Chapter 142 The starting point of breaking the formation

"How about it, Er Yang, you have been busy for the past two days, and you have tossed about all the people. If you don't have a clue, be careful that woman swallows you alive." Yang Lei walked to Chen Ziyang's side, clicked on He lit a cigarette and said to him.

"There is a clue, but there is no practical solution. Hey, it would be great if my master was here. Breaking this formation is a matter of hand for him, but it is difficult for me. "

"Actually, you are already very good. You have almost learned the skills of the old way. And the precious book handed down by your Chen family ancestors, the experience in it is also very important. The old way is not as good as you. You have to have some confidence in yourself."

Yang Lei's words reminded Chen Ziyang, by the way, in the thousands of years of experience in tomb robbery, isn't there anyone who can learn from it to crack the gossip Li Long formation now!So Chen Ziyang racked his brains in his mind, carefully recalling the various records related to cracking the tomb formation in "Civil Engineering Collection".

After a lot of searching, Chen Ziyang finally had a breakthrough. He remembered the Seven Wars Guardian Spirit Formation that appeared in the tomb where his great-grandfather died.

Thinking about it now, "Civil Engineering Collection" is the only formation recorded in this story, which is most similar to the current Bagua Lilong formation.They also chose a special coffin among the eight identical coffins as a breakthrough point, so this story is very instructive, so Chen Ziyang carefully recalled the records of his grandfather.

My grandfather wrote in the book that at that time, my great grandfather cracked the formation alone. Although it touched the mechanism in the end, at least the way my great grandfather cracked it was correct. Otherwise, there would be no yellow The copper compass has become a family heirloom.The cracking method at that time was to find the differences between the eight coffins.

Differences are different, and this difference cannot be an ordinary difference, but must be a very subtle difference found in the same coffin. This difference cannot be artificial, otherwise it will be easily misled.Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang hurriedly called everyone together and told everyone about his idea, but his words made more people scratch their heads and were at a loss.

"What do you mean by unintentional differences? Differences are differences?" Hu Bo obviously didn't understand what Chen Ziyang meant, and he didn't understand the essence of it after listening for a long time.

Chen Ziyang knew that he had to show actual examples so that they could understand what he meant. Only in this way could they help him find the unique one among the eight coffins.So he told about Qishang's spirit protection, but he didn't tell the specific background.

"Let me give you an analogy. Let's say we have eight identical coffins in front of us. One of them is filled with gold and silver treasures, while the other seven are filled with organs for killing people. As long as you open the lid of the coffin, there will be There will be crossbow arrows shot out, if these eight coffins are placed in front of you, how can you pick out the coffin containing the gold and silver treasures."

"The eight coffins are really the same?"

"It looks exactly the same from the outside, there is no slight difference, and you can't open the lid of the coffin, otherwise it will trigger the mechanism, there is only one chance."

Seeing that everyone had no idea, Chen Ziyang gave the answer. In fact, he said that this matter was not to test these people, but to let them understand what kind of nuances can be truly regarded as They should be treated differently, instead of being mistaken for the agency because they saw the loopholes in the intentional arrangements.

"The weight, the coffin containing the gold and silver treasures must be heavier than the other coffins, so these eight coffins are placed on the same ground, there must be slight differences. After reaching the ground, the ground where the real coffin is placed must be slightly different from the ground where the other seven coffins are placed."

Seeing that everyone seemed to understand but half understood, Chen Ziyang knew that although his goal had not been fully achieved, at least these people had understood some of his meaning.So still following the standing method when drawing the picture before, Chen Ziyang asked the eight people to go to the side of the eight coffins, and let them watch carefully. After watching for a while, he asked the eight people to go to the next coffin and take a look. A coffin.

Originally, Chen Ziyang's idea was to sum up the differences after he observed the eight coffins thoroughly, but because the area of ​​the gossip Lilong formation is too large, if he were to look at each coffin one by one, then Not sure when to see it.

So he could only use a compromise method, let the eight people look at a coffin each, and after reading it carefully, let them look at the next one. In this way, after these people changed positions two or three times , you should be able to see the difference in a certain coffin, but the premise is that this person must be very careful, otherwise, it is very likely that you will not find anything after turning around a few times.

After the eight people took their positions, Chen Ziyang discovered a problem. Because these coffins had been placed here for a long time, the coffins were covered with dust and covered with many spider webs. There is no way to find those subtle differences.

The dust is fine, as long as you blow it, but these spider webs are stuck on it, and there is no way to remove it by blowing air. At the same time, everyone dare not touch it with their hands for fear of touching the mechanism inside. Chen Ziyang was in trouble.On the contrary, it was Xiao Na who was reminded by the surrounding flames that she could use the flames on the torches to help these people remove the spider webs.

Because the previous torches had been burned out, Chen Ziyang donated his cotton clothes and asked Xiao Na and the others to make a few more torches.When Chen Ziyang was fighting with a human-faced bat before, he got under the tripod with a mechanism, and was scratched deeply by the hook under the tripod. This stroke had already smashed his entire padded clothes into pieces. in two halves.

Later, after Chen Ziyang struggled with bats with human faces, he fell from a height and passed out. During this time, Yang Lei changed him into a cotton padded coat from one of Xiao Na's dead team members, and then put Chen Ziyang's own cotton coat was put on the outside of this cotton coat.

Although the scratched cotton-padded jacket can no longer keep warm, it is only limited to the scratched part of the back. Although it is a bit bulky to wear like this, it is really warm.

Because in the piranha pond, most of the supplies and equipment carried by the team had been thrown away, and there were no such things as rags that could be used as torches, so Chen Ziyang put his I donated my cotton clothes.

