"There was this stone door in the video, and there was a hidden switch near the stone door. However, once the door is opened, it will trigger the mechanism and shoot out a lot of crossbow arrows. The crossbow arrows themselves are not difficult to avoid, but the problem is that there seems to be danger after the crossbow arrows pass by."
In front of the door, in front of He Fei and other members of the Shenzhou team, Abdullah told the content of the video he had watched before. The content was exactly the same as that of the Shenzhou team, including those of the tomb robbers. After hearing this, He Fei nodded and said, "It seems that the video preview played by the curse to our two teams is the same, but I didn't expect that the scenes in the video would appear in the mission."
"Then what should we do next?" It seemed that they had thought of it together. When the captains of both teams admitted that there was such a freshly remembered scene in the video, the members of the two teams asked questions at the same time. Faced with the question, He Fei did not speak. Looking back at his teammates, Abdullah also instinctively looked at Ives and other members of his own team. Currently, Cheng Ying and Tang Meng were staring at the stone gate and looking up and down. Finally, Cheng Ying came forward and said: "The appearance of the stone gate is different from the one in the video. It’s basically the same, except I don’t know if there is a hidden switch.”
"Tch, this is easy to handle. Can't we just look for it?"
Seeing that Cheng Ying identified the stone door as the one in the video, Peng Hu was very straightforward and went directly to the door to look closely. According to the memory in the video, Peng Hu soon made a discovery in a certain position in the right corner, and then Locking on an ordinary piece of brick, the surface is a wall brick that is no different from the surrounding bricks. However, if you shine it carefully with a cat's eye flashlight, you can actually see a very subtle gap. I tapped the other bricks with my fingers. , and then knocked on the cracked brick, and the two sounds were slightly the same. There was no doubt that the brick that made the crisp sound was most likely the hidden switch that opened the stone door.
"Found it, right here! This is the stone brick that the tomb robber pressed down in the first place!"
Knowing that the hidden switch really existed, everyone who was already nervous became even more nervous. It was only at this moment that Zhao Ping, who had been silent the whole time, spoke. He held his glasses and said to He Fei: "It seems that the answer has been found. In that case , then we may have to think of a complete solution before that."
The perfect strategy in Zhao Ping's mouth naturally refers to the next response method. The implication is that he has no solution. As for what to do next? He Fei can figure it out.
It is conceivable that even Zhao Ping, who has always had many ideas, has no solution. How can others think of countermeasures? This is said to be true, and it is also true. After confirming that the stone door is the dangerous stone door with the hidden switch in the video, he maintained his inner panic. Everyone looked at He Fei. During this period, Chen Xiaoyao also said as if to remind him: " Behind it is the completely sealed entrance to the Diling Tomb, there is no second way, in fact we have no choice.”
Chen Xiaoyao's seemingly indifferent words directly pointed out the current situation. Yes, as Chen Xiaoyao said, the tomb passage where everyone is located is a one-way passage. There is no possibility of turning around or finding another way. If you want to If they continue to go deep into the Diling Tomb to carry out their mission, they can only pass through the stone gate. There is no other way. Everyone understands this truth, so why doesn't He Fei understand it? In fact, after all, there is only one way before everyone, and that is to move forward courageously, even if it is known that opening the stone door will be dangerous!
Thinking of this, He Fei made a decision. He first exchanged glances with Zhao Ping and others, and then looked at each other with Abdullah, who had failed to negotiate. Seeing Abdullah nodded slightly and exhaled, He Fei gave the order. He said: "Everyone, listen up. Now everyone has their backs against the wall. Do not stand in the middle of the tomb passage. Chen Xiaoyao, go and open the door!"
When watching the video preview, everyone had witnessed that opening the stone door would instantly trigger the crossbow mechanism. Fortunately, the crossbow arrows only flew in a straight line. If you want to avoid the crossbow arrows, you only need to stay away from the center of the tomb passage. Sure enough, as soon as He Fei finished speaking, the understanding young man The senior members of the two teams rushed to both sides. Although the newcomers didn't know what to do, they also followed suit and pressed their backs against the wall. What's worth mentioning is that while leaning against the wall, many senior members also stretched their hands. Pocket, the specific intention is self-evident.
