decided to open the tomb the next day, although Li Mobai said it easily, but he was cautious in his heart.

Although the ancients had a saying that 'governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh', Li Mobai has always cherished life and believes in the principle of being careful and making no big mistakes.

Be careful not to say that Li Mobai is afraid, but Li Mobai is worried that he will disturb the first master who is sleeping underground, and the first master dared to deal with the little devil in the tomb back then, how could Li Mobai be afraid.

Be careful, so that the process and the result are perfect. Only with care can Xiao Xian cook the flavor.

Back at his residence, Li Mobai took out the classic book that cracked the road map and studied it again, immersed himself in the ocean of knowledge, and shuttled freely like a fish with his arms outstretched.

The next day, Li Mobai put on the prepared pig's head, cow's head, sheep's head and the best Moutai, came to the excavation site early, lit incense, and bowed three times in the air, "Grandpa, great-grandson Li Mobai came to take you home, I hope you will bless Mobai in the spirit of heaven to successfully complete the task of this trip." After speaking, he poured the whole bottle of Moutai on the ground.

Suddenly, the aroma of wine overflowed, and at this time, the originally clear sky actually picked up the wind, and the gentle breeze blew, like the hand of an elder gently caressing his cheeks.

Li Mobai carried out a simple three-animal sacrifice to Li Ruzhou of the Li family, that is, the heroic ancestor who rested here.

Seeing this, Jiang Yunpeng also bowed in the same way, but he didn't say anything, with a solemn face.

Hu Lao looked at Li Mobai's somewhat nondescript worship ceremony, and wanted to say something but didn't say anything, only feeling that his eyes were a little burning.

"Old Hu, see if you can open this tomb now." After worshipping the first master, Li Mobai said to Old Expert Hu.

"Okay, now we're ready to open the tombway, and everyone is in place." Hu Laoyi waved his hand.

With Hu Lao's order, the archaeological team members who had already prepared opened the tomb door with various tools, and suddenly a stream of moldy and dirty air overflowed from the tomb.

Although Li Mobai was anxious to go in and take out the old lady's bones, he also knew that he couldn't rush in at this time, at least let the outside air neutralize the dirty air inside before entering.

Although there are gas masks prepared, and they are all fully dressed, and all the tools are ready, this is open archaeology, and it is not a tomb robbery, so there is no need to rush.

After being tested by the instrument until the air inside could ensure normal breathing, Li Mobai took the lead in stepping into the tomb. Jiang Yunpeng was originally going to follow Li Mobai in, but he didn't expect Han Dong to be a step faster, and followed Li Mobai in, the tiger and the leopard originally strongly asked to enter the tomb together, but Li Mobai did not agree, but left the two to continue to stay, the things they received were Li Mobai's heart and liver treasures, and there was no room for the slightest mistake.

Entering behind Jiang Yunpeng were four members of the archaeological team, and the old expert Hu was old, so he was directing outside, holding the walkie-talkie nervously.

As soon as you enter the cemetery, it is a long road, not very high, you need to bend down to move forward, although the air in the tomb is dirty, but after neutralization of the outside air, it is now much better, and everyone has an oxygen irrigation on their backs, even if it is in a state of hypoxia inside, it can also be used to inhale oxygen for temporary emergency, but there is no worry about the danger of hypoxia.

For public archaeology, the danger inside the tomb is not the lack of oxygen, but the unknown mechanism. However, for modern science, those mechanisms are not difficult, but due to the age, with the corrosion of air and moisture, many mechanisms have changed over time, or failed, or become new mechanisms, which are impossible to prevent, and this is the real danger.

Li Mobai walked in front, knowing that after leaving this road, he needed to walk according to a special pace of progress, which was the reason why the old lady used the environment in the tomb to transform it.

"Attention, after leaving the road, everyone walks forward with my footprints!" Li Mobai said into the walkie-talkie.

After leaving the Yongdao, Li Mobai found that there was not much danger in the Yongdao just now, and there was no shadow of the mechanism, so he couldn't help but be a little puzzled. I looked at it with a searchlight, and found that the space inside had become higher, and I didn't have to move forward with a cat's waist anymore, there were three lines in front of me, and through the road map, Li Mobai knew that the middle line was a safe line, but where was it when the old lady detonated the explosives and opened the mechanism?

Guessing that the old lady must have been in the tomb at that time, he chose the safety corridor in the middle, walked into this corridor, and found that the tomb walls on both sides were painted with various murals, such as the Pixiu Vermilion Bird and other mythical beasts, and the statue of Guanyin flying to the sky, but some places were obviously damaged by man-made.

Seeing these murals, Li Mobai was not surprised, but the archaeological team members behind him shouted excitedly as if they had discovered a new continent.

When Hu Lao heard the situation inside, he was also full of smiles, and his excitement was overflowing.

Li Mobai did not stop, but continued to move forward, and soon walked out of this corridor, and found that in front of him was a hall of about 100 square meters, in the middle of the hall was a relief made of stones, and the whole hall was empty, without any funeral items.

