Chapter 25: Mercury and Crossbow Arrows
As soon as the door of the tomb was opened, Yue Feng felt that something was wrong, "Everyone retreat immediately", and as he spoke, he grabbed the people around him and quickly ran away, and everyone followed when they heard it, and ran far away and stood still, all of them panting.
The horse monkey gasped and asked, "Brother Feng, what's the matter...... What's wrong. ”
"This is poisoning, no wonder this tomb is so well sealed, there are usually two kinds of poisoning, one is mercury, and the other is corpse poison. That's the mercury in it. One step further we were all poisoned. ”
The horse monkey doesn't know much about this, "Isn't mercury a liquid, we didn't encounter a liquid substance just now." ”
Dongzi is an expert in this area: "Mercury is actually a slow, toxic and diluted gas, which will be emitted after long-term contact with the air. Therefore, when the mercury pond is laid in the early stage of the tomb, there is only a slight injury to the tomb repairer, and once it is closed all year round, the toxicity will be emitted, and a huge deadly toxic gas will gradually be formed, killing the tomb robbers. The Warring States Qijing Cemetery and Qihuan Cemetery are such measures. ”
Yue Feng added, "Yes, as soon as I opened it just now, I didn't feel right, so I suspect that there must be a mercury pool in it." The horse monkey was worried, "Then we won't be able to get in." ”
Yue Feng said, "That's not going to happen, the tomb here is very large, and it's connected, as long as there is enough time, this mercury poison gas can be released." When they heard this, they were comforted.
Yue Feng sniffed, "Let's take a rest here, wait for the poisonous gas to dissipate to the point that it can't harm health, let's go in, maybe there is still a vicious battle waiting for us, everyone conserves their strength." "In this hellish place, it is impossible to rest in such a peaceful way, so they immediately sit on the ground and start resting.
I slept for a while in a daze, and then I heard Cui Fatzi shouting, "The chickens are crowing, the long-term workers are working, the chickens are crowing, the long-term workers are working...... "The horse monkey woke up, you are a dead fat man, you can't stop sleeping." ”
Cui Fatzi was not happy, "This is not my idea, it was Brother Feng who called it, you are amazing, go to Brother Feng to fight alone." After saying that, he also gloated with an expression.
The horse monkey got up and tidied himself up, "Cut, I don't have the same knowledge as you, wait until I meet a ghost, don't be scared to pee my pants." Cui Fat Man took a break, obviously refreshed, "There is nothing in this world that can scare your Grandpa Cui into peeing his pants." After speaking, he glanced at the guide with his eyes.
The guide's face was red for a while, white for a while, and he must have greeted the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of Cui Fatzi's family in his heart. Yuefeng packed up his livelihood, "Let's go, we have to pass the test as soon as possible." ”
The horse monkey rushed to Yuefeng's side, "Brother Feng, is that poisonous gas okay?" Yue Feng closed his eyes and sensed, "It should be fine, the tomb of the Qinglong Tomb is not big, and there is not so much poisonous gas, so it should be almost dispersed after so long." ”
A group of six people walked along the road just now towards the Qinglong Tomb, this rest is different, and after a while, they arrived at the door of the tomb, and the door that they pushed open just now is still open there. Yue Feng looked at it, "Everyone be careful, the four elephants are headed by Qinglong, and this tomb must be more dangerous than the previous ones." ”
"Hmm!" "Hmm!" Everyone agreed, and entered the tomb, as expected, the coffin in the tomb was fat, and there was really a pool of mercury, and the mercury in it had volatilized only a little, thinking that if they had come in directly just now, it was estimated that they would have died by now.
Strange to say, Yue Feng thought that there would be a mechanism in this tomb, but the strange thing is that they came in smoothly and did not touch any mechanism, and their caution was in vain. Six people surrounded the coffin, and now the key to cracking this level should be on this coffin.
Dongzi's previous injury, after a few days of cultivation, is basically better. He walked to Yuefeng's side, "Brother Feng, we have been very smooth all the way, then this final level must be on this coffin, and you must be careful when opening the coffin." ”
Yue Feng nodded, slowly stretched out his hand, and slowly put his hand on the coffin, without any reaction, "Everyone do me a favor and open this coffin." After Yuefeng finished speaking, four people except the guide came over, and Cui Fatzi was very handy for opening the coffin.
He spat twice into his hand and raised his machete, "Get out of the way!" With a word, he slapped the children and grandchildren on the coffin. Then the machete was pinned in, and it entered the coffin, and then it was torn out, and a "click" was heard, and the coffin board was lifted.
Yue Feng took the brunt of the coffin and walked to the coffin, looked inside, and saw that the person in the coffin was not covered in green water and had no skin like the other three, but was no different from a normal person. It's a specimen. At the same time, what is even more different is that there are many valuable treasures next to this corpse.
Ma Monkey, Dongzi and Sakuragi also walked over, and the five of them looked carefully around the coffin, and found nothing wrong, and there was no anomaly in the corpse inside, just like a sleeping person lying in it, but his appearance was exactly the same as that old man, and everyone knew that this was the real body of Qinglong.
