Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 334 Strange Power (4000)

After checking it carefully, Wu Liang soon discovered a very strange problem.

Although the "mechanical seal" looks like it is made up of many parts at first glance, there is no fixed setting such as rivets or bolts on its surface, let alone any "keyhole" or "keyhole". Controlling Organs” section.

you could put it that way.

The surface of this "mechanical seal", except for the patterns used for decoration, is completely composed of multiple simple planes that are seamlessly stitched together, which looks like a huge alien Rubik's cube.

"Could it be that this thing is simply piled up from some giant metal blocks?"

Wu Liang frowned slightly, with some doubts in his heart.

Although this possibility is not impossible, enclosing the coffin of the owner of the tomb in this way is like putting a thick layer of armor on the coffin, which can also play a certain role in preventing theft, at least not just a few tomb robbers. It can be done, but Wu Liang feels that things should not be so simple.

After all, this is the mausoleum of Lu Ban, the ancestor of craftsman, and this thing may be the "machine seal" developed by him himself.

If you really just used such a simple and low-level anti-theft method, it doesn't matter if you are disappointed, the main thing is that you are really sorry for Lu Ban's name.

So Wu Liang feels that this thing is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface...

but.

"Dian Wei, Yang Wanli, you two put on your gas masks, come over and try with me to see if you can push this thing."

Wu Liang turned his head and said to Dian Wei and Yang Wanli.

"promise!"

The two stepped forward immediately.

According to Wu Liang's instructions, they jointly pushed one of the metal blocks in one direction.

If this thing is really a simple accumulation, with Dian Wei's extraordinary brute force, coupled with the assistance of Wu Liang and Yang Wanli, at least it can be moved slightly.

"Listen to my password, work together, one, two, three, push!"

"Hey!"

Sure enough, as Wu Liang expected, nothing moved...

This also confirmed Wu Liang's previous speculation that there must be a mystery hidden in this "secret seal".

Perhaps each piece of metal is interlocked like the "Luban lock", just like the Luban lock in the Chumu Cemetery, and finally formed a whole.

Or maybe there are other unknown hidden organs arranged in it.

If it is a "Luban lock", the breakthrough should be the last piece of metal filled in, and only the last filled part of the assembled "Luban lock" can move, and the remaining parts are all buckled.

But Wu Liang ruled out this possibility after careful consideration.

Because the "Luban lock" is based on its special combination method, it is impossible to form such an upright cuboid.

Moreover, the difficulty of assembling the "Luban lock" is actually more difficult than dismantling. If this thing is really a giant metal "Luban lock", it is not embarrassing them, the tomb robbers, but embarrassing Luban himself. Every part of this thing seems to weigh a few tons. When assembled in this way, even if some large lifting equipment is used, it is definitely not a joke.

But if it wasn't for "Luban Lock"...

What kind of mechanism would make this thing so closely connected?

Wu Liang continued to observe the "mechanism seal" in front of him, constantly making assumptions in his mind, and then overturning them.

But there is one thing Wu Liang can be sure of.

As long as the thing in front of me is used in the right way, it must be disassembled, otherwise there will be no such seams on it. Wouldn't it be better to melt the contents directly into such a large piece of metal?
"Again! One, two, three, push!"

Wu Liang was still a little unwilling, so he called Dian Wei and Yang Wanli to try again.

"Hey--!"

This time the three of them worked even harder, their faces were all swollen and red, and their veins bulged like earthworms.

"Ch..."

What Wu Liang didn't expect was that this time, accompanied by the slight noise, the piece of metal was actually slightly dislocated by a small gap of about one centimeter.

"Stop first!"

Wu Liang was pleasantly surprised, but at this moment the three of them had lost their strength, so Wu Liang had no choice but to stop and told everyone to slow down before continuing.

However, the three of them just relaxed.

"Snapped!"

There was another crisp sound, and the gap that was so hard to open suddenly closed again for some reason!
? !
Seeing this scene, everyone was startled and quickly took a few steps back.

The feeling just now was very weird, as if something was pulling the piece of metal inside, unless there was a sustained force to push the piece of metal away in one breath, otherwise all previous efforts would be in vain.

