Tomb Keeper: My clone is the Mausoleum of the First Emperor

Chapter 180 The layout of the huge main tomb and its internal mechanisms have been changed, and the coffin is ready to be opened!
Upon noticing this, Wu Tianqi immediately became alert.

At the same time, take a cautious step back.

Use the light of a flashlight to find the source of the sound.

At this moment, Zhang Tianqi, who had been behind Wu Tianqi, pulled the corner of his clothes.

Wu Tianqi looked along her fingers and discovered that the vibrating sound came from the cliff in the distance.

When he saw clearly what was happening on the cliff, Wu Tianqi's pupils instantly turned into vertical pupils.

rumbling~
The vibrations became louder and louder, and the sound sounded like hundreds of war drums beating on the flat ground.

Along with the shaking sound, Wu Tianqi could clearly see that the towering cliff in the distance was shaking greatly.

It looked as if the area covering an area of ​​dozens of meters was about to collapse.

Boom!

At this moment, a huge crack suddenly opened on the cliff.

As the gravel rumbled to the ground, spider web-like cracks continued to spread from the cliff.

Immediately afterwards, a circular area opened up on the entire cliff like a thunder explosion, covering an area of ​​more than 40 meters.

Then it started to tilt down from the top and took a photo in the direction of the mountain pass where Wu Tianqi and the others were.

For a moment, everyone’s scalps were about to explode.

Without saying a word, Wu Tianqi grabbed Zhang Tianqi and rushed towards the mountain pass.

"Run!"

Everyone watching this scene was caught off guard.

When Wu Tianqi shouted this, everyone immediately reacted and rushed out.

The next moment, the cliff covering the interior of the valley had crashed to the ground.

Those rocks weighed countless tons, and the large area of ​​rocks hitting the ground caused the entire valley to shake.

Immediately afterwards, gravel flew everywhere.

A powerful wave of air mixed with gravel and smoke rushed directly into the mountain pass.

As soon as Wu Tianqi and others rushed out, they felt a strong force coming from behind.

His body flew forward two meters involuntarily, and then fell to the ground.

At this moment, the people in the Exploration Bureau witnessed this spectacular scene with their own eyes.

For a moment, everyone watching felt cold all over.

For a moment, Wu Tianqi reacted and stood up quickly, pulling Zhang Tianqi around to look for traces of everyone under the valley.

At this moment, a faint voice suddenly sounded from under the dust within ten meters of the mountain road.

Immediately afterwards, the gravel pressed against the soil gradually rose up.

The embarrassed figures of Zhang Tianhao and others climbed up from under the rubble one after another.

The air wave just now was too strong, and everyone was pushed away as soon as they rushed out.

But it is also a blessing in disguise.

None of them were hit directly by the rocks, but they were slightly hurt by the debris that was shot from all directions.

So, everyone first patted the dirt off their bodies, and then checked their injuries.

After confirming that there were no serious wounds, everyone let out a sigh of relief.

Wu Tianqi struggled to help Shan Dao stand up, and then said to Zhang Tianqi and others: "It seems that I guessed it right. The tomb keeper is indeed capable of restoring the abolished mechanism."

"If we had reacted slower just now, we might have been smashed into pulp."

"I estimate that the mechanisms inside the main tomb of the First Emperor's Mausoleum must have been restored, and are even more complicated than before."

"From now on, we must always be vigilant! Even if there are mechanisms we have seen before, we cannot understand them the same as before."

"Otherwise, it is very likely that you will be led into a trap by inertial thinking!"

Having said this, Wu Tianqi took a few deep breaths to expel the discomfort in his lungs.

Then he carefully walked out and motioned to Zhang Tianqi and others to follow him and said, "Okay, let's talk about it. Fortunately, we are not injured now."

"Now let's go over and take a look at the condition of the main tomb."

With that said, Wu Tianqi looked back at Zhang Tianqi.

The latter shook his head at Wu Tianqi and said that he was fine.

After receiving the answer, Wu Tianqi carefully avoided the rocks under his feet and walked out of the mountain pass.

As he walked forward, he was still paying attention to the gravel around him, and his brows gradually wrinkled.

