Chapter 399: Crossing the Knife Mountain
I kept fanning my ears to catch the source of the sound, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, which emperor are you talking about, Yongzheng?"
"Bold!" Han Lei said angrily, "Call the holy name, there is a great crime of disrespect, you should be beheaded!"
I shifted my footsteps and said, "Okay, you come out and kill me." β
Han Lei said coldly: "Whoever takes the head of this person and makes meritorious service for his crimes, the emperor can pardon the capital crimes as appropriate." β
"Hahaha......" I laughed, "according to the Law of the Great Qing Dynasty, stealing graves and digging graves is a decisive decision." Our private entry into the imperial tomb is another crime of rebellion, and in your eyes it is a heinous crime. Will your emperor pardon your crimes? Who are you fooling?"
"Ten heinous crimes" refers to the ten unpardonable crimes in ancient times, even if the emperor amnesties the world, the sentence will not be reduced. "Seeking great rebellion" is one of them. In the eyes of ancient emperors, destroying royal tombs, palaces, and temples was second only to rebellion. Therefore, "plotting great rebellion" is also listed as the second heinous article.
Han Lei said in a deep voice: "It stands to reason that those who seek great rebellion should be killed......
"Get out of here!" Han Lei hadn't finished speaking, and I had already raised my gun in a roar and struck diagonally at the roof of the canopy in the distance. The moment the bullet lifted the roof of the shed, Han Lei's voice also stopped abruptly.
When I stood up with my gun, Han Lei's voice sounded again: "Those who enter this tomb should be beheaded." However, the emperor's grace is vast, and he specially ordered the thieves to forgive their sins. Whoever punishes a thief shall be pardoned for capital crimes. β
"Those who punish two thieves can be incorporated into the forbidden army. β
"Those who punish the three thieves can accompany the king. β
"Chin thisβ"
This time, Han Lei's voice changed direction, and I couldn't find his hiding place for a while. The other party said quickly: "In order to show the emperor's grace, the emperor has waited for this knife mountain." After crossing the mountain, it is time for you to wait for the thief to make meritorious contributions, and you must not make mistakes. β
After Han Lei's voice paused, he raised again: "When crossing the mountain, don't struggle. If you mistake your life, don't blame the miscellaneous family for being unpredictable. β
I turned around several times in a row in the direction from which the voice came, but Han Lei's voice moved rapidly every time I turned around, not giving me the slightest chance to capture the other party's position.
In just a dozen seconds, I changed six or seven directions in a row, but Han Lei's voice suddenly disappeared.
I raised my gun and looked around, but suddenly there was a sound of the mechanism opening overhead. By the time I looked up, there were ten gaps in the ceiling of the tombway, and ropes connected to iron claws flew down from the roof. Ye Xun and I waved our knives and pushed aside the iron claws and retreated a few steps in a row before we stood in the rope like a weeping willow.
The people of the archaeological team were caught off guard by the iron claws of the trap and hit them continuously. The iron claws that were originally five fingers angry immediately locked the claw blades after touching the human body, and the sharp nails instantly pierced into the body of the team members, and the blood flowed. The sound of screams and cries in the crowd rose and fell, and the iron claws that held the students suddenly retracted from the roof of the shed, dragging them into the air.
I looked up to the sky, and the ropeway on the ceiling began to rotate slowly, and I slowly moved towards the knife mountain with the team members who were hoisted. The blood of several team members spilled all the way, and the screams were endless. The team members had already shouted and changed, but the iron claws hanging from them stopped above the knife mountain, and the tip of the knife with blue light was almost under the feet of several people.
From my vantage point, it was obvious that the toe of the man who hit the head was about two inches from the blade. But looking down from his point of view, whether it is the psychological effect or the visual difference, he will feel that the tip of the knife is about to be close to the soles of his feet.
Even instinctively, he had to desperately shrink his legs upwards, almost curling his body into a ball. The iron claws on his shoulders suddenly snapped open their fingertips, and five bloody claw blades surged in the air, and the man fell to the top of the Knife Mountain without accident. The bone-piercing roar of the steel knife and the red blood burst out at the same time, and the few team members who were still hanging in the air were scattered, screaming and kicking desperately, as if this was the only way to make them feel that they could stay away from the knife mountain.
Ye Xun suddenly mobilized his internal force and shouted: "Don't move, the more you struggle, the faster the iron claws will open." Don't move, let Iron Claw lead you. β
Ye Xun's voice shook my eardrums, and the screams in the tomb were also suppressed. The moment the girl hanging in the air tentatively lowered her feet, she grabbed her iron claws and sank down sharply, lowering her feet to the tip of the knife.
The other party was screaming and was about to struggle, but he suddenly took out two steel balls and raised his hand to hit the other party's leg. The moment the steel ball bounced off the opponent's legs, her legs also hung limply to the ground.
