Chapter 2 The Past 2
Picking up plates is a special term for stinky eaters, but when encountering difficult tombs, usually two to three people cooperate, one person throws the precious tomb objects to another person, and the other person is in the robbery cave or Catch the thrown items closer to the robbery hole, and then quickly move away from the tomb.

In this case, even if the mechanism is triggered when taking the sacrificial object, because the mechanism in the ancient tomb either needs a certain amount of time to operate or fails for a long time, there is a little time from the trigger to the actual effect, so this time is enough to pick up the plate Many people ran into the robbery hole or stayed away from the tomb.In this way, even if the mechanism is triggered, at least one person can survive to take out a few valuable things.

Because the job of receiving the plate is to sacrifice a person in exchange for the tomb object, so usually this way of taking the tomb object can only be done voluntarily by the family tomb robber or the person who threw the plate.

Of course, it is not always possible to pick up the plate. If the place where the tomb objects are taken is far away from the robbery cave, the person who receives the plate after triggering the mechanism will not have time to run into the robbery cave, or the mechanism that is sensitive and effective immediately will be triggered. This approach is basically useless.

But most of the time, receiving the dish is very effective, because the robbery hole was dug later, and there is no mechanism that can work on the robbery hole, so as long as you take the dish and enter the robbery hole, basically the dish is considered a success , the remaining thing is that the person who threw the plate quickly evacuated, and at the same time observe whether the mechanism was triggered or how to rescue the person who threw the plate after the mechanism was triggered.

The two-foot-long part of the robbery hole next to the tomb was dug wide, so that the tomb robbers could turn around here.Usually, the width of the robbery hole can only allow one person to pass through. Firstly, it is faster to dig like this, and secondly, such a robbery hole is not easy to collapse.

And this place, which is wider than other parts of the robbery cave, is called the "living mouth".The original meaning is "gap", which refers to a relatively wide place. Later, it was called "huokou" in homonym. Hope to go back alive.The width of the living mouth allows two people to pass sideways.The second child followed the middle-aged man's words, crawled into the living room, and turned to look at his father.

The middle-aged man slowly circled the eight sarcophagi, observing whether there were any mechanisms hidden in the lids of the eight sarcophagi, or which sarcophagus was different from the others.

This difference can only be in the details. If there is a sarcophagus that is less obvious than other sarcophagi, it is easier to be observed, such as the size or shape of one of the sarcophagi. It is slightly different from other sarcophagi, so in all likelihood, this sarcophagus is a fake coffin, and the owner of the tomb deliberately made you think it was a real coffin.

But it is also possible that the owner of the tomb is suspicious because it is actually a real coffin. The owner of the tomb wants you to think that the real one is fake, so you can choose a trigger mechanism from other fake coffins.So the different details that middle-aged men are looking for are the kind of details that cannot be artificially produced.Only that kind of detail can tell which sarcophagus is the real one.

The middle-aged man turned around and planted seven small torches on the ground around the entire tomb, and the torches were inserted directly into the gaps in the stone bricks on the ground.The position of the torch is also very particular. The torch is not far or close to the sarcophagus. If it is too far away, the light from the fire will not be clear, and if it is too close, it may trigger the mechanism.

The torches were inserted in the same straight line in the gap between every two coffins, so that the rest of the sarcophagus could be seen clearly except the end of the coffin.

But there is also a disadvantage of inserting a torch, that is, the oxygen in the tomb burns too fast, and the temperature of the tomb will increase at the same time.It would be fine if it was in some large tombs, but the tomb of the seven guardian spirits is relatively small and low. Although it has been windy all night, the oxygen is still sufficient at this time, but the seven torches on the ground In addition to the hands of two people, the nine torches are burning together, and it won't last long.

If it is possible to dig a hole in another direction to allow the air to circulate, then it doesn't matter to light a few more torches, but this is obviously not feasible at this time.The middle-aged man knew that he was running out of time, so he quickened his pace and walked around the sarcophagus a few more times.