As for Chen Xiaoyao...
Seeing everyone pressing their backs against the wall, Chen Xiaoyao jumped up, came to the door and pressed the switch!
Wow…
Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!
As the masonry representing the switch was pressed hard, the next moment, the stone door that was originally blocking the road opened directly. And as soon as it was opened, there was an instant sound of breaking through the air, and dozens of powerful crossbow arrows roared out. Come, and Chen Xiaoyao also quickly retreated to the corner next to the door the moment he discovered the crossbow arrows. For a moment, under the eyes of everyone who looked either frightened or frightened, a large number of crossbow arrows rushed through the tomb passage, enough to shoot the elephants alive. Seeing the rain of arrows, everyone was secretly frightened. Even though they were frightened, they couldn't help but feel happy, it was so dangerous! Fortunately, I had watched the video preview in advance. If not, this wave of arrows alone would have killed more than half of them! If there were still people who were doubtful and didn't believe it at first, then after seeing the scene of arrows flying in front of them, their doubts completely disappeared, because the scene in front of them was exactly the same as in the video!
Since the crossbow mechanism is real, doesn't this mean...
Leaving his back against the wall in advance certainly saved the executor from a catastrophic disaster, but for some reason, after the crossbow arrows were fired, there was no sound. Next, whether it was the senior members of the Chinese team, the senior members of the Arabian team, or even He Fei Everyone, including the two captains Abdullah, could not control their hearts and their hearts were high. Their faces turned pale and they were breathing rapidly. Their eyes immediately looked towards the tomb passage when they came from. During this period, almost everyone was tightly holding items in their pockets. As if ready to take it out at any time.
The intense nervousness of the seniors left the two teams of newcomers puzzled. It was clear that all the crossbow arrows had been fired and the scene was safe again, but why did these people show more nervous expressions than when they had just witnessed the crossbow arrows? Of course, it doesn't matter whether the newcomers are suspicious or not. What's important is that the seniors have always maintained a high degree of vigilance, and time passes by seconds in the collective vigilance of everyone, one minute, two minutes, three minutes...
Until five minutes passed quietly, nothing happened at the scene, and the tomb passage was dark from beginning to end when he was stared at.
Huh?
Finally, after being on guard for a long time, they saw that there was no abnormality in the tomb passage on the opposite side. The senior people were shocked. After the crowd gathered again, Peng Hu touched his head and said in shock: "Is everything okay? Nothing happened?"
While speaking, he glanced at the crowd and saw that He Fei and others also had expressions of astonishment mixed with joy. There was no doubt that after discovering that there was nothing unusual after the crossbow arrows passed, except for the newcomers who were inexplicable throughout the process, the seniors were greatly relieved. Let’s not talk about the reason for the moment, but at least the most terrible thing did not happen. As expected, as soon as Peng Hu’s inquiry ended, Chen Shuihong shook his fat and retorted: “Brother Peng, look at what you said, it’s okay. , It’s okay!”
"Yes, yes, I thought the situation in the video would happen just now, but it turned out to be a false alarm." Xu Shi was also frightened by the tense atmosphere just now. As soon as Chen Shuihong finished speaking, the Arab named Osborne The short man in the team also agreed and agreed very much with the middle-aged fat man's statement. After all, it is always a good thing to have nothing!
"call!"
Sure enough, seeing the situation change, others gradually relaxed one after another, and everyone secretly relaxed. It was relaxing to relax, but soon a problem also appeared, that is...
"What's going on? Why did the development of events after the crossbow suddenly change? The tomb passage is the same, the stone door is the same, the switch is the same, even the machine crossbow arrows are the same, but why is it different later?" After wiping away the cold sweat that had just covered his forehead due to nervousness, Li Tianheng asked curiously, but unfortunately...
