Li Tianran spoke, Xiaoluo immediately held his breath, and did not dare to make a sound... The cave was so quiet for a while that it seemed that only the sound of their heartbeats could be heard, and finally there was a sound of "tick, tick" not far away! Xiaoluo said happily: "Po Li, do you listen, it seems to be the sound of water?" ”

Li Tianran responded: "Well, yes! Come on! Brother is saved! As soon as he finished speaking, Li Tianran hurriedly stepped up his steps again and rushed forward in the dark!

After walking a few steps, Li Tianran suddenly said "Huh"! Xiaoluo hurriedly stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”

Li Tianran stretched out his hand and touched the front left and right again, and then replied confidently: "Xiaoluo, there is a fork in front, it seems that there are two roads!" ”

Xiaoluo didn't have to think about it, and immediately replied: "Listen carefully, let's go to the other side where there is the sound of water!" It's important to save people! ”

This was in line with Li Tianran's intentions, and he listened to it again, so he squeezed into one of them, and Xiaoluo followed... Just two steps, the sound of water droplets became clearer, Li Tianran touched the sound of water, and what was in front of him was actually a copper container the size of a basin, and the water droplets just fell into it, and now it was a full pot! Li Tianran was shocked in his heart, and secretly thought to himself, could it be that someone has lived here? Otherwise, how could there be a container just placed here, could it be the mausoleum keeper? But as soon as this thought came out, he immediately dispelled it, if it was really a mausoleum keeper, how could he live in this mausoleum, and it was still in the cave!

At the moment, saving people is important, Li Tianran has no time to think about it, he hurriedly put down the Li Bo bird on his body, tasted the water in the container again, and after confirming that it is correct, he broke Li Bo Yu's mouth and poured it in! After working for a while, Li Tianran was exhausted! Li Boyu still didn't react, but Xiao Luo took advantage of the gap to grope around, and suddenly said: "Po Li, quickly give me the flint, there are dry branches and torches here!" ”

"Twigs, torches?" Li Tianran muttered in disbelief, but he still hurriedly handed over the flint! Xiaoluo quickly lit the torch, and there was finally a light in the dark hole, and it was because of this light that the two finally saw the environment here clearly.

This is not a secret passage, more like a secret room, a foot wide, a thick layer of dead grass is placed on the ground in the corner of the secret room, some paper is scattered on the ground, and there is even a lamp on the wall, Li Tianran took it down and looked at it, the oil in the lamp has dried up, and the lamp is no longer usable! Li Tianran leaned over and picked up the paper on the ground, glanced at it, suddenly frowned, and hurriedly threw the paper back to the ground, Xiaoluo saw this and asked, "What's wrong?" What's written on paper? ”

Li Tianran said: "Don't look, if I am not mistaken, what is drawn on this paper is the pattern on the top of the dome outside, so as not to mess up my mind again for a while!" ”

Xiao Luo also looked a little incredulous, and muttered, "The pattern on the top of the dome? How did you end up here? ”

Li Tianran didn't answer, but leaned closer to the wall, looked up and down carefully, and then slowly sat back next to Li Boyu! He took advantage of the light to look at Li Boyu's face, checked his pulse again, and then breathed a sigh of relief, and responded: "Brother is stable, he should wake up in a while!" I'm glad I found it, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable! ”

Xiaoluo sat down next to Li Tianran and said softly: "Brother Ru is fine, but here... It's kind of incredible ... ”

Li Tianran said slowly: "If what I expected is correct, this is where the senior who opened the stone gate lived!" Li Tianran pointed to the wall and continued: "Xiaoluo, you see, the walls around here are made of mud, not made of stone!" The main hall just now is surrounded by stone walls, and this place is just the opposite, so I deduce that this place was not built at the same time as the mausoleum, but more like it was excavated by later generations! Judging by the haystacks, containers, and lamps here, it's not hard to deduce this! ”

Xiao Luo nodded, agreed with Li Tianran's inference, and continued to ask, "Then he... Where did it go? ”

Li Tianran continued to reply: "It must be out!" Seemingly... We are saved. ”

"Out?" Xiaoluo didn't think deeply, and was a little confused for a while.

Li Tianran said: "Xiaoluo, you are so smart on weekdays, what's wrong today?" You see, these bronze vessels, dead grass and paper are not from the mausoleum, are they? Especially this paper, it didn't appear when Qin Shi Huang was there! So... ”

"So this man came out of the mausoleum and turned back, and he was once trapped by illusions, so he studied illusions in this vault here! We... You can escape by following the secret passage he used to go out of! Xiaoluo answered.

