65.Chapter 65: The Only Way


This old bastard and the guy named Sun didn't even say hello when they saw our grandson coming.

But we are too lazy to pay attention, it is better not to fight, lest they smell like shit.

This means that what they say must not sound nice, and it is either hypocritical politeness or bitter sarcasm and ridicule, so they ignore us and we are fine with it.

My grandfather walked over, leaned his face against the door, and looked in through the crack in the door.

I saw that his face became more and more surprised as he looked at it, and finally he opened his mouth wide.

The man surnamed Sun and Lao Wang then laughed.

The man surnamed Sun said proudly: "Old Taoist, what are you doing?

Do you see any clues?"

From the tone of the person surnamed Sun, it was obvious that he already knew what was going on and deliberately wanted to test my grandfather.

If my grandfather couldn't answer the question, he would definitely take the opportunity to scold me.

"I originally thought it was a tapstone."

Grandpa smiled slightly and stroked his beard and said, "I didn't expect it to be a balancing stone.

Now it's interesting."

After grandpa finished speaking, the smiles on the faces of Sun and Lao Wang froze instantly.

When I saw this appearance, I must have been right.

I said, "Grandpa, what is a tapstone and what is a balance stone?"

Grandpa looked at me, touched his beard, looked up at the tall stone door, and couldn't help but admired: "The wisdom of the ancients is really beyond our ability to guess.

Look at this door, there is a little bit of lime, a little sign of bonding.

None, all components are stone strips accurate to the millimeter.”

Grandpa said this, and I raised my head to look at the door.

Oh my god, if Grandpa didn't remind me, I really didn't realize that even the three layers of glazed tiles were carved directly from the stone and then painted with golden paint.

I don’t know what kind of paint it is made of, but it is still dazzling after hundreds or thousands of years.

It is completely different from the kind of decoration materials made outside that fade and peel off in a year and a half.

"In this tapstone, craftsmen dug a groove on the ground stone slab inside, and then there is the same groove on the back of the door.

This is all calculated in detail, and there can be no difference of even one millimeter.

The moment the door is closed, , place a square stone pillar on the groove, with one end of the stone pillar facing the groove on the ground, and the other end facing the door.

The groove on the door is locked so that it cannot be pushed open from the outside in.

"As my grandfather spoke, he looked at Sun and said, "But when you encounter some experienced tomb robbers, they will open it through the door.

The iron wire or iron rod is inserted through the crack, and the stone pillar of the top door is hooked or pushed open.

It is a pity that this mechanism is countless times more sophisticated than the stone pillar."

I scratched my forehead and said, "This is the balancing stone you just mentioned."

"Yes, it's the Balanced Stone."

Grandpa sighed in admiration and said, "These craftsmen who designed the mausoleum are all royal, that is, first-class experts.

They naturally know the shortcomings of this kind of tap stone, so they designed it."

This kind of balancing stone, I just looked into the door.

There is a small courtyard in the door of the tomb, and there is another door in the courtyard.

That door is the real tomb door, and the one in front of me is called the mausoleum door. " "This tomb door is pushed inward, but this tomb door is pushed outward.

Their directions are opposite.

When closing the door, one end of the stone pillar is pressed against the groove of the tomb door, while the other end is On the upper edge of the mausoleum gate, when the mausoleum gate is slowly closed, the stone pillar slowly slides down little by little along the grooved track on the mausoleum gate.

Come, when you reach the groove of the mausoleum gate, the stone pillars completely hold up the mausoleum gate and the tomb door, forming an H-shape.

In this way, people outside can't get in, and people inside can't get out.

This simple physical principle allows People are completely blind, even with today's high technology, unless it is destroyed by force, it is basically impossible to open it with human power," Grandpa explained.

The man surnamed Sun took the lead in applauding, and Lao Wang and Lao Chen also applauded.

The man surnamed Sun said: "The old Taoist priest really has some knowledge.

Since you can recognize this mechanism, there is a way to crack it."

"Use explosives.

It's quick and easy.

