Chapter 200 Ghostwork Lock

Lin Yi used local materials and used water and mud to seal the cracks in the big tank with yellow mud.

Then he took out the paracord from the bag, threw it over the top of the coffin chamber, made a strong cross buckle back and forth, and then installed the pulley.

Tightly tie the paracords hanging from all sides to the two ends of the sarcophagus.

If you want to confirm your thoughts now, this coffin must be opened!

When everything was ready, Lin Yi silently recited in his heart, "God's blessing, there are no taboos!"

Leap forward and jump onto the coffin of the sarcophagus.

After bowing his hands and saluting, he recited "Lift the coffin and make a fortune!" Then, he stood on the top of the coffin and pulled the parachute rope to raise the tail of the coffin board.

"There is a door!"

Sure enough, the sarcophagus was not sealed.

Lin Yi took out the gas mask from his bag and put it on, holding a candle in one hand and a funeral coin in the other, and looked into the coffin with the faint candlelight.

Although the sarcophagus is very large, there is no corpse inside.

It's an empty coffin!
Seeing this, Lin Yi's uneasy heart finally fell into his stomach.

This proved that his previous inference was correct. This was a tomb that had not been officially completed.

From this, Lin Yi speculated that the reason why the owner of the tomb placed the coffin properly was that he wanted to imitate the Buddhist "urn burial" method, reshape his golden body before encoffining.

Since there is no body, there is no possibility of "big rice dumplings".

Lin Yi let go of his hands and feet and hoisted the heavy coffin board as quickly as possible, feeling a little disappointed.

There is neither Lu Shang's personal clothes nor the "Qingzhou Tripod", one of the "Nine Tripods".

There are not even any funeral objects, only a stone box that looks inconspicuous.

This stone box is about one meter square, and the weight is very heavy.

If Wang Qiang was still here, it would be most suitable for him to do this kind of work.

It's a pity that now Lin Yi can only do it himself, first put the coffin lid aside with the lifting device of the parachute, then tie the stone box with the parachute, and then lift it out of the coffin.

The outer layer of the stone box is carved from a whole block of stone, and there are no patterns on the whole body except for the traces of chiseling.

There is an extremely small gap in the middle, which divides the stone box into upper and lower parts. In an inconspicuous position, there is a "dizi" pattern mark.

"Flute" is Han Xiangzi's magic weapon and one of the "Dark Eight Immortals".

Since it is the mark left by that senior, there must be something very important inside.

Lin Yi took out the engineering shovel and opened the outer layer of the stone box along the slits. Inside was a round cast iron hollow ball, which was about the size of an adult's fist.

There are dozens of delicate chains around the iron ball.

Each chain is different in length, one end is connected to the cover plate of the base of the stone box, and the other end is inserted into the hollow gap of the ball.

If you don't look closely, this thing looks like a sea urchin covered in spines.

Lin Yi recognized the year of this thing at a glance - an object from the early Tang Dynasty.

And it's also a mechanism lock.

It has the same effect as the one outside: the eight-treasure rotating core mechanism lock.

The mechanism setting of this lock is a bit like "ivory carving set ball", which is also commonly known as "ghost work ball".

It belongs to a very complicated tooth carving process.

Take a piece of ivory, now grind it into a ball shape.

Then use a carving knife to open several windows in the outermost layer, peel the outer layer from the inner wall, and form a ball inside.

By analogy, when these spheres are formed one after another, they begin to use tools to carve out exquisite patterns and patterns on each layer of spheres.

When this craft was introduced to the Qing Dynasty, skilled craftsmen could already carve 20-layer ghost balls, which can be called unique in the world.

In the Tang Dynasty, this craft was just a prototype.

However, when it is used on a cast iron lock, it will not be as delicate and careful as carving ivory.

After figuring out the principle of this hollow iron ball, opening it is not a big problem.

This kind of heart lock needs to be opened from the innermost side.

Open one layer, and the chain connected to the base cover will be unlocked.

When all these chains are untied, the cover can be opened.

As for what was inside, it is not known.

Lin Yi took out the silver needle, made two picking needles with three strokes, wrapped them around his two Emei thorns, placed the candle on the edge of the stone box, and began to concentrate on unlocking it.

This lock is not like the one outside, Lin Yi needs to find the so-called hints by himself.

As long as it understands the structure of this lock, it is not difficult to open it.

The only difficulty is that the unlocker needs to be very careful and have enough patience.

Once the outer mechanism is accidentally touched, one layer is locked and the lock cannot be opened again.

Lin Yi only opened the innermost layer of locks, and he was already so nervous that his forehead was sweating and his heart beat faster.

At this time, he has to force himself to rest and calm himself down. Don't be in a hurry, lest he be overwhelmed by "anger" and split into another self, and then approve the lock in a fit of anger, and the game will be over up.

After a short rest, Lin Yi picked up the pick needle again and opened the penultimate layer of the chain.

The live broadcast equipment has been installed on Wang Qiang.

All the netizens in the live broadcast room could only watch from a distance, and it was a big blur, and they couldn't see what he was doing at all.

The "Hong Kong Trio" saw them escaping from the ice room. They were so angry that they even smashed two mobile phones.

Now, however, they are gloating again.

The descendants of the Southern School have always intersected with Siamese Buddhism, various Southeast Asian religions, and Western religions.

So when they learned that Lin Yi and the others were trapped in the "Three Poisons", they wanted to open a bottle of red wine to celebrate.

Far away in the Bai family's old house in Shangjing, the two old men were still chatting leisurely, but Bai Lu was so anxious that she wanted to get into the screen to help them.

This "ghost public lock" has nine layers in total, and Lin Yi is like dismantling a time bomb on each layer, carefully and carefully.

Also pay attention to controlling your emotions at all times.

It took more than an hour to disassemble the nine layers of chains, and Lin Yi's clothes were soaked with sweat.

Finally, I heard the sound of the outermost chain falling on the cover of the stone box.

There was a "crash", and the cover of the stone box came loose.

Lin Yi gently raised a corner with the Emei thorn, and aimed the corner at an open place.

This is the experience summed up by the seniors of Mojin Yimen with their lives.

These "craftsmen" who fought upside down often did not fall into the traps of the tomb, but died in the hands of "clear weapons".

Lin Yi held a candle and inspected it carefully. There was no poisonous mist floating in the stone box, nor was there any hidden weapon released.

Only then did he approach boldly and boldly, and suddenly lifted the cover.

Inside are two things:

A brocade box less than two feet long, and a tortoise shell engraved with words.
