Tomb Raider Gu Tomb Miscellaneous Notes

Chapter 13 The Story of the Bottle and the Censer

According to the general regulations of ancient tombs, the sealing soil should be placed under the tombstone. The larger the tomb, the thicker the sealing soil. The thickness of the sealing soil of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum is estimated to be more than [-] meters.I don't know how thick the soil of the tomb is, but we walked for about ten minutes to the exit of the cave.

This hole is like a funnel inclined at an angle of 45 degrees, with a large opening at the top and a small exit at the bottom. In the end, I almost shrunk my body and slid down.

The air quality in the cemetery was terrible, and I was coughing so much that my lungs hurt from coughing.

Looking up at the entrance of the cave, I asked, "Is this also the robbery cave you dug a month ago?"

"No." Zhang Rui said, "This tomb has been robbed before. This burglary hole already existed when we came here, and it should have been there for many years."

"You still come to the stolen tomb?"

Zhang Rui didn't answer me, and followed Comrade Cenxiang Lu into the darkness ahead.

Looking up at the entrance of the cave in a posture similar to mine, the man in the white coat sighed: "My dear friend who dug this robbery cave is very difficult."

"How to say?"

"Didn't I just say that when we came, the tombstone was still there, although there were traces of being passive. It means that the person who dug the hole also had such a tombstone when he came. Situation." The white coat changed his tone and continued, "Many large mausoleums may contain a layer of quicksand in the sealing soil layer. If you don't know it in advance, half of the people who dug the robbery hole may be buried by quicksand. Look at this robbery cave. Almost straight and slanted down, digging all the way to the ceiling of the tomb, clean and neat, it shows that this guy knew in advance that the bottom is the real rammed earth."

"I see."

I think what the white coat said makes sense, and I have seen such records, but I am not an expert and cannot understand the profound meaning in it.

The white coat looked at me, the veins on the head popped up, and pushed me: "Why do you have so many questions! Go quickly! If you are slow, you will be separated from them. If something happens to us, we will be buried together later. How dignified it is for people to dig it out!"

As he spoke, he pushed me forward, which saved me a lot of energy.

The structure of the underground tomb palace is basically composed of tomb chambers and tomb passages, and the more complicated the arrangement of the tomb passages, the larger the scale of the underground palace.

The white coat said that they guessed that the ancient tomb was roughly in the shape of "Ya". I asked him how he deduced it.

I also remembered some information I read on Baidu before. The general princes and kings can't reach this level, and those with more than four tomb passages are already emperor-level mausoleums.

Is it true that Zhu Yunqi is buried here?

A straight forward corridor quickly came to the end, and there was no way ahead.

I froze for a moment, wondering if Zhang Rui would lead me the wrong way?Looking again, both the white coat and the turf head are fumbling on the wall.

The white coat said impatiently: "Fuck you, this side has shifted again!"

Turfhead shouted: "Found it! But it's on the top piece!"

I heard that they might be looking for an agency.This method of using brick walls to conceal organs is very common in ancient organ arts, and it is often more mysterious than those written in martial arts novels.

The location of some brick walls can be based on certain principles. During construction, the gap between the brick joints is accurately calculated to leave a part of the hidden space, and then the bricks can be shifted to change the original arrangement and become unrecognizable. , like a Rubik's Cube.

I turned on the flashlight and looked at the wall. Unexpectedly, there are patterns on the tomb bricks here. This kind of pattern brick is the style of the Qin Dynasty. The so-called "Qin brick and Han tile" refers to this kind of patterned brick. Terracotta bricks, rather than engravings carved on later.

I'm confused again, is this the tomb of the Ming Dynasty or the tomb of the Qin Dynasty?

Zhang Rui looked over.

He is polite, but he doesn't know where the sense of majesty comes from.I quickly turned off the flashlight.

Zhang Rui walked under the turf head's fingers, and at this moment looked back at the incense burner again, as inquiring as before.

The incense burner nodded.Afterwards, Zhang Rui said to Cao Pitou, "Give me the knife."

Cao Pitou looked helpless, and handed over the Damascus knife he had used earlier to Zhang Rui.Zhang Rui bit the handle of the knife with his mouth, held up the flashlight with one hand, and groped on the wall with the other.

I was curious again, and asked what the white coat was touching.

The white coat whispered: "Here are all hollow bricks, but some bricks are filled with liquid mercury, so don't prick them randomly, otherwise the stuff inside will flow out, and we will be in bad luck! We suffered a lot last time, you see."

He turned around and pointed towards the darkness behind us. I vaguely saw some things piled up there, and my mind froze. I suddenly realized what it was, and I couldn't help shivering from the chill on my neck.

At this moment, Zhang Rui squinted his eyes and stared at a certain place on the brick wall, with a faint smile on his lips, he drew his knife and stabbed hard into the crack of the brick, one-third of the blade of the knife sank into the crack of the brick.

Zhang Xiaoge is born like a jade tree facing the wind, but his strength is as strong as an ox.The old man stared blankly.

Then, holding the handle of the knife in one hand, he did one-handed pull-ups, kicked his feet on the wall twice, jumped up three meters, and then smashed down the topmost brick with the end of the flashlight!

There was a rumbling sound in the tomb. Zhang Rui jumped down and took a flashlight to shine it. We saw an opening on the left side of the corridor. As the stone gate moved, the opening gradually expanded.

After a while, the rumbling sound gradually quieted down, and a tomb appeared at the end of the corridor.

The incense burner walked into the tomb, and we all followed, but Caopitou shouted from behind: "Xiao Zhang, you have to help me pull out the knife!"

The sod head held the handle of the knife with both hands and pulled it out twice, but the knife did not move at all.Zhang Rui walked back, pulled out the knife with one hand, and returned it to Sopitou: "Sorry, I forgot."

Cao Pitou clicked his tongue twice, shook his head and sighed: "What is wrong with your Zhang family, you are such a freak, no wonder the old man doesn't want to see you, you just don't know how to make people happy. Alas, my knife is from last year. Hey, it was found out of a warlord’s tomb, look, it was ruined by you!” As he said, he wiped the knife surface with great distress.

Zhang Rui ignored him, and I slowly discovered that although he seemed gentle and polite on the surface, sometimes he seemed extremely cold.And I also heard that he is also a person with a story, and the background seems to be not simple.

In this way, the incense burner is in the tomb, and the four of us are outside, separated from him by a certain distance.

The four of us were about to walk into the tomb, but the incense burner suddenly waved his hand to signal us to stop.

We froze in place, with the incense burner facing away from us, and the flashlight in Zhang Rui's hand was all focused on his back, so we couldn't see what was in front of him.

And he suddenly said in a low voice: "Tug oil bottle, come here."

Entering this ancient tomb from the outside, there was no sound from the incense burner during the period. Zhang Rui asked him what, but he just nodded or shook his head.Now that he suddenly spoke, I was a little surprised.

What's even more surprising is that he still said the same sentence.

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then both the white coat and the turf head looked at me. I curled my lips in embarrassment, and suddenly felt my face burn.

"It doesn't have to be me."

I still want to save a little face, but the incense burner turned around at this moment, and turned its eyes straight to my side.He looked over with dark eyes, which made my heart feel cold.

This time I can experience the feeling of being determined to death by someone's eyes.

I scratched my face and felt hot, and walked towards the incense burner uncomfortably under the gaze of the other three.

I don't know if it's because I'm born with a keen intuition, but I always feel that the gaze of the incense burner seems weird...
