, touched the ground with his hands, and sniffed at the ground.
Then, he suddenly turned around and shouted to Wang Jinpeng, who was about to continue walking forward: "Wang Jinpeng! Stop!"
Wang Jinpeng was feeling bored and wanted to look forward for a while.
But when he heard these words, he suddenly stopped where he was.
At the same time, he felt a movement under his feet and a mechanical sound.
"Be careful!" Zhenbao raised his head and saw an iron ball like a clock pendulum swinging down from the air.
And the position it was swinging towards was Wang Jinpeng, and its destination was the tower!
Wang Jinpeng was immediately frightened and at a loss, but at this moment, he felt a powerful momentum.
He threw him to the ground.
The huge iron ball almost flew along his cheek, and then hit the tower heavily.
Smash the corpse's chest directly.
After the iron ball swung in the air for several times, the rope broke and the iron ball was thrown far away and hit a building, leaving a mark on it.
No wonder there are damaged buildings and dead people. It turns out there is a mechanism to prevent tomb robberies.
This mausoleum is indeed not simple!
The person who just knocked down Wang Jinpeng was Lin Ran.
The moment Zhen Bao shouted about the danger, Lin Ran emerged from the trap recorded in Lu Ban's book, and he was the first to react.
In fact, Lin Ran was so scared that his hands were shaking at this moment.
As long as he is not careful, he and Wang Jinpeng will be buried here.
"Thank...Thank you, everyone!" Wang Jinpeng held Lin Ran's hand with great excitement. If the previous formation was just a spiritual comfort, this time it actually saved his life.
"It's okay, but we'd better be careful next time." Lin Ran stood up. He was also scared and needed to calm down.
However, Huang Hao reacted the fastest. After Zhenbao shouted the word danger, Huang Hao had already hid around a corner.
"Mouse, you are too timid." Liu Jingfeng laughed.
"There are too many traps here." Huang Hao was also a little embarrassed, but this was due to his professionalism as a local master, and everyone was just joking.
Zhenbao continued to walk in front of the team, this time he was squatting forward, but he couldn't let his teammates get injured, so he had to be extra careful.
Wang Jinpeng stayed close to him and provided him with light.
After Lin Ran regained consciousness, he said comfortingly: "Don't worry too much, these should be the remaining mechanisms. There should not be many mechanisms in this tomb."
He knew that the cost of this kind of mechanism was very high and it was impossible to arrange it all the way.
They finally understood the cause of death of the corpse just now, but how he got in was still a mystery.
Although Lin Ran was so comforting, everyone was still very nervous and slowed down their progress.
The more than 100-meter atrium is finally completed.
They arrived at the door of the main tomb.
Where there used to be a tombstone, an inscription was erected.
But there is no written explanation, this is a wordless monument!
It has already coincided with history. In order to prevent herself from attracting revenge, Wu Zetian left a monument without words.
Whether the Empress Mausoleum in Qianling is real or the one here is real will be revealed soon.
"There is no inscription on the tombstone, whose tomb is it?" Huang Hao said to himself.
"I still have an ominous premonition." Zhenbao also whispered.
"I remember it was written in the book that what Wu Meiniang left behind was a wordless monument. Could this be her tomb?"
Liu Jingfeng said excitedly!
