Chapter 32: The Flop
This figurine is red all over, much taller and stronger than ordinary people, and the outline of its face is more blurred, the only thing that is more delicate is the thing in its tray, the brand inside is a little dark, and then take a closer look, it is made of silver.
After Tofu finished speaking, Zhen Rui said lukewarmly: "It is indeed a flip, but if you turn it wrong, it will be a catastrophe." β
What do you mean?
I couldn't help but look at Zhen Rui, but he didn't say much, just pointed behind the figurine, and motioned for everyone to look behind. We looked around the figurines and looked back, and suddenly found that the tunnel behind the figurines had been hollowed out, forming a hole in the ground that could not be seen at a glance, and the surrounding stone walls, under the illumination of the lights, were red. I saw that the four walls behind the figurines were wrapped in a layer of oil wax, and inside the oil wax was red fire oil!
Tofu gasped and said, "There is fire oil in all directions, hiss...... If you don't pay attention to this, you'll be burned alive. β
I said, "From now on, don't move open fires, don't make loud noises, and don't touch the surrounding walls." β
Tofu blinked, stretched his neck to look down, only to see the figurines were hollowed out of the hole below, the light shines is also a piece of oil, the entire oil pool, there are some plum blossom pile-like square stone pillars highlighted, the interval between the stone pillars and the stone pillars, about two meters, it seems, we want to cross this oil belt, we can only pass through these stone pillars.
But what makes people tricky is that these stone pillars, some of which are thick enough to accommodate people to sit on them, and some of them are thin enough to put down half a foot, spanning a distance of about two meters between the stone pillars, there is a certain risk, and now some of the stone pillars that fall are so thin that they can't even stand on one foot, what should I do?
According to the current situation, we can't get through at all, even if we have something like the probe claw in our hands, but the walls are surrounded by oil, and the probe claw has no landing point at all, if we want to move on, the only way is to walk these plum blossom pile-like stone pillars, but obviously, these stone pillars are not for people to walk, even if the monkey walks, it may not be successful.
Wen Min looked around, picked up a piece of gravel from the corner of the wall, and smashed it into one of the thin stone pillars in the oil pit in front of him. Hearing a thud, the stone pillar did not move at all, and it appeared very solid, while the fist-sized stone was bounced away and submerged in the oil of fire.
After doing this, Wen Min said: "It seems that these stone pillars are safe, there is no mechanism, this fire oil pit is to stop the tomb robbers from advancing, otherwise, you must risk your life." β
Tofu said strangely: "Since they are to stop the tomb robbers, why do they still erect these stone pillars?" Wouldn't it be better if even the stone pillars were removed, and not give people a little hope? β
Hearing this, Bai Chopping Chicken opened his eyes weakly and sneered: "Fool, to build a tomb passage mechanism, the workers themselves have to enter and exit, of course, the back road will not be completely cut off, unless there is another secret passage in the underground palace." Hearing this, Zhen Rui nodded slightly, expressing his agreement with Bai Chopping Chicken's words, and said: "It seems that the structure of this tomb of the Giant Ear King is very rigorous, and there is no secret passage, so this fire oil pit will have a glimmer of life." Speaking of this, he seemed to remember something, and then said: "However, this stone pillar is indeed a little strange, and the craftsmen in the past would not have such good skills...... There must be other mechanisms that can manipulate these pillars. β
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes focused on the figurines, in this place, apart from this strange figurines, where is there anything else?
Tofu circled around the figurines, from head to toe, from left to right, and finally came to a conclusion: "This is an inferior product, there are too many raw edges, but this layer of paint is very strange, this is more than a thousand years, and I don't speculate, what is it that is so red and gorgeous?" β
Zhen Rui discerned for a moment and said; "It's cinnabar."
Cinnabar?
Why did you paint this figurine with cinnabar? Everyone was amazed, and the tofu boldly reached out to touch it. This time I didn't let him succeed, I slapped his paws, let him be honest, don't move his hands and feet, this beat the tofu and retreated, but it just so happened that the one named Shen Hao was standing behind the tofu, with a small probe shovel inserted in his waist, the shovel handle was facing forward, the tofu retreated, and the butt was pushed to the shovel.
I was so shocked that I almost didn't stare out of my eyes, Wen Min's eyes were quick, and I felt that I was pulling the tofu to my side, but it was too late, and I saw that the figurines hit by the tofu were very strong, as if they were fixed in place, and they didn't move, the only change was that the layer of red cinnabar on its body began to peel off slowly, just like inferior paint, forming bubbles, and then cracking and falling to the ground.
I wanted to scold Tofu, but the next scene left me speechless with shock.
