Chapter 210, Breaking into the Tomb
After all the illusions stopped, Qingshi went to the back of the stone tablet and began to search for the formation eyes according to his memory. This part of Qingshi's memory from Xiao Lou was like a written record in a book, not from his own experience.
Therefore, deciphering the magic circle based on such memories is far less easy than experiencing it personally.
For example, to find the formation eye, Qingshi knows that the direction of the formation eye of the Seven Glory Formation is Xuanji's position. However, as far as this stone tablet is concerned, where exactly Xuanji's position is and what characteristics it has to facilitate identification, etc., require calculation and testing.
It took Qingshi half an hour to finally determine the location of Xuanji. It was just a small dot on the base of the huge stone tablet. It had no features from the outside. Qingshi tried to use the three-court technique to click, but the result was another... The illusion exploded, obviously it was not successfully cracked.
Next, Qingshi tried all seven methods to crack it, but none of them succeeded. Instead, he was frightened by the roar of the phantom beast seven times.
Qingshi suspected that he had found the wrong location and wanted to ask Xiang An, but Xiang An knew nothing about the Qihuang Formation.
Qingshi then calculated the orientation again, and this time it took nearly an hour. The result was that the calculated orientation was exactly the same as the previous time. Qingshi suspected that his calculation method was wrong, so he changed the calculation method and finally found that it was correct.
I struggled like this for a long time, and even after nightfall, I still couldn't solve it. Qingshi thought hard, and Chen Tianye released a lighting weapon to illuminate Qingshi. Only then did Qingshi realize that it was already night. He suddenly thought that the breaking of the formation might have something to do with the time. After searching for a while, he shook his head in disappointment.
More than an hour passed. Duan, Chen and Xiang were all calm and sat quietly waiting. However, Qingshi became angry and cursed: "I don't understand! I'll just use my strength to break the law!"
After saying that, Qingshi stood up and punched the stone tablet hard. The punch was naturally as strong as a mud cow entering the sea. It did not damage the stone tablet at all, but it triggered the illusion again.
Seeing the monster's phantom opening its mouth and roaring, Qingshi suddenly had an idea and reached out to touch Xuanji's position with the three-court technique. Unexpectedly, he felt something strange this time. His finger penetrated the stone tablet and touched the formation's eye. Suddenly, it was roaring. The monster's shadow and its roar suddenly stopped, and other lights and shadows also became fragmented.
Qingshi laughed loudly and said: "It turns out that the magic array is to be broken when it is activated! Hahaha..."
After cracking the illusion array, Qingshi worked hard to find the seventy-seven forty-nine nodes of the Seven Glory Formation, and cracked them one by one. When the last node was also cracked, the entire illusion of the Seven Glory Formation and even the defensive aura barrier were destroyed. Nothing remains.
"Brother Seven!" Qingshi said with a smile, "You are strong, see if you can knock this stone tablet down."
"Okay!" Duan Wutian agreed. Then he walked forward with a smile, rolled up his sleeves, placed his palms on the stone tablet, made some preparations, exhaled and said, "Pour it for me..."
This guy's strength was truly astonishing, and he was able to forcefully push down the huge stone tablet that was twenty feet high, five feet wide, and six feet thick.
The stone tablet fell to the ground, making a horrifying muffled sound, and broke into two pieces. In the smoke and dust, you could see a dark hole exposed under the base of the overturned stone tablet.
The entrance to the cave is a square with a length of six feet and a width of six feet. The four walls are built with giant strips of stone, and the passage inside the cave is filled with broken strips of stone and large and small gravels.
Qingshi checked the array facilities on the stele and found that in addition to the various array mechanisms and array patterns embedded on the stele, there were indeed hundreds of golden metal wires, all of which went deep into the ground along the walls of the tomb passage. It shows that the spiritual source of the Seven Glory Formation comes from underground, most likely the main vein of spiritual stone.
"Seventh Brother Lao Xiang," Qingshi looked at the entrance of the cave and said, "Don't you really want to dig for treasure? Just dig! This is the tomb passage. You can enter after digging out all the rubble."
The four people began to clean the tomb passage. This tomb passage was vertically downward. It was unknown how deep it was. Due to the limited space, four people could not operate together. Therefore, Xiang An, Duan Wutian, and Qingshi Chen Tianye took turns digging and transporting the tomb.
I dug like this for a whole day and a half, and it wasn't until dusk the next day that I finally dug to the bottom. The cleaned tomb passage is a hundred feet deep. At the bottom is a space about three feet in length, width and height. There are stone walls on the south, east and west sides. On the north side are two huge stone doors. Except for dozens of fist-sized doornails, there is nothing on the door leaves. Any other decoration.
The four of them stood in front of the tall stone gate.
Duan Wutian said excitedly: "Qingshi, take out that big hammer of yours and break the door!"
"Simple and crude!" Chen Tianye said: "Do we have to break in? Isn't it enough to break its defensive formation?"
"You're an amateur now, Sassy Beard," Duan Wutian said with a smile, "I'll bet 10,000 high-grade spiritual stones that this door definitely doesn't have an additional magic circle, and it's pretty much the same with the hidden weapon mechanism that triggers it."
"Just bet!" Chen Tianye said, "What do you think of Qingshi?"
"This time, Seventh Brother was right," Qingshi said.
"Why?" Chen Tianye stared and said, "I think this gate is very similar to the fifth-level magic circle stone gate in Jiufeng Mountain, only it is larger in scale."
"This is not an ordinary door." Qingshi smiled, "No matter what kind of door is for people to pass through, except the tomb door. This is a tomb. Could it be that the owner of the tomb will give you an intelligence test and leave a key? Anyone who can solve the problem can get the key to open the door and get his funeral objects? So, this is the door of death, and it can only be destroyed by brute force."
