Chapter 181: Trap Eyes
Hearing the words of the Kuling Daoist, Duanmurui moved his gaze to the red coffin with some fear and asked, "What's wrong with this coffin?"
The people of Kuling Dao said as a matter of course: "When you encounter a coffin, of course you have to open it and take a look!"
"What!" Duanmurui was surprised, in this somewhat gloomy environment underground, it was already a terrible thing to encounter a coffin, but I didn't expect the people of Kuling Dao to want to open the coffin lid.
Duanmurui suddenly said angrily to the Kuling Daoist: "Why are you like this, you have to make up your mind about this coffin that carries the remains of the ancients."
Kuling Daoren rolled his eyes, "What about me, that's what we do, that's what we do, is there anything inappropriate?" ”
Duanmurui sneered: "Aren't you afraid of retribution? What if someone in the future destroys your grave coffin like this after you die? ”
Hearing Duanmurui's words, the Kuling Dao people spread out their hands and said indifferently: "Destruction is destruction, people die like lights out, everything has nothing to do with me, life is in the world, all kinds of unsatisfactory and troubles are enough, if you have to think about things after death, wouldn't it be too tiring, what is the meaning of living." Besides, isn't cremation already popular now? ”
Hearing the words of the Kuling Dao people who were a little scoundrel, Duanmu Rui was speechless.
Kuling Dao people love you and didn't care about Duan Murui's attitude, walked to the side of the mahogany coffin, put the flashlight at his feet, and greeted Ye Feng: "Young man, come and help."
Ye Feng, who was not interested in the content of the argument between the two, heard the words of the Kuling Daoist and saw his gaze asking for help, hesitated for a moment, and still stepped forward.
When the people of Kuling Dao saw Ye Feng coming, they immediately smiled.
The two stood at both ends of the coffin, one after the other, grasping the lid of the coffin at the same time and lifting it up forcefully.
With a seeping crunch, the lid of the coffin was slowly lifted by the two of them.
Duanmurui, who was a little frightened in her heart, not only turned her head, but also closed her eyes tightly.
The people of Kuling Dao and Ye Feng worked together to remove the coffin lid from the coffin and put it on the ground. The moment the lid of the coffin hit the ground, a large cloud of dust filled the air.
The Kuling Daoist stretched out his hand and fanned the dust flying everywhere in the air, then picked up the flashlight and threw his eyes into the coffin together, and Ye Feng's eyes on the side also swept to the inside of the coffin.
A light "huh" came out of the mouth of the Kuling Daoist, and his gaze at the coffin was a little strange, because in the coffin except for some burial objects, there was no body, not even a single bone.
The Kuling Daoist frowned, flipped into the coffin, flipped it casually, and muttered: "There should be no corpse in this coffin, otherwise there would be no traces at all, so why did this coffin appear here?" ”
Ye Feng, who was standing next to the coffin, just glanced at the things in the coffin casually, and then looked away, except for some rotten cloths in the coffin, and some bottles and cans that were too old to work, there was nothing particularly attractive.
As if he was looking for an answer to the doubts in his heart, the people of Kuling Dao began to rummage at the bottom of the coffin, and then there was a clanging sound.
Duanmurui heard the voice, slowly opened her eyes, and saw that Ye Feng was standing in front of the coffin, while the Kuling Daoist had already jumped into the coffin, revealing only one upper body, hunched over and looking for something in the coffin. Duanmurui slowly moved behind Ye Feng, and asked with some curiosity: "Ye Feng, what's in there, what is he looking for?" ”
Ye Feng replied: "There are only some burial goods in it, and I don't know what he is looking for." ”
"Aren't there any human bodies in there?"
Ye Feng shook his head, Duanmu Rui saw this, so he was bold, came to the coffin, looked inside, and sure enough, he didn't find anything terrifying, so he asked the busy Kuling Dao people, "What are you looking for?" ”
Kuling Dao replied without raising his head: "Secret." ”
When Duanmurui heard this, she was a little unhappy and said, "Don't talk about pulling down, I don't want to hear it yet." ”
Hearing Duanmurui's angry words, the Kuling Daoist stopped what he was doing, turned around to look at Duanmurui and said, "You misunderstood, I didn't mean that, I mean I'm looking for the secret of this coffin." ”
Hearing the words of the Kuling Daoist, Duanmurui also realized that he had misunderstood, his face was a little embarrassed, and he quickly changed the topic: "The secret of the coffin? What secrets can a coffin have? ”
Kuling Daoist replied: "Didn't you just say that the coffin is used to carry the body, but there is no trace of the body in this coffin, so it should have other functions." ”
"That's not necessarily, isn't there still a mound of clothes?" Duanmuri retorted.
"Isn't that the answer I'm looking for?" After speaking, the Kuling Daoist turned around and continued to rummage in the coffin.
