When Ji Xiaofan saw Zeng Xian's posture, he was taken aback and said, "Uncle Zeng, you shouldn't be going into the cave like this, right?" ”

Zeng Xian looked for a thick pine tree, tied the rope to it, and then tied one end to his body, and said with a relaxed smile: "Don't look at this rope is not as thick as the rope on the bridge, but it is very strong, when our ancestors were collecting medicine in the mountains, they used this rope to climb the cliff, and there was never a problem." ”

Saying this, he tried to see if the rope was tied strongly, and then asked Zhao Zhuo to pull the rope, and then walked to the raised stone, and then took a big step over the cliff, stepped in front of the mouth of the cave, reached out and grabbed the stone on the top of the cave, and then stepped on it with the other foot.

This action seems easy and easy to do on flat ground, but it requires extraordinary courage to do on a cliff.

So during the whole process, everyone was scared, and their hearts hung in their throats, until they saw him safely enter the cave, and they were relieved.

Zeng Xian untied the rope from his waist and said, "You see, it's actually very simple. ”

Zhao Zhuo took the rope he threw and tied it around his waist, Jing Yao said worriedly: "You really want to go over?" ”

Zhao Zhuo smiled lightly: "This rope is indeed quite strong, and now Uncle Zeng can pick up people at the entrance of the cave, and the security surname is very high, I'll try it in the past." ”

Although Zhao Zhuo had never done such a dangerous thing, but the courage he had exercised after experiencing too many things was already much higher than that ordinary people did not know, he walked to the protruding horizontal stone, without the slightest fear in his heart, Zeng Xian made a greeting appearance at the entrance of the cave, waiting for Zhao Zhuo to jump over.

Ji Xiaofan took a deep breath and held the rope in the middle, in case Zhao Zhuo fell, then he had to be pulled back.

It's just that as soon as this thought was over, Zhao Zhuo had already jumped over and landed at the entrance of the cave very easily.

Everyone was still a little nervous just now, but now that they saw Zhao Zhuo successfully jumping over, they couldn't help but feel a little confident. After all, it took so much effort to find the entrance to the treasure, and if you just gave up, wouldn't you regret it.

Fortunately, Cui Shiyan and the others were also very bold people, so after a little consideration, they all leaned on the rope and walked into the hole.

Jing Yao also got bold, took off her shoes, threw them at the entrance of the hole first, and then stepped over, because she had less strength, this span was almost about to fall, but fortunately, Zhao Zhuoyi reached out and grabbed her, and then she got out of danger.

The entrance of the cave is large enough to stand three people side by side, squatting on the ground to look, you can clearly see that there are traces of things dragging on the ground, and there are obvious traces of artificial carving on the two walls of the cave.

When they came to the cave, everyone felt a little more at ease, and after adjusting their mood, they turned on the flashlight and walked towards the cave.

It's winter, the cave is quite dry, and it's well ventilated, so you can feel the sound of the wind passing through your ears when you walk in.

The cave is obviously a natural formation, but it has been artificially carved in the later period, especially the ground appears quite flat, and its direction extends mainly to the west, that is, the interior of the mountain, and the terrain gradually goes down, as if walking down the mountain.

After walking for a while, Zhao Zhuo's eyes were suddenly attracted by something on the ground, and he immediately stopped and squatted down, picked up the thing and took a look, this is a two-finger-long piece of bamboo, no more than 1cm thick, and it is very smooth, and the most surprising thing is that the bamboo piece has been drilled out of a hole.

When everyone saw Zhao Zhuo stop, he seemed to be holding something in his hand, and hurriedly walked over to look at it, Ji Yuan said excitedly: "This is a piece of bamboo used to make armor." ”

Everyone suddenly realized that in ancient China, armor was mainly made of cowhide and bamboo, and metal was only used in key parts.

Even during the Qing Dynasty, bamboo armor was very popular, because the material was very easy to find and durable, and a knife cut only left a trace, and it would not cause much harm to people.

Since there are bamboo chips here, it means that there must have been soldiers here, and everyone suddenly became more confident that this is where the treasure is located.

The crowd groped forward step by step, and when they reached a bend, the road ahead was rarely straightened, leading to the deeper part of the secluded forest.

Zeng Xian was about to walk forward, but Zhao Zhuo suddenly caught a glimpse of something on the wall, and hurriedly shouted, "Uncle Zeng, wait a minute." ”

Zeng Xian stopped immediately, Zhao Zhuo hurried to his side, picked up the flashlight and shone it on the stone wall, only to see that there were many small holes on the stone wall, and these small holes were obviously artificially made.

Everyone found the small hole on the wall, and they all looked suspicious, not knowing what the purpose of this small hole was, but Mo Ling suddenly said: "Big brother, this may be an arrow hole." ”

"Arrow holes?" Zhao Zhuo was puzzled.

