Chapter 04 Three Fork

There was no sound on it. He waited for a long time. I guess Yang Yu had found that he had an accident, but the cave was too secretive and he might not be able to find it. It's better to save yourself than to sit here and wait. Beckham is a person who doesn't like to accept others. Although he has lived under multiple pressure for too long, there is still a stubbornness in his bones. Once it breaks out, ten cows can't be pulled back.

He rolled up his cuffs, took a look around him, wrote down the path, and then stuffed his mobile phone back into his pocket to avoid low power. He only had one battery, and he didn't know what unexpected would happen in the future, so he had to save power. Touching the darkness, I walked to the entrance of the corridor, and there seemed to be a slight red light, like a firefly in the night.

It seems that there should be lighting facilities inside, more like torches, which makes him overjoyed.

Sure enough, in the depths of the corridor, half of the burning torch was inserted in the wall, which seemed to have burned for a period of time, because the oil on it will be completely burned out in ten minutes at this burning speed.

Xiaobei pulled down the torch and took it in his hand. The ground was that kind of old-fashioned bluestone slab. It seems that this place was indeed artificially excavated, but who dug it here? He guessed that if he hadn't fallen into the tomb in Qiuyu's mouth, it must be a place to store goods. It may also be an air-raid shelter. This thing is not uncommon in China. After all, this thing played a great role during the Anti-Japanese War. Although it is now abandoned, it is also a full use of materials as a warehouse.

Suddenly he seemed to have stepped on something, so he lowered his head. Seeing the things on the ground, he seemed to have knocked over the five-flavor bottle in his heart. He didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

The ground within five or six meters ahead is densely covered with small arrows about the thickness of the index finger and the length of the arm. He walked slowly against the wall, and the uneven touch of his fingers told him that there were many potholes in the wall. Then it became clear that he did fall into the tomb, and the hole he fell from was the hole dug by the grave robbers.

The hole on the wall confirms everything. It should have triggered the mechanism here after the tomb robber came in. This kind of crossbow is the most common and common in the tomb. It is also clearly described in the book. When someone steps on a special position, it will pull the flowing sand connected to the wall under his feet and the stone slabs under his feet. When digging the tomb, the soil below is dug out and laid, and there is a baffle below. When a person steps on that special position, the baffle will fail. At this time, the soil inside the wall collapses and flows into the ground. When the bamboo object inside loses the pressure exerted by the mud and sand, it will instantly straighten and shoot sharp arrows to kill the trespasser.

Beckham didn't know whether the mechanism here had been completely triggered, so she carefully picked up a crossbow and threw it into the distance, making a jingle sound. It seemed that the distance ahead was temporarily safe. However, since someone dug a hole and arrived here, it is possible for him to meet the grave robbers, so it's better to be safe. Xiaobei thought so and did not stop in his hand. He picked up the crossbows on the ground one by one, picked up about a dozen of them in his left hand, and held a sharper one as a defensive weapon in his right hand.

He found a little dark brown blood stains on one of them. It seems that someone was hit by the mechanism here. He may have been injured or may have died long ago. The body was taken away by his companions. I hope it's not Qiu Yu's side. Who knows whether the experienced tomb robbers have a way to dodge the mechanism and pass it safely without starting the mechanism. Qiu Yu and others are different. In case they accidentally fall in like themselves and walk here and the mechanism has not been opened, it is really a devastating disaster.

"Huh? What is this?" Beckham walked slowly on her waist and suddenly found a shiny dot in the groove on the wall. She didn't know what it was.

The torch lit up the view of that area. He used the front part of the crossbow as a digging tool, broke a small hole about two finger wide in the wall and carefully pulled it.

Maybe it's a good thing? Beckham thought so. Anyway, it's in the tomb. I can quietly take away one or two small objects and get some, right? You can't come here for nothing, yes, that's it! His narrowed eyes flashed with the unique cunning of small citizens, as if he had returned to the moment of bargaining with the stall aunt.

"Damn!" He happily dug up the not-solid wall, revealing the mezzanine boards inside. When Beckham finally saw the whole picture of the thing in front of him, he suddenly cursed in his heart and immediately flew back and fell to the ground and dared not move.

Whey!

A series of empty-breaking sounds came later, brushing the back of Beckham's head. All three crossbows were nailed to the opposite wall.

At this moment, Beckham can no longer be greedy, but she doesn't dare to move, for fear of being taken to the king of hell to report by this organ.

The clothes on the body have been soaked with cold sweat and sticking to the body, which is indescribably uncomfortable. After a long time, nothing was shot again, and Beckham was afraid to get up from the ground. Damn, it's actually a stuck crossbow that hasn't been shot! I thought it was a baby and almost went to see Chairman Mao (Harmonious)!" Although his mouth didn't care, he didn't dare to raise his body. He still walked slowly sideways with his waist. God knew if there would be anything else.

"What the hell is this? The quality is so bad that the ancients' technology is really not good. I really don't know if the Zhugelian crossbow has ever been stuck before!" Beckham's mind has fantasized about a ridiculous scene of a large group of crossbowmen squatting on the ground and pulling the trigger during the war in ancient times.

In fact, this organ was also scolded by Beckham. The coloring on the wall has been slightly cracked, at least for nearly a thousand years. No matter how good the quality of the things inside is, they are made of wood. After decay, they accumulate in it, so that the sand cannot sink, so it is natural to jam the crossbow.

Besides, who would put the funeral objects in the wall fired by the crossbow? When Beckham entered the tomb for the first time, she always thought that she would meet the baby in two steps, which led to forgetting common sense and such a joke.

This time, he learned well. Anyway, he no longer fantasized about picking up treasures, looked around warily, and didn't even dare to hold the wall with his hands. Although money is important, you have to have a life to spend it. A good life has not been enjoyed enough. It is not worth building your life for a little bargain. He can still figure it out.

walked 50 or 60 meters along this corridor and met a corner, which was a three-way fork. I don't know if it would be another trap. I have long heard that the ancients loved to do this and set up several passages, only one leading to the real main tomb, and the rest are dead end, in which there are countless hidden weapons waiting for the unlucky to be hooked.
