The coffin in front of us stood upright in front of us, looking so abrupt and unnatural. www...

I could tell at a glance that the wood of the coffin was just ordinary nanmu, nothing surprising. What was strange was the structure of the coffin itself.

The longevity materials I have seen are all valued for their integrity. That is to say, the entire coffin is best cut from a thick log. If it is made of spliced ​​boards, it is just a low-grade longevity material.

But the coffin in front of you is different. It is low-end, but it is elegant and generous in shape, exquisitely polished, gorgeous in paint, and each part is carefully nested. It is not something that a poor family can make. It is wrong to say that it is high-end.

This coffin looks beautiful and majestic, but it is actually made of various boards spliced ​​together with extremely fine techniques.

Judging from the results, the cost of polishing and splicing alone is much higher than that of a complete nanmu longevity wood. From this point of view, there may be something fishy about this coffin, so you must not be careful.

As the saying goes, he who walks a hundred steps is half ninety, and things are most likely to go wrong before success. At this time, you need to be even more careful.

Everyone present understood this geography, so everyone looked at me, waiting for me to make a decision. No one rashly went up to open the coffin. At this time, I felt hesitant in my heart, and I couldn't make up my mind for a long time.

It's not that this mechanism is too complicated, nor is it too rare. On the contrary, this shape gives me a very familiar feeling, like a mechanism that I have dealt with many times.

I walked to the coffin anxiously, stretched out my hand to touch the left back of the coffin, and my heartbeat suddenly jumped to my throat. Sure enough, there was a mechanism here.

In terms of sophistication and practicality, this mechanism is one of the best. It is not surprising that such a mechanism appears in a tomb. However, the appearance of such a mechanism in a tomb of this era is no small matter.

I stroked the mechanism, but hesitated for a moment. If it was really it, then... it would be a mess.

Probably because I had been silent for a long time, the fat man got impatient. He walked up to me and asked, "Taozi, what's going on? You're a tough guy?"

I'm not afraid of the toughest stones, but this... is so... so unexpected. I smiled bitterly and said, "See for yourself!"

As soon as I finished speaking, I made up my mind and used my left hand that was pressed on the machine bracket to push it downwards with gentle force.

"Kakakaka..." A series of machine triggering sounds sounded, and the entire erected coffin began to rotate from more than 2/3 of the position. The upper part, while rotating, quickly bloomed like a lotus, and through delicate fit

, nested, and finally form a lotus platform-like base.

When the lotus platform was completed, a corpse sat upright from the lotus center, facing forward.

"Ah! Be careful." A female voice exclaimed. Zeng Wenwen, Hellen and Heijingang, who were directly opposite, immediately fell to the ground. Heijingang rolled over on the ground and even took out his gun, looking extremely alert.

appearance.

In the room, the fat man and I were the only two people still standing, looking at each other in shock.

Zeng Wenwen and the others were frightened by the body that suddenly sat up. In fact, it was nothing, it was just a tactic to bluff people. When the lotus seat was formed, the body remaining in the coffin would be lifted up and formed behind it.

Support so that the corpse can sit up like a living person.

If there is anything unusual, it is this corpse. The corpse has short hair and is wearing a double-breasted shirt. Although the ancients said that "the hair and skin of the body must not be mutilated, it is given to parents", no one would have short hair.

But this person is an "earth immortal" after all and is not from that world, so it's not surprising that he doesn't follow the rules.

He looks very young, probably in his 30s, but according to the reliefs, he has lived for 30 to 40 years during the prosperous period of the Tang Dynasty. Is it true that he is immortal? But there is nothing to make a fuss about.

After so many years, we haven't seen any strange corpses, which is not enough to surprise us.

What really surprises and even horrifies us is the mechanism itself. This mechanism has a name, called "Lotus Fall", and its production is extremely craftsmanship. It often appears in tombs of the Song and Ming Dynasties, and it is not too rare. The terrifying thing about this mechanism is

The thing is, if you don't look for the correct mechanism and open the coffin recklessly, you will trigger the mechanism buried underneath. As for what mechanism it is, it depends on the local geographical conditions. In most cases, it is *

*.But one thing is certain, that is - you will die with the enemy.

This is a very domineering and decisive mechanism. The tomb owners who use it all have the idea of ​​​​destroying the corpse themselves rather than letting outsiders humiliate it. It sounds tragic, but it does not affect him in any way to find a burial for himself. For example,

Finally, the mechanism of the corpse sitting up has no ability to hurt people. Its function is to bluff people. It is best for the other party to panic and trigger the mechanism, and everyone goes on the road together.

Such a mechanism is clever and powerful, but after encountering it so many times, we don’t take it seriously. What really makes us horrified is that this mechanism was first created in the late Northern Song Dynasty. It only became popular after the Southern Song Dynasty.

Something happened. How come the tombs from the Tang Dynasty used the mechanisms from the Song Dynasty?

It is nonsense to say that there are errors in historical records and that this institution actually existed in the Tang Dynasty. The development of things always has stages, and the same is true for institutions, which are always developed and improved step by step. What is before us

This "Lotus Fall" is equipped with a "corpse lifting device". This is already a method after the Yuan Dynasty. In addition, the opening mechanism is located on the left rear, and it is even more a method after the Ming Dynasty. Before the Ming Dynasty, the mechanisms of such mechanisms included

, are located at the bottom of the coffin. Although it is not easy to find, it is also extremely difficult to open again. If you are not careful, you may trigger the mechanism. So in the Ming Dynasty, skilled craftsmen improved it and placed it on the left rear.

This became a common practice.

If we say that this mechanism was added by later generations? It still makes no sense. This "Lotus Falling" mechanism involves a large scope and requires a lot of underground engineering and the utilization of geographical advantages. It is one of the few devices that cannot be added later.

Then, there is only one possibility left...

At this time, I suddenly noticed a scroll lying across the corpse's knees. Could this be the general map of tombs in the world?

A very absurd idea was running back and forth in my mind, getting more and more intense. At this time, the three of them were still lying on the ground and could not see the movement on the high platform.

I quickly stretched out my hand, fished it out from the corpse's arms, and the short scroll fell into my hand.

I slowly opened the scroll, and lines of clear and familiar handwriting appeared in front of me. Although I was mentally prepared, I still couldn't resist the surge deep in my heart when I saw such strokes and words.
