Chapter 104 Bronze Coffin
Seeing that Qiao Qiqi was standing in a safe position, Pei Shaoling pressed one of the tiger-shaped patterns.
Click!
The bronze door made a sound.
It seemed like the sound of a door opening.
Qiao Qiqi looked delighted and was about to step forward.
Suddenly, she found that feather arrows were shooting out from the crack of the door!
"careful!"
Qiao Qiqi quickly reminded Pei Shaoling.
Pei Shaoling also noticed something was wrong at this moment!
He jumped a few times and easily avoided the arrows.
After shooting hundreds of feather arrows, the bronze door closed again.
As if nothing had just happened.
If it weren't for the arrows scattered on the ground, Qiao Qiqi would find it hard to believe that the bronze door had just been opened.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Pei Shaoling whispered, "Looks like I pressed the wrong button!"
Qiao Qiqi also walked over carefully at this time, looking at the eight patterns on the bronze door and said, "Husband, is it possible that these patterns are related to the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams?"
Pei Shaoling's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Right! You reminded me! The eight patterns represent the eight gates of the Bagua. They are Qian, Kun, Xun, Dui, Gen, Zhen, Li, and Kan. These represent Rest, Birth, Injury, Stop, Scenery, Death, Shock, and Opening, respectively."
He studied the patterns on the bronze door and said, "We must find the escape door, press it, and then open the bronze door correctly."
Qiao Qiqi was a little confused. "Uh, I don't really understand this!"
"That's ok, I'll do it! Mr. Ruan has done some research on this, and I've also learned a little bit."
Pei Shaoling once again looked at the patterns on the bronze door and began to deduce. "The tiger pattern I just pressed should represent a mountain, which is the Gen position. The sun symbol should be Yang, which is the Qian position. The moon is Yin, which is the Kun position."
Qiao Qiqi, who was standing by, looked at Pei Shaoling in confusion as he was deducing.
After calculating for a long time, Pei Shaoling breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at Qiao Qiqi and said, "My dear, please go back to the safe position you were in before. I'm going to press the button next."
Qiao Qiqi followed her instructions and stood back to where she had just been standing.
Pei Shaoling took a deep breath, jumped lightly, and pressed the pattern he had calculated.
The pattern that represents the gate of life.
After pressing it, he jumped and flipped several times and moved to a safe area on the side.
The bronze door made a creaking sound again.
Qiao Qiqi held her breath and watched its movements quietly.
At this moment, the bronze door slowly opened with a click sound.
Even after it was fully opened, nothing strange flew out.
Pei Shaoling stopped Qiao Qiqi's actions with his eyes and stood in front of the door to check.
After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he waved to Qiao Qiqi, "Madam, come here!"
When the two of them crossed the threshold, nothing happened.
The bronze door was brightly lit, with eternal lamps on the walls.
What’s strange is that the eternal lanterns are shaped like cute babies.
"Strange, why is this eternal lamp made in the shape of a child? Is the tomb owner trying to regain his youth?"
Qiao Qiqi asked doubtfully.
Pei Shaoling glanced at the eternal lamp on the wall without saying anything.
These babies weren't made!
Instead, it was made into an eternal lamp using special techniques by real children, and the oil used in the lamp was actually corpse oil.
He couldn't tell Qiao Qiqi this for fear of scaring her.
Seeing that Pei Shaoling did not answer, Qiao Qiqi turned her attention elsewhere.
There was no coffin in sight at the place where they were now.
Instead, there are four strange stone pillars standing upright.
Each stone pillar is carved with an animal head, namely a dragon, phoenix, tiger and turtle.
Qiao Qiqi looked at the four stone pillars and asked Pei Shaoling curiously, "What are these stone pillars for? Why don't I see any coffins?"
Pei Shaoling shook his head. "I don't know what the stone pillars are used for. But the coffin is right above our heads."
"ah?"
Qiao Qiqi looked up and saw a huge coffin hanging above four stone pillars.
Suddenly!
The heads of the four stone pillars actually began to move!
The eternal lamp on the wall suddenly went out!
The door behind them also closed automatically!
Qiao Qiqi and Pei Shaoling were suddenly plunged into darkness!
what happened?
Qiao Qiqi's little heart started beating uncontrollably!
"Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
Feeling Qiao Qiqi's fear, Pei Shaoling quickly held her hand and spoke softly.
Then he looked at the four stone pillars with the flashlight in his hand.
Qiao Qiqi also raised the flashlight and shone it over there.
"Husband, are they, are they leaking water from their mouths?"
The sound of water dripping on the stone platform could be heard faintly, and Qiao Qiqi's voice was a little trembling.
She felt a little regretful that she shouldn't have come down to take the royal treasures of the previous dynasty.
Will she and Pei Shaoling be unable to get out of here?
There was a slight look of frustration on Qiao Qiqi's face.
"Don't worry, the current isn't very strong. We can just find the mechanism."
Pei Shaoling comforted her softly, but his eyes glanced at the coffin on the stone pillar.
"Do you think the mechanism is on that coffin?"
Seeing Pei Shaoling's gaze, Qiao Qiqi asked in a low voice.
"Well, it's very likely up there. Wait a moment, I'll go up and take a look."
As he spoke, Pei Shaoling leaped towards it.
"Strange, we didn't do anything just now, how come the mechanism was suddenly triggered?"
Qiao Qiqi muttered softly and looked around with a flashlight.
Suddenly, she saw a concave square brick at the door with a groove on it.
The groove looks a bit strange, a bit like a token?
When did this square brick become concave?
Why didn’t she and Pei Shaoling feel it?
Pei Shaoling, who had already flown above the coffin, was looking around the coffin with a flashlight.
No such mechanism was found.
Then he looked at the coffin beneath him.
With a whoosh!
Qiao Qiqi heard the sound of a heavy metal object falling to the ground.
Forehead……
Is her husband going to open someone else's coffin?
The coffin lid is made of bronze.
But Qiao Qiqi didn't say anything, as she had touched the corpse before.
What's wrong with her man lifting the lid of someone else's coffin?
After a while, Pei Shaoling appeared beside Qiao Qiqi.
"How about it?"
Qiao Qiqi looked at Pei Shaoling with empty hands and asked.
"The coffin is empty, there is only a token inside!"
Pei Shaoling flipped his hand and conjured up a token like a magic trick. "I wonder what the tomb owner meant by putting a token in this bronze coffin."
"Hey, why does the shape of this token look so familiar?"
Qiao Qiqi looked at the token in Pei Shaoling's hand, and then couldn't help but take it from him.
Glancing at the concave brick at her feet, she gently placed the token into the groove...
