Seeing the stone ball fall down, everyone was taken aback and exclaimed to be careful.

Zhao Zhuo picked up the stone ball and looked at it, and saw that there was a small hole hollowed out on the stone ball, and there were traces of being hooked by hard objects on the edge, and then looked up at the top of the cave, and found that there was also a small hole in the place where the stone ball was just now.

Zhao Zhuo thought for a moment, and then stepped on the notched stone slab again without hesitation, but the stone ball on it did not fall.

Zhao Zhuo immediately confirmed what he thought, one of the two stone slabs was safe, and as soon as this kind of notched stone slab walked up, it felt very solid and in close contact with the ground.

However, that kind of boxy stone slab, as soon as you step on it, you feel as if something is buried underneath, although this feeling is very subtle for ordinary people, but for Zhao Zhuo, who has a very keen five senses, it is very obvious.

In other words, there is a trap buried under the slab that hooks the stone ball, and once you step on it, the hook will be released, allowing the stone ball to fall down.

However, if you step on a slate with a missing corner without a mechanism, then it is naturally safe.

After Zhao Zhuo explained to everyone, everyone suddenly came to their senses, but it was like this, walking through the passage with the stone ball hanging on the top, still broke out in a cold sweat, although he knew that the stone ball would not fall down, but the string in his heart just couldn't let go.

It was only after they had crossed the road that everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and after a slight pause, they walked deeper into the passage.

After passing through the stone fairway, the road became wider and wider, and after about ten minutes, everyone suddenly found that the passage had come to an end, and there seemed to be a pothole that suddenly fell down.

Just when everyone thought it was a mechanism, they took a flashlight and shone it downward, and when they saw the situation below, they suddenly gasped one by one, and their hearts beat wildly.

More than ten meters below the passage that was suddenly broken is a huge pit, under the illumination of the flashlight, the pit is actually a tall stone figurine, although it is only a distant visual measurement, but it feels that the height of these stone figurines is almost as high as a real person, and the flashlight swept all the way, the whole pit is full of stone figurines, there are as many as one or two hundred.

Zhao Zhuo has naturally seen a lot of the world, but he can't help but be shocked when he sees such a formation, which is like unearthing the terracotta warriors and horses of Qin Shi Huang.

Cui Shiyan couldn't help but sigh and said, "These stone figurines alone can be called priceless things." ”

Ji Yuan also nodded and said: "Yes, although it is only a rough look, but such a large scale is really too rare, even if it is the imperial tombs of previous dynasties, no such thing has been found." ”

Ji Xiaofan said happily and with difficulty: "This place where the treasure is hidden has been found, but it is easy to go down and come up, but it is difficult." ”

Zeng Xian said: "The rope must find a place to tie it tightly, otherwise it is easy to drag the people above into the pit just by pulling it." ”

It's just that everyone has been looking around for a long time, and the stone walls here are all bare, even if there is a small piece of protrusion, it is impossible to use it to tie ropes.

After cracking two maps, and going through so many dangers, now the treasure is at the foot, and everyone will not stop saying anything, but even if they can go down where there is no rope, they can't come up again, which makes everyone very anxious for a while.

"Big brother, there's an iron ring here." Mo Ling, who was dangling on the side, said suddenly.

Zhao Zhuo was standing at the edge of the passage at this time, and there was a big pit one step outward, and when he heard Mo Ling's words, he hurriedly looked at the stone wall on the left, only to see that there was indeed an iron ring raised below the entrance of the passage.

The color of this iron ring is similar to the stone wall, if you don't pay attention to it, you really can't find it, and its location is quite hidden, after all, everyone is attracted by this stone warrior array, who has the time to look at the stone wall below.

Zhao Zhuo reached out and hooked out the iron ring and pulled it outside, this pull didn't matter, he actually pulled out a lot of ropes.

Ji Xiaofan was the closest, and when he saw Zhao Zhuo suddenly pulling out such a thing from below, he was very curious for a while, stretched out his hand to spread out a bunch of ropes, and then shouted in surprise: "It's a rope ladder!" ”

Seeing that Zhao Zhuo actually found the rope ladder, everyone was overjoyed, Zhao Zhuo pulled the rope ladder out of the iron ring, and then threw it under the pit, tried the strength of the rope, and then turned over and climbed down the rope ladder.

After landing safely, they screamed, and everyone had gone through a lot of difficulties at this time, and the fear in their hearts had long been covered by the excitement of finding the treasure, and they quickly climbed down one by one.

When he landed on the solid ground and pointed at a stone figurine in front of him, he was suddenly surprised by the magic workmanship.

Each of these stone figurines is the shape of an ancient warrior, although the facial expressions are not as varied as the terracotta warriors, and they are not dyed with any color, and the bamboo armor on the whole body also looks the same, however, the carving technique is quite exquisite, and the details on the body are also handled quite well, plus the vicissitudes of being buried for more than two hundred years, people can't help but be amazed.

