Chapter 287: The depths of the ancient tomb, the strange ancient mirror
In the deep cave, the height of the waterfall was about thirty meters. Liu Shiba and his party clung to the cold coffin, falling from the height with fear...
"boom!"
The huge black coffin fell from a high place and hit the deep underground river, making a loud noise. There were black cliffs on both sides of the underground river, with no place to stay.
Miraculously, the giant black coffin did not sink, but continued to float forward slowly, carrying Liu Shiba and his entourage, including Lao Hei and Bi Yan, swaying.
"I'm scared to death! Made..."
Allen Hu muttered in shock.
Ning Min'er patted her chest and held Liu Shiba's arm tightly, staring in fear at the unknown darkness ahead.
Liu Shiba patted Ning Miner's back comfortingly and laughed softly:
"Don't be afraid, the most dangerous part should be passed."
Ning Miner responded sweetly:
"Hmm! I didn't expect that Qin Shihuang's tomb is still down here?"
Cao Xiong smiled gloomily when he heard this, turned around and said:
"The Chuansanquan recorded in historical records should refer to this place, passing through three underground flows.
Through three springs, three! I guess it is actually an approximate number. It should refer to the fact that underground water was encountered during construction, so drainage canals were built.
The silver river above us and the underground river flowing now should be one of the drainage channels."
Hearing Cao Xiong talk about the legend, everyone couldn't help but become interested. Anyway, the rafting in the underground river was very slow and we didn't know when it would end. It was better to listen to the gossip.
In the huge black coffin, several mining lamps were lit. Zhu Yingtai and Ailian Hu stood directly in front of the coffin, checking the landing place in front of them. The few people behind them squatted down and took a rest.
Sun Wenming stared, holding a piece of the Great China issued to him by Liu Shiba in his hand. He lit it and took a few puffs before asking:
"I used to be in the countryside and heard a storyteller say that there are many magical legends about the underground palace of the Qin Mausoleum for thousands of years.
It is recorded in the story of Sanfu that Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, entered the Pass and used 300,000 people to rob the Qin Mausoleum, which is the one in Lishan Mountain.
During the excavation, a golden goose suddenly flew out of the tomb passage. This flying goose has been flying southward for hundreds of years.
In the first year of the Three Kingdoms Baoding, someone sent a golden goose to an official named Zhang Shan. He immediately judged from the ancient inscriptions on the golden goose that the object came from the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of the First Qin Dynasty. He did not know whether it was true or false."
Cao Xiong smiled disdainfully and said:
"Do you also believe this? A bird carved in gold can fly by itself? Even with modern technology, it is difficult to make something that can fly independently without a remote control."
Sun Wenming scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a naive smile:
"I'm just asking!"
At this time, Zhu Yingtai, who had been standing in front to explore the way, turned back strangely, looked at Liu Shiba and said:
"My young master, you said that we all came down here, which proves that there is another mystery to the passage into Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum.
So, what are the 10,000-person killing formation above and the palace behind the killing formation used for?"
Liu Shiba sighed after hearing this, looked at Cao Xiong, and said with a wry smile:
"Old Cao, you have a lot of experience, so it's best for you to explain this stuff."
Cao Xiong rolled his eyes when he heard this and said angrily:
"I wonder where your usual books have gone?"
Liu Shiba shook his head and said:
"I was just fooling around when I was studying in Xuchang. I didn't even pass one of the exams. I took the second exam and studied architectural surveying. I don't know anything about history."
Cao Xiong's mouth dropped, and he turned back to glare at Zhu Yingtai and said:
"Who else needs to answer this question? Since the following is the real way to enter the tomb, then the above must be a trap!"
Zheng Weida, who was sitting next to Cao Xiong, took a breath and said:
"Such a grand gesture? There are terracotta warriors and horses mutated by thousands of people, a nine-star continuous plate made of iron, a silver river, and seventy-six giant coffins.
In addition, the palaces behind the killing array are actually just a cover-up?
I guess, in the palace behind the killing array, maybe there are some secret techniques to torment people? If someone gets in, they won’t stop until they torment you to death."
Cao Xiong said disdainfully:
"That's wrong. The killing formation in front is almost insurmountable. I guess there must be powerful mechanisms in the palace behind.
However, most of the treasures should be from the Qin and Han Dynasties. Palaces were built with treasures and silks to attract people's hearts and attract tomb robbers to enter the palace and kill them.
I think this is the purpose of the killing array and the palace above. To put it bluntly, everything above is used to kill people."
Ai Lianhu, who was exploring the way, couldn't help but turn around and said:
"According to what you said, the treasures are all in the palace above, so what else is there below? If so many of us come in, we won't come back empty-handed, right?"
Cao Xiong grinned and said:
"You better ask Shiba this question."
Seeing the ball being kicked to his side, Liu Shiba said helplessly:
"Gui Guo, can you stop thinking about getting rich and stealing treasures all day long? If I think about it, there must be Qin Shihuang's real body and coffin down here, and my parents are probably trapped down there."
Speaking of this, Liu Shiba added another sentence:
"According to the habits of emperors, the most precious things must be placed in the coffin or carried with them!
No matter how many things there are in the palace above, they will definitely not be as good as those below, so don’t worry, there will definitely be benefits when the time comes."
Ailian Hu's face shook a few times, and he said with joy:
"That's right! I've been doing this for decades, isn't it just for a thought? No matter what it is, I must get a few pieces out.
