Chapter 22: Mimosa

The silvery-white light didn't last long, it quickly disappeared, and when we went to look at the lighter again, we found that it had been completely deformed, and it was deeply stuck in the wall, and we can imagine how much pressure it was under just now, and the sound of falling water, along the dark grooves on both sides I don't know where it flowed.

I swallowed hard to get my heart back in my throat and asked, "What is this camera?" ”

"Mercury" Xiang Ji replied, raised his legs and walked out, and beckoned us to hurry up. "Hurry up, after this trap has been used once, it will take a while before it is activated, let's move quickly."

So a few of us trotted all the way to the corpse, and when we turned it over, we found that it was unrecognizable, and the whole body was pitted, as if it had been pierced through the heart by ten thousand arrows. But we all know that he died from the kind of mechanism he just had, and that mechanism is much more lethal than a bow and arrow.

However, I can still tell from his clothes and the outline of his entire body, this is Wang Zihao, and I don't know how he and Li Tong came to the real tomb. Even if we didn't have the guidance of Li Rat, it is estimated that it would be enough to come here. This kid made a good impression on me, and I felt a pity that he was dead now, and after a while, we rummaged through him.

But Wang Zihao didn't have anything useful on him, so we took the wooden box and left here after rummaging through it, and ran quickly down the passage, and we were relieved when we ran out of this corridor.

I was very puzzled about the mechanism just now, so I asked Xiang Ji. "Tell us about the organ, I think you know a lot."

Jingxiu also looked at Xiang Ji with a worried face, and she was no less interested in that organ than me. "Just talk about the camera, you have a device in your heart, and you won't mess around next time."

"Since you want to know, I'll tell you about it." Xiang Ji turned around and said to me, "Sanmu, you should know that a substance falls from a high place, and the pressure they produce is very strong. ”

I nodded. "Of course, I know that the higher you are above the ground, the greater the gravitational pull you will be exerted, and the more pressure you will have when you fall."

"Not bad" Xiang Ji showed a smile on his face and continued: "The mechanism we saw just now is called the Torrent Array, which is simply formed by countless syringes, using the kinetic energy generated by the tide to spray out the mercury inside, so as to achieve the effect of killing in one hit. ”

"So how did we touch that mechanism just now, the first time we used the wooden box it didn't have the slightest effect, and the second time we used the lighter, could it be because of the temperature?"

I also thought of the key point, the biggest difference between the first attempt and the second is the temperature, could it be said that there was heat induction in the Qin Dynasty, this is also too advanced, I don't believe it.

But Xiang Ji's words have to make me believe. "Yes, because of the temperature, there was a plant called mimosa in that era, which could survive without sunlight, as long as the temperature was slightly higher, it would cause it to spontaneously combust, and it was a very terrible plant, but now it is estimated to be extinct."

"Mimosa?" Jing Xiu read a sentence, and then nodded thoughtfully and said: "I have seen the fossils of this plant, it is said that it is a plant discovered by ancient alchemists, and they burned at a very high temperature, which was a treasure at that time. ”

"Hehe, I didn't expect the unlucky girl to have heard of mimosa."

As soon as I heard this, I immediately felt upset, and it seemed that I didn't know what this mimosa was. "I really don't know what this is, but I've heard of mimosa, I don't know if the two of them are related, I'm surprised, why Xiang Ji seems to know everything."

"I said camera, where did you hear this, don't say it's an ancestral heirloom." I asked skeptically, with a solemn look on my face, I had to get an answer.

I thought it would be difficult for Xiang Ji this time, but he said that he only knew about the virtual tomb, but he didn't know anything about the real tomb, and now it seems that he knows a lot, so it depends on how you explain it.

Unexpectedly, Xiang Ji brought this problem over with a simple sentence. "Sanmutou, don't look at others who know more than you, you are envious and jealous, let's tell you the truth, I have poured more buckets than you have eaten, you are still too tender."

Now I won't do it, even if you have more experience than me in the fight, you don't need to be so sarcastic about me, but before I could react, Jing Xiu was the first to laugh, and her laughter felt very strange in this empty environment.

"God, even Jingxiu looks down on me, damn Xiang Ji, even if I am only one year old, I eat one meal a day, there are three hundred and sixty-five meals, have you fought so much, and you have passed the ancient tombs of China."

Thinking about it, suddenly it doesn't feel right. "I'm afraid he means something else, if it's for money, then he has been under so many buckets, he can support him for a few lifetimes, and then look at the time when he threw the wooden box just now, he didn't take antiques seriously at all, so that is to say, he didn't fight for money, can he still be addicted."

Just when I was thinking cranky in my heart, Xiang Ji spoke. "Okay, let's keep walking, you all be careful, this is not comparable to a virtual tomb, stepping on a mechanism will definitely die."

I still believe this, and I rushed to the torrent just now, so much mercury sprayed out of the dense holes, if I could still live, it would be a miracle.

So we continued to move forward, with Xiang Ji taking the lead and Jing Xiu and I following behind. This time we were careful and careful, but the rest of the road was extremely smooth, not to mention traps, and there was not even a sound, which seemed very weird.

After walking for a while, we realized that something was wrong. I have estimated the time in my mind, we have walked for about two hours, but we have not seen any exits or forks, although the scale of this tomb is very large, but it is impossible to build such a long straight road in the ancient tomb, there are only two explanations for this situation.

One is that we have unconsciously fallen into a maze, and the other is to encounter a zongzi, or a soft zongzi, in other words, to meet a ghost, and this phenomenon is commonly said to be a ghost hitting the wall.

Zongzi can be divided into many kinds, such as hard zongzi, of course, this is our jargon, ordinary people call them zombies. After death, the torso does not rot and slowly becomes hard, but there is a yin qi in the throat, as long as the living person is close, there will be yang qi sucked into their throat, resulting in corpse transformation, this is also the best way to deal with, as long as the head is cut off and released, it will naturally be finished.

The soft dumplings are more difficult to deal with, and the soft dumplings are divided into two kinds, one is formless, and we are commonly known as ghosts. The other also has a body, but unlike hard zongzi, their body is the same as a living person, in addition to sucking the yang energy of a living person, they are basically a normal person, which is very difficult to do, because they are a collection of all the advantages of zongzi, and the most terrible thing is that they still have memories before life and can think.
