Chapter 16 The Trap

"Whoever moved what?"

Zhang Yitong held up a pen and said weakly: "I was just a little curious, but I didn't expect it to take it out immediately."

Now that things have come to this point, no one else knows what to say, after all, she didn't do it on purpose.

At this moment, another tomb door in the hall suddenly rose up.

"What's the situation? Is this pen really the mechanism of opening the main tomb chamber?" Director Gu felt a little unbelievable. This was too simple. It was seriously inconsistent with the layout of the entire tomb chamber.

Zhang Hao carefully recalled the original work, as if the final breakthrough started from the fake tomb chamber inside, so he did not speak out.

The colonel said, "In this way, some people go in and check the situation, and leave some people outside. If something really happens, someone will also respond."

Compared to the original simple equipment, they are fully armed, and gas masks are all the best.

The four soldiers in the front opened the way, Zhang Tianhe and the others mixed in the middle, and there were two soldiers behind them prepared for defense.

Four soldiers and two archaeological team members were left outside to deal with emergencies that could occur at any time.

The tomb behind the door is much smaller than outside. There is nothing else in the middle of the tomb except a stone coffin, and there are also some murals on the walls around the tomb.

The stone coffin is about three meters long, just a little shorter than a person. The whole body is made of large stones. Except for the bottom of the stone coffin, the rest of the surroundings and the coffin cover are carved with a huge human face. The entire stone coffin is gray, giving people a solemn appearance.

The human face seems to be the decoration on the stone coffin, carved with five views, no different from ordinary people, except that the ears are slightly larger and the eyes are looking straight, without any expression on the face. Although it is just a human face carved from a stone, it gives people a weird and cold feeling.

"Is it Li Chunfeng lying here? Why do I feel a little weird?" Gu Xiaoxi felt a little uncomfortable when she looked at the stone coffin.

Director Gu said: "From the structure of this tomb, the murals of the fat palace maids, and the pomp and such craftsmanship, it is undoubtedly from the Tang Dynasty, but... then again, this stone coffin is indeed not something from the Tang Dynasty."

However, thinking of the entire underground palace, it originally belonged to the Western Zhou Dynasty, and this matter seemed to be working again.

Zhang Yitong asked carefully: "Then should we open the coffin and take a look?"

"No, it cannot be opened. If it is really the stone coffin that buried Li Chunfeng, there must be a lot of burial items in it. If the cultural relics are damaged because of our improper opening of the coffin, we will be the sinners of history and the sinners of the nation." Director Gu was also very excited, but he had his own principles.

However, this is also the difference between an archaeological team and a tomb robber. If it were a tomb robber, they would definitely open the coffin violently, and they would not care so much.

But Zhang Hao knew that Li Chunfeng's body was not in the stone coffin, but if he didn't follow the original work, he and I would not be able to solve the current dilemma and open this mechanism.

"I think this should not be Li Chunfeng's real coffin, because it was too easy for us to come in."

After hearing his words, Director Gu finally made a decision: "Open the coffin!"

The purpose of their live broadcast was to directly directly in the tomb, and nothing attracted more attention than opening a coffin.

If it was really Li Chunfeng's coffin, Director Gu might have hesitated, but he himself thought it was not, so he wanted to take a gamble.

Everyone in the tomb room brought gas masks, and each of the several soldiers responsible for opening the coffin held a crowbar in their hands.

Zhang Hao said: "Wait a minute, according to the rules of gold-touching, first light a candle in the southeast corner. Only when the candle is destroyed can the coffin be opened."

Director Gu nodded: "Man lights candles, ghosts blow the lights, and roosters crow and don't touch gold when they turn off. It means that when entering the ancient tomb, a candle is lit in the southeast corner before opening the coffin. If the candle goes out, it must exit quickly and cannot be taken. According to legend, this is a contract between the living and the dead set by the ancestor of the gold. It has been passed down for thousands of years and no exception can be made."

Although it is the era of science, there are actually many things in the world that science cannot explain, especially those who are in this industry. No matter what, they still have some praise for the passed down set.

After all, it is reasonable to exist for many things, and lighting candles is not completely without scientific basis.

In ancient times, when people built tomb chambers, most of them set up the tomb door in the southeast corner. In ancient times, there was no flashlight. The southeast corner was the closest to the tomb door. If you light a candle here, you can quickly evacuate from the southeast corner if something goes wrong.

As we all know, in ancient China, the residences and cemeteries of high-ranking officials and nobles often paid great attention to the yin and yang and eight trigrams of Feng Shui, and ancient tomb robbers mainly used the Eight Trigrams of the Book of Changes as their purpose to observe the Feng Shui weather to locate the tombs.

In the Eight Trigrams, "Qian is the sky, Kun is the earth, Zhen is thunder, Xun is the wind, Gen is the mountain, Dui is the ze, Kan is the water, and Li is the fire", each direction corresponds to a substance, and the southeast corner corresponds to the Fengmen, that is, the Xun hexagram.

The wind gate means that this direction is ventilated and the air circulation is the strongest. If the candle cannot be lit in the southeast corner, where the air circulation is the strongest, people will not be able to survive in other places.

Zhang Hao took out a simple compass and began to measure the direction. Soon he found the southeast corner, took out a candle and lit it.

"Open the coffin!"

At the command of Director Gu, several soldiers began to pick up crowbars and pry them up.

"No, the candle is out."

Zhang Yitong discovered this immediately.

Gu Xiaoxi said: "Little mouse, where did you buy this candle?"

Zhang Hao said embarrassedly: "I just found a daily necessities store to buy it."

He walked up and relit the candle.

But it was soon extinguished.

"Don't worry, just open it."

The arrow was on the string and had to be fired. Now that things have come to this, Director Gu doesn't want to give up.

"one two three……"

Several soldiers pried up with slogans and soon the lid of the coffin was overturned to the ground. Before they could go forward to investigate, they saw a large amount of silver things pouring out of the stone coffin.

"No, it's mercury. This is a trap. Get out quickly."

Zhang Hao was prepared and immediately reminded him.

However, when the tomb door that came in was prying open the coffin lid, they were still one step late.

Zhang Hao said: "Hurry up and blow up the tomb door."

Those who were fighting were very quick and carried very well.

One of the soldiers immediately took out a palm-sized thing and stuck it on the tomb door, then asked the others to hide away, held a remote control in his hand, and reached out and pressed.

"Boom~"

An explosion sounded, and the tomb door was blown up to pieces.