"Brother Feng, what do you think this is?" The horse monkey had sharp eyes and saw a line of words on the back of the coffin lid that had been turned open. Yuefeng looked at Dongzi, "Dongzi, go and see what is written?" ”
Dongzi walked to the coffin lid and squatted there to take a closer look, "Brother Feng, it says 'There is a treasure in the coffin, and you need to be humble when you take it'." When the horse monkey heard this, his eyes began to glow, "This green dragon is not bad, not only did it not embarrass us, but also left us a treasure." ”
As he spoke, he was about to put his hand into the coffin, but Yue Feng grabbed his hand at once, "Don't move." "Squeak...... The creaky ......" is clearly the sound of a clockwork starting. Everyone panicked and didn't know what to do.
At this time, two words flashed through Yuefeng's mind: "Humility!" "Get down, everybody!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately fell to the ground, and only the unresponsive guide, who was shot through the ear by a crossbow arrow because he was too slow, lay on the ground and covered his bloody ear and struggled in pain. While covering his ears, he muttered something to himself there.
The crossbow continued to shoot out, forming a huge net throughout the burial chamber, and if they had reacted a little later, they would have all been shot into a sieve by now, and they would have palpitated to think about it.
The place where the horse monkey was lying was relatively close to Yuefeng, "Brother Feng, what's going on, why hasn't the mechanism been activated, but the coffin has been opened, and the mechanism can still be activated?" ”
Yue Feng is only proficient in Feng Shui and Taoism, and has the ability to lead, and can walk in the two worlds of yin and yang. Little is known about this anti-theft measure. At this time, Cui Fatzi spoke. "At the critical moment, I still want you Grandpa Cui, let me tell you these rare and strange things, this thing is a kind of anti-theft method of 'crossbow archery'."
"In the past, it was to set up a mechanism in the tomb, just like the last time we encountered, touching the mechanism will trigger a hidden weapon such as a crossbow arrow, and shoot the tomb robber to death, so that the tomb where the mechanism is placed in the coffin should be the tomb after the Tang Dynasty."
"The engine of the mechanism is to install several pulley-like tools on the inner wall of the coffin, and the pulley is equipped with a crossbow and poison arrows on one side, and the rope connects the crossbow with the coffin cover through the pulley. Once the coffin is opened, the rope triggers a salvo of arrows from the bow and crossbow through the turbine to shoot the aggressor. ”
"Fatty, are you sure this kind of organ only existed after the Tang Dynasty? But all the words here, including the symbols, look like things from the Sui Dynasty, and the age does not match" Dongzi has always been convinced that everything here is the Sui Dynasty, and he also believes that this is a Sui Dynasty tomb.
"I heard what my ancestors said, and I also learned this skill from them, which is different from the training of your regular grave-digging army. Who knows if it's reliable. ”
They were studying when this thing was going to be, and with a "click", the bolts stopped firing, and as soon as the bolts were finished, the horses and monkeys were about to get up. Yue Feng hurriedly pulled him down, "Wait." As soon as the horse monkey lay down, a very thick crossbow arrow shot at once.
"Emma, and the back hand, thanks to Brother Feng". Yue Feng said, "Let's get up this time, don't always be careless in doing things, sooner or later you will suffer from this." The ancients would always have a backup when designing these mechanisms, so as not to have survivors, so that they could be safer. ”
Everyone got up and patted the dirt on their bodies, "Oops, oops......" The guide snorted and stood up. Cui Fat walked up to him, "Here you go!" React quickly in the future. ”
When the guide picked it up, it was a bottle of powder. "This is my family's ancestral medicine, how can I go north and south without a bottle of medicine to treat injuries, you hurry up and put it on, don't howl there."
The guide used to be afraid and hated Cui Fatzi, afraid that it was because he never left the knife all day long, and he hated it because he was always targeting himself. But this bottle of medicine made him completely change this view. He knew that Cui Fatzi was this kind of person.
"Little fat man, thank you!" Tears are coming out of his eyes.
Cui Fatzi is the most unsightly like this, "You can't put it on, you can't give it to me, don't cry there, it's like a girl." The guide wiped the tears from his face. The horse monkey looked at the two of them and laughed out loud.
The horse monkey asked, "Brother Feng, you said that we have tossed our hometown like this, why hasn't the green dragon spirit come out yet?" Yue Feng thought for a moment, "I think he should be looking at the situation, we have already experienced the mercury technique and the crossbow array, if there is a mistake in two times, there is no need for him to come out." ”
At this time, Cui Fatzi had already walked from the place where the guide was standing to the coffin, "You mean, we escaped two catastrophes, if there is no trap behind, then he should have appeared by now?" ”
When everyone heard Cui Fatzi say this, they immediately felt that this was indeed the case, this green dragon spirit had not appeared, and there was only one explanation, that is, there was still an organ in this tomb that could cure them to death.
