Fei Fan's face was a little solemn, his eyes were fixed on the grooves and beads on the wall, he held the fire folding piece in his left hand and raised his right hand in the air, hesitating and not daring to start. Time passed little by little, I could see
There were already some glistening beads of sweat on the back of his neck.
I asked in a low voice: "Senior Fei, are you having some difficulty?"
Fei Fan shook his head slightly and said, "I'm not sure whether the astrology on the wall is exactly the same as the one on the dome."
I thought about it and said to him: "Senior Fei, we have no other choice. We have the reference of the dome."
Fei Fan sighed and slowly moved a bead in the groove. I raised my head and glanced at the dome accidentally. Suddenly, I was a little frightened to see the twelve beads on the astrological chart of the dome.
It actually seemed like it had changed its position, and it was completely different from the horoscope I had just arrived at.
I quickly said to Fei Fan: "Senior Fei! Something is wrong! Look up at the dome. It seems that the twelve beads have moved on their own."
Fei Yifan was startled and quickly raised his head to look at the dome. He couldn't help but stay there and murmured: "How could this happen? Could it be that this is a starry correlation array that is changing at any time? No wonder when I came up just now
Nothing was found, but suddenly a black evil spirit appeared."
I asked anxiously: "What should I do?"
Fei Fan thought for a moment, then raised his head suddenly and said to me: "Yunlong, let me tell you the directions of the twelve stars, and then you give me the directions of each star according to its position, and I will set the position.
.As long as we keep up with the changes in star positions, this star camera correlation array can be cracked."
He pointed to the twelve beads on the dome and began to explain to me the changes in the star positions of the twelve constellations and the names of the various directions. He said: "In order to observe and explain the positions, movements and solar terms of the sun, moon and five stars, the ancients,
The zodiac is divided into twelve parts from west to east, and their names are in order: Xingji, Xuanzhu, Jianglou, Daliang, Shichen, Quail Head, Quail Fire, Quail Tail, Longevity Star, Fire, and Ximu. These ten parts
The two stars will change their positions according to different hours and seasons. This star phase array diagram is based on this principle and adds the mechanism theory. The mechanism design in front of us is to make the star map on the wall match the changes of the star map.
If the star chart on the dome is placed in the same direction so that it is consistent with the star position changes on the dome, then the mechanism will be activated."
After saying that, he started to point out to me the order of changes in star positions and directions. The astrological chart was still on top of my head. It finally took me more than ten minutes to remember and understand.
Fei Fan worried about my memory and pointed at the star positions on the dome and asked me several changes. Seeing that my answers were correct, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to me: "Your task now is to point at the dome and according to the star positions.
Report to me the order of changes in direction and position one by one, and I will operate the star map on the wall. Remember, if there is even a slight difference, our success will be in vain, or even lead to danger."
I nodded and pretended to be relaxed: "No problem, I promise to complete the task." Fei nodded solemnly and then turned to face the star map on the wall, and whispered: "Start!"
My heart tightened, and I quickly stared at the horoscope changes on the dome and began to report the position and direction of each star one by one. Fei Fan quickly moved the beads in the grooves and placed them exactly according to my report.
Location.
Fortunately, the stars on the dome did not move very fast. After more than ten minutes, I continued to report the star positions and directions of the beads on the dome, and Fei Yifan basically stopped moving the beads. But he didn't yell to stop, so I kept telling him.
Shout, keep shouting about the changes in the astrology.
Finally, after another two minutes or so, Fei Fan said: "Okay. My astrological position is consistent with the astrological position of the dome you reported. Let God control the following matters."
As he said that, he turned around and stared at the changes in the astrology on the dome with me. The twelve white beads were still changing slowly. I suddenly felt a little nervous because I saw that the twelve beads seemed to be changing in a straight line.
.
Fei Fan suddenly said loudly: "Twelve consecutive beads! I understand, the twelve consecutive beads are the activation time of the mechanism."
He suddenly turned to look at the star chart on the wall. Sure enough, the twelve beads in the star chart on the wall were also changing in a straight line.
I clenched my hands into fists nervously, feeling that my palms were all sweaty. I stared at the stars on the dome, wondering what would happen when the moment of the twelve consecutive beads that Fei Fan said came.