After hearing this, Li Tianran finally showed a long-lost smile, and responded: "This is like... Clever little fall on weekdays! ”

Xiao Luo also smiled, just about to open his mouth to answer, he heard Li Bo Bird cough lightly, the two hurriedly surrounded him, Li Bo Bird finally slowly opened his eyes, at this time there was light, he looked around, and asked weakly: "Where is this?" It happened ... What's the matter? I remember ... ”

Li Tianran hurriedly answered: "Brother, don't worry, you have been poisoned by mercury, and you are fortunate to find this place, so you can escape!" After a short rest, we will get out of here as soon as possible! ”

"Medium ... Poison? Li Boyu looked a little incredulous, "But where did the poison of mercury come from, is it... ”

Xiao Luo responded: "It's the 'river water' under the moat!" The methods in this mausoleum are really vicious! Colorless and odorless mercury silently kills people! ”

Li Boyu couldn't help but take a deep breath when he heard this, and said slowly: "I only heard that the Qin State obtained a large amount of mercury from Bashu, and it was originally used here!" That's a great move! Li Boyu paused and continued: "King Yingzheng of Qin, can be described as the first emperor of the ages, I didn't expect the three of us to accidentally bump into his mausoleum, but... Before this gate has entered, it has been several times and almost lost his life, if he enters the spiritual temple... I don't know how many traps and murderous things there will be... ”

Li Tianran answered: "Brother, I'm afraid I don't have to think too much about this Spirit Hall of King Qin, now let's think about what will happen after I get out!" ”

Li Boyu's eyes widened and he asked, "Could it be that Ah Di has found a way to leave this place?" ”

Li Tianran nodded, and told Li Boyu about the inference just now, and Li Boyu showed a little relief on his face!

After a while, Li Boyu's complexion has improved greatly, and he slowly stood up with Li Tianran's support, and the three of them set off again, Li Tianran took some combustible things in the secret room for lighting in the cave, and when he left, he didn't forget to pick up a few pieces of paper on the ground and stuff them into his sleeves!

The other cave just now was indeed the secret passage of the cave robbery, and with the torch lighting, the three of them traveled much faster than before! Xiao Luo looked at the four walls of the flat thief hole, and couldn't help but sigh: "The one who came in before, I didn't expect to be able to make the thief hole so smooth?" ”

Li Tianran didn't look back when he heard this, but said in a low voice: "Xiaoluo, I think this shouldn't be his doing!" ”

"Who's that?" Xiaoluo hurriedly asked.

"It should be a cultivator!" Li Tianran paused and continued: "I think back then, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, used hundreds of thousands of troops to destroy the Qin Tomb, but in the end it was unsuccessful, which shows that the construction of this tomb is extremely secret and complicated! The previous one wanted to find this tomb with the strength of one person, and the location was so accurate, I thought it was impossible! It should be a secret passage deliberately left by the cultivators at that time! ”

"Then what's the use of them keeping secret passages?" Xiao Luo continued to ask.

Li Tianran said: "It's nothing more than two uses! First, it is convenient to return to the mausoleum in the future to steal the treasures; Second, in order to keep the secret of the mausoleum, most of the mausoleum repairers will be buried alive together, and they are also quietly leaving a way out for themselves! In my opinion, this secret path should belong to the second case. ”

Xiaoluo asked, "How can you see it?" ”

Li Tianran replied: "I carefully observed just now, the gate of the Spirit Hall has not been destroyed, and it is expected that no one has entered it, so it is inferred!" ”

"Won't they also build a secret passage to enter?" Xiaoluo asked.

When Li Boyu heard this, he couldn't help but take over: "It's impossible! According to historical records, the mercury obtained by the Qin State in Bashu was far more than the one in the moat just now! I heard that there are mountains and rivers, stars, sun and moon in the Qinling underground palace, and now it seems that those mountains and rivers are also made of mercury. If this is the case, then its toxicity is many times stronger than that moat, and it is impossible for the people who cultivate these things not to know, so they should not risk their lives! ”

Xiao Luo was silent when he heard this, and while speaking, the three of them seemed to have reached the end of the secret passage. The entrance to the secret passage was blocked by a boulder, and a huge sound of water could be faintly heard outside! Li Tianran seemed a little pleased, he hurriedly pushed the boulder hard, but he didn't rest all night, and his body was already weak, and after pushing a few times, the boulder didn't move at all!

Seeing this, Li Boyu and Xiaoluo hurriedly stepped forward to help, and with the joint efforts of the three of them, the boulder finally loosened! Suddenly, a bright light shone in through the gap, and it shook the eyes of the three people! But the three of them were even more overjoyed when they saw this, and immediately pushed the boulder harder, and finally... The boulder is moving slowly, and the light shining into the hole is getting bigger and bigger! Seeing that it was enough for one person to enter and exit, the three of them finally stopped, gasping for breath!

After a night of sleepless and multiple injuries, it is not easy for the three of them to escape by luck at this time! However, the three of them did not delay, and squeezed out from the cracks in the stones one by one, Li Tianran finally got out of the cave, and suddenly saw that there was a huge waterfall not far away, and the sound of the water just now came from this! Under the waterfall is a huge pool, Li Tianran secretly wondered in his heart, could it be that this is the place where the water fell last night? After going around for such a circle, you actually went back to the same place?

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard someone behind him shouting: "So you are hiding here!" ”
