Volume 2 The Evil Tomb Chapter 6 The Ancestors Blessing
"Hey! You haven't said what you're laughing at, hurry up and explain! What the hell are you laughing at? Am I saying something wrong? Yu Qian didn't give up, dragging me and shaking it constantly.
I still just smiled, and then asked her: "You have touched this door for a long time, have you touched a crack in the door?" β
Yu Qian shook her head and said, "No, it's like a whole piece, there is no seam at all." So, this is definitely the reason why the strongest strip of top door stones is held up, and it is possible that two top door stones are used. Therefore, I suggest that we go back first, get some explosives, and blow this door open. β
"Anyway, it's remote, it's basically uninhabited, and it's underground, so no one will know if you can't make any noise."
I glanced at her and said, "I know your family has a background, and it's easy to get some explosives." But, as you say. It's in the middle of nowhere, it's basically uninhabited, and no one will find out if we die. β
"Dead here? How can it be? It's just a small amount of explosives, blowing up a hole, how can you die? Of course, Yu Qian didn't believe it.
I pointed to the puddle not far behind me and said to her, "Don't forget where we are." It's underwater, but the water can't get in, so there must be some kind of pressure device here that isolates the water. You're a bomber...... Can you guarantee that you won't be stoned to death in the water? β
When Yu Qian heard this, her pretty face turned white, and then she smirked at me.
"I was wrong, I listened to you, what you say, let's do it!"
"It's pretty much the same, anyway, you remember, this tomb has a Yin and Yang Nine Wrong Que Palace Diagram, then it's definitely not an ordinary tomb! Even if it's not a genuine picture, but whoever dares to use this picture, it's not simple! I walked to Yu Qian's position, touched the tomb door, and emphasized this point to Yu Qian again.
In fact, when Yu Qian's flashlight shone up, I saw my eyebrows. On this seemingly monolithic tomb door, those extremely delicate pattern reliefs are actually part of a picture of the Yin and Yang Nine Wrong Palaces that have been magnified countless times.
Let's be more detailed, that is to say, this door is equivalent to one of the nine squares of the Yin and Yang Nine Wrong Palace Diagram!
If it weren't for my familiarity with this image, I wouldn't have been able to recognize the enlarged portion. Therefore, the key to opening the door may be on this diagram.
Yin and Yang Nine Wrong Que Palace Diagram, isn't there a key to nine wrong footwork? The Nine Wrong Footwork is Qimen Dunjia Technique, which is said to be organic. This door is estimated to be set by the mechanism of the Nine Wrong Steps.
Thinking of this key, I also suddenly became enlightened. In fact, the Yin and Yang Nine Wrong Palace Diagram does not have to be three-in-one to be complete, and every part of their separation is a classic, a well-known classic full of wisdom.
Tricks, Qimen Dunjia, this is the most widely circulated classic in ancient times, but how many of these are not included in the Nine Wrong Steps? If you master the Nine Mistakes, you will be able to crack most of the tricks. Even if you are not included, you can solve one or two with nine mistakes. After all, the tricks are all basically the same, they are all physical knowledge.
Now that I understand this relationship, I don't have to think that the picture of this mausoleum is a fake picture, and I can't open this mausoleum in the way of a real Yin and Yang Nine Wrong Palace diagram. I can just let go and do it, and just do it in a real way of diagramming.
Convinced of this idea, I became confident and began to look for a hole in the door. Although there is a real picture to protect it, but the trick of the mechanism is not single, there are thousands of mechanisms, and the ghost knows what is used here.
Moreover, there is absolutely no way to leave a door to the mausoleum, and it is impossible for anyone to want their grave to be brought in after death. Therefore, the remaining mechanism is absolutely dead, unsolved, and there is only one purpose from beginning to end, that is, it is locked.
However, there is a saying in the Nine Wrong Footwork that as long as it is a mechanism, it cannot be an absolute dead pass. There is always a relative way to crack all tricks, and everything is relative.
