Chapter 876: Cinnabar Bag

Since there was no danger, the two of us let go of our boldness and quickened the movement of our feet.

As we went deeper, we could faintly feel a very slight burning sensation on our skin, and there seemed to be some kind of acid floating in the air, not only the skin on our bodies was uncomfortable, but even the floor and walls were corroded to be extremely smooth.

The detailed outlines of the reliefs on the walls can no longer be seen here, but you can see protruding round bumps attached to the wall, and in some places you can even see tassel-like melting marks.

I extracted the Yin Qi from the Netherworld Treasure and wrapped a shell around my body to block the acid rot, and Zuo Youdao also condensed my mental power and gathered a layer of pure Yang Qi on the surface of my body.

While Qi fields usually do not have a direct physical impact on real-world objects, they can be used to circumvent acidic particles in the air.

It's just that if the acidity is too strong, Zuo Youdao and I can only withdraw first.

At this moment, the ground under our feet was like oil, and it was impossible to walk on it normally, so the two of us crouched down and slid down the ramp naturally.

Just when I was bending down and squatting, I noticed that there was a very neat row of small holes at the bottom of the road wall on the left, which was difficult to find with the ghost eye alone.

Seeing that the stone walls near Little Confucius were extremely corroded, I could roughly guess that the acids in the air must have been discharged from these holes.

But I don't understand, why did Xu Blind make such an arrangement on the passage for transporting grain, so that the food transported in was in contact with acidic substances, and it was not easy to deteriorate.

Or did these small holes serve as vents in the lower layers in the early years, and then the situation in the underground changed to give out such acidic gases?

After more than 20 meters of sliding down the ramp, the same air holes can no longer be seen at the root of the wall, and the acidity in the air has gradually faded.

By the time the two of us reached the end of the ramp, there was nothing unusual in the air, except for a slight hint of decay.

Zuo Youdao pulled me with his backhand, and at the same time flashed the light in front of him with a flashlight.

He seems to like to take care of the people behind him from time to time, in fact, his main energy now is attracted by the light of the flashlight, and he pulls me with his backhand, which is just a subconscious move.

I didn't grab Zuo Youdao's hand, I stood up and walked over to him.

Zuo Youdao saw me suddenly appear beside him, and was stunned for a moment, and then withdrew his palm.

I said, "You don't have to take special care of me, if we stop and take care of each other from time to time, our efficiency will definitely decrease." ”

Zuo Youdao smiled slightly awkwardly and didn't answer my words.

In my opinion at the time, Zuo Youdao was probably such a person who particularly liked to take care of others regardless of the occasion, and it was only later that I learned that the meaning of their existence was to protect the entire Soul Village, which was equivalent to the family in the Soul Village, or the nursing home, in the early years.

This has led to the fact that the people of the past generations who have kept the right line have taken it as their responsibility to take care of the other two veins of the Soul Village, and this kind of inertial thinking has also extended to other places, take Zuo Youdao as an example, he not only has to protect the other brothers in the Soul Village, but also take into account the safety of Liang Houzai and Liu Shangang.

Zuo Youdao is the kind of person who does everything in every detail, everyone who acts with him, no matter how big or small, he has to take care of it as much as possible.

I'm the opposite of him, I'm used to being very aggressive, and I don't care about small things, and I'm not as careful as him.

But it is probably precisely because of Zuo Youdao's meticulous and gentle way of doing things that the people around him respect him so much. Thinking back to the first time I met Zuo Youdao, I also had the feeling of seeing the big brother next door, and instinctively felt that he was a very good person to get along with.

At this time, Zuo Youdao was striking a flashlight on a tomb door directly in front of him.

The height of the door is about two meters two or three, the top of the door is almost on the ceiling of the tomb, this is a more typical Ming Dynasty tomb door, two open, the door panel is cut with two pieces of bluestone slabs, because there is an outer threshold block, the door crack is slightly bulging outward, it is estimated that on the other side of the door, it should be against the tap stone.

I first took a closer look at the tomb and made sure that there was no mechanism near the door, so I got to the door and tried to push the door panel.

When you just push your palm forward, you can feel a very long resistance, until the tomb door is pushed open a finger-wide slit, and when you hear a "pop", the resistance suddenly becomes extremely stiff, and no matter how hard you push the door panel, you can't move a single bit.

I looked at the situation behind the door through the eyes of a ghost, and saw that a half-foot-deep groove had been dug about a meter from the door to the left, and the long strips of tap stone stood diagonally in the groove, the bottom of the stone pressed against the edge of the groove, and the top of the stone was against the raised stone sill on the tomb door, so that the door panel could not be pushed in the slightest.

To make matters more troublesome, there is also a palm-sized stone platen behind the groove.

If I didn't have this board, I could have stretched out the green steel sword on the left side and pushed the tap stone open, but once the tap stone was overturned, it would inevitably be firmly smashed on the pressure plate behind the groove.