Mo Ling said: "I have been collected by a minister in charge of building the imperial tomb before, so I am very familiar with the mausoleum mechanism and the like, if I guess correctly, these arrow holes are buried with crossbow arrows, and once someone passes by, they will vibrate into their arrow holes and shoot arrows." ”

Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but sigh when he heard it, he found a piece of gravel on the ground, and smashed it the ground, the moment the stone landed, he seemed to hear the sound of a bowstring jumping, and then he saw four or five arrows drill out of the arrow hole and pierced deeply into the opposite wall.

Although the bright arrows were short, the strength was obviously very strong, otherwise it would never have been possible to get into the stone wall.

Everyone suddenly trembled, and Zeng Xian even broke out in a bunch of cold sweat on his forehead, if Zhao Zhuo hadn't shouted to him just now, wouldn't he have been shot into a hole if he took another step forward.

He couldn't help but be a little panicked and said, "This ...... What kind of place is this, and how can there be a mechanism? ”

When things got to this point, Zhao Zhuo didn't hide it from him, so he gave him a rough explanation, and it was likely that there were treasures buried hundreds of years ago in this cave.

Saying this, Zeng Xian came to his senses, but said a little scared: "Then how do you get through this mechanism?" ”

Zhao Zhuo smiled, picked up a pile of stones from the ground and said: "What is buried in this wall on the left is a pile of crossbows, if you don't know, of course, you will inevitably encounter danger, but if you know, then it will be easy to deal with, as long as you let those arrows finish shooting, it doesn't matter." ”

As the stones were thrown, arrows shot out of the arrow holes, and after a while, the opposite stone wall was densely packed with arrows.

Jing Yaoqiao's face changed slightly, and she sighed lightly: "I didn't expect Shi Dakai to have such a play, and he took great pains to set up such a powerful mechanism here." ”

Cui Shiyan nodded, but said: "But in this way, it proves that this must be the location of the treasure, let's go and find out!" ”

Ji Yuan whiskered and said: "Yes, it's all come to this, how can you retreat?" ”

Zhao Zhuo threw another stone, and when he saw that there was no movement in the passage, he breathed a sigh of relief, and when he heard the conversation between several people, he said: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, since you are here, you should go in and explore, otherwise if the staff behind us are injured, we will not feel good." ”

Everyone nodded their heads, since they had found the treasures, they had the obligation to let them see again, and since they had come here, they had to dismantle them one by one.

Whether it is Ji Yuan or Cui Shiyan, several people are also well-informed, how can they not retreat because of the appearance of the mechanism, but because of such a thing, they have a curious mentality, and they all want to find out.

After making sure that there were no more arrows in the arrow hole, Zhao Zhuo tested it with his foot, and then walked over safely, and after passing the arrow hole, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued to walk forward.

The hole got deeper and deeper, the road became wider and wider, and some forks began to appear, but after careful analysis of which fork had heavy drag on the ground, everyone could easily tell which way to go.

When turning a corner, Zhao Zhuo suddenly stopped again, because there were actually stone slabs on the ground in front of him.

Everyone also immediately found the slate, and the flashlight shone along the slate in front of them, and found that there were slate as far as the eye could see.

Ji Xiaofan couldn't help but say excitedly: "Could this be the same as a mausoleum, we're almost there, right?" Because the treasure is coming, even the floor is paved. ”

Zhao Zhuo didn't think it was so simple, his eyes looked around, and then he heard Mo Ling's reminder, and when he raised his head, he suddenly saw stone balls hanging on the top of the stone cave.

These stone balls are no bigger than fists, but if they are hit, they will break their heads and bleed.

Seeing Zhao Zhuo looking up at the top of the stone cave, everyone followed his gaze and looked up, and they all secretly pinched a cold sweat at this look, only to feel that they had picked up another life.

Zhao Zhuo said secretly, Shi Dakai is worthy of being a general on the battlefield, and he is considered to be the strongest king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the battle at that time, if this cave is the place where he hides treasures, then it will definitely not be so easy for people to get it.

He looked up at the stones in the cavern, and then fell to the floor, and saw that each slab was facing a stone ball, but the slabs were slightly different, some boxy, some lacking a corner, and the two slabs were laid on top of each other.

Zhao Zhuo's heart moved, and he stepped on the first boxy stone slab with his foot, and suddenly, the stone ball on the top of the stone cave fell down all of a sudden.

Zhao Zhuo hurriedly took a step back and took the stone ball, as soon as the stone ball was in his hands, Zhao Zhuo also felt that it had a lot of weight, at least ten catties, so that if it was smashed on the head, it was enough to smash the head into flowers.