However, without the aid of equipment, just relying on Wu Liang and a few people to push it open a gap has already exerted all their strength, and it is impossible to continue to exert force.

the most important is.

What was it that pulled the big metal back to its original position?
Machine spring?

Organ beast?
Or something else weird?

The gap that Wu Liang and the others pushed open just now was still too small, and they had no chance to observe the situation inside the metal block through the gap.

"Jingjing, what unusual movement did you hear just now?"

Wu Liang frowned, trying to analyze the situation inside the "Mechanical Seal" from other aspects.

"I didn't hear anything except the sound of the gap being closed being pushed away by you."

Bai Jingjing shook her head and said.

"..."

Wu Liang felt even more strange.

If it is something like a "machine spring", it will definitely be deformed by the force just now, so that it can generate force to pull the heavy metal block back, and it should make some sounds.

And if it is a "mechanism beast" similar to the wood magpie...

Wu Liang also couldn't tell if he would make any noise.

But at this moment, he has already made up a terrible picture in his mind.

This "mechanism seal" may be a large mechanism beast, it may complete the transformation and stand up like the "Autobot" at any time, and the metal block they pushed just now may be a part of this thing's body.

They pushed it a little, and it retracted immediately...

But this also doesn't make sense.

Because judging from the previous wooden magpie, the organ beast should be in a sleepless state. If it sensed the arrival of Wu Liang and others, and was even "broken" by Wu Liang and others, how could it be able to sit still? Can't wait, didn't he jump up and kill them young people?
unless.

The body of this organ beast is such a large container.

It can only be like a tortoise, squatting here forever and shrinking into a ball, guarding the things inside with its indestructible body and power that ordinary people cannot match...

"perhaps……"

While brainstorming, Wu Liang suddenly thought of something, immediately looked at Dian Wei again and stretched out his hand, "Brother Dian Wei, give me that thing."

What he wanted was Bai Jingjing's "Love Menstrual Towel".

After dealing with the wooden magpie, in order to prevent encountering other things similar to the wooden magpie, Dian Wei never discarded the wooden handle tied with the "love menstrual scarf".

In view of his previous experience in dealing with the wood magpie, he decided to use the method of elimination, first to eliminate the problem he was most worried about.

If this thing has nothing to do with the mechanism beast, it will not change if it is painted with dirty blood, but if this thing is a unique mechanism beast, it will be useless if it is painted with dirty blood. The "machine seal" opened automatically.

"Defend the law for me."

Holding the wooden handle tied with the "Love Menstrual Towel", Wu Liang approached the "Mechanical Seal" slowly with great care.

After all, this move poses a fatal threat to things like mechanism beasts. If this thing is really a mechanism beast, what will it do if it feels threatened?

at this time.

"Dong dong!"

"Dong dong!"

"Boom!"...

The knocking sounds in those vertical burial coffins suddenly sounded again, much more urgent and anxious than before.

"Depend on!"

Wu Liang was concentrating on it at first, but he was startled by the sudden sound after a long silence, he trembled and couldn't help but curse secretly.

But after scolding, he still had to beat his mysterious snare drum again to suppress.

"..."

Everyone was also startled by the sudden movement, and moved closer to each other a little uncomfortably.

This voice is like a urging talisman that is getting faster and faster, always reminding Wu Liang and others that there are a group of red-eyed evil creatures watching around them, making them always feel a string in their hearts. , Did not dare to relax vigilance.

After this very morale-affecting episode.

Wu Liang regrouped, took a deep breath and approached the "machine seal" again.

When he was only a few meters away from the "Ji Feng", he rushed forward again, and rushed to the "Ji Feng" in an instant. Then, taking advantage of the "Ji Feng" not paying attention, he waved the wooden handle in his hand and used all his strength. A dark red bloodstain was drawn on the "machine seal".

During this process, Wu Liang couldn't help feeling an embarrassing feeling that he was fighting wits with the air.

Because until he smeared the dirty blood on the body of "Ji Feng", and then backed away with lightning speed, "Ji Feng" didn't make any reaction at all.

