"As the saying goes, the older you get, the crueler your heart becomes. Now it seems that this old saying has some truth." Wang Kaixuan took a breath and felt goosebumps coming out.
Hu Bayi also said with emotion: "Indeed, this old man has taught me a lesson. He was able to turn around after being trapped and make such a cruel move according to local conditions. It's really not easy!"
Chen Ziyan and Ding Sitian made their words so clear. If they couldn't figure out what was going on, their brains would have been in vain.
Hu Bayi, in particular, relied on these to reconstruct the outline of the movement of Colonel Touch Jin.
After summarizing his thoughts, he said: "I think the senior who built the Fish Bone Temple, after successfully getting rid of the ghost tomb blocking the road here, encountered some difficult situations to deal with. At that time, he did not successfully escape.
That’s why I used the Ghost Tomb to set up this game.”
"Once he does have an accident, if the people who come after him are from the same sect, they will not only be able to enter the tomb smoothly, but they will also get some benefits."
"If the person who comes here is not to touch Captain Jin, then the medicine will be used as a sacrifice in the Ghost Tomb, thus completely transforming this place into a destructive place."
But after he finished speaking, new doubts came to Hu Bayi's mind.
Since this senior had cracked the Ghost Tomb at that time, what stopped him from leaving here?
Judging from the degree of concealment of the agency, the senior at that time no longer had the previous urgency when setting up the arrangement, and he obviously took the initiative to do it.
Hu Bayi couldn't figure out what kind of thing would make the other party resolutely do it even though he knew that something unexpected would happen.
This series of questions kept turning over and over in his mind, making him feel dizzy.
Chen Ziyan had calmed down at this time. After hearing Hu Bayi's inference, he was about to speak when he saw the confusion on his face and asked, "Old Hu, is there any problem?"
His attention just now was attracted by the matter of human sacrifice, and he didn't think too deeply about it, so he didn't quite know what Hu Bayi was thinking.
Upon hearing Chen Ziyan's inquiry, Hu Bayi did not hide his thoughts and directly expressed all his doubts.
When he couldn't find a clue at all, he needed some outside help.
After hearing these questions from Hu Bayi, Chen Ziyan also frowned slightly.
He is now also curious about what caused Jin Abacus to do all this.
Unlike Hu Bayi, who only had the information in front of him, Chen Ziyan had some knowledge of what had happened here, and also knew something about Jin Abacus.
Therefore, it is reasonable to guess that the illusion mechanism with other mysteries that they encountered was not left to some of his later classmates, but was a final gift that he specially left to his own disciples.
Although Ding Sitian seemed to have figured out the secret medicine, Chen Ziyan had always been doubtful about it and felt that it was not as simple as it seemed.
It's just that he knows very little about this aspect, so he can usually follow the instructions without any problem, but if he studies in depth, his eyesight will be completely blurred.
At this moment, Shirley Yang suddenly asked: "I wonder if you have heard the rumors about the crossroads?"
Shirley Yang's focus was different from others. After seeing this intersection composed of burglar holes, she began to think about why the other party made the burglar holes so neatly.
This is very unusual.
It can be seen from the positions of the hole openings on the left and right sides that this position was specially selected and not dug casually.
However, the messiness of the excavation traces cannot be faked, which shows that the other party was in a hurry at that time, so there is some contradiction between the two.
Just now, Shirley Yang suddenly remembered a story that her grandfather once told her a long time ago.
A supernatural legend about a crossroads.
Chen Ziyan immediately understood what Shirley Yang meant and immediately said: "Yin Yang Road?"
Shirley Yang nodded and expressed her thoughts: "I suspect that the senior at that time, after being trapped in the ghost tomb, wanted to create a simple Yin and Yang road while leaving from both sides.
Get out of your own way.”
After finishing speaking, maybe because she felt that she did not express it clearly, she added: "Or to be more precise, after the first hole theft failed, this senior came up with the idea of using the Yin and Yang Road."
When Hu Bayi heard her words, he was inspired: "Is it possible that when he was trying the Yin and Yang Road, this senior discovered something that attracted him, and then changed his mind after the ghost tomb disappeared?
, and didn’t just leave here.”
Chen Ziyan thought for a moment and nodded slightly: "It's really not impossible. It has been rumored since ancient times that intersection areas like crossroads are areas where yin and yang are confused, and this is still a top Feng Shui treasure land that can breed ghost tombs. If this senior is really
It’s not surprising to find something by accident.”
But what he didn't say was that if there really was a bronze door hidden here, it wouldn't be as simple as a Feng Shui treasure.
Take the bronze door in Changbai Mountain as an example. This type of thing is located in an area where nothing will surprise anyone.
