Chapter 67: There is a cave in a critical juncture
"Liu Yue\Tang Feng" When Tang Nei called Liu Yue, Liu Yue also called him. Tang Feng said to Liu Yue: "You talk first.{p-a-o-s-h-u-8.c-o-M)" When he was supposed to shout that I love you, Liu Yue said: "It seems that the water has stopped."
The water in the mechanism is stored for nearly a thousand years, and it will definitely evaporate. It is normal that the amount of water is less than the entire space, but the crisis has not been resolved. There is not much air left in the space, let alone the oxygen for people to breathe. Tang Feng felt that his head was getting heavier and his brain had begun to lack oxygen.
At this time, the mutation regenerated, and the two people were constantly thorning in their ears close to the stone wall.
The sound is that the dead pig is not afraid of boiling water. Anyway, it is already in a desperate situation, so it doesn’t matter what mechanism it will happen. Miracles often happen in an instant. Suddenly, with a thud, the stone wall on the other side of the stone slab disappeared out of thin air. The two of them were like falling into a waterfall, falling to the ground with the water flowing.
Tang Feng rolled on the ground several times before barely standing up. Liu Yue fell further. Tang Feng walked to Liu Yue and pulled her up, asking, "Are you okay?"
"That's great." Liu Yue said: "We are saved."
Tang Feng walked to the place where the stone wall suddenly disappeared just now. He looked at the ground. It was a stone slab that was half thick. Now, the whole stone slab has fallen into the ground, just parallel to the ground. Liu Yue looked at the thick stone slab and asked Tang Feng, "What's going on?"
"This should be a chain mechanism. Releasing water is not to kill people, but to open the second mechanism."
Tang Feng asked Liu Yue: "By the way, have you touched any place before the stone was pulled down?"
Liu Yue shook her head and said, "No." Tang Feng thought for a while, the mechanism should be at the foot of their position just now. Liu Yue triggered the first mechanism. The stone slab behind him suddenly fell to the entire space. The water pressure later triggered the second mechanism. When the water pressure was sufficient, the stone slab on the other side fell into the ground. This is an extremely complex mechanism. The designer's purpose is not to hurt people, but to isolate the space and hide the buildings under the underground palace, which also confirms Tang Feng's previous judgment.
Tang Feng turned around and looked at the other end. This was another tomb passage extending downward. Tang Feng took out the flashlight from his backpack. The flashlights used by archaeologists were waterproof and could still be used after being soaked. The flashlights lit up, and the hideous monsters on the stone walls on both sides could be vaguely distinguished. Liu Yue asked Tang Feng: "What should I do now?"
Tang Feng said: "There are still many unsolved mysteries here. Liu Yue, are you willing to take risks together?" This tomb passage is indeed very strange. Tang Feng cannot explain many things. For example, why is this closed space different from outside? The air here is very fresh and there is a lot of oxygen. Where does this oxygen come from?
Liu Yue smiled and nodded and said, "Anyway, this life is picked up. Is there any way out to retreat? It's better to go all the way forward."
Perhaps because Song Huizong himself was not buried here, except for the traps on the ground, no mechanism was found in the entire underground palace for the purpose of killing the invaders. Perhaps, the people who closed the imperial tomb at that time were still thinking about restoring the Central Plains.
Although neither of them thought there were mechanisms in the tomb passage, they were very careful when walking. Tang Feng even turned around three times, and the hammer in his hand kept knocking on the ground.
The two people in the tomb passage had already slid into the concept of time. I don’t know how long it took, but they arrived at the end of the tomb passage. Tang Feng roughly estimated that the length of the tomb passage was about 150 meters, and it had already extended seventy or eighty meters downward. Liu Yue asked Tang Feng: "This place should be lower than the level of the deep pool. I am very surprised, how did they solve the problem of water seepage?"
Tang Feng said: "There is only one explanation, the rock formation between the underground palace and the deep pool is impermeable."
At this time, another tomb door appeared in front of them. Tang Feng knocked on it. This tomb door is different from the previous tomb door. It was a wooden tomb door. Liu Yue said: "Tang Feng, look at the words here."
The wooden tomb door is painted on it, all of which are unheard of monsters in modern times. There is a row of large seal characters directly above the tomb door. The seal characters are definitely not as difficult as Tang Feng and Liu Yue, but the content of the characters is somewhat terrifying, and there are five characters written on it - those who are good at entering will die!
There were many ways for the ancients to fight tomb robbing, most of which were real tricks. Carving mantras on the tomb door were more like a bluffing trick, which was to psychologically deter the tomb robbers.
The ancient tomb mantra is magical and famous. The most famous one is the tomb of the ancient Egyptian pharaoh Tudangkarmen. The content at the end of the tomb passage is very fantastic, and the writing style of this sentence is also good. The content is - whoever disturbs the peace of the pharaoh, the wings of the god of death will come to him. The tomb of Tudangkarmen is not famous because of this spell, but because of the story that happened later, the archaeologists involved in the excavation eventually died of a life of desperation.
Tang Feng looked at Liu Yue and asked, "What do you think about Liu Yue?"
