Chapter 32 Flip the brand

This figure is red all over, much taller than an ordinary person, and has a relatively blurry outline. The only thing that is more refined is the things in its tray. The brand inside is a little darker. If you look closely, it is made of silver.

After saying Tofu, Zhuanrui said lukewarmly: "It's indeed a flip of the brand, but if you turn it wrong, it will be doomed."

What's the meaning?

I couldn't help but look at Zhuanrui, but he didn't say much, but pointed to the back of the figure and signaled everyone to look back. We looked around the figure and looked back, and suddenly we found that the tunnel behind the figure was hollowed out, forming a cave that could not be seen at first sight. The stone walls around it were red under the light. The four walls behind the figure were suddenly wrapped in a layer of oil wax, and inside the oil wax was red turtle oil!

Tofu gasped and said, "There are tiny oil everywhere, hiss... If you don't pay attention, you will be burned to death."

I said, "From now on, do not fire open fire, do not make loud noises, and do not touch the surrounding walls."

Tofu blinked and stretched his neck to look down. He saw that under the hollowed-out hole behind the figure, the lights were also tinder oil. In the entire tinder oil pool, some square stone pillars like plum blossom piles were highlighted. The distance between the stone pillars was about two meters. It seems that if we want to cross this tinder oil belt, we can only pass through these stone pillars.

But what is tricky is that these stone pillars are a bit thick and can accommodate people sitting on them, while some are thin and can only put half of their feet down. It is already a certain risk to span a distance of about two meters between the stone pillars. Now some of the stone pillars that are still thin and can't even stand on one foot. What should I do?

According to the current situation, we can't get through at all. Even if we have things like Yin-Tuning Claws in our hands, the walls are surrounded by tinder oil, and Yin-Tuning Claws have no place to land. If we want to continue moving forward, the only way is to walk through these stone pillars like plum blossom stakes. However, it is obvious that these stone pillars are not for people to walk, and even monkeys may not succeed.

Wen Min looked around and picked up a piece of gravel from the corner of the wall and smashed it at one of the very thin stone pillars in the turbid oil pit ahead. With a bang, the stone pillars remained motionless and looked very solid, while the stone as big as a fist bounced away and was trapped in the turbid oil.

After doing this action, Wen Min said: "It seems that these stone pillars are safe and there is no mechanism. This turbulent oil pit is to stop the tomb robbers from advancing. Otherwise, they must risk their lives."

Tofu said strangely: "Since they are stopping the tomb robbers, why do they still erect these stone pillars? They even withdrew the stone pillars. Wouldn't it be better if they don't give people any hope?"

When Bai Zhanji heard this, he opened his eyes weakly and sneered: "Idiot, if you build the tomb passage mechanism, the workers will also go in and out. Of course, they will not completely cut off the retreat path unless there is another secret passage in the underground palace." Zhuanrui nodded slightly when he heard this, expressing his approval of Bai Zhanji's words, saying: "It seems that the structure of the tomb of the Giant Ear King is very rigorous and there is no secret passage, so this turbulent oil pit will have a glimmer of life." When he said this, he seemed to remember something, and then said: "However, this stone pillar is indeed a bit strange. The craftsmen in the past would not have such good skills... There must be other mechanisms that can control these stone pillars."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes gathered on the human figurines. In this place, there is nothing else besides this strange human figurine?

Tofu circled around the figure, saw the feet from the beginning, saw from the left and right, and finally came to the conclusion, saying: "This is a bad product, with too many burrs, but this layer of pigment is quite strange. It has been more than a thousand years, so I don't speculate, what is so bright and beautiful?"

Zhuanrui distinguished for a moment and said, "It's cinnabar."

Cinnabar?

Why do you need to apply cinnabar on this person's figurine? Everyone was surprised, so Tofu boldly reached out to touch it. This time I didn't let him succeed. I patted his paws and told him to be honest and not to touch his feet. This time, the slap of Tofu followed him back, but just so happened that the one named Shen Hao stood behind Tofu, with a small scoop between his waist, and the shovel handle was facing forward. When Tofu retreated, his butt was pushed to the shovel. Because he was bitten by a strange fish before, he immediately whined in pain. He jumped forward and directly hit the man's servant.

I was so shocked that I almost popped my eyes out. Wen Min was quick in her eyes and quickly, feeling that she pulled the tofu to her side, but it was too late. The figure who was hit by the tofu was very strong, as if it was being pinned in place, without moving at all. The only change was that the layer of red cinnabar on its body began to peel off slowly, and it formed bubbles like inferior paint, and then cracked and fell to the ground.

