Chapter 5 Tai Chi Rotation

After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that what he said was not unreasonable, and the mechanism was indeed activated when he spoke. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info but the same Yin Lord has another question: "Before, including now, we were talking here, only a foot away from that side, why didn't the mechanism be triggered?" ”

As soon as they said this, the three of them had no clue for a while. The mechanism design is so subtle that just the first part of the tomb road makes them feel a little helpless. According to legend, there are eleven traps in front of them that are just as dangerous or even more dangerous than the ones in front of them, which makes the three of them a little worried.

After thinking about it, in the end, the Yin Lord proposed the most stupid solution: "In this way, you guys stay here first, and I'll go over and explore the way to see where the trigger mechanism is." You can help me observe the situation and changes in the tomb passage here, and help me if there is any emergency. ”

The three of them had come to this kind of place for the first time to do this kind of thing, and they didn't have any ideas about many situations, so they could only agree to the very risky decision of the Yin Lord. Huo Liuli and Huo Xiaolu stood at the edge of the tomb, holding a few protective charms in their hands, ready to rescue the Yin Lord at any time.

Standing on the edge, the Yin Lord cautiously stretched out a foot and tentatively stepped into the tomb. His feet landed silently without making a sound, and he cautiously stared at the holes in the murals on both sides, in case the wind and sand concealment inside shot out, ready to retreat at any moment.

The pearl on the top of the tomb exuded a faint and soft light, illuminating everything below, and the shadow of the Yin Lord reflected on the ground moved slowly, and every subtle movement touched the hearts of the two people at the entrance.

Slowly, slowly, the Yin Lord had already walked half the distance, and the traps on both sides had not been triggered. This made him secretly happy, it seemed that he had found a way to crack it.

However, he was still too happy, after all, the owner of the tomb here was most likely the strongest mechanism master in history, how could the mechanism barrier he personally designed to protect his posthumous residence be as simple as the Yin Lord imagined. Just when the joy in the Yin Lord's heart first rose, there was a sudden change in the tomb.

Originally, the Yin Lord was about to continue walking forward, intending to pass directly. However, just as he raised his right foot, the murals on both sides suddenly erupted without warning.

The strong wind contains a strong penetrating power, and it contains a small grain of poisonous sand, which is naturally self-evident. The Yin Lord didn't dare to underestimate these two inconspicuous things on weekdays, and with a slight step on his feet, his body suddenly rose into the air. This time, he didn't release his qi to protect his whole body, but took off his coat while jumping up, and waved it quickly, protecting himself from splashing water.

There were still screeching sounds in the holes on both sides, and the wind and sand attacked towards the Yin Lord's body almost without dead ends. The clothes in the Yin Lord's hands waved quickly, but the steps under his feet were extremely light, like dragonflies dotting water, and he returned to the entrance in a few jumps.

Seeing that he came back without danger, Huo Liuli and Huo Xiaolu hurriedly greeted him to see if he was injured. Except for a layer of fine sweat on his forehead, there was not a single wound on the Yin Lord's body. It's just a pity that the jacket he used to protect himself was now riddled with holes below the collar of the jacket, and it looked like it could almost sift sand.

There was no ugly look on the Yin Lord's face: "Okay, the guess is wrong. I thought that the trigger of this mechanism was triggered by gravity and sound, but it seems that I thought it was too simple, and the mechanism settings here really can't be inferred according to common sense. ”

After listening to what he said, Huo Xiaolu still had a question: "You are halfway through just now, why don't you go directly to that end, but come back?" ”

Pointing to the stone door at the end of the tomb, the Yin Lord said, "Do you see that door?" There's a hole in there, too, and there's this sand trap there, so if I go there, I'll just be able to get an eye out. ”

"What then? Is there any other possibility, let's give it a try. Huo Xiaolu felt that his head was too big, and now it felt like an escape room to him, which was really brain-draining.

The Yin Lord pondered for a while and said, "In this case, I'll try it again to see if this mechanism will be delayed after someone steps on it." ”

Seeing that he was about to risk his life again, Huo Liuli was very uneasy and asked him, "Has your Gang Qi recovered?" Now, if you have another accident, you won't have a coat to use. ”

patting her chest, the Yin Lord smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, now that you have recovered, even if something happens, you can resist it for a while." ”

At this time, Huo Xiaolu took off his jacket and handed it to him: "You better keep it for spare, just in case." ”

After thinking about it, the Yin Lord still took the coat. He walked over and stood still, taking a deep breath, ready to go straight through.

When this breath brewed in the lungs to the extreme, Yin took the initiative. Like an arrow off the string, he rushed towards the end of the tomb with no relentless speed, so fast that he even left a trail of afterimages.