The steel claws stuck on the other party's body shook slightly, and the girl's toes slid against the blade. I watched as the razor-sharp blade cut through the tip of the other's shoe and slowly passed in front of her feet. A bead of blood slowly rolled down the blood groove on the long knife, and the girl was also led by the steel claw to the back of the knife mountain.
The other party kept sliding two or three meters away before the steel claws suddenly collapsed, and the girl also fell to the ground with screams. The iron claws, still dripping with blood, slowly turned back under the impetus of the mechanism.
I said in a deep voice, "Those iron claws will release as long as they struggle desperately, and those who go up don't move, just follow them." β
Professor Zhang asked with a pale face, "Is this ...... Is this going to work?"
"If it doesn't work, I'll have to try. I said in a deep voice, "We can't bring that many people. Moreover, the tomb in front of the knife mountain will soon collapse, and if you don't leave, the agency will force you to go. β
The loess in the graveyard seemed to verify what I said, and it began to crumble soon after I spoke. Professor Zhang and the others didn't dare to hesitate any longer, so they could only reach under the iron claws and let the iron claws grasp their bodies and carry them into the air.
Lu Xinyao looked at me and said, "What should we do?"
Being hung in the air by an iron claw is a deadly danger for anyone, and if the rope breaks or the trap blows up, we will inevitably be suspended in the air for the other party to slaughter.
However, if we don't get on the rope, we have to fall into the so-called "Lethe River". No one would think there is a good place to go under the river.
As I looked down and pondered, the crumbling loess avenue collapsed straight to the soles of my feet. The sound of the loess falling into the water is like a drumbeat on the Dharma field, thumping impermeably, non-stop, making people's hearts beat.
My mind was spinning and I shouted, "Follow the rope, and don't come with me." β
As soon as I finished speaking, a harrier turned over, jumped backwards in the direction of Daoshan, and after turning half a circle in the air, it once again kept its original direction and fell into the "Lechuan River".
"Wang Huan......" The bean donkey was so frightened that he wanted to chase after him, but was blocked by Ye Xun with a palm: "Listen to Wang Huan, go quickly!"
At that time, although I could hear Ye Xun's conversation, I didn't know what was going on above.
After I fell into the water, I was swept forward two or three meters away by the force of the current.
Not only is the water rushing in the "Lethe River", but it is also pitch black like ink, and even with my eyesight, I can't see far.
After I managed to stabilize myself in the water, the first thing I did was to get closer to the wall of the tomb with all my might, but I was not too far away from the wall, and after being pushed twice by the current, I finally caught the wall.
As I walked along the wall, the Terrifying Powers began to work wildly.
The fox mother told me: The earth listening magic power is actually the secret of the god hand Wen Shizong's "Di Hearing Technique", and the earth listening magic power is very similar to the first layer of "Di Hearing Technique" "Thousands of Miles from the Earth".
I didn't get the complete "Ghost Pupil Technique", and the fox mother only got a small half of the "Listening Technique", so she was famous for her ear skills in the hands of Tanshen. As for how she got Wen Shizong's secret technique, she didn't tell me.
However, I was forced by her to refine the first three layers of "Listening Technique".
What I use in the water is the "peeling off the cocoon" in "Di Tingshu". This secret technique is practiced to the extreme, and you can distinguish what you want to hear from hundreds of sounds.
Even if it's a group of people talking around you, you can hear exactly what the target is saying.
Although the water roared in my ears, I could clearly hear the sound of a mechanism turning in the distance.
I was slowly approaching the sound when the water rushing towards me suddenly accelerated. When the violent impact came down on me, I was caught off guard and rushed forward two steps in a row.
Anyone who has crossed the river knows that when the water is urgent, you must not follow the water, and you will no longer be able to hold your feet if you are swept away by the water, and you may not be able to stand up if you want to stand up.
I just relied on the "jack fall" kung fu to stick my feet to the bottom of the water, so I didn't go with the flow, and now the water has broken the strength of my feet, and I can't stop if I want to. After only three steps, I heard the sound of water in front of me.
There was a sound of a knife breaking through the water, and the further I moved, the clearer it became, and in just three steps, it was like the howl of a ghost, rushing in my ears.
Knives in the water?
My first instinct was that there was a murderous motive ahead. Even if there is no point of a knife facing the current, there should be something like a spear stuck in it, otherwise, there will be no sound of the river rushing through the blade.
I knew I couldn't walk anymore, but my feet were still moving forward under the impetus of the current.
In the nick of time, I pulled out the contempt from my body and stabbed myself in the side with all my might. The blade, which was more than three feet long, sank into the wall in an instant, and I forced myself to stand in the water with my hand on the hilt.
As soon as I stopped, my body moved forward involuntarily under the impetus of the current, and it was precisely because of this distance that I almost died.
For a split second, I could clearly feel something piercing my forehead.
