"As the saying goes, the older you get, the crueler your heart becomes. It seems to be true now." Wang Kaixuan grinned and felt goosebumps coming out.
Hu Bayi also sighed with emotion: "You really can't underestimate these old seniors, they actually made such a ruthless game based on local conditions."
Chen Ziyan and Ding Sitian have made it very clear. If he can't figure out what's going on, his head will be in vain.
I think that the Captain Mojin who built the Fish Bone Temple encountered some difficult situations after breaking through the obstruction of the ghost tomb here. At that time, he was not sure of successfully escaping, so he borrowed this ghost. Tsukasa set the game.
Once he does have an accident, if others later try to touch the Golden Colonel, not only will they not be blocked, but they will also get some benefits from it.
If the visitor is not a gold captain, he will become a sacrifice in the Ghost Tomb, thus turning this place into a desperate place.
But while figuring this out, new doubts also arise.
That is--
Since that senior has cracked the Ghost Tomb, why not just leave?
What kind of thing makes him unwilling to let go even though he knows that something unexpected will happen?
Judging from the situation in that agency, this senior has probably been killed, so what is the danger that keeps him here forever?
This series of questions kept turning over in Hu Bayi's mind, making him feel dizzy.
By this time, Chen Ziyan had calmed down. Seeing the confusion on Hu Bayi's face, he asked, "Old Hu, is there any problem?"
Because he was attracted by the human sacrifice, he didn't think too much about it, and he didn't know what Hu Bayi thought about.
Upon hearing Chen Ziyan's inquiry, Hu Bayi did not hide his thoughts and directly expressed his doubts.
After hearing these questions from him, Chen Ziyan also frowned slightly.
He is now also curious about what caused Jin Abacus to do all this.
Unlike Hu Bayi, who had no information, Chen Ziyan, who had some knowledge of the Golden Abacus, knew that the mysterious illusion mechanism they had just encountered was not something left to touch Colonel Jin later, but something he had deliberately left behind. The ultimate gift to his disciples.
Although Ding Sitian seems to have figured out the secret medicine, no matter how Chen Ziyan thinks about it now, he feels that it is not as simple as it seems.
It's just that he knows nothing about this aspect, so there is no problem with following the instructions, but if he does any in-depth research, his eyesight will be blackened.
At this moment, Shirley Yang suddenly asked: "I wonder if you know the rumors about the crossroads?"
Shirley Yang's focus was different from others. After seeing this intersection composed of burglar holes, she was thinking about why the other party made the burglar holes so neatly.
It can be seen from the location of the holes on the left and right sides that these locations were specially selected and were not dug casually.
However, the excavation traces were very messy, indicating that the other party was in a hurry at the time. There was undoubtedly 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 said, "Yin Yang Road?"
Shirley Yang nodded and expressed her speculation: "I suspect that the senior at that time was planning to create a simple yin and yang path to get out of the predicament he was in!"
Hu Bayi was inspired and asked: "Could it be that when he was trying to use the Yin-Yang Road to leave the Ghost Tomb, this senior discovered something that attracted him, and then he temporarily changed his mind? , I 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 intersections 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. It's really It wouldn’t be surprising if this senior discovered something.”
What he didn't say was that if there really was a bronze door hidden here, it would be beyond the description of a geomantic treasure.
Take the bronze door in Changbai Mountain as an example. This kind of thing is located in an area where no one would be surprised if anything bad happens.
Wang Kaixuan was not interested in solving the mystery. He was bored by what he heard, so he urged: "It's useless to think about this. Anyway, now that I know which way leads to the Hades Palace, I might as well go inside and take a look first! "
"I don't know what you are thinking about. You are just a drunkard who is not interested in drinking. You want to go to Hades Palace so actively because you are thinking about the treasure inside." Hu Bayi immediately exposed Wang Kaixuan's Xiao Jiujiu.
"I just don't understand. You said that if we encounter the same things that senior encountered, no matter how many ghost weapons we have, we can't take them out. If we can't take this treasure out, what's the difference between it and scrap metal?"
Wang Kaixuan retorted unhappily: "I am looking at the problem from a strategic development perspective, okay? Think about it, it is unknown whether we will encounter danger, but the treasure in the Hades Palace is really there. , let’s go and put it in your pocket first, you can’t just leave if you want to, even if you take ten thousand steps back, if you really encounter any kind of danger, then there will be funeral objects.”
"Okay, I can't explain it to you. One sentence leads to such a lot of fallacies!" Hu Bayi waved his hand and said his bottom line: "Don't care whether you are talking about flowers falling from the sky or golden lotuses emerging from the ground. Anyway, today I You have to figure this out, otherwise you won’t feel at ease in your heart.”
Hu Bayi's purpose of trying to figure out the cause of the incident was simple. First of all, such a powerful senior might be killed because of this, 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 the same is true for him.
Seeing this, Chen Ziyan said aloud: "Let's explore the two thieves' caves on the left and right to see what's going on inside and if we can find anything. If we don't find anything, let's go to the Hades Palace first. Look, maybe we can get some clues there.”
Naturally, he couldn't let Hu Bayi waste all his time here.
But looking at the performance of several people now, it seems that except for Wang Kaixuan, everyone else is curious about the mystery hidden in this place, and it would be inappropriate to stop it rashly, so he came up with such a compromise.
Neither Hu Bayi nor Wang Kaixuan had any objections to Chen Ziyan's proposal, because they also thought it was a good way to resolve differences.
Hu Bayi immediately tied a rope around his waist and entered the robbery cave on the left first.
Without letting everyone wait for too long, he walked back from inside with a head of sweat.
