Chapter 199: The Starting Point of Breaking the Formation

?“ How about it, Er Yang, you've been busy for the past two days, and you've tossed all the people over and over again, if you don't have a clue, be careful that woman eats you alive. Yang Lei walked to Chen Ziyang's side, lit a cigarette, and said to him.

"I have a clue, but there is no practical solution. Hey, it would be nice if my master was here, breaking this formation is a matter of holding a handle for him, but for me it is difficult to climb to the sky. ”

"Actually, you are already very powerful, you have learned almost the skills of the old way, and the treasure book handed down by your Chen family ancestor, the experience in it is also extraordinary, this old way is not as good as you, you have to have a little confidence in yourself."

Yang Lei's words gave Chen Ziyang a wake-up call, by the way, among the thousands of years of experience in tomb robbing, isn't there anyone who can learn from it to crack this gossip Li Dragon Array until now! So Chen Ziyang racked his brains in his mind, carefully recalling the records related to the various cracking of the tomb formation.

After some searching, Chen Ziyang finally had a breakthrough, and he remembered the Seven Dead Spirit Protector Array that appeared in the tomb where his grandfather died.

Now that I think about it, there is only the formation recorded in this story, which is the most similar to the current Bagua Li Dragon Formation. is also to choose a special coffin as a breakthrough point among the eight identical coffins, so this story is very referenced, so Chen Ziyang carefully recalled his grandfather's records.

His grandfather wrote in the book that his grandfather was the one who cracked this formation, although he finally touched the mechanism, but at least the grandfather's method of cracking it was correct, otherwise, there would not have been that brass compass that became an ancestral object. And the solution at that time was to find the difference between the eight coffins.

Different is different, this difference cannot be an ordinary difference, but must be found in the same coffin, the kind of very subtle difference, this difference cannot be artificial, otherwise it is easy to be misled. Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang hurriedly gathered everyone together and told everyone about his idea, but his words made more people feel at a loss for what to do with the back of their heads.

"What do you mean by a difference that doesn't happen intentionally, and a difference is a difference?" Hu Bo obviously didn't understand what Chen Ziyang meant, and he didn't understand the essence of it after listening to it for a long time.

Chen Ziyang knew that he had to come up with practical examples to make them understand what he meant, so that they could help them find the one that was different from the eight coffins. So he told the matter of the Seven Dead Guardians, but he didn't tell the specific background.

"I'll give you an analogy, let's say we have eight identical coffins in front of us, one of them is full of gold and silver treasures, and the other seven are full of murderous mechanisms, as long as you open the lid of the coffin, there will be crossbow arrows shot inside, if these eight coffins are placed in front of you, how can you pick out the coffin that contains gold and silver treasures."

"Are the eight coffins really exactly the same?"

"From the outside, it's exactly the same, there's no difference, and you can't open the lid of the coffin, which would touch the mechanism, and you only have one chance."

Seeing that everyone had no ideas, Chen Ziyang said the answer, in fact, he said that this matter was not to test these people, but just to let them understand through this example what kind of nuances can really be treated as differences, and not because they saw the loopholes deliberately arranged by man, which led to the mistake of the organ.

"The weight, the coffin containing the gold and silver treasures, must be heavier than the other coffins, so these eight coffins on the same ground, there must be slight differences, the real coffin with a particularly heavy weight, after being placed on the ground, the ground where the real coffin is placed must be different from the ground where the other seven coffins are placed."

Seeing that everyone seemed to understand or not, Chen Ziyang knew that although his goal had not been fully achieved, at least these people had already understood some of their own meanings. So according to the previous way of standing when he drew the picture, Chen Ziyang asked the eight people to go to the side of the eight coffins, let them watch carefully, and after watching for a while, he let the eight people go to the next coffin and look at the next coffin.

Originally, Chen Ziyang's idea was to completely observe the eight coffins by himself, and then summarize the different places, but because the area of this Bagua Li Dragon Array was too large, if he wanted to look at it one by one, he didn't know when he was going to see it.

So he can only use a compromise method, let eight people each look at a coffin, before and after carefully reading it, and then let them look at the next one, in this way, after these people have changed positions two or three times, they should be able to see the difference in a certain coffin, but the premise is that this person must be very careful, otherwise, it is very likely that there will be no discovery after a few turns.

After the eight people were in their respective positions, Chen Ziyang found a problem, because these coffins had been placed here for a long time, so the coffins were covered with dust and at the same time covered with a lot of cobwebs, so there was no way to find those subtle differences.

It's okay to say that the dust is just blowing, but these cobwebs are stuck to it, and there is no way to remove them by blowing, and at the same time, everyone doesn't dare to touch them with their hands, for fear of touching the mechanism inside, which makes Chen Ziyang difficult. On the contrary, Xiao Na was reminded by the flames around her, and she remembered that she could use the flames on the torches to help these people remove the cobwebs on them.

Because the previous torches had been burned out, Chen Ziyang contributed his cotton clothes and asked Xiao Na and the others to make a few more torches. When Chen Ziyang was fighting with the human-faced bat, he got under the tripod with a mechanism, and was deeply scratched by the hook under the tripod, which had already split his entire cotton clothes in half.

Later, after Chen Ziyang struggled with the human-faced bat, he fell from a height and fainted, during this time, Yang Lei changed him into the cotton clothes of a dead team member under Xiao Na, and then put Chen Ziyang's own cotton clothes on the outside of this cotton clothes.

Although the scratched cotton clothes can no longer keep warm, but that is only the part of the back that is scratched, the other places are still very warm, especially after the two cotton clothes were stacked together, so Chen Ziyang has always worn it like this, although it is slightly bulky, but it is indeed very warm.

