Section 343 - Stealing
Listening to the feng shui master Master Zhou said that the green snake was a spirit snake, if it were changed to other times or other occasions, Professor Zhu and the others would definitely not believe it easily, but now, each of them has no doubts.
Being able to play with mobile phones and spray countless poisons doesn't look like a normal snake no matter how you look at it, I'm afraid that "spirit snake" is the only explanation.
The workers who had seen the frogs also sat still.
Only those workers who had never seen it, reflexively picked up the guys, of course, the shovels, hoes, and steel pipes.
As soon as they got their hands, they saw that the faces of the professors and others changed in unison.
"Don't!"
"Don't do it!"
"Don't touch it!"
Among them, the voice of several female students, Shi Milin, was the most sharp and harsh, and it had the tendency of piercing clouds and cracking stones.
"Put the guy down! Don't mess with the snake, don't! Stand back, all stand back!"
Feng Shui master Zhou Shuigen's face was full of nervousness, and he raised his hands to stop the workers who were overreacting.
He still remembered clearly how the green snake sprayed the poisonous insects and poisonous snakes that filled the passage, and if he gave everyone in the tent such a bite at this juncture, he would be alive and dead!
Just got out of the sacrificial place of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, but was wiped out here, do you say wronged?
The worker, who was carrying a steel pipe and had a meaty face, said with some sneer: "But the snake ......."
"It's nothing, let it go, unless you want to kill all of us!"
At this time, he didn't even eat noodles, and Professor Zhu was also anxious, he was also afraid of angering the green snake.
"Put it down, get out, get out!"
"Listen to the professors!"
The workers who followed the professors were also anxious to persuade them, and everyone was in the tent, and there was nowhere to escape.
The workers hesitated to put down the guys and retreated, but they were still a little unimpressed.
"Don't come back soon!"
Li Da Devil stood at the door of the tent with a bowl of noodles in his hand and shouted.
He had just gone to get his portion of the noodles, and when he turned around, he saw it.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes flickered, and the frog disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Just as Professor Zhu, Feng Shui Master and others were looking around and patrolling around, the frog Jiao had already appeared on Li Bai's shoulder, probing his brain into the noodle bowl.
In the eyes of this demon king, those mortals were obviously not as attractive as this bowl of fragrant noodles.
Because he is a rescue hero, his noodle bowl is filled with heavy ingredients, two poached eggs, large pieces of ham, shredded chicken, green cabbage leaves, and the protagonist of the real bowl is a large thick braised pork rib.
With so many extra additions, this large bowl of instant noodles is a no-brainer.
Feng Shui masters, professors and others all breathed a sigh of relief, it was really dangerous!
"The camera is good again!"
The technician, who had taken his attention back, saw that the picture on the laptop screen was no longer horizontal, but had changed back to overhead mode, as if there had just been a mechanical failure.
But his eyes quickly widened and he exclaimed.
"Then, that stone box, it's gone!"
"What!"
Professor Zhu rushed over with an arrow.
Only the stone lamps at the four corners remained on the flat-headed pyramid-like altar without a spire, while the huge stone box in the center was missing, leaving only the outline of a stone box on the ground.
"It should have sunk! Professors, you see, there are signs of depression in these places, and they have not been completely reset. ”
The feng shui master Zhou Shuigen, who followed up, pointed to a few positions on the altar, the camera picture was clear enough, although it could not be rotated, but it did not affect the zoom, five times the optical zoom, and the lights that were not turned off were shining, which was enough to pull the situation on the top of the altar close at hand, and it was clear to see.
Fortunately, he hung on the nylon rope and looked at the entire sacrificial space carefully, refusing to let go of even a single detail, otherwise it would not be easy to find these subtle changes.
"It's sinking?
The sacrificial space was full of traps, and the professors did not doubt that there would be more complex mechanisms hidden in this tall sacrificial space.
Don't think that the ancients didn't have a high-precision machine tool to create complex and precise things, you must know that the prototype of the vernier caliper was born in the Han Dynasty, and the actual time may be able to push it forward, like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period Zeng Hou Yizun Pan This anti-heaven artifact, even if it is a modern five-axis CNC machine tool, you still have to hesitate.
"It must have been flooded into the trap and triggered some kind of protection!"
Zhou Shuigen touched the bead chain on his wrist and speculated about the change that had just happened, which may be a coincidence.
Just as the hanging camera malfunctioned, the huge stone box sank into the altar, and there was no other explanation.
After all, it is impossible for such a large and heavy stone box to disappear into the air, and it is not possible to move it in a short time.
"What's the situation?"
Li Bai came over with a noodle bowl, he didn't pay attention, and let the Qingyao demon girl snatch the thick row.
Who knows how she opened her mouth, anyway, it was gone in the blink of an eye.
"Dr. Li, the stone box is missing. ”
The professors stepped out of the way and gestured to the top of the altar, which was empty on the laptop screen.
