Hualala...
A large amount of mercury poured in from several holes in the dome of the stone chamber like a floodgate.
"Cough cough..."
Someone in the archaeological team coughed violently twice.
Mercury will evaporate into mercury vapor when exposed to normal temperature air. This mercury vapor is highly toxic and will first infect the respiratory tract, causing burning pain in the throat and coughing.
In more serious cases, it will cause coughing, dizziness, and fainting.
"This mercury is poisonous. Get some water to wet your clothes and cover your mouth and nose!"
Chen Yibai reminded everyone loudly.
Yan Wanlei and others also knew this basic chemical knowledge.
The special service team carried tactical masks with them. They quickly wet the tactical masks and put them on. Although they were not as effective as gas masks, they could deal with it for a short time.
Then again, in this case, there was no need to deal with it for too long...
The few people in the archaeological expert group did not have tactical masks, so they could only wet their clothes with water and cover their mouths and noses.
"What about us? What about us?"
As for Brother Ji and his four younger brothers who were tied up like a string of grasshoppers, they were anxious, saying that our lives are also lives, and we can't just ignore us, right?
"Captain, we've run out of water..."
Xiaohu checked his backpack. He had just been busy wetting his tactical mask with a lot of water and had forgotten about these tomb robbers.
"We... have no water either..."
Wang Haichuan quietly gave Yang Qingyun next to him a look. Water resources are precious now, and they can't be wasted on these tomb robbers.
In the eyes of archaeologists, the degree of hatred for tomb robbers is second only to the murderers of their fathers...
"Damn!"
Brother Ji gritted his teeth and almost cursed, and quickly rolled up his clothes to cover half of his face. Fortunately, Chen Yibai had just used the corpse-suppressing nail to drain a lot of blood, and now the shirt soaked in blood has not dried yet, and the effect should be more effective than water.
It's just that Brother Ji's four younger brothers only wore a pair of flowered shorts.
Mercury vapor is colorless and odorless, but the throat feels more and more itchy, and even has a burning pain.
This made Brother Ji's four brothers panic and they didn't care about the two women in the team.
Now saving their lives is important. Nothing is more important than their lives. They took off their pants in a flash, wet their urine and covered their faces.
"Brother Mao, leave me some, I'm a little nervous, I can't pee..."
"Fuck, I haven't drunk water for a whole day, and there's only a little, and I'm so angry..."
Brother Mao gritted his teeth and tried hard while brewing.
"Woo!"
Yang Qingyun, who was not far away, turned his head, and the headlight happened to shine straight at him, just like the spotlight on the stage. The long worms scared Yang Qingyun so much that he quickly turned his head away and wanted to speak, but he couldn't speak at all with his clothes covering his mouth.
At this time, the mercury that poured in had flooded the entire ground.
It looked like a huge round mirror under my feet.
Especially under the refraction of the flashlight beam, the whole huge stone room was dazzlingly bright.
"The first hexagram, the best hexagram, Qian hexagram! The trapped dragon gets water and finally becomes an emperor!"
Chen Yibai was holding his breath and concentrating, quickly rotating the outer three circles of the bronze Yin-Yang plate, trying the first Qian hexagram among the sixty-four hexagrams in the Book of Changes for the first time!
Qian hexagram symbolizes the sky, with the meaning of "the trapped dragon gets water, and all things begin". It is the best hexagram among the sixty-four hexagrams in the Book of Changes. It is said that Liu Bang became emperor because of this hexagram.
However, when Chen Yibai spelled out the "Qian hexagram", the bronze Yin-Yang plate did not react at all, and the mercury still poured out like a flood.
"Damn! It's not Qian hexagram!"
Chen Yibai gritted his teeth and cursed.
At this time, the mercury had completely submerged the entire bronze Yin-Yang plate on the ground.
"It's over... It's over! It's really over this time!"
Wang Haichuan, who was standing next to him, saw Chen Yibai's face was solemn. The mercury didn't stop until the entire bronze Yin-Yang plate was submerged. The bronze door didn't open. It seemed that the tomb-raiding lieutenant was no longer useful. This time it was really over.
When everyone heard what Wang Haichuan said, they were all in a mess.
"Captain Yan, why don't we gamble on the explosion..."
Xiao Hu gritted his teeth and looked at Yan Wanlei and said loudly.
Now that the mercury has submerged the bronze Yin-Yang plate, it seems that there is definitely no hope.
Since the tomb-raiding lieutenant has no way, it is better to fight again instead of waiting to die here. Maybe there is still a chance.
In fact, Yan Wanlei also thought so, but he didn't nod immediately, but looked at Chen Yibai.
