A few days later, the five fingers of the cow were buried, and after careful preparations, Qin Mubai and Li Ke took the two thunders and the three thunders, and led more than ten henchmen of the palace to the stone slope of Xihe Cao again.

"Mu Bai, are these three old men okay?" Li Ke whispered.

"No problem." Qin Mubai nodded affirmatively.

Li Ke pursed his lips, obviously still a little unconvinced, and said: "I'm afraid that hundreds of sergeants are not sure that they will be able to smash a big hole in this rocky ground within a month." These three old men who are dying ......"

"I don't know until I see it." Qin Mubai smiled slightly.

"By the way, I may have to dig deep caves and dig tombs in a while, my people are okay to work hard, but they are not capable enough, why don't you bring a hundred horsemen?" Li Ke asked.

Qin Mubai rolled his eyes a few times, smiled strangely, and did not speak. Li Ke was stunned for a moment, smiled heartily, and muttered, "Okay, I won't ask." ”

After all, the hundred horsemen are the emperor's personal guards, and it is a little indecent to bring grave digging and digging graves. And besides...... In case there are some secrets here that they don't want the emperor to know, more things are better than less, and it is better not to bring a hundred horsemen.

For a while, Li Ke clearly felt that Qin Mubai seemed to be a little closer to him than to the emperor, and he was quite happy in his heart.

"General, you're all set." The three old men tossed for a while, planted the explosives, and came to report. Because the voice was so loud that Li Ke had to cover his ears.

Qin Mubai laughed: "Your Highness, don't mind. They have been studying gunpowder all their lives, and their ears have been broken, so they are not hearing well, and they naturally speak loudly - three masters, then let's start! ”

"Please retreat farther away from the general, His Highness, and others." The three old men said, "The power of the five-fingered divine thunder is too great, and the stone chips from the explosion can fly out of a hundred feet and hurt people, so it is better to avoid the boat." ”

"Is that an exaggeration?" Li Ke blinked suspiciously.

"Listen to them, let's go!" Qin Mubai said.

"Okay."

The group walked to the boat, leaving Da Lei to take care of an extremely long lead, which was pulled directly to the shore. When everyone got on the boat, the thunder lit the fire and jumped on the boat.

The fuse burned with a snort, like a spiritual snake rushing forward. The three old men collapsed on the deck of the ship in an exaggerated manner, clutching their ears tightly. Seeing that their actions were so exaggerated, Qin Mubai, Li Ke and the others also squatted down and covered their ears tightly.

After a while, there was still no movement. Li Ke couldn't help but let go of his hand suspiciously, stood up and looked. Suddenly, there was a violent explosion in front of him, and the deafening sound rushed with a wave of air, which shook Li Ke and almost fell to the ground.

The whole mound trembled violently, and a violent wave rose near the shore, and the ship shook and swayed. Li Ke was unsteady on his feet and almost fell off the boat, but fortunately, Qin Mubai quickly grabbed him.

"Boom, rumble!"

A mushroom-like black and white wave of qi rushed into the sky, and the people on the boat, except for Qin Mubai and the three old men, were the first time in their lives to see such a terrifying explosion, and many people were so frightened that their faces turned white on the spot, and some people exclaimed: "This, this can't be the demon king in the ancient tomb, right?" ”

"Shut up!" Qin Mubai snorted and said, "It's okay now, let's hurry up and take a look!" ”

With that, he jumped off the boat first.

Li Ke's face turned a little pale, his legs trembled a little, and he jumped off the boat, still a little frightened, and muttered: "It's terrifying!" What a power to move mountains and seas! - Mu Bai, if these five-fingered divine thunder are used to destroy the city and uproot the village......"

Qin Mubai smiled mysteriously: "I'll talk about that later, now, adventure is the key!" ”

"Okay!" Li Ke smiled and rubbed his hands happily, "It's so exciting!" I've grown so big, today is the most exciting day! Wait, let's go! ”

"Wait! I almost forgot to put on heavy armor. Qin Mubai hurriedly stopped Li Ke.

"Is it necessary?"

"There should be." Qin Mubai said, "Zhao Chong's grandfather must have entered the ancient tomb, and among his relics, there is a Mingguang armor. Obviously, he didn't treasure such a thing from the former Sui Dynasty as a memorial, otherwise why did he only have battle armor and no swords and seals? That's why I miss that there are mechanisms in this ancient tomb, and heavy armor is needed to defend them. ”

Li Ke nodded approvingly: "Okay, listen to you—everyone listens to the order, put on armor!" ”

A group of more than ten people, except for three old men and two sailors who stayed behind to watch the ship, the others were all dressed in high-quality Mingguang battle armor, and brought sharp blades, bows and arrows, realgar and torches and white glitter, etc., and they were fully prepared, and then went to the explosion site.

When they got to that place, everyone's eyes widened in confusion—

"There's a huge hole!"

A huge hole with a diameter of three or four zhang was presented in front of everyone's eyes. The edge of the cave was charred black, with a small amount of vegetation and sparks and charred rock and soil. The cave was pitch black, and it was obviously extremely deep. However, a foot or two after entering the cave, you can indeed see a staircase extending downward. It's just that in the previous paragraph, it was blown up by the huge power of the five-fingered divine thunder.

