Chapter 147: Skylight

I fell from the big wooden beam, and was suspended in the air by the rope like those empty clothes, and I hung there with my head and feet, and just as I thought of the mercury mechanism in this apse, maybe it was to preserve some secret in the apse, I felt a tightness in my waist, and Shirley Yang and the fat man were pulling the rope with their hands, and slowly pulled me back to the wooden beam.

My brain was running rapidly, and I saw that there was more and more mercury in the hall, and it was already past the belly of the six-legged copper tripod, and it only took a moment for the painting wall and stone tablet to completely cover the painting wall and stone tablet, and the place where the mercury mechanism would be triggered by just touching it should be the place where the "secret" was hidden, and it must be somewhere among the murals, stone tablets, and black copper tripods, where is it?

Eighty percent is that among the many corpses of Yi people in the copper tripod, what important items or corpses are hidden? No, all the corpses in the copper tripod were immediately burned into a pot of stinky oil by the fire after the lid was opened, even if there was something extremely important, it was already gone, so why bother to arrange the hollow mercury dragon.

Time passed second by second, my body was gradually pulled up by the fat man, probably due to the reversal of the blood flow, the scene in the hall also looked different from the front, but at this moment the mind was extremely clear, because I was head-down, as soon as I looked up, I saw the ground in the hall, in mid-air, the most prominent thing in the hall was the mural wall in the shape of the eight trigrams and nine palaces.

The gossip-shaped mural wall flashing in front of me, one of which is particularly prominent, there is a "scab man" who is crushed to the wall by the dinggai, and the flesh and blood are blurred. The white-background wall was splashed like it had been spilled with ink, and the walls were covered with pitch-black and dark green blood and flesh, and because of the weight of the canopy, the wall was also cracked with a gap, and several cracks extended around it.

There are many murals on the eight brick walls, but the most special one is the one that depicts all kinds of strange witchcraft rituals in the Dian Kingdom. It is the side that was broken by the canopy, as soon as the wall was broken, the short corridor in the hall was immediately sealed, and a large amount of mercury poured out from the dragon's mouth, all of which only showed that there was something important hidden in the wall, once it was violated by external forces, it would trigger the mechanism in the hall. Those who could not hide were swallowed up by mercury, and their whole bodies turned black and died, and if the intruder was able to escape from the top of the temple, in that moment, the mercury could fill the apse. It's hard for outsiders to see what's hidden in that wall.

This thing must be very important, the reason why I don't do that kind of desperate organ may be because I have to take this thing out in the future, but I don't know why, when the king was buried, it was not brought into the underground Xuangong, but hidden on the top of the Ming Tower, and it is now a top priority. It was to dig out the contents of the mercury before it had gone through the cracks in the painting wall.

I didn't think about it so carefully at the time, but at that moment, with the intuition of "Captain Jin", I thought that there was something hidden in the wall. The so-called "intuition" is nothing more than the synthesis of a number of memory fragments in the brain, the information received by the five senses, skipping the logical level, directly reflecting the results of these information into the mind, and the degree of preparation for the results depends on a person's judgment ability in a large way.

At this time, I didn't care about hanging in the air, and immediately shouted, "It's in this wall!" I suddenly shouted, and the fat man and Shirley Young, who were pulling the ropes on the wooden beams, were startled, and they were both puzzled, and both asked, "What is in the wall?" ”

I found that the mercury in the temple was getting thicker, and I could no longer linger, and I had no further explanation, so I told them not to drag me up until I descended to the cracked wall to see if there was still a chance to get out of the contents. In addition, let the fat man burn the haunted "witch clothes" with a lighter, and especially emphasized to the fat man that no matter how strange the clothes were, ignore them, just light the fire.

Then let Shirley Yang hurry up and climb to the top first, blow up the temple tiles, and the three of them acted separately like this, striving to leave this "Lingyun Heavenly Palace" in the shortest possible time, otherwise it would be delayed any longer, not to mention the power of this mercury, it would be very bad to stay in this haunted palace just when it was dark outside.

Shirley Yang and the fat man didn't know what I wanted to do, but we had been together for a long time, and we both knew that I must have my reasoning, and it was not too late to wait until I went out, so the two of them went their separate ways from the big wooden beam.

I saw him brave enough to rub the wooden beam against the "witch clothes" hanging in the corner of the hall, and took out the lighter with trembling leisurely, knowing that with a reckless and hateful person like him, even the ghosts and gods were afraid of him, so he stopped looking at him, pulled the pulley on his waist, stepped on a stone tablet nearby, and swung his body from mid-air to the mural wall.

When swinging from the air, the mountaineering helmet has even rubbed the mercury on the ground, and as soon as his hands reach the mural wall, he quickly climbed up half a meter to avoid the mercury below, and the development of mercury sulfide heating technology in the Qin and Han dynasties is still due to the unremitting efforts of the Qin Emperor and Han Wu to seek immortality in alchemy.

