Lonely Lamp in the Desert Chapter 55 The Bronze Box

Although it is impassioned and exciting, but I still have fifteen buckets of water in my heart, I think I am born with the attribute of bad luck, every critical moment will encounter a little bad luck happens, and now what is waiting for us behind the wooden door, I don't know, just hope that everything will go smoothly until we get out of the desert.

I wasn't sure if there was any monster lurking behind the dark door, so I picked up a small pebble from the ground and threw it in, I don't know if it was too small or because I was too nervous, the stone was like a stone sinking into the sea, not only was there no trace, but there was no sound at all.

I can't care so much, I was too cautious a few times before, but it just proved that I was too worried, and now I see, in fact, there are not so many mechanisms designing us, more just scaring myself, demons.

Originally, when I observed outside the door, I thought that behind the wooden door there would be a wide open space without seeing the edge, but when we really came in, we found that this was just a small space of only more than 20 square meters.

I asked a few people not to take it lightly, always watch their feet, don't touch any tiny mechanisms placed on the ground, if there is really a mechanism in such a small space that we accidentally trigger, we may not even have a chance to run, it is really nine deaths.

I shone a flashlight on the walls everywhere, hoping to find something similar to a mural to give us some clues, but the walls around me are not covered with large and small murals like the wall outside the door, and there is nothing bare, and it is probably impossible to find some clues from the walls.

Mazi has been talking about treasures in his heart, and he is obviously a little unwilling to see such an empty scene, although I emphasize paying attention to safety in every possible way, but my words are already deaf to him who is eager to hunt for treasures, and he can't listen to them at all.

A few of us are still slowly moving in step by step, and Mazi has already walked to the deepest part of this cave, fortunately there is no mechanism on the road he has walked, even if it is a "minesweeper" "sapper" for a few of us behind, along the road he just walked, there will definitely be no danger, in fact, I am also very anxious, since there is already a safe road, why bother to walk tentatively like a small-footed old lady, simply learn to walk in Mazi strides into it.

In the process of walking inside, Mazi seemed to have found something, and did not make a sound, just bent down and stared silently at a stone platform under his feet in a daze.

From my point of view, I can't see anything on the stone platform, but I see that the usually impatient Mazi has become silent now, presumably there must be something else on the stone platform, if it is just a bare stone platform, it will not be so great magic to attract the battle-hardened Mazi.

Seeing us coming, Mazi hurriedly gave me a vacant space, which gave me a wider line of sight to observe the stone platform, and it was at this time that I realized that there was a bronze box with a pale green light on the stone platform!

The cave was already very humid, and the bronze box was already covered with mottled patina, which looked particularly ancient. The faint light coming out of the box is very quiet, this color is very similar to the color of the ghost fire written in my grandfather's book, and the main reason for the formation of the ghost fire is that the phosphorus content in the air is too high to cause burning, it is not that this box contains part of the remains of a deceased, and it has been placed for so long to cause the phosphorus content to increase before it causes spontaneous combustion, and a faint green fire shines from inside.

But think about it again, from ancient times to the present, people have a traditional idea of "parents of the body", I think even the Gentiles of the Western Regions should also understand this truth, and there is a saying that "the dead are great", it is impossible for someone to separate the body of a dead person and put it in such a bronze box, how much hatred must it be?

The top priority at the moment is to open the box and see what it is, no matter how good and full the ideas in the mind are, they are only ideas after all, and only practice can test the truth and verify the ideas, except for practice, everything else is empty talk, which will only delay the normal development of the truth!

I have always heard that the ancients were good at hiding mechanisms in the box, and there were no clues on the outside of the box, but once you opened the box, there would be a crossbow arrow shot out of the gap, and this time was often the moment when people's minds were most relaxed, and when the reaction was like this, the crossbow arrow had already pierced the throat of the person who opened the box, and all that remained was endless pain and gradual death.

In order to prevent possible hidden mechanisms in the box, and for the personal safety of several of us, I first inserted the dagger I carried along the gap at one end of the bronze box, and then fixed it to the handle of the dagger in a "U" shape with the hemp rope on the waist of the pockmarked just now, carefully removed the bronze box from the stone platform, and gently placed it on the ground, pulling the two ends of the hemp rope with both hands, and then I stood at the other end of the dagger, and raised my left foot against the bronze box. Fix it to prevent the contents from accidentally slipping out when opening the box for a while, hold the hemp rope with both hands and pull it upward, and the hemp rope drives the dagger inserted into the box to pry up at the same time, and it really pries the bronze box open!

As the box was pried open, three sharp sounds came from the cracks in the box, followed by a few more fires on the stone wall not far away, which were fleeting.

Sure enough, my guess is right, there is indeed a hidden mechanism in this bronze box, if we didn't think about it just now and opened the box in vain, I'm afraid that the person who opened the box now would have already left three blood holes in his neck!

Since there is a mechanism in the bronze box, it means that there must be valuables inside, otherwise no one would be idle enough to use such a complex mechanism to protect an extremely ordinary thing, right?

We've cracked the mechanism, so don't worry, take out the dagger, open the box, and see what the green light is emitting.

When I took off the lid, a more tranquil green light shot out of the box, and when the green light faded, a few of us looked down at the box, only to find that it was not the remains of the ancients I imagined, but a bronze monster frog with a green light all around!
