While talking, Luo Xing heard a rush of footsteps.
It was Yang Yingchun and Hu Sanniang who came down.
"Xiao Qi, are you okay?" When Hu Sanniang saw Luo Xing, she came forward to ask anxiously, her concern evident in her words.
"It's okay, Third Master's Wife."
"You feel different..." Hu Sanniang is a first-grade grandmaster, and she noticed the changes in Luo Xing's body as soon as she came into contact with him.
"Oh, when I came down just now, I accidentally broke through. I am already a third-level martial artist." Luo Xing said lightly.
"Ah, you have a breakthrough?"
Yang Yingchun pinched her teeth and felt that Luo Xing's pretentious appearance really deserved a beating. Fortunately, he had a chance to be honest when he returned, so he won't have any more attacks now.
It is not easy to fight beyond the level. You must teach this guy a lesson and get back the anger you suffered before.
"The opportunity just came. I thought it was always a good thing to increase my strength, so I broke through directly. Anyway, it is safe here and no one will disturb me." Luo Xingyun nodded lightly and said.
"You are so bold. Don't do this again." Hu Sanniang warned, "When I came in just now, I saw the corpses that died under the machine. Judging from the clothes, they were probably the ones we met. The villagers of Lixia Village are not weak in martial arts and can be said to be all masters, but they all died under these mechanisms, which shows how powerful the mechanisms here are."
"Third Master, can you tell the time of death of these corpses?"
"I took a rough look and based on the room temperature and dryness here, I roughly estimated that it should be four or five days."
"Four or five days ago, that's when we entered Funiu Mountain. If we calculate based on the time it took us to pass through Lixia Village and get here, they left Lixia Village about the same time as we left Luojing." Luo Xing analyzed.
"Well, it seems almost the same." Hu Sanniang said, "By the way, Xiaoqi, have you noticed that Princess Qingyi and Liuli have been here?"
"No, they don't seem to have been here." Hu Sanniang reminded him, and Luo Xing immediately realized what he had always felt was wrong.
"Then where did they go?"
"This seems to be a suspected tomb for Taoist Chi. The real tomb is not here, and the treasures and funerary objects here have also been moved away, leaving some that cannot be moved." Luo Xing pointed to the items around him. Traces left behind by removal.
"How did they transport so much treasure?"
"As long as there are more people and everyone carries a little burden, they can naturally move away. But where did they go with so much treasure?"
"Could he have left already?"
"It would be a good thing if he left, but if he didn't leave, where was that person?" Luo Xing murmured to himself.
Yang Yingchun said: "We came down from above, but there is a passage on the opposite side. Could it be that these people went to that passage?"
"It's very possible."
"Qilang, come and see, the life of this Taoist Chi is really wonderful." As soon as Duan Tieniu came in, he was attracted by the stories on the murals on the wall.
"Indeed, there are no records of these things about Taoist Chi from the outside world. If they were sorted out and given to storytellers, it would be a good story." Luo Xing nodded.
"We finally came here, and all we have left are the luminous pearls and gems on the dome. How about we pick out a few and take them away?" Liang Guochun stared at the luminous pearls and gems on the top, showing a hint of greed, and took out any one. If I sell it, it will cost a lot.
"No, these luminous pearls and gems are arranged according to certain rules. If any one is taken away, the dome will be unable to withstand it, collapse instantly, and we will be buried alive." Luo Xing said.
"impossible?"
"If General Liang doesn't believe it, when we get out, you can pick out as many as you like and bring them out, and it will be yours. How about that?" Luo Xing laughed.
Although the treasure is good, it only needs the flower of life. Why do the people who come in take away the treasure and funerary objects on the ground without touching the luminous pearls and gems inlaid on the dome?
They are very aware of the danger if they move. This is how the tomb owner designed it. If the tomb robbers are too greedy, they will be buried alive completely.
Liang Guochun smiled coquettishly: "I just said it casually. Captain Luo doesn't need to take it seriously."
He is not stupid. Since Luo Xing said this, it must be true. Otherwise, the sum of the luminous pearls and gems on the dome would be more than enough to buy a big house in Luojing City.
If life is not at stake, only a fool would give it up.
"There should be a coffin placed here, and it was taken away by them, right?"
"I guess so. Anyway, I didn't see the coffin when I came in." Luo Xing lied. The coffin was so big anyway, and if it wasn't for the Heart-Protect Dragon Scale Ring, he wouldn't have anywhere to hide it.
"Let's go, I always feel so scared here, let's go out first." Hu Sanniang greeted, and everyone quickly returned to the original route.
However, when I came to the door, I found a problem. The door was closed.
This bronze door has an automatic rebound device that can only be opened from the outside and cannot be opened from the inside. In other words, unless someone opens it from the outside, you can only stay inside and wait to die.
Now everyone was dumbfounded.
Everyone has never been to the tomb and has little experience. They just came in again and completely forgot about this incident.