More than a hundred meters away, the Yin Lord arrived almost in the blink of an eye, and they were very happy to see him pass this level, Huo Liuli and Huo Xiaolu. But before the smile on their faces could be revealed, the Yin Lord only paused slightly, and then immediately retreated at the same speed.

The two of them were a little inexplicable, and before they could say anything, the tomb began to "fly sand and stones" again. After a long time of annoying noise inside, it gradually subsided. Seeing that the pavement inside the passage was already covered with a thin layer of fine sand, Huo Liuli and Huo Xiaolu didn't know what to say for a while.

In the end, it was Huo Liuli who opened his mouth and asked, "What's the matter, that door can't be opened?" ”

Wiping a handful of sweat, the Yin Lord's face was a little helpless: "A good news or a bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" ”

"Good news!" Huo Xiaolu hurriedly said.

The Yin Lord pointed to the already messy tomb and said, "I already know what is going on with the mechanism in this tomb, it is not the sound or the simple pressure of the footsteps, but the pressure on the ground and the surging air flow in the passage. ”

Hearing this conclusion he made, Huo Liuli was really a little surprised: "The air flow is surging? That is, breathing? ”

"It's heavy breathing, and the wind that comes with our clothes when they are raised. The holes on both sides are densely packed, and they are very sensitive to air flow, so even small changes in air flow can be recognized. The Yin Lord added.

Huo Xiaolu's head grew when he heard this: "This is good news for you, we have no way to go over now like this, okay?" Not to mention the bad news you have there. ”

In this regard, the Yin Lord could only smile and say: "Since we already know the principle of this mechanism, it is not very difficult to pass it, and the really bad thing is still to come." ”

He pointed to the stone door at the end of the tomb and said, "When I went there just now, I found that in addition to the many holes in the door, there was also a stone lock on it, which was the most difficult thing to do. ”

Huo Xiaolu felt a little incomprehensible about his words: "It's just a lock, can't you just smash it open." ”

The Yin Lord snapped his fingers and explained to him: "First, it is a stone lock attached to the door, which is one with the stone gate and cannot be violently destroyed, please refer to this stone gate behind us for the reason; Second, the sand trap on the door will still trigger after a few seconds of delay, and we only have about four seconds to unlock it. Third, I took a quick look at the lock, which was half black and half white. ”

Originally, when he heard the two Huo Xiaolu in front of him, he was already very depressed, and when he heard the last, he didn't understand what it meant: "One black and one white?" What kind of lock is that? ”

Huo Liuli's face was very ugly: "I have read a secret document about the records of the agency, and the lock is also introduced on it. From what I understand, in general. There are only two types of locks in the world that are painted black and white. ”

"What two types of locks?" Huo Xiaolu hurriedly asked.

Huo Liuli said slowly: "The first one is called 'One-Step Reincarnation Lock'. This kind of lock has had a prototype since the pre-Qin period, and has been continuously transformed and improved in successive dynasties, and it was not until the Song Dynasty that the final finished product appeared. The structure of this lock is extremely complex, and it is said that it contains more than forty different traps, unless you use a real key to open them, otherwise the slightest mistake will trigger the traps. It is said that no one has ever been able to trigger the mechanism and survive. ”

Huo Xiaolu felt very surprised, and at the same time felt faintly uneasy in his heart: "There is such a domineering safety device in the world?" If the door on the opposite side is this 'one-step reincarnation lock', then how can we get there? ”

Hearing this, Lord Yin patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry, this kind of lock is unique to the Yama family, and it has never been passed on, and it is estimated that this Qing Dynasty prince will not have it." ”

Saying this, Huo Xiaolu felt a little relieved in his heart, and continued to ask: "Does that mean that this lock is a different kind?" ”

Huo Liuli nodded: "It should be." This kind of lock is called 'Tai Chi wheel rotary lock', but it is also a kind of lock that has been handed down since ancient times. There are no other dangerous mechanisms for this kind of lock, it is relatively safe, and it was even a toy for children's entertainment, but it is too terrible to put here. ”

"How do you say this, could it be that the difficulty of opening this lock is higher than that kind of 'one-step reincarnation'?" Huo Xiaolu asked.

At this time, the Yin Lord also sighed helplessly: "If it is placed outside, this lock is not only a little troublesome to open, but it is still easy to open, but because of this trouble, it is really difficult to kill people in it." ”

Sighing again, he explained to Huo Xiaolu, who was confused: "This kind of 'Tai Chi Rotation' has no key at all, just find a piece of iron about an inch wide and half a foot long, insert it into the lock cylinder, and turn it one hundred and eight times clockwise, and it can be opened." ”

Huo Xiaolu glanced at the tomb and did not speak. In less than four seconds, one hundred and eight laps...... He felt a little confused.