After escaping from death, Liu Yue became much more courageous. She said, "No need to ask, it must be a lie."
Of course, the tomb robbers would not believe these nonsense. Tang Feng said, "Then open it and take a look." After he finished speaking, he reached out and pushed the tomb door.
Strangely, the tomb door was not sealed, but was just a false cover, and Tang Feng just pushed it lightly.
The tomb door opened with a squeak, and the situation behind the tomb door made the two of them stunned.
Liu Yue said in surprise: "How is this possible?"
"Magic, it's really amazing." What Tang Feng never dreamed of was that there would be light in the tomb chamber. This was not the most critical. The most critical thing was that the light came in from the water surface. Many things cannot be described in words. The water surface we usually see is horizontal, which is parallel, and the inclination of the horizontal surface in the tomb chamber is close to vertical, and it is standing water.
This three-dimensional water is in the circular hole on the front of the tomb chamber, and the light also comes out from the circular hole. What is even more unimaginable is that there are water plants floating with the water flow in the circular hole, and live fish swimming can be vaguely seen in the aquatic grass. In other words, except for the vertical water surface, the water in the circular hole is exactly the same as the water we usually see. Now, the problem arises, why hasn't this water flowed out?
"I understand!" Liu Yue suddenly realized and said, "There is oxygen here because of the aquatic plants in the water. Because this is a closed space, the air cannot be discharged, and the air pressure blocks the water outside." This principle is like putting a bottle directly into the water. As long as there is air inside, the water cannot enter. This tomb chamber is a huge bottle.
Tang Feng also understood why the second mechanism media must be water? Because the designer needs to completely enclose the space. Once the air overflows from the other end, the water on this side will gush out. In order to prevent such a thing, the mechanism must wait until the narrow space is filled with water before it will be opened. If there is a gap in the stone slab on the other end, it will leak, the space will never be filled, and the stone slab on the other side will not be opened.
From this we can see that the saying "those who are good at entering the world die" is not unreasonable. If the stone door that is isolated from the air is forced to open, the consequences will be unimaginable. The designer Li Cheng is worthy of being the founder of engineering design. His design is not the last, but it is definitely unprecedented.
Liu Yue walked to the water wings and asked Tang Feng softly: "If I enter the water now, what would it be?"
Tang Feng immediately said, "Don't try it, maybe you will be swept away by the water flow." This matter is too complicated, and no one knows what the consequences will be.
Liu Yue asked Tang Feng again: "I can't figure out one thing. When building this place, what method did Li Cheng use to prevent the water from pouring in."
The vertical water surface completely attracted the attention of the two people. Tang Feng almost forgot his business. Fortunately, he was still flowing along the tomb robber's blood. He quickly put aside these unexplainable things and started to hunt for treasures. The entire tomb room area is about the size of a blue court, and the overall feeling is more like a park, with countless rockery stones. Perhaps the "Flower Stone Gang" that Song Huizong, which lasted for more than 20 years, is not unrelated to this tomb room. What disappoints Tang Feng was that there were no rare treasures in the tomb room. Song Huizong, the emperor who advocated collection, did not put his collection into the tomb room. Tang Feng began to hate the Jin soldiers. If they invaded the Northern Song Dynasty a few years later, everything would be different.
At this time, Tang Feng fell in love with the mural located at a corner of the tomb. The mural used painting techniques to draw a snow mountain climbing into the clouds. The proportion of the mural was completely out of tune. Judging from the rivers on both sides of the snowy mountain, it was more like a map.
On the right side of the snow-capped mountains, there are two rivers marked with thick marks, which are easy to distinguish from the curve. These should be the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, because the far end of the mural is the sea. From ancient times to the present, there are two rivers in China that flow into the sea from the snow-capped mountains, that is, the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. The river above is in the shape of a "ji" and the river below is bowstring.
On the left side of the snow mountain, there is a hill that is much lower than the snow mountain. There is a row of black regular characters next to the hill. Since the font has not been carved in seals, it is just ordinary handwritten brush characters. The time is too far away and the handwriting has been mottled and blurred. Tang Feng only vaguely saw the nine words "Zu Jianshengwang Temple Collection of Ancient and Modern Times". Of course, although the words in the middle cannot be seen, the gap can be seen. You can still see the first half of the sentence, and there are only three characters left in the second half - "Fur Ear." There is a punctuation at the ear character, indicating that the sentence has been written, and it is unknown what the first few spaces are.
Tang Feng stared at the mural for a long time but couldn't see anything. Suddenly, a piece of yellowed paper on the ground fell into Tang Feng's eyes. He picked up the piece of paper and looked at it. This was a fragment of an engineering drawing, and Tang Feng understood it at a glance.
"Tang Feng, what am I asking you? You said, what did he do to prevent the water from pouring in?" Liu Yue from there saw that Tang Feng was not speaking and walked over and asked.
Tang Feng was about to speak, but suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew in the tomb.
"Tang Feng, look!" Liu Yue pointed to the water in the round cave and said to Tang Feng: "The water is surging forward."
Tang Feng knew what was going on at once, and someone was opening the stone door that was isolated from the air! He immediately shouted loudly: "Liu Yue, run quickly!"
