Chapter 321 Entering the tomb!Corpses everywhere!
In the end, Liu Jingfeng and his party rejected Huang Hao's proposal.
Not to mention the danger of using someone else's hole, we don't know how long it will take to dig inside.
They had less than twelve hours, not to waste it.
Standing at the door of the tomb, Lin Ran had an idea flash in his mind.
Today's tomb robbers still have various tools. In the absence of cranes and explosives, it was almost impossible for ancient tomb robbers to open rocks that were several meters thick.
Most tomb robbers use excrement water and splash it on copper and iron doors to make them corrode quickly.
But it will take at least ten days and a half, which is absolutely too late.
The copper door in front of me has an obvious opening and closing structure. Although it must have been rusted, if you find the switch, you can definitely open the door.
However, according to the description in Lu Ban's book, the switch of the bronze door should be in the mausoleum.
The last person to take the initiative to close the door must be a close confidant of the tomb owner, who is willing to be buried with him and close the door.
At this time, there is only one way, which is to dig the wall.
Finally coming back from his thoughts, Lin Ran heard Huang Hao's discussion.
"Root hole?" Lin Ran couldn't help but remember that when he touched the door just now, he smelled a rotten smell.
Could it be exposed from a hole?
He took out his flashlight and examined it carefully above the copper door.
The northern sect of tomb robbers are also very professional. They have dug many robber holes and have already reached the diamond wall.
However, the bricks of the King Kong Wall were not moved.
Lin Ran pointed to the small hole above and said, "Who has a way to remove those bricks?"
Everyone looked along Lin Ran's flashlight and saw that it was a small hole that only allowed people of short stature to pass through.
"Leave it to me for physical work." Wang Jinpeng was watching outside, and he was the strongest one inside.
He took out his shovel, climbed over the same door, and tapped lightly on the wall.
It was a solid wall, and then he took out the drill bit, wrapped it with a layer of cloth, and passed the cloth through the cracks in the bricks above.
Although there is still a sound, the sound has been reduced as much as possible, and it sounds a bit like the roar of wild beasts in the mountains.
The first brick was removed. The brick had obviously aged and had turned black inside.
Xu Ning shined a flashlight into the bricks, and it was pitch black and bottomless!
But it is certain that this is the passage leading to the interior of the tomb.
Everyone became excited, and Xu Ning didn't want to spoil everyone's excitement, so he took the drill and continued drilling.
After an hour and ten bricks were removed, he was already exhausted and sweating profusely.
Lin Ran went up and gestured. He was tall and couldn't squeeze in.
However, this size is enough for Huang Hao.
"Brother Huang, can I ask you a favor?" Lin Ran asked.
Huang Hao knew immediately that he wanted to climb in by himself, and quickly waved his hand and refused: "Brother Lin, it's useless for me to go in. How can I move the things out alone?"
As a tomb robber, Huang Hao is not particularly afraid of ghosts, but if he is asked to work alone in the tomb, he will inevitably be scared.
"No, Brother Huang, when you go in, you should be able to see two stone pillars. There are handles on the stone pillars. You can pull the handle down and open the door." Lin Ran smiled.
Huang Hao looked unbelieving: "Brother Lin, do you know whose tomb this is? Do you even know the mechanisms inside?"
"The preliminary guess is that it is the tomb of Ji Shuang, Duke of Yanzhao in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. The tomb follows the style of the Shang Dynasty, and the structure is similar."
"Are you sure?" Huang Hao took a look at the hole on it and found out that among all the people, he was the only one with the most suitable figure.
Xu Ning said: "How about taking apart a few more pieces?"
"No, there's not enough time." Lin Ran said, "We have to fill the bricks back later, otherwise the flaws will be discovered. Brother Huang, do you believe me?"
Looking at Lin Ran's serious and serious eyes, Huang Hao sighed.
"Oh, I can try it, but don't sell it to me."
"Mouse, who do you think we are?" Liu Jingfeng joked with him pretending to be relaxed.
In fact, he also knew that it was very dangerous for a person to enter the tomb.
There may be mechanisms inside, or there may be poisonous gas inside.
If you have teammates, you can also look after each other.
But if one goes in, the hole is so small, no one can help if there is an accident.
"Tie a rope around your waist. If something happens and shakes the rope, we will find a way to pull you out." Lin Ran put forward a compromise suggestion.
"No need." Huang Hao came to Xu Ning's position, squatted down, and shined a flashlight inside for a while, unable to see the specific landing spot.
"I still want it." Lin Ran took out a hemp rope from his backpack and handed it to Huang Hao, "From that position, there should be a deep pit of about five meters. I'm not sure what the floor is made of, but It should be a rock and it would be dangerous to jump directly.”
So, Huang Hao tied a hemp rope around his waist and got in through the hole.
Xu Ning and other teammates were pulling the rope outside, listening to Huang Hao's instructions from inside: "Let it go, let it go, let it go again."
Just as Lin Ran expected, there was a height difference of about five meters. Huang Hao came to the end.
To facilitate his movement, he untied the hemp rope and shined a flashlight inside.
Just as Lin Ran said, behind the bronze door, there were indeed two stone pillars with two handles on them.
However, next to one of the handles, there was a skeleton sitting there!
The skeleton has obviously been weathered for a long time, holding the handle and leaning helplessly against the pillar.
Huang Hao's heart skipped a beat and he told his companions outside about the situation inside.
Then start pulling on the door handle.
After the two pull rings were pulled, the copper door made a creaking sound, which was obviously a mechanism moving.
However, it stopped after a while.
Huang Hao asked anxiously: "What's going on?"
"It must have been in disrepair and the mechanism failed." Lin Ran said, recalling the specific details in his mind, the door handle... "By the way, Brother Huang, is there a deadbolt behind the door?"
When he shined a flashlight on the back of the copper door, there was really a bolt, but he thought it was just a pattern.
Pulling the door bolt open, you can finally feel movement when someone outside pushes the copper door.
Everyone worked hard together, and with the shouts of three, two, one, the bronze door was finally pushed open!
Clang!
"You guys are here, I'm almost scared to death." Huang Hao stood beside the stone pillar with lingering fear.
After the door opened, and many flashlights shone in, they saw clearly that the ground at the door of the tomb was full of skeletons, which looked extremely weird!