Therefore, as long as you find the locking mechanism of this tomb door, you can find the corresponding way to crack it.
While I was struggling to explore, Yu Qian was bored, sat down by the water, and nibbled on dry food. To be honest, I hate it a little, I taught her if I knew it, so she also had a headache, and I don't have to bear it alone.
Just as I was working hard, Yu Qian suddenly screamed behind me. I was startled, and when I turned around, I saw that she jumped on my back and hugged me tightly.
"What are you doing? Shocked, trying to scare me to death? β
Yu Qian tilted her head, hugged me with one hand, pointed to a white-flowered rock by the water, and said tremblingly, "Die... O dead man! β
I was stunned for a moment, and walked over with her on my back to take a look. Sure enough, the white-flowered rock was actually a skull. And under the shallow water, attached to the skull, there is also a skeleton that is also white flowers.
"Dead with only bones left, what are you afraid of? I've been digging graves for so many years, and I've never seen human bones? I sneered and shook off Yu Qian.
Yu Qian smiled stupidly again and said, "Isn't this coldly startled?" People are girls, and it's understandable to be timid. β
"But it's a ghost, since you've come down with me, you'd better be enlightened. Not to mention such a skeleton, maybe after the tomb is opened, you can encounter some rotting corpses, zombies, wet corpses and the like, those are called disgusting, only terrifying. β
As soon as I finished speaking, Yu Qian said: "Those are not terrible, that is called a real mausoleum, and that is valuable." Like this, at first glance, he is a ghost who died unjustly, and he stayed here to be a lonely ghost, and he was cold and scary. β
"That's right, this person's body was left here, and I don't know if it's a burial companion of the ancient tomb......" I squatted down and looked left and right at the white bones, puzzled.
And before I finished speaking, Yu Qian threw out a sentence: "What burial with you?" If you look at this bone, you can see that it is a modern person. This guy must have been a tomb robber, but the tomb was not stolen and died here. β
"How do you know he's a tomb robber?" I don't agree with that, why should I say that tomb robbers are so cheap.
Yu Qian didn't hear my dissatisfaction, but pointed to the body under the bones and said, "Look at his chest, what is that?" Arrows! This guy must have triggered some kind of trap and was shot alive! β
I also noticed that behind the bones lying on his side, a black, rusty arrow was piercing his chest. And it's not just this one, there are several arrows in his neck, thighs, and waist, but they don't penetrate it.
"This man has been dead for at least ten years, and no one has shot anyone with an arrow at that time, right? Even if there is, no one is so frustrated as to shoot so many arrows, right? If there is, no one should shoot him on the leg or waist, right? These places don't seem deadly. Therefore, it must have been shot indiscriminately and shot alive. Yu Qian walked around to the front of the skeleton and pointed to the arrows and said to me.
"I suspect you chose the wrong major in the first place, you should go to the detective school and enter the police academy!" I'm pretty speechless about her, and I can explain a lot to a corpse, am I really stupid to that point? Can't tell he was shot by the trap?
"This mechanism is not only locked, it also seems to have an anti-theft device. And it's very ruthless, just the door is the practice of putting people to death. But it's understandable, this mausoleum is buried here, and it's not a good thing to be able to find it...... Belch... We are good! I looked back at the door of the tomb and was filled with emotion.
The door to the tomb was white, but it was surrounded by black-brown rocks, and who knew where the arrows came from. Now that I'm going to the door to study it, I'm a little timid.
However, Yu Qian didn't seem to know that she was afraid at all, and she had already touched it before I spoke, looking excited, as if she had to find a mechanism.
I was forced by her to do nothing, so I had to touch it too. But this time, I didn't dare to touch this door casually, even Yu Qian, I strictly ordered her to stop touching it. If we are really lucky enough to touch the anti-theft mechanism, then we will become a hornet's nest.
After getting to the back, the two of them stared at the door for half an hour, and they didn't see anything wrong except for a palm-sized depression in the lower right corner of the door. Even if it is a depression, it can be regarded as a natural shedding, and for the whole door, it is not painful.