The further you go, the bigger the rocks are under your feet.

This proves that the situation of mountain fragmentation is not optimistic.

Therefore, Wu Tianqi suppressed the shock in his heart and made full preparations.

When he arrived outside the mountain pass, he used the light of his flashlight to look at the cliff in the distance.

But when he saw the situation on the other side clearly, even though he had been mentally prepared before, he couldn't help but gasp in horror.

hiss!
Looking around, I saw that the cliffs in the distance that were originally so high that they could not see the sky had completely collapsed at some point.

As far as the eye can see, the cliff is full of interlaced cracks.

Directly opposite the mountain pass, a huge cave with a height of more than ten meters and a width of seven or eight meters was cracked in the cliff.

There are rocks several meters in diameter scattered under the cave, proving that these rocks have broken down from the mountain.

He never expected that the so-called tomb entrance would be so spectacular.

At this time, Zhang Tianqi also saw clearly the situation in front of him.

For a moment, her pupils were trembling.

After the shock has passed, what follows is the excitement of entering the main tomb.

But at this moment, Wu Tianqi and others were standing here. While they were excited, they were more worried about the danger inside the main tomb.

Thinking of the key point, Wu Tianqi and others carefully approached the direction of the cave. At the same time, Wu Tianqi was also thinking anxiously about the situation in front of him.

Although they have opened the entrance.

But judging from the danger level at this entrance, the main tomb won't be very safe.

While speaking, Wu Tianqi used his flashlight to shine a light on the pattern around the cave entrance.

After confirming that there was no danger around, he said in a deep voice: "Okay, everyone, get ready, let's enter the tomb!"

As he spoke, Wu Tianqi used a flashlight to illuminate the road ahead and carefully stepped into the cave entrance.

At this moment, look at the people in the Exploration Bureau.

It wasn't until they saw Wu Tianqi leading people in with their own eyes that the people in the exploration bureau recovered from the shock just now.

For a moment, everyone who was excited subconsciously held their breath for fear of disturbing Wu Tianqi's mind.

At the same time, Zhang Tianhao and others were also observing every change in the surroundings.

But the strange thing is that as they continue to move forward, the field of vision in front of everyone becomes wider and wider.

Although it is still unclear what is going on around him.

But judging from the openness of the field of view, it is actually wider than the valley outside?

So Wu Tianqi stopped and led everyone to wait patiently on the spot.

time passes by
As time gradually passed, everyone's pupils gradually adapted to the darkness around them.

So, Wu Tianqi began to use the light of a flashlight to look at the surrounding pattern.

Looking only with the bright light of the flashlight, everything as far as the eye can see is endless darkness.

Wu Tianqi turned the flashlight as bright as possible, and then he could see some bright cliffs in the darkness.

A strong flashlight can illuminate up to more than 20 meters, but the limit of light is a hundred meters away.

hiss!
For a moment, Wu Tianqi felt his heart twitching, and the sound of gasping for air suddenly sounded.

Then, he looked up at the top of the tomb, and his heart was instantly grasped.

Because the pattern above was very high, he couldn't see any reflection even if he shined a flashlight on it.

Everything as far as the eye could see was pitch black.

And in the center of the tomb, there was a vague bulge of unclear size.

It was a stone platform, which was previously suspected to be the location of Qin Shihuang's coffin.

"This!"

Suddenly, Wu Tianqi couldn't help but exclaimed.

Ying Zheng has hollowed out the entire Lishan Mountain!
This is a whole mountain.

It’s useless to watch this feeling in a video. You can only experience the spectacular feeling by standing here in person.

While thinking about it, everyone continued to move forward.

At the same time, everyone's eyes were fixed on the black bump in the center of the tomb.

When they got closer, Wu Tianqi shined a flashlight on it.

He suddenly discovered that it was indeed a stone platform, exactly the same as what they had seen in the video before.

The entire stone platform looks like it is made of a large piece of granite.

There are no grooves or traces of splicing of stone slabs on the surface.

But he didn't dare to act rashly now.

Although the previous video stated that this was the coffin, no one knew whether the tombkeeper had modified it.

Therefore, Wu Tianqi turned to everyone and nodded and said, "Split up and figure out the layout of the entire tomb as soon as possible."

