Chapter 176: Opening the Coffin

Is that so?

I thought of the strange death of the prison guard who held my grandfather back then, and said that you actually killed all the prison guards in order to stop me, so you can't appear in front of me openly and tell me what happened?

Uncle Liu was bitter and said that I was also in trouble, and there was no way to show up to tell you the cause and effect, and the prison guard was not killed by me.

"If it's not you, who could it be?" I asked.

Uncle Liu didn't speak, but suddenly with a strange expression, he glanced twice on our faces, and said with a sneer Okay, I have already said what I should say, Sima Nan, how to decide is up to you.

I was silent, and before I could make a decision, I heard Chen Yun's sneer in my ears, "Uncle Liu, you are really good at lying, do you think we will believe you if you make up this kind of story?" ”

Uncle Liu also sneered, and said that I have already finished what I should say, believe it or not, it depends on how Sima Nan decides, and at the same time, I also want to warn you, I don't care what your identity is, and what is the purpose of studying the secrets of Cuba and Shu, it is all your own business, and it is best not to implicate others.

The two of them went toe-to-toe, and the atmosphere suddenly solidified a lot, I looked at Chen Yun, then at Uncle Liu, and said with a wry smile, "Don't discuss this kind of beforehand, Uncle Liu, I believe in you, now please open the coffin." ”

Hearing my words, Uncle Liu moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but he finally held it back, turned around and shifted his gaze to the coffin, and said with a calm face, "This is a seven-star coffin, there are a total of seven openings for people to open, but there is only one real way to open it, once you get the wrong step, the person who opened the museum will be burned by the yin fire, and the coffin will be destroyed naturally, you can't do it like this." ”

Ge Zhuang and I hurriedly asked, "Okay, then old man, how should this coffin be opened?" ”

Uncle Liu didn't speak again, but walked to the vicinity of the pile of corpses on the ground, opened his bag, and found a few octagonal bronze mirrors inside, which were placed on top of the coffin made of meteoric iron.

I stared at it and found that there were a few grooves on the surface of the bronze coffin, and every time Uncle Liu placed the bronze mirror, it corresponded to those grooves.

I was puzzled and stepped forward to study it, "What do you mean by putting out a few bronze mirrors, could it be that you need to use them to open the coffin?" ”

Uncle Liu nodded, shook his head mysteriously, and said that this bronze mirror is just to find out the real location of the mechanism, and there are other things to pay attention to when opening the coffin, so you can stand aside and watch it.

Immediately, he turned back to Ge Zhuang and said, "Fatty, lend me your flashlight." ”

"Why are you going to borrow a flashlight to light it when it's so bright here?" Ge Zhuang looked puzzled, hesitated, and still handed his flashlight to the other party. Uncle Liu grabbed the flashlight, took a few steps back, walked to the first bronze mirror that he had placed in front of him, unscrewed the flashlight, and hit the beam on the mirror.

The eight copper mirrors are inclined to each other, but there is some kind of internal connection, the strong light hits the first copper mirror, immediately reflects out, and then shoots to the second copper mirror, through the reflection of the angle of the copper mirror, it falls to the third copper mirror, and repeats it in turn, and finally all eight copper mirrors are refracted in phase.

When we gathered around, we saw the light beams reflected in the eight bronze mirrors, which were refracted into the image of a colander in the air, Ge Zhuang touched the door of his brain, puzzled, "The person who designed this coffin mechanism in the first place, I'm afraid that he hasn't drunk soup for several days, and he actually made the mechanism look like a soup spoon, is he thirsty?" ”

Uncle Liu was so angry that he wanted to scold him, and said with a shaking face, "Fatty, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, the graphics refracted by these eight bronze mirrors are arranged according to the orientation of the Big Dipper, so call it the Seven Star Coffin, you take a good look, is there a total of seven small eyes under this inner coffin, each hole, can open the mechanism in the inner coffin, but there is only one really right position, press the other six, none of us can leave alive!" ”

We looked at it and saw that the beam of light was refracted by the copper surface and pointed very accurately into a round hole, located in the middle of the seven small holes.

"It seems that this small hole is the real 'dragon's lair'." Uncle Liu breathed a long sigh of relief and asked me to mark the small hole with something, and then removed the flashlight and threw it back to Ge Zhuang.

I was puzzled, "Uncle Liu, such a small hole can't even be stuffed with a crowbar, how should we get it?" "Uncle Liu said Didn't I explain just now, this thing must not be broken by brute force, otherwise the other six fake "dragon's lair" mechanisms will also be touched!

Finally, Uncle Liu walked in front of the seven-star coffin, half-squatted down, looked at me and Ge Zhuang, and then said with a solemn face, "You'd better go farther, so as not to open the wrong mechanism by mistake and affect you." ”

"Uncle Liu, look at what you said, the fat man is not the kind of person who is not righteous! How can you be left alone? Ge Zhuang slapped his chest with an iron sound, and slipped behind the old bell.

Uncle Liu looked at me again and said You don't stay away? I smiled and said Uncle Liu, just open it, I believe you.

He didn't say anything more, and slowly stuffed his little finger into the small hole marked in the middle, the aperture was too narrow, only the nail cover could reach in, and he didn't know how long he waited, only to hear a crisp click, and the lid of the entire coffin shook slightly, and then he saw a thin slit the thickness of a thumb, and the cover had been opened.

Uncle Liu's head was covered with cold sweat, and he slowly pulled his hand out of the round hole and beckoned us to help him push the coffin.

The three of us worked together and began to push the lid of the coffin back, but unfortunately the lid was too heavy, and the three of us almost used our strength to push the lid back less than a centimeter, and our hands were already tired and numb.

"Uncle Liu, this can't work, we have to think of a way, otherwise we will push it little by little, and we won't have to push it until next year?" Ge Zhuang complained.

Uncle Liu waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, the opening of the museum has only completed the first step, and there are still steps below!" As he spoke, he took out a small bottle from his bosom, which contained some transparent liquid, and then saw him pour the liquid from the bottle into the gap that he had just pushed open.

Uncle Liu poured very slowly, his movements were very light, from the gap, along the edge of the lid little by little, the whole process lasted four or five minutes.

After pouring a whole bottle of liquid, Uncle Liu waved at us and said, "Push!" ”

Ge Zhuang and I pushed forward with all our strength, but as soon as we exerted force in our hands, we felt that this cover was different from just now, much lighter than just now, and it didn't take much effort to push the whole cover open, and then there was a loud bang, and the heavy cover fell to the ground.

"Huh? Uncle Liu: What's in this bottle? What a god! I was curious about what was in his bottle.

Uncle Liu smiled and said, "It's just ordinary mercury, this seven-star coffin can only be broken by this, I prepared a lot in the morning." ”
