Chapter 698: Quicksand in the Tomb
The cow supervisor reprimanded, "What are you daydreaming about? Where are the stones shedding tears? ”
Then, when the cow supervisor came over, after taking a closer look, he was surprised: "This is dragon oil, quick!" Extinguish the candle! ”
Fortunately, the cow supervisor reminded him in time, and the fire and candles in the stone room were all extinguished quickly. Otherwise, if the dragon oil is stained with a fire candle, it will ignite a raging fire and may even explode.
Niu Jian Zheng was afraid and happy.
What I am afraid of is that if the dragon oil explodes, then I will definitely die. Happily, there is dragon oil buried in the middle of this stone wall, indicating that there must be another cave behind it.
"From now on, everyone should be careful not to use candles. When the dragon oil is clean, bring some dirt down from the outside and bury the dragon oil. ”
The cow supervisor was preparing to wait for the dragon oil to run out before digging the stone wall.
After about three hours, the dragon oil finally ran out, but it was already evening. In the light of the night pearl, I have to take a look.
The guard said: "Lord Niu, why don't you go up first, wait for dawn tomorrow, and then come down to see?" ”
Niu Jian Zheng nodded, no matter how much he said that the light would be better during the day, and he would be able to see more accurately when he dug at that time. However, because of the dragon oil, Niu Jian planned not to use fire candles in the future, so as not to have accidents.
Just as the cattle warden was about to leave, they suddenly heard a slight "creaking" sound.
The sound made Niu Jian Zheng frown, and it sounded like the sound of some kind of mechanism activating. But just now, they obviously didn't move anything!
How could it be possible to touch the mechanism?
Just as the cow supervisor was in a daze, there was a "rustling" sound on the top of the stone chamber and around it.
One of the guards exclaimed, "Lord Niu! Where does the sand come from? ”
I saw that from the place where the fire dragon oil flowed out just now, large grains of sand quickly poured out. Coupled with the top of the other stone chambers, there were sand particles overflowing all around, and in a blink of an eye, the sand grains were buried to the knees.
The cattle supervisor was frightened and rushed desperately to the place where the rope ladder was placed.
But now that the people in the stone room, all the hopes of life, are pointing to this rope ladder, how can they easily let the cow supervisor grab it?
The consequence of everyone fighting for each other is that the grains of sand have risen to their waists in a blink of an eye, and it is already very difficult for them to move.
simply shouted desperately below: "Pull me up!" ”
But the people guarding the exit above only heard the commotion below, and some strange rustling sounds. I didn't know that the cow prison was violently destroying the tomb, and it would trigger the mechanism and attract sand, so I didn't take it seriously.
Later, when they could see the grains of sand with the naked eye, they realized that there was an accident in the stone chamber below.
In this way, the soldiers on duty above worked hard to pull the rope ladder out. But the rope ladder was empty, there was nothing.
When Yang Yin and Ye Shisan rushed to the mountainside, they saw that the place where the rope ladder was put was now completely covered by sand.
The two looked at each other, and they were both surprised, but they didn't expect that the stone room really had a mechanism.
"What about the people below?"
Yang Yin asked with a glimmer of hope, hoping that when the sand grains began to fill the pit, the people above would be able to rescue Niu Jianzheng.
The soldiers guarding it could only reply: "Lord Huiyang, when we find out, the rope ladder can no longer be pulled." The cattle supervisor was down there, and none of them came out. ”
Ye Shisan looked at Yang Yin and said angrily: "I said a long time ago that the mechanism under this stone room is ingenious, and it can only be outwitted, not forced. Now they've triggered the trap, and all the stone chambers are covered in quicksand. How to find Marshal Xiao? ”
Yang Yin didn't expect that the designer of this mountain tomb would be so vicious.
If it is they who find the main tomb to open the coffin and loot the beloved things of the tomb owner, you will leave everyone behind, and it is understandable.
But at present, it has not even been discovered where the main burial chamber is. Just casually chiseled a few stone walls, how can you encounter quicksand traps.
Yang Yin was a little bored and said: "This quicksand should have buried the entire mountain tomb." It turns out that this is the last resort of the tomb owner to prevent theft. ”
"What about Marshal Xiao?"
Ye Shisan was still unwilling to give up, Yang Yin looked at the sand full of pits, and said with a smile: "Lord Ye, according to the current situation, even if Marshal Xiao is still in the tomb in the mountain. But now it's probably gone. ”
Ye Shisan was unwilling to accept this result.
"Since Lord Yang thinks that Marshal Xiao has no chance of survival, then there is no need to put me under house arrest again. Just let me stay at the foot of Baojing Mountain, even if I want to move this mountain, I will find his body. ”
Yang Yin stretched out his hand, grabbed a handful of sand, and sniffed it at the end of his nose.
Only then did he say to Ye Shisan: "If Lord Ye thinks that Marshal Xiao still has a chance of surviving, then stay at the foot of the mountain and dig slowly." I will leave a hundred men to help you, and if the time comes, if you dig them up and the cattle warden correct their corpses, please leave them to me to arrange." ”
Ye Shisan is persistent to the end, since he was entrusted by Princess Mingzhu to find Xiao Yao. Then whether it is life or death, he will bring people back.
When the news that the stone chamber was buried by quicksand on the side of Yumen Pass, it was transmitted back to the capital, and several parties were shaken.
Empress Dowager Zhong's last hope was also dashed. Because even if Xiao Yao doesn't die and hides in the tomb in the mountains, he can't escape the quicksand and bury.
Both the Gu family and the Zhong family have people in Yumen Pass, and the information they get is more accurate. Xiao Yao, he really can't come back.
After learning the news, the happiest person was Yan Rongling.
Although it is said that this time, it will lose twenty or thirty good players, but it can be completely broken, and Xiao Yao's vitality is also a good deal in Yan Rongling's opinion.
However, everyone invariably hid it from Gu Fanghua.
It seems to be calm in the capital, but in fact, it is turbulent in private. Yan Shaoxun, who had been dormant for a long time, finally found an opportunity.
Yan Shaoxun had already guessed that Emperor Hong Zheng must be fine, but he was just under house arrest by Yan Rongling.
If he can rescue Emperor Hong Zheng, then Emperor Hong Zheng's opinion of her will definitely improve greatly. Besides, the crown prince's house arrest of the emperor is equivalent to killing the monarch, and when Emperor Hong Zheng recovers his power, he will definitely not let Yan Rongling go.
Although Yan Rongling put Emperor Hong Zheng under house arrest, he did everything according to Emperor Hong Zheng's original specifications.
Emperor Hong Zheng was a little irritable except for the beginning, when he didn't read it. Later, I slowly got used to such a leisurely life.
So when Emperor Hong Zheng saw Yan Shaoxun dressed as a little chamberlain and kneeling in front of him, he couldn't tell what he was feeling in his heart for a while.
"Father, my son is late! Let you be wronged these days, and your sons deserve to die! ”
Yan Shaoxun was overjoyed when he saw Emperor Hong Zheng, and expressed his excitement with twelve points of admiration.
Emperor Hong Zheng came back to his senses and looked at Yan Shaoxun with a somewhat complicated expression. In this way, is it out? Or don't you go out?