Needless to say, this platen must be some kind of trigger mechanism, and once compacted, the mechanism behind the door will be touched.

It was definitely not possible to push the stone away, and then I took a closer look at the structure of the tomb door.

This door is very strange, there is obviously no stone sill for blocking the door outside the door, but the door panel is topped by heavy running stone, and it will not open outward, I suspect that Xu Blind Man may have moved on the door shaft, because I found that the shafts on both sides of the door panel are specially wrapped with stone shells, and Xu Blind obviously does not want people to see the structure of the door shaft.

Then I took out my trekking hammer and steel nails, and first cut a hole in the door panel, and sure enough, the door panel was only covered with bluestone slabs on the outside, but the inside was copper.

The bonebreaker has never had a problem with this heavy metal, and it is impossible to dismantle the door, so he can only change his mind and work the door shaft.

I took out a carving knife and a small chisel in the shape of a snake spear from my backpack, first removed the stone shell wrapped around the door shaft, and then took out a thumb-sized bell hammer and knocked it on the bronze door shaft a few times.

The hammer heart of this bell hammer is hollow, which is equipped with an eight-sided bell gall and seventy-two magnets, as soon as the hammer falls, the flower bell is shocked, it can make a sound, knock on different mechanisms, the magnet will have different reactions, and the sound of the bell gall is not the same.

I can tell the general structure of the mechanism by the difference in the ringtone.

As soon as the bell hammer landed on the door shaft, there was a slight sound: ding-ding-

The sound was sharp and long, like the wind through the canyon was whispering, I recalled the content of Lu Ban's book, and finally judged that the mechanism structure in the door shaft should be mainly anchored, with the structure of the lock ring.

This construction is characterized by complexity and sturdiness, but it is not too difficult to crack.

Since it is much more complicated to set up such a door shaft than to erect a stone sill outside the door, I am worried that there may be other trigger mechanisms inside the door shaft, so I naturally need to be extra careful when disassembling the door shaft.

Strangely, I didn't find any trigger mechanism in the door shaft, but I found many small cinnabar bags wrapped in thin leather, and I don't know what kind of skin they were, they were very thin, almost translucent, and the small bags wrapped inside were the size of two or three grains of rice, and each bag contained seven or eight grains of cinnabar.

It can be seen that these cinnabars have been blessed, and after so many years, the spiritual charm on them is still very strong.

Zuo Youdao reminded me: "I have never seen such a spiritual rhyme in the domestic industry." ”

I said, "Foreigners don't have the habit of using cinnabar." ”

"During the Tang Dynasty, the Uighurs were influenced by the Tang culture, and some Uighur sorcerers at that time also had the habit of using cinnabar. Wrapping raw hides around cinnabar, such as wrapping them in raw skin, is a common technique used by Uighur sorcerers to seal the aura on the cinnabar. ”

When he said this, I suddenly remembered that during the Tang Dynasty, the Uighurs had made Muni religion the state religion.

The Uighurs perished long ago, but the influence of Muniism in the Central Plains continued into the Ming dynasty.

went around in a circle, and it involved the Muni religion.

I suspect that the reason why Xu Blind Man made so many arrangements on the door was just to establish a magic circle on the door.

Although I have almost no understanding of the magic inheritance of the Muni Sect, the spirit on the cinnabar is peaceful and neutral, and it is used to ward off evil spirits at first glance.

The reason for the existence of this gate seems to be to prevent the contents of the tomb from going out.

Zuo Youdao took out a small box from his backpack and collected all the cinnabar bags I had taken out of the middle of the week.

The formation on the door should not have been formed, otherwise the Qi field around the tomb gate should not be so calm, but we think that these cinnabar spirits are rich, maybe they can be used later, and if they are collected early, they can be regarded as prepared.

I dismantled all four door axes in a row, and then together with Zuo Youdao, I placed the two door panels on the ground smoothly.

Zuo Youdao picked up the flashlight and repeatedly lit the door opening, and I kept observing the scene inside the door.

The weird thing is, no matter how you look at it, this generation doesn't look like it has a mechanism, and if there is no mechanism, what is the pressure plate behind the door groove for?

I finally pretended to be brave enough to enter the doorway, and looked in front of the platen, and there was still grease in the cracks of this platen, and Xu Blind was obviously afraid that it would not be able to start normally in the future life, so he deliberately used grease to ensure that it moved smoothly enough.

This shows more fully that this stone pressing plate is definitely more than just an ornament.

At this time, Zuo Youdao also walked over with a flashlight, he swept the light forward, and said, "Judging from the mechanism map alone, this corridor shouldn't be so long." ”

Indeed, judging from the diagram, the corridor leading to the tomb is about ten meters long, but this corridor is at least more than five hundred meters, because even with the ghost's eye, I can't see the end of it in the dark.
