Chapter 170: Mercury Locks the Golden Coffin

As we approached the steps leading to the bottom of the pit, I began to see what the rain was like in the air.

Strictly speaking, the 'rain', or mercury, did not fall from the air, but from the edge of the pit above, and while the mercury was sliding down, I could also see that there was some kind of sewer-like opening on the steps where the mercury was collected.

The mercury gathered and went down, and then slowly went up through some kind of device again, and the things that looked like pumps to transport the mercury to the top of the stone cave made me very curious, and I was also a little surprised in my heart, so I turned to Elder Feng and said, "Do anyone come in to maintain these things regularly?" ”

Elder Feng shook his head at me and said, "It's been a long time since anyone has come in, and this place is a forbidden place for our Sword Sect. ”

Hearing her say this, I was immediately surprised, and exclaimed, "Could it be that these things have been used until now, what kind of technology do they need?!" ”

As soon as I finished saying this, I suddenly remembered Ma Chengcheng, a long time ago, when we were in the underground space of Dazhai, she was also like me now, no matter what novel scene she saw, she would feel extremely surprised, and couldn't help but scream, and more importantly, what she wanted to do most was to understand how these mechanisms were formed, and what kind of ingenious means they had.

Thinking of this, I was a little flustered, but I quickly drove the memories out of my mind, and I knew that what I could do now was not to remember the past, but to live with all my might, and then live a little better, as for finally finding Sanxue Lingji, to see how Ma Chengcheng was.

I very much hope that in the end I will find the special forces, and after that, just like the pranks in the past, when I find Sanxue Lingji, Ma Chengcheng will come up to me from not far away with a smile and say, 'You have been deceived, in fact, I have nothing to do. ’

How I wish this scene wasn't just my imagination, and how I wish my sister could stand in front of me safe and sound, no matter how hard it was to find her.

I really, very much hope.

Wait carefully to avoid the mercury that falls like rain, although this thing looks very beautiful, but in fact, I also know that it is not as peaceful as it seems on the surface, mercury is highly poisonous, once it is stained, it is easy to invade the body through the skin, I don't want to be hurt by mercury on the steps before I see the real treasure of the knife gate.

I thought that as we went deeper and deeper into the pothole, the scenery around it would get darker and darker so that we couldn't see everything clearly, and we even took out a flashlight prepared in advance, but at this moment, an unexpected situation happened, as we went lower and lower, but we didn't know as if someone accidentally triggered which mechanism, only to hear a boom and a loud noise, and at this moment, I saw that the stone cave above my head was gradually getting bigger and bigger as if opening a window, and as the cave above my head got bigger and bigger, The real sunlight that belonged to the outside of the cave gradually spilled in.

It was through this burst of sunlight that I gradually saw what existed at the bottom of the pit, and it turned out that the mercury was not as I imagined, and it was all pumped up, and indeed a small part of the mercury was collected and rose to a high place and then slowly dripped down, but there was more mercury that gathered at the lowest part of the whole cave as if it were gathering into a pool.

As I got closer, I was stunned by the scene in front of me, only to see that it was at the bottom of the big pothole...... A lake made of mercury!

Around the lake of mercury are sculptures that I can't name, there are a lot of them, but there is a strange thing about them, all of them are facing the lake, and there are several huge chains out of the lake, which look as if they are pure gold.

It is these chains that reflect the sunlight, so the golden light around the cave is reflected, from a distance, it looks like the golden sky is as gorgeous, I look at the beautiful chains is a little strange, it stands to reason that the reason why the chains extend into the mercury lake, the existence may only be to hold up the things in the lake, so why do all the statues around them face the mercury lake?

Thinking so, I cautiously touched it, and as I got closer, I suddenly began to secretly guess that maybe the chains were indeed to hold up the things in the water, and the statues around the mercury lake may also have been destroyed by man, in fact, there was nothing between the two, I turned my head to look, and saw that there was a rope on one of the statues, the rope was broken, and the other end of the rope was connected to the bottom of the lake, I was a little curious, so I shouted, Let Elder Wind and them come together to help me pull up the rope and see what I can pull out.

At this time, Elder Feng and the others were not far behind me, and the distance between them and me was not very close, and just as they were gradually approaching me, I suddenly noticed that the chains and the statues attached to the chains behind them did not seem to be for the purpose of holding things up as I imagined, because the taut state of the chains made me feel that it was very likely that the real purpose of these chains was not to hold things up, but to lock things up, which was very difficult to say. But it was actually because I saw that the so-called end of the chain was not a living turn, but a nailed one.

I remember seeing a well in the countryside a long time ago, and there was a rotating knob on top of the well to make it easier to pull up the bucket, and it was clear that the sculpture I saw before me did not serve the same purpose, because although the knob on it had a rope attached to it, the rope was nailed.

I sensed in my mind that it was very likely that the sculptures were not being artificially swung inward, but that they were just pointing towards the lake of mercury.

Mercury, chains.

It's very likely that these things are meant to seal the existence of the mercury lake!

So what exactly is in the mercury lake? I immediately sensed the danger and wanted to retreat, but I didn't know why my feet slipped and I immediately threw myself forward, and at this time, my whole body had fallen on the nailed rope and the years of adulthood have eroded this choice, although it looks very stout, but in fact it has long been not so strong, and I pounced so lightly, and it was directly broken.

And at this moment, the rope that I suspected was to lock the things in the mercury lake also began to drag the chains up rapidly, and in the midst of the rumbling sound, something at the bottom of the mercury lake suddenly appeared.

Exquisite reliefs, elegant lines.

Ingenious and exquisite.

It was a work of art like no other.

It was a golden ...... Coffin Chun.
