Outside the door, Lan Zui and Yu Chen were arguing, but inside, Zhong Shu and Wang Fugui cooperated happily and skillfully.

Both of them are veterans with experience in the underground, and they know how deep the underground roads are, so they don't need to speak, they can wink at each other, and they can understand each other's mind like partners who have cooperated for a long time.

Therefore, no sound was made, and the breathing rate was held to the minimum. From the moment they stepped into the Seven Stars Gate, the two of them moved to the left and the right, with the crystal coffin in the center of the tomb as the boundary point, holding a huge wolf-eye flashlight. Saber, carefully searched to both sides.

He didn't touch any objects inside the door, and he had to try every step before stepping forward.The actions of Uncle Zhong and Wang Fugui looked like a black and white slow-motion pantomime popular in the Middle Ages to those outside the door, silent and a bit funny.

But the two people inside the door didn't think it was funny. Their wolf-eyed flashlights kept scanning the darkness in front of them, mentioning any crisis they missed that would lead to a fatal disaster.At the same time, even though the two were mature and stable, they couldn't help but marvel at the area illuminated by the flashlight, so that Wang Fugui began to doubt his own judgment - so luxurious and exquisite, could it be a fake master room?

After the two of them walked through every inch of the tomb, and waited for a long time without seeing any abnormal noise, they reached out and gestured to the people outside the door to enter, and then they walked back to the crystal coffin at the same time, squatting halfway. Check carefully with a flashlight.

Lan Zui and Yu Chen were close together, and immediately entered the tomb as soon as they saw the gesture.The tomb is still filled with a smell of meat.The seven-star gate seemed to be quite well sealed, and they couldn't even smell the smell when they stood outside the gate.But after entering, the smell of the meat being roasted or even scorched on the fire suddenly poured into Lan Zui's nose. Lan Zui was stunned for a moment, then remembered what it was like, and immediately changed his face, and turned his head to do it. Vomit.

Although Yu Chen's complexion was not very good, after all she endured it, she followed Wang Fugui and squatted beside the crystal coffin, and asked softly, "Uncle Wang, is it really the owner of the tomb?"

Three strong flashlights were directly shot at the crystal coffin at close range, and the crystals appeared colorful and extraordinary due to the refraction of the light.At first glance, the crystal coffin was slightly blurry, and the crystal material was not as transparent and free of impurities as the seven-star gate outside, but after getting closer and looking carefully, Yu Chen discovered that the crystal coffin actually had two layers.However, the two layers of crystals did not prevent the contents of the coffin from being seen clearly. Half of the corpse in the coffin was soaked in a light yellow transparent liquid, and it was a relatively well-preserved wet corpse of a woman.The female corpse has long hair tied up in a high bun, and still maintains the exquisite hairstyle when it was put into the coffin. Because of the long-term soaking, the original color of the clothes can't be distinguished, but the basic style can be seen. A robe worn by nobles.But the most eye-catching thing that makes people unable to take their eyes off at the first sight is not the complete body of the female corpse and her dress style that represents status, but the gem-studded hair crown on the female corpse's hair , neck, chest, waist, and ankles, and the bottom of the coffin under the layer of light yellow liquid is even covered with a layer of round and clear pearls the size of an index finger. These pearls are almost the same size and soft. The white reflects a faint halo, even the liquid can't hide its good appearance.

"Uncle Wang, this is really not the owner of the tomb?" Even though Yuchen had already seen the outline of the coffin outside the door, when he looked at it carefully, he still couldn't believe it.

With Yuchen's eyes, it can be seen that there is not a single item in the coffin that is defective, let alone a fake.Anything inside is priceless in today's antique market, enough to make people crazy!

"It's good, isn't it?" Wang Fugui pouted, and sneered twice: "It's not good enough to make people crazy? It's not good to make people lose all reason and recklessly lift the lid of the coffin? The organ cannot kill anyone!"

"But where is the mechanism? This coffin is completely transparent, and the copper wires and machine springs can't hide the whereabouts and trajectory at all."

Wang Fugui nodded, but instead of answering Yuchen's words, he asked Uncle Zhong who was opposite him: "Old Dong, do you see anything?"

"Old Wang, why do you still want to test me?" Uncle Zhong squatted where he was, and said to Lan Zui, who was bending over and panting, "Xiao Zui, don't throw up. Come here quickly, and I'll tell you about the things in the coffin." Road."

Lan Zui had roughly gotten used to the smell of burnt meat in the tomb, resisting the urge to vomit and crouched next to Uncle Zhong, humming, "Talk about it, don't hold back."

"This coffin has two floors, you can see it." The other people who were brave gathered around the coffin one after another, and those who were timid stood guard outside the door. coffin, with greedy eyes.Uncle Zhong gave them a hard look, and said, "If you don't want to be a barbeque, don't move your claws. Be honest. This mechanism is simple to say, it's in the interlayer between the two layers of crystals."

"An ancient book records a kind of mechanism in the tomb, called Phoenix Nirvana. The name sounds good, but whoever meets it will die. This kind of mechanism is not a mechanism, but the ground and walls of the tomb are covered with a low-flammable and non-volatile substance. Fuel will catch fire immediately when it meets air, so the process of painting is extremely cruel. It is necessary to lock a large number of workers carrying fuel in the tomb, and then seal the door outside. After the tomb door is sealed, the indoor workers open the sealed fuel, and then put the This kind of fuel oil was spread around the tomb chamber."

