Chapter 422 Grave Guard Bug!It’s the poor god ice!
Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhenbao took the initiative to stand up and look at the mechanism above.
"Brother Lin is indeed very powerful. I didn't expect you to see the secret of the tomb door so quickly."
Zhenbao looked at the constantly rotating compass and said, "According to your guess, Brother Lin, the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams engraved on the stone door are indeed the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams. It is rumored that its function is to calm the soul."
Yin and Yang calm the soul and seal the five elements.
This pattern is obviously the Yin Yang Bagua.
"Destroy the formation eye and you should be able to get in." Lin Ran pointed to the rocks above.
He could only speculate so much.
"Leave it to me!" Wang Jinpeng picked up the sledgehammer and prepared to swing it.
With two hammer blows, the rocks above became somewhat loose.
As the stones loosened, the stone door seemed to be shaking.
This is because the so-called formation eye actually means that the ancients had no knowledge of physics and called the support point the formation eye. In fact, its function is to support the stone gate and prevent it from falling.
In Tibetan areas, having the owner of such a tomb must have a lot to do with it.
Within a few minutes, the stone above was finally knocked down by Wang Jinpeng.
Then, everyone heard the sound of heavy objects falling from behind the stone door.
When they pushed the stone door again, they felt that with more force, they could push the stone door open!
"It can't be pushed by brute force alone. You should shovel some of the soil below." Lin Ran took out the Luoyang shovel from his backpack and handed it to Wang Jinpeng.
The structure of this door should be a lever, and the stone slab under your feet is the support point.
Pry open the stone slab and dig out some of the soil inside, and you should be able to push the door open.
Wang Jinpeng and Xu Ning got busy, but they didn't complain. After all, they didn't know the other work of going to the tomb, so they could only do hard work.
Before entering the secret passage again, Lin Ran remembered the legend he had heard before.
Among the tombs in Tibetan areas, there is a kind of tomb-guarding insect called Dap ghost insect.
It looks like a ladybug, but is larger and transparent.
There are two colors, the blue one is called the infinite karma fire, and the silver one is called the Neqiong Shenbing.
According to rumors, they all have the power to crush souls, and anyone who touches them will die!
The reason why I think of this bug is that the tick disease has just been cured in the village.
The ancients were full of awe of the unknown, so they may have mistaken ticks for monsters.
Although the superstition in the legend is not advisable, the harm it causes to human beings is real.
Therefore, Lin Ran also said to everyone seriously: "Everyone, please zip up your clothes. There may be poisonous insects inside, so be sure not to let them come into contact with your skin."
It happened that Wang Jinpeng and the others were still shoveling the soil, and Lin Ran also took the opportunity to tell everyone about the tomb worm and his speculation.
Zhenbao also had some thoughts: "In the documents left by the ancestors, there are indeed mentions of tomb-guarding insects. Most of the ones we saw in the tombs were scorpions and centipedes. This is the first time I heard Brother Lin mention this. Plant bugs.”
"Actually, they are almost the same. They are all arthropods." Lin Ran replied casually.
They all pulled up their collars and seemed to feel mosquito bites on their necks.
"Brother Lin, do you have a way to deal with them?" Liu Jingfeng asked.
Lin Ran shrugged and said: "I'm not an entomologist. This kind of bug itself is difficult to prevent, and it may not be a tick. You can only be careful."
If it's just ticks, there are ways to deal with them.
If it were other strange bugs, Lin Ran wouldn't have a solution for a while.
In his impression, many people did pay the price with their lives while exploring this ancient tomb, but not all of them were novices. There were many experienced people with more advanced equipment than them, and they all fell into the trap. !
The wisdom of the ancients must not be underestimated, and be careful when sailing the ship of ten thousand years!
While everyone was busy opening the door, Zhenbao quietly called Lin Ran.
"Brother Lin, are you really not one of the four sects?" Zhenbao asked doubtfully.
"Of course not, I'm just an ordinary farmer's boy." Lin Ran smiled and didn't understand why Zhenbao asked so much.
After Zhenbao clasped his fists at Lin Ran, he whispered: "Grave Guard Bug, Five Elements Bagua, this is not something ordinary people know."
Speaking of which, Lin Ran hadn't asked Lu Yingjie which school he studied under, but he vaguely felt that he and Zhenbao had some similarities.
"It's time to do something!" Wang Jinpeng took a shovel and dug a handful of soil, and the stone door was finally completely loose.
"Come here and lend a hand." After Wang Jinpeng said, Xu Ning put down the shovel in his hand and followed him to the door, shouting one, two, three and working hard together.
The stone door was actually pushed inward and tilted.
However, the stone door did not open completely. It seemed that something was blocking it underneath, making it impossible to continue pushing.
The hole exposed above is at an angle of thirty degrees and can already be passed through.
"Let's go in." Liu Jingfeng rubbed his hands excitedly. When the tomb door was opened, it meant half the battle was won.
Wang Jinpeng climbed over bravely, then let out a cry, as if he fell.
"Are you okay?" Liu Jingfeng asked quickly. Is there a trap behind him?
"It's okay, the main reason is that the ground is too slippery and there is a slope. Be careful when you come over later." Wang Jinpeng shouted from behind the tomb door.
Everyone felt relieved after hearing the news of safety.
Start entering the tomb in batches.
Lin Ran was the second to last person to enter the tomb, and Xu Ning was the last one.
When we arrived at the mausoleum, everyone used flashlights to get a clear view of the entire interior.
From the outside, it looks like a tall tower in the middle of a cliff!
But looking at it from the inside, Lin Ran only felt that it was a bit like the shopping malls of later generations, with layers and layers interlocking with each other.
There are many stone doors on each floor. There must be either a treasure room or a burial room behind them.
A rough count shows that there are three to four rooms on each floor, at least thirty rooms.
Coupled with the floor space, everyone is very excited, and they will definitely come back with a full load this time!
It is not easy to get down. After all, the center is so deep that if you fall, you will definitely lose your body.
You can only go around it layer by layer along the edge.
Lin Ran felt relieved after seeing such a structure.
Fortunately, it was not the same as the TV series I watched at that time. The structure inside was complex, like a city.
What they stepped on were bluestone slabs, which were not abundant in the area.
Being able to transport so many bluestone slabs from other places to make the tomb chamber clearly shows the status of the owner.
The frame of the tomb is made of pine and cypress wood, which is not abundant here. To use so many pine and cypress wood, it must have been bought from other places at a high price.
The cost of materials and transportation were unimaginable, and a nine-story tower was built.
There must be many treasures inside!
After making all preparations, the group pulled up their collars. In addition to dealing with the cold in the tomb, they also had to guard against the poisonous insects mentioned by Lin Ran.
Finally, Liu Jingfeng arranged a formation, Zhenbao was responsible for detecting traps, and the group moved forward cautiously along the edge!
