The Black Card - Chapter 1332

[Chapter 1330 The secret room and the coffin]

But this cannot be blamed on Shi Lei. No one has touched this brick for at least seventy or eighty years. Moreover, Shi Lei believes that walking around normally and stepping on this brick will definitely not cause underground mechanisms. The change.

Otherwise, if you just walk on this brick, the mechanism at the bottom of the well will move once. This obviously does not meet the requirements of the mechanism designer. No one designs a mechanism that will allow others to accidentally trigger this mechanism at any time.

On the well, it is not easy to trigger this mechanism. Shi Lei believes that even if he finds the brick beside the wellhead, it is impossible to trigger the mechanism so easily. For Shi Lei, the only way is to go down to the well. Downhole way.

After making this discovery, Shi Lei looked down the well again. He found that where the brick was, water no longer flowed downwards, and the movement at the bottom of the well also stopped. However, the bottomless There was still no change at the entrance of the cave.

Shi Lei went down the well again. The original bottom of the well was now a deeper hole. Since there was a steel cable hanging on him, Shi Lei was not worried and continued downward.

After descending for about ten meters, Shi Lei saw that there was a thin layer of water under his feet. It was too dark down the well, and the surrounding well walls were made of bricks with many pores. This led to When he shined a strong flashlight, the light was completely absorbed by these pores, making it look as if the hole was bottomless.

However, except for the thin layer of water at the bottom, there was no passage at the bottom of the well, and nothing was hidden. Shi Lei even went down to the bottom of the well and stepped under the thin layer of water, which was only two or three centimeters. It was so high that even the uppers of his shoes were not submerged, and the bottom was the ground.

Shi Lei studied for a long time and found no new mechanism, so he had to return to the ground.

Sitting by the edge of the well, Shi Lei thought for a long time, but he really couldn’t figure out what was going on.

Suddenly, he remembered that the water level in the river was now much lower than it was a hundred years ago. Perhaps it was because the water level in the river was too low and there was not enough water in the well?

This was easy, so Shi Lei immediately went out and bought a water pipe, connected it to the faucet in the house, and started draining water into the well.

It will be dark after this release, at least for more than four hours.

When Shi Lei returned to the house after dinner, he immediately felt a similar movement coming from the well.

Immediately returning to the well, Shi Lei saw that tap water had filled the deep hole under the well. Shi Lei quickly turned off the faucet and pulled up the water pipe.

Shi Lei saw that the original opening at the bottom of the well slowly returned to its original state. The mechanism slowly recovered, completely blocking the water below.

There was a rumbling sound in the well, and Shi Lei silently took two steps back, but did not feel any more changes. Everything should still be safe.

However, he discovered that a pillar on the steps at the entrance to the main hall was slowly moving.

I go!

What a big deal!

This pillar…

Shi Lei was puzzled. He had studied almost every place in the yard before, but he couldn’t see any mechanism.

When the pillar stopped moving, he took a closer look and saw that there was a hole underneath the pillar.

After a little research, he discovered that the movement of the pillar was entirely due to the underground part, and the part connected to the roof actually touched everything, and there was no mechanism on the roof.

It’s no wonder, there is a pillar stuck here, and there is no sign of any mechanism on it. All the mechanisms are underground under the pillar, so it’s normal that Shi Lei didn’t notice it.

I used a flashlight to shine on the hole under the pillar. It was not deep, about four meters, and the hole was just big enough for a person to get in. Even a fat man weighing more than 200 kilograms should not be too strenuous.

I took another photo and found that there seemed to be signs of enlargement in the south-facing position below the cave entrance.

Shi Lei knew that this was probably directly connected to a secret room.

After moving the electric pulley block over, Shi Lei entered the cave with caution.

As soon as I walked down, I could see clearly. There was a short passage to the west. The entire passage was in the shape of a fan. After walking forward for less than ten meters, it was already very open. It was completely a room. size.

The space of the entire secret room, including the fan-shaped passage, is about forty square meters.

Not too big, but not too small either.

Shi Lei walked straight to the top of the secret room. He saw a door that was not obvious. There were candlesticks on both sides of the door, and there were even two candles on it.

At least seventy or eighty years have passed, and the candles have long been useless, but this did not hinder Shi Lei. With the flashlight in his hand, he quickly found out that these two candlesticks were the location of the mechanism.

After testing for a while, the candlestick was turned, and the door in front of him slowly opened.

Further inside, there is a small room, and there is a coffin in the room.

This always gave people a creepy feeling, although Shi Lei knew very well that regardless of whether there was a corpse in the coffin, it was already a skeleton, and there was no way that there would be anything like rice dumplings.

He carefully observed everything in the small room. Except for some necessary offerings, there was nothing else, and there seemed to be no place to hide anything.

Shi Lei saw a small altar on the top of the coffin, with a pair of tablets placed on it. The writing had long been blurred, and Shi Lei could only barely make out the word “Zheng”.

Moreover, these two characters are still on two different tablets. The first character on the right tablet and the second character on the left tablet form the word Zheng.

Under the tablet, there is a small scroll.

Shi Lei first bowed to the tablet. Although the person on the tablet had nothing to do with Shi Lei, out of respect for Mr. Zheng, he still had to show the necessary etiquette.

Then, he stretched out his hand, but as soon as he touched the scroll, the scroll fell apart. It was too old and nothing had been done to it.

Shi Lei estimated that even if the scroll was not damaged, the writing on it would be as unclear as the tablet after opening it.

The scroll should have recorded something about the collection, but now, nothing can be seen.

After studying in the small room for a long time, Shi Lei could not find any other mechanisms. Even when he went under the coffin to study, there were no more mechanisms.

This couldn’t help but put Shi Lei in trouble.

You can’t really open the coffin…

This is too disrespectful to Mr. Zheng’s ancestors.

After walking around the coffin several times, Shi Lei suddenly discovered that this coffin seemed to be much longer than an ordinary coffin. After all, no matter how tall the ancestors of the Zheng family were, they couldn’t be more than two meters, right?

As for this coffin, Shi Lei estimated that even Yao Ming would be able to fit in it, taking into account the thickness of the coffin.

There’s something weird about the coffin!

Shi Lei began to study the coffin carefully. Finally, he discovered that the top of the coffin seemed to be movable at the end where the feet were placed.

He bowed again to the tablet on the altar and said, “Forgive me, forgive me. This is also what your two elders’ descendants ask for. He can’t bear to let these antiques go to waste, so I can only offend him.”

After saying this, Shi Lei Then he stretched out his hand and gently touched the end of the coffin. Just when his hand was pressed on the top plate, the top plate seemed to move slightly inward. Then, Shi Lei heard the sound of a machine starting up, and he hurriedly Step back.

There was no surprise. In the middle of the top plate, where some patterns were originally carved, something similar to a drawer handle slowly rose up.

After making sure there was no other movement, Shi Lei grabbed the bump and pulled it out.

The top plate is extracted.

It was indeed a drawer.