"Gone?"
Li Bai lowered his head and looked at the frog that was about to continue to steal food.
Following his gaze, Feng Shui master Zhou Shuigen saw the frog, looking at Li Bai's uncertain face, probably about to press this "spirit snake" into the noodle bowl with chopsticks, he also remembered that this green snake had returned to the sacrificial space not long ago, and still said in disbelief: "It should have nothing to do with it, right?"
With such a light snake, I'm afraid it's not easy to trigger the mechanism.
"It's hard to say, I'll go down and see later. ”
Li Bai gritted his teeth, this demon girl was really polite, and snatched him a poached egg again.
There are only two in the bowl, and if it goes on like this, I'm afraid there will only be noodle soup left.
Professor Zhu and Zhou Shuigen glanced at each other, and they also wanted to know the reason.
didn't give the frog a chance to steal food, the big devil finished pulling the noodles in the bowl with chopsticks in three or two pairs, and then put the bowl down, and jumped directly into the hole.
Just like playing difficult acrobatics, he swung a two-finger-thick nylon rope and dangled it directly to the top of the altar.
As soon as he stepped on the stone slab, he noticed the friction of the machine, Li Bai moved sideways to the side, and the position where Fang Cai was standing suddenly fell, revealing a large pit three feet square, and the bottom of the pit exposed spikes, and the cold light flickered, which made people creepy.
The people who saw this scene through the hanging camera outside were all shocked into a cold sweat, fortunately Dr. Li was in good health, and if someone else stepped on it rashly, I am afraid that they would die on the spot, not to mention archaeological research, even if they could save their lives, it would be good.
Liulixin swept the altar again, although some of the mechanisms were destroyed by the Qing Yao Demon Maiden, but it was still killing step by step.
Li Bai didn't stay long, he pulled the nylon rope that he hadn't let go and climbed up again, he didn't need to continue to investigate, because Liulixin had already found the answer.
Indeed, as the feng shui master Zhou Shuigen guessed, the huge stone box with a long length of Zhang Xu sank into the inside of the altar because of the activation of the mechanism, and it was more than two zhang deep, and Li Bai's glazed heart almost couldn't cover it.
However, compared with the previous things, the contents of the stone box were not missing a piece of gold and jade, and even the more precious jade slips were not missing, except for the bell-shaped monster with holes all over the body.
Without even thinking about it, Li Bai knew that it was stolen by the Qingyao Demon Girl, and there were not a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in her storage dragon scales, and she couldn't look down on the gold and jade in the stone box at all, but she had a soft spot, which showed that this strange bell seemed to be a little extraordinary.
As for the reason why the stone box sinks, it is probably because the demon girl accidentally touched the mechanism used by the ancients to protect these sacrifices when she stole things, and if she hadn't escaped quickly, I am afraid that she would have been locked in the stone box and sunk into the altar together.
And the hanging camera suddenly malfunctioned, it was obviously the demon girl's doing, and after figuring out the situation, Li Bai returned to the outside of the sacrificial place.
As soon as Li Bai climbed out of the hole, Professor Zhu nervously came up and asked, "How is it?
"It's still there!" Li Bai looked at the feng shui master and said, "Master Zhou is right, the stone box has indeed sunk into the altar. ”
"That's good, that's good!"
Professor Zhu looked happy and breathed a long sigh of relief.
The important core of the entire sacrificial space is the sacrificial space, and the most important place in the sacrificial space is the altar.
The most precious thing on the altar is naturally the huge stone box, if the stone box is missing, then the research value of the entire sacrificial place will be greatly reduced.
"I just don't know what is in it, the ancients would have protected it so closely. ”
The truth is somewhat different from Zhou Shuigen's speculation, but for the archaeological team, these are not the point, from the professor to the students, they want to know what the real history is?
"When I was looking for you below, I found a few things. ”
Li Bai suddenly seemed to remember something, touched it from his pocket, and took out a few ancient coins.
These ancient coins were found in the wreckage of a destroyed mechanism, and should have been put into it by the craftsman when he was arranging the mechanism, and if it were put into modern times, its use would be called gaskets, balance weights, and other auxiliary materials.
After picking up these unexpected gains, he was going to take them back as souvenirs, considering that the Qingyao Demon Maiden had stolen the strange bell, and there was no way to make her spit it out and return it for a while, so he had to give the ancient money to the archaeological team as compensation.
After listening to the historical stories told by professors in the sacrificial space before, Li Bai guessed that the significance of the existence of these ancient coins was far greater than their own value.
The professors looked at his palm, blurted out with wide eyes.
"Half a tael, five baht, and ant-nose money?"
"Qin half tael, Han five baht, Chu ant nose, isn't it the sacrificial place of Chu State?"
Cai He, Song Xiang and Shi Milin and other students looked at each other, all a little confused.
