Tomb Raiders Codex

Chapter 576 Eighteen Apertures Combination Technique
The mute didn't wake up, so everyone had to continue to rest. After I was woken up, I didn't feel much sleepy anymore, so I got up and went to the pillar where Feng Guishou stood before to check, to see where the mechanism was.I saw that the surface of the stone pillar was built with small cyan diamond-shaped moiré bricks. The surface was smooth and there was no sign of mechanism.

Feng Guishou reminded me at this time, saying: "Don't touch it." He walked over and said: "This thing is similar to the 'Eighteen Orifices Combination Technique'. If you haven't figured out the rules, don't act rashly." He said As soon as I mentioned the combination of eighteen orifices, I was surprised.

According to legend, there is a kind of organ secret technique spread in the Qin and Han Dynasties, which originated in the Warring States Period. It was mainly used in the treasuries of the vassal states at that time. This kind of secret technique has been used in ancient times.

There is a set of corresponding passwords for the combination technique of eighteen orifices, and there is only one correct password, and the other seventeen orifices are traps of organs, once a mistake is made, the consequences will be disastrous.

The stone pillar in front of us is something from the Han Dynasty. It should not have developed to eighteen orifices, but even so, it is enough to make people suffer.I quickly withdrew my hand and said, "Wu Shui suffered such a serious injury. Could it be that he suffered a loss in the mechanism? How did you open the door of the tomb where Wu Shui was located just now?"

Feng Gui pointed to the stone pillar and said, "Look carefully." I followed the direction of his finger, moved my face closer, and hit the light straight on it. After looking at it, I suddenly found that one of them was a rhombus no bigger than a child's palm. There is a very small mark on the stone brick.

It's a sign of the cross.

I was shocked and said: "You saw this mark, so...?"

From the looks of it, this cross-shaped mark was probably also left by the statement back then, and the dumb probably also saw this mark, so he broke in directly.I couldn't help but think that Chen Ci's serious injuries back then were also caused by the back of the tomb passage?What does the swastika he left behind represent?Safe or Dangerous?Or is it just a simple road sign?

I recalled all the way, it seems that as long as this mark appears, there is almost no good thing.The first time, I saw Chen Ci's body, the second time, we arrived at the burial pit, and the third time, now, the mute was seriously injured.

Perhaps, this is an extremely dangerous sign.

I turned around and asked Feng Guishou how to get the correct password.

Feng Guishou hissed, shook his head, and said: "That's actually a sequence combination, which was done when the mechanism was set up in advance, and we can't handle it ourselves."

I said, how did the seniors who were fighting in the past deal with this situation?
Feng Gui stretched out three fingers and said that there would be three situations in total.

The first type is stunned, ignorant of depth, acting recklessly, often combining wrong passwords, and then dies; , it will give up.

Of course, the official robbers in the Republic of China were not included in this list. They were blatant and outnumbered. Small tombs were dug directly, and large tombs were directly blown up. The sound of explosions rang from day to night, and all institutions disappeared.

We can't do this method, we have no one, and we don't have the ability to dig three feet like a warlord officer.

The third type is truly capable people. This must be the top person in the agency's hands, and they need a lot of patience. They can infer the general direction of each combination based on the structure and furnishings of the tomb, and then deduce it backwards. Finding out the password is definitely not an easy task.

When I heard this, I said, "Don't you claim to be the top organist in the country? Can you do it?"

Feng Guishou coughed dryly, with an unnatural expression, and said: "This is all admiration from my peers. My skills are considered to be above average, and I am not at the top." I asked where the top ones were, and Feng Guishou said, Where else can I be? I have made a lot of money and have emigrated. Is it possible that I still stay here to eat waste oil.

I was so annoyed when I heard it, Feng Guishou told me not to be discouraged, saying that the dumb person is not simple, and the cross code is not necessarily wrong.The ancient tomb is full of dangers. In order to protect the body of the tomb owner, the skilled craftsmen tried their best to fight wits and courage with the tomb robbers. Every step was extremely thrilling.Even if the cross is correct, it can only guarantee the safety of this step. Who can guarantee the safety of the next step?
I heard what he said, and I knew it was reasonable, so I decided to wait until the mute woke up before making any plans.

