In Liangshan, Li Xingyun, Lu Linxuan, Wen Tao, Shangguan Yunque, Zhu Youwen, Chang Xuanling and Chang Haoling gathered in front of the wordless monument.
As an imperial mausoleum, and an imperial mausoleum during the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Qianling Mausoleum is actually not very hidden.
There are three peaks in Liangshan Mountain, with the North Peak being the highest, the Sui River surrounding it to the east, and the Desert River surrounding it to the west. Qianling Xuan Palace is located on the North Peak.
The reason why Wen Tao said that the Qianling Mausoleum is difficult to find is actually the entrance to the tomb passage of the Qianling Mausoleum, not the entire tomb.
The Qianling Mausoleum is built on a mountain. It can be said that the entire northern peak of Liangshan Mountain is the Qianling Mausoleum.
That is to say, now that the Tang Dynasty has collapsed, in the past, there were still tomb guards in Qianling Xuan Palace. It would be absolutely impossible for them to gather around the wordless monument to find the entrance to the tomb passage like they do now. of.
"Wen Tao, have you found it? My patience is limited!"
Seeing Wen Tao circle around the wordless monument, Zhu Youwen, who had been waiting for a long time, was a little impatient.
In fact, except for martial arts training, Zhu Youwen basically has no patience for other things, and he rarely shows patience.
"Give me a little more time, I think it will be soon."
Wen Tao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and focused his gaze on the base of the wordless monument.
This is not the first time Zhu Youwen has urged. To be honest, the many urgings from the Ghost King of Xuanming Sect are indeed very stressful for Wen Tao.
Although he knew that Zhu Youwen would not do anything to him even if he could not find the entrance to the Qianling Mausoleum, the power that Zhu Youwen radiated intentionally or unintentionally would always make him subconsciously nervous.
Not only Wen Tao, but also Li Xingyun, Lu Linxuan and Shangguan Yunque also had similar feelings, but their strength was stronger than Wen Tao's, but they were not as serious as Wen Tao.
That is to say, Chang Xuanling and Chang Haoling were once Zhu Youwen's disciples, and now they also practiced the first half of the "Nine Nether Xuantian Divine Art". With the strength above the middle heaven position and close to the great heaven position, they basically ignored Zhu Youwen. of power.
After groping almost the entire wordless stele, Wen Tao finally located an inconspicuous hole on the base of the wordless stele, but he was not sure whether it would be a mechanism to open the entrance to the tomb passage.
The wordless monument, which has experienced hundreds of years of wind and frost, has no major damage, but there are many small holes, hundreds of them.
The reason why this place is locked is purely because this small hole is exceptionally round. To find out more specifically, we still need to investigate the internal structure of the small hole.
"Is there a silver needle?"
Wen Tao lay on the ground and looked at the small hole. However, it was already late and the sun had already set. There was only a crescent moon hanging high in the sky. The moonlight shining on the ground was really limited in brightness. Wen Tao looked at it. For a while, it was so dark that I couldn't see clearly what was going on inside.
"have!"
Li Xingyun was overjoyed when he heard that Wen Tao asked for silver needles. It seemed that Wen Tao had found a clue. He immediately took out a pack of silver needles from the hidden compartment of his belt and handed it to Wen Tao.
Wen Tao took the needle bag, pulled out a silver needle, lay down on the ground again, and studied the small hole.
Zhu Youwen curled his lips disdainfully, "As for me, I can just blow it up with gunpowder. Why do you need so much trouble?"
"No, Qianling Mausoleum is the resting place of Emperor Gaozong. It would be a great sin for me to disturb him. How can we do anything wrong?"
Although Li Xingyun is not very interested in his own bloodline, this is the tomb of his ancestors after all.
He didn't dare to make excessive guarantees about whether he could revive the Tang Dynasty. He could only say that he would try his best. Even if he failed, his ancestors would not blame him. After all, so many of his ancestors should be lining up to be scolded. It's not his turn.
But if Qianling was really blown up with gunpowder, I'm afraid that under the Nine Springs, Mrs. Gaozong would take him out alone to educate him.
"The trap was found!"
After using a silver needle to explore the internal structure of the small hole, Wen Tao finally determined that this was the activation mechanism.
"Really?"
Li Xingyun was the first to react. He came to Wen Tao's side and squatted down, looking at the small hole that Wen Tao had individually marked.
"Yes, but it seems there is no key to activate the mechanism!"
Wen Tao stood up slightly, changed from lying down to squatting, inserted the silver needle back into the needle bag, and returned the needle bag to Li Xingyun.
It was at this moment when he looked up that Wen Tao suddenly saw that the jade pendant necklace around Li Xingyun's neck was emitting faint fluorescence.
Could it be...
"Your Highness, where did that thing on your neck come from?"
Feeling Wen Tao's gaze, Li Xingyun lowered his head and looked at the jade pendant necklace around his neck, "This, this was left to me by my father back then. Hey, why is it still shining?"
Noticing the inexplicable glow of the necklace, Li Xingyun looked seriously at the hole marked by Wen Tao.
"You mean..."
"Give me!"
Upon hearing that the necklace came from Li Xingyun's father, Wen Tao's eyes suddenly flashed with joy and his tone became very firm.
Li Xingyun, who also had the same guess, did not hesitate, took off the necklace and handed it to Wen Tao's hands.
Wen Tao didn't waste any time and took the necklace. After thinking about it for a while, he took out the Bagua Star Compass from his waist, cut off the necklace rope, and inserted one end of the jade pendant into the hole.
"Kacha!"
The slight movement caused by inserting the jade pendant did not escape Wen Tao's ears. Now he was sure that the jade pendant was the key to opening the mechanism.
After trying it for a while, he twisted the jade pendant, and suddenly the entire wordless monument and the ground began to shake.
Li Xingyun and Wen Tao quickly stood up and stepped away. Zhu Youwen and others immediately noticed the movement and looked over.
I saw that the wordless monument, which weighed at least several thousand kilograms and was extremely tall, began to move slowly.
Although it was slow, the passage underneath was slowly revealed.
"Finally found!"
Wen Tao stared at the opened passage with burning eyes, and there was unconcealable excitement in his words.
Back then, Huang Chao used an army of 400,000 to steal the Qianling Mausoleum. He dug a deep trench of nearly 15 feet and failed to find the tomb passage. Now he has found it.
Although it took a lot of effort to find it, it was still a major challenge for Wen Tao personally.
"Is this the entrance to the tomb passage?"
Zhu Youwen didn't know when he came to Li Xingyun and Wen Tao quietly.
Glancing at the dark passage, Zhu Youwen didn't wait for Wen Tao to answer, and walked in first with his hands behind his back, "Let's go, now that you've found it, don't hesitate anymore, I will take the lead!"
Although Zhu Youwen has already blazed his own path in the Great Heavenly Throne, the peerless magical skills in the Longquan Treasures still have an extraordinary appeal to him.
Otherwise, how could he, the dignified Ghost King of Xuanming Cult, escort Li Xingyun?
Feeling the eyes of the rest of the people on him, Li Xingyun nodded helplessly, "Let's go in, too!"
