Chapter 64: Like? There are fewer people
Stone ants? ”
"That kind of legendary thing is actually in this Zhaoling!?" I couldn't help but exclaim!
The eyes of Li Qiang, Gong Long and others also fell on me.
"What is a stone ant? Your knowledge of Zhaoling is beyond my imagination. Li Qiang looked at me with a frown.
I sneered, waved my hand, and said, "We've only heard of Zhaoling, but the person at the door just now died because of something, and my old timer can see it." ”
"It was a stone ant death."
"Stone ants, I know, I saw it in a book about foreign objects, saying that it lives in the cracks of the stones, and was used by ancient dignitaries and nobles as a tomb protection project, and is fierce by nature, and hungry..."Zheng Hua said suddenly, and then her expression became panicked.
"If there are stone ants on the stone walls around here... That means we're surrounded by stone ants now!? Zheng Hua immediately screamed in horror.
I frowned, I know better than Zheng Hua about the rumors about stone ants.
The stone ants that live on the stone walls of the tombs cannot touch the earth, wood products, or even iron tools, but they have been hungry for thousands of years in the ground, and they have to gnaw a piece of meat on us regardless of their own life and death.
As soon as I entered Zhaoling, I encountered such a dangerous stone ant, and the road after that...
I was a little retreating in my heart, but there was no way out, if we alarmed the stone ants, our end would be the same as that of the monk of Longhu Mountain before.
I took out the Seven Star Dragon Yuan, and I was extremely restrained against the stone ants that lived underground all the year round and had a yin aura... At least be able to protect yourself.
"Ding!" Tang Xiangyu raised his hand and quickly slashed a white mark with a knife on the stone wall.
"You! What are you doing! You're destroying Zhaoling! Destroy relics! Seeing this, Li Qiang angrily pointed his finger at Tang Xiangyu and asked, and even his hands were trembling with anger.
Tang Xiangyu just glanced at him slightly, and then walked forward by himself.
"Let's go, I can kill the stone ants."
I skimmed to the ground where Tang Xiangyu was standing just now, and sure enough, there was a stone ant that was cut off by the waist.
"It's reliable." I laughed.
Seeing this, Li Qiang could only remain silent and follow behind us.
They also understand that the only way to survive is to follow us honestly.
Gong Long waved his hand and motioned for the two of them to turn around and walk back, so that we could be safe in front and back.
Tang Xiangyu used his short knife to open the way for us, fortunately, there are not many stone ants in Zhaoling, or Sun Qiankun's predecessors came in before and they have cleaned up the stone ants, otherwise as soon as we come in, we will be bitten into white bones.
The oil candles on the surrounding walls were still lit around the tomb, which couldn't help but attract Li Qiang and Zheng Hua, two professors from the National Security Bureau.
Li Qiang put on his gloves and used a small spoon to dig up a little flesh-white candle oil.
"I heard that most of the oil candles in the tombs of the Tang Dynasty were made of oil refined by the mermaids, and I will take them back for testing to see if we can solve this mystery." Professor Li Qiang's eyes were full of excitement.
I couldn't help but shake my head.
"I've been walking for about ten minutes, why can't I get out?" I frowned, this ten minutes away, I could walk a quarter of the way on the ground, but we hadn't met a single tomb yet.
Even Tang Xiangyu had already stopped chopping, proving that there were no stone ants on the road ahead.
"Something is wrong." Tang Xiangyu stopped and gently stroked the wall with his fingers.
I stepped forward slowly and looked at the place where Tang Xiangyu was touching.
A new white mark.
It was clearly cut with a knife, but... That's where we've just been.
Why do knife scratches appear!
"Team Gong, give me a flashlight." I said.
Gong Long took out a flashlight from his backpack and threw it to me.
I lit up the wall in front of me, and sure enough... There are also white marks on the wall in front.
"What's going on?" I turned behind me, trying to find someone, but I couldn't find anybody.
"Why didn't Sun Qiankun's predecessor come to Zhaoling and forgot to call him?" I scratched my head, puzzled.
"His old arms and legs can't walk for a long time." Zhao Yue said with a smile.
"Oh..."I was a little confused, and I always felt that something was not quite right.
