地宫亡命探险

5.玉璇玑

众人又走了一段，终于看到了停放在墓室正中间的棺椁。王大亮大步上前，推开棺椁上盖，发现里面没有骸骨，只有一些几近腐朽的衣物。他心里极为不满，用手里的工兵铲把衣物翻得七零八落。

正在失望之际，一声脆响传来，王大亮循声看去，原来工兵铲磕到一枚比一元硬币大一点儿，周围有锯齿的玉佩。王大亮把玉佩拿在手里仔细察看，眼里渐渐放出光来：“玉璇玑！战国时期的玉璇玑！”

看王大亮得意的样子，姜芳悄悄问修文：“玉璇玑是什么啊？”

修文看了她一眼，说出了玉璇玑的故事。很早以前，原始部落里有个男人喜欢看星星。他发现有一颗星星始终高挂在北方，可以给人指明方向，这颗星星就是北极星。

起初，他寻找北极星要花很长时间，不久，男人发现北极星永远处于“开阳”“左枢”“帝星”三颗星星的中间。男人就在手镯上做了记号，固定好三颗星的位置，以后他就能根据手镯上的刻度，很快找到北极星。而这种手镯就是最早的“观星仪”，也是“玉璇玑”的雏形。

后来，那个男人远行，妻子在家等他。日子一天天过去，妻子请部落里的玉工做了一件“观星仪”，每当星星降临，把它举在眼前，久久地望着那颗像一粒寒冰似的北极星。男人最终没有回来，妻子临死之前，将“观星仪”放在胸口。

从那之后，人们就把这种“观星仪”叫做“玉璇玑”。玉璇玑有一个共同点，璧的外缘有三个翘牙。

姜芳听了，动情地说：“好感人的故事……”

6.意外结局

王大亮把玉璇玑握在手心，大呼道：“哈哈，看来这次真是不虚此行啊！”没等大家反应过来，王大亮已经从口袋里掏出一把手枪，志得意满地说，“我不是什么王队长！我此行的目的就是为了找到文物，卖到国外，那是要发大财的。可是我读书太少，进入墓穴难度太大，上一次我就失败了，还差点儿丢了性命！你们应该记得，前面墓室里死的那个人，就是我的同伴！他进了墓室就发了狂，我却逃了出去。出去之后，我原想找专家……谁知踏破铁鞋无觅处，得来全不费工夫，在路上遇见了你们。”

修文听了，轻蔑地说：“于是你利用我们，破解了墓室的机关。为了取得我们的信任，你故意走在最前面，至于落入陷阱，都是你提前设计的吧？”王大亮道：“不错，这一切都是我设计好的。”

修文道：“你有没有想过，这里并没有出现墓主人遗骸，那这里应该是主人故意布置的疑冢。主人引我们到这儿，就是为了对付盗墓者。”似乎应了他的话，此时，头顶上“哗哗”流下一片细沙。大家心里一惊，修文大喊，“积沙机关！”

积沙机关无非就是在墓穴顶部放置大量的沙土，只要盗墓者触动机关，会很快被沙土掩埋。这种机关道理很简单，但布置起来相当耗费人力物力，除了名门望族，一般人家根本没有财力布置。普通的机关暗器时间久了一定会生锈失效，而积沙机关永不失效，几乎是所有盗墓者的克星。

王大亮有些惊骇，但他还是稳住情绪：“现在跑出去还来得及，不过，你们永远没机会了！”说完，他举起手枪，众人正在绝望之际，他嘴里忽然发出一声惨叫。原来不知什么时候，王大亮身上已经爬满了噬菌蚁，他无谓地挣扎着，很快就倒地不动了。

此时沙土纷纷从上面落下。修文三人飞奔出了墓室，找到进来时的尼龙绳索，顺利地爬了出去……墓室外面，姜芳问修文：“噬菌蚁怎么会单单咬死王大亮？它们不是已经离开了吗？”修文“嘿嘿”一笑，道：“你忘了，噬菌蚁是谁留在这里的！墓穴主人既然能养它们上千年，就有办法召唤它们。”