"Be sure to be careful of the traps under your feet and don't get close to the cliff to avoid accidents."

After saying that, Wu Tianqi ignored everyone, turned his head and shined a flashlight on his feet, and walked slowly towards the cliff on the right.

After receiving Wu Tianqi's instructions, Zhang Tianqi and the others also took out the flashlights from their pockets, turned them on and headed towards the surrounding cliffs.

Then everyone split up and began to observe the layout of the tomb along the cliff.

The tomb under Lishan Mountain is too huge.

If you want to go through it completely, it will probably take a lot of time.

And, in this dark light, there is no telling what will happen if you get close to the cliff.

Therefore, everyone did not get too close to the rocks on the cliff. Instead, they walked to the outside more than 20 meters away and shined their flashlights on them.

At the same time, everyone slowly gathered along the circular tomb toward the center while observing the cliff and other locations.

But as everyone continued to move forward, Wu Tianqi's brows wrinkled unconsciously.

Because the further he walked, he suddenly found that the surrounding cliffs and the underside of the tombs became more and more empty.

After looking around, he found that the entire tomb was empty.

In addition to the surrounding cliffs and the towering top of the tomb, there are only huge rock blocks protruding from the cliffs nearly 100 meters apart.

There are six rock blocks in total, with a height of about three meters.

It looks like a hill inside a tomb.

But other than that, there was nothing in the entire tomb.

After everyone reunited, Wu Tianqi hurriedly asked: "Did you find anything?"

In response, everyone looked at each other and shook their heads with ugly expressions.

Seeing this scene, Wu Tianqi knew that everyone obviously found nothing.

Therefore, Wu Tianqi also sighed and said in a serious tone: "It seems that we still underestimated the tombkeeper. The current situation is very bad."

Wu Tianqi firmly believes that there must be some secret here, but they haven't revealed it yet.

But what surprised him was that even if there were no burial objects here, why couldn't he even find the mechanism?

Thinking of this, Wu Tianqi looked across Zhang Tianqi's shoulder to the square stone platform dozens of meters away.

Could it be that the tombkeeper didn't hide the coffin?

Is Qin Shihuang's coffin really still in the stone platform?

So Wu Tianqi opened the compass.

Then he stood still, pointed the compass at the stone platform in the distance, and began to make calculations.

Soon, the pointer on the compass gradually started to move.

But what happened next made people even more confused.

Because the pointer on the compass was oscillating greatly, with no intention of stopping.

Seeing this scene, the people from the Exploration Bureau and Zhang Tianqi all opened their mouths.

At this time, Zhang Tianqi couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then asked anxiously: "Brother Wu, what is going on?" Upon hearing the inquiry, Wu Tianqi frowned and said: "When a situation like this occurs in Compass, I expected it too.”

"Obviously, the cliffs and rock materials surrounding the tomb contain a large amount of magnetic ores, and the magnets affected the compass."

"I'm not sure now. Maybe Qin Shihuang's coffin is still the same stone platform."

"Okay, now let's go over and check it out."

Although the change in the compass cannot confirm that the stone platform is the coffin.

But it also undoubtedly proves that this is the main tomb.

So, full of doubts, Wu Tianqi stepped back towards the stone platform.

Everyone carefully came to the stone platform, and Wu Tianqi shined his flashlight over it again.

But this time he no longer glanced at them, but carefully observed the strange things on the stone platform.

I saw that this square stone platform was a perfect circle, with an area of ​​about four meters in diameter.

In addition, the height of this stone platform above the ground is about thirty centimeters.

You can't see it any further down.

Seeing this scene, Wu Tianqi carefully took out the family dagger.

Then he came to the edge of the stone platform and inserted the tip of the sword all the way down along the lower corner of the stone platform.

Crunch~crunch!

Along with the sound of rocks being cut, the family dagger gradually sank into the ground.

Seeing this scene, Wu Tianqi found something suspicious.

This rocky ground is very solid.

Without a strong strike, the sharpness of the family dagger would not have penetrated the ground.

But now the family dagger was inserted, which showed that the rocky ground below was not what it seemed.

