"Corpse array? What's that? Hearing what Li Huiyan said, I asked with some doubts, it was really the first time I had heard this kind of thing.
"The so-called corpse arrays are some formations set up using some corpses in ancient tombs, which are not recorded in historical materials, but there are relevant records in some ghost-catching sects like Maoshan." Li Huiyan said.
"Xiao Yan, you know so much." I applaud it from the bottom of my heart.
"I just happened to see a similar record, and I couldn't remember it for a while, but the corpse array we saw in front of us wasn't very powerful." Li Huiyan said.
"Isn't that great? What does that really powerful corpse array look like? I was surprised.
In my opinion, this corpse array is powerful enough, taking out the bronze mirror will cause a corpse transformation, and although not taking out the bronze mirror can temporarily save his life, there is no way to open the secret door.
If I hadn't happened to bring the ghost-faced spider into the ancient tomb, and used the tough spider silk spit out by the ghost-faced spider to bind the body inside the coffin, I am afraid that any group of tomb robbers would have to be confessed here.
"The corpse array in front of you is just a trick, the really powerful corpse array can easily have hundreds of corpses, but it can make thousands of troops fall into it and wipe out all the troops, far from the corpse array in front of you can be compared." Li Huiyan thought for a while and said.
"Isn't that a bit too exaggerated?" I said with some jaw-dropping.
"Maybe it's a bit of an exaggeration, but it's enough to show the power of the corpse array." Li Huiyan said.
Some people may say that the corpse array is not so powerful at all. If you act quickly, first use the bronze mirror to open the secret door, and then put the bronze mirror back in place while the corpse in the coffin has not completely transformed, there will be no problem.
What's more, while the corpse in the coffin has not yet completed the corpse transformation, leaving the tomb through the secret door as soon as possible can also live.
I can only say that this idea is a bit whimsical, since ordinary people can think of the problem, how could the tomb builders who built the mausoleum back then not think of it, let alone go to great lengths to design such a corpse array.
At this time, the bronze mirror has been inlaid in the groove by Li Huiyan, and as far as the eye can see, the edge of the copper mirror and the groove are tightly sealed, and the gap in the middle is almost so small that even an embroidery needle cannot be inserted, let alone take it out, which is simply impossible.
Even if the bronze mirror can really be taken out, presumably the opening speed of the secret door will definitely not be too fast, at least it will not be opened until the corpse is completely transformed, otherwise the design of this corpse array will be meaningless.
The bronze mirror had been embedded in the groove by Li Huiyan, but the movements in her hands suddenly stopped, and she seemed a little afraid to do the next move.
Whether the bronze mirror rotated to the left or right made Li Huiyan a little embarrassed.
If the correct way to turn the bronze mirror is to turn to the left, and we choose to turn to the right, it is hard to imagine any unforeseen and horrific result.
Although it was only a slight turn, there were nine living lives at stake in his hands, and even a person like Li Huiyan, who was decisive in his daily life, became hesitant.
"Zhang Sansan, if you don't come, I'm a little weak-hearted." The palm of her hand hung above the bronze mirror for a long time and did not move, Li Huiyan finally withdrew her palm and said with some embarrassment.
Hearing this, I was also a little embarrassed. If it was in normal times, I wouldn't hesitate to do anything, but now the situation is different, and the slightest mistake may cause everyone to be trapped here, and I can't afford this kind of responsibility.
"Xiao Yan, you can rest assured that you are bold, even if something goes wrong, no one will blame you." I said to Li Huiyan.
"That's right, Sister Lizi, it's going to be turned anyway, so I'll bet on it once if it's a big deal." Xiao Yue said.
"Sister Xiaoyan, there's nothing to hesitate about." Dong Shuang also said.
At the same time, others also spoke up to persuade her, meaning that no matter what the outcome was, she would not be to blame.
With everyone's persuasion and understanding, Li Huiyan finally gritted her teeth and nodded, and said, "Okay, let's make a bet, do you say it's left or right?" ”
"It must be to the left, don't the elderly say that the left eye jumps wealth and the right eye jumps disaster, and the right side must be unlucky." Xiao Yue immediately said that she was comfortable with this kind of crooked reasoning.
"I also think it's more likely to be on the left." Dong Shuang said.
Of course, there were also different opinions among several people, for example, Qin Gong felt that it would be better to turn the bronze mirror to the right, but in the end, the minority obeyed the majority, and Li Huiyan still decided to turn the bronze mirror to the left.
With a slight force in her palm, Li Huiyan turned the bronze mirror with almost no effort, and every time she turned, she could hear a series of clicking sounds in the stone platform, as if she was winding something.
The bronze mirror had turned for about half a turn, and there was no way to rotate it again, and the clicking sound in the stone platform continued, and it sounded much louder than just now.
We don't know what the final result will be, whether the turned bronze mirror will open the secret door hidden in the tomb, the only thing we can do is wait quietly.
If the secret door is not opened, or if something unexpected happens, I am afraid we will have to accept our fate.