This waited for several hours. We sometimes took a nap and sometimes woke up, and in the middle we gave the mute some food and drink, hoping that he would recover sooner.Feng Guishou didn't seem to give up, he wanted to try to deduce the password, and went around the entire tomb, but judging by his devastated expression, it probably didn't work.

The tomb is empty, only four stone pillars, a large tripod, a table, and then some plates, pots, urns, where can I see anything.Feng Guishou was a little discouraged, and sat on the ground, looking bored. After a while, I found that his eyes were fixed on the entrance when we came, that is, the stone door that was pushed open.

I could see that Feng Guishou was actually distracted, but his subconscious look at the entrance made me understand that this old boy was probably thinking about Lu Su's whereabouts, and I didn't know what kind of deal these two people had secretly made.I was thinking about it, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

Since the stone gate was opened in opposite directions, after being pushed open, a dead corner was formed behind the stone gate.

Everyone didn't notice it before, but now I looked at it and suddenly noticed that there was an extra bulge in the shadow cast by the stone gate, as if something was placed behind the stone gate.

In order to save power, we only turned on two flashlights, and directed the light of the flashlights to the wall to make it reflect light, thus reducing the brightness of the light and improving the visual range.

So at this moment, the projection at the stone gate is also obscure, and I even think that I am too suspicious.

But my vigilant character made me feel like a cat scratching my head. If I don't look into it, I always feel that something is wrong.Immediately, I picked up the flashlight and walked towards the stone gate, ready to see if there was really anything behind the stone gate.

As the angle of the light changes, the projection of the stone gate also moves, becoming more three-dimensional and clearer. At this time, the black shadow behind the stone gate, which was originally like a bag of dirt, also gradually began to change with the light, and finally gradually elongated , when I stopped less than five meters away from the stone gate, I could see clearly that it was a figure!
"Hiss..." I gasped and shouted, "Who is it! Come out!"

While speaking, I pulled out the dagger at my waist.

The movement of me getting up has already attracted the attention of Zhuan Rui and the others. They are all alert people. When I called out, they immediately raised their weapons and quickly surrounded them.In an instant, everyone could clearly see the black figure in human form behind the stone gate.

Zhuan Rui said in a deep voice, "Lu Su?" He guessed the identity of this person.

But the two of us spoke out one after another, but the person behind the stone gate still didn't move, the shadow remained motionless, as if there was a dead person behind.

When I thought of the word dead, my heart skipped a beat, and I gave them a wink.

A few people understood and didn't speak, Zhong Gong rushed forward and pointed his gun at the thing behind the door.At this moment, Zhong Gong's pupils dilated suddenly, and he yelled, "My mother!"

Shen Hao said: "Is your mother behind the door?"

Zhong Gong stepped back immediately and said, "Yeah, it's a burnt dead man, grandma's." We moved our positions and stood at the place where the corner behind the door was facing, and when we looked inside, I couldn't help but feel my scalp tingling.

Behind the stone gate, there was a scorched black corpse, the nose and lips were burned off, and there were only two black dimples around the eyes, standing straight behind the gate, facing us.

Thinking that everyone was still eating and sleeping in this tomb before, let alone the horror.

Although I was taken aback at first, after the shock, everyone calmed down. We have seen a lot of dead people, not to mention that this is a dead person without long hair, that is to say, there is no corpse change. .At the same time, we felt puzzled: How could there be a corpse behind this stone gate?Whose body is this?When did it appear here?
The corpse was located at the corner of the stone gate, so it was stuck by the tomb wall and the stone gate, maintaining a standing posture.The entire corpse was burned into a humanoid black charcoal, and there was nothing left on the surface to judge its identity.

The corpse didn't smell bad, indicating that the corpse should have been standing here for a long time.

In this way, we overturned the previous speculation that it was Tofu who opened the door of the tomb. This charred corpse should have stood behind the stone door for a long time. Therefore, it is likely that the group of people before the statement left behind In the end, it is likely that he and Mr. Zhao's people are also inseparable.

When I think of Mr. Zhao, I think of Bai Zhanji, and I don't know if he is really going to die this time, whether the black lamp will help him again, or if something weird happens again, no one can say for sure.As for Fatty Li, if Bai Zhanji is really dead, he has no restrictions. He is afraid that he will go crazy at that time, which will become a hidden danger instead.

Just as we were looking at the charred corpse, the corpse's hand suddenly moved.