Finally, under the nervous gaze of Fei and I, the twelve beads in the star map on the dome and wall were all connected in a straight line. A heavy "click" sound sounded above our heads, round and round.
The strange astrological diagram on the dome suddenly opened a gap in the middle, and then slowly separated to both sides. The gap became wider and wider, until the entire astrological diagram pushed into the walls on both sides, and the middle of the dome became an upward direction.
The dark round hole.
The sound of "click" continued, coming from the round hole. Fei Fan said to me in a low voice: "What do you think will appear inside?"
I shook my head at a loss. I don't know why, but I suddenly felt a very strong sense of fear in my heart. It seemed that something terrible was about to appear in the round hole.
Sure enough, a rectangular thing slowly descended from the entrance of the cave. When it appeared above our heads, Fei Yifan and I discovered with a huge change of expression that the thing turned out to be a large cyan coffin.
Four thick black chains on top tightly wrapped it.
Fei Fan and I watched dumbfounded as it continued to slowly pass by our eyes, and then fell to the ground of the hall.
After a while, he woke up and patted me on the shoulder and said, "Let's get down quickly. I think there must be a shocking secret hidden in this coffin."
I looked at him in confusion and asked, "What shocking secret?"
Fei Fan gave me a mysterious smile and said nothing. Instead, he took out his crossbow from his arms and said to me: "Yunlong, go down first and tell them not to touch the coffin until I get down."
I nodded, held the crossbow, and looked down with some fear. He smiled and said to me: "Now the hook of the lifting crossbow is still nailed to the bottom of the beam. You open the red button on it and slowly
Lean down and it will slowly release the line and put you down. Don't worry, I specially found a folk concealed weapon master to make this thing. It is very strong. After you get down, tell them not to touch the coffin yet and wait until I get down.
."
I nodded, looked down with a little dizziness, felt anxious, closed my eyes, pressed the red button, and then slowly put my two feet down. Fortunately, this lifting crossbow was really slow.
I let go of the line, leaned out, and was suspended in the air, slowly falling down.
When my feet stepped on the solid ground of the palace, I opened my eyes, pressed the white button, and the elevating crossbow retracted its thread and went up to the beam where Fei Yifan was.
At this time, the "click" sound of the mechanism had stopped. I turned around and saw Taoist Master Zengfan and the others gathered around the huge cyan coffin that had fallen to the ground, looking at it in confusion.
I quickly walked over and said to them: "Senior Fei said that when he comes down, he wants us not to touch the coffin first."
Everyone nodded quickly. Pang Xiaotai said with a look of horror: "I am most afraid of this thing. In the Golden City, I still remember the horror of the Thousand Coffins Array. Don't open it, another ancient corpse will crawl out of it.
Come on, grandma, I feel scared just thinking about it."
At this time, Fei Fan's voice was heard: "Pang Xiaotai, you are so thick and strong, but I didn't expect you to be so timid."
Everyone looked up and saw that Fei Fan was already close to the ground.
Pang Xiaotai blushed and said, "I'm not a coward. I'm born to be afraid of these gods and ghosts. If you ask me to go into battle to kill the enemy, I, Pang Xiaotai, will never be soft-handed."
Fei Fan fell to the ground and ignored Pang Xiaotai. Instead, he walked to the green coffin and observed it carefully with everyone else.
This coffin is half a person tall. If it is long and wide, it can probably hold three or four big men like Pang Xiaotai or Meng Xingliang. It is made entirely of blue stone and does not have any patterns or patterns except for the gap in the middle.
Taoist Master Zengfan looked at the coffin for a while and said, "How did this coffin appear? Why is it so huge? Who could be inside it?"
Fei Fan tapped the sarcophagus with his fingers, then shook his head and said: "This is not a coffin, but a coffin. A coffin is a coffin, and the coffin is the outer layer of the coffin. It is also called the outer coffin. This ancient people especially
There are strict levels of coffin burials. The coffin is the size of the outer coffin, and the number of outer coffins is different. For example: the emperor is also the emperor, and their coffin must have four layers: the first layer is called coffin, and the other layers are called coffins.
The outer cover is made of silk and buffalo skin; the second layer is called the ground, which is made of basswood; the third layer is called the genus, and the fourth layer is called the big coffin, which is the outermost coffin. Most of the outer coffins of emperors and empresses have two layers.