The eight lit torches were handed over to eight people respectively. These people used the torches to carefully remove the cobwebs on the coffins and blow off the dust, and then began to observe carefully.

According to Chen Ziyang's judgment, the organs in these coffins should be triggered by pulling these iron chains, so a slight touch of these coffins should not trigger the organs in the coffins, which reassures everyone a lot. When observing, you can also get closer, and at the same time, you can see more carefully.

The eight people stayed in front of each coffin for about 15 minutes, carefully looked at the coffins from front to back, from left to right, and then moved to the next coffin to take a closer look. In this way, an hour passed. Just as everyone was about to change the coffin for the fifth time, Hu Bo suddenly stopped there and scratched his head.

Afterwards, Hu Bo did not go to the next coffin, but to the last coffin he had seen before. Chen Ziyang saw Hu Bo's unreasonable behavior and knew that he might have discovered something, so he hurriedly followed Hu Bo went to that place.

"How is it? Did you find anything?" Chen Ziyang asked eagerly. You must know that even a small mistake in judgment at this time may lead to the failure of the first step in judging the formation.

"I'm not sure, let me take another look." After Hu Bo finished speaking, he looked carefully at the coffin in front of him, and at the same time he was thinking about it. After watching for a long time, he ran to the next coffin At the coffin, I still lay there looking at it for a while, then slapped my thigh suddenly and said to Chen Ziyang: "It's almost there, it should be this, I will tell you the reason, and you can analyze it for me."

After Hu Bo finished speaking, he pulled Chen Ziyang to the end of the coffin, then pointed to the iron chain protruding into the coffin and said to Chen Ziyang, "Look carefully at the scratches under the iron chain. mark."

Chen Ziyang looked at the place Hu Bo pointed at, and then he understood what Hu Bo meant. The whole coffin was tightly sealed by two iron hoops, one horizontal and one horizontal. Vertical, interlaced on the coffin to form a cross-like pattern.

And just below the vertical iron hoop, on the side of the coffin below the coffin, there is a hole. An iron chain protruding from the fifth coffin is inserted into the coffin through this hole.

Just beside the hole where the iron chain goes in, there is a circle surrounded by copper skin.The function of this bag opening is mainly to protect the wood around the hole, preventing the iron chain from directly rubbing against the wood when it is pulled in and out. After all, no matter how tight the wood is, it is not as strong as the copper skin. Under this kind of vigorous friction, it is also easy to break, thereby revealing the contents of the coffin, or making the mechanism invalid.

And with this piece of copper skin wrapped, the iron chain can only rub against the surface of the copper skin when entering and leaving the coffin. In this way, the copper skin will play a good role in protecting the surrounding wood.The places Hu Bo was referring to were some scratches on the copper skin wrapped in this piece.

"I saw it just now. The previous coffins were also wrapped with such copper sheets, and there were also scratches on the copper sheets, but their scratches were relatively few and shallow, but look at the scratches on this coffin. , the number of chains is very large, and the strokes are relatively deep. It seems that when the iron chains enter and leave the coffin, they are pulled relatively long and at the same time with relatively strong force. A different place to imitate."

Hearing Hu Bo's words, Chen Ziyang's eyes lit up. He felt that Hu Bo had found the right direction in all likelihood, and the difference he was looking for made it very likely that he could directly judge that this coffin should be the real coffin. Crack the entrance of the formation.

Then Chen Ziyang lay down on the edge of this piece of copper skin, looked carefully for a long time, then went to the two coffins on the left and right of this coffin, and looked carefully for a while, and then he understood what Hu Bo meant. Sure enough, as Hu Bo said, this piece of copper skin was more severely worn, and there were more friction marks on it.

So Chen Ziyang nodded to greet everyone to come over, and began to open the coffin in front of him.Because there is no handy tool, when everyone opened the two iron hoops on the coffin, they could only use some less handy tools such as daggers and bayonets, so when the two iron hoops were opened, the surface of the entire coffin was already It was badly damaged.

When opening the coffin, everyone was careful, for fear that if the wrong coffin was chosen, there would be traps inside.But when the coffin was opened, Chen Ziyang let out a sigh of relief, he chose the right one!It seems that Hu Bo is really the lucky one in this operation.Not only did he save everyone twice before, but this time he also noticed such a subtle difference in the coffin. It seems that the theory of good luck is really reflected in Hu Bo.

After the coffin was opened, Chen Ziyang saw that what was placed inside the coffin was neither gold, silver, treasures nor corpses. What was placed inside was a potter's wheel that looked like it used to be used for wells. It is full of iron chains wrapped around it, and there is a long handle on the top of the windlass.

And just inside this coffin, where several coffin boards meet, there are a few plug-like things. Afterwards, Chen Ziyang and others pulled out all these plugs, and the boards of the entire coffin were all separated. Come and fall aside.

Looking at this posture, the remaining thing should be to shake the handle on the potter's wheel, so that the potter's wheel will rotate, driving the iron chains to wind around the potter's wheel, thereby pulling these iron chains and triggering the mechanism in the distance.

Chen Ziyang asked the other nine people to hide in the distance and lie on the ground except him. Doing so would prevent the mechanism in the formation from being triggered by choosing the wrong coffin.Chen Ziyang grabbed the handle on the pulley and shook it vigorously.But no matter how hard he tried, the handle didn't move at all.
It seems that because of the old age, the dust blocked the chain and the like, or because the iron chain was too long, Chen Ziyang was not strong enough to pull these chains. organ.

So Yang Lei and Shan Shishuai took the initiative to come over. The two stood on the side of the potter's wheel, one on the left and the other on the right. Chen Ziyang stood in front of the potter's wheel. The three of them shouted slogans together and turned vigorously. Touching the handle on the pulley, there was only a rattling sound, and the iron chain started to move slowly.
