I took Fatty Yu's wolf-eye flashlight, pried open the woman's mouth, put my fingers under her tongue, and tried to pinch out the key. However, as soon as I pulled it, I felt that the key seemed to be pulled by something. If I continued to pull it, it would probably trigger the mechanism in my body.
Cold sweat suddenly broke out on my forehead. Fortunately, the force just now was very small. If I had pulled it another half centimeter, the consequences would have been disastrous. I had to let go immediately and let the key return to its original position.
"What a risk." I patted my chest and gasped: "Damn it, fat man, do you believe it this time? These two corpses can never be Princess Yutu and the young general, otherwise who would do it with their own bodies?" Become a mechanism?"
Thinking of this, I suddenly realized that the owner of the tomb may have had his own intentions in placing these two corpses here. What I thought before was that the owner of the tomb might have expected that his descendants would one day come to the tomb in search of treasures, so he deliberately installed a seven-piece lock and hid the key in the mouth of the female corpse. But the Qiqiao Lingling Lock can only be opened with seven keys. The owner of the tomb only left one key, so there is no way to explain it, unless...
Unless the remaining six are not in the tomb, but have been passed down to his descendants early. If that were the case, everything would be explained.
At this time, a thought naturally came to my mind, "Yan Yunshu has a key in her hand, and she is so proactive in coming to this tomb. Could it be that she is..."
Although this hypothesis has a certain possibility, it is not easy to judge randomly without any evidence. I thought that the first priority is to find a way to get out, otherwise it will be impossible to see the truth come to light.
I vaguely remember that my grandfather told me when I was a child that craftsmen during the Warring States Period already had very superb mechanical craftsmanship. They could skillfully install some sophisticated crossbows into corpses and fire them with gold wires. As soon as the tomb robbers took out the corpse's mouth, With the jade plug and orb in the anus, the mechanism was activated immediately, and the crossbow arrows shot out of the body. Because at that time, the distance between the body and the body was often very close, and it was impossible to dodge. I don’t know how many tomb robbers died under this mechanism.
I pressed the belly of the female corpse, and sure enough I touched a few hard things. I couldn't help but feel a chill. "My dear, who is this tomb owner? Why are all these arrangements just for tomb robbers?" Designed the same.”
Among the five sects of Touching the Gold, Facing the Hill, Looking for the Dragon, Moving the Mountain, and Unloading the Ridge, in terms of dealing with these strange and obscene skills, the most powerful one is Moving the Mountain, followed by Touching the Golden Hill. Although our Xunlong Taibao also has many means to crack these hidden weapons, we focus on starting from the mechanical principles, using the thinking of engineers, advocating "repay the other with the same method", and often have to thoroughly study a hidden weapon. Just take action. The Banshan Taoists, on the other hand, have developed a mature set of "anti-engineer" technology through thousands of years of practice, which is "the soldiers come to cover up the water and the soil." No matter what the agency's message is, they can crack it in the shortest time, with extremely high efficiency.
It's a pity that I don't have a mountain-moving Taoist around me now. The only one I can count on, Captain Mo Jin, is still lying there unconscious. I shook my head, the current situation was either no good or bad.
Relying on the few memories in my mind, I first slowly laid the female body down and gave her a thorough body search. This was mainly to prevent the body from hiding other mechanisms and avoid accidents. After confirming that there were no other potential threats, I pressed my backpack on her chest, picked out a few strands of her hair, twisted them into a thin thread, and gently tied it to the brass key.
Since it is impossible to determine from which direction the hidden weapon hidden in the corpse will be ejected, Baobuqi will be a hidden weapon like the pear blossom needle in the rainstorm, which can kill from all directions, so I will have no way to escape. Therefore, I had to hide as far away as possible, and at the same time press my backpack on it to withstand the most lethal damage.
After everything was ready, I hid under the steps and pulled the thin line hard. Only a "click" was heard, and the crisp sound of the mechanism triggering came. But I waited for several seconds and still didn't see the hidden weapon being fired.
"What's going on? Could it be that the concealed weapon became rusty and malfunctioned?" I asked suspiciously.
After waiting for nearly half a minute, I finally couldn't wait any longer, so I slowly poked my head out and confirmed that the female body was still lying there motionless and that the backpack on her body was intact.
I was puzzled, looked at the thin thread in my hand, and tried to pull it. The "ding" sound and the crisp sound of the key falling told me that all this was true.
I got the key, but the mechanism didn't trigger. Isn't this all too incredible? From the moment I entered this ancient tomb, its exquisite design and sinister mechanisms seemed to tell me that this was a forbidden place for tomb robbers, and it was specially designed to deal with tomb robbers. How could a low-level mistake like machine failure occur at a critical moment?
With such vigilance, I hit my head hard and told myself that I must not take it lightly, as there may be greater dangers ahead.
