Chapter Ninety-One: Half a Box of Gold
Daikin's mention of this immediately aroused the curiosity of all of us, and we all gathered in front of Daikin and looked at the half-human-high iron box curiously. The skin of this iron box is pointed out by pig iron, which has been full of red rust, and the whole body is smooth without any texture, and a fist-sized iron lock is buckled at the mouth of the box, and the keyhole has been sealed by rust.
Seeing that we were all around, Dajin hugged the iron box and said, "This is what I desperately carried back, and none of you are allowed to rob me of ......."
I couldn't laugh or cry when I saw it, and said, "Don't you carry back an iron coffin with a corpse soaked in it, I don't think you want it." ”
Shui Qingyan also smiled: "I think it's possible, looking at this specification, it looks like a longevity material for burying the dead corpse in ancient times." ”
Dajin's face turned a little green, and his tone weakened: "Then, let's open it first, if there is something valuable, how can I say that Lu An and I have the most labor, and we should take the lion's share." ”
Shui Qingyan nodded and said, "I'm a person who has half a foot in the coffin, do I still lack this money?" Let's talk about Sanskrit, people and Lu An are a family, what are you talking about here? Dajin was stunned and said, "That's the same." ”
But Lin Fanyin's face turned red: "What are you talking nonsense, let's open the box first, I don't think it's like a coffin......"
Shui Qingyan stopped joking, nodded and said: "Of course it's not a coffin, this half-person is two feet tall and two feet wide, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't meet the specifications of the coffin, I look at it as a storage box." ”
Dajin said: "Then what nonsense is there to open it quickly......" said and patted the iron box, making a 'bang' sound, and then his movements stopped, and said cautiously: "There won't be a mechanism in this, right?" ”
Shui Qingyan shook his head: "Isn't there a ......?"
Dajin said happily: "That's still ...... waste"
Shui Qingyan interrupted him: "Yes, there must be!" Look at the front of this box, the front is wide and the back is narrow, like the Mo family's trap box, don't say we don't have a key, but there is a key, if you want to open it from the front, there is no correct way, it will definitely trigger the trap. ”
I frowned and said, "What then?" ”
Shui Qingyan muttered: "The mechanism seems to be exquisite, but in fact, it can't be separated from the operation of the machine, you go to that little hacksaw, this needs to be done carefully." ”
I nodded, and took the hacksaw out of my backpack, which was used to cut through the locks of unopened chests in the tomb, and I didn't think I would use it before I entered the tomb.
Shui Qingyan turned out the hacksaw, flicked up and down the surface of the box twice with two fingers, and when it made an ethereal and crisp sound, he determined the bottom of the iron box an inch, and carefully sawed the iron box apart little by little.
This iron box was also cast from fine iron, but the age was too old and the smelting level was limited at that time, so it was quite easy for modern hacksaws to saw iron boxes. I saw Shui Qingyan carefully stretching the chainsaw into it, and every time he was extremely cautious and slight, when he could open a corner, he no longer followed up, but went to open another corner.
After a while, the four corners of the iron box were cut off obliquely, and Shui Qingyan lay down to see the hollows of the four corners, and after making sure that there was no obstacle, he sawed horizontally along the four corners corresponding to the four edges, and after a while, the steel plate at the bottom of it was lifted.
When everyone saw the scene inside the iron plate, they were shocked.
It was an iron rod that reached under the iron box. Shui Qingyan's face was not very good-looking, and he motioned for us not to make a sound, and slowly followed the thin iron rod, stretched his two hands in, inserted the palms of the two hands into both sides, and then slowly took out something.
Shui Qingyan gently took out the thing and put it on the ground.
I saw that it was a square black box two feet long and two feet wide. I don't know what material is made of the whole body, neither iron nor copper. In front of the black box were two rows of dark and neat holes, and behind it was a one-foot-long iron rod.
Shui Qingyan broke the mouth of the black box, and actually closed the hole, and then pushed the iron rod at the end of the tail in, and actually pushed it in. When the iron rod was completely inside, the entire black box turned out to be a three-finger-thick square flat piece.
After doing all this, Shui Qingyan wiped his sweat and said: "This thief also deserves this retribution, I still underestimate his ruthlessness, if we open the box just now, we will definitely die a miserable death." ”
Dajin picked up the black box on the ground, checked it, and said, "That's it?" ”
Shui Qing looked panicked, and quickly snatched it for him: "What are you doing?!" Is this something you can play? This thing is called the Ming Twenty Crossbow, it is a poison weapon designed by the craftsman Li Yuan, and the reason why it is called a poison weapon is because its internal space is extremely small, and the jet penetration of the machine is extremely strong, and the lethality of ordinary iron weapons is not strong, but it is most suitable for using poison to cooperate.
Just now, as long as we open the box head-on, the mechanism of this Ming Twenty Crossbow will definitely be triggered, and the iron rod will instantly press forward, shooting out the poisonous needle or venom inside...... Tsk, the consequences are unimaginable. But I've sealed its shot, and the finale behind it has been pressed in...... But you can hold it as a life-saving weapon......"
When I heard this, I lifted the black box and made sure it was harmless before putting it in my backpack. Fortunately, this thing is not sinking, and it seems that it does contain tiny objects like poison needles and venom.
Before I could put the black box in place, Daikin couldn't wait to pull out another item from the iron box.
I looked at it, and it was a small iron box.
It's just that it's several times smaller than the outer layer, and it fits right with this 'Ming Twenty Crossbow', seeing that the mechanism was broken, Dajin took it out and took it out in his hand, Dajin asked: "Huh, so heavy?" There must be another mechanism in this, right? ”
Shui Qingyan took it, knocked it, and shook it again. I only heard a few 'shaking' sounds inside, as if some iron object was striking. Shui Qingyan confirmed: "There is no mechanism here, if there is, such a strong impact would have been triggered a long time ago." As he spoke, he put the iron box on the ground and opened it directly.
We subconsciously retreated, and after a while, we found that it was safe and sound, and then we continued to surround us, and when we saw the things in the box, Dajin's face straightened: "Damn, this toss, I can be regarded as seeing some goods." ”
I saw that the box was divided into two parts from the middle, one part was wrapped in oiled paper, and after being opened, it was a pile of neatly stacked black blocks, which looked shiny.
"Huh! So many black donkey hooves? I exclaimed.
Shui Qingyan picked up a piece and put it on the tip of his nose, sniffed and shook his head and said: "This is Buddha food, which is similar to the Qingxin Pill I developed, but it is mixed with rice sac flowers in the rations, which can lift people's minds and stimulate potential." But the downside is that this thing is addictive, and long-term consumption can damage the body...... I think the Broken Mountain General used this thing to control his subordinates. ”
I haven't heard of Buddha food, but I know that the rice sac flower is the ancient poppy, and in order to control his subordinates, General Poshan actually developed drugs similar to modern 'drugs' to make his subordinates physically dependent on him, and he is desperate for himself, which is really evil.
It's no good to keep these things, and they have been kept for many years, and I don't know if they have deteriorated, so they were thrown away casually by Shui Qingyan.
The other part of the iron box is what makes Daikin scream.
Half a chest, full of gold.