But now there is no other way, but to say: "No way, let's continue to go." ”
This time I had a hearty eye, took out a yellow talisman, and every two steps I tore off the corner of the yellow talisman and threw it on the ground.
Ten more minutes away... I couldn't help but widen my eyes.
Ten steps ahead of me, there is the yellow talisman I just tore off!
I turned my head sharply and looked at the wall, and sure enough, the white marks from before were there.
"Ghost hitting the wall? Zhao Yueqian..."I knocked my head with a wry smile: "Why didn't I even forget this, Zhao Yue's predecessors wanted to accompany Sun Qiankun's predecessors, and they didn't go to Zhaoling." ”
"What now?" Tang Xiangyu frowned slightly.
"If you want to break the ghost wall, the only way to understand the restrictions of the ghost wall in Zhaoling... It's just that this restriction is a bit hard to find. I frowned.
I had no choice but to move forward while continuing to look for clues.
After one more lap, we returned to square one again.
"Zheng Hua, where is my water? Zheng Hua? Li Qiang patted him aside, but it was empty.
"Hey, didn't Zheng Hua go down to Zhaoling?" Li Qiang looked at us and said suspiciously.
Gong Long was the first to shake his head and said, "No, Professor Zheng Hua's body suddenly became ill and he stayed at the garrison to rest." ”
"I'm old, I'm confused." Li Qiang said with a smile.
I frowned, I always felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't say it.
"Don't move yet... I'm trying to figure it out. "I stretched out my hand and stopped the crowd who wanted to go forward again.
Ghost hits the wall... What if this wasn't an ordinary ghost hitting the wall?
I haven't figured out the principle yet, but I already feel weird.
I took off my backpack and took out a few jars of cinnabar.
"One, two...", I counted all the people who were there now.
The ten patrols led by Gong Long were a total of eleven people.
Tang Xiangyu and I, a total of two people.
There is also a lone Li Qiang.
The three parties add up to a total of fourteen people.
"Now there are fourteen people, and everyone is using cinnabar on their left arm for fourteen times, and if there is any change in the number of people, we will all be able to know." I said hurriedly, and then handed out the cinnabar.
When everyone had finished painting the cinnabar, we walked forward again, and if we wanted to break the wall, we had to know what the ghost wanted to hit the wall.
……
After another cycle, I stopped at the position where I had thrown the yellow charm for the first time.
"Shhh For some reason, I couldn't help but shiver.
"I didn't expect a person to go through the ghost wall so many times and not study the ghost wall thoroughly, is my technology regressing, or is this ghost hitting the wall too difficult to crack?" I touched my chin with my left hand, looking puzzled.
But out of the corner of my eye, I saw fourteen cinnabar spots on my arm.
"What does this mean? Why do I have cinnabar all over my arms? "I knocked on my head, and why am I the only one who went down to Zhaoling... That's not right.
I shook my head, I couldn't remember how I could go down to Zhaoling by myself.
"Forget it, let's break this ghost wall first." I sighed and continued walking towards the brick road with no end in sight.
But this time, the ghost broke the wall.
There was an extra corner in front of me, and through this corner, I saw a row of tombs side by side, which seemed to be the princess and courtiers who were buried with Li Shimin.
I don't have any greed for these burial chambers, I just have to go through them and I can get to ......
Wait, the former Li Lizhi and Princess Changle are also buried here, so if I find the tomb of Princess Changle, will I be able to know if what Li Rouya said is true?
I shook my head violently, whether what Li Rouya said was true, I don't have time to prove it now, after all, I want to leave the Zhaoling Tomb within the agreed time.
I took a breath and walked through the burial chamber to the White Tiger Gate.
In the White Tiger Gate, there are two stone men wearing white armor, and if you want to pass through the White Tiger Gate and walk to the center, that is, the main tomb where Li Shimin is buried, you must pass through these two white armor stone men guarding the door.
I held the Seven Star Dragon Yuan in my hand and walked slowly towards the Baijia Stone Man.
I'm ready, as soon as this stone man moves, I'll fight back and enter the main burial chamber!
In the tomb of Zhaoling, not to mention that the stone man can move, even if the coffin board flies up and smashes me, I believe it.
Move your feet slowly and assume a defensive stance...
The moment I stepped into the White Tiger Gate, the stone man raised the knife in front of me and moved!
