"Oh? What's your magic trick? Tell me quickly!"

Cao Chun was delighted when he heard this and asked quickly.

The rest of the people also looked at Wu Liang expectantly, waiting for him to show his "wonderful method".

Facing everyone's gaze, Wu Liang did not immediately answer Cao Zhen's question. He just smiled indifferently and waved to a soldier standing guard behind him holding a ChangGe: "Brother, please lend me your ChangGe."

"this……"

The soldier looked suspicious. Weapons are not something that can be borrowed casually, so he immediately looked at Cao Zhen questioningly. Seeing that Cao Zhen nodded in agreement, he finally handed over the Chang Ge.

"Thank you."

Wu Liang nodded, took the Chang Ge and gestured towards the gap between the two stone doors, and then inserted it along the gap.

Such a long gore penetrated about one meter in length, and suddenly there was a crisp sound, as if it had hit something hard.

"It's indeed a natural stone!"

Wu Liang's eyes lit up and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"Rapstone" top door was a relatively conventional anti-theft method in ancient times.

The principle of this thing is actually very simple: first dig a groove on the ground inside the door and on the door. When the two doors are closed, lean the stone pillar standing in the groove on the ground behind the door. After people walk out, the stone pillar will

As the stone door is closed, it slowly tilts. When the stone door is completely closed, the stone pillar slowly slides into the groove carved between the two doors, so that the stone door is completely blocked.

If you want to open the stone door, you need to use the secret of the ancient mausoleum builders - the nail key.

This thing sounds very mysterious, but it is actually just a metal bar with the top bent into half a "mouth", which looks like a bottomless spoon with half of its edge missing.

When using it, stand up half of the "mouth" of the key and slowly insert it along the door crack. After touching the tap stone, turn the "mouth" sideways to cover the upper end of the tap stone. In this way, according to the lever principle

Under the action of the stone, only one person can push the stone upright. Without the stone top door, the stone door with the door shaft will naturally open with one push.

It's just that in ancient times, in order to keep the secrets of royal tombs, there was a tradition of silencing the craftsmen who built the tombs after they were completed. Most people had no way of knowing the mechanism behind the door, and naturally very few people knew about the nail key that can break tap stones.

Therefore, it was not until 1955 when the Dingling Tomb of the Ming Dynasty was excavated that an archaeologist discovered this thing from an extremely obscure historical data.

Nowadays, in the wilderness, it is obviously unrealistic for Wu Liang to make a decent nail key. However, the Chang Ge with a "T" shape on the front end is somewhat similar to the nail key, so it can be regarded as a good one.

A good replacement.

"how?"

Hearing the crisp sound and seeing Wu Liang in high spirits, Cao Zhen hurriedly came over to ask.

"Marquis, please be patient and calm."

Wu Liang smiled, slowly moved the Chang Ge sideways to hold the tappet, and then gradually moved it upwards, until he gradually used some strength until the upper end of the tappet.

"Crack!"

The sound of rocks rubbing against each other was immediately heard from inside.

There is movement!

Cao Zhen and others held their breath for a moment and quietly watched Wu Liang's manipulation.

I saw the Changge in his hand gradually extending inwards, as if he was pushing something, until the wooden handle at the rear end of the Changge was almost completely submerged in the crack of the door.

"Boom!"

Suddenly there was another sound from inside the door.

Cao Zhen and others were startled and took two steps back.

At this time, Wu Liang breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and said to Cao Chen with a smile: "Marquis, you can order someone to open the door now."

"push?"

Cao Zhen was stunned.

Now he still hasn't figured out what Wu Liang did, so he doesn't quite understand what Wu Liang's so-called "opening the door" means.

"push."

Wu Liang nodded.

Upon hearing this, Cao Chen still looked puzzled.

This stone door weighs ten thousand kilograms. It didn't move even when I pushed it just now. Can it be pushed open now?

However, seeing Wu Liang's affirmative expression, Cao Zhen still followed the instructions and called the rest of the soldiers over, dividing them into two groups to push the two stone doors.

"open!"

At the command, the two groups worked together.

"Boom boom boom..."

Accompanied by the roar of the thick door shaft, the ten-thousand-pound stone door suddenly burst open.

Waves of mist rose up from inside the door, and the echoes passed through the mist and echoed in the deep and dark tomb passage. It was so touching and soul-stirring.

What followed was a heat wave exuding a strong musty smell, as if an ancient giant beast suddenly opened its mouth of the abyss and wanted to swallow everything, forcing everyone to take a few steps back before finally regaining their balance.

shape.

But this heat wave comes and goes just as quickly.

With just one breath, everything returned to calm.

It was only then that Cao Zhen and others finally realized what was happening. Their faces were immediately filled with ecstatic smiles, and they hugged each other like children and cheered: "It's open! The door is open!"

This is joy from the heart.

It has been more than a month since the Hu army came to Dangshan. Due to lack of experience, the excavation work has not been very smooth, and they have done a lot of thankless and useless work. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to dig out the tomb door until last night.

Therefore, the accumulated fatigue and depression were not only felt by Cao Cao, but also by his subordinate soldiers.

Tonight finally went so smoothly, so it naturally became an outlet for negative emotions.

Wu Liang did not disturb them, but turned around to take out the pheasant from the bamboo cage, and then tied the rope that Cao Chen had prepared in advance to the pheasant's feet.

"Wu Liang, what should we do next?"

Cao Zhen was the first to calm down. When he saw Wu Liang playing with the pheasant, he came over expectantly and asked.

"Marquis, please be patient. We will enter the tomb in two hours."

Wu Liang said calmly.

"Two hours? Since the door has been opened, why not do it in one go?"

Cao Zhen seemed to have been poured cold water on him and said in confusion.

The other soldiers also had the expression "I've taken off my pants, just show me this".

"The military commander didn't know something. The tomb has been underground for a long time, and the yin energy has been accumulating. Over time, evil spirits will arise. If you enter the tomb rashly, something unexpected may happen."

Wu Liang picked up the tied pheasant and then said nonsense, "Although the human eye cannot see the evil, pheasants can detect it, so we need to put the pheasant into the tomb first and let it check it out."

Make a decision to avoid risking the lives of the military commander and other soldiers for no reason."

To put it bluntly, he actually wanted to let the pheasant in to explore whether there was poisonous gas in the tomb and the oxygen content in the air, and also use this time to ventilate the tomb.

It's just that I didn't tell Cao about the theory of air before, so now I don't need to learn about the real purpose of pheasants.

However, the theory of evil spirits is not entirely unfounded.

When I was in school, some professional tutors with rich archeology experience told some unknown anecdotes.

Although those archaeological reports made public have never mentioned any non-scientific events.

But this does not mean that those supernatural events do not exist. There are even some supernatural events that cannot be explained by the scientific knowledge of the 21st century. They still need to be solved with the help of ancient methods that are only recorded in fragments in folklore and historical documents.

Therefore, archeology and tomb robbing are not just about mastering scientific methods, sometimes you have to believe in evil...

"So that's what you said, but what should we do now?"

After listening to Wu Liang's words, Cao Zhen no longer wanted to "do it all in one go".

"You only need to leave a few people to guard the tomb gate and not let the wild pheasants escape. The remaining people can go out and rest first."
