"I drew it with my own hands before I ascended. I don't believe that anyone would dare to change the mechanism diagram I drew without authorization."
While he was talking, Qiu Beidou had already descended the stairs leading to the basement, and Zhuge Zhengqi and I followed him cautiously.
The basement seemed to be just a place for storing sundries. Fatty Qiu had already found the mechanism leading to the mausoleum without using Qiu Tianming's soul to guide him.
Qiu Beidou pressed the mechanism on the wall, and then, a wall at the end of the basement "squeaked." It split into two halves, revealing a gap that could accommodate one person's entry and exit.
Qiu Beidou looked back at the stunned soul Qiu Tianming, looked at me and Zhuge Zhengqi indifferently, and said:
"From here on, all the mechanisms inside are designed by me.
You two should follow my footsteps closely. Although the front is mainly about mechanisms, if you accidentally come into contact with me, your skin will peel off even if you die.
There is also wax-sealed acid inside. If you accidentally step on the mechanism, the acid will pour down from the top of your head, and the skin on your body will be eroded clean in an instant."
While talking, Qiu Beidou had already walked in along the gap exposed in the wall.
Zhuge Zhengqi and I stepped on Fatty Qiu's footsteps and followed step by step.
Inside the wall was a dark corridor. Shortly after entering, Qiu Bulao gently snapped his fingers.
Then a small flame burst out from the tip of his finger,
As Qiu Beidou moved his palm, the flames hit the wall next to him.
On the walls on both sides, there are a row of small oil lamps hanging on each side. I don’t know what kind of lamp oil is inside. After hundreds of years, it has not dried up yet.
The flame hit the wick of one of the oil lamps without any bias, and after a few flashes, the small oil lamp was lit.
Seeing the oil lamp lighted up, Fatty Qiu blew into it.
After a while, countless sparks splashed out from the wick of the oil lamp.
Like fireflies, sparks flew into the dozens of oil lamps on both sides of the wall.
Then, the oil lamps on both sides lit up one by one, illuminating the corridor brightly.
Originally, Qiu Beidou still had a somewhat confident smile on his face, but when the Yong Road became brighter and he saw the scene here, Fatty Qiu's face darkened.
I didn't understand what was going on, so I said to Zhuge Zhengqi:
"Brother, who is your Mr. Beidou targeting?
Just now he was smiling and looking like he was giving advice.
How come you lose face when you lose face? What did you just say?
Look how angry Brother Shenxian is."
Chou Dao smiled morally, and then whispered in my ear:
"Donor, just put the blame on me.
Still don’t understand?
There should be wall tiles on the walls on both sides, and there should be floor tiles under the feet.
Judging from Mr. Beidou's immortal status, at least it should be marble.
The better one is probably white jade, but look at it now, it’s stripped naked.”
Only after being prompted by the ugly Taoist priest did I finally understand.
On both sides of the corridor, as well as under the feet, there is nothing but dirt.
There are traces of wall tiles on both sides of the wall. Zhuge Zhengqi must be right.
Qiu Beidou snorted coldly, turned to the soul and said:
"You've been here before. Is this always like this?"
Soul Qiu Tianming smiled bitterly and said:
"When the children of the Qiu family reach adulthood at the age of sixteen, they will all come in and kowtow to your ancestor's immortal body.
But when I came in, this was what it looked like.
I heard the old man at home talking about it, and it was the same as what the little brother said,
There are white marble walls on both sides of the wall, as well as above and below the feet, but no one knows when it was dug up by the clan members and sold for money."
Qiu Beidou took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, turned around and continued walking towards the end of the corridor, comforting himself as he walked, and said:
"They are all his external possessions. As long as the skin is still there and the magic weapon is still there, everything else is external to him."
While he was talking, Qiu Beidou had already quickened his pace and walked towards the end.
But after walking a few steps, he suddenly realized something, stopped again, turned back to the soul Qiu Tianming and said:
"You said that the children of the Qiu family will come in when they reach adulthood, so I designed the mechanism and formation.
Has no one been hurt here?”
Qiu Tianming thought for a moment, then shook his head and said:
“I’ve never heard of anyone falling into the trap here.
When we came in, we all followed the clan leader.
The clan leader told me repeatedly that I must step on his footprints, but I have stepped on them several times, but nothing happened."
After hearing what the soul said, Qiu Beidou walked directly to the corner of the wall, and then kicked out a big hole at the base of the wall.
He bent down and pulled out a row of small wooden shelves from the hole.
There are dozens of small holes on the shelf, which look like they should be used to launch some kind of hidden weapon.
Already feeling that the weight was wrong, Qiu Beidou threw the wooden shelf on the ground, then turned around and strode toward the end.
At this time, Zhuge Zhengqi was beside me and whispered:
"This is called Qianjiji
The crossbow frame is soaked in tung oil, and in order to prevent the crossbow arrows inside from rusting and blocking the arrow holes, the arrowheads are all gold or gold-plated."
At this time, I also understood that Qiu Beidou's unscrupulous descendants actually dug out all the hidden weapons in the mausoleum and sold them for money.
This whole family is really poor and crazy
Continuing to move forward, Qiu Beidou tried two more locations to hide the traps.
As a result, all the concealed weapons inside were taken away, leaving only some worthless wooden empty launchers.
Qiu Beidou was too lazy to check the institution anymore. He walked around the underground tomb with his hands behind his back for nearly a stick of incense, and finally found the main tomb here.
The door to the main tomb has obviously been changed. Judging from the door axis, it should have been a door similar to white marble or marble, but now it has been replaced with two rotten wooden doors.
An angry Qiu Beidou kicked open the two wooden doors, and then walked into the tomb first.
After entering, I saw that the funerary objects that were supposed to be there were no longer visible.
Fortunately, the stone coffin is still there, and from the outside, there is no sign that it has been pried open.
The sarcophagus has not been opened, which means that the magic weapon buried with his skin inside has not been moved.
Qiu Beidou wiped his cold sweat and took a long breath.
Without further ado, Fatty Qiu pushed open the sarcophagus lid of his coffin with his own hands.
As the sarcophagus opened, I took a look.
He saw a corpse exactly like Fatty Qiu lying inside the sarcophagus.
On both sides of the body were placed a sword, a strange-looking chessboard, and several other weapons that I couldn't describe.
At this time, Qiu Beidou took a deep breath and said to himself:
"Fortunately, fortunately, fortunately.
These little monkeys still have some conscience."
At this moment, there were footsteps coming from the entrance behind him.
Then several old men rushed in through the entrance we just entered.
The person headed by him is none other than Qiu Jiefang, the patriarch of the Qiu family.
At this time, he held a flashlight in one hand, shining it on us, and said:
"You are too courageous!
Dare to steal the tomb of a god”
As he spoke, the flashlight light had shifted to Qiu Beidou's face.
After seeing Fatty Qiu's appearance clearly, Qiu Jiefang suddenly thought of his ancestors, and he started to tremble for no reason.
While Qiu Jiefang looked at Qiu Beidou, he walked to the coffin and looked at the immortal body of his ancestor lying inside.
Then his head kept turning back and forth on the faces of the two Qiu Beidou.
Every time Qiu Jiefang sees a different Qiu Beidou, he keeps saying two words:
