The huge jade coffin in the burial chamber is white and warm, and it is as bright as ever. The ancient legend "white bi flawless" refers to white jade, mutton fat white jade belongs to the high-quality varieties of jade, toughness and wear resistance is the strongest in jade, thousands of years into the soil, will not be stained. The white jade is based on the seed material in the Kunlun mountain water system. Kunlun Mountain is the ancestor of the Chinese dragon vein, and the white jade has been soaked in its water system for thousands of years, and the essence of heaven and earth has been exhausted.

As early as 3500 years ago in the Yin Shang period, the seed jade produced in Kunlun Mountain has been introduced into the Central Plains, after the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Kunlun mutton fat jade has gradually become the main jade material used by emperors and princes and nobles in the past dynasties, China's recently unearthed Western Han Dynasty "Queen's Seal" is carved with crystal clear and flawless mutton fat jade.

The seed material of mutton fat white jade is formed by the mountain material falling into the river during geological movement, and then washed by the river for thousands or even hundreds of millions of years. Due to its special formation conditions, its size is generally between sizes, and such a huge jade block as a jade coffin is rare in the world.

The black bull looked at the piece of mutton fat white jade and exclaimed, "If it's a coffin, how can the corpse be put into it?" No matter how you look at this jade, it is a whole piece, and there is not even a coffin lid. Lao Su, I think let's not open it, we can carry it away as a whole, such a large piece of mutton fat jade is enough to shock the world! ”

"Even if you are a Da Luo Immortal, it is not easy to be such a big jade block. And, you take a closer look to see if there is anything unusual under this jade block. "With that, I'll focus the spotlight on the jade block.

The black bull squinted his eyes and found that a strange light was faintly reflected behind the jade more than two feet thick, and exclaimed: "Damn, there is really something in here!" It seems to be faintly moving, it must be mercury or poison gas. Lao Su, if this is a coffin, isn't the corpse soaked in mercury or poisonous gas? ”

I explained, "The strange light you see is probably from mercury, and it's in the mezzanine of the giant coffin. That is to say, the middle of the coffin plate of this coffin is hollowed out, and a mechanism is made into a mezzanine, if the mechanism is smashed by external force, the mercury inside will pour down, and the people around the jade coffin will be spared. ”

"It sounds very dangerous, but if we miss, we'll explain it ourselves. Are you sure to open it? ”

"All you need to do now is to stay quietly and watch my old Su's methods." After all, according to what I did in my previous dream, I am going to use the method of penetrating the sixty dragons to crack the mechanism suspension technique.

Mechanism suspension is a common defensive device in many large tombs in ancient China. It uses mechanical power to skillfully control things to magical effect. The control of the suspension mechanism is often related to feng shui-related formations, although the formations are different, but they are always the same. Just opening the door and opening the coffin are mostly related to the stars, the five elements, the gossip and the number of techniques, and these theories are adapted to local conditions and hidden mysteries.

What is used here is the Sixty Dragons of the Giant Gate Formation. The sixty dragons of the earth are inferred to be close to the vein, which is based on the two mountains as a group, and the five dragons are divided under it, so the twenty-four mountains have a total of twelve groups, and sixty dragons can be obtained. The twelve golden figurines around the jade coffin correspond to the twelve sets of numbers of the sixty dragons that penetrate the earth, and according to the changes in the five elements and the twenty-four directions, it can be deduced which is the mechanism that opens the jade coffin.

I started counting from the golden figurines that Gu Yixin was leaning on, and just counted two, Gao Moli suddenly asked me, "Are you sure you want to open it?" ”

I replied firmly, explaining, "There's a puzzle that has puzzled me for a long time, and now I have to uncover it with my own hands." You don't know how torturous it is to have the same dream over and over again. ”

Gao Moli continued to ask faintly: "In the dream, did you see the people inside?" ”

"That's the mystery I'm trying to verify!" With that, I bypassed Gao Moli and continued to pace forward, counting the golden figurines kneeling beside the jade coffin.

There are some similarities between the situation in the dream and reality, but not exactly. I didn't know what was going to happen next, but there was a hint of anticipation in my heart, and at the same time, there was an inexplicable fear.

If it's fate, sometimes things can't be avoided.

I walked around the jade coffin for nearly a circle, and the more I counted, the more I felt that something was wrong: "Ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen!" The fourteenth golden figurine leaned on Gu Yixin. How can there be thirteen golden figurines, is the number wrong? I counted it twice, and it was still thirteen.

Hei Niu asked impatiently: "Old Su, what are you grinding?" It's all gone around the jade coffin a few times, do you see the way out? ”

"I can see it, this golden figurine, there seems to be one more fucking one!"

When the lights were lit before, I had noticed these gold figurines, two at the front and back of the jade coffin, four kneeling on the left and right, a total of twelve. Now it's thirteen, no matter how you count.

"You must have miscounted! Come, Master Niu, I'll count it to you: one, two, three...... X, Eleven, Twelve...... A baker's dozen! Without waiting for me to speak, the black bull shouted in surprise: "How thirteen! I remember there were only 12 of them! ”

Smoke continued to rise on the bronze ground near the jade coffin, and the smoke drifted in all directions, enveloping the jade coffin in a haze. Thirteen golden figurines stood around the coffin like ghosts, smoke wafting, light and shadow, at first glance, those gold figurines seemed to be alive.

Gao Moli heard us say that there was one more golden figurine, and he was suspicious at the moment, so he counted it, frowned and said: "There is one more, and the formation has also changed." ”

After he reminded me, I realized that the arrangement of these gold figurines had quietly changed at some point, and the arrangement had spread outward from the previous rectangle to a circle. As a result, it is difficult to tell which figurines are more than one from the orientation.

The black bull asked me, "What should I do?" Lao Su, can your ground-drilling dragon formation still work? ”

"I can't match the numbers, how can I use them? One of these thirteen figurines must be a fake, and we must find out first. "I struck them one by one, but each figurine made a crisp metallic sound, and it seemed that this method would not work.

There are only two possibilities for such a strange situation, one is that we ourselves have hallucinated and the extra figurines are fake; The second is that the tomb has undergone a substantial change unconsciously, so that the thirteenth figurine is real, and the structural design of this tomb is completely beyond my comprehension.

I forced myself to compose myself and think carefully about what had just happened, to see if I could find a flaw in it.

At this time, Hei Niu walked up to me and asked suspiciously, "Old Su, did we touch something just now?" Do you notice that this bronze floor seems to be slanted? ”

I was stunned for a moment, and quickly looked, only to see that the bronze ground showed a 30-degree slope, and the huge jade coffin was just above the slope, as if it would slide down at any time, crushing us into meat pies alive!
