Legend of the Undying Part 1 Liao's Injustice Chapter 20 Iron Locked Corpse

Although there was no movement on the Huangqi pole, Zhang Guozhong still felt a little uncomfortable. After all, humans were also animals. Although some instincts have degenerated, they were occasionally aroused. "Senior Brother, why... I feel uncomfortable all over my body..." The closer to those holes similar to brick kilns, the stronger the feeling of feeling of Zhang Guozhong's discomfort was, as if he had been sitting in a car for more than ten hours and had not changed his posture. The joints on his body felt awkward no matter how they moved.

"Maybe it's lack of oxygen?" Old Liu disagreed. Although he was not very good at modern Western medicine theory, he still had common sense. Although the cave is very spacious, it has been covered for more than two thousand years. The air quality in the cave is naturally much worse than that outside. He is somewhat heavy. When he arrived in Bashan, he felt a little similar, but it was much lighter. After all, there was a thief hole in the treasure cave in Bashan that connects to the outside world. Although the cave had a thief hole on the outer altar, the passage with the inside was sealed by water, so the internal air quality was almost the same.

The door opening was about 1.5 meters high. After entering the door opening carefully, everyone found that the inside of the door opening turned out to be a large space, with a unclear length, but a width of at least ten meters. Judging from the stone pillars full of chisel marks in the middle, the entire space should have been completely man-made. Perhaps for the sake of saving project volume, the height of the space was even lower than the cave built by the Japanese in Gongming Mountain, Myanmar, and even Lao Liu had to be hugged.

"What is this?" Qin Ge couldn't help frowning when he shone with a flashlight. Under the flashlight, he saw rows of thick chains neatly hanging on the top of the low cave, about the thickness of an arm and wrist, and it was enough to tie the anchor. Under each chain, there was a dark ground hole with a diameter of about the same diameter as the one when he came down. Looking around, there were dozens of same ground holes, like a hornet's nest. The ground hole was full of water, and the water surface was about twenty centimeters lower than the ground. There was a shallow water trough between each hole, but the water surface in the hole was already lower than the sink.

"How old are you? You don't even recognize the iron chains?" Old Liu carefully followed the iron chains in the aisle, and knocked these thick iron chains with the tip of his sword. After listening to the movement, "It seems that it is not iron..."

"It should be copper..." Qin Ge said, "The Qin people are good at smelting copper, and the iron chains of Qin should be made of copper rather than iron*."

"Okay, you don't need to teach me..." Old Liu squatted down and began to carefully observe the hole and sink under the copper chain. "Guozhong, it seems that this place is indeed broken!"

"What do you mean?" Zhang Guozhong also squatted down and touched the sink with his hand, which was already dry.

"Look at this sink, I guess it was designed to replenish these holes to prevent the water from evaporating. If it weren't for this sink, the water in this cave would have dried up after more than two thousand years! But now, there is not much water in the cave, which means that the source of the sink has been blocked by someone...!" Old Liu narrowed his eyes and snorted, "Those who blocked the sink must be walking over with nails!"

"It makes sense..." Zhang Guozhong stood up and moved the chain with his hands, which seemed quite heavy. "What is hanging inside..."

"It's definitely not a baby!" Old Liu said, "It might be a human bone! Don't move! It's okay to soak the yin and yang in the water, and it's probably a problem to get out of the water!"

"No... it's not a bone..." Old Liu's words fell, and Alxun's voice suddenly came from not far away. The sound seemed to be full of energy, "You guys see what this is... fast! I can't hold on anymore..."

"What are you doing?" Qin Ge raised the flashlight and was immediately amused and crying. It turned out that while everyone was talking, Alson actually sneaked to the side by himself, grabbed the iron chain and pulled the hanging object out of the water.

"Hey? This rash guy..." Zhang Guozhong and Lao Liu head fired a flashlight and came to Alxun in three steps, carefully looking at the black thing being pulled up...

Meanwhile, outside the cave.

Facts proved that Sun Ting's patience was indeed not very good. At first, he pretended to be quite like a ok, but as time passed by, Sun Ting, who had always been calm on the outside, gradually became restless. In addition, Zhang Yicheng kept asking what was going on below. After more than ten minutes on his head, Sun Ting couldn't bear it anymore, so he told everything that happened under the hole. Zhang Yicheng's face turned pale when he heard it. He squatted down and pulled open his big travel bag and started looking for things, daggers, talisman paper, bottles and jars.

"Yicheng..." Seeing Zhang Yicheng's actions, Sun Ting was even more anxious, "Where are the four of them, there should be no trouble with guns on them, right?"

"Uncle Sun, do you know how many other people are?" Zhang Yi didn't raise his head.

"Well..." Sun Ting didn't say anything anymore. Just seeing someone being pulled into the water, let alone the other party, he didn't even see anything...

"I'll go down, you're guarding up!" Within three minutes, Zhang Yicheng was "fully armed", the talisman paper was rolled into an empty mineral water bottle, and the useful things in the big travel bag were basically rewritten into his backpack by Zhang Yicheng.

"How can this work!" After hearing what Zhang Yicheng said, Sun Ting's face turned red. A child heard that there was danger and he was an adult. If this kind of thing spread, I don't know how he would be in the archaeological circle in the future...