Most of the coffins are made of catalpa wood, so the coffins are also called "Zi Palace"; the outer coffins of other court officials are divided according to their ranks. In addition, the thickness of this coffin is also strictly regulated from the emperor to his subjects: the emperor's large coffin is eight inches thick,
The big doctor's coffin is six inches thick, while the common man's coffin is only four inches thick without a coffin. We won't go into detail about these things here. Looking at the coffin, the owner of this coffin must be an emperor or quasi-emperor.
figure."
"What is the quasi-emperor level?" I asked out of curiosity.
Fei Fan said: "The quasi-emperor level refers to the crown prince or the royal family members who are extremely favored by the emperor, such as princes, and then there are some princes and ministers specially approved by the emperor."
Taoist Master Zengfan said at this time: "Fei Yifan, do you mean that there must be a big shot in this coffin?"
Fei Fan nodded and said: "That's right. But what I'm curious about is, as one of the nine-day cities, this city of heavy water has a coffin of a big shot in the core palace, and it's made of extremely rare materials.
Is the star camera locked on the dome of the palace?"
Taoist Master Zengfan said: "No matter how many things there are, let's just open the coffin and take a look." Others also agreed that this was the only way to solve the mystery.
I saw that Fei Fan was hesitant, and I thought about something. So, I asked Fei Fan: "Senior Fei Fan, are you sure that this highest-level coffin burial system is only suitable for people who are quasi-emperor level?"
A corpse instead of something else?"
Fei Fan looked at me with a strange expression on his face, then lowered his head and thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "When you ask this, I remember something. Six years ago, several companions and I were in Sichuan Province.
An unknown ancient tomb was discovered in the Longquan Mountains in Jintang County, and an emperor's coffin was found in the underground palace. After opening it, it turned out that it was not an ancient corpse, but a strange huge white bone, not human-shaped, but like...
The bones of some kind of animal. If it can be established that the coffin we have now does not contain human bones, then my doubts may be solved."
I smiled slightly and didn't say anything else. He gave me a strange look, as if he was surprised that I had asked such a question just now. But he didn't say anything more. Instead, he put the backpack on the ground.
Then he opened it and took out a few things.
When we all took a look, these things were a bit strange. A small hammer, an axe, a flat-tipped steel rod, several steel pipes of different thicknesses, and a black one used to deal with little ghosts in the haunted house.
, what the wooden instructor called black donkey hooves suddenly appeared, a pair of furry gloves sewn from unknown material.
Fei Yifan saw that everyone was looking at him in surprise, and he seemed a little embarrassed and said with a "hehe" smile: "These are the tools I used to do underground work. I was afraid that I would use them before I came here, so I brought them all."
Taoist Master Zengfan snorted coldly and walked to the side. Fortunately, he didn't speak to mock Fei Yifan again. However, others were obviously interested in these things and they didn't know how Fei Yifan used them.
Fei Fan first put on the furry gloves, then skillfully joined several steel pipes of different thicknesses, and then put the ax head on and tightened it, turning it into a long axe. Everyone was looking at him.
, Fei Fan said: "This is called a folding axe. It is for easy handling. The gloves I wear are made of deerskin. The deerskin texture is tight to prevent corpse poison on or inside the coffin from invading my hands." Then he pointed.
Other things in the underground said: "This steel bar is called a crowbar. It has of course been improved and is used to pry coffins. You should know that this is a small hammer used to strike the crowbar. The black donkey's hooves are naturally afraid of it."
Used when opening a coffin and encountering a mutated corpse."
Then everyone suddenly realized that it turned out that it took a lot of time to prepare the tools used to open the coffin.
Fei Fan added: "Now we are not sure what is inside this coffin. Everyone, please stay away. I have to be busy. I also ask everyone to be on guard for me, in case a zombie or something jumps out of it.
Everyone should fight it to death."
We all nodded, indicating no problem, and then stepped back a few steps to give Fei Fan room to open the coffin.
Fei Fan took a deep breath, then picked up the crowbar and inserted it into the gap of the blue sarcophagus. Everyone nervously raised their guns and pointed them at the sarcophagus. At this time, each of us was guessing in our hearts: This
