Chapter 289: Four-legged bronze tripod, ghost fire
Liu Shiba and his party of eight stood inside the stone gate, looking at the boundless darkness that seemed to be able to swallow everything, and couldn't help but feel hairy...
Sun Wenming looked panicked and said:
"If it was the Evil Mirror Stage just now, does it mean that the front leads to the boundless eighteen levels of hell?"
When Liu Shiba heard this, his face gradually darkened, and he secretly thought:
The first person who looks at the ancient mirror at the Shimen will automatically rise up. There must be an unknown connection between the Shimen and the ancient mirror.
According to Lao Cao and Sun Wenming, everyone reflects their sins in front of the mirror. In front of it, there must be eighteen levels of hell for punishment...
Zheng Weida smiled and said:
"If there really is an underworld, then Qin Shihuang brutally killed 800,000 laborers and asked them to take a photo in front of the Mirror of Evil after death to reveal all their sins and settle their accounts.
This guy really deserves to be thrown into hell and suffer all kinds of punishments, go up mountains of swords and seas of fire, and never be reincarnated!"
Sun Wenming snorted coldly and said:
"Humph, wasn't this always the case in ancient times? How could the common people have the right to resist?"
Allen Hu looked at Liu Shiba and said nervously:
"The front is too weird. Even the miner's lamp can't shine very far, so we have to move forward rashly? Isn't it too risky?"
Liu Shiba frowned, this place is getting weirder and weirder, emergencies can happen at any time, it would be bad if there are more casualties!
Looking back at Cao Xiong, Liu Shiba said strangely:
"Lao Cao, what do you think??"
Cao Xiong looked at Liu Shiba's face carefully and said with some excitement:
"There is no sign of serious trouble in your appearance. The old man feels that Qin Shihuang's tomb is not far away. Only by overcoming this disaster can we find the real Qin Shihuang's tomb."
Then, Cao Xiong added:
"There can be no hell in the world, but there must be an ambush ahead."
Ai Lianhu's eyebrows flashed when he heard this, and he said solemnly:
"You guys wait here while I go explore the road first?"
Ning Min'er interrupted:
"I sensed it and found that there is not much danger at the moment. This ancient tomb does not want our lives.
Otherwise, if there was a fatal mechanism in the ancient mirror just now, we would all be dead.
It seems that Qin Shihuang or Xu Fu, who built this tomb, wanted us to move on and torture us with more cruel mechanisms."
Hearing this, Liu Shiba glanced at Ning Min'er, chuckled and said:
"Although Qin Shihuang is the most unified emperor of China, he is still too cruel. If there is an elixir of immortality, or the dead can be resurrected.
We must crack the internal mechanism, find the coffin where Qin Shihuang is hiding, and extinguish his dream of resurrection."
Then, Liu Shiba laughed loudly and added:
"I agree with Lao Cao, now that we are all here, we can't help ourselves.
If we wait here, something else may happen. As a great Feng Shui master, Xu Fu may have designed a mechanism to prevent outsiders from escaping. At this time, we should move forward to unlock the secret of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum."
After Liu Shiba finished speaking, he turned to look at Zheng Weida and Elian Hu!
Ai Lianhu gestured with the engineer shovel eagerly, while Zheng Weida had a firm gaze and fiddled with the military spur!
Lu Xiaolin smiled silently, and Liu Shiba said strangely:
"Xiao Lin, what's your opinion?"
Lu Xiaolin smiled sinisterly, and a huge golden Gu worm flashed between his lips and teeth and said:
"I will follow you, and I will go wherever you go! Look what the legendary Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang looks like."
Several people around clearly saw the strange golden Gu worm, and couldn't help but feel secretly frightened.
This Xiao Lin is really an anomaly, his own strength is extremely weak, but he still controls the life and death of a group of people.
To be honest, most of Liu Shiba's prestige is based on this weird descendant of the Gu sect.
At this time, Lu Xiaolin hesitated, then slowly stepped forward, put his mouth to Liu Shiba's ear, and whispered a few words with a strange look on his face...
Because the voice was too low, only Liu Shiba was the one who heard this!
But no surprise, Liu Shiba was in a good mood at this time, with a trace of inexplicable joy on his face!
The destination is ahead!
You can't be so close and still fall short!
Liu Shiba smiled lightly and said:
"Keep moving forward, Lao Hei and Bi Yan clear the way, and then release a detector!"
Zheng Weida nodded silently when he heard this, quickly took out a detector from his backpack, debugged it, and then put it into the deep cave...
A few minutes later, the safety signal came. Everyone took a few deep breaths and followed Allen Hu into the entrance of the cave.
Ai Lianhu was the heir to the organization, and he took the lead, and Liu Shiba was second. Zhu Yingtai wanted to protect Liu Shiba, so she followed him.
Further back, there are Ning Miner and Lu Xiaolin, Sun Wenming protects Lu Xiaolin, and Zheng Weida walks at the end with a hand cannon...
"Swiss, swiss, swish!"
The tiny footsteps sounded inexplicably weird in the boundless darkness!
Liu Shiba used a miner's lamp to look around and found that it was pitch black inside the stone gate, and the miner's lamp could barely illuminate the edges!
After walking a few steps further, the miner's lamp barely illuminated the scene inside the cave. It was a huge grotto with an area of at least several thousand square meters, and the dome was at least forty or fifty meters above the ground.
The four walls of the grotto are carved with some strange and unrecognizable symbols.
"stop!"
Ailian Hu's expression was extremely solemn. He squatted cautiously and took a few steps forward before letting everyone stop where they were.