No one answered his question, and all he got was blank expressions. Even He Fei frowned, as if he didn't know what he was talking about. Although he had eye contact with Cheng Ying and others during this period, no one could He shook his head blankly, and Abdullah and other members of the Arab team who were also present at the scene also had no answer.
Fortunately, everyone is not the kind of person who likes to get into trouble. The crowd stared at each other for a long time. After confirming that it was impossible to find the answer, He Fei and Abdullah discussed again for a while, and finally decided to move on.
"Let's go on."
So, with He Fei's greeting, the crowd continued to move forward and shuttled along the tomb passage again. The formation was still with the Shenzhou team in the lead and the Arab team in the back. In addition, because they had just experienced a trap, everyone was more cautious this time, almost. Nerves were tense, lest the mechanism be triggered again. It is true that they had escaped the heavy rain of crossbows just now, but they relied on the video preview they had seen before. They were completely ignorant later. If the mechanism was triggered again, they would really have to do it. Tough luck.
Maintaining a high degree of vigilance, the two execution teams with different affiliations moved slowly in the tomb passage again, and finally disappeared into the darkness ahead. However, when they passed the stone gate, just as the people were fading away, not long after, a detail happened quietly.
Opposite the stone gate, behind the tomb passage that the executor passed through before, in the darkness, a string of extremely unclear low laughter could be heard faintly:
"Hey Hey Hey……"
At the same time, Master Haller, who was walking slowly in front, suddenly turned back and looked at the tomb passage behind him.
"Huh? Master Haller, what's wrong with you?" The old man's sudden turning back instantly attracted the attention of Avis beside him, and he subconsciously asked, but the old man did not answer. He just stared at the tomb passage behind him, staring at the dark silence. In the tomb passage, the old man looked hesitant, as if he was not sure about a certain situation and couldn't make a conclusion for a while. In the end, he just shook his head and said: "It's nothing, maybe I am too sensitive."
The actual length of the dark mausoleum passage made the executor secretly frightened. There was no denying that everyone deliberately slowed down their progress out of caution. However, despite this, they still walked for nearly half an hour. Fortunately, the process was relatively safe, and there was no further movement during the process. Encountering the frightening stone gate blocking the way, there was only the seemingly endless extension of the tomb passage. Its extension was astonishingly wide. Even the cat-eye flashlight with excellent light concentration could not reach the end. After a while, everyone began to get tired. Breathing became more and more rapid, but just when some people were gradually out of breath, the crowd came to the end of the tomb passage!
Representing the end are the doors standing side by side on three sides.
Looking ahead with the help of a flashlight, I saw three doors appearing on the opposite side. Notice that the door in front of me is no longer a stone door, but a solid wooden door. Perhaps it is made of some special wood. After a thousand years, the door actually looks better. It has not completely decayed, and it still maintains its basic appearance. Seeing this, everyone was startled at first, and hurriedly rushed closer to take a closer look. When they took a closer look, they discovered that the wooden door was not exactly the same as before, but was covered with cracks over time. The middle and right The wooden door on the side remained closed, but there was a gap on the left. Seeing that one of the doors was ajar, Peng Hu was overjoyed. He was about to reach out to pull the door, but was stopped by Cheng Ying and Chen Xiaoyao at the same time, and then Cheng Ying moved sideways. He held up a flashlight beside the door and used the gap to shine a beam of light into the door. .
Looking inside through the light, it was empty. There was nothing inside except the dusty ground. After observing carefully for a moment, Cheng Ying raised her heart and exerted strength on her arms.
Cluck, cluck.
