Chapter 183: The Key
When I picked up the blocks on the ground, I realized that the lines on the ground should have started from the middle of the original number of squares.
I stared at the coffin vigilantly, according to my calculations, these black blocks should have some connection with the coffin in between, now that these black blocks have been moved, there is a high probability that the coffin will change.
But by the time I fixed my eyes on the coffin in front of me, nothing unusual had happened.
"Is it because there's still a block that I haven't picked up?" I stared at the coffin and muttered to myself, and I immediately walked towards the last corner left.
When I got to that corner, I picked up the blocks that were piled up inside.
Through the dim light, I could clearly see that Qian Lao's face became more and more solemn, staring at the coffin tightly.
As soon as I picked up the third square, my face suddenly became serious, and I stared at the coffin in front of me.
The only thing left in the air was the sound of the wind and the sound of breathing between me and Qian Lao, and there was no movement.
The coffin remained the same, without any movement, and the three layers of the coffin were the same.
I couldn't help but exhale, took two steps closer to the direction, and my brow furrowed unconsciously.
It doesn't make sense.
According to my reasoning, these squares in front of me should be inseparable from the coffin.
Why did these three black squares have no effect on the coffin?
Qian Lao's heart probably had the same question, and his eyes looked up and down at the three-layer coffin.
These three layers of coffins are all stone coffins, and the surface has also been corroded by water vapor, and there should have been carved patterns on the coffin, but now you can only see a little bit marked on it.
I let out a slow breath and searched my eyes up and down, to be honest, I hadn't seen this coffin properly since I stepped into this tomb.
As for this coffin, the moment I stepped into this burial chamber, I adopted a strategy of avoiding it.
After all, this is a wizard's tomb, there are too many evil things, and the previous altar is not as important as a coffin, it is enough to kill people, let alone be here.
Now, when I looked carefully at the coffin in front of me, I suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and there seemed to be something in each of the three layers of the coffin that were separated from the top, middle and bottom.
It was a flat thing, and it was not clear what it was used for, but it was definitely not a stone slab for the upper and lower layers, because the thing it was sandwiched was a small stone disc located in the side corner of the three-tiered coffin.
The stone shards appear to be one centimeter thick, and the stone looks relatively hard, except for the signs of water vapor corrosion on the surface, but it may be due to the obstruction of the coffin, and it is not serious.
I squinted and leaned in, and when I saw the disc, my eyes narrowed.
"I see!"
In the center of this stone disc is a square pit, the size of which is just right for the square we are holding!
These things are supposed to be locks, and the block in our hand is the key to open it!
"Old Qian, come here, it seems that some kind of change will happen when this square is placed in this place."
I shouted at Mr. Qian, and suddenly Mr. Qian looked at me along my line of sight, and when he saw these three stone chips, he couldn't help but nod.
"That's right, the three stone shards correspond to three blocks, as long as you place this block on these stone shards, you can immediately open the corresponding mechanism."
"But there is one thing, I don't know if there is any order in which these organs are placed, if they are placed rashly, the risk is too high."
Qian Lao glanced at the stone in his hand, then at the stone fragment, and said slowly.
Actually, I've already thought about this, if I just put this stone on it, it would be too simple to open the mechanism.
Judging from the witchcraft of the tomb owner, and the danger designed along the way, it is absolutely impossible for people to open the mechanism so easily.
I'm afraid that if you want to open the mechanism, you really have to follow some sort of placement order.
If I'm not mistaken, the lines that can be faintly seen on this sarcophagus are probably the key to unlocking the mechanism.
If that's the case, it's a real headache, because under the corrosion of the moisture, there is no trace of any one in ten.
It seems that Qian Lao also guessed something, and his hand quietly stroked the remaining lines on the sarcophagus in front of him, and his face was not very good-looking.
Qian Lao was stroking one side, and the other side seemed to be thinking, but after a moment, Qian Lao shook his head.
"Regardless of this, the lines on this are too bad, and it's impossible to get clues from them."
"Let's try to be lucky, although the probability is lower, but it's not nothing!"
Listening to what Qian Lao said, I silently calculated in my heart.
Now there are three blocks corresponding to three slots, and if you think of these three slots as numbers, there are only six possibilities for the three slots to be arranged.
The six are not too cumbersome, and you can find the results quickly by trying them one by one.
It's just that we don't know if something else will happen if the temptation fails, and if what happens is something we can bear.
But after he thought about it for a moment, I nodded slowly, as if there was no other way but to try us.
Now that my right foot is completely unconscious, if I delay any longer, even if I leave the tomb, I will not have enough time to find someone to translate what is written on this jade slip.
After Qian Lao glanced at me, I slowly put the two squares in my hand into the two slots on the top of the coffin, and after Qian Lao put the square in his hand into the last remaining slot.
At the moment when the block was put in, Qian Lao and I immediately took a few steps back with a tacit understanding.
Before we could stand still, the coffin in front of us began to shake violently.
With a violent sound shaking, the whole coffin seemed to collapse, and my eyes were slightly condensed, staring closely at the coffin in front of me.
As the coffin vibrates, corroded rocks continue to fall on the edge of the coffin, and it intensifies.
The slightest tremor made my only conscious foot tingle, and then I quickly lifted my right foot, which was now in a petrified state.