"This kind of fuel burns when it encounters a fire, isn't it..."

"That's right. At the beginning, there were only a few places to smear. After half of the tomb was smeared, the workers had nowhere to stay, so they could only stand on the ground where the oil had been smeared and burned to death." Uncle Zhong continued expressionlessly: " Moreover, the burning of fuel oil requires air, so the tomb will gradually form a vacuum state due to oxygen combustion. This is why there are a large number of workers. They must rush to paint the entire tomb before they suffocate. When the oxygen in the tomb is burned, The entire tomb will form a vacuum state, and the fire will naturally be extinguished. But if a tomb robber enters the tomb later, as the air flows in, the interior of the tomb will burn again, burning the tomb robber alive, and at the same time Everything will be buried in the sea of ​​flames, and I would rather burn everything than let my body and funerary objects fall into the hands of grave robbers."

"Isn't this a bit like Fuhuo Tomb?"

"It may be the same kind, but Fuhuo Tomb is mainly used to deal with tomb robbers. Once the gas in the tomb is exhausted, it is useless. It is a one-time use. The Phoenix Nirvana is even more tragic. It means Nirvana and rebirth, but it works. It is a fact of mutual death, and the owner of the tomb would rather have no bones left than be insulted by the tomb robbers, so the records in that book are used in the tomb of a general with a strong personality."

"Then you mean that the kind of fire just now will only burn once, and it will be useless later?" Most of the people in the crowd obviously didn't focus on the principle of this mechanism, they only grasped one point they wanted ——Whether it is Fuhuo Tomb or Phoenix Nirvana, they cannot be used after the fuel is burned out.

As soon as these words came out, Professor Chen's three subordinates and the two men from Beimeng immediately became excited. Even Ji Leopard, the Yu guy, and Ji Watermelon, the blue guy, couldn't help but beam with joy.

"A group of idiots! Now is the best time for you to learn from experience. You are thinking about money, money, and tools all day long, so what's the point of success!" Face also disliked that rotten wood can't be carved, and his face immediately became long: "Keep your claws, if the mechanism is a one-time thing, I'll be a fart!"

"The mechanism in this tomb is modified from the Phoenix Nirvana, but it is more vicious and comprehensive than the Phoenix Nirvana. Instead of directly smearing the fuel in the tomb, it pours it into the tomb bricks. If we decided to dig another robbery just now, in case the fire As far as the part of the tomb brick with fuel, once a chisel goes in, we will all be burned to death in the robbery hole. As for this crystal coffin, it is just a bait. As you have all seen, the crystal coffin is actually two layers, the inner layer is the coffin, and the outer layer The first layer is the coffin. When the tomb robbers entered the tomb and saw so many jewels, their intuition was to lift the lid of the coffin. Once the lid is moved, it will affect the mechanism between the coffin and the coffin."

"How can there be a mechanism? It is completely transparent, and there is no mechanical spring or copper wire at all!"

"Uncle Zhong, the mechanism you are talking about is the water between the inner and outer coffins?" Lan Zui and Yu Chen were the closest, and they listened most carefully to Uncle Zhong's explanation.Lan Zui kept staring at the transparent crystal coffin, and finally discovered the clue.

In the interlayer between the inner and outer coffins, there is a layer of transparent liquid with a level similar to the yellow water in which the corpses were soaked in the coffins.Because it is a transparent liquid, and there is yellow water hidden in the coffin, it is very difficult to find.In the liquid, Lan Zui also found a few transparent filaments thinner than hair, which smelled like spider silk. They connected to the coffin lid at corners and other places that were not easy to find, and went down to the crystal at the base of the coffin. Taiwan.

Seeing this, Lan Zui almost understood the principle of this mechanism: "As long as the coffin lid is lifted, the silk threads in the coffin lid will be pulled, and the mechanism embedded in the ground will be pulled, and the fuel in the tomb bricks will flow out. Bar?"

"Mostly right, there are actually three steps in this mechanism. The first step is bait. With so many treasures, it is impossible for no tomb robbers to turn a blind eye and remain unmoved. The second step is the liquid between the coffin and the inner chamber. These liquids should be extremely volatile. , when it meets the air, it will catch fire immediately, and the tomb robbers around the coffin will be caught off guard. The third step is the silk threads in the liquid. One of these silk threads involves the Seven Star Gate, and the door will be closed when it touches it. On the other hand, the tomb bricks are involved, and the plug is pulled to let the fuel flow out of the tomb bricks. When the plug is pulled, the coffin lid will automatically be pulled back to its original position by the silk thread, saving the fuel in it and continuing to use it next time. This tomb is not just a door, Even the wall on the top of the tomb is covered with a layer of crystal, so even if it is burned many times, it is not easy to leave traces, unlike ordinary tombs that are easily blackened by flames."

"From opening the copper door to facing the seven-star door, it's been a game?" Yu Chen shuddered and said palely.

"Yes, this mechanism is not complicated when it is opened, but it has been fully considered in terms of human psychology, skills, efficacy and reusability. The only shortcoming is that these mechanisms were burned before You can’t distinguish the original bones.” Wang Fugui pointed to the pile of black charcoal that was pasted on the ground and couldn’t tell what it was, and sighed: “But when faced with the gems on the door and the jewels in the coffin, who would go to see them? Pay attention to these dark ghost things on the ground? If it weren't for Briggold's appearance, we would definitely die!"