I wanted to scold Tofu, but the following scene shocked me so much that I couldn't speak.

After the cinnabar peeled off, faded human figurines were revealed. Only then did everyone realize that the human figurines were not made of mud, but were made of glass. The surface was a thin layer, but there were countless mechanical skeletons inside!

Zhuanrui was surprised and said, "The mechanism is indeed here!"

Through the transparent body of the human figurine, you can see the very tight mechanism inside. The most eye-catching thing is eight iron wire-like things, one end connected to the silver medals in the human figurine tray, the other end entered the complex body structure of the human figurine, and finally penetrated into the ground. Obviously, these eight silver medals are the key to controlling the entire mechanism.

At this moment, if Feng Guishou was here, things would be much easier.

I saw that these eight lines were tightly tight. I guess if the silver medal was moved slightly, the lines inside would be pulled. In this process, no one could predict what the results would be produced by the sashes buried underground.

Everyone was shocked by this transparent figure for a moment. People who fought back knew that destroying mechanisms was also a skill, so they naturally had seen some internal mechanisms, but this was the first time they saw such a thing. Then they heard Zhong Gong startled and said: "It turns out that this figure is a mechanism? What material is it made of? Why do I look like inferior glass?" He said this, and he reached out and touched it gently, but the figure did not respond.

Zhuanrui shook his head slightly and said, "It's not glass, it should be white rammed earth." The so-called white rammed earth is not real soil, but the teeth of a relatively rare animal called "Shanzi". It is ground into powder and mixed in ordinary white mud paste. As time goes by, it will become crystal clear. In ancient times, some people hunted this animal to make some precious beads, which are extremely rare in modern times.

Tofu covered her butt and said, "I guessed right, I just wanted to make us flip the brand."

At this time, Zhong Gong suddenly said, "Brother Dou, you can do it, why do you find everything first?" When he said this, he had a joking look on his face, obviously just an unintentional question. But I suddenly felt a little puzzled and felt something was wrong.

Once it is a coincidence, but it cannot be coincidence every time, right?

Tofu's face was not changed and he said, "That's because I'm smart. After all, I'm an artist! What else can you do except dig tombs and move? It's so scary." Zhuanrui said lukewarmly: "Artist, shut up."

When Tofu saw Zhuanrui getting angry, he shrank his neck and admitted his conscience. I thought about Zhong Gong's words just now, but due to the large number of people, it was difficult to ask Tofu more questions. I just felt full of doubts: Tofu first discovered the mechanism in advance and saw through the tricks of this figure. Is this a coincidence or something he knew?

It's impossible... It's his first time to visit the Giant Ear King's Tomb, how could he know this?

Suddenly, I thought of the corpse fairy, what Tofu kept mentioning, and thought to myself: Could it be the reason for the corpse fairy?

After thinking about it, I felt that the corpse immortal was completely sensible, so how could he tell Tofu what?

In a while, Zhuanrui and several other professionals had already begun to study the mechanism inside the figurine. It seemed that they wanted to study the mechanism thoroughly. I knew that it was useless to think about these things at this moment, so I secretly took more attention to Tofu. Then, I followed Zhuanrui and others to study the mechanism inside the figurine.

However, since the white rammed earth on the surface of the human figurine is not clear, we cannot see the internal structure carefully. Shen Hao said: "Why do you want to open the surface layer?"

Zhong Gong scolded him: "Don't they pull their cocks, don't you see the thread inside tight? You have to finish playing as soon as you move."

We observed this figure for more than half an hour, but still found nothing. At this moment, my heart moved. Thinking of the previous performance of Tofu, I thought about the experiment and said to him: "Don't you want to flip the brand? Why don't you give me some advice on how to flip it?"

Tofu looked at me with a strange look, pointed to his nose and said, "You asked me to come? When did you trust me so much? Didn't you tell me not to cause trouble? I don't dare to guess this matter of life, so I'd better study it carefully." As he said, he shrugged and lay on the ground and said, "I'll sleep for a while, you can continue." I really wanted to kick him on the butt with gauze. Look at his appearance, I guess I thought too much before.

In desperation, we could only continue to waste, which took two or three hours, and everyone was a little anxious. As the saying goes, "Apart from each other is like a mountain". If you don't understand the mechanism, it's like a primary school student who can't understand it for a lifetime. In the end, you can only grit your teeth and decide to try it one by one. Once something unexpected happens, you will withdraw.

Making up our minds, we gathered in front of the pallet and stared at the silver medal on it.

Wen Min said: "Which one?"

I said, "It's easy." Then, I took a deep breath, reached out and pinched the silver medal that attracted me at first glance.