Even if I watch it at home every day, I feel comfortable all over. After decades of hard work, I will soon be happy."
Liu Shiba waved his hands speechlessly and said:
"Okay, okay, I know what you mean. Isn't it just to make a fortune? Just watch the river carefully and explore the path, and don't kill us."
Just as he was talking, Zhu Yingtai, who was standing in front to explore the way, said solemnly:
"The speed of the coffin in the current slowed down, and there seemed to be a platform with a radius of more than 20 meters in front of it.
That’s right, it’s a platform, and there is a section of steps in the river extending from the water to the platform.”
When everyone heard this, they all stood up nervously and turned on the miner's lamp above their heads to shine forward.
Sure enough, a platform appeared vaguely not far away, and there was a step covered with black moss below.
"This is it, get ready to land! You have to be fast, throw Lao Hei and Bi Yan up first to explore the way.
Zhu Yingtai, you are the first to jump up, and Ai Lianhu is the second. After you go up, throw a climbing rope down and hold the coffin."
Liu Shiba waved his hand resolutely.
A few minutes later, everyone climbed onto the steps and platform, leaving only Liu Shiba still on the giant coffin.
Liu Shiba climbed up to the edge of the coffin, fumbled and pressed a few times on the nail on the head, and then jumped up the steps.
The moment Liu Shiba left the coffin, the lids on both sides of the coffin slowly closed strangely and returned to their original state.
Allen Hu, who was standing on the steps, had a flash of light in his eyes and whispered:
"What a powerful machine technique."
Cao Xiong turned around and said with a smile:
"I remember Shiba said that you have the inheritance of the Five Elements and Three Organizations? What, if you are interested in this coffin, why not go down and play more?"
Ailian Hu's face twisted and he grinned:
"Forget it, forget it! We will study this slowly in the future..."
Climbing to the platform above the steps, Liu Shiba took a breath and solemnly said to the eight people around him:
"Now, we are really about to enter the core area of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum, we must be careful.
Not only should you be careful about the mysterious environment around you, but you should also be careful about the black hands around you."
There was silence on the dark platform. Everyone held their breath and felt an indescribable depression.
Liu Shiba looked at the people behind him and saw the equipment that everyone was carrying. Although there were many dangers along the way, luckily the equipment and food were not lost much.
In the dimensional space, Liu Shiba secretly stored some, so there was nothing to worry about in terms of supplies.
However, the Bayi Bar without bullets is useless here and is equivalent to scrap metal. The current weapons are only a military spur and an engineer shovel, plus a powerful hand cannon.
………………
A group of eight people took a short break, then turned on the miner's lamp and carefully crossed the platform. There was a dark passage about thirty meters behind, with a vague stone door at the end.
The passage was made of unknown stones, and the ground looked rough and uneven.
The stones on both sides were engraved with some unknown images, which looked very ferocious at first glance. Everyone walked cautiously in the passage.
"rustle!"
The faint sound of footsteps sent chills down everyone's spines...
On both sides of the passage, every five or six meters apart, there are several copper lamps embedded in the walls.
On the walls on the left and right sides of the passage, you can still see dents, which look strange.
After walking quietly for a while, a group of eight people finally saw the closed gray stone door. There were also some strange patterns on the stone door, but there were no clues for the time being.
Liu Shiba stood solemnly in the middle of the passage, carefully observing the stone gate from a distance of five or six meters.
This stone gate is gray-white in color and looks very heavy. There are several symbols engraved on the front, but I don't know what they mean.
Liu Shiba looked back at Cao Xiong and said:
"Old Cao, do you think there is anything weird about this stone gate?"
Cao Xiong shook his head solemnly, raised his hand and pointed at Elian Hu and said:
"The old man is not proficient in mechanism skills. If you ask me, you might as well ask Sticky!"
After hearing this, Ailian Hu took two steps forward, looked up, down, left and right at the stone gate from a distance, and then said seriously:
"Since entering the underground base and ancient tomb, although there are many obstacles along the way, it is actually smooth.
There is actually a way to survive in front of the 10,000-person killing formation. If I think about it, it shouldn't be a dead end behind this stone gate. There doesn't seem to be any mechanism."
After saying that, Allen Hu took the engineer shovel and prepared to move forward.
Liu Shiba waved his hand and held Allen Hu back and said:
"If you are not strong enough, go to the back. Let Zhu Yingtai check first to see if the passage is safe."
Zhu Yingtai nodded solemnly when he heard this, took out the military thorn and put it on his waist, and carefully stepped onto the last section of the passage.
Everyone turned on the miner's lamp and watched Zhu Yingtai sneaking around without any accidents along the way.
When Zhu Yingtai walked to the stone door, she saw the dents in the walls on both sides. She immediately stopped and took just one look. An expression of disbelief appeared on her face, and her big black teeth popped out in fear.
When Liu Shiba saw something was wrong, he asked nervously:
"What's wrong?"
Zhu Yingtai turned her head, looked at the recesses in the walls on both sides, bulging her eyes and said stupidly:
"What the hell is this..."
Cao Xiong also said nervously:
"Damn you demon, what happened? You should tell me."
Zhu Yingtai stared at the two recesses and said in horror:
"On both sides of the stone door, there are two strange mirrors..."
"Mirror?"
When everyone heard this, they were a little confused!
Only Cao Xiong stood there in a daze for a while, then showed fear on his face and screamed with a hint of disbelief:
"Don't look in the mirror..."