Even if the rebound device is destroyed now and the door is closed, it cannot be pushed out from the inside. Now there is nothing I can do even if I have no strength.
what to do?
Could this be the plan of the owner who built this large tomb, but experienced people generally would not be fooled, and a thoughtful person like Luo Xing also ignored it.
In other words, he didn't expect Hu Sanniang and others to just push the door open and come in.
Well, now, the person who is rescuing people is trapped, so how can he save people?
"Generally when building a large tomb, the workers who built the tomb are afraid that the owner of the tomb will eventually kill him and silence him, so the workers will secretly dig an escape tunnel. We didn't see any corpses of the workers who built the tomb here. Is it possible that the tomb owner was so kind and put these things away? When people leave, aren't you afraid that they will leak the secret of the tomb?" Liang Guochun asked.
"If these workers built another tomb after building this tomb, they might not be trapped and killed here." Yang Yingchun retorted.
"this……"
"The mechanisms in this tomb are extremely exquisite, and those puppets can still be effective after thousands of years. I am afraid that it is not something ordinary people can do. I just took a look at the standard of the arrow clusters. They should be forged by Tiangongfang, and the mechanism is secret. The design of the courtyard was supervised by Qiqiao Pavilion," Hu Sanniang said.
"Where's the puppet?"
"The puppet is the work of Lingguan Palace, and the production method has been lost."
"Qiqiao Pavilion specializes in designing and building mausoleums for the royal family. Naturally, they know the cruelty of this industry. Once they are selected to build a mausoleum for the emperor, they have no chance of survival, but they have to do it. So, if Qiqiao Pavilion supervises the construction of this place, If so, maybe we will have a turn for the better." Hu Sanniang said.
"What's the turning point?"
"The superintendents of Qiqiao Pavilion built the big tomb, and they said it was perfect, but in fact, they like to hide a glimmer of life in the big tomb. The tomb is used to bury the dead, but human nature yearns for life, so this ray of life Life is not only reserved for the deceased, but also reserved for yourself." Hu Sanniang said.
"It's really unheard of to say something like this."
"There is a lineage in Qiqiao Pavilion that likes to do this. After all, no one wants to die, and no matter how well the tomb is built, no matter how many traps there are, as long as someone wants to break it, they can always find a way." Hu Sanniang explained that there is a Qiqiao Pavilion at home. The descendant of the Pavilion, Hu Sanniang usually likes these strange people and strange things in the world. She has a good relationship with Xiaoliu and often hears her tell some legends about the Qiqiao Pavilion.
"How to find this?"
"I don't know either, but Qiqiao Pavilion is actually proficient in information agencies, but they are good at manufacturing, while Tianjiyuan is good at design."
"Ji Yu'er, help look for it, otherwise no one will go out and your grand ambition of hegemony will not be realized!" Luo Xing's spiritual consciousness entered the Guanyin Pendant and awakened Ji Yu'er.
"Then you have to promise me something?" Ji Yuer took the opportunity to threaten.
"you say."
"I haven't thought about it now. I'll tell you when I think about it," Ji Yu'er said.
"Okay, but I have to declare that I will not do anything that harms others or goes against my principles." Luo Xing also set up an insurance policy for himself.
"Of course." Ji Yu'er agreed directly without hesitation, and then came out of the Guanyin Pendant.
In the Coffin Hall, the surrounding walls are blocked by insulating materials. She cannot penetrate the walls and enter the interior to investigate the relevant situation. However, it is much easier in the passage. After all, these mechanisms need to be activated, which will naturally leave many gaps. , and the underground and walls of the passage are full of mechanisms. These mechanisms need to be triggered and driven by energy...
In addition to Ji Yu'er, others are also looking for possible doubts in the passage. After all, survival is an instinct, and no one gives up easily.
Time passed minute by minute.
No matter how hard everyone searched, they found nothing. They did not find any escape route. They also tried to press a handle on the bronze door and then pull the bronze door through the handle. However, the bronze door was extremely hard and impossible to do.
"Shichiro, I found a crack, but I don't know where this crack leads..."
"Can you tell how the crack was formed?" Luo Xing said happily.
"I don't know, it should be formed by the earth dragon turning over."
"If the earth dragon turns over, isn't it an earthquake?" Luo Xing chuckled, with a smile on his face.
"Xiaoqi, why are you laughing?" Hu Sanniang asked strangely when she found that Luo Xing was laughing for no reason.
"Third Master Niang, we may have a chance to get out of trouble." Luo Xing explained.
"What?"
"Here, about ten meters away, there is a crack that a person can pass through." Luo Xing stepped forward, pointed at a spot on the cave wall, and said, "This crack may be our life passage."
"you sure?"
"I don't know where the crack leads, but if there is air in the crack, it means it is connected to the outside world. Is this an opportunity for us?" Luo Xing explained.
"Xiao Qi is right!" Hu Sanniang said loudly.