Because most of the supplies and equipment carried by the team had been thrown away in the piranha pond, there were no more rags and other things that could be used to make torches, so Chen Ziyang contributed his own cotton clothes.

The eight lighted torches were handed to each of the eight men, who carefully removed the cobwebs from the coffins and blew off the dust with the torches, and then looked closely.

According to Chen Ziyang's judgment, the mechanisms in these coffins should be triggered by pulling these chains, so a slight touch of these coffins should not trigger the mechanisms in the coffins, which makes everyone feel a lot more relieved, and they can also get closer when observing, and at the same time they can see more carefully.

Eight people stayed in front of each coffin for about fifteen minutes, looked at these coffins front and back, left and right, and then moved to the next coffin to look carefully, just like that, an hour passed, just as everyone was about to change the coffin for the fifth time, Hu Bo suddenly stopped there and scratched his head.

After that, Hu Bo did not go to the next coffin, but walked to the previous coffin he had seen before, Chen Ziyang saw Hu Bo's unreasonable behavior, knew that he might have found something, so he quickly followed Hu Bo to that place.

"How's it going, have you found anything?" Chen Ziyang asked eagerly, you must know that at this time, even a slight error in judgment may lead to the failure of the first step in judging this broken formation.

"I'm not sure either, you let me take another look." After Hu Bo finished speaking, he looked at the coffin in front of him carefully, and at the same time he was thinking about it, and after watching it for a long time, he ran to the next coffin, still lying there and watching for a while, and then slapped his thigh and said to Chen Ziyang: "It's almost, it should be this, I'll tell the reason, you help me analyze and analyze." ”

After Hu Bo finished speaking, he pulled Chen Ziyang to the tail of the coffin, and then pointed to the iron chain that stretched into the coffin and said to Chen Ziyang: "You take a closer look at these scratches under the chain. ”

Chen Ziyang looked at the place Hu Bo pointed to, and then he understood what Hu Bo meant, the whole coffin was tightly sealed by two iron hoops, one horizontal and one vertical, staggered into a cross-like pattern on the coffin.

And just below the iron hoop that was erected, on the side of the coffin under the coffin, there was a hole, and an iron chain sticking out of the fifth coffin reached through this hole.

At the edge of the hole where the chain entered, there was a circle of mouths made of copper skin. The function of this wrapper is mainly to protect the wood around the hole, to prevent the iron chain from directly rubbing against the wooden board when pulling in and out, after all, even if the wood is tight, it is not as strong as the copper skin, and it is easy to break under this strong friction, so as to expose the contents of the coffin, or make the mechanism ineffective.

With this copper wrap, when the iron chain enters and exits the coffin, it can only rub the surface of the copper skin first, so that the copper skin will play a good role in protecting the surrounding wood. And the place that Hu Bo is referring to is some scratches on this piece of copper wrapped in it.

"I just saw that the previous coffins also had such copper sheets, and there were also scratches on the copper sheets, but their scratches were relatively few, and at the same time relatively shallow, but you see the scratches on this coffin, the number of strips is very large, and the scratches are also relatively deep, it seems that when the iron chain enters and exits this coffin, it pulls longer, and at the same time it is more forceful, I don't know if this is the kind of different place that you said cannot be imitated."

Listening to Hu Bo's words, Chen Ziyang's eyes lit up, and he felt that Hu Bo had found the right direction, and the difference he found was very likely to directly judge that this coffin should be the entrance to the real cracking formation.

Then Chen Ziyang lay on the edge of this piece of copper skin, looked at it carefully for a long time, and then went to the two coffins on the left and right of this coffin, and also looked carefully for a while, and then he understood what Hu Bo meant, and sure enough, as Hu Bo said, this piece of copper skin is more worn, and there are more friction marks on it.

So Chen Ziyang nodded and beckoned everyone to come over, and began to open the coffin in front of him. Because there are no tools to take advantage of, when everyone opens the two iron hoops on the coffin, they can only use daggers and bayonets and other tools that are not very handy, so when these two iron hoops are opened, the entire surface of the coffin has been destroyed.

Everyone was careful when opening the coffin, for fear that if they chose the wrong coffin, there would be a mechanism inside. But when this coffin was opened, Chen Ziyang breathed a sigh of relief, he chose the right one! It seems that Hu Bo is really a lucky man in this operation. Not only had he saved everyone twice before, but this time he noticed such a subtle difference in the coffin, and it seemed that the word of good luck was really reflected in Hu Bo's body.

After the coffin was opened, Chen Ziyang saw that what was placed in the coffin was neither gold and silver treasures, nor corpses or anything like that, but a wheel that seemed to be used on a well before, and on this wheel, there were full of iron chains wrapped around it, and there was a long crank on top of the wheel.

And inside this coffin, where several coffin boards were handed over, there were a few things like bolts, and then Chen Ziyang and a few people pulled out all these bolts, and the boards of the entire coffin were all separated and fell aside.

Looking at this stance, the rest of the thing should be to shake the crank on the wheel, so that the wheel rotates, driving the chains to wrap around the wheel, so as to pull these chains and trigger the mechanism in the distance.

Chen Ziyang asked the other nine people except him to hide in the distance and lie on the ground, so as to prevent the mechanism in the array from being touched by choosing the wrong coffin. Chen Ziyang grabbed the handle on the wheel and shook it vigorously. But even if he used his strength to feed, this handle didn't move at all.

It seems that it is because the years have passed, and the dust has blocked the chain and other places, or because the iron chain is too long, Chen Ziyang alone does not have enough strength to pull these organs at all.

So Yang Lei and Umbrella Shishuai took the initiative to come over, the two of them stood on the side of the wheel, Chen Ziyang stood on the front of the wheel, the three of them shouted slogans together, and turned the handle on the wheel vigorously, and then only heard a loud sound, and the chain actually moved slowly.
