Chapter 192 The Rusty Brass Lock

This rock is about the height of a wall.

The stones are perfectly embedded into the rock walls on both sides, and there is no sign of any mechanism on the surface of the entire Zilaishimen.

It feels like a huge stone formed naturally, blocking the door of the tomb.

However, there are occasional scratches on the natural stone, oil stains at the junction with the rock wall, and sharp tool chisels...

These are estimated to be left behind by the tomb robbers of the major sects when they broke into the stone gate recently, and all of them returned without success.

I pushed it, and it didn't budge.

Unless it is disassembled violently, there is no way.

Violent dismantling has two major disadvantages. First, it is easy to collapse the entire Song tomb. In case the corridors outside collapse, let alone go in to get treasure, it is easy for people to get in.Second, things that are violently disassembled are more difficult to handle, and the movement is too loud, which can easily attract the attention of the public.

When Hu Sansiao saw him, he let out a "huh" and his old face looked extremely excited.

This is the expression he would only show when he saw a very difficult mechanism.

Hu Sanmiao carefully observed Shimen, then pinched his fingers, as if he was doing calculations.

Since then.

He squatted on the ground and began to write and draw in the soil with stones.

After a while, I felt that it was not right, so I erased it and started again, and performed the deduction again.

Look at the things he drew on the ground, like five elements and eight trigrams.

Bian Wu and I couldn't understand either, so we sat down to smoke and chat next to each other.

Bian Wu said: "It is said that a Marquis of Wu in the Northern Song Dynasty was buried inside. The specific name cannot be tested yet. But it is confirmed that there is a golden threaded garment among the funeral objects, which is a world-class treasure."

No wonder so many tomb robbers are eager to open this Song tomb.

If there is a golden threaded garment, it is indeed a world treasure just like the Sanxingdui golden mask.

Eat ten generations in one pot.

No cook gives up easily.

I asked: "Judging from the shape of the stone carvings in the corridor outside, it is indeed a Song tomb. As for whether Lord Wu was buried, it can also be explained that the Taoist who moved the mountain who discovered the cemetery made inferences from the records in ancient books and the location of Fengshui. But the golden thread No one has been in the clothes so far, so how would they know?"

When Bian Wu heard this, he shook his head: "...The techniques of each school are different. It's not clear how Taoist movers used to detect the golden thread clothes."

This is beyond dispute.

Huang Muhua also dug a fairy cave into Jin Yiwei's tomb at that time, and found that there were gentian beads with jade belts inside.

Although antiques and tomb robbery have something in common, the so-called chicken does not pee, each has its own way, and the secret method is completely unpredictable.

Hu Sanmiao held the searchlight in one hand, and kept calculating on the ground with the other. Beads of sweat came out on his forehead, and he seemed very nervous.

I checked the time, it was already 02:30 in the morning.

Big Bus set the grave opening time at [-]:[-].

Seeing this situation, Bian Wu became a little anxious.

"Time is running out! Big Bus must be on the way up the mountain now. If we can't open it, we will be blocked in the corridor! How about we get out first?"

I replied, "Give Master Hu a little more time."

Two forty.

Hu Sanmiao was stunned suddenly, grabbed his hair with his dirty hands, and murmured, "How could it be wrong...how could it be wrong..."

Kind of bad!

Do not go out again.

We might really be stuck here.

Brother Big Bus is a bunch of desperadoes!

Bian Wu shook his beard and said, "Boss, make a decision quickly!"

I saw that Hu Sanshou had already wiped some of the calculation steps on the ground and was recalculating, so I gritted my teeth and said, "Wait for Master Hu for another 5 minutes!"

Time passed by second by second.

I seemed to hear the footsteps of the people coming from the mountain, and I don't know if it was an illusion.

3 minutes later.

Hu Sanshou suddenly stood up from the ground, quickly wiped off the calculated steps on the ground with his feet, his face was full of joy.

Become!

I saw him start to touch the natural stones on the side with his hands.

An extremely surprising scene appeared.

But all the rocks he touched could move slowly.

Hu Sanmiao said to us who were stunned: "Quick, let me point out the stone, and you all help move it!"

According to his request, we went to break the stones on the rock walls.

After the nine stones were moved, they quickly returned to their original positions.

But at this moment, Zilai Shimen actually made a "click" sound, and moved a gap from the rock wall on the right like an automatic door.

I took a flashlight to look into the gap, and found a big copper lock, and it was locked from the inside.

This time, we were all stunned.

Since ancient times, in the cemetery, after the craftsmen have withdrawn, they generally set up the institutions outside.But this Zilaishimen, not only has such a complicated mechanism on the outside, why is there a big copper lock inside?

More importantly.

Although this copper lock looks like an ancient lock, its surface is extremely smooth, as if someone lives inside, and to prevent outsiders from entering, they often open the lock and touch it.

But I only thought about this doubt for a few seconds, and then I figured it out halfway.

The lock slot inside is rusty, which proves that the lock slot was made when the tomb was built.

In ancient times, there were two ways to accompany emperors or princes and nobles to die.

One is death martyrdom, which is to give the maids and servants to death outside, put the corpse into the tomb together with the owner of the tomb, and then seal the tomb door.

The other is living martyrdom, usually led by a leader. After leading the buried maids and servants into the main tomb, the leader of the burial places a large lock on the lock slot arranged in advance, and breaks or swallows the key. , Don't let everyone go out, the living are buried inside.

A very cruel way of feudal burial.

Judging from the lock slot, living martyrdom must have been carried out here.

As for why this copper lock does not rust, we can only know after going in and looking at it.

Right now.

We could already hear the commotion outside the corridor.

Brother Big Bus is here!

Bian Wu belonged to the Yin-Yang sect. They belonged to the Feng Shui school and changed careers. When they saw the rust-free copper lock, their expression changed, and they even picked up a Taoist talisman with them: "It is estimated that Song Wuhou has been living in it! Brother Su, what the hell?" Whether to turn around and deal with Big Bus, or go in and deal with Song Wuhou, you decide quickly!"

I almost fainted.

It's all so weird!

There is no time to explain to them now.

I asked Hu Sansiao: "Can the lock be opened?"

Hu Sans replied: "The lock inside is too simple, but... what Xiao Wu said just now, could someone actually live inside it?"

It seems that he was also a little scared by Bian Wu's neurotic statement.

I replied, "Open! No more mess!"

When Hu Sanmiao heard this, he frowned, pinched out a small wire in his hand, passed through the gap and swung it in, and the copper lock opened with a click.

The three of us rushed in quickly.

After entering, Hu Sanshao asked us to tighten the horse head rings on the left and right sides of Zilai Shimen respectively.

Then, he started to push the door aside hard.

"Boom".

Shuilai Shimen is closed as it is!