Each stone figurine is about 1.7 meters long, neatly arranged in the stone pit, and there is a path that can accommodate one person in the middle of each one.

Everyone then found a path and walked inside, marveling at the majestic shape of the stone figurines, and at the same time anxious to know what kind of secrets were hidden behind the stone figurines.

After passing through the stone warrior array, a huge stone gate appeared in front of it, and a tall stone monument was erected on one side of the stone gate.

Zhao Zhuo pointed the flashlight to the stone tablet, and saw that it was densely engraved with words.

The text recorded on the stele is very clear, to the effect that after Shi Dakai led his troops to the vicinity of the Sty Mountains, he looked back at Tianjing, deeply uneasy about the events that had occurred in Tianjing, and even more worried about the future of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. It happened that his subordinates found a monkey cave halfway up the foggy mountain, and after drilling into it, they found that it was quite deep and wide, so Shi Dakai came up with the idea of hiding treasures, and hid all the treasures brought from Tianjing in this stone cave, and sent a special person to guard it, in case of defeat, it was good that someone would use the treasure to accumulate troops.

After reading all this, everyone couldn't help but sigh with emotion, Shi Dakai was the first fierce general in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, even if he was expelled by Tianjing, he led tens of thousands of his men to fight in various places, which gave the Qing army a headache.

It's just that people are not as good as heaven, and the march was blocked by the rising water of the Dadu River that had not been encountered in a hundred years, and finally the grain and grass were exhausted and captured, and more than 2,000 of his henchmen were all killed.

Later, coupled with the death of Yuan De, this treasure can be buried to this day.

In the sighs of everyone, they fell on this stone gate again, the stone gate is two or three meters high, it looks very heavy, Ji Xiaofan pushed the door hard, feeling that this stone door is not moving, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Shouldn't there be a broken dragon stone behind this stone gate?" ”

The so-called broken dragon stone, is the ancient tomb hidden with the thing, once put down, can be the stone door blocked, because the broken dragon stone generally weighs a thousand catties, once it falls, from the front can not open the tomb door.

Ji Yuan frowned slightly and said: "The possible surname of the Broken Dragon Stone should not be big, Shi Dakai has always put benevolence and righteousness first, and he has a lot of love for the people, this Broken Dragon Stone must be put down in the tomb, which means that the Broken Dragon Stone must be put down at the cost of the sacrifice of the people in the tomb." ”

Cui Shiyan also nodded and said: "Yes, before the Dadu River, Shi Dakai was able to surrender in order to protect the soldiers of the three armies, so it is unlikely to set up the Broken Dragon Stone, if you want to look at me, I am afraid that the weight of this stone gate is too heavy, Xiaofan, you don't have enough strength." ”

Zeng Xian also pushed the door at this time, and said in surprise: "This stone door is really heavy, and my strength is not small, so I didn't move at all." ”

Zhao Zhuo walked to the door at this time, took a deep breath, accumulated his strength on his arms, put one hand on a stone door, and pushed it forward, although the stone door did not move obviously, but a lot of dust immediately fell from the stone cracks.

Everyone couldn't help but be taken aback, Zhao Zhuo didn't look strong, but his strength was obviously much greater than that of the other two.

In fact, at this time, Zhao Zhuocai exerted less than half of his strength, and when he saw that there was movement in Shimen, he took another breath, accumulated all his strength, and then shouted loudly and pushed it out violently.

After a dull sound of "bang-", Shimen seemed to be slightly shaken by this force, and then made a "click" sound.

Jing Yao's eyes widened when he saw it, he relied on Zhao Zhuo to solve problems along the way, and he was not only wise, but also had a thousand catties of strength.

However, after the stone gate was pushed open, everyone couldn't help but be stunned, the stone gate was indeed a big cave hall, but the cave hall was empty, and there was not even a piece of gold and silver treasure.

However, everyone remembered the mechanism they encountered along the way, and thought that there could be a mechanism hidden here, so they walked into the cave hall and searched for it to see if they could find any traces of the secret passage.

Only Zhao Zhuo stood in front of the stone door, frowning slightly, the situation in this stone hall can be said to be clear at a glance, there is no trace of treasure, if you want to set up a secret door here, it is really too mysterious.

Suddenly, there was a small sound in his ears, and he quickly turned his head, and saw a small crack on the shoulder of a stone figurine.

This cave was not completely sealed, on the contrary, it was well ventilated, and when he walked to such a deep place, Zhao Zhuo did not feel that the air was thin.

After so many years of such air circulation, the stone figurines will also be naturally weathered, so it is normal to have cracks.

However, it was this small crack that made Zhao Zhuo's eyes light up, and he suddenly understood the real place of hidden treasures.
