Although the ancient locks are exquisitely manufactured, most of them have only one tooth buckle because there is no modern technology, so basically the key of the ancient lock has only one tooth, unlike the modern key on both sides, which is less than seven or eight, and more than a dozen teeth.

In other words, if you find a key point, you can open the copper lock.

Almost everyone around them held their breath and didn't dare to disturb the person who was trying to pick the lock with wire, because listening to the sound was also a crucial step.

After about ten minutes, the man pulled the wire out of the lock.

"How?"

Xiong Maolin, who had been holding back for most of the day, immediately asked impatiently.

The man wiped the beads of sweat on his head, but nodded with a somewhat affirmative expression, and said: "Dashuai, if I can't guess, the problem shouldn't be very big, a typical Changping lock." ”

Hearing this, although Xiong Maolin didn't understand what it meant, Yang Zhending subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Changping lock is one of the ancient locks, very typical, the more typical the easier it is to open, because the basic principle of this copper lock is the same.

When the words fell, Yang Zhending's subordinate took a probe claw, broke one of the claws alone, and then borrowed a knife to cut a gap in the claw, and after a long toss, an imitation of a seemingly crude key was displayed in front of everyone, and finally carefully inserted into the copper lock.

"Click......

Once successful, when the 'key' is inserted into the keyhole, there is a very crisp 'click' sound immediately.

Listening to this sound in everyone's hearts, it felt like opening a door to life, and everyone's hanging hearts were relaxed.

Under Yang Zhending's gentle nod, the huge copper lock was carefully opened, and everything was fine.

The crowd was excited, and even desperate to open the door and leave this hellish place.

Only Yang Zhending didn't completely put his mind at ease, because Yang Zhending always felt that something was not quite right, and the lock was much easier to open than he expected.

Or are you too sensitive and cautious?

"Second master, will you open the door now?"

At this time, one of his subordinates looked at Yang Zhending and asked cautiously.

Why do you have to ask more questions when you open the door? Because in ancient tombs, some of the most common mechanisms are designed on doors. After all, there are traps on the high walls on both sides of the Tianbao Dragon Fire Glass, and it is normal for this door to have traps, as soon as the door is opened, the trap will be triggered immediately. This is all basic common sense, and everyone understands it, which is why they ask so much.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? The locks are all open, what can you do if you don't open them? ”

Before Yang Zhending could speak, Xiong Maolin immediately said a word beside him, with a bit of urgency in his tone.

Because in the sky above the entire Xunwang Mansion, from time to time from the second courtyard came the terrible cry of ghosts and wolves, which were all from the dozens of meat dumplings that deceived the corpses, and the sound seemed to have become more now, maybe the rest of the coffins were all blown up in the 'massacre' just now.

Under this atmosphere, Xiong Maolin, whose face was pale and sweating all the time and had never stopped, longed to grow a pair of wings and fly out from here.

Since Xiong Maolin was 'sucked' by a female ghost once, his courage has obviously become much smaller.

Yang Zhending even doubted that with Xiong Maolin's current state, he would be able to survive to find the emperor's coffin.

Yang Zhending looked at Xiong Maolin's eyes, nodded and said, "Dashuai, this door looks like solid wood, it should be very heavy......"

Before Yang Zhending could finish this sentence, Xiong Maolin immediately took over the words and said, "Even if the solid wood can weigh?" There are so many of us, even if this door is golden, I can carry it out with a lifter! ”

After speaking, Yang Zhending looked at Adjutant Liu beside him again, and said solemnly: "Let people go over and open the door!" ”

"Yes, Dashuai!"

Adjutant Liu immediately responded and arranged for fifteen people from a squad to go over and open the door together, but Adjutant Liu himself hid far away. It can be seen that the current Adjutant Liu is a little smarter than Xiong Maolin.

It is also said that Xiong Maolin is not only weak in yang and weak in body, but even his IQ has been affected to a certain extent?

Under the order of Adjutant Liu, more than a dozen people who were called out of the team walked in front of the wooden door, first removed the wooden bolt more than two meters long, then stood on both sides and began to push it out vigorously.

The doors of the ancient courtyard are very interesting, the front door is open inward, and the back door is open outward. Because the back door is outward, it is impossible for the owner of the mansion to enter through the back door under any circumstances, so there is this design, although this is a small detail, but it is also a knowledge point.

Quack Quack ......

Quack Quack ...... Rattle......

As more than a dozen people pushed out, the huge wooden door in front of them rattled and rattled, and the sound was very loud, as if the wooden door had not been opened for thousands of years, so it became very tight.

Although Yang Zhending said that this wooden door was heavier just now, the main purpose was to let Xiong Maolin send his own men to open the door. Even if there is any mechanism on this wooden door, it is Xiong Maolin's cannon fodder subordinates who die first.

In fact, this wooden door is indeed very heavy, and more than a dozen people are standing on both sides and gritting their teeth and pushing it out very hard.

Quack Quack ...... Quack Quack ......

As the crack in the door opened wider and wider, the sound grew louder and louder.

Yang Zhending couldn't wait to look out from the crack in the door that was opened, and the back of the door was pitch black, and there was still an endless vast cave like a netherworld.

One soldier was the first to stick a lit candle out of the crack in the door.

Call......

But as soon as he put the candle out of the door, it was immediately blown out with a 'whew'.

It's not a ghost blowing a lamp, it's a wind outside!

Yang Zhending clearly felt that a gust of wind mixed with the smell of blood came from the pavement at the moment when the door was opened.

"How can there be wind in an almost completely sealed space? Along the way, the candles lit in the tomb would not move! ”

Yang Zhending felt very surprised by this, and at the same time, he instantly thought of the dead leaves in the garden behind him. And then I thought of the phrase 'the wind sweeps away the leaves'!

Whoa......

That is, the next second when Yang Zhending just realized this, he suddenly heard a 'bang' sound behind him.

It was still the sound of dead leaves colliding with each other, although Yang Zhending had heard this sound twice, but this time it was the loudest, like all the branches in the flower beds on both sides were shaking violently at the same time.