The rotten wooden door that had not been moved for thousands of years made a harsh sound under the gentle push of the arm, and then echoed in the dead silence and oppressive underground dark tomb. Everyone who heard it felt hairy in their hearts, and as soon as the door was opened, countless flashlight beams shone directly into the room. ,result……
No, there is still nothing. No matter how the flashlight turns, there are only a few round stone pillars for support. And it is worth mentioning that the space in the room is very large. The actual area is equivalent to the sum of two basketball courts. Thanks to The cat's eye flashlight has excellent focus, otherwise it would be difficult to see the size of the room clearly. Seeing this, everyone was surprised. They did not expect that there was such a large room inside this seemingly ordinary door. No, this is not a room, but a hall. in addition……
Since the room on the right is quite large, there is basically no need to check the two adjacent rooms.
He Fei thought so, and Abdullah thought so too. However, for the sake of safety, everyone opened the two doors next to them one after another. The result was exactly as expected. Under the erosion of time Next, the two seemingly closed doors were easily opened, and the interior was still the empty hall that I had just seen. The doors on three sides connected the same room. Seeing this, Peng Hu couldn't help but murmured: "Isn't this an idiotic act? ? The connected rooms are all one, but you also deliberately installed three doors? Damn it! This is simply sick!"
"Hey, Baldhead, what are you muttering about? Why don't you hurry up and follow?"
Cheng Ying suddenly came back to her senses after hearing this, and realized that the crowd had already entered the room. When Peng Huyi hurriedly came to the room, he saw that it was indeed empty inside, with only seven or eight supporting pillars scattered throughout the hall. , if a tomb robber comes here, he will probably be so angry that he vomits blood. After all the hard work, there is no treasure inside, and there is not even a single burial object. The executor, who is never short of money, doesn't care about this and just comes. Looking around the hall, Chen Xiaoyao had made it clear that the Tang Dynasty tombs had always been very large. If this was the case, then this hall was definitely not the center of the tomb, and definitely not the real underground palace. That was true, but the problem was... …
Everyone ran around and searched for a long time, but they saw that there was no door inside, and there were walls in all four directions. There was no entrance or exit to continue moving forward, or in other words, the hall in front of them was the end, the final area of this tomb.
"This, is this the underground palace? The space is quite large, but why is there nothing?" As a foreigner, and after searching for a long time and finding nothing, Abdullah was dumbfounded. Masters Avis and Haller were beside him. The others all looked puzzled. In fact, not only were they dumbfounded and puzzled, but He Fei and other members of the Shenzhou team also collectively looked surprised.
As soon as Abdullah finished speaking, Li Tianheng stared and echoed: "Yes, why is there nothing? If this is really the underground palace of Wu Zetian's mausoleum, even if there are no burial objects, there must be a coffin at least, right?"
After Li Tianheng finished speaking, Tang Meng nodded and said: "Yes, although I have no research on ancient tombs, I at least know that there must be coffins in any tomb. Now that this place is completely empty, how can I find the soul-fixing beads?" ?”.
"There are no soul-fixing beads here, and there is nothing that can attract people's attention." As soon as Tang Meng finished speaking, Cheng Ying, who had just finished walking around the hall, directly reported the search results. Hearing this, He Fei couldn't help but panic in his heart. Looking at Zhao Ping beside him, he saw that the man with glasses also had a confused expression. Obviously, there was a big difference from when he was performing tasks on the ground in the past. Since he came to the underground tomb, all the usually smart executors have collectively turned into fools. , not only Peng Hu and others were at a loss throughout the whole process, but even He Fei and Zhao Ping, who had the highest IQ, basically lost their former wisdom. The reason? The reason is very simple, that is because they are not experts in tomb robbing, they have absolutely zero understanding of Diling, and they have never studied ancient tombs. It is precisely because of this that the two of them are at a loss and are completely different from the smart and wise people they used to be. People, especially after learning that there was nothing here, even though the two of them had ideas, they actually had no choice and didn't know what to do.
At this moment, seeing that there was nothing in the hall, and seeing that He Fei and Zhao Ping were all mute, Peng Hu suddenly thought of something, hurriedly patted his head and said: "By the way, I heard that in order to prevent people from robbing their tombs, ancient emperors sometimes would They specialize in making fake tombs to deceive tomb robbers. They look like mausoleums on the surface, but actually there is nothing inside.”
