Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

In ancient times, many people believed that life would continue after death.

Therefore, many people will build the same living environment in tombs as before, which represents their authority and also continues everything they did during their lifetime.

But generally speaking, harmony will be achieved. Even a tyrant cannot allow craftsmen to record their cruel side. The concept of beautifying oneself has been implemented in human civilization from beginning to end.

It's just that building a harem is a very common thing, but it's the first time Lin Ran has heard of building such a terrifying harem.

I have never seen any prince or nobleman build such a weird statue in his tomb.

"Is it because the tomb owner is so cruel that even the craftsmen can't stand it?" Liu Jingfeng murmured to himself as he looked at the statue in front of him.

If it is really a royal tomb from the Tang Dynasty, it should be deeply influenced by Buddhist culture.

In Buddhist culture, it has always been said that there are nine reincarnations before one can achieve enlightenment and benevolence.

Lin Ran suddenly thought of this. Could it be that these statues symbolized the scene in which the tomb owner had created a scene in his previous life to deceive the gods and Buddhas?

If you think about it from this perspective, Lin Ran somewhat understands it.

But one thing is certain right now, that is, what is in front of everyone is not a superstitious thing.

When Wang Jinpeng heard this, he finally felt relieved.

"Hey, no matter what he thinks, let's explore inside."

After saying that, he prepared to walk along the corridor towards the nave.

But at this moment, Lin Ran suddenly realized something was wrong and shouted to Wang Jinpeng: "Slow down!"

"Huh?" Wang Jinpeng smiled and turned around. He had already stepped into the waterside pavilion in the yard.

But the moment he turned back, Guan Yun had already rushed forward and pulled Wang Jinpeng backwards. Wang Jinpeng and Guan Yun fell to the ground.

But Wang Jinpeng had no time to complain. The moment they fell to the ground, the pavilion behind them collapsed.

And it didn't collapse naturally. It exploded with a sharp sound, and water and gravel splashed everywhere for a while.

Everyone also reached out to stop the flying rocks. Although it was a little slower, the power of the explosion was not great. The flying rocks only stung their hands and did not hurt them at all.

Except for Guan Yun and Wang Jinpeng who were the closest ones and were hit by relatively large rocks and suffered some injuries, the others were unharmed.

After a while, the dust around him calmed down.

Wang Jinpeng suddenly raised his head, his face becoming extremely gloomy.

Looking at the pavilion just now, we can no longer see any of its original appearance, only a puddle remains.

In less than five seconds, it had been blown up to the point where no frame was left.

The power of the explosion is not great, but if Wang Jinpeng had been standing in the pavilion just now, his body would have been blown up. After all, no matter how hard his body is, can it be compared to the torn stones in front of him?

After the explosion, a large amount of smoke and dust appeared in the surrounding area, falling into the surrounding ponds.

Seeing the sudden scene, Wang Jinpeng couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

"Brother Guan, thank you very much." Wang Jinpeng murmured to himself.

Only now did everyone realize one thing.

As local masters, they have experienced hundreds of battles and have dabbled in various ancient tombs, but most of them are venom or cold arrows. This is the first time they have seen explosives directly set up in tombs.

"Did the owner of this tomb set up the mechanism with the idea of ​​perishing together? Damn it!" Wang Jinpeng cursed.

You must know that this is underground, and even tomb robbers would not dare to set up explosives randomly. Even if it is a trap, who can guarantee that it will not go off.

Lin Ran felt even more puzzled, were these explosives really set up in the Tang Dynasty?

Fireworks did exist in China during the Tang Dynasty, and gunpowder did appear during the Tang Dynasty.

During the reign of Emperor Xianzong of the Tang Dynasty, someone compiled the book "Secrets of the Supreme Saint's Golden Pill", in which the method of fuming with fire and alum was mentioned. It was also the earliest record of gunpowder in China. Gunpowder may have existed before this, but it was not called by its name. .

And this book is actually just a book for refining medicine, so it can be seen that it is not used for military purposes.

According to the records in the book, the fire alum method mainly uses the ratio of sulfur and nitrate, which can only have a small detonation effect.

When black gunpowder actually appeared during the Ming Dynasty, it was missing a key ingredient—carbon.

Obviously, in the Tang Dynasty, people did not realize that gunpowder could be used to make weapons or set traps. For them, the biggest use of this thing was to make fireworks.

Moreover, the purpose of recording this in the book was not to let the imperial doctors and alchemists learn how to make gunpowder, but to warn them that mixing the two ingredients together would cause an explosion and cause danger.

Therefore, gunpowder during the Tang Dynasty was actually far from being used to make weapons and traps, and was still far from being a weapon of war.

There was an explosion trap here. If other people said this was an ancient tomb from the Tang Dynasty, perhaps Liu Jingfeng and the others would have become suspicious.

At this time, Lin Ran calmed down.

Most people would think that the traps in ancient tombs were set up by the tomb owners specifically to deal with tomb thieves.

But have you ever thought about the possibility that the tomb robbers stayed behind to prevent other colleagues from entering?

However, although Lin Ran felt that this was possible, there was currently not enough evidence to confirm his guess.

Fortunately, Liu Jingfeng and others are not ordinary local masters. They have even seen time and space traps in the legendary ancient tombs. Ordinary explosion traps will not scare them.

It was just the explosion in front of them that gave them a wake-up call.

In this ancient tomb, there are not only substances that can cause hallucinations, but also a large number of physical traps.

Even the lavish Wang Jinpeng is now alert and does not dare to move forward without authorization.

But for this kind of trap, Lin Ran couldn't guarantee that he would be able to break it, so he could only stay calm.

After observing the two bridges that had been blown apart in front of them, it was easy to jump over with their skills, but Lin Ran felt that there were other things in the water.

To be honest, when he first entered the yard, he didn't notice that there was water in the pool in the yard.

There was no fishy smell in the water that was blown away just now.

This means that the water is alive, but there is no sign of flowing.

Lin Ran, who was well-informed, also realized that something was wrong.

Everyone looked at Lin Ran, wondering if there were any dangerous traps in this ancient tomb.

Lin Ran picked up a good stone from the ground and threw it directly towards the other side of the bridge.

"when".

The stone hit the ground with a crisp sound.

Lin Ran thought the sound was a bit strange, so he picked up another stone and threw it over. There was still a crisp collision sound.

The sound didn't sound like two rocks hitting each other at all, but more like a rock hitting hollow metal.