"Mu Bai, it turns out that your inference is correct." Li Ke said happily, "You can change your career to become a feng shui master." ”

"Haha!" Qin Mubai laughed, "Actually, I'm also half-guessing and half-ignorant - what are you waiting for, go down!" ”

"Good!" Li Ke's eyebrows danced and laughed, his hands propped up his waist and made a gesture of inhaling and puffing up courage, and waved his big hand: "You guys—up!" ”

"Yes!"

Although they were afraid, the royal guards answered loudly. Several men lined up, lit torches, and carefully slid hand in hand into the steep hole. Descended a few steps, stepped on the stairs, and then went down one by one. After digging a few feet down, I heard a voice from inside the cave: "Your Highness, General, everything is fine!" It's a deep hole! ”

"Okay, let's go down too!" Li Ke jumped down happily, and the people below hurriedly reached out to catch him, and he was stable.

Qin Mubai shook his head and smiled, and jumped down as well.

The cave has been closed for many years, and the air is very turbid. After just entering for a while, everyone felt a little tightness in their chests. Someone whispered, "There won't be a curse of disgust, right?" I felt dizzy and uncomfortable. ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Qin Mubai shouted, "Let's quit first and wait for a while, wait for me to deal with it, and then come back later." ”

And they all obeyed the order, and they climbed out first. Qin Mubai picked up a number of torches and threw them into the cave, waiting for them to burn to cause air convection, and secondly, it could also play a role in driving away the poisonous miasma. After waiting for a while, Qin Mubai said, "Okay, you can go in now!" ”

The people went into the cave again, and this time they felt much better. Although there is some unpleasant smell of burnt smoke in the air, fortunately, the air is much more comfortable, and there is no longer that feeling of chest tightness and dizziness.

"It seems that this hole is not ordinarily deep." Lighting the torch and seeing the road ahead, everyone agreed.

"Let me go ahead!" Qin Mubai said.

"No, it's too dangerous." Li Ke hurriedly pulled him down.

"Don't worry, it's okay." Qin Mubai smiled confidently, patted Li Ke's hand and said.

Li Ke understood what he meant, so he stopped forcing it. Maybe if Qin Mubai doesn't walk in front and observe carefully, everyone will be in danger.

"Okay, then be careful."

So Qin Mubai took a torch and walked in the front.

Cautiously walked a few feet inward, and everything was safe and sound. At the beginning, a cave was relatively narrow and crude, and the traces of axes and shovels were clearly visible on the cave wall, and green moss grew in some places. After entering a few zhang, the cave seems to be much wider, the ground is actually smooth and flat stone slab road, there are torches inserted in the wall road on both sides, and occasionally you can see one or two murals.

"Your Highness, it seems that the section of the cave in front of it is very likely to have been temporarily dug and built by Zhao Chong's grandfather and others after the Han River diversion filled the West River Channel and flooded this mausoleum, so it looks very rough. By now, we should be close to the real mausoleum. Qin Mubai said, "You see, this is obviously a huge project, even the walls of the cave are made of high-quality stone, and there are exquisite murals on it. ”

"It's a palace painting of the former Sui." Li Ke said, "I know. ”

Of course, Qin Mubai would not doubt it. Li Ke's mother is the princess of the former Sui.

"So, this is really the tomb of a former Sui royal family?"

"You can't be wrong." Li Ke's expression became much more solemn.

If this is the case, then isn't the owner of the mausoleum still Li Ke's mother's clan and his uncle?

The crowd continued to move forward cautiously, and suddenly the cave became wider, and suddenly the front opened up, and a huge cavity of the mountain belly like a theater hall appeared, several feet high. Although there are no traces of people for many years, this place still looks very neat, except for a lot of old dust, there is no other debris.

In front of it, there is a very flat "mountain wall", and the cave is at the end of here. There were a number of torches on the mountain wall, and everyone carefully looked around and found that there was no other way out.

At this time, Qin Mubai saw that there was actually a huge relief on the mountain wall, but it was not very real because it was covered by a lot of dust. After a closer look, it turned out to be a heroic man riding a horse and waving a long whip forward, wearing a familiar Mingguang armor, but wearing a curtain crown on his head.

"That's ......!" When Li Ke saw that picture, he was suddenly stunned!

"Former Emperor Yang of Sui, your grandfather?" Qin Mubai exclaimed in a low voice.

"It should be ......" Li Ke's eyes widened, he took a deep breath and nodded gently, "I once saw my mother paint my grandfather's appearance for me, and it is not much different from this." Unexpectedly, there is an image of him here! ”

"Your Highness, General, look!" At this time, an attentive pawn noticed something unusual on the mountain wall and shouted loudly.

Everyone walked over and saw that on this side of the mountain wall, there was a special frame the size of a door panel, which was engraved with many different Chinese characters. These characters are the same fist size, and there are hundreds of them engraved here in the form of reliefs.