“召唤？”

“对！我想墓穴主人一定是在这块玉上做了能够引发噬菌蚁攻击的机关，从而引发它们对王大亮的攻击。”

李心田问：“你是怎么看出王大亮有问题的？”修文说：“刚进去的时候，我看王大亮对楚国文化的基本知识全然不了解，就心存怀疑，后来我看他肆意破坏棺椁，就更加肯定他不是什么考古队长……”

经历了重重险境，更加坚定了三人保护文物的决心。古人有着无与伦比的智慧，可是这些智慧遭遇今人的贪婪，显得那么苍白无力。

第二天，他们写了一份考察的详细报告，用邮件发给了国家有关部门，很快得到有关部门的回复。一个月后，一支一百人左右的考古队伍进驻了这里，对这里进行长达半年的保护性发掘。从那时起，三人也成了考古队的正式成员。经过大半年的发掘，一批战国初期的壁画出土，一起找到的，还有那枚价值连城的玉璇玑。

另外，从考古部门得知，当初的确在边境上截获了一批从江城出口的文物，与王大亮所述不同的是，当时跑了两个文物贩子，后来确定，逃跑的二人就是王大亮跟李胖子。二人贼心不死，又回来盗窃文物。

可惜人算不如天算，两个坏人虽然逃脱国法的制裁，却最终死在古墓之中，也算是天理循环，因果报应。

Introduce:Jiangchen of the bearer on 1. river has an ancient ground, there is a great river on the side of ancient battlefield, the name is called out fall Chun Jiang. Annual in July, this one belt often rainstorm frequency hair, mud-rock flow cause disaster, road often is destroyed accordingly. This day, fall Chun Jiang upper reaches floats come down balsa of a bamboo, 3 youths sat on bamboo balsa, this 3 people are southern what some university archaeology fastens is big 3 students, call Xiu Wen, Jiang Fang and Li Xintian respectively. They want to rent the plane of summer vacation, undertake making an on-the-spot investigation to ancient battlefield. But judged liaison man because of mud-rock flow block, they are not willing to forgo this opportunity again, made bamboo balsa then, adventure from fall Chun Jiang is entered. Get on for destination soon, a megalith appears in awesomely at the moment, bamboo balsa resembles losing pilot bronco to be on surface dash around madly, wanted haul to had had not enough time, 3 National People's Congress cries, bamboo balsa avoids without can avoid the ground bumped to go up when …… repairs article leisurely to awake, him discovery lies in tent. He just should rise, was prevented by an unfamiliar and middleaged man however. Middleaged person is eagle-eyed, give a person a kind of intelligent and capable sense. Xiu Wen is touching the head that still has some of ache, ask: "Where is this? They two how? " middleaged person self introduction path: "I call Wang Daliang, it is the header of an archaeology team, you live in my tent now. Here discovered barrow, we come here undertake protection disentombs. We also are in if it were not for by chance river side, you it is early that 3 people are afraid of was drowned. " look at frail Xiu Wen, wang Daliang asks again, "Well, this is seasonal, you dare sit bamboo balsa suitable river and below, not awful? Do you come here dry what? " the reason that long article says to palpability comes here briefly, wang Daliang listened, laugh bright and clearly: "The archaeology that you learn is professional, so we are a person of the same trade! " actually, helping 3 people early when, wang Daliang was informed 3 the individual's identities from student's identification card. Much this asks, it is for test they, listen to long article to reply according to the facts, he gave up thoroughly the doubt in the heart. Before long, li Xintian and Jiang Fang also woke. Hearing is the life that Wang Daliang saved him, they come over to thanks. Wang Daliang places the line that place a hand: "Wither need not. If you want to thank me really, the rank that joins us! " Xiu Wen they are stupefied, wang Daliang explains then, "Actually, we are the advance parties of archaeology only. Summertime road damages, greater part team should ship heavy machine equipment, the ability after wanting a month at least comes! Our advance party has two people only, hand is not worth …… badly " the word did not say, jiang Fang promised gladly to come down: "Good, good