In other words, there are gaps between the rocks on the ground and the stone platform.

Or perhaps, the stone platform is not only thirty centimeters thick as it appears on the surface, but has a larger part extending below the ground.

It’s just that you can’t see it right now.

How weird!
Upon discovering this doubt, Wu Tianqi's eyes suddenly lit up.

The abnormal thickness of the stone platform indicates that there may be a coffin hidden inside, or the coffin may be hidden under the stone platform.

Therefore, Wu Tianqi carefully handed the flashlight to Zhang Tianqi and motioned for her to illuminate the dagger inserted into the ground.

"It seems that this stone platform is exactly what I expected. There is something strange underneath."

"Look, the dagger is now at least more than a foot deep into the ground."

"I said before that the rocks here are all granite and are very hard, but this is not right."

"Granite is almost impossible to cut vertically without vigorous pounding."

"But now, the dagger penetrated easily, and I didn't hit it with stones."

"This shows that there is a gap between the rock on the ground and the stone platform, so the sword blade can be inserted."

Having said this, Wu Tianqi pointed to the gap below and continued: "In other words, there are currently two possibilities."

"Either the thickness of this stone platform is not the same as what we see. It is that there is more part of it buried in the rocky ground under my feet."

"Another possibility is that this stone platform is just a layer of stone slabs covering the ground."

"After we move out, there will most likely be a cellar down there."

At this moment, everyone present and the people in the exploration bureau were all staring at Wu Tianqi's dagger stuck on the ground.

After listening to his explanation, everyone understood what secret was hidden in it.

That's right.

These words convinced everyone.

As for how to open this stone platform.

Wu Tianqi had no intention of actually digging up this square stone platform.

Besides, if there is no cellar under the stone platform, all their efforts will be useless.

So Wu Tianqi did not rush to take action, but first took out the dagger with great effort.

Then he squatted down and used the light of the flashlight to carefully examine the gap just cut by the sword blade.

Under the flashlight, Wu Tianqi vaguely saw some signs of reflection on the sides of the rocks below.

Seeing this, Wu Tianqi knew that there was indeed no cellar under the rock.

In other words, it is another part of the stone platform, embedded in the ground.

Seeing this, Wu Tianqi swallowed and said, "It seems like what I just said, there is no cellar under this stone platform, but the lower part of the stone platform is embedded in the ground."

"However, if this is the case, it means that the abnormality should be the stone platform itself."

"In other words, this stone platform is just a storage vessel, with the universe inside."

Hearing Wu Tianqi's explanation, Zhang Tianqi frowned subconsciously.

She glanced at the huge stone platform and couldn't help but ask: "How to open it?"

Wu Tianqi stared at the stone platform, shook his head, and said seriously: "I guess there must be a mechanism on this stone platform, but it can't be seen with the naked eye."

"As long as you search patiently, you should be able to find it."

As he spoke, Wu Tianqi no longer hesitated.

He took the flashlight from Zhang Tianqi's hand and began to carefully observe the situation around the stone platform.

After confirming that there was no mechanism, he suddenly stepped forward lightly.

Wu Tianqi was not sure yet what was on the stone platform, so he moved very lightly.

He was almost squatting on his toes on the stone surface.

Then bite the flashlight with your teeth, press it on the rock surface with both hands and rub it carefully to feel the subtle changes on it.

The stone surface is very smooth, but Wu Tianqi's touch has become very keen after being strengthened several times by the system.

In addition, he checks very slowly, so he can definitely detect any changes on the stone platform.

really!

When he touched the center of the stone platform, Wu Tianqi suddenly felt something touch on his fingers.

So, he quickly stopped.

Then he leaned down and pointed his flashlight at the spot pointed by his finger.

For a moment, the atmosphere at the scene became very tense.

Even Zhang Tianhao subconsciously held his breath for fear of disturbing Wu Tianqi.

As the flashlight shone down, Wu Tianqi finally saw an indentation as fine as a hair where his finger touched.

It's almost impossible to find it with the naked eye.

If it weren't for the feel, even he wouldn't be able to detect it.

Seeing this scene, Wu Tianqi's eyes suddenly lit up.

Then with the help of the flashlight, I looked forward along this thin line.