At this point, the bald man pointed to the ground and continued: "Isn't this a fake tomb?"
Fake tomb! ?
When Peng Hu said it was a fake tomb, the scene immediately exploded. Everyone who had been thinking about it just now was all startled. Even He Fei's heart skipped a beat. Fortunately, not everyone was like this. Seeing Peng Hu's suspicion The authenticity of the Di Tomb did not wait for others to discuss it. Chen Xiaoyao, who had been observing the hall, immediately answered, nodded to Peng Hu and said: "Brother Peng, you are right. In order to prevent tomb robbers from visiting the mausoleum, there are indeed many princes and nobles in history. Fake tombs have been made. Emperor Wu of the Cao Wei Dynasty made a large number of fake tombs before his death. After his death, 72 coffins left the city at the same time. Some of the coffins were indeed sent into the fake tombs prepared in advance. The purpose was to deceive others. Confusing the world, but..."
There was a slight pause in the middle of the words, and then he changed the subject. At the same time, he pointed at the ground like Peng Hu and continued: "It's different here. Even though Wu Zetian also made a fake tomb that can hide people's ears, this is 100% the real tomb, and it is definitely Wu Zetian's burial. Place of corpses, because the curse will not deceive us!"
The words woke up the dreamer. After listening to Chen Xiaoyao's words, everyone suddenly realized, yes, even if Wu Zetian had made a fake tomb to confuse the world before her death, the curse would not lie. Although the curse is often in the mission Hidden traps were hidden to entrap the executor, but he never actually told a lie, and the mission goal clearly told the executor that Juling Mountain was where Wu Zetian’s secret mausoleum was located. Now everyone’s location is exactly Juling Mountain. Since the location is correct, then what is in front of us is This tomb cannot be a fake tomb!
After thinking about this, everyone who was in a panic just now calmed down again, but...
After scratching his head and glancing at the completely enclosed hall around him, Li Tianheng still questioned as expected: "Okay, even if this is Wu Zetian's real tomb, why..."
Li Tianheng didn't finish what he said later, but the specific meaning was already clear, so it was natural that after Li Tianheng, other people also turned their attention to Chen Xiaoyao. The meaning is self-evident, that is, since your surname is Chen, here is really the place to kill. Ling, what's going on in front of you?
He Fei didn't know exactly what was going on, and others didn't know either, so they could only place their hopes on this talented Taoist priest from Maoshan. Sure enough, when everyone looked at him, Chen Xiaoyao smiled mysteriously, So he continued unhurriedly: "I'm just a poor person. Although I have never done tomb robbing, it doesn't mean I don't understand it. When my master taught me Feng Shui skills, he talked about the topic of ghost houses. The graveyard naturally refers to the tomb after death, but the tombs of princes and nobles are very different from those of ordinary people. As the saying goes, Taoists are always greedy, and they still hope to retain the glory and wealth they enjoyed during their lifetime, so the tombs of princes and nobles are often large in size. Larger, in addition to the afterlife tombs imitating those during life, a large number of expensive gold and silver jewels are also used as burial objects. However, the greedy desires of these princes and nobles directly led to the birth of the tomb robbing business."
"Tomb robbers have been around since ancient times. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there had been tomb robbers who specialized in digging graves, and there were many sects. In order to obtain the gold and silver treasures in the tombs, the tomb robbers had nothing to do but to protect themselves. The wealth and the corpse will not be insulted after death. The tomb owner also tries his best to deal with it. There are many ways to deal with it. Most of them are to set up mechanisms in the tomb to make it impossible for the tomb robbers to come back. The smarter ones will Fake tombs are arranged in advance before death to confuse tomb robbers, but in fact, whether they are traps or hidden fake tombs, these are all superficial means. Really clever tomb owners often have falsehoods within reality and reality within falsehoods. "
There is emptiness in truth, and reality in emptiness?