On the other side, without the bronze mirror, the corpse in the coffin was transformed again, and it looked much more serious than the first time.
Countless blood-red mist shrouded the coffin and the stone platform, and we had to retreat to the side for the time being, hoping to leave here through the secret door before the corpse inside the coffin was completely transformed.
After nearly ten minutes, the clicking sound in the stone platform continued, but there was no sign of the tomb door opening in the tomb, but the corpse in the coffin was almost finished.
As the corpses in the coffin continued to change, the temperature in the tomb suddenly dropped by nearly ten degrees, and the already cold tomb was even more uncomfortable.
Fortunately, thirteen or fourteen hours had passed since we had fallen into this ancient tomb, and our soaked clothes had already been worn dry, so it didn't make people feel too cold.
"Sister Lizi, why haven't you reacted for so long, could it be that the direction of the bronze mirror was reversed just now?" Xiao Yue shrunk her neck and asked Li Huiyan.
"I don't know, let's wait and see, there is still a sound in the stone platform, and we will know the result in a while." Li Huiyan said.
"What if it does turn the other way around, or we might as well take the opportunity to turn it back." Xiao Yue said whimsically.
"It's not that easy, go and see for yourself if you can find the bronze mirror now." Li Huiyan said with a wry smile.
When Xiao Yue heard this, she ran to the back of the stone platform stupidly, and ran back after a while: "Sister Lizi, that ...... The bronze mirror was gone. ”
Li Huiyan obviously expected this to be the result, so she didn't say anything, frowning lightly at the mist-shrouded stone platform.
I hesitated slightly, and then walked in the direction of the stone platform, and Li Huiyan's voice came from behind me: "Zhang Sansan, what are you going to do?" ”
"I'll see how far the corpse in the coffin has become." I said.
The fact that the secret door in the tomb has not been opened for a long time really makes me a little worried, if the corpse in the coffin has been completely transformed, it will undoubtedly be a time bomb for us.
No one knows how dangerous the corpses in the coffin will be after the corpse transformation, if only those living figurines are like that, but if it is as powerful as the white-haired zongzi and green-haired zongzi we saw in the Baiqi tomb, then we have to think of other ways to deal with it.
At this time, the ghost-faced spider is no longer in an adult state, and its body has become only the size of a basin, and I don't have the slightest confidence in whether such a level of ghost-faced spider can beat the corpse after the corpse transformation.
After approaching the stone platform, a strong smell of blood came into the nose, which made people a little uncomfortable.
The fog that enveloped the coffin was like a living thing, and as I approached the coffin, it automatically carved out a path, allowing me to easily stand on the stone platform and see what was inside the coffin.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, my heart suddenly cooled half at this look, and the golden jade clothes that originally covered the corpse have been shattered into countless jade pieces, revealing only a shriveled corpse.
Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but feel a little sorry, it was a pity that such a well-preserved gold-threaded jade robe was destroyed like this.
My gaze only stayed on the golden jade robe for less than two seconds before I instantly looked away, it was a pity that the golden jade robe was destroyed, but now was not the time to care about these things.
As far as the eye could see, the shriveled corpse that was exposed after the golden jade clothes were torn was covered with blood-red fluff, like steel needles.
As the corpse transformation continued, the few spider threads we used to trap on the corpse were also very tight, and some of them were even strangled into the flesh of the corpse, giving people the feeling as if they could be broken at any time.
What made people feel even more numb was that the corpse in the coffin had opened its eyes at this time, and its hollow red eyes were looking at me in a daze, giving me goosebumps.
Seeing this scene, I already have a rough idea in my heart, but I am afraid that the corpse transformation is nearing the end, and our next situation will become even more difficult.
After a few glances at the corpse in the coffin, I jumped off the stone platform again and said to everyone: "The corpse mutiny is almost over, and if the secret door is not opened, we will be in danger." ”
Hearing this, everyone's faces changed greatly, and no one wanted to see this moment coming.
But everything is a fact, the secret door was not opened, but the corpse took the lead in completing the corpse transformation, and our little life was almost no longer in our hands.
"Zhang Sansan, how happened to the spider silk tied to the corpse, has it been broken?" Compared with everyone, Li Huiyan was a relatively calm one, and after thinking for a while, she lowered her head and asked me.
"The spider silk has not been stretched for the time being, but the golden jade clothes have been damaged, and if the corpse transformation is completed, it is only a matter of time before the spider silk is stretched." I said.
It's not that I didn't think about asking the ghost-faced spider to spit out more spider silk to wrap the body inside the coffin, preferably to wrap the whole body into a mummy, and the reason why I didn't do it was purely for the sake of our next actions.
None of us knows where the secret door will lead when it is opened, and if nothing else, it will lead to another tomb.
We have already encountered so many dangers in this ancient tomb, and the ancient tombs in the future will only be much more dangerous than they are now. Once the ghost-faced spider spits out its silk, it will become the size of a fingernail, and there is no way to get it to help it in case of danger later.