I saw that the mural wall was cracked by the tripod cover, and sure enough, half of the jade letter was exposed, and the letter was wrapped with several turns of gold rope, and the rising flowing mercury was about to submerge the cracks in the wall.

The mural wall is all made of "菾 (tian Ersheng) adobe bricks", there is no stone, it is not solid, there may be a few special bricks that are active, you can hide things inside, but due to the huge external force impact, the fit of the movable bricks are somewhat deformed, it is difficult to distinguish which bricks are dead, which bricks can be moved, so they have to be completely chiseled.

The jade letter hidden in the wall is not small, and it is necessary to chisel off a large piece of "clay bricks" before it can be taken out, just as I was busy digging the wall, I suddenly heard a rumble above my head, and many bricks and tiles fell, and a dazzling sunlight shot into the gloomy palace.

I looked up at the top of the hall, it turned out that Shirley Yang had opened a skylight to the top of the palace, but the glass roof of the heavenly palace was not thick, and no explosives were used, and a large hole was directly broken with a sapper shovel and a pickaxe, and the sunlight slanted into the hall, which happened to shine on the "witch clothes" in the corner of the wall, and the fat man also happened to light a fire at the same time, and the red "witch clothes" that seemed to be stained with blood burned and fell, turning into a cloud of ashes, and was covered by mercury in an instant.

I saw that both of them had succeeded, and I also went all out at the moment, chiseled off the last two obstructive adobe bricks, reached out and took out the jade letter hidden in the wall, and weighed it, it was not too heavy, and now I didn't have time to guess what was inside, so I clamped the jade letter under my armpit, and turned the pulley to rise to the main beam, at this time, several beast heads in the hall still continued to spew mercury, and it did not exceed the height of the position of the hidden things in the mural wall, if I had been slow for half a minute just now, I would never have had a chance to get this jade letter.

As soon as I got on the main beam, I immediately joined the fat man, hurriedly climbed the rafters, and climbed out of this dangerous heavenly palace through the "skylight" cleared by Shirley Yang.

The sunlight outside has been oblique, due to the relationship of special terrain, the depth of the "Worm Valley" is exposed to the sunlight every day for a very short time, the sun is biased, it is covered by the mountains, the valley will gradually fall into darkness, standing on the slippery large glazed tiles, see the "dragon halo" under the heavenly palace has changed from the colorful when the sun is sufficient, into a dim golden light, and then the funnel-shaped waterhole in the depths is already so black that it is impossible to see the water surface, and seems to be integrated with the black vortex at the bottom of the deep pool.

Thinking back to the encounters in the Heavenly Palace just now, the most puzzling thing for me is still those bronze beasts and bronze people, as for the strange clothes hanging high in the hall, the icy woman sneering, the large amount of mercury poured out, and the jade letter hidden in the mural wall, I didn't care, my mind was full of the flames rising under the big ding, and the bronze statues with unusual action costumes, 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.

At this time, Shirley Yang gently pushed me, and I came back to my senses from my hard thinking, settled down, took out the jade letter that I had taken out of the painting wall and showed it to the fat man and Shirley Yang, and briefly explained the situation at that time.

The jade letter is wrapped with several turns of gold rope, the jade color is simple, a little bit of red scar, at a glance it is an antiquity thousands of years ago, but this jade letter is flat and rectangular, it looks like it should not be a container for putting "phoenix gall". Hidden in the apse of the Heavenly Palace in such a secret, the things in it must be extraordinary, I wanted to open it right now to watch, but the jade letter was very tightly closed, and if I didn't have special tools, if I wanted to open it, I would only destroy the ancient jade outside.

Shirley Yang said: "The ancient jade is small, the items inside are large, or wait for us to go back, it's not too late to take a closer look, now the time is pressing, and we don't compete to see how long it is." ”

I nodded yes, and asked the fat man to wrap the jade letter and put it in his backpack first, and I asked the fat man, "When you burned that red dress, did you think there was anything strange?" ”

After the fat man packed the jade letter, he put the big backpack beside him and complained to me: "You still have the face to ask, that dress is really evil, if the fat man is a little less courageous, you have to collect my body at this moment, next time there is such a fatal errand, it is more appropriate for Commander Hu to go out in person, even the blind fortune teller said that you have a big fate." ”

Seeing that it was getting dark, we planned to go down to the bottom of the pool at once to find out the location of the tomb, so while I was busy with Shirley Yang to get some equipment, I asked the fat man, "Didn't the blind man also tell you?" When you say that you are the Three Kingdoms, Lu Bu and Lu Feng were reincarnated first, and you have the courage to be unstoppable, what can scare you? Tell me more about what the half-cut female corpse in the clothes looks like? ”