After the cinnabar peeled off, the faded figurines were revealed, and then everyone realized that the figurines were not made of mud, but a material similar to glass, with a thin layer on the surface, but countless brackets inside!
Zhen Rui was surprised and said, "The mechanism is really here!" β
I saw through the transparent body of the figurines, you can see the very tight internal envelope, and the most striking thing is that there are eight iron wire-like things, one end is connected to the silver medal in the figurine tray, and the other end enters the complex body structure of the figurine, and finally burrows into the ground, it is obvious that these eight silver medals are the key to controlling the entire mechanism.
At this time, if Ghost Feng was here, things would be much easier.
I saw that these eight lines were very tight, and it was estimated that as long as the silver medal was moved slightly, the lines inside would be pulled, and in the process, no one could predict what kind of results those shadows buried in the ground would have.
Everyone was shocked by this transparent figurine for a while, and the person who fought backwards knew that destroying mechanisms was also a craft, and naturally had seen some internal mechanisms, but it was the first time I had seen something like this. I heard Zhong Gong say in astonishment: "This figurine turned out to be a mechanism inside? What material is this made of, and how does it look like inferior glass to me? Saying this, he reached out and touched it gently, but the figurine did not react.
Zhen Rui shook his head slightly and said, "It's not glass, it should be white rammed earth." "The so-called white rammed earth is not real soil, but a relatively rare animal called 'mountain ramp', ground into powder mixed with ordinary white mud paste, with the passage of time, it will become crystal clear, in ancient times, someone specially hunted this animal to make some precious pearl flowers, modern has been extremely rare.
Tofu covered his ass and said, "I guessed right, just to make us flip the cards." β
At this time, Zhong Gong suddenly said: "Brother Dou, you can do it, why did you discover everything first?" When he said this, there was a playful look on his face, obviously just an unintentional question, but I suddenly wondered in my heart, and felt that something was wrong.
It's a coincidence, but it can't be a coincidence, right?
The tofu noodles did not change color, and said: "That's because I'm smart, and I'm also an artist!" You guys, apart from digging graves, what else can you do, you have no culture, it's terrible. Zhen Rui said lukewarmly: "Artist, shut up." β
Tofu saw that Zhen Rui was angry, shrunk his neck and confessed, I pondered Zhong Gong's words just now, but because of the large number of people, it was not good to ask Tofu more, I only felt full of doubts: Tofu first discovered the mechanism in advance, and then saw through the doorway of this figurine, is this a coincidence, or does he know something?
Impossible...... It was the first time he had come to the tomb of the Giant Ear King, how could he possibly know this?
Suddenly, I thought of the corpse fairy, thought of what Tofu had been avoiding mentioning, and said in my heart: Could it be the reason for the corpse fairy?
After thinking about it, I felt that the corpse fairy was completely insane, so how could he sue sΓΉ tofu something?
Confused, Zhen Rui and several other professionals had already begun to study the internal structure of this figurine, apparently wanting to study this mechanism thoroughly. I knew that it was useless to think about this at this time, so I secretly paid more attention to tofu, and then followed Zhen Rui and others to study the internal mechanism of this figurine.
However, due to the fact that the texture of this layer of white rammed earth on the surface of the figurines is not clear, we can't look at the internal structure carefully. β
Zhong Gong scolded him: "Don't let them pull the cock eggs, don't you see that the thread inside is very tight?" If you move, you have to finish the game. β
We observed around this figurine for more than half an hour, but still found nothing, at this moment, my heart moved, thinking of the table before the tofu, I had the heart to test, and said to him: "Don't you want to turn over the brand?" Why don't you give a building, how to translate it? β
Tofu looked at me strangely, pointed to his nose and said, "You let me come?" When did you trust me so much, didn't you tell me not to cause trouble? I don't dare to guess about this life-threatening matter, so let's study it carefully. He shrugged his shoulders and lay on the ground and said, "I'll sleep for a while, and you can continue." "I really want to kick his gauze ass, look at him like this, I guess I thought too much about it before.
In desperation, we can only continue to consume, a full delay of two or three hours, everyone is a little anxious, as the saying goes, interlacing is like a mountain, the mechanism of this thing, if you don't understand, then it is the same as a primary school student reading calculus, and you will not understand it for a lifetime. In the end, I could only grit my teeth and decide to try one by one, and once something happened, I would withdraw.
Having made up our minds, we gathered in front of the tray and stared at the silver medal on it.
Wen Min said: "Which one?" β
I said, "Whatever." Then, I took a deep breath and reached out to pinch the silver medal that attracted me at first glance.
