Chapter 60 - The Lost Tomb Chapter 32: Qimen Shield Armor

The huge figure was almost the same height as the stone tablet. It had a head and neck, just like a human. However, the posture he was standing in was hunched over, which was so strange that it made people shudder. Wen Jin was sweating. They were standing at the junction of the stone steps and the bottom of the pool, only five steps away from the giant. It was not too long or too short, and it was very embarrassing. The bottom of the pool was foggy, and all the lighting depended on a few low-power flashlights. For a while, it was impossible to see whether this thing was a human or a ghost. There were so many people here just now, and they had searched inside and out. There was nothing else at the bottom of the pool 10 meters away, except for the four Dinghai stone monkeys in the center and a stone tablet without words. When did this huge "man" appear? No one knew. And this damn Zhang Qiling didn't seem to notice it at all. He was still staring at the stone tablet intently, and I didn't know what he was studying. Wen Jin gritted her teeth in hatred for him, but she was the person in charge and couldn't just leave him alone. She had no idea what to do, so she had to tell the people behind her not to move. After five or six minutes, the giant was still hiding behind the mist, as if he had no intention of taking any action. At this time, Huo Ling couldn't help it anymore and whispered, "Xiao Zhang, what are you doing squatting here? Come to us quickly." Wen Jin was frightened and tried to stop her. Zhang Qiling was too close to this thing. Once the situation changed, it would be difficult to escape in two steps. The best way was to maintain the status quo for the time being. Wen Jin quickly analyzed the situation. Although there were many dangerous things in the ancient tomb, as long as you knew what you were encountering, you would naturally have a way to deal with it. The only thing to worry about was that if you were in danger but didn't have a clue, you would often die inexplicably. Wen Jin made a brief analysis and felt that there could not be any zongzi in this place, because the location of this ancient tomb was very good. The Xisha Islands had been seldom disturbed by human beings for hundreds of years. Several circular islands and reefs were dotted on the sea surface, but they were connected under the sea, forming a continuous sealand mountain and river. The mountain and river were hidden under the sea, gathering wind and nourishing qi. There was a dragon head in the east and a dragon tail in the west. It was a very rare underwater dragon vein. The dragon was first water and then flew to the sky, so the water dragon was slightly higher than the mountain dragon in Feng Shui. In such a place, if there was a coffin, it must be an official and a rich man, especially if the ancient tomb really buried Wang Canghai. Judging from his name, this person must be lacking water in the five elements. In this way, it would complement each other in the sea tomb. It can be said that the so-called harmony between heaven, earth and man in Feng Shui is fully occupied. So unless the Feng Shui books are all nonsense, there will definitely be no zongzi here. Wen Jin thought of this and felt relieved. Since it was not a zombie, it must be a human or an animal. As long as it was a living thing, there were so many people here. Not to mention that you are two meters tall, even if you are three meters tall, we can still take you down. At this time, one of the boys said, "Wen Jin, I don't think it's right. I remember that there should be the stone monkey at that position. Could it be that something is standing on the stone monkey?" Wen Jin's heart moved. She suddenly thought that it might be that Uncle San woke up and found that they were not there, so he came here to find them. This person was not very serious. He might blame them for not obeying his orders, so he hid behind the fog and climbed up the stone monkey to scare them. If this was the case, it would be too abominable. Wen Jin thought of this and felt that this was the most likely explanation. Thinking of this, she shouted to the shadow, "Wu Sansheng! Stop playing! Get down quickly!" If the other party was really Uncle San, he would know that he had exposed himself after such a roar, so there was no need to continue to hold on. Uncle San was an open-minded person. He would just laugh at such a small matter and would never mind. Who knew that before he finished speaking, the shadow suddenly stretched out a hand and waved it at them, as if to tell them not to speak! Wen Jin looked at his figure and saw that the length of his hand was disproportionate to his height. It turned out that someone was standing on the stone monkey. Without thinking, she concluded that it was Uncle San . She stamped her feet in anger, ran up quickly, jumped onto the stone monkey, and pulled his ears. This was her last trick to deal with Uncle San, because they had agreed never to quarrel . As long as Wen Jin was extremely angry, she could pull Uncle San's ears to let him know that she was very angry. Generally, when encountering such a situation, even if Uncle San had the courage of a leopard, he would not dare to be presumptuous again. It was said to be late, but it was fast. As soon as she jumped onto the stone monkey and had no time to do anything, the person on the stone monkey hugged her, covered her mouth with one hand, and whispered: "I am Xiao Zhang! Don't talk! Look down for yourself!" Wen Jin was already furious, but when she heard the voice, she was stunned. This was really Zhang Qiling's voice! How could he stand on the stone monkey? She thought about it and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. That's not right! ! If that's the case, then who is squatting in front of the stone tablet? She immediately recalled the scene just now. At that time, she only saw a person squatting in front of the stone tablet with a flashlight in his hand. Among so many people, only Zhang Qiling was missing, so she immediately made a judgment. Could it be a preconceived mistake? Thinking of this, she immediately leaned out to look. She was stunned when she saw it. She saw that the person squatting in front of the tablet was wearing the same diving suit as them. Judging from his body shape, it was none other than Uncle