During this period, the four of us stood aside, preparing to enter the tomb at any time.
"Dig it out!"
At this moment, a worker suddenly shouted loudly.
I quickly ran over, and sure enough I saw a treasure roof exposed in the nearly two-meter-deep hole that the workers had just excavated.
"Captain Liu, I leave it to you."
I immediately patted Liu Xiangbei on the shoulder and said to him.
Today, Liu Xiangbei has brought the entire elite of the archaeological team, and they are fully equipped. Naturally, there is no need for me to take action.
Liu Xiangbei nodded and quickly began to study the passage into the tomb with a group of team members. After a while, a passage that could accommodate one person was opened.
"Captain Liu, Captain Gao, thank you for your hard work."
I cupped my hands to Liu Xiangbei and Gao Yunlu and said, "Don't go in this time. We will notify you soon after we complete the exploration."
"Okay, it's all up to Mr. Cheng!"
The two said quickly.
I nodded, then called Lonnie and Bai Ze, quietly, and got in through the entrance of the tomb.
The interior of this tomb is small and square, with a black coffin in the middle. In other respects, it is similar to the tombs discovered before. There is no difference.
After confirming that there was nothing abnormal around, Lonnie and I stood on one side of the coffin, while Bai Ze and Jing Jing stood on the other side, and the four of us pressed hard at the same time.
With a loud sound, we slowly pushed the coffin lid open, revealing the scene inside.
Originally, I thought that this coffin would be like other tombs, with a female corpse inside, and a pearl in the mouth of the female corpse.
But when I saw the scene inside the coffin, I couldn't help but be stunned.
This coffin is empty. Where is the female corpse?
Just on the wall of the coffin, there was a palm-sized black butterfly. It was unknown how long it had been in the coffin.
The moment we opened the coffin, the black butterfly flapped its wings and disappeared in an instant.
"Huh? Where did that butterfly fly just now?"
I said with confusion on my face, but Lonnie and others shook their heads at the same time, indicating that they did not see it.
The few of us were standing around the coffin just now. If the butterfly were to fly outside, we would not have noticed it.
The butterfly couldn't disappear out of thin air, and it didn't fly outside. There was only one possibility: it flew into the coffin!
My heart moved, and I quickly laid my head down and looked at the bottom of the coffin. Only then did I see that the inside of the coffin was dark and extended to unknown depths. It was frightening to see.
There is actually a hole under the coffin!
"What's happening here?"
Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
I previously believed that as long as I found the bead in the coffin, I could destroy the Five Elements Formation, but now I found a black hole in the coffin. What does this mean?
"If I guessed correctly, this should be the third entrance to the dragon vein."
Lonnie dragged her chin and thought for a while, then suddenly spoke.
"Ni, what do you mean?"
Bai Ze, Jing Jing and I cast doubtful glances at Lonnie at the same time.
"The five elements all flow into each other. This is in line with the laws of heaven and earth. It is difficult for even ghosts and gods to balance the power between them. But if the formation eye is set at the entrance of the dragon vein, it will be different."
Lonnie explained: "Dragon Vein was the earliest symbol of imperial power and the emperor. It was the natural foothold of imperial power. It was called Jueyin Fengmu - Jin Tai."
"Jin Tai is a ruler sent by God. He is the natural core area of the entire China. He naturally has the power to balance the five elements."
After listening to Lonnie's explanation, I finally understood. At the same time, I had to admire the skill of the person behind the scenes.
The person behind the scenes set the dragon vein entrance as the eye of the Five Elements Formation, which can not only balance the power of the five elements and make the entire array more stable, but also hide the breath of the dragon vein entrance. No wonder even Mr. Hu San can't observe the dragon vein. The third entrance.
"Since it is the third entrance, there is nothing to say. We can only go back and return to the master after entering it and finding the third treasure."
Finding the entrance to the third dragon vein was originally our goal. Naturally, Lonnie and others had no objection. After looking at each other, I took the lead in climbing up the coffin board, jumped into the coffin, and jumped in.
Suddenly, there was a turbulence in front of my eyes, and I felt myself falling vertically, falling towards the depths of the black hole.
I don't know how long it took, but I felt a pain in my feet, so I quickly used my hands to support the ground, so I didn't fall to the ground.
With several consecutive popping sounds, Lonnie and others also fell down. They stood up one by one in disgrace, and together with me, we began to look around curiously.
The place where we stood was a desert, surrounded by darkness, lightning and thunder, and strong winds rolling up bursts of gravel that hurt my ears. I felt as if I was in the end of the world.
"Look, what is there?"
At this moment, Jingjing suddenly pointed not far away and said.
I followed Jingjing's direction, and sure enough, I saw a huge thing standing proudly in the desert a few hundred meters away from us.
Just then, a bolt of lightning struck down and illuminated the entire night sky. Only then did I see clearly that the huge thing was a magnificent castle!
"Let's go in and take a look!"
I raised one hand and led a few people towards the castle.
In the middle of the castle is a stone door. With a push, the stone door opened and we walked in.
Inside the castle is a large hall, with candles burning in the niches hanging on the walls, the golden dome, and the white marble floor, all giving off a majestic and eerie atmosphere.
On both sides of the main hall, there are six stone statues standing on each side. They are all carved from black marble. Each of them has teeth and claws, and their faces are hateful.
These twelve stone statues look like some kind of spirit, but upon closer inspection, I can't tell what kind of spirit they are.
"Isn't this the legendary Twelve Evil Ghosts?"
Jingjing, who was also staring at the stone statue, suddenly said in surprise.
"Jingjing, do you know the origin of these things?"
Bai Ze asked quickly.
"Well, I once heard from the great elder in the Wizarding Group that during the barbaric period, there were twelve ferocious beasts, namely Jiazuo, Xiongqi, Lanzhu, Qiangliang, Zuming, Weisui, Cuoduan, Qiongqi, Tengen, and Jingwei!”
"These twelve ferocious beasts are all powerful and do all kinds of evil. In the wilderness period, they preyed on living humans. Even the Yellow Emperor couldn't do anything to them. I didn't expect to see the stone statues of these ferocious beasts here again today."
Listening to Quiet's narration, I suddenly remembered that at the first entrance of Dragon Vein, I had seen twelve stone statues in the underground palace.