The experienced bandit illuminated the ground with a miner's lamp and saw that it was rugged and rocky ground.
Liu Shiba stared at Ailian Hu silently, with a cold sweat in his heart. He was more nervous than Ailian Hu!
Ailian Hu squatted on the ground, groping the ground with his hands and moving forward cautiously. Liu Shiba stood behind him and also used a miner's lamp to shine on the ground, matching Ailian Hu's movements.
At this time, Liu Shiba felt a sudden panic in his heart!
Then, he used a miner's lamp to shine on the walls around the grotto, and saw that the walls were covered with strange symbols, which looked very strange.
Standing there and looking at Elian Hu's back, Liu Shiba swept around with the miner's lamp and saw in the darkness more than ten meters away, there seemed to be a huge object, reflecting a trace of metallic luster.
Ellen Hu also noticed this trace of metallic luster!
"Woo!"
At this time, Lao Hei and Bi Yan growled a few times in alarm.
"Slimy, be careful!"
Liu Shiba felt a hint of fear in his heart and whispered a reminder.
Elian Hu nodded, squatted and took a few steps forward!
There was still no movement around. Allen Hu tried to use a miner's lamp to illuminate the huge reflective object in the dark. He could only see part of the metallic luster and couldn't tell what it was, but he was sure that it was very huge.
"Okay! Follow my footsteps and come over slowly!"
Elian Hu took a breath and said slowly.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this!
There seems to be no danger in the cave?
"How's the detector?"
Liu Shiba asked without looking back.
"Nothing weird found!"
Zheng Weida controlled the remote control and responded softly.
Liu Shiba nodded slightly and walked over, stepping on Elian Hu's footprints.
There was a faint breeze floating in the darkness, and everyone used miner's lamps to shine around. The beams of light were swaying in the darkness, and densely packed strange symbols could be seen faintly carved on the stone walls.
Everyone was puzzled when they saw this:
What kind of writing is this depicting? Isn’t it the Xiaozhuan font of the Qin and Han Dynasties?
"boom!"
At this moment, a sudden change occurred...
The stone door more than 20 meters behind everyone suddenly fell down with a loud noise!
Everyone was shocked!
Unexpectedly, the way back was cut off without warning.
At this time, a strange light blue fire suddenly lit up in the cave, and everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, and they immediately saw the scene in the cave clearly:
This is a huge circular cave, thousands of square meters in size, with strangely shaped symbols carved on the surrounding stone walls.
What is even more strange is that there are four huge bronze tripods standing quietly at the four corners of the cave.
The flames that rose up without warning and the previously reflected metallic luster came from these four huge copper tripods.
The four big cauldrons are about two people tall and require at least five or six people to hold them together!
The body of the tripod is carved with pictures of evil ghosts with ferocious faces. Each of the carefully carved evil ghosts is showing its teeth and claws, and is struggling in pain. At first glance, it is frightening.
These huge bronze tripods are not the three-legged tripods of the Qin and Han Dynasties, but four-legged tripods.
At the bottom of the tripod, there is a thick round tube inserted into the ground. I don’t know where it is connected?
The foundation of each bronze tripod is surrounded by nine large holes with a diameter of about one meter, and strange blue flames spurt out from the holes.
It was these flames that surged out from the foundations of the four cauldrons, illuminating the entire grotto with a strange, slightly blue color!
Everyone was stunned by this scene!
Cao Xiong stared intently at the blue flames under the cauldron. There was no sound when burning, not even a trace of heat coming out.
Liu Shiba didn't even know why the blue flame appeared strangely, and he didn't know what the hell it was. He could only remind him seriously:
"careful!"
Except for Ai Lian Hu, Liu Shiba, Cao Xiong, Lao Hei, Bi Yan, and a detector that stood out five or six meters in front of everyone, the rest of the people were all closely together, observing the changes around them.
"Dong dong dong!"
There was an eerie silence in the cave. From a small noise to an instant of silence, the heartbeats of everyone were reflected.
Liu Shiba had a gloomy face. Seeing that nothing had changed for the time being, he cautiously walked to a bronze tripod and observed it carefully.
Elian Hu also came over, bulging his eyes, staring at the blue flames spurting out from the ground, and said in confusion:
"What is this? It doesn't get hot when it burns?"
When Liu Shiba heard this, his heart moved. He carefully approached the flame with his finger and said in surprise:
"Not only is there no temperature, but it's also a bit cold?"
Then, the nervous people in the back were very curious and slowly approached the bronze tripod.
Although the blue flames looked fierce, they did not feel any warmth.
Ning Min'er blinked and said curiously:
"Could it be an illusion? There is no flame at all?"
"No!"
Cao Xiong gritted his teeth and thought hard, his face suddenly distorted, and he said in shock:
"Don't get close, this thing is the legendary ghost fire!"
When Liu Shiba heard this, he turned around and said:
"Old Cao, have you read too many Journey to the West and Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio?"
When Cao Xiong heard this, his skinny cheeks trembled and he grinned:
"Fart...that thing is really a ghost fire."
Zhu Yingtai, however, puffed up his teeth and said disdainfully:
"Are you kidding me? Netherworld will-o'-the-wisp, first you have to prove the existence of Netherworld in the world!"
Cao Xiong panicked, stretched out his hand, pointed at the ground under everyone's feet and said:
"If my guess is right, under our feet is the netherworld..."
When everyone heard this, their bodies suddenly trembled, their spines went cold, and they were covered in white-haired cold sweat...
Netherworld hell...?