After that, Wu Liang stood at a distance and waited for about 1 minute.

This was longer than the time it took for the wooden magpie to be stained with blood and lose its mana, but the "machine seal" still didn't move.

"It seems that this thing has nothing to do with the mechanism beast and the like, so it can only be a dead thing like a 'mechanical spring', right?"

Wu Liang was not disappointed, no matter what, he first ruled out a wrong answer.

It's just that if the power to re-close just now is actually a "mechanical spring", I'm afraid this thing is not easy to deal with.

Because it is now a combined rectangular parallelepiped container, with no entrances and exits, and no mechanism that can be controlled, only the powerful "mechanical spring" inside.

It is not an easy task to open this thing like this.

Even with the indestructible "Diamond Diamond", facing such a thick metal barrier, it would probably take at least several hours of effort to break through.

And it may take longer to dig to the extent that they can enter it to find out.

Wu Liang looked back at the vertical burial coffins behind him. He always felt that the things in those vertical burial coffins would not give them such a long time.

"Dianwei, Yang Wanli, let's push again."

Wu Liang thought about it for a while, and finally decided to try again. In case this thing is a mechanism beast, it should have been quietly destroyed by the blood, and maybe it can be pushed away bit by bit. Maybe.

But he still had a hand, and when he was done, he told Bai Jingjing: "Jingjing, take this chisel, once the three of us push a gap, you will immediately insert the chisel into it."

As long as the chisel can be inserted, even if there is any force in it to pull back, it will be stuck by the chisel.

In addition, the chisel will also become a labor-saving lever, thus prying the metal block is much less labor-intensive than Wu Liang and others pushing the metal block.

By the way.

Wu Liang can also take the opportunity to carefully examine the internal structure of the "mechanical seal", so as to find out the correct way to crack it.

"clear."

Bai Jingjing responded, and followed the three of them with a chisel in hand.

In this way, Wu Liang and the other three repeated their old tricks, exhausting all their strength and finally pushed the metal block through a gap.

"Chong!"

Bai Jingjing also had quick eyesight and quick hands, she seized the opportunity and inserted the chisel in instantly.

"Good job!"

When Wu Liang and the other three let go of their hands, the chisel was immediately clamped tightly in the gap. The force of pulling back this time still existed, but there was no way to close the gap anymore.

"Wu Youcai, there is one thing you need to pay attention to."

But Bai Jingjing immediately frowned and said, "When I was standing by the side holding the chisel and waiting, for some reason, I felt a strange force, as if it was going to take the chisel away from me, so I just held it tightly. let go."

"Weird strength?"

Wu Liang's smile faltered, and he hurriedly asked, "Where does this strength come from?"

Everyone's vests were also slightly chilled.

They clearly didn't see anything just now, but Bai Jingjing said that there was a strange force trying to snatch the chisel from her hand, this...

Could it be that there really is a legendary evil ghost in this underground palace?

And it was precisely because the ghost was aware of their intentions that he tried to take the chisel from Bai Jingjing's hand, so as to stop them?

"It's from here..."

Bai Jingjing pointed to the "Ji Feng" and said.

"This……"

Wu Liang quickly analyzed the situation in his mind, hoping to find a reasonable explanation.

at the same time.

"Young master, this is not a good omen!"

But Yu Ji had already jumped out, wrinkled his old face and said in trepidation, "It is rumored that every coffin that has undergone a mutation will be filled with strong corpse aura, and this corpse aura is intimately related to Yin Qi, so it can only be passed through the night." The coffin can only be opened when it is extremely cloudy, and if it is daytime, the coffin will be sucked in by the corpse, even if the overlord Xiang Yu comes in person, he will definitely not be able to open the coffin!"

"Now you, Dian Wei, and Yang Wanli can't push this strange golden coffin open together. Even if you finally push open a gap, it will close again immediately, and Miss Jingjing almost got the chisel out of her hand..."

"This is undoubtedly an extremely ominous omen, why don't we go, this golden coffin doesn't matter if we don't open it, we won't be afraid that there will be no firewood if we leave the green hills, my lord!"