Li Ke stepped forward curiously, carefully wiped the dust on the handwriting with his sleeve, and carefully identified that it was all messy handwriting, neither written nor written. He stroked it gently with curiosity, suddenly frowned, and said, "This can be pressed!" ”

"Your Highness, slow down!" Qin Mubai hurriedly shouted.

But slowly!

Li Ke had already pressed a word.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang behind him, and a huge stone gate suddenly descended from nowhere, and it fell in an instant with a boom, and the future tense hole was completely blocked!

"Ahh Everyone shouted in panic.

Li Ke's face turned white, he looked at Qin Mubai with a blank look, and muttered, "I didn't expect it...... It's going to be a trap! ”

Qin Mubai wrinkled his brows: "The matter has come to this, find another way out." Don't panic, everyone! There must be a way out! ”

Under Qin Mubai's appeasement, everyone finally settled down and began to carefully look for a way out. Li Ke was full of anger and a little self-reproachful, and he kept staring at the relief board in a daze, staring at it without moving his feet.

"Mu Bai, come here!" Suddenly, Li Ke shouted.

"What's wrong?" Qin Mubai walked over.

Li Ke took a deep breath and said, "This slate may be both the activation gate of the mechanism and the way out!" ”

"How?" Qin Mubai asked.

Li Ke gritted his teeth and said: "Although the words on this are arranged in a disorderly manner, many words make me feel familiar. So I think that they are not random scattered words, but that some poem has been separated by confusion and placed here in pieces. If you want to find the entrance to the tomb, you have to press it word by word in the order of the poem. If it's wrong, a large stone slab will be activated to block the way it came. I'm afraid that's what it was used to deal with tomb robbers. ”

Qin Mubai suddenly said in surprise: "Then do you know what kind of poem this is?" ”

"Yes." Li Ke said lightly, "It's a poem by my grandfather, "Drinking Horses and Great Wall Caves"! ”

"So what are you waiting for, try it! Even if it's wrong, it's no worse than it is now! Qin Mubai said busily.

Li Ke's expression became solemn, and some sweat stains overflowed from the corners of his forehead. He stretched out his fingers, but trembled slightly, and under the gaze of everyone, he pressed one of the words - "Su"!

While pressing, Li Ke chanted in a deep voice-

"The autumn wind rises, and you travel thousands of miles.

Thousands of miles to go, across the desert to build the Great Wall.

The boy is wise, the camp of the first saint.

Shuzi Wanshi policy, peace this billions of life.

Dare to worry about Jiao Si and sit back in Beijing.

Beihe Bingwu Festival, thousands of miles of rolls.

Mountains and rivers haunt each other, and the wilderness is poor and overlooked.

Stop the march with gold, beat the drums and raise the soldiers.

Thousands of rides, drinking horses and the Great Wall Caves.

Autumn dusk is filled with clouds, and the fog is dark and the mountains and moons are closed.

The edge of the Yan post was immediately, and the beacon fire was sent out in the air.

By asking the Great Wall, only to enter the pilgrimage.

The turbidity is quiet in the Tianshan Mountains, and the morning light is high.

The release of the army is still revitalizing, and it is necessary to take a foolish action.

Drink to the proclamation, and return to the front of the Qing Temple. ”

……

The last word "former" was pressed, and Li Ke was already sweating profusely and panting, staring around with wide eyes, without the slightest movement.

He shook his head in disappointment: "It seems that I guessed wrong." ”

"Boom-"

Suddenly, a loud bang sounded in the hollow cave, and everyone was shocked.

The entire large stone wall in front of him suddenly cracked a crack in the middle and moved to both sides.

Booming loud noise, dust and sand falling!

"Your Highness, be careful!"

The sergeants hurriedly pulled Li Ke backwards to dodge.

At this moment, the huge stone gate pressed down behind him was also slowly rising, making a loud and dull smacking sound.

The opening of the big stone wall became bigger and bigger, and a whistling yin wind came from inside, blowing up the sand and dust falling on the stone wall, and the sky was flying without seeing the line.

"Your Highness, you have succeeded!"

"Really?" Li Ke responded happily, but he was choked by the dust and coughed non-stop.

Everyone hurriedly covered their mouths and noses with their robes to avoid the countless sands and dust.

After a long time, the loud noise stopped, the wind also stopped, and the sand and dust gradually subsided and stopped flying. When everyone opened their eyes again, they were horrified!

When the huge mountain wall was opened, there was a palace-like scene inside!

carved beams and cornices, gold bricks and jade tiles; White stone paving, dragon pillars!

It's actually a Jinluan Treasure Palace!

On the big stone pillar in the hall, I don't know how many priceless night pearls are embedded, illuminating the inside as bright as day. Coupled with the reflection of light from those golden objects, Qin Mubai and the others, who had adapted to the darkness, illuminated it a little dazzlingly.

"Oh my God! Is this the Heavenly Court Palace?! Everyone was shocked, and suddenly several sergeants who were so excited that they were about to rush inside.

"Rich, we rich!"

"Stop!" Li Ke shouted, and the sergeants woke up as if they had been empowered, and hurriedly knelt on the ground to plead guilty.

"Get out of the way!" Li Ke snorted, his expression extremely serious.
