"Is this a warning?
Or perhaps, this itself is a built-in trap in the Four Directions Divine Beast Formation, an appetizer for a more serious disaster. "
After being stunned for a moment, the question Jiang Yingxue asked was not only asking Bai Ning, but also seeking Professor Huang's opinion.
At this time, Professor Huang was also nervously observing the situation on the field and did not immediately respond to Jiang Yingxue's inquiry.
"The Southern Vermilion Bird belongs to fire. The explosive contained in this exploding bronze pot should be a symbol of the fire attribute.
According to this understanding, will the white tiger position in the Western gold sign hide some traps such as crossbows and arrows?
As for the bigger trap, could it be a linkage between the four divine beasts, causing the entire coffin area to be covered by something unknown, in the hope of killing everyone nearby?
The most likely one is the Xuanwu position in the north, which belongs to water. The liquids contained in those clay pots are probably very dangerous liquids. "
Bai Ning was the first to express his overall analysis of the situation on the field. This was his keen sense of danger as an active risk taker.
According to this speculation, at first, the traps in the three directions of southeast and west should be activated in stages to drive all the tomb robbers near the coffin to the north, and then kill them all with poisonous liquid.
"Boss Bai's overall guess makes sense, but there seems to be some slight differences in the definitions of various attributes of these funerary objects.
Gold is a general term for metals. In ancient times, it generally represented copper, but here, there is a slight change.
The white tiger position in the west, which belongs to gold, should use iron, while the red bird position in the south, which belongs to fire, uses copper.
This copper is not bronze in the general sense, but pure copper, showing purple-red pure copper.
The purple-red color of pure copper is used to represent the fire attribute of Suzaku, which is enough to illustrate the degree of development of the Xiwangmu clan in the metallurgical industry.
However, the Xuanwu position in the north, which belongs to water, uses pottery instead of porcelain with a denser structure, which shows that they are lacking in other aspects of technology.
With this kind of unbalanced technology system, I don’t think they would put some poisonous liquid in clay pots to ambush the tomb robbers here.
Based on the previous precedent of the megalithic mechanism, I feel that the coffin itself should be more concerned about. "
After hearing Bai Ning's analysis, Professor Huang gave his overall analysis. In his analysis, he regarded the funerary objects represented by the four mythical beasts as the trigger switch of the coffin mechanism.
Looking at the overall pattern, once the incoming tomb robbers start to divide the loot, triggering the mechanism in the funerary objects is inevitable. When the time comes, the coffin, the central mechanism, launches a sneak attack, which will definitely have the best killing effect on the tomb robbers.
If considered from this perspective, this tomb is not a burial tomb, but a suspicious tomb.
"If the coffin is regarded as the final killing mechanism, the entire layout of this tomb will not be so strange and changeable.
Even if we think about it a little more relaxedly, as long as we clear out the correct burial objects, we can continue to dig deeper without touching the mechanism.
This situation seems to confirm the content of the previous mural:
As long as part of the content is successfully deleted, all the stories will become a perfect fairy tale, and everyone will get a satisfying happy ending. "
Combining Professor Huang's guess, Bai Ning even connected it with the previous overall analysis of the mural, successfully integrating the incompleteness into the current reasoning process.
In this way, the two elements of the four-sided mythical beasts and murals in this tomb are organically combined and become excellent components in the wonderful reasoning process.
However, he is not playing a reasoning game at the moment. He is taking an adventure in a mausoleum, using his own life to try out the murder trap set by someone who is thoughtful.
This trap may have a certain logic, and it also leaves a way out for the breaker with a narrow escape from the murderous intent in the sky, but no one can be sure about what this way out is.
"Bai Ning, are you saying that our current speculation seems a bit too simple?"
Jiang Yingxue knew Bai Ning, and could already see the true meaning of his words from his tone and current motionless attitude.
In this regard, Bai Ning did not respond, which was regarded as a tacit statement.
"In such a huge tomb, if only one coffin in the middle contains a fatal mechanism, this kind of speculation is indeed too childish.
However, if there are some more complex mechanisms here, they should be hidden under the floor or exist in the ceiling.
Taking so much trouble to hide these murderous mechanisms is, in a sense, a surprise.
