As the sky gradually darkened, the three of them came out of the cave.
After learning that he had to dive into the bottom of the lake to find the underground river leading to the mausoleum, Mr. Qing Wei patted his forehead - he should have thought of this!
However, he soon felt relieved. He was not very interested in architecture, institutions and the like. What he learned was all forced by his family elders when he was young. Otherwise, he would not have gone there.
Yunzhongdian learned how to make medicine.
"We have to hurry up. It's going to be dark soon. I'm afraid we won't be able to find our way when we go into the water." Mr. Qing Wei also understood that there was no cover on the other side of the lake and it would be easy to be discovered during the day.
However, they are not familiar with this place, so going into the water at night is actually not the best choice.
"Follow the bright light and don't fall behind," Si Haochen said.
"Okay." Jun Che nodded.
"Oh." Although Mr. Qing Wei doesn't know what "bright light" is, he should respond first and then talk about it.
After Mr. Qing Wei took a deep breath and entered the water, he was surprised to find that his head was covered by a big golden bubble and he could breathe freely in the water.
In front of him, there was indeed a bright light. It looked like a translucent butterfly, with golden-red patterns all over its wings. It was like a lighthouse in the dark water, guiding them in the direction.
As Mr. Qing Wei swam forward after the "light", he thought: Is this the same thing that just couldn't see anything but was gnawing at apples? Don't butterflies have no teeth? Butterflies can't swim, right? This isn't it.
Butterfly, right? (Linglong fluttered her wings: Children, do you have many question marks?)
After swimming for about a quarter of an hour, they finally came ashore from an underground river. In the dark cave, only the exquisite sparkling lights could illuminate a one-meter square of light.
Si Haochen used his inner strength to dry his clothes, looked at the somewhat complicated passages around him, and said to Jun Che, "Calculate a direction."
"Okay." Jun Che also dried his clothes, took out the divination stone and started divination, and then pointed in the direction: "Go this way." #@$&
Linglong illuminated the front, and the three of them followed the bright light and walked forward. Jun Che did two more fortune tellings at a place with many forked roads, and finally arrived at a place that looked like an entrance.
Mr. Qing Wei finally had a place to use. After all, he was a lacquer sculptor, so he had some understanding of his ancestors' habits of designing mechanisms. He held up the luminous pearl and searched in front of the stone wall for a while.
"The keyhole is here." Mr. Qing Wei pointed to a hole that looked like a natural depression in a stone.
Si Haochen observed carefully and found that the shape of the deep hole was indeed very consistent with the Ruyi head. Then he took out the black jade Ruyi and inserted it into the hole, and patted it hard to make the Ruyi head stick deep into the hole.
After a while, the heavy stone wall gradually expanded and contracted upwards, revealing a passage.%&(&
Si Haochen first used his inner strength to hit a few stones to test, but did not touch any mechanism.
Jun Che walked into the passage first, followed closely by Mr. Qing Wei. Si Haochen pulled out Moyu Ruyi, and the stone door began to close as expected, and he quickly stepped in.
This passage is very long, but there are no forks, so there is no need to worry about forking.
Si Haochen could feel that they were walking into the mausoleum, but they had been walking in the passage and were not connected to the mausoleum. After walking for about two quarters of an hour, the corridor seemed to have reached the end.
Jun Che knocked the stone wall with the hilt of his sword, and there was a crisp sound. The back should be empty.
Mr. Qing Wei continued to look for the mechanism to open this important door. After finding the mechanism, he said in a deep voice: "Be careful, I'm going to open it."
"Yeah." Si Haochen and Jun Che agreed.
Mr. Qing Wei pressed the switch, and the stone wall opened much faster than expected, followed by the sound of "whoosh", "whoosh" and "whoosh".
'Dang' Lao Tie took the lead and took advantage of his head iron to knock away the feather arrows with his head. 'Dang Dang' Si Haochen used broken silver to knock down the other two feather arrows. Due to Linglong's illumination, he dealt with
There is no difficulty in flying the arrow.
"You guys stand back, I'll go in front." Si Haochen had the highest strength among the three.
"No need." Jun Che held the white jade sword in his hand and was still walking at the front. No matter whether it was public or private, Si Haochen could have nothing to do.
Si Haochen did not compete with Jun Che, but was only a little behind Jun Che. He held a long soft sword in his hand, ready to take action at any time.
This secret passage was obviously designed by the lacquer carving family for the escape of the clan members. Apart from the initial arrow attack, there were no dangerous mechanisms after that, and it led directly to the center of the mausoleum.
The emperor's mausoleum can be opened before the dragon-breaking stone is put down, because after the queen dies, the mausoleum needs to be opened and buried together.
Si Haochen found a small mechanism on the stone wall. After pressing it, kerosene flowed in the cracks of the stone. When he lit it with a fire stick, he could see a line of fire burning rapidly along the pattern of the stone wall like dominoes.
The huge tomb chamber was quickly illuminated.
In the middle of the tomb is a huge coffin, with a pair of smaller coffins on the left and right sides. It seems that Emperor Mu Zong had two queens in his life.
Si Haochen took out the incense and candles and worshiped, and Jun Che followed suit. Mr. Qing Wei did not think about where these incense and candles came from, and just saluted directly - in any case, he had disturbed the previous emperor.
If I don’t pay my respects to the mausoleum, I always feel that it’s not good.
After the worship, Si Haochen pushed open the lid of the outer coffin.
‘Whoosh’, ‘whoosh’, ‘whoosh’, this time the arrows were shot from all around to the middle. Si Haochen and Jun Che waved away the arrows with their swords.
Linglong's figure instantly increased, and she spread her wings to cover the three of them under the butterfly wings. Those feather arrows hit the butterfly wings like ping ping ping ping pong, and some of them even shot out sparks. But the translucent butterfly wings
But it is very hard and leaves no trace at all.
Mr. Qing Wei only felt that everything he encountered today was very magical. He wanted to reach out and touch the dreamlike butterfly wings, but Si Haochen opened his hand with the hilt of his sword: "Linglong is a Gu spirit."
When Mr. Qing Wei heard the word "gu", he knew that this beautiful big butterfly was probably more ferocious than the green snake - it was extremely poisonous.
It wasn't until the rain of arrows stopped that Linglong shrank to the size of a palm and landed on Ba Ba's shoulder. The small tentacles trembled and trembled, as if asking for praise.
After the experience of fighting side by side, Si Haochen became very close to Linglong and clicked on its tentacles: "Be good."
Linglong flew around Ba Ba, and then flew towards the coffin. With its small legs, it held out a golden nanmu box that was several times larger than its body at the moment: Ba Ba, here it is!
Mr. Qing Wei simply couldn't believe what he saw. Are all Gu spirits so smart?
Si Haochen opened the box and picked up the square jade-colored national seal with a dragon head carved inside. He examined it carefully and confirmed that it was the 'Jade Seal of the State', and put it into the Qiankun Box.
He stepped forward and closed the lid of the outer coffin: "Let's go."