Firstly, the temperature of the tomb room rose due to the torches, and secondly, because the middle-aged man was anxious, beads of sweat dripped from his forehead.The middle-aged man held a compass in his hand, and wanted to quickly check the directions of the eight sarcophagi, or see if there was any change in the pointer of the compass Tianchi, but he found that the pointer of the compass rotated wildly, and the compass did not move at all. usefulness.

This is also expected, how can a person who can put on a top-level anti-theft formation like Qishang Guardian Spirit not expect to affect the compass.There must be some iron blocks or magnets buried around the tomb that can affect the compass pointer.

The middle-aged man put away the compass, quickened his pace, and at the same time his mind was running fast. "Where is the breakthrough? The eight sarcophagi look exactly the same, what's different? The outside is the same, but the inside?
Yes, inside!The things in the sarcophagus are different!There should be a lot of funerary objects in the sarcophagus of the owner of the tomb!There is nothing in this tomb except the sarcophagus, and the funerary objects should all be in the sarcophagus of the owner of the tomb.There should be a lot of gold and silver objects in the funerary objects. Moreover, judging by the size of the sarcophagus, the sarcophagus may be an inner and outer coffin, and there may even be a coffin in the sarcophagus of the owner of the tomb!
And the seven sarcophagi of the Qishang spirit protection formation should only contain the corpses of the spirits.What is Shangling?After the general died on the battlefield, he used weapons to recruit his soul into it, tortured and refined the soul of the general with secret methods, aroused the resentment and unwillingness of the general's soul, and refined it into a ghost.Then seal the spirit of the war into a container made from the corpse of the original general.

The spirit of the spirit is extremely cruel, but the seven spirits are imprisoned together with the spirit talisman and the formation, and the tyrannical spirit of the spirit will temporarily reach a balance, and the spirit will fall into a deep sleep, and will not wake up until this balance is broken Come.There will be no coffins or some funerary objects in the sarcophagus of the ghosts, and it is even more impossible to fill them with things of equal weight like stones to pretend to be real coffins, because the sundries will weaken the effect of the formation, and it is very difficult to It is easy to make the spirit wake up by itself. If the awakened spirit does not eat human souls for a long time, it will slowly dissipate. In this way, the effect of using the spirit to protect the spirit will not be achieved.

Therefore, the sarcophagus of the real tomb owner must be heavier than the other seven sarcophagi.Although nothing can be seen in a short time, but the sarcophagus has been placed on the ground for many years, the place where the sarcophagus touches the ground will definitely be different.

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man hurriedly looked carefully at the places where the sarcophagi were in contact with the stone bricks.This look really made him discover that there was a sarcophagus that was different from the others. The stone bricks under the sarcophagus lifted slightly more than the others.Such a subtle difference would not be detectable without the observation ability of ordinary people.

Success or failure depends on this fight.The middle-aged man leaned against the coffin head of the sarcophagus, squatted down into a horse-riding crotch position, put his shoulders on the corner of the coffin lid of the sarcophagus, and slowly stood up.As he got up, the lid of the heavy sarcophagus was slowly lifted.

Just when the middle-aged man was about to stand up completely, he yelled suddenly, stood up quickly with the shout, and after a bang, the lid of the sarcophagus leaned to one side.

Watching his father use this trick of "raising the coffin with his back", the eyes of the second child were a little more proud and admirable.Lifting the coffin from the back is the most difficult skill for them to practice in the business of eating stinky food. If the user is not strong enough, the timing of getting up is not good, or the weight distribution of the coffin lid is not clear To achieve the opening effect.Because this trick is only useful for sarcophagi without wedges, and it is very difficult, so there are very few people who can use this trick to open sarcophagi.

The sarcophagus fell to the ground and did not stir up much dust.As the coffin lid fell to the ground, a yellow and white color shot out from the sarcophagus under the reflection of the fire.

