Chapter 84: Quicksand Tomb
As for the mural in the back, it seems to show a scene of bitter love! The woman in the painting was unwilling to be summoned to the palace, eloped hand in hand with the person she liked, and after hiding in every possible way, she still could not escape the pursuit of the officers and soldiers; In the end, the man in the painting suffers a brutal decapitation, while the woman is escorted into the palace, and the woman's parents are never seen in the mural again!
The woman in the painting frowned all day after being brought into the palace, although she was deeply loved by the emperor, but her life was not happy! After a long time passed day after day, the emperor finally couldn't stand the woman's indifference and was furious, and sent her into the cold palace!
Later, the emperor fell and the world died; The woman who was beaten into the cold palace came here and became a burial companion in the emperor's tomb! I don't know how many burials there are in this tomb with such a bleak background, because we are currently confined to a small burial chamber, and we don't know how big the tomb is. Pen?

It's just that some other uncomfortable feelings tell me that I seem to have some inexplicable sympathy for the woman in front of me who has spent her life in bleak life; Even though she has become an evil spirit, she attacked us not long ago.
I sighed softly...... After looking at everything on the mural, I didn't find much valuable information! Lin Zi and Hu Qi didn't know when they had begun to rummage through this small tomb, and at a glance, I saw that Lin Zi had already put the only bronze mirror on the dresser that looked like something valuable into his package.
I did not stop what the woods were doing, for this is what we have come for; Although he and Hu Qi have become inseparable friends, we are not "brothers" who have been playing together since childhood. Therefore, I don't object to Lin Zi doing something that is not too out of line behind his back.
I silently recited the transcendent mantra in my heart, although I already knew that the miserable man hanging from the top of the tomb in front of me had turned into an evil spirit at this time; This body is just an empty shell, and the transcendence spell can't have any effect on her, but I still can't help but repeat it, which can be regarded as a sympathy for the tragic experience of this miserable woman!
Hu Qi had been squatting at the position of the stone door on the wall of the tomb and studying something with a flashlight, and this posture had been maintained for about several minutes; "Could it be that there is something strange on this tomb door?" Seeing his motionless posture aroused deep concern in my heart, and I walked gently towards him......
"Don't come here!"
Just as I walked towards him, Hu Qi, who had been motionless in front of the door of the tomb for a long time, suddenly spoke! It's just that he didn't make any other movements other than saying these three words, and he didn't even look at me; From behind, his gaze remained in one spot, never moving.
"Quicksand Gate!"
Just when I was confused because of Hu Qi's inexplicable words, Lin Zi's slightly frightened voice suddenly appeared behind me, which made me feel nervous, it seemed that we were in trouble!
Sure enough, I stood on tiptoe from behind, just enough to see the tomb door on the wall of the burial chamber, and I don't know when a small gap had opened; There is a thin stream of quicksand falling from the top of the door, it can be seen that Hu Qi is very careful at this time, one hand is pushing the stone door tightly, because of the light, I can't see his other hand I don't know what is tinkering in the gap of the stone door?
I know the quicksand door, the general quicksand door is above the entrance of the tomb as a mechanism; A compartment is placed above the tomb door, and dozens or hundreds of tons of yellow sand are loaded on top of the compartment; When the tomb robber opens the tomb door, it will trigger the mechanism hidden above the tomb door, and the yellow sand on the partition will flow into the tomb immediately, burying the entire tomb and the tomb robber in the yellow sand. Thinking of being buried by dozens or hundreds of tons of yellow sand in an instant, and I didn't even have time to dodge, my heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
According to the common method, you only need to fix the partition at the top of the tomb door, so that the quicksand cannot fall down through the partition! However, the premise of this method is that there must be a space above the tomb door that is large enough to accommodate one person, otherwise you can only dig out a space on the tomb door little by little, and then find a way to fix the sandwich partition in the back to prevent the quicksand from leaking.
It's just that the quicksand gate here seems to be different from what I've seen before; Because the outline of its mechanism is mounted at the bottom of the stone door, and the body is deflected at a certain angle, I only discovered this problem.
There is a raised place under the stone door of the burial chamber, like an arc-shaped hard stone, like a stone wedge; According to the principle of quicksand tomb, this arc-shaped stone wedge is like a card strip on the current security door; As soon as your door closes, it will be crushed back into the ground, which in turn will stop the quicksand from leaking down. When the door opens, it pops out of the ground, pulling the trap and causing quicksand to leak down.
But at present, a gap has been opened in the stone gate, which should be caused by Hu Qi's attempt to open the door before he found the mechanism! I saw that one of his hands was pushing the stone door desperately, and the other hand was pressing down the protruding stone wedge, and the beads of sweat on his face were dripping to the ground.
The reason why he didn't let me and Lin Zi go over to help was very simple, because he couldn't be distracted to pay attention to me and Lin Zi at the moment, and all his attention was focused on his own hands; The slightest hint of discouragement from the outside world could lead to the tragic end of quicksand falling and burying us forever in this gloomy tomb!
Although Lin Zi and I were very anxious, in order not to affect Hu Qi, we couldn't come forward to help, for fear that we would help by accident; He could only stand behind Hu Qi to soothe his breath, staring at the raised stone wedge under Hu Qi's hand without blinking!
Under the leakage of green muscles, Hu Qi used his strength to press the bump under his hand to the ground little by little; It can be imagined that he is fighting against the sand above our heads at this time, and the difficulties are self-evident, watching the bumps on the ground fall down little by little, and my heart and Lin Zi's hearts are also hanging high, and our eyes can't leave the position of the bump......