Yu Qian was obviously an impatient master, and after half an hour, she kept muttering and walking impatiently in front of the door.
I was almost annoyed by her, and tried to talk about her several times, but each time I put up with it. In the end, she suddenly said: "You said that you have studied all the maps so thoroughly, why can't you even crack a small mechanism?" If it doesn't work, I'll pry it open! β
Her words immediately reminded me of something. And when I was thinking deeply, I saw that Yu Qian actually raised a huge rock with both hands and smashed it towards the door.
I was so frightened that I shouted, "Don't! β
But it was too late, Yu Qian had already smashed the rock on it.
"Boom!" There was such a strange sound coming from the door, like a drum. Hearing this voice, I finally confirmed my conjecture. But I didn't care about this at this time, I rushed up with an arrow step, hugged Yu Qian and pressed her under me.
And at this critical moment, there was a sudden "boom" sound from the two brown rocks next to the door, and a row of black things shot out rapidly.
This thing is a trap arrow!
There are trap crossbows in the stone walls on both sides, and once the trap is triggered, it will activate and shoot several rounds in a row. If I am not mistaken, I am afraid that this arrow is also stained with poison.
Yu Qian also heard the sound of arrows shooting, and she didn't dare to breathe when she was pressed by me. And I, obviously, felt a cool breeze on the top of my head, on my back, and arrows were constantly flying against my flesh.
Finally, I was slightly relieved that the arrow stopped galloping. But Yu Qian under him, just arched like this, arching with me, as if she was ready to stand up.
I was terrified by her again, and I pressed hard, trying to overwhelm her again. But just as I pressed her against the ground, the second round of arrows came, and I didn't have time to lie down myself.
A sharp arrow "snapped" through my arm that was standing on the ground and pressed Yu Qian, and after the arrow pierced, it made a "buzzing" sound, and I instantly felt a miserable pain like an electric current drilled into my heart. The arm instantly lost strength and fell on Yu Qian's back.
The arrows continued, and the second round was half as long as the first. I barely managed to dodge the lowest arrow when I fell, but I don't know how many wounds the arrow had scratched on my head and back. The itching and burning sensation is worse than death.
Finally, the second round of arrows ended. But I didn't have the strength to get up, and Yu Qian seemed to be frightened and didn't dare to move again.
"Are you going to be pressed like this by me all the time?" I couldn't help but remind her that it should be over after the second round.
Yu Qian slowly got up, and it wasn't until I saw her face that I realized that this guy was already crying.
She was so guilty that she almost slapped herself, and she cried and scolded herself while pulling out an arrow and bandaging me, which made me want to laugh.
After bandaging, I rested against a rock, and Yu Qian sat next to me, not daring to speak.
It was embarrassing, so I had to mention the mechanism and explain it to her.
Actually, this mechanism is a very simple anti-theft mechanism. This is the device that triggers the mechanism, which is a dual-acting mechanism of gravity and leverage.
Once the faΓ§ade is affected by gravity, whether it is smashing, prying, chopping, or hitting, it can trigger the lever inside the door, which will trigger the crossbows on both sides to fire arrows.
The missing piece of the door foot must have been done by the skeleton before he died, so he was shot dead. But we walked here for half an hour, and we didn't find a single arrow that fell off, which means that the traps on both sides also have devices to receive arrows fired from the opposite side, and recycle them, and there will never be a shortage of arrows unless they are all shot at something.
A mechanism with such a device, as mentioned in the Nine Wrong Steps, triggers a second or even a triple boost. This is why I didn't get up in the first round, and when Yu Qian arched up, I was scared half to death by her.
After explaining, Yu Qian was even more sad, because it was certain that she had harmed me. But I didn't blame her, she didn't know after all.
But then again, when I go back, I have to incense my ancestors and kowtow. Because the arrow itself is poisonous, but, so far, I have not been poisoned. Maybe it's too old and the toxins have volatilized. So, I picked up a life, of course, I have to thank my ancestors for their blessing!