"Oh!" Chen Tianye suddenly realized, but said unwillingly, "That's not necessarily the case. Can't we build a defensive array on top of the death door to make it more difficult to break through?"
"You have to do this, but I think it's unnecessary." Qingshi said, "Let's see what the situation is."
After saying that, Qingshi took out the big hammer and threw it to Duan Wutian and said: "Brother Qi, you are strong, so you should do it!"
"Okay!" Duan Wutian took the sledgehammer, swung it over his head without saying a word, and hit the stone door hard with the hammer.
There was a muffled bang, and the entire underground foyer space shook slightly, and some gravel even fell down along the shaft. This shows that the power of this hammer is indeed amazing.
This hammer is enough to show that Shimen is indeed not protected by a magic circle, not even a hidden weapon.
"Lao Duan is so strong!" Chen Tianye praised loudly, "Come again!"
Duan Wutian threw the sledgehammer on the ground, turned around and said with a smile: "Young Beard, you'd better take the bet first!"
"Hey! Look at your money-obsessed look!" Chen Tianye curled his lips and said. However, he still honestly took out a large bag of high-grade spiritual stones and threw them to Duan Wutian.
Duan Wutian was elated after winning the bet, grabbed a sledgehammer and smashed the door harder.
The door looked tall and majestic, but in fact it was not very strong. Duan Wucai smashed it seven or eight times, and a crack was created in the door on the left.
When Duan Wutian saw the tomb door being smashed into cracks, his energy doubled. He shouted and swung the hammer out again. There was a dull and loud bang, and an irregular hole was smashed out of the stone door more than one person above the ground. , you can see that the stone gate is about two feet thick.
As the stone door was smashed, a faint purple smoke slowly floated out from the hole.
Evil spirit!
This turned out to be an evil spirit that was so strong that it could be seen with the naked eye.
Qingshi and others are all wearing body armor, and they have been shielding the evil spirit in the air since entering this area. However, seeing such a strong evil spirit floating out from behind the stone door, several people couldn't help but feel secretly frightened.
Obviously, the tomb chamber behind the stone door must be filled with evil spirits, and the dangerous aura that had always been looming became more prominent as the stone door was opened.
"Oh my god, it's so scary!" Xiang An said, "With such a strong evil spirit, I'm afraid my armor will run out of spiritual energy in a short time."
"I bet 10,000 high-grade spiritual stones," Duan Wutian said, "This evil spirit is definitely not the most terrifying, there must be something more terrifying inside." After saying that, he looked at Chen Tianye expectantly.
"Are you crazy about money? Who would bet with you?" Chen Tianye rolled his eyes at Duan Wutian and said, "Even an idiot can see such an obvious fact."
"You called me an idiot?" Duan Wutian said angrily.
"Who scolded you?" Chen Tianye said, "I mean, even an idiot can see it. Naturally, a smart person like you can see it even better."
"That's pretty much it!" Duan Wutian said proudly.
Qingshi and Xiang An couldn't help laughing together.
Seeing the two of them laughing, Duan Wutian tilted his bald head and thought for a moment, "That's not right! Why do I feel like the slutty beard is still scolding me? Qingshi, is he scolding me?"
"No!" Qingshi laughed, "If he wants to praise me as 'extremely smart', I won't think he is scolding me!"
"That's right," Xiang An said with a smile, "He praised you!"
"Okay, okay!" Chen Tianye said, "Duan Tu, your tail is raised to the sky after you win a bet? Don't you want to work hard anymore? Stop talking nonsense and hurry up."
"Smash it!"
Duan Wutian picked up the giant hammer and continued to smash it, but after seven or eight strokes, the hole was enlarged enough for two people to enter and exit side by side.
The purple evil spirit kept pouring out from the cracked doorway and lingered for a long time. Several people waited for a quarter of an hour but didn't see it fade away.
Qingshi said: "I'm afraid this evil spirit will not dissipate. I guess it will only become more intense inside. No more, let's go in."
The other three people naturally agreed, so Duan Wutian took the lead, and several people filed in through the broken door.
After entering the stone gate, I saw a passage in front of me. This passage was obviously renovated using a natural cave. The ground was a brick pavement that slowly descended according to the topography. The surrounding cave walls were embedded with large and small black demons. Stones, evil spirits are naturally emitted from these black evil stones.
The four of them released their lighting spiritual weapons and floated in front of them. They carefully followed the corridor and soon came to another huge stone door.
"Why is there another stone gate?" Chen Tianye said, "Strange!"
"No matter how many doors it opens," Duan Wutian took out his giant hammer and said, "I just smash it open!" He said and started to take action.
At this moment, the stone door in front of him slowly opened inward with a rumble. The stone door was more than five feet thick, and he didn't know why it opened automatically.
Several people stopped and were alert.
As the door opened, the situation behind the stone door quickly became clear. This was still a long and giant natural passage, but this passage was very regular. The ground and surrounding stone walls were relatively straight. The passage was filled with evil spirits. The light is dim.
What's surprising is that there are life-size puppets lined up in the passage. The puppets are all human-shaped and about the same size, but their faces include humans and beasts. They all have ferocious faces and each holds a weapon in their hands.
There are nine rows of puppets in total, and each row is probably as long as at least a hundred. Each puppet is about six feet apart from the front, back, left, and right. They are neatly arranged and cover the entire underground passage. The total number is no less than a thousand.
Behind this long queue of puppets is another stone door embedded in the mountain wall.
Terracotta Warriors and Horses?
Qingshi was inexplicably surprised. He really didn't expect that there were thousands of life-sized samurai puppets in this underground tomb of gods.