San! And Uncle San was a little bit wrong. Wen Jin didn't understand what he was doing at first. After a closer look, she found that he was actually combing his hair in front of the smooth stone tablet that was like a mirror. What made people feel creepy was that his shy movements were clearly something that only women would do. Uncle San combed his hair for a while, turned his face again, and looked carefully at himself in the stone mirror, like a girl who had not yet left the boudoir and finished dressing up, and finally looked at the effect. The Third Uncle's face in the stone mirror seemed to be smiling, but it looked spooky and indescribably strange. If it were any other time, this scene would definitely be funny, but now, Wen Jin felt her hands and feet go cold, and she didn't even dare to breathe. The people below saw the two people on the stone monkey hugging each other, motionless, and thought it was really the Third Uncle pretending to be a ghost to scare people, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Huo Ling was worried about Zhang Qiling, so she suddenly ran to the back of the man in front of the stone tablet, patted his shoulder, and said, "Xiao Zhang, what are you doing here?" This was really beyond everyone's expectations. Zhang Qiling secretly cried out "Oh no!" It was too late to stop him. The man in front of the stone tablet suddenly stood up, which scared Huo Ling and made her scream. However, she immediately found that it was Uncle San who was standing in front of her. She turned from being scared to anger and cursed, "Wu Sansheng, it's you! Why don't you go to sleep and squat here?" Uncle San saw Huo Ling and suddenly covered his face with his hands, screamed, pushed her hard, pushed her to the ground, and then turned around and ran away. Zhang Qiling saw that something was wrong and immediately jumped off the stone monkey to chase after him. His speed was very fast, but when he passed Huo Ling, he stopped for a while to see if she was injured. This time, he ruined the whole thing. When Huo Ling saw Zhang Qiling saw her fall to the ground, he rushed over, thinking that he was concerned about her, and her heart was warmed, and she actually went to hug him. Zhang Qiling couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The delay of a few seconds was enough to make him lose all the advantages. He rolled over from under her arms. When he looked at his uncle again, he had already run into the thick fog. Judging from his shadow, he had almost run to the edge of the pool wall. Zhang Qiling shouted, "Watch the stone steps! Don't let him go up!" Then he chased after him. At this time, he vaguely saw that his uncle in front of him suddenly turned sideways, and in an instant, he seemed to have passed through the wall. However, the fog was too thick, and he couldn't see what happened at all. Zhang Qiling chased to the edge of the pool wall. There was no one to chase, so he had to brake and stop. He didn't believe that his uncle had gotten into the wall. Although he was not the kind of old-fashioned person who talked about materialism in everything, such a scene was too incredible, and there must be something strange in it. He stayed for a moment, and immediately touched the stone wall with his hand. However, the stone wall was real. Zhang Qiling didn't believe that there was such a thing as the art of passing through walls in this world. He stretched out two long fingers and stuck them to the stone wall. In an instant, his extremely sensitive fingers immediately felt that the stone wall was actually rotating very slowly! His mind immediately buzzed, it was over! He didn't realize that this pool was actually a huge mechanism! He suddenly felt very emotional. This was simply a miracle of ancient engineering. His so-called experience was as naive as a child in front of the tomb owner. But what was the purpose of this mechanism? In the few minutes they came down, it seemed that the entire bottom of the pool had not changed at all! This damn Wang Canghai, he wouldn't just want to build a revolving restaurant in his tomb. Zhang Qiling was not unfamiliar with the principle of the mechanism. In his own words, he knew more about the trap mechanism of ancient Chinese tombs than anyone else in the world (original words). He knew the working principle, origin, shortcomings, and even the name of the inventor of the mechanism very well. According to his experience, this mechanism must be operated by the simplest principle. Because he knew that the so-called clever spring mechanism, wooden bow and hidden crossbow, no matter how good the materials are, after hundreds of years or thousands of years, the fuse used to fire it has rotted and cannot be used. What can stop tomb robbers is often the simplest anti-theft sand layer outside the tomb wall (after the tomb robbers dig to the sand layer, a large amount of quicksand on it will fall, which will suffocate the tomb robbers alive, but this is also a very passive means. Now tomb robbers will determine the actual location of the ancient tomb based on the sand in the Luoyang shovel, and directly pass through the twelve layers of blue bricks from the top of the tomb). If a mechanism can operate for hundreds or thousands of years, it is necessary to use materials that will not rot for hundreds or thousands of years, such as stones and running water that will not dry up. These things are all here, and the water here will also provide a power according to the changes in the tides, making it more convenient to use. If the tomb owner is Wang Canghai, then this person, judging from his obsession with strange and ingenious arts and his ability to use them, has reached the pinnacle. I am afraid that no one in the world can surpass him. Zhang Qiling thought while touching the stone walls in other places. In his mind, he already had a vague idea that there must be an entrance on this wall. The entrance had moved when he hesitated just now. He felt all the way and walked forward a few steps. Sure enough, he found a secret door. It was impossible for him to find it so easily. He shook his head and did not dare to enter. He continued to walk forward. The more he walked, the more confused he became. Finally, he counted and found eight secret doors in this small place. Now he calculated in his mind and seemed to know, isn't this a strange shield?
