Chapter 476: Brimstone seal?
Wang Jinpeng and Xu Ning took turns to pry open the door and knock on it, but the tomb sealing stone did not move at all.
They couldn't help but turn to Zhenbao for help. After all, Zhenbao was the expert at opening doors.
Zhenbao shook his head: "If it is a stone door, there may be a mechanism to open it, but the sealing stone usually means that the tomb will not be opened again, so naturally there will be no switch left."
The wind and snow were still raging, and it was getting dark.
However, after finding the tombstone, everyone gained some confidence and could be sure that the entrance to the underground palace was at the back.
I saw that the tombstone was backed by a mountain, and there were no signs of repairs from the outside!
Perhaps after thousands of years of evolution, it has long been integrated with the mountain.
Liu Jingfeng said: "Now that we have found the entrance to the mausoleum, we might as well set up camp here. The wind and snow are too heavy. We need to recover some strength. Maybe it is better to open the door."
After the exploration just now, everyone was indeed very tired.
Fortunately, there was a large open space in front of the mausoleum. They set up three tents and planned to take a rest here.
At this time, Wang Jinpeng asked: "Do any of you still have water?"
Only two days after he came to the mountain, he drank all the water in his backpack.
Liu Jingfeng took out the kettle from his backpack and handed it to Wang Jinpeng: "Save your drink."
Wang Jinpeng grabbed the water and poured it into his mouth, as if he didn't hear what he said.
"He has just recovered from an illness and his body needs to replenish water." Lin Ran explained.
If they can no longer find water in the mountains, they will only suffer from thirst.
"Can we collect the snow? If it melts, won't it turn into water?" A Ming suggested.
"Well, this idea is feasible, but the snow water needs to be boiled before drinking, and there must be bacteria and microorganisms in it." Lin Ran said.
From where they were now, there were basically no trees in sight, and there was no way to light a fire.
After eating and replenishing energy, Wang Jinpeng stood up and said, "Let me try again!"
"Brute force won't work." Lin Ran shook his head. They had already experienced the quality of this marble before.
No matter whether it is a hammer or a shovel, it is difficult to move it at all!
A suitable way must be found to get it out of the way.
For stones of this quality, an excavator is usually used, but for such a high mountain, an excavator may not be able to drive in.
The next best thing is dynamite!
As long as a gap can be blasted, it can be knocked down.
After all, it can't be square, and as long as its balance is disturbed, it will collapse.
After hearing Lin Ran's words, Liu Jingfeng looked gloomy.
He frowned and said, "Then we can't enter? We didn't bring any explosives."
"Let me give it a try." Wang Jinpeng said unyieldingly, grabbed the shovel, and knocked on the bottom of the marble.
dong dong dong.
There was a sound like knocking on the ice.
Moreover, while he was tapping, Lin Ran smelled a strange smell in the air.
Sulfur smell?
"Wait a minute." Lin Ran stopped Wang Jinpeng's actions and slowly squatted down.
Where Wang Jinpeng had just hit it with a shovel, some powder appeared underneath.
Wang Jinpeng thought it was marble powder, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
Lin Ran pinched some powder with his fingers, brought it close to his nose and smelled it.
"It's brimstone!"
A Ming was an expert in this field. He hurriedly came over, took a sniff, and declared: "This is indeed sulfur!"
Why is there sulfur here?
Lin Ran felt a little puzzled.
The sulfur obviously fell behind the marble. Generally speaking, similar stones would only be generated near volcanoes, but this mountain obviously did not.
That means there is something wrong with this tombstone!
He quickly turned around and said to everyone: "Jin Peng, I have an idea, but it might be a bit dangerous. Do you want to try it?"
Liu Jingfeng's face lit up and he said, "You came up with a method so quickly? You are worthy of Mr. Lin!"
"You tell me, while I still have the energy." Wang Jinpeng wiped his nose, "If I don't move, I will turn into a popsicle!"
The others also looked at Lin Ran expectantly.
"For some reason, this stone has flammable material behind it. As long as the fire can be introduced, it may be possible to burn through their connecting layer."
According to Lin Ran's guess, the source of the sulfur was the dust scattered by the beating of the marble and the coating behind it.
Sulfur is a flammable substance that will ignite wherever there is an open flame!
But the biggest risk is not knowing how big the space behind it is?
If it ignites very quickly in a confined space, there is a risk of explosion.
And if an explosion occurs on such a mountain, the consequences can be imagined, and an avalanche is inevitable!
But they have no choice now.
Lin Ran and his party tied the ropes again, and they wanted to leave the tomb passage to prevent possible dangers.
Wang Jinpeng is responsible for lighting the fire.
He gestured to the crowd, telling them to leave.
He held a piece of lit paper in his hand, which Liu Jingfeng tore from the book.
It is not easy to light a fire, humid environment, plateau area, and constant blowing wind.
It took several times to light the paper, then carefully threw it on top of the falling sulfur.
The sulfur presents a lead that goes directly into the interior.
Wang Jinpeng used paper to ignite the sulfur outside, and it actually caught fire!
Seeing the fire moving towards the tomb stone, he quickly ran towards the people.
In the distance, Lin Ran and a group of people looked at Wang Jinpeng nervously.
The moment he left the tomb passage, a strong fire appeared behind him, accompanied by a muffled sound.
Being able to hear this sound in the middle of a blizzard is obviously quite powerful.
After confirming that there was no danger, they returned to the tomb passage.
There was a strange smell in the air.
When they came to the tomb sealing stone again, Lin Ran gently pushed the stone and found that it was a little loose.
I feel strange.
Obviously they carved a snake pattern on the tomb stone. Snakes are afraid of the smell of sulfur. Why is there sulfur in the coating on the back?
But he was sure of one thing, the stone should be easy to break open now.
He said to Wang Jinpeng and Xu Ning: "You can pry the stone open now."
"Okay!" They both replied at the same time, took out their tools and walked to the stone door.
After just a few tilts, I saw that the stone was obviously tilting outward.
I couldn't help but feel happy: "It actually works!"
Seeing that the stone was about to fall, Lin Ran said, "Now you can move back a little and use another angle."
It is estimated that this stone weighs five tons. If it is tilted at about 10 degrees, it may fall over.
The person standing behind will definitely be in danger, so give him a warning.
Wang Jinpeng consciously stepped aside, and then they both exerted force from the side.
"boom"!
Just a loud noise was heard, and the tomb stone fell to the ground!