"Fuck! You are all so calm!"
Chen Yibai was a little upset by the noise and scolded.
This is just a trial and error. There is still time later!
Although the mercury submerged the bronze Yin-Yang plate on the ground, the QingChen Yibai has memorized the position of the copper Yin-Yang plate and all the ancient Bagua runes in the three outer circles.
So even if it is a blind operation, it will not affect Chen Yibai at all.
There are a total of 64 hexagrams in the Book of Changes. Because of limited time, it is definitely impossible to try each of the 64 hexagrams.
Since the upper hexagram of 'Qian Gua' doesn't work, then try 'Kun Gua'.
Chen Yibai directly put his hand into the mercury, reproduced the entire bronze Yin-Yang plate in his mind, and began to rotate it quickly.
'Kun Gua' is the second hexagram of the 64 hexagrams. Qian is the sky, Kun is the earth, and the earth is the yin. The sky creates all things, and the earth follows all things to be born.
Taikang worshipped the gods, and King Kang worshipped the Candle Dragon. He did not dare to call himself the sky, but was relegated to the earth and obeyed the gods in the sky.
So from this calculation, 'Kun Gua' is also very likely.
Click! Click!
Under Chen Yibai's blind operation, the bronze Yin-Yang plate under the mercury slowly rotated with a "click" sound, changing from the original "Qian Gua" to "Kun Gua".
The hexagram has been formed!
But what Chen Yibai expected did not happen, and the bronze Yin-Yang plate below still did not react.
This means that the "Kun Gua" is also wrong!
"Gan!"
If Qian and Kun are not right, then what could it be?
Chen Yibai's brain CPU was running fast, almost overloaded and smoking.
At this time, the mercury that poured in had risen to nearly 20 centimeters.
All the people in the entire archaeological team stood on the mercury carefully, looking at Chen Yibai nervously, and did not dare to breathe again, for fear of disturbing Chen Yibai again.
Personal practice has proved that the density of mercury is enough for people to stand.
But this is not a good thing for Chen Yibai.
Now you can still operate blindly, but when the mercury is submerged to a certain extent, once you can't reach it, it will be completely finished.
There are only five minutes left for useful time at most.
Chen Yibai forced himself to calm down, because there was not much time left, and he could not continue to blindly try and error.
Only one correct hexagram can open the Yin-Yang mechanism lock below. Since neither the 'Qian hexagram' nor the 'Kun hexagram' is correct, there must be a hexagram with more special meaning.
Anyway, it is absolutely impossible to use a 'hexagram' as a password at random.
The sacrificial culture of the Shang Dynasty was greater than the sky. Whether it was windy or rainy, or going to war, or even eating a meal, you had to calculate a hexagram first.
So the hexagram is very important to businessmen.
And the hexagram that opens this Yin-Yang mechanism lock must be the hexagram that King Kang wants most!
Continue to explore along this line of thought.
What hexagram does King Kang want most?
The 'Qian hexagram' of unifying the world and becoming emperor is not right, and the 'Kun hexagram' of obeying the gods is also wrong!
"Shine all the flashlights on the surrounding stone walls!"
Chen Yibai shouted loudly.
Maybe there will be an answer on the sacrificial murals on the stone wall!
When everyone heard this, they did not dare to slack off, and quickly raised the flashlights in their hands, and all the beams of light shone on the surrounding stone walls.
Although thousands of years have passed, the huge sacrificial scenes on these stone walls are still clear, without any weathering and falling off, and they are lifelike, as if you were there in person.
It's just that there is no written record.
But after careful study and analysis, these walls on the stone walls are more like a set of comic strips.
First, countless slaves were dismembered, bled, and their internal organs were dug out, and then they were put into bronze gui and bronze tripods respectively. On the altar stood a priest in a long robe, holding a deer head stick in his hand, asking the sky for divination.
In front of him, there was still a figure kneeling on his knees, just like what he saw on the bronze door just now. It must be the owner of this tomb, King Kang!
No!
It's different!
Chen Yibai's pupils dilated in surprise!
Looking more closely, King Kang's figure was blurry, and his legs were not kneeling, but "crossed".
And what was crossed was not legs, but a... snake tail?
Got it!
Chen Yibai suddenly realized.
Legend has it that King Kang used the power of the whole country and spent more than 40 years to build a tomb in order to be granted the title of "immortal" after his death!
Judging from the murals on the stone wall, the legend is actually true!
Conferred the title of immortal, ascended to heaven?
There is such a hexagram in the "Book of Changes"!
But it is not among the sixty-four hexagrams, but a group of hexagrams called "Guixu"!
