Archaeological experts are going crazy for the tomb-grabbing talisman sold on live broadcast

"It's a trap! Spread out to both sides!"

Looking at the bronze door rising slowly with a rumbling sound, Chen Yibai subconsciously took a few steps back.

When the people around heard that there was a trap, they were also frightened and quickly retreated and spread out to both sides, fearing that something would suddenly rush out from behind the bronze door, or a trap like a thousand arrows.

After all, this is how it is played in many tomb-robbing movies.

However, when the bronze door slowly rose to the top, there was a dead silence behind it, and there was no dangerous trap as everyone imagined.

"Who of you moved something just now?"

Chen Yibai looked around and asked loudly.

Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and no one responded.

"I was standing at the back just now, and I didn't notice anyone moving around?"

Yan Wanlei also looked around. Just now, almost everyone was straightening their bodies, concentrating, and looking at the painting on the bronze door motionlessly. They really didn't notice anyone moving anything.

That's really strange. No one moved anything, how come the bronze door automatically rose?

Chen Yibai fixed his eyes on Brother Ji again.

The look in Brother Ji's eyes when he looked at Chen Yibai was like a mouse being suppressed by a cat. He shook his head like a rattle in fear, and at the same time raised his tied hands high: "Captain Chen, don't look at me. My blood vessels are almost bursting because of my tied hands. I can't move even if I want to..."

Chen Yibai set his eyes behind the bronze door again and warned seriously: "Everyone be careful, there are mechanisms inside, don't move anything out of curiosity!"

In order to prevent theft, the most common thing in ancient tombs is to arrange various dangerous mechanisms to make tomb robbers defenseless.

Although Chen Yibai has also studied various mechanisms in ancient tombs.

But according to historical records, the earliest appearance of mechanisms was in the Zhou Dynasty, which evolved from the "Lu Ban Book".

It was not until the Qin Dynasty that mechanisms were gradually used in ancient tomb theft prevention.

This tomb of King Kang was built in the Shang Dynasty, hundreds of years earlier than the Qin Dynasty.

This was the first time that Chen Yibai encountered a mechanism in a Shang Dynasty tomb, so he was not sure how powerful the mechanism was.

However, judging from the automatically rising bronze door, it must be very complicated, so he could only remind everyone first.

Since the bronze door opened automatically, it just saved the trouble of finding a way to open it.

After observing quietly for two minutes, the air behind the bronze door was as dead silent as if it had been frozen.

After confirming that there should be no danger inside, Chen Yibai took a flashlight and walked in carefully step by step.

At the same time, everyone held their breath and followed Chen Yibai closely.

Each member of the team had a flashlight, and the bright beam of light dispelled the darkness that had originally enveloped them.

Looking around.

Just as Chen Yibai had guessed and expected before, this is the ‘Central Palace’. The entire circular stone chamber is about the same size as a basketball court. Looking up, the entire space is like an upside-down bowl, trapping everyone inside.

Compared to the corridor outside, the stone walls here are polished very smoothly, and are engraved with scenes of sacrificial practices and divination at the time, and the scale is even larger than what was seen on the bronze door just now.

But apart from these, the entire stone chamber is empty, and there is no coffin that Chen Yibai wants to find, indicating that this is not a real tomb chamber.

Wang Haichuan also looked around curiously, and after not seeing the coffin of the tomb owner that he had been thinking about and expecting, he was a little disappointed and kept muttering: "There is no coffin here, and it seems that this is not the main tomb?"

Chen Yibai nodded: "Although this is the 'Central Palace', we have not really walked out of the 'Eight Diagrams Locking Dragon Formation'!"

While speaking, Chen Yibai went straight to the center of the stone chamber.

In the center of the stone chamber, there is also a huge Yin-Yang plate made of bronze, with an estimated diameter of five or six meters.

This The bronze Yin-Yang plate is very special, with two fishes in the middle and three circles outside engraved with complex ancient Bagua runes, which looks like a sophisticated combination lock.

This is a mechanical lock designed in the shape of Yin-Yang Bagua.

It is also the most critical part of the "Bagua Locking Dragon Formation".

Chen Yibai was still wondering in his heart how this "Bagua Locking Dragon Formation" could be so simple.

It turns out that there is something waiting behind.

"This is a Yin-Yang mechanical lock. Only when we open this lock can we truly walk out of this "Bagua Locking Dragon Formation"!"

Chen Yibai narrowed his eyes and stared at the ancient Bagua runes engraved on the three circles outside the bronze Yin-Yang plate.

The so-called ancient Bagua runes include Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, Dui, as well as some special characters for sacrifice and divination.word.

These ancient Bagua runes are combined with each other to generate different hexagrams.

And the password to open this mechanism lock is a certain hexagram.

As for what hexagram it is, Chen Yibai doesn't know.

It's like knowing how to unlock the lock, but not knowing the password...

"Mr. Chen, can you crack this lock? I have studied ancient characters a little bit. This symbol is 'Kan', and this one is 'Li'..."

Yang Qingyun pointed to the runes on the bronze Yin-Yang plate and said with a firm tone, as if her knowledge could finally come in handy at a critical moment.

But it's not very useful, because Chen Yibai knows these better than her, and it's useless if you don't know the password.

"I... Let's try it first..."

Chen Yibai rolled up his sleeves. In this situation, he could only try his luck blindly.

As he spoke, Chen Yibai squatted down, with a firm expression and a firm look in his eyes, and began to try to turn the outermost circle of the bronze Yin-Yang plate.

Even after nearly four thousand years, the mechanism of the Yin-Yang disk is still very smooth.

Click! Click! Click!

As the outermost circle rotates, the inside makes a clicking sound like a clockwork.

Everyone stared nervously, holding their breath, watching Captain Chen's performance.

Boom!

Suddenly, the next second, there was a loud bang from behind.

Turning back, it was the bronze door that came in, which suddenly fell down when Chen Yibai turned the Yin-Yang disk.

Crash...

Before everyone's inner tension broke out, several holes opened above their heads, and a large amount of silver-white water poured into the stone chamber crazily.

Not water, but mercury!

A large amount of mercury poured into the stone chamber like a waterfall, hitting the ground like broken glass, splashing everywhere.

With this amount, the entire stone chamber can be flooded in less than ten minutes at most.

The key is that mercury is poisonous!

"Mr. Chen, mercury, it's mercury..."

Everyone was panicking now. The bronze door had been blocked. They were going to be trapped to death.

"Xiaohu, grenade, blow up the bronze door!"

Yan Wanlei also shouted excitedly.

"Don't, this place is almost completely hollowed out. Forced blasting will definitely cause it to collapse! You'll die faster!"

Chen Yibai shouted to stop him.

Compared to the panic of everyone, Chen Yibai was very calm.

In fact, he was not calm, but Chen Yibai had long anticipated that as long as the bronze Yin-Yang plate moved, the hexagram would change, and this would inevitably be the consequence.

It was equivalent to that once the Yin-Yang plate moved, there would be no way back.

Either guess the correct hexagram to live, or die!
