The master wrapped the rope around the pillar and pulled me on it, controlling the distance between me and the mercury to prevent the rope from being too long and turning me into a mercury doll.

When I descended to the lowest point, my feet had even rubbed the mercury on the ground, and as soon as my hands reached the mural wall, I quickly hooked one side of the wall with my feet. During the Qin and Han dynasties, the development of mercury sulfide heating technology was derived from the unremitting efforts of the Qin Emperor and Han Wu to seek eternal life through alchemy.

I saw that in the crack that was knocked open by the giant tripod just now, a small black box was revealed. There are some patterns carved on it with gold relief, and the rising mercury is about to flood the cracks in the wall, so I don't have time to take a closer look in my hurry, so I first keep my body from leaving the wall, endure the choking smell of mercury, and immediately start to chisel the wall with the demon-slaying pestle borrowed from the little monk.

Before we entered the tomb, we just carried some simple dry food and ropes to reduce the burden, and did not bring anything like a hammer, so for the time being, we could only use the little monk's demon pestle instead, anyway, this thing is heavy and strong enough, and it is quite easy to dismantle this kind of wall.

The mural walls are all made of grass and earth bricks, and they are not solid. The black box hidden in the wall is not small, and a large piece of grass and earth bricks needs to be chiseled off before it can be removed. Just as I was busy digging into the wall, I suddenly heard a scream above my head, and a small piece of fire suddenly fell.

I dodged and dodged in a hurry, only to hear the master's worried yelling: "Quick, behind you." My scalp tingled, and I instinctively lowered my head, just to feel something hard rub against my neck.

I kicked back violently, and hurriedly turned my body around, and a strange smile in the darkness was facing me at the moment: "Giggles" sneered. Raise your barb-like hands and grab at me.

It's almost an instant, it's too late for me to hide, my chest is hot at the moment, and the ghost's hand screams when it touches my chest, it turns out that the pendant that the master gave me when I was apprenticed saved my life at a critical moment, I thought to myself that you also have today! He slammed it with the demon pestle in his hand, and the ghost screamed again, and then wanted to go away.

Taking advantage of the spell in the hand of the kung fu master, the powerful ghost was about to fall into the mercury, but it was dodged and flew up, and rushed directly towards the top of the main hall, with a bang, and a lot of bricks and tiles fell.

I looked up to the top of the hall, it turned out that Nini just now chiseled the top of the hall to open a way for us, the glass top of the heavenly palace is not thick, it was chiseled open in a few clicks, the ghost wanted to escape at this time, the master had already used the compass to locate him, not waiting for her to go out from the top of the hall, the charm in his hand shot again, just hit the ghost, and suddenly the flames rose, and the ghost screamed and disappeared into the pile of white robes, and the flames on the body passed through the other human skin white robes also ignited. It burned and fell, turning into a cloud of ashes, and in an instant it was covered in mercury.

At this time, the little monk also hurriedly set fire to the human skin corpse that I had just fallen from the wooden beam, and it suddenly turned into a pile of ashes under the raging flames.

I saw that I was run away by this ghost again, and said secretly: "It's a pity", and I also went all out at the moment, chiseled off the last two obstructive adobe bricks, and reached out to take out the small black wooden box hidden in the wall.

Several golden dragons in the hall were still spewing mercury, just below the height of the hole in the mural wall, if they had been slow for half a minute just now, they would never have had a chance to get this black box.

At this moment, due to being wandering around without direction by the ghosts, a lot of white robes were ignited, and many fell on the wooden beams and began to burn, here the feng shui is good, plus the anti-corrosion and moisture-proof are good, those wooden beams burned directly as soon as they touched the fire.

As soon as I climbed up to the main beam, I didn't have time to say more, but the master beckoned us and hurried to join Nini, and hurriedly climbed the rafters out of this dangerous heavenly palace from the broken top. In front of us is a natural stone cave that winds upwards.

The mercury spread, the fire burned, and the apse at this moment completely turned into a purgatory scene, this apse may not be able to be saved, or it will not be long before it will first burn and collapse under the flames, and then be spread by mercury.

We didn't dare to stay on the top of the palace in the back, in the dark we held the torch one foot high and one foot shallow first ran towards a safe place, after a certain distance, we heard a "boom" behind the apse collapsed, fortunately we ran fast just now, otherwise I am afraid it would be over.

Thinking back to the scene that happened in the Heavenly Palace just now, what is most difficult for me to figure out is the usefulness of those bronze men and bronze beasts, as well as those human skin and white robes, what kind of witchcraft or criminal law should be skinned and dropped in the apse, and what is the effect? The ghosts who have been hindering us, the large amount of mercury pouring out, the black box hidden in the mural wall, they don't care, their minds are full of the human skin white robe and the unusual bronze statue, there must be something unusual I haven't remembered yet, but the more I think about it, the more I can't grasp the clue.

Then Nini gave me a gentle nudge, and I came back to my senses, and took out the black box that had been pulled out of the painting wall and showed it to the master, and briefly described the situation at that time.

It is a box made of fine gloomy wood, with some patterns inlaid with pure gold on it, and the surrounding area is opened and closed with mortise and tenon mechanisms. The box is antique, and at first glance it is something that was used by those princes and nobles thousands of years ago. However, this box is flat and rectangular, and it doesn't look like it is supposed to store the secret magic of the Bashu net.

I knew long before the legend that the king of Bashu brought the secret method into the coffin when he was dying, and if you want to enter the core of the cemetery where he is buried, you need a key, and the key has been kept by the master, and I have never seen what it is, which is why the group of people kidnapped Liu Aoyun to lure away a lamp and let the master open the tomb.

And this box is so secretly hidden in the apse of the Heavenly Palace, the things in it must be extraordinary, I want to open it right now to watch, but the box is closed very tightly with a mortise and tenon machine, if you don't understand the mortise and tenon technology, if you want to open it, you can only grit your teeth and smash it open.

I immediately put it on the ground and rolled up my sleeves and was about to smash it with a demon pestle, but the master beat me to the head and scolded: "Loser, you can't use your brain?" This is the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancients, in order to make such a box, I know how much thought the craftsman spent at that time, and the box is small, the items inside are large, or wait for us to go back, and then take a closer look, now the time is urgent, and I don't want to see this time as soon as possible. ”

Although I was wronged by the fat beating by the master, I could only nod yes and put it in my bag. Hurriedly opened the topic and asked the little monk: "When you burned that human skin white robe, did you find anything strange?" ”。

The little monk patted his chest and said with a complaining face: "You still have the face to say, that thing is really fucking evil, if it weren't for the little monk and I ate fasting and chanting Buddha and was blessed by the Buddha and his old man, I would have gone to the West Heaven to pay homage to his old man." Next time you go to this kind of thing by yourself, you almost fall down in fear for your kid, and you still instigate me"