The archaeological team members who followed Li Mobai also discovered this situation, and couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, what is going on? How can it be so empty?

"Hehe, this is a mechanism, everyone must understand, right?" Li Mobai looked at the relief painting in front of him and said.

"Mo Bai, where is the mechanism?" Jiang Yunpeng didn't understand, and asked.

"No, it's this relief, if we want to find a way to move forward, we must go through the mechanism behind this relief." Li Mobai pointed to the relief in front of him.

"No, this relief is a complete painting, it can't be a jigsaw puzzle, right?" Jiang Yunpeng asked with some surprise.

"You're right, this is a jigsaw puzzle, you need to put together another picture to open this mechanism, and there are fixed steps, if the steps are wrong, it will definitely give us big gifts, such as poisoned arrows, throwing knives and the like."

"It's not like the little devil has already come, why is the mechanism still there?" Jiang Yunpeng was even more puzzled.

"Hehe, there may be no poison arrows and hidden weapons like that, but misspelling it will lead us to more dangerous traps, which are often when you go in, they will automatically revert to their original form." Li Mobai smiled.

"Uh, it's so delicate, it's not you fooling me, are you?" Jiang Yunpeng said with some disbelief.

"If you don't believe me, try to see if those square stones can move?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yunpeng walked to the relief and looked at it, stretched out his hand and shook it, feeling that these stones could really move, "Hey, it seems that what you said is still true, but there is no gap next to it, how can it move?" ”

"You're really lucky, you tried to take the piece off just now, a little bit of strength." Li Mobai had been paying attention to this stone carving painting just now, and found that there were a total of 36 pieces of this relief, remembering that the book said that this was a puzzle mechanism of medium difficulty, and looking at the piece that Jiang Yunpeng reached out to try was the one that needed to be taken down, he couldn't help but be happy.

When Jiang Yunpeng heard this, he broke it down hard, and tried it for a long time, although the relief stone was loose, but it couldn't be taken out, "I can't take it out, how can I use it?" ”

"Evenly apply force from the two diagonal angles, and you can take it off." Li Mobai watched Jiang Yunpeng toss and turn, but he didn't say anything until Jiang Yunpeng finally figured out that his method was wrong and asked questions.

Jiang Yunpeng heard the words and concocted the same method, and used force evenly on the opposite corner, and really took down the stone without much effort, "Mo Bai, that's really the case, how should these stones move next?" ”

Li Mobai didn't speak, but looked at this relief and thought, how to move the right step? What's next? The road map does not indicate it, but it only states the location of the tomb and the mechanism inside the tomb.

"When you just entered, did anyone fail to step on my pace?" Li Mobai asked suddenly.

Big guy, look at me, look at you, look at each other, no one speaks, after a while, "I, I just took a look at the mural, and one foot was off." One of the archaeological team members said with some embarrassment.

Li Mobai was happy when he heard this, "That's right, it seems that I was wrong, the number just now is the key to open this mural." Li Mobai patted his head in fear, "Dongzi, you and Brother Yunpeng will move this mural puzzle together." ”

"The one on the left is down, and the one on the bottom is ,......,...... up" As Li Mobai reported sentence by sentence, Han Dong and Jiang Yunpeng cooperated to move the stones.

It wasn't until I moved 99 steps that I turned this relief puzzle into another relief, which was completely different from what I had just seen.

"Now close the piece you just took down, everyone else will enter the corridor, Brother Yunpeng and Dongzi, you will also quickly lie down after closing the stone." Li Mobai commanded.

"Squeak!" When Jiang Yunpeng and Han Dong worked together to put the first stone on it, there was a sudden squeak of the stone moving, and everyone was surprised to see the painting suddenly separate from the middle, revealing a crack in the middle, which was also amazing.

"Okay, you two don't have to lie on the ground, you can get up." Li Mobai also walked out of Yongdaokou and said.

When the squeaking sound stopped, another corridor about three feet wide and high enough for a normal person to pass through appeared in front of him, and when Han Dong saw it, he wanted to step up because of the proximity.

"Dongzi, don't move, don't be reckless!" Li Mobai saw that Han Dong was about to set foot on this road, so he hurriedly spoke out to stop him.

Hearing this, Han Dong stubbornly withdrew his foot that was lifted in the air and retreated, "Hey, I'm a little complacent." ”

After opening this mechanism, the air in the tomb was a little dirty again, Li Mobai did not speak, but stood at the newly appeared Yongdao entrance and looked inside.

This road is not long, about 3 zhang or so, through the strong light flashlight can see that there should be a large space inside, carefully look at the ground of the road, and find that the road is all paved with a square brick of one foot square, and there are various murals on the four walls.

"Mo Bai, what's wrong with this road?" Seeing that Li Mobai stood at the entrance of Yongdao without speaking or walking forward, Jiang Yunpeng asked.
