As soon as they heard that Lin Yi was going down into the coffin again, everyone around him stopped him.
"Comrade Xiaolin, listen to me. We have collected enough information now. The only goal now is that everyone can get out of here safely. We can't take this risk anymore."
Lin Yi shook his head firmly.
"If we don't unlock the secret of this coffin, we can't get out of here."
Professor Yu asked in confusion:
"You mean, this coffin is related to Queen Jingjue, the Kingdom of Jingjue, and their ancestor Queen Mother Xi?"
“The Jingjue Kingdom once ruled the thirty-six countries in the Western Region and had the strength to compete with the Central Plains dynasties.
Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty and transferred countless human, material and financial resources from the Central Plains to the Western Regions. How did they decline? Are these so-called coffins of the most exquisite queens in the past dynasties real?
Is the content of the inscription on the 'Heavenly Book' true or a fabrication?
That snake-eye cistanche plant has evolved self-awareness, how much is true and how much is false? "
Lin Yi's series of questions stunned everyone present.
If these mysteries cannot be solved one by one, every step they take may lead to them stepping into a pit or even falling into an abyss of eternal destruction.
"Consultant Lin, please pay attention to your safety. If you need anything, just say hello!"
Lin Yi nodded, held up one hand, and jumped onto the coffin. He held the golden charm in his mouth and looked back at the candlelight in the southeast corner.
Taking a deep breath, he fell into the coffin again, changed his leaning position, and fell into the hidden compartment on the lower level.
The mummy still maintained the same posture as before.
Following the prompts from the friend in the live broadcast room just now, Lin Yi began to fumble around the coffin board.
Sure enough, there was a depression on the side of the head of the coffin board, which seemed to be a specially carved out small space, with a stone the size of a thumbnail inside.
I continued to explore this position with my toes, and found another depression that could accommodate half of the sole of my foot.
Lin Yi tried to step on it, and an upward push came from under his feet. Then the coffin board above his head and the lower end of the two-story coffin room outside appeared at the same time, opening a window that could accommodate an adult to pass through.
The mechanism moved silently, almost ejecting Lin Yi from underneath.
The moment he came out from the bottom of the coffin, the mechanism at the bottom of the coffin was immediately closed tightly again.
"Academician Zhou, what do you think this is?"
Lin Yi's sudden appearance shocked everyone.
"How did you get out? Are you...are you a human or a ghost?"
Xiao Song, who had his back turned to him, turned pale with fright and spoke incoherently.
Lin Yi went up and patted him on the shoulder.
"Of course he's a human. Do you want me to show you my ID card?"
Only then did Xiao Song react and patted his chest.
"Consultant Lin, let's not make jokes like this in the future. It will really scare people to death."
When Academician Zhou and others saw that he came out safely, they immediately greeted him, took the stone from Lin Yi's hand, and studied it carefully.
"Look, the material of this stone is a type of fluorite, which is found in rocks such as granite, pegmatite, and syenite. This kind of fluorite has a strong sense of light. It can make it glow when directly exposed to light or rubbed on its surface. ,look!"
Academician Zhou placed the stone in his palm and rubbed it quickly. The stone began to emit a faint fluorescence.
"There is this sentence in "Three Kingdoms": How can the fluorescent light of the rotten grass compare to the bright moon in the heart of the sky?
The translation is, How dare the light of fireflies compete with the bright moon? This firefly means firefly, and the reason why this stone is called fluorite is because the light it emits is similar to that of fireflies. "
Professor Zhou put the fluorite in Lin Yi's hand.
This fluorescent light does not appear so dazzling in the main hall, but considering that it is located in the dark compartment of the coffin board, this light is enough for people in the dark compartment to clearly see the "Nightmare Curse" symbol on the coffin board.
"The value of this fluorite's existence is to allow people who fall into the dark grid to see clearly the various symbols in front of them, and then enter the 'illusion' and sleep here forever.
But why is there a mechanism on the side that can send people out of the hidden compartment? "
Lin Yi clutched the fluorite and was puzzled.
"Mechanism? Have you discovered a new mechanism?"
"Yes, there is a mechanism in the dark room that can send people out of the dark room without anyone noticing. Look, there is an exit."
Lin Yi walked closer and pointed to the position where he had just come out.
I pressed it hard several times, but it still didn't move.
That position happened to be facing the coffin board that was lying on its back, and Wang Qiang slipped out of it like this.
According to Lin Yi's speculation, he should have seen the mummy and started struggling inside to escape. Just when everyone was about to rescue him, he saw those strange symbols.
The fear and illusion in reality appeared at the same time. When I was struggling, I stepped on the mechanism and was ejected silently until I was discovered later.
"Comrade Xiaolin, when you entered just now, I and a few of them observed the text content on these coffins. Although they were all ghost cave inscriptions, they had no real content. They were all similar to the blessings used during sacrifices. "
"But among these reliefs, there is a scene, that is, the people of the Western Regions knelt in front of these coffins, witnessing with their own eyes the high priest in charge of sacrifices in the Jingjue Kingdom, showing them how these people who entered the coffins eventually became immortals. of."
The speeches of Professor Yu and Mr. Lu caught Lin Yi's attention.
The contents of these reliefs were similar, and he didn't pay attention to such details just now.
When he heard the summary of the two experts, he immediately returned to the coffin and carefully observed the contents of each relief. His doubts were instantly solved.
"I know what's going on! The so-called transformation into an immortal is just a trick of 'transforming into a living being'!"
"Transform into a living person? Are you talking about that magic?"
Bai Lu asked in surprise.
"Yes, I have been wondering just now why the coffin of the majestic and exquisite Queen is designed like this, and why it is covered with a layer of inferior burial clothes to hide it from others.
There are so many mechanisms to be designed next.
In fact, all this is just a magic show performed for the rulers of the Western Regions. "
Everyone was confused and had no idea what Lin Yi meant.
It's obviously a sacrificial event, so why does it involve magic?
"It's a pity that the magic we saw can only 'turn people into nothing', but this magic is about 'turning people into death', and also makes onlookers believe that they have become immortals and gone to heaven. .”