There are no other coffins in the sarcophagus. It seems that this sarcophagus is not used as a coffin.The middle-aged man didn't have time to take a closer look at the funerary objects. His eyes were first attracted by the corpse in the sarcophagus and a blue cloth bag in the corpse's hand.

The corpse does not rot!The middle-aged man was very surprised, and then thought that the tomb was abnormally dry, and it should be a place for raising corpses.This is also reasonable, the corpse raising place is most suitable for the display of the Qishang spirit protection array.Zombies are most likely to appear in the burial place, the owner of the tomb will not become a zombie!
The blue cloth bag was held in the hands of the corpse, so it must be the most precious thing.After thinking about this, it was just a thought, and then the middle-aged man grabbed the blue cloth bag in the corpse's hand, shouted: "Second, take the plate!" and threw the blue cloth bag to the second child who was still alive.

Just when the blue cloth bag was thrown, the middle-aged man heard a stabbing sound and felt a light touch from his hand.Because the blue cloth bag is a bit old, the fabric is already brittle and tired, and the things in the cloth bag are relatively heavy, so as soon as the cloth bag is sold, the things in the cloth bag are ripped out.

Fortunately, the thing in the cloth bag was a relatively heavy wooden box. Although the box came out in tatters, it did not change the direction in which it was thrown, and it still fell into the hands of the second child accurately.But a booklet that came out along with the box fell on the stone brick between the middle-aged man and his son because of its light weight.

The middle-aged man was anxious at first because of the lack of oxygen caused by lighting a few more torches, and later became anxious because he found that the corpse was not rotten.So I made this mistake in a hurry.Just as he ran to the booklet on the ground, and was about to pick it up and climb up the robbery hole, he suddenly found that the booklet moved by itself!

Then the middle-aged man discovered that the booklet did not move by itself, but a large amount of liquid overflowed from the cracks in the stone bricks on the ground.Just when the middle-aged man was wondering what these liquids were, he suddenly heard a long series of sounds of metal rubbing against stones, followed by a series of sounds of "Dangdangdang...".

"Dad! It's mercury!"

The middle-aged man heard the shout and looked up. A series of iron bars surrounded the entire tomb near the stone wall of the tomb. The iron bars turned out to be hidden in the stone cracks at the joint between the curtain wall and the vault. Which of my own touches the mechanism, this mechanism is really powerful, not only has it not failed for so many years, but it is activated very quickly, and there is no sound at all when activated.

One end of the iron bar is stuck in the gap between the stone bricks on the ground, and the other end protrudes from the stone gap of the vault on the top of the tomb.The sound of "Dangdang" just now was the sound of iron bars sliding down from the top of the tomb and inserting into the ground.

At this time, the middle-aged man fell to the ground in admiration for the designer of the tomb. It turns out that the gaps in the ground are used in this way. I don't know how so much mercury was hidden before the mechanism was activated, but there is no smell at all.

At this time, the mercury had covered the middle-aged man's feet, and the middle-aged man was already dizzy and nauseated by the smell of mercury.

The iron bar is not considered thick, if it is normal, it can be sawed in a short time, as long as one is sawed off in front of the robbery hole, the middle-aged man can squeeze into the robbery hole.But at this time, the slightly bent iron bar under the violent shaking of the second child cut off the vitality of the middle-aged man.

"Second brother, run quickly, take the fifth child and run quickly, remember what I said! Don't do anything in the future!"

The second child wanted to let his father think of a way again, but his years of tomb robbery made him understand that if he didn't leave, he wouldn't be able to leave when the mercury reached the height of the robbery cave.And at this time, his head was heavy from the mercury.

The second child once saw his elder brother and third younger brother die in the grave one by one, but he never thought it would be his father's turn now.Without any useless words, the second child took one last look at his father, turned around and went into the robbery hole with the box in hand.