Seeing Hu Bayi come out, Wang Kaixuan asked curiously: "Old Hu, what's inside?"
Hu Bayi gasped and said: "It's getting narrower and narrower here. You have to crawl on the last section. There is nothing except a stone wall at the end."
It's so narrow and difficult to walk in here, and it also gives people a particularly depressing feeling, as if they were buried alive underground. If it were a vulnerable person, they would probably have a nervous breakdown.
Wang Kaixuan then asked: "Are you still going in?"
He felt that the one on the right should have the same result.
"Come in!" After wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead, Hu Bayi responded, got up and entered the burglar's cave on the right.
It's still the same gradually shrinking space, and the same stone wall blocking the end, but the difference here is that the thief didn't stop there after digging the stone wall, but went upwards along the stone wall.
Apparently he wanted to dig directly upward from here to bypass the stone wall blocking the road.
Hu Bayi came to the stone wall, raised his flashlight and looked upward into the robbery cave.
But after just one glance, he withdrew his gaze.
Because just a few meters above, there was a stone slab blocking the road. It was like being trapped in a huge stone box.
After Hu Bayi exited here and told others about his findings, Shirley Yang said: "Now it seems that the robbery holes on both sides are failures in a sense, unless it is really Discover something through this intersection.”
She now wants to know more 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 explore, and said softly: "Since we have explored the robbery caves on both sides and found nothing, we should continue walking."
Things here have finally been dealt with, and he doesn't want to continue to waste time here.
And Chen Ziyan doesn't want to try the so-called crossroads now.
If he remembered correctly, there were Yin soldiers at the Bronze Gate in Changbai Mountain. If some Yin soldiers accidentally came out through this intersection, they might not be able to deal with them.
Although he also knew that the so-called Yin soldiers may not be the kind in the legend, but he thought they were not kind-hearted creatures.
After hearing Chen Ziyan's words, Shirley Yang glanced at the burglar's cave facing the front, but did not say what she was brewing in her heart.
This intersection leads to four directions in total, and now she already knows the situation in three of them, but she still knows nothing about the last one.
She felt that she should take a trip first, maybe as she said just now, she might find some clues here.
As for acting alone, this has never been within the scope of Shirley Yang's consideration. The danger in the ancient tomb is extremely dangerous. This tomb has not even reached the Hades Palace, but there is already such an existence as the Ghost Tomb. It is difficult to imagine what else is hidden. Unexpected things, she only ran to act alone because her brain was playing tricks.
Since no one objected, the team immediately resumed their original order and entered the robbery cave directly in front of them one by one.
Tick-tock——
After walking around for a while, the clear sound of water droplets sounded.
Wang Kaixuan, the leader, reminded: "Everyone, be careful where you step. There may be a cave in front of us."
Although the others were behind him at this time, they were very close to each other, so they also heard the sound of water dripping.
After being vigilant and continuing for dozens of steps, the group of them came to a long and narrow cave.
Standing at the exit of the Thief Cave, you can clearly see that there is a similar cave entrance directly opposite here.
Hu Bayi pointed at the entrance of the cave and said, "It seems we still have some way to go."
The thieves dug here and encountered this natural cave in the mountain, so they made use 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 can only be reached after walking down the road." Wang Kaixuan said.
No one had any objection to his statement, because they all thought so too.
Of course, except for Chen Ziyan who knew what was ahead of him.
Chen Ziyan knew that his destination was right in front of him, so he said, "Let's go, let's walk the rest of the way and wait until we get to the Hades Palace to rest."
After entering the second section of the cave, they only advanced more than fifty meters before encountering 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, after walking up about ten meters, I saw a piece of blue bricks.
These green bricks are all of the Tang Dynasty style, and they are obviously the bricks used to lay the foundation of the tomb.
Hu Bayi took a look at the blue bricks and said, "It looks like we are at the right place. This kind of tomb bricks are only laid under the Hades Hall. The rest of the ground and walls are made of big stones fixed with iron bars."
Wang Kaixuan asked in confusion: "Then why don't you do it here?"
Although he is a tomb robber, no, an archaeologist, this design makes him very convenient, but it cannot stop him from having a desire to learn.
Hu Bayi did not ridicule this time, but explained patiently: "This kind of place is called a virtual place, and it is a must-have arrangement in the tomb. However, since the Yuan Dynasty, this kind of place where "empty places" are left to hide the wind The form has been greatly changed because this kind of place is easy to break through, but the tradition of leaving a "vacant position" was still retained in the Qing Dynasty, but it was changed to a very small size, only a few inches in size, and no one could enter.
But even with this flaw, generally speaking, the Tang tomb's sturdiness and luxurious scale are unparalleled in history. There are several giant stone gates below the tomb passage.
Deep in the mountains, thick stone walls will be built around them, which cannot be described as impregnable.
Moreover, there are one or several mechanisms on the empty space of the Tang Tomb.
The mechanisms of these mechanisms are hidden in the tomb bricks in the Hades Palace. Once the empty tomb bricks are broken, the mechanisms will be triggered.
According to the layout of the Tang tomb, there are quicksand, nests, stone piles, etc. It is possible that the flaps will fall down and completely seal the underworld. They would rather destroy the empty space that hides the wind and gather energy than remove the buried objects. Cheap tomb robbers.
Fortunately, before we came, this mechanism had been broken by Captain Mo Jin who came in first, so we saved a lot of trouble and didn't have to worry about those mechanisms anymore. "
After finishing speaking, Hu Bayi's expression showed a little bit of happiness.
The advantage left by the forerunner was picked up by him despite all the trouble.
If it weren't for that senior, the traps here would probably have stopped them for a long time.
If there is any powerful mechanism, it is very likely to be injured or something.