"Oh... it's so troublesome!" Zhang Yicheng didn't have time to argue about who would not make any decision. His own father's life and death are uncertain... "Then Uncle Sun, let's go quickly! Uncle Liu...you stay here..."

"Oh... OK..." Big Hand Liu saw that the two of them were fighting over and over again and didn't know what was going on, so he just nodded in confusion.

The things in the hole were about twenty centimeters pulled out of the water by Alxun, which seemed quite heavy. Through the flashlight, Zhang Guozhong found that the chain was connected to a circle cage, similar to a bird cage. The top of the cage was pulled to a position on the same level as the ground. The diameter of the cage was only half a circle smaller than the ground hole. It was basically a tight fit in the hole. It should have been specially made for these holes. The cage was a piece of black stuff, which seemed to be somewhat similar to the black stuff under the altar when entering the cave.

"What is this here?" Old Liu kept illuminating the flashlight and found that the surface of the thing in the cage was cumbersome, as if it was not a corpse. He stuck the tip of the sword into the cage and poked it. It felt hard and soft, and he didn't know what it was.

"It seems that it's not a corpse..." Old Liu's curiosity also came up, "Brother Ai, please raise some more... Guozhong, please help him!"

Standing opposite Alxun, Zhang Guozhong split his legs and grabbed the iron chain. He called the number and lifted the chain up about ten centimeters. "I said senior brother, hurry up! You can't hold on for long!" It doesn't matter if you don't mention it. When Zhang Guozhong mentioned it, he almost flashed his waist. This thing was several times heavier than imagined. No wonder the veins on Alxun's neck burst out...

"What is this..." Old Liu simply put his hand into the cage and touched the surface of the black slag. The hand felt a bit like a metal mesh, but the workmanship was relatively rough, and the gap could probably be penetrated by a finger, "Who is the sacred thing?" Old Liu simply poked a finger into the gap of the iron mesh. It didn't matter, but it felt like the floating capsule inside was like rotten tomatoes, but it was more tough. "No!! Let go!!" Old Liu's mind skipped a beat, and hurriedly pulled his hand back, put it under his nose and smelled it. A strange smell (the smell of yin gathering) spread to his brain. At the same time, there was a sharp sound from the hole, and Zhang Guozhong suddenly felt a layer of goose bumps all over his body. The iron chain in his hand was instantly loosened, and the cage sank into the water.

"Is this just now... Could it be..." Qin Ge's face changed when he heard this sound. He had also heard this sound in Bashan at that time. No matter what principle it was made, it was an ominous sign in short.

"It's broken...it's broken...it's trouble..." Old Liu muttered and picked up the Seven-Star Sword, "Go out quickly...it's not a good person!"

At this time, Alxun and Qin Ge had already pulled out their guns, while Zhang Guozhong had already run outside the cave and opened his eyes towards the darkness.

"Guo Zhong...is there anything?" Old Liu's face was covered in sweat.

"It seems... nothing..." Zhang Guozhong turned around and opened his eyes, "It seems that he hasn't come out yet, hurry up and go out..." After that, the few people began to strode in the direction of the shooting star...

"Senior Brother...what was that thing just now?" Zhang Guozhong asked while running.

"It's his corpse!" Old Liu said breathlessly, "It's wrapped in a latte net!"

"Then...why did the ancients wrap him with a net?" Zhang Guozhong was stunned when he heard this. It turned out that there were corpses in ancient times that were soaked in water...

"You ask me?" Old Liu said, "I stabbed it with a sword and it was so hard. What did you think it was? Who would have thought it was a corpse?"

"I'll get off first..." After running to the water, Alxun volunteered and jumped down. After seeing that there was no movement, Zhang Guozhong also got into the water. He had just swam into the door hole under the water and was facing Alxun swimming backwards.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Guozhong made an underwater gesture. Unexpectedly, Alxun didn't even have time to hit the gesture. He danced and pulled Zhang Guozhong up and swam back...

Iron smelting technology in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period: In the early Spring and Autumn Period, iron smelting technology was not yet developed, and could only smelter pig iron and was not resistant to forging, so it was called "evil gold". Bronze was called "US dollar" because of its good ductility and plasticity. At that time, "evil gold" could only be used as the manufacturing of agricultural tools. "Mandarin V Qiyu" once recorded that US dollars were cast with swords and halberds, and dogs and horses were tested; evil gold was cast with hoe and pounds, and loam soil was tested.

By the middle and late Warring States Period, the iron smelting technology had unprecedented development (the Yan State iron sword unearthed in Yi County, Hebei Province had reached the hardness of modern high-carbon steel), but it was still limited to the creation of short weapons, such as swords and axes. At that time, because copper weapons were easy to smel and the technology was mature, most of the main combat weapons used by countries to equip the army on a large scale were still made of bronze. At the end of the Warring States Period, there was a situation where iron and copper weapons coexisted.

Sharp sound: This sound is "death anger", which means the dead person's eyes open. In Maoshan Technique, the resentment has been dealt with and resurrected, and the sound of "death anger" will be made, the same as the sound of the sky's breaking sound, but the meaning of the representative is exactly the opposite. Xiangjian, "Descendants of Maoshan" Chapter 43 "Secret Room".