Wang Kaixuan was not interested in solving the mystery, so he heard it boringly, so he urged: "What's the use of pondering these things? Now that we know which way leads to the Hades Palace, we might as well go inside and take a look first.
.”
"I don't know what you are thinking about. You are a typical drunkard who doesn't care about drinking. You want to go to the Hades Palace so actively because you are thinking about the treasure inside." Hu Bayi immediately exposed the fat man's intentions.
Click a little ninety-nine.
"I asked you why you can't figure it out. If there really is some unknown danger waiting for us ahead, then no matter how many bright weapons we touch, we won't be able to take it back. If we can't get this treasure out of the tomb, what's the point of this underground treasure?
What is the difference between loess and bluestone?”
Wang Kaixuan retorted unhappily: "I am looking at the problem from a strategic development perspective, okay? Think about it, we have to say whether we will encounter danger or not, but the treasure in the Hades Palace is real, we
Go ahead and put it in your pocket, then no matter whether you want to leave or stay, you can just pick up your feet and leave. Even if you step back ten thousand steps and say that you are really unlucky and encounter any danger, then there are still burial objects."
"Okay, my words have led to such a lot of fallacies." Hu Bayi waved his hand and said directly: "Don't worry about whether you are talking about flowers falling from the sky or golden lotuses emerging from the ground. Anyway, I have to deal with this matter today.
I have to figure it out, otherwise I will always feel uneasy."
Hu Bayi's purpose of trying to figure out the cause of the incident was simple. First, even such a powerful senior might be killed, so he had to deal with it carefully.
Secondly, curiosity is at work. It can be said that no one in this industry is not curious, and he is no exception.
Seeing the two people quarreling again, Chen Ziyan said aloud: "I think so, let's explore the robbery holes on both sides first to see if there are any clues inside, and if we can find anything, if not,
If so, go take a look in the Hades Palace first, maybe you can find some clues there."
Although he still knows a little about what's going on here, he can't let Hu Ba waste all his time here.
But looking at the other party's posture now, he really seemed to be asking for answers. In addition, although Shirley Yang and Ding Sitian didn't speak, they were also curious about the mystery hidden here. It was not appropriate to stop them rashly, so he wanted to
We came up with such a compromise.
As for Chen Ziyan's proposal, neither Hu Bayi nor Wang Kaixuan had any objections, because they also thought it was a good way to resolve differences.
Hu Bayi said: "That's okay, then I'll go in and take a look."
Although everyone here except Wang Kaixuan can enter the robbery holes on both sides, he is the one who advocated the matter, so naturally it is most appropriate for him to do it.
Immediately, Hu Bayi found a rope and tied it around his waist, then entered the robbery hole on the left with a weapon and a flashlight.
Almost ten minutes later, Hu Bayi stared at a sweat coming out of it.
Seeing Hu Bayi's appearance, Wang Kaixuan immediately asked: "Old Hu, are you okay?"
"It's okay." Hu Bayi gasped and waved his hand: "I'm okay, I'm just a little hot."
He then told the others that the place was getting narrower and narrower, and that the last section even had to be crawled, and that there was nothing else inside except the stone wall at the end.
After saying this, Hu Bayi sighed with lingering fear: "It's very narrow and difficult to walk in here, and it also gives people a very depressing feeling. It feels like being buried alive. If it were a person with a fragile psychology,
I’m afraid I’ll have a nervous breakdown.”
Wang Kaixuan glanced at him worriedly: "Are you going in with the other one?"
He felt that the robbery hole on the right should have the same result, and he deliberately advised Hu Bayi to stop it.
Before Hu Bayi could answer, Ding Sitian next to him said, "I'll do this."
But as soon as she finished speaking, Hu Bayi waved his hand and refused: "I'll do it. I've been there once and have experience."
After he finished speaking, without giving Ding Sitian a chance to react, he wiped the sweat off his forehead, got up and got into the theft hole on the right side.
It's still a gradually shrinking space, and it's still the same stone wall blocking the end. Everything seems to be copied.
But a different situation occurred here at the stone wall. It was seen that the robbers did not stop there, but dug upward along the stone wall.
Obviously, he wanted to bypass the stone wall and directly use the most strenuous straight line to create a passage to the ground.
Hu Bayi immediately came to the stone wall, raised his flashlight and looked towards the upward robber cave.
But after just one glance, he withdrew his gaze in disappointment.
Because just a few meters above, there was a stone slab blocking the road. It was as if the area they were in was wrapped in a huge stone box and was completely trapped.
After Hu Bayi left here and told others about his findings, Shirley Yang said: "Now it seems that the robbery holes on both sides are the product of failed attempts as we thought.
That senior probably discovered something through the intersection."
She is now even more curious about whether this artificially created crossroads can really blur the boundaries between yin and yang.
