Chapter 172: The coffin at the top of the tower
Suddenly, the ceiling above my head moved, and with the sound of the machine shaft rotating, a large rectangular box fell from the middle of the square ceiling, just under the screen. Youyouli stepped forward and saw that it was a ceiling, a coffin!
The two of them were shocked and frightened. They were stunned for a long time, feeling a cool breeze rushing upward along their spine and rushing to the top of their heads.
Xu Xingzong grabbed his scalp and said, "Your inference is indeed correct, but who puts the coffin here?"
Youyoule said: "I don't know, but we will know it when we open it in front of us."
Although Xu Xingzong is not very good at opening coffins, he is still very good at using many instruments. The four sides and four corners of the crystal coffin are inlaid with gold frames, with tight stitching, and there are no key holes, only four round holes. Xu Xingzong knows how to open this structure, and he has learned it in Tianshu Pavilion.
To open this coffin, you need to use four iron rods of the same thickness. First, insert two iron rods into two parallel gold frames of the crystal coffin, open them outwards, and then insert the other two into the other two gold frames. These four gold frames are overlapping each other. If you don’t first open the outermost layer, the inside will not be opened.
After searching around, I found that the most suitable one was the fence strip on the stairs. Although it was a little rough, it could be used as a matter of use.
The two of them inserted the iron bar into the hole according to the method Xu Xingzong said and opened the mechanism on the coffin. Sure enough, the lid of the coffin was loosened and the coffin was opened! The two were lifting up...
"Click..."
Suddenly hearing this sound, Youyoule and Xu Xingzong stopped moving quickly. Listening carefully, the sound actually came from the coffin!
The two of them were carrying the coffin lid. At this time, the coffin lid had opened a three-finger-wide slit. You could vaguely see the coffin inside. Xu Xingzong didn't dare to make too much movement, and raised the coffin lid with both hands and leaned down and looked down.
"Click..."
The sound actually came from the body of the crystal coffin, and cracks were cracked in the coffin, as if it had touched some mechanism and caused the coffin to crack.
Xu Xingzong said: "No, don't move when you carry the coffin lid, or if you don't do it, we will both die here!"
Youyoule said: "What's wrong?"
Xu Xingzong said: "This crystal coffin is double-layered with a sandwich in the middle. The sandwich is probably very volatile in the fog acid. Once the coffin breaks, let alone us, even this layer will be corroded by the fog acid!"
Youyouyou was sweating profusely. She didn't feel that the lid was heavy when she was carrying the coffin, but at this time the lid seemed to be heavy a thousand pounds.
"What should I do?" said Youyoule.
"Squat down and see what mechanism is inside the coffin!" Xu Xingzong raised his hands above his head and looked into the coffin through the gap.
There was a corpse in the gloomy green coffin. The corpse was lying flat in the coffin, but his hands were actually lifted up. He seemed to be grabbing the lid of the coffin!
"What's going on?" Youyoule said in surprise.
Xu Xingzong said: "Don't panic, this is not a corpse, it's just that his hand is fixed on the coffin cover. Look, there seems to be something in his hand!"
Youyoule looked at it and said, "Indeed, he has something in his hand."
Xu Xingzong said: "Take it out!"
Youyoule's face was very embarrassed and said, "Me?"
Xu Xingzong said: "You are on his head, aren't you or me? Hurry up, stop talking nonsense, otherwise we will die here if we can't hold on!"
Youyoule pursed her lips and prayed in her heart: I hope he is holding a treasure scroll, I hope he doesn't hold it too tightly...
Youyoule reached into the coffin. At this distance, you still need to look forward, otherwise it would be difficult to reach. At this time, Youyoule could already see the face of the corpse with his light, but he did not dare to look at it. He suppressed his fear and curiosity and whispered to himself, don't look at him, he must have died peacefully, he should be massaged in heaven now, yes, go and don't come back...
Youyoule had already touched the treasure scroll in the corpse's hand, and pulled it, and found that the corpse was still a little tight. At this time, Youyoule's other hand holding the coffin could no longer hold on. It is very likely that if the coffin accidentally lets go, he will stuck his other arm inside.
"Let go, we just want the treasure scroll of the weapon spirit, which will put your old coffin back." Youyoule muttered, the corpse seemed to be heard, and when he loosened his hand, he almost let Youyoule sit down. He moved back a few steps before Youyoule stabilized the lid of the coffin. Looking at his hand, it turned out to be a very precise iron book.
"Please let it go!"
The two of them carefully lowered the coffin lid and pulled out the iron rod, then felt relieved.
Youyoule looked at a book in his hand and said, "This must be Lei Tianxin. This book is a book of treasures, and we found it!"
Xu Xingzong said: "That's right, this person must be Lei Tianxin. Unexpectedly, everyone outside thought he had left Tianshu Pavilion, but he didn't expect that he had arranged his coffin here."
Youyoule said: "It is indeed unimaginable. It seems that this man's wisdom is far greater than his enemy. Look, the treasure scroll is still in his hands."
Xu Xingzong said: "Lei Tianxin is indeed not simple. After his death, he set up a hurdle in his coffin. I guess he didn't want the treasure scroll to fall into the hands of others, nor did he want the treasure scroll to fall into the world. He thought of such a solution. He must have expected that people from Tianshu Pavilion could find this place in the future, and only people from Tianshu Pavilion could crack this mechanism. Moreover, the coffin was designed so that people could only take out the treasure scroll without touching his body. As expected, he had plotted everywhere."
"What is the secret inside this treasure scroll that has attracted many people to compete for?" Youyouyou spread the treasure scroll, but found that there was a piece of paper inside. Youyouyouyou took out the paper, spread it on the ground and compared it with the iron scroll, and said, "What is it written on it? Why can't I understand it?"
Xu Xingjin picked up the iron roll and looked at it. The iron roll consists of movable diamond blocks, and the diamond blocks are connected by soft wires to freely change positions.
Xu Xingxin fiddled with it and found that the rhombus blocks in the iron roll had regular changes. As long as one of the pieces changed position, the other corresponding pieces would also change accordingly. He simply compared them with the paper and found that as long as a few pieces of rhombus blocks were moved, a corresponding passage or picture would appear on the iron roll...
Xu Xingzong said: "This thing is so exquisitely made. It's a pity that I can understand too little of it, and it takes time to comprehend it to understand it."
Youyouli picked up the paper and looked at it: "This paper must have been written on it by Lei Tianxin before he died."
Youyoule opened the two-face folded paper and found a line of small characters written on the corner on the opposite side, and there was a simple image of strokes in the middle.