The ancients calculated countless things, but they can't be compared to our current high-tech products."

My grandfather said, stroking his goatee.

The faces of Mr.

Sun and Lao Wang and Lao Chen turned red from holding back.

They both knew that my grandfather was hurting them by saying this, and they also heard that my grandfather had an idea.

"Old sir, you are really joking.

This is archeology, not tomb robbing.

How can we use explosives to blow up the door?"

Old Chen Dang made peace with him and laughed.

"If it's not a tomb robber, then why use a tomb robber?"

I didn't expect that my grandfather would fight back, and I felt so happy.

Sun's face instantly turned green, but he didn't dare to get angry because he had no idea in front of this door.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have let Lao Chen shamelessly look for my grandfather after crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.

"Hey hey hey, they are all here to help, and they are all doing things for the country.

You don't remember the faults of villains."

Lao Chen quickly accompanied him with a smile.

My grandfather ignored him.

He was such a smiling tiger.

Not to mention my grandfather, even I had seen through it, so why bother pretending to be with him?

If I had the strength, I might as well take a nap.

My grandfather looked at the door, put his hands behind his back and said, "You are looking for the right person."

When the three of them heard this, their eyes widened immediately.

The man named Sun blushed and asked, "What can you do?"

"When the ancients built this mausoleum, they considered all the means of tomb robbing at that time.

Whatever the tomb robbers could think of, they could also think of it, so they had many mechanisms to prevent theft.

However, with the development of science, no matter how good their mechanisms were, , there are times when it doesn’t work.”

My grandfather pointed at the gate and said, “This gate is made of hundreds or thousands of strips of stone.

Although it is stone, it uses Luban’s technique.

It is nothing more than making the material from wood.

Replace it with stone."

After my grandfather finished speaking, even the man named Sun was stunned.

My grandfather touched his goatee and said: "Use Luban's Technique to put these stones together like building blocks.

They are interlocking, one buckles one, one controls the other, but one piece is flexible.

As long as you find this piece Taking out the flexible stone strips is like peeling off a cocoon, and you can take out the stone strips one by one and tear down the entire mausoleum gate."

"It was demolished."

Not only the three of them, but also everyone was dumbfounded.

"You've been talking for a long time, but you're still doing the same damage.

You might as well use explosives to do it faster, huh," the man surnamed Sun said unconvinced.

"Can this be the same?"

My grandfather glanced at him and said: "Let's pull out the stone strips one by one and number them according to 1, 2, 3, and 4.

After we go in, or after the excavation of the tomb is completed, we will take out these stone strips.

Assemble the stones and rebuild the mausoleum gate, exactly the same as the original one, without any damage.

But if you use explosives, can you still restore it?"

Sun's mouth was immediately blocked.

Lao Chen and Lao Wang looked at each other, their brows slightly relaxed, confused by their problem, and my grandfather solved it in an instant.

Lao Chen gave a thumbs up and said: "Ginger is still hotter than old.

The old Taoist priest has really seen people.

Can you recognize which one is the flexible stone?"

Grandpa smiled and said nothing, and just said: "When I was traveling in the world in the early years, I met a carpenter who knew Luban art.

I studied with him for several years.

Although I am not good at it, I should be able to find it if I search carefully."

"That's great."

Old Chen clapped his hands and couldn't hide his excitement.

He said, "Old Taoist Priest, please estimate that it will take a few days to dismantle this door."

"It can take as little as three to five days, or as long as ten days and a month and a half.

It won't be fast, and if it is fast, it will easily damage the stone bars."

My grandfather said.

"So slow" Lao Wang said with his eyes widened: "Is there any other way?"

"Yes."

My grandfather looked at him solemnly, touched his beard and said, "Use explosives."

As soon as the words came out, Lao Wang was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, but he dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

Old Chen chuckled and said: "Old Taoist Priest, you really like to joke.

I think there is no other way but to demolish it.

In this case, please give me some advice and try to demolish this mausoleum gate as soon as possible."

My grandfather nodded, but did not speak.

Instead, he looked up at the mausoleum gate