In the previous process of interpreting the murals, if the missing part can be regarded as a surprise, then the surprise mechanism hidden in this secret room is the presentation of this concept. "
Professor Huang's previous speculation was only based on an overall consideration. Since Bai Ning disagreed, he could only start talking about the bigger picture.
To say so is to say nothing.
Because the crawler robot has just run out of a smooth road, the hidden mechanism cannot be triggered. In fact, it is the same as not having it.
"Unless these mechanisms hidden under the small stone slabs will gradually change over time.
You know, whether we are cracking the coffin mechanism or continuing to dig deeper, we will need to stay in this tomb for a long time.
The path we take later is also what we consider to be a safe path. Repeated walking will definitely eliminate any doubts.
But it is this that will undoubtedly make the changing traps full of endless surprises.
Discovery is surprise, surprise is death.
At worst, they suffered heavy casualties, at worst, they were trapped in this completely changed huge mechanism.
This variability is also a property of the missing content of the murals.
The missing things, you can say it any way, are extremely changeable. This may be the true meaning of the missing murals. "
As if he was suddenly awakened, Bai Ning continued to expand on the missing mural.
Under his expansion, the entire tomb was completely connected into an organic whole, which also increased its danger by more than one level. It was indeed a bit unpredictable.
"There is a mechanism trap under the stone bricks. Wouldn't it be enough to just pry the stone slabs open?"
Liu Cheng saw that the situation was heated and everyone was timid about this tomb. Based on his own opinions, he gave this slightly reckless suggestion.
A very direct solution, it can be said to hit whatever is dangerous, just like the copper kettle that exploded before is a dispensable decoration.
"Why, did you go down to pry the stone bricks yourself?"
If anyone is willing to risk his life so recklessly, the one who is in the tomb now is not the adventurous Bai Ning.
After being ridiculed by Jiang Yingxue, Liu Cheng immediately looked at his nose, nose and heart, trying to reduce his sense of existence as much as possible.
The bodyguards around him also hated Liu Cheng, a bastard who liked to come up with random ideas. As bodyguards of the Jiang family, they knew something about Jiang Yingxue's ruthless nature.
If Jiang Yingxue was really moved by Liu Cheng's words, she might really use their bodyguards as cannon fodder.
It's just that the process of letting them die may be more tactful.
Now everyone is living in a relatively stable environment, and you, a little transparent person with nothing to do, are really not afraid of the wind and your tongue.
Could it be that those bodyguards who were involved in the mausoleum's life and death were not enough to make you, Liu Cheng, aware of the danger of this mausoleum?
"I do think it is very necessary to lift some of the small stone slabs."
Just when all the bodyguards breathed a sigh of relief at Jiang Yingxue's rejection, Bai Ning actually agreed with Liu Cheng's suggestion.
This made Liu Cheng happy, but also made all the bodyguards very confused.
Bai Ning was most aware of the negative attitude shown by everyone when he entered the tomb. This may be one of the reasons why he went to test it alone.
Everyone is afraid of death. This is basic human nature. Bai Ning must know it, but now he is blatantly asking everyone to die. It is indeed very strange.
According to general logic, you should at least make up some lies first, and then trick the bodyguards into committing suicide. If there are real casualties, you can also explain the casualties as accidents.
This kind of black-box operation is also an unspoken rule that everyone can accept.
Jiang Yingxue stared at Bai Ning in the tomb. She didn't know whether Bai Ning didn't bother to play tricks, or whether the current crisis didn't reach the point where he needed to deceive others into dying.
“What, do you have some good engineering advice?
After all, there are quite a lot of stone bricks here. "
As always, in order to appease the military morale of the surrounding bodyguards, Jiang Yingxue could only interpret Bai Ning's meaning as the latter.
“I don’t have any good suggestions. Install a stretching device on the top of the tomb chamber and use ropes to hang warm wet towels to hang the small stone slabs.
Although this progress is a little slower, it should be able to clear an area well and see what structure is under the small stone slab. "
Bai Ning's suggestion has a certain degree of innovation. The iron railings in winter are sweet, and I don't know how many people's mouths have been glued to them. The warm cloth covers the stone slabs that are more than ten degrees below zero, and its adhesion It is enough to lift a small stone slab.
After hearing this suggestion, all the bodyguards couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. It was a little slow, but who thought they would live longer.
All of a sudden, the sound of drilling expansion screws was heard endlessly, and the hole area was quickly covered with a circle of pulleys and slings.