Following the direction, Wu Tianqi once again saw the thin line going up all the way, and the thin line actually ran through the entire stone platform.

When it reaches the edge, it forms a right-angled chord and turns right.

By analogy, the entire western line runs through the entire stone platform.

The stone platform is cut from the center to form an internal rectangle.

It looks like a cover for something.

Cover?

Suddenly thinking of this, Wu Tianqi hurriedly lowered his head to take a look. Sure enough, the more he looked, the more they looked like each other.

If that is the case, the inside of this stone platform may be hollowed out.

What's in it?

For a moment, a crazy idea appeared in Wu Tianqi's mind, and it occupied his mind out of control.

Don't ask.

The most likely possibility is that the coffin in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor is actually this square stone platform.

Having guessed this suspicion, Wu Tianqi had a certain idea in his mind.

At this time, Zhang Tianqi saw Wu Tianqi's strange behavior and couldn't help asking anymore.

"Brother Wu, what did you find?"

Wu Tianqi glanced back at her subconsciously.

He didn't rush to explain, but waved her to come up.

After Zhang Tianqi came over, Wu Tianqi pointed to the gap where his right hand was pressing, and then he took a deep breath and explained: "Look at this thin line, I really expected it right."

"The interior of this stone platform may be hollowed out, and no matter how advanced the ancients' mechanical skills were, it would be impossible to implant objects into the stone platform out of thin air."

"It just so happened that I discovered this line."

"If you look closely, you will see that this thin line runs directly through the stone platform from left to right, forming a rectangular shape about one meter wide and two meters high."

"There is no doubt that this cuboid is actually separate from the stone platform as a whole."

"In addition, the light in this tomb is dim, so none of us noticed it before."

Having said this, Wu Tianqi paused and twisted the slender grooves with his hand.

"This thin line is almost as thin as a hair. If I hadn't felt it with my hands, I would have missed it."

While speaking, Wu Tianqi carefully inserted the family dagger along the gap on his finger.

At the same time, he looked around the stone platform, then turned to Zhang Tianqi and said: "Go over and light a candle in the southeast corner of the stone platform."

Qin Shihuang is the ninth emperor.

Therefore, the coffin must be facing south and facing north.

The big end of the stone slab under his feet was pointed straight ahead, so the front was the south and the right was the east.

Soon, Zhang Tianqi lit a candle in the front right corner of the stone platform.

As the candles were lit, Wu Tianqi took a deep breath and said, "Okay, now we have everything ready to officially open the coffin."

After saying that, Wu Tianqi held the hilt of the sword with both hands, and then pushed it forward along the gap.

Pushing the sword blade slowly opened the gap, and some white powder was pushed out of the gap.

Wu Tianqi took the time to twist some with his hands, put it between his nose and took a deep breath.

Suddenly, a unique smell penetrated into my heart.

It smells sour.

Upon hearing this, Wu Tianqi continued his movements and analyzed it at the same time.

"Looks like I guessed right."

While talking, Wu Tianqi had already opened the lid.

Then he used the family dagger as a lever and pried it up hard.

crunch~
The lid of the rock coffin was pried up, and at the same time, with Wu Tianqi's force, the lid also flipped over.

Boom!

As the coffin lid hit the ground, a strong sour smell suddenly spewed out from the coffin.

Wu Tianqi immediately became alert and hurriedly avoided the wind with everyone else.

Although I don’t know what the strong sour smell is, it is definitely not simple to appear in the coffin of the First Emperor’s Mausoleum.

As a result, everyone immediately turned around, holding their breath and turning their heads to the side of the wind outlet.

Call ~
The gas that leaked out after the coffin lid was opened blows towards the edge of the stone platform.

Wu Tianqi looked closely and found that the candles on the edge of the stone platform suddenly became much brighter after the breeze blew.

At the same time, there was a crackling sound from the flames.

rosin?

Seeing this scene, Wu Tianqi's pupils suddenly shrank.

There are many substances that can cause a fire to explode in a short period of time.

But if it was in a tomb, the first thing he thought of was rosin.

Because rosin, in addition to keeping dry, has better antiseptic properties than cinnabar.