Duanmurui didn't speak again, and waited with Ye Feng on the side, and soon, the surprised voice of the Kuling Dao people sounded, "Found it!" ”
Ye Feng and Duanmurui hurriedly leaned over to the coffin, looked inside, and found that at one end of the coffin, close to the coffin, there was a bronze ball, which was divided into two sections, and there was a bearing-like thing in it, and the scales were drawn around the ball, and the people of Kuling Dao were kneeling in front of the ball at this time.
Duanmurui asked, "What is this?" She and Ye Feng both looked puzzled.
The people of Kuling Dao stared at the small ball intently, and replied in their mouths: "This small ball, we call it the trap eye, this trap eye can be traced back to a long time ago, and was used by the craftsmen at that time as a starting device for the secret passage darkroom mechanism, of course, it has different shapes, and it is not necessarily spherical. If you find it, it means that there is a high probability that there is a space like a secret room passage hidden around. ”
Hearing the words of the Kuling Daoist, Duanmurui was a little eager to try: "Then hurry up and try it!" ”
The Kuling Daoist nodded and said, "Don't talk yet." With that, he bent down, put his ear to the trap eye, grabbed the trap eye with both hands and began to turn.
Seeing the behavior of the Kuling Dao people, Ye Feng and Duanmurui also pricked up their ears, wanting to hear if there would be any sound coming from the turning of the machine eye, but the two of them didn't hear anything.
After turning to a point in the forward direction, the Kuling Daoist stopped, and then began to reverse again. After repeating this nine times, suddenly there was a rumbling sound in the corner of the stone room, and Ye Feng and the Kuling Daoist who stood up quickly shone the flashlight in his hand to the corner of the wall where the sound was made, only to see that a stone slab there automatically moved away, revealing a dark hole.
Duanmurui shouted with some excitement: "There is really a passage!" ”
The Kuling Daoist jumped out of the coffin, walked to the entrance of the cave, and took a picture of the cave, this time there were no steps in the cave, only a pit about one meter deep, and then the bottom was extended horizontally.
The Kuling Daoist said to Ye Feng and the two: "This passage should be the road leading to the outside world, or the center of the underground palace, the most important area, otherwise such a secret mechanism would not be set up, even if ordinary people find the mechanism eye, they will not know the way to activate the mechanism." ”
Hearing the words of the Kuling Daoist, Ye Feng nodded, "Then let's go in, it's been a long time, and we must hurry up and find a way out." ”
Hearing Ye Feng's words, the Kuling Dao people and Duanmu Rui nodded in agreement, so the three of them prepared to continue to move forward, it was still the Kuling Dao people who took the lead, he was the first to jump off the hole, and then bent down slightly and walked forward with a flashlight.
Ye Feng grabbed Duanmurui's arm and sent her down, and then jumped down himself.
The height of the cave is about one and a half meters, and all three of them need to bend forward, but Duanmurui is slightly easier.
This time, the three of them didn't travel for long, and after more than ten minutes, they came to the end of the road, on one wall of a huge stone chamber.
The entrance of the cave where the three of them were located was close to a height of three meters from the ground, which might not be anything to the people of Kuling Dao and Ye Feng, but for Duanmurui, she couldn't go down alone no matter what.
Ye Feng said to the Kuling Daoist: "You go down first, I'll send Teacher Duanmu to your shoulder later." ”
Hearing Ye Feng's words, the Kuling Daoist nodded, first illuminated the situation below with a flashlight, and after making sure that it was safe, he jumped lightly and jumped down, and when he landed, he didn't make much noise. Then he shouted above the mouth of the cave, "Come on, I'm already standing, let her down." ”
Hearing the words of the Kuling Daoist, Duanmurui first sat down at the edge of the cave, Ye Feng held her palm tightly, and then Duanmurui began to move down slowly, just when her outstretched palm was level with the surface of the cave, her foot stepped on the shoulder of the Kuling Daoist.
Then, the Kuling Daoist grabbed her ankle and slowly squatted down to sit on the ground, and then put Duanmurui down.
At the same time as Duanmurui landed, a black shadow happened to fall to the ground, which was the last Ye Feng.
After the three of them landed safely, they began to observe the situation in the stone chamber.
The people of Kuling Dao and the flashlight in Ye Feng's hand found that this space was about two hundred square meters in size, and there was a tightly closed stone door at the bottom of the three sides of the space. The entrance to the cave that Ye Feng and the three of them climbed out of was on the upper right side of a stone gate, and this stone gate was facing the only side without a stone gate, but there was a semi-cylindrical platform built against the stone wall, about four or five stories high.
There was a square black shadow on the top platform of the high platform, and when it fell on it, the flashlight could not shine on it, and it was impossible to see what it was. The three of them slowly walked along the surrounding stone walls towards the high platform.