Chen Ziyan glanced at Shirley Yang who was eager to conduct some experiments, and said softly: "Now that we have explored the robbery caves on both sides, should we continue walking?"
Things here have finally been dealt with, and he doesn't want this girl to try any more experiments and waste time.
Moreover, Chen Ziyan did not want to try this so-called crossroads at all.
If he remembered correctly, there were dark soldiers inside the bronze door in Changbai Mountain. If some were accidentally revealed, they might not be able to deal with it.
Although Chen Ziyan knew very well that the so-called Yin soldiers may not be the ones in the legend, but they were definitely not easy creatures to deal with.
After hearing Chen Ziyan's words, Shirley Yang subconsciously glanced at the cave entrance directly in front of her, but she did not speak out the thoughts brewing in her heart.
This intersection leads to four directions in total, and now she already knows the situation in three directions, but she still knows nothing about the last one.
She felt that it might be more appropriate for her to take a trip first, and maybe she could find what she wanted without even testing.
As for acting alone, Shirley Yang had never considered it.
The danger inside the ancient tomb was extremely dangerous. This tomb did not even reach the Palace of the Underworld, but it encountered things like a ghost tomb and an illusion mechanism. It was hard to imagine that there was any unexpected danger hidden there. She ran away alone because her brain was playing tricks.
go out.
Seeing that no one refuted, Chen Ziyan immediately returned the team to its original order. After a short rest, he started heading deeper again.
Tick tick——
After walking for a certain distance in this bandit cave, the faint sound of water flow could be heard.
Wang Kaixuan, the leader, reminded: "Please pay attention to where you step, there is probably a cave in front of us."
Others also heard the sound of water flowing, and they all became more vigilant.
After continuing for dozens of steps, they came out of a breach and arrived at a long and narrow hole.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Standing in front of the exit of the Thief Cave, you can clearly see that there is also a cave entrance directly facing here that echoes from a distance.
Hu Bayi immediately understood what was going on, pointed at the entrance of the cave and said, "It seems we still have some way to go."
It seems that thieves dug here and came across this kind of natural cave in the mountain, so they took advantage of it.
"I heard the sound of water flowing, and it seemed to be coming from the entrance of the cave. It seems that the cave is behind that." Wang Kaixuan said.
Others agreed with his remarks.
Of course, except Chen Ziyan who knows the situation here.
Chen Ziyan knew that the destination was right in front of him, so he said: "Let's go, let's walk the rest of the way, and then have a good rest when we get to the Hades Palace."
This second section of the Robbery Cave is much shorter. After advancing for more than fifty meters, we encountered an upward slope.
Anyone who knows anything knows that this is a sign that they are about to reach the bottom of the tomb.
Sure enough, about ten meters up the slope, they saw a patch of blue bricks.
These green bricks are of Tang Dynasty style and are obviously the bricks used to pave the tomb.
Hu Bayi shined a flashlight on the blue bricks and said, "It seems that we are at the right place. This kind of tomb bricks are only laid under the Hades Hall, and the rest of the ground and walls are made of large stones fixed with iron bars.
"
Wang Kaixuan asked in confusion: "Then why was this place missed?"
Although he is a tomb robber...no, an archaeologist, this kind of 'loophole' makes it a lot more convenient for him, but it cannot stop him from being eager to learn.
Hu Bayi didn't say anything else, but explained patiently: "This kind of place is called a virtual place. It is a must-have arrangement for the tomb. It is located in the most central area of the Hades Palace."
"However, since the Yuan Dynasty, this form of 'empty position' hiding the wind has changed greatly. The reason is that it is easy to be broken through from the outside. However, this tradition has not changed, and it was still retained until the Qing Dynasty.
It’s just that it’s been modified to be extremely small, only a few inches in size, so no one can get in.”
"But even if there are such flaws, generally speaking, the sturdiness and luxurious scale of Tang tombs can be seen throughout history. There are many huge stone gates below the tomb passages, and thick stone walls are built around them.
It cannot be described as impregnable."
"Furthermore, there are more or less mechanisms on the empty seats of Tang tombs. These mechanisms may be quicksand, nests, stone piles, or even falling flaps to completely seal the underworld. It would rather be broken.
Even though I have a vacant position to hide the wind and gather energy, I am not willing to give away the buried artifacts to the tomb robbers."
Wang Kaixuan listened half-understanding, and finally said with emotion, "Then we really have to thank that senior for helping us break this mechanism. It really saved a lot of trouble."
Hearing him say this, Hu Bayi also felt a little happy on his face.
The advantages of the forerunners, despite some setbacks, were still picked up by them.
If it weren't for that senior, the traps here would probably have stopped them for a long time.
If the mechanism were more powerful, he might get injured or something.
