Chapter 102: Searching for the Truth in the Void
The stone platforms in this bronze hall, each the size of a basketball court, can accommodate more than 100 people at the same time, while the soldiers climbed to the higher stone platform, Ma Chao took a closer look.
There are 9 stone platforms on the first floor, 7 on the second floor, 5 on the third floor, 3 on the fourth floor, and only 1 on the highest floor, making a total of 25 stone platforms.
Only the 9 stone platforms on the first floor are full of jeweled treasures, and it is impossible to imagine what kind of treasures there will be on the only stone platform on the highest floor.
Ma Chao had a calm face and thought: "The top layer, I'm afraid it's not simple, and the people who designed it here are even more not simple." ”
Zhuge Xuan nodded and said: "I have been studying Taoist metaphysics for many years, and I have always heard that the design of Emperor Guangwu's mausoleum is contrary to the normal location of Feng Shui treasures. ”
"A real mausoleum?"
Xu Shu was shocked by Zhuge Xuan's words, took a deep breath and asked, "Isn't the original tomb his mausoleum?" ”
Zhuge Xuan shook his head: "Although the original tomb is in the Pillow River Kicking Mountain, but in the final analysis, in addition, there is nothing unusual, and now what I have seen is extremely strange, and it is also on the Pillow River Kicking Mountain, so it is worthy of the mausoleum of the Founding Emperor!" ”
Just as they were chatting about Liu Xiu's mausoleum, on the stone platform on the second floor, a sudden change occurred, and the first person to step on the 7 stone platforms was about to speak, but was directly sucked away by a huge suction, and his figure disappeared immediately.
Due to the height of the stone platform between each layer, there is a height distance of about 3 meters, therefore, from the perspective of Ma Chao and others, they can only see the edge of the second layer of stone platform, but cannot see the situation inside.
Ma Chao found the problem, immediately opened the talent peeping, as soon as the wireframe appeared, he was suddenly defeated by an inexplicable huge force, and the world in front of Ma Chao collapsed suddenly, and was finally crushed by the huge force.
"Ah——!h
From his eyes, a thin line of blood flowed out, along the edge of his face, all the way down to his chin, dripping to the ground, converging into a small pool of blood.
"Hmm."
The palm of his hand tightly covered his eyes in severe pain, Ma Chao couldn't have imagined that he just turned on the thermal imaging and wanted to scan the situation on the stone platform, but he was subjected to such a violent vibration, he could feel that if he hadn't immediately turned off his voyeurism talent, his eyes would have been squeezed and exploded!
Liu Xie hurriedly asked, "General Ma, are you okay?" ”
The others also panicked, Ma Chao is the backbone of these people, once Ma Chao is in trouble, what should they do?
"I'm fine, don't worry, Your Majesty."
When Ma Chao's eyes were injured, there were more and more soldiers who climbed up the second layer of the stone platform, and hundreds of people had already gone up, and they all looked overjoyed, as if there were better treasures buried on the second layer of the stone platform than the first layer.
As the figures were sucked away one by one, someone finally noticed that something was wrong, and one of the soldiers immediately shouted: "Everyone, stop! ”
"The stone platform on the second floor, there is a problem!"
However, no one would listen to him, but it strengthened their determination to climb up, and finally, more than 1,000 people climbed up, and only a few dozen people remained on the first stone platform.
After a long time, the 7 stone platforms on the second floor were silent, there was no sound, not even the sound of joy when seeing the treasure, and the needle drop could be heard, which was extremely weird.
"This..."
The dozens of soldiers on the first floor glanced at each other, and they all felt a chill to the bone, as if every stone platform on the second floor was a ghost with a wide mouth, quietly waiting for them to climb up and burrow into the big mouth of the ghost.
Ma Chao finally stabilized the injury, slowly opened his eyes, and saw that it was crimson, he knew that it was because the capillaries in the eyeball had broken too much, and he would see a piece of blood red.
He fixed his mind and looked around, and there was no other passage in this bronze hall except for the passage occupied by the fiery serpent when he came.
In other words, they could only climb to the highest of the 25 stone platforms, or they would have no way to go and would end up starving to death here.
"The pathfinder has completed its mission, and now it's time for us to act."
"Let's go."
Ma Chao, Gao Shun, Xu Shu and others began to climb up the first layer of the stone platform, on the ground of the stone platform, there were all scattered gold and silver jewelry, agate crystals, Ma Chao casually picked up a jade bead, and felt a chill when he started.
He was a little skeptical that the jade bead in his hand was a real treasure.
On the other hand, Gao Shun, Xu Shu and others picked up the things on the ground, and they all showed a trace of imperceptible joy.
"Something is wrong."
Ma Chao narrowed his eyes slightly, obviously before he boarded the stone platform, Gao Shun and they still had great vigilance against unknown mysterious things in their hearts, why now, just picking up some gold, silver and jewelry, could they actually make them happy?
Here, it seems to be full of a kind of magic that affects people's minds all the time.
"Not good!"
Zhuge Xuan beside him, his eyes were full of fear, his eyes were closed, cold sweat was dripping from his face, as if he was suffering great pain, Ma Chao saw this, and immediately patted Zhuge Xuan's back and woke him up.
He exhaled heavily, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said with palpitations: "Whew... Thank you, General Ma! ”
Ma Chaoqi said: "What's wrong with you?" ”
Zhuge Xuan's face turned pale, as if recalling what happened just now, and said: "As soon as I picked up the treasure on the ground, I actually fell into a kind of illusion, but I have practiced Taoist metaphysics for many years, and I have a certain resistance to the illusion, and the more I resist, the more I will endure great pain, as if the air is solid, and I want to squeeze me alive to death!" ”
"It's so weird!"
is also picking up things from the ground, most of them fall into the trap of the illusion, but Zhuge Xuan can detect that something is wrong, but he can only continue to resist the invasion of the illusion, but Ma Chao actually doesn't feel it at all.
He told Zhuge Xuan about his differences, and Zhuge Xuan was also very puzzled, and couldn't figure out why only Ma Chao didn't suffer the oppression from the illusion.
Gao Shun, Xu Shu and others, including Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and Liu Xie, all put a treasure on their bodies, including jade, agate, gold and silver, etc., and then began to climb up the second layer of stone platforms.
They didn't ask Ma Chao for advice, so they climbed up!
Zhuge Xuan was shocked and wanted to stop them, but was stopped by Ma Chao, and he immediately looked tight: "General Ma, why are you stopping me?" ”
Ma Chao shook his head slightly: "They have fallen into the illusion, it's too late, for today's plan, we must break the illusion here, Lord Zhuge , do you have any way?" ”
Zhuge Xuan frowned, and then as if he thought of something, he took out an artifact from his arms, which was a compass-like thing made of bronze, with gossip graphics engraved on it.
"What is this?"
"Xuankong seeks the truth."
