Chapter 650 The Unfinished Tunnel
After a four-hour nap, when they woke up, they found that Lin Ran had also fallen asleep lying on the wooden door.
Wang Jinpeng quickly ran over and pushed Lin Ran.
Lin Ran woke up with hazy eyes and asked, "Why, are you awake?"
"I was worried that something happened to you. Why did you fall asleep standing up?" Wang Jinpeng slapped him and said cursingly.
"Hey, I accidentally fell asleep when I opened the door just now." Lin Ran stretched his muscles.
The wooden door in front of him was pushed open with a creak.
"Not bad." Liu Jingfeng said with appreciation. After they had a good sleep, they felt much better.
The tomb chamber was larger than Lin Ran had imagined. The tomb chamber in front of him obviously did not reach the position of the main tomb.
But the scene here is also weird.
Because the surrounding walls are still mountain walls.
But for some reason, they were all painted red.
The color red is used in public tombs, giving people a sense of deep and terrifying oppression.
Soon, they understood the purpose of this tomb.
In the tomb chamber, about a hundred sheep, horses, pigs and other livestock were preserved using the same method.
Obviously in ancient times, these were also treasures of the royal family.
The items closer to the master's tomb are more valuable. In other words, the group of servants outside have a lower status than animals in the master's heart.
Lin Ran couldn't help but think of the legendary nine-story demon tower. The status of slaves was also lower than that of beasts.
At the beginning of its establishment, the Liao Dynasty practiced slavery.
Later, after dealing with the Central Plains a lot, it gradually transformed into a feudal system.
It is normal for the Liao Emperor Taizu to design the mausoleum structure in this way.
They are not interested in corpses of any kind, whether human or animal.
I walked quickly through the tomb. No wonder it was sealed with a wooden door, just like a fence, just to prevent cattle and sheep from escaping.
After passing through the "pasture", another stone tomb door blocked the way.
This stone door is very special. Its appearance is exactly the same as what Lu Yingjie wrote in his notes. It is a trap stone door.
It is recorded in the notes that the main tomb needs to be repaired more carefully and has frequent visits.
He promised that they would be released after the mausoleum was built, and a stone gate was specially built to allow workers to enter and exit easily and to numb their consciousness.
In fact, the emperor's biggest defense is the workers, after all, they understand the internal structure and location.
So it was basically a killing, but no one else would know about it, and it was impossible to catch the coolie. The coolie knew he was going to die, so he would just do it perfunctorily.
"The main tomb should not be far away." Lin Ran said, and he approached the tomb door to check.
The tomb door in front of you is a single door and cannot be pushed directly.
Lin Ran picked up a flashlight and carefully inspected the gap in the tomb door. He was afraid that even Wang Jinpeng's iron piece could not be inserted into it.
Then he looked at the surrounding mountain walls. The cliffs here were obviously polished and the surface was very smooth.
"It's strange, this is obviously a machine door, but I can't find the machine switch?" Lin Ran said to himself.
"Brother Lin, what are you looking for? Do you want our help?" Liu Jingfeng saw Lin Ran in trouble and stepped forward to ask.
After all, they were a team, and Lin Ran couldn't do everything alone.
"Well, this is a mechanism door, and there must be a mechanism to open the door next to it. However, it may be confused with a trap. If you find anything different, remember to tell me."
The three of them nodded and started looking for the switch.
Lin Ran stood in front of the mountain wall, muttering in his heart.
The mountain wall was smooth, with no buttons or tabs, but there was only one notch.
At first glance, it looked like someone had scratched it with a knife.
But the more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong. Apart from the builder, it was obvious that no one had been to this tomb.
How could someone scratch the wall?
He approached the mountain wall and found that there was more than one scratch.
They were painted all over the place.
After researching it, he found out that it was Khitan writing?Then he can't crack it.
Or... a map?
Lin Ran thought about it from this angle, then closed his eyes and started thinking.
From the time they entered until now, the length and length of the tunnel seemed to match.
Thinking of this, Lin Ran immediately found their current location, and then discovered that there was a deeper mark on the mark!
Looking back, I saw it was 20 meters away.
When he walked back, Wang Jinpeng and the others raised their heads and asked, "Brother Lin, what's wrong with you?"
"I think I found the mechanism." Lin Ran walked to the side of a sheep wax sculpture. The stone slabs under his feet were all painted green.
Only a stone slab under its feet was painted black.
Lin Ran did not dare to step on it rashly. If it was a trap, he would have no place to hide.
But now there is no other way, try your luck!
Lin Ran gritted his teeth and stepped on the stone slab.
The stone slab was dented, and Liu Jingfeng and the other three were confused when they heard the sound of gears turning from behind.
Looking back, I saw that the machine door had really been opened.
Lin Ran was already covered in cold sweat, and he was still thinking about whether he would be shot into a hedgehog.
"Did you find all this?" Wang Jinpeng quickly ran to Lin Ran. Seeing that he was motionless, he thought he had stepped on a trap.
"It's okay." Lin Ran smiled bitterly, "It's already closed at the airport, which means the main tomb is not far away."
"Really? That's great." Wang Jinpeng smiled and put Lin Ran's hand on his shoulder. Lin Ran quickly shook him off and said, "What are you doing?"
"I thought your legs were numb and wanted to help you."
"I was just thinking about how he did it?" Lin Ran said with a smile, "To be able to set up the mechanism so far away, it is either underground or there are many gears placed in the wall. This technology was actually available in the early Liao Dynasty. It’s really hard to understand.”
He only felt that it might not be the tomb of Taizu Taizu of Liao Dynasty.
"Whose tomb does it matter? As long as there is money to be made, we will do it."
"It's not just about going to the tomb, but also about digging up cultural relics." Liu Jingfeng added, "Okay, don't waste any more time. It's so cold inside us. A Ming and Mouse outside will freeze into ice sculptures, right?"
Liu Jingfeng's mood increased a lot.
After saying that, they walked towards the door of the agency together.
As a result, another corridor appeared in front of us.
"This mausoleum is really a secret room." Wang Jinpeng sighed.
He walked in first and continued moving forward according to the previous formation.
The walls of this corridor are completely undeveloped, just ordinary mountain walls. The walls are extremely rough, and the road is getting narrower and narrower. In the end, you can only pass sideways.
When they passed through, they inevitably had to come into close contact with the rocks on the mountain wall, and their skin was almost worn away.
Of course, the roughness is one thing. The ice and water above are what kill people. It is already cold, but when it touches the smooth mountain wall, it will make you shiver even more.
Lin Ran didn't speak, he silently observed the corridor.
This tunnel does not look like a natural cave, it must have been dug manually.
However, it looks like it is unfinished!