"Fat man, Fat man..." I called Fatty Yu a few times. Considering that I had little talent and little knowledge, I hoped to get through the difficulties together with the help of Captain Mo Jin.
But who knew that after shouting several times, the fat man was still dumbfounded and had not yet come out of the evil state he had just been in.
"Fuck!" I cursed secretly, but I had no choice but to deal with it on my own.
I tried my best to think about what my grandpa said in my memory. After a long time, I finally remembered something - jade plug. The ancients believed that death is not the end of life, so they took great pains to protect the body. In order to prevent the essence from leaking, the ancients used nine orifices to stop it: "If gold and jade are in the nine orifices, the dead will be immortal."
The ancients believed that jade has the functions of communicating with gods and anti-corrosion. Therefore, emperors and even princes and nobles with supreme power and endless wealth will basically use such a special set of jade burials after their death. This is the so-called jade plug. Since it is a plug, it must be used to plug the parts of the body where Qi can escape. Therefore, people have nine orifices, so jade has nine orifices. It is generally divided into nine parts: eyes, two nostrils, two ear holes, a mouth, anus and implant.
As for why it is necessary to stuff up the nine passages in the body? In addition to people's unrealistic fantasies, it may also be due to the needs of daily operations: According to legend, the ancients would soak the corpse in mercury when they were buried, and mercury has a property of "condensing when it meets jade." Therefore, in order to prevent mercury from entering the body, the nine orifices were sealed with jade plugs.
Judging from the current situation, there is no jade in the mouth of this female corpse, and seven of the nine orifices are empty, which obviously does not conform to ancient funeral customs. I boldly speculate that the current female corpse is like a loose mine. If the thing in the mouth is the safety bolt, as soon as it is pulled out, the mine will be activated. As for what it will look like after the explosion, there is a high probability that it will be a Mercury bomb.
In fact, to be on the safe side, I can just dodge people. As for whether the bomb will explode, I don't care. But the terrible thing is that the gold box is still in the backpack. There may be important secrets hidden in it. Without it, our trip will be in vain.
People are like this, they often have two hearts at work, one is greed, and the other is unwillingness. Unwilling to fail, I decided to give it a try. So, I carefully crawled under the jade bed and kowtowed to the female corpse.
"As the saying goes, men and women are not close to each other. If I offend you today, please don't blame me, beautiful woman!" I bowed to her, breathed a sigh of relief, and made final mental preparations.
To be honest, I felt extremely uneasy doing this. Although in the eyes of tomb robbers, it doesn’t matter whether it is a male corpse or a female corpse, and there is absolutely no taboo when it comes to making money, but I have been a bachelor for more than 20 years, and I have been single for more than 20 years. I haven’t even talked to my girlfriend yet, so I’m still a little bit uneasy about asking me to collect the Eight-Aperture Orb and the Nine-Aperture Jade Gui from this female corpse.
The Eight Apertures Orb is easy to understand, while the Nine Apertures Jade Gui may be unfamiliar to most people. In fact, this is a jade cover, in the shape of a triangle. When the ancients were buried, the jade plugs used by men and women were also different, especially in the use of the jade plug at the last orifice. The men used Cong and the women used Gui. Both of them belong to the "six auspiciousness" of ancient ceremonial jade. one.
My trembling hands untied the woman's body, but because the dress was pressed by her body, it was difficult to untie it. In desperation, I could only use a dagger to cut the fabric. This process seemed very simple, but in fact it was extremely difficult. Each cut was like walking on a tightrope, so that when I cut all my clothes, my whole body was soaked with sweat.
When I saw Na Yugui, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Grandpa bless me and make my bet right!"
At this time, I had no time to think about the difference between men and women, because I had one foot on a landmine and would be shattered to pieces at any time. I tried my best not to shake my hands, but it was obviously impossible because the brain couldn't control the trembling muscles.
I grabbed one hand with the other and slowly and cautiously approached Yugyu. One second, two seconds, three seconds...it took me more than ten seconds to cover a distance of tens of centimeters. When my hand touched the piece of jade, my heart almost reached my throat. I suppressed the violent feeling of vomiting and used all my strength to lift the jade.
I closed my eyes sharply.
At this moment, the world was quiet.
After waiting for five or six seconds, I slowly opened my eyes.
Fortunately, the mechanism was not triggered.
After Yu Gui was taken away, a pool of mercury slowly flowed out of the vagina. I didn't dare to hesitate, picked up my backpack, immediately covered my mouth and nose, and ran away.
At this time, I suddenly discovered that the female corpse suddenly became ferocious. I was horrified. I saw her face shriveled up like a spoiled orange, and she made an indescribable sound in her throat. In a matter of seconds, a living beauty quickly turned into a mummy right in front of me.
