Chapter 34: Covert Spying

Huzi and I continued to walk forward, while shining a strong flashlight upward, and the more we walked, the more frightened we became. This tomb is simply exhaustive, almost the entire mountain is hollowed out, all the load-bearing walls are the mountain itself, the road and the stone room are hard to dig out, where people can walk, are separated by this transparent jade plate. In other words, this tomb is divided into two layers, one layer on the top and one layer on the bottom.

We have already passed through two burial chambers, and from the bottom up, there is a bronze tripod in each burial chamber, and there is nothing in it that cannot be seen from the bottom up. But one thing is the same, these burial chambers have mechanisms.

Take the previous stone chamber as an example, the beast-shaped stone carving with four corners of the bronze tripod looks hollow from below, and a copper kettle is hung from some kind of metal wire. I have seen a rough description of this kind of mechanism in some tomb classics before, saying that once someone enters the tomb, according to the vibration, the wire will break, the beast's mouth stone ball will be spit out, and the white phosphorus sealed in the copper pot will splatter out, and this white phosphorus will spontaneously combust when it comes into contact with the air at room temperature, even if it is not sprayed on the body, this substance will instantly consume the air, and if it is not burned to death, it will suffocate to death, and no one on the spot can escape.

I'm still a little glad at this time, if I and Huzi are on the road above, it is still unknown whether I can control the treasure in the bronze tripod. Once you are greedy, you may have to bury the owner of the tomb.,These mechanisms are different from the arrows in the tomb before.,It can be said that it completely captures people's psychology.。 Entering the tomb is for the treasure, often people at this time the most lax guard, once the move is bound to be hit.

Although Huzi also discovered these mechanisms, he still discussed with me a little thief: "Brother, you said that we should make a hole in the jade plate on the ceiling, and then also open a hole under the copper tripod, and use the wire to hook out, what is the matter?" Let's not be greedy, let's withdraw if we get one or two pieces, the tomb owner is so rich that he won't have the same knowledge as the two of us, right? ”

I was a little alive by what he said, but after thinking about it, I rejected the idea. The jade slab can bear such a heavy weight, and such a large bronze tripod is safe and sound on it, indicating that it is not ordinarily strong. The jade used here is definitely different from the one we used to cut with a glass knife, and the jade wall in the pit before was full of cracks, and I felt like I could break it with a single punch.

Huzi complained about the trip in vain while following me, and I persuaded him that money is something outside the body, and nothing is important to be safe, not only to persuade him, but also to persuade myself, after all, I am also poor.

Walking and walking, there was a sudden sound of walking and talking from above, and the tiger subconsciously wanted to take a strong flashlight to shine, I grabbed the flashlight and turned it off, and at the same time made a silent gesture to the tiger. At this moment, the originally dark secret passage was reflected by the light scattered overhead, and we found that a group of people had entered the tomb above, about seven or eight.

At the head was a short, short dwarf who walked in front with a miner's lamp in his hand, and the rest of the people followed. We can't see their facial features clearly from this angle, but this dwarf is very familiar to me both in terms of figure and clothing, and it is Zhang Ye. It's still quite scary to look up at people from below, I can only see big nostrils and eye bags, especially Zhang Ye himself looks quite cold, and I am starting to feel a little sick to my stomach when I see it. I said why babies always cry when they are feeding, and their feelings are like this······

Zhang Ye took this group of people to the front of a wall, these people stopped and began to talk in a whisper, we can only see their gagging mouth but can't hear the sound clearly by the miner's lamp in his hand, it seems that the structure of the jade slab is still quite tight. The gang chattered for two or three minutes, and finally Zhang Ye took out a pair of parchment rolls, which were almost transparent from below, and seemed to be a map.

The more I looked at this map, the more familiar it became, and finally I took out my phone, opened the bird's-eye view of the ancient tomb in the album, and compared it and found that it didn't seem to be it. Huzi snatched my phone at this time, then clicked on it in the image editor and handed it to me, and I was shocked when I saw it. It turned out to be exactly the same as the map in Zhang Ye's hand, and it turned out that his map was reversed from my point of view.

Looking closely, Zhang Ye's map is more detailed, and each tomb is marked with small characters, with crosses drawn in some places and circles drawn with red pens in some places. Huzi and I looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes, and I even wondered if Zhang Ye had also come down, but I thought about it and felt impossible. Because there is only a bowl of weak water in front of the door, how could he have poured it on my head if he had come in?

After looking at it for a long time, Zhang Ye dotted a red circle on the map with his finger, and then pointed to the southwest wall of the tomb. One of the men nodded, and led the three of them to the wall to grope for a while, and then picked along the crack in the wall, and the wall was sunken in, and a gap appeared that could accommodate one person. The four of them disappeared into the gap one after another, and after about half a minute, the stone wall slowly closed again.

Huzi and I looked in the direction where the four of them had disappeared, and correspondingly, the secret passage below happened to have a fork in the road at this location. Zhang Ye took the remaining two people and continued to walk along the corridor, and as they walked farther and farther, until they disappeared around a corner, the secret passage fell into darkness again.

I waited cautiously for another half minute before turning on the flashlight again, but I didn't dare to shine up, but wrapped it in my sleeve so that I could see the way. Huzi also let out a sigh of relief, and asked me in a low voice: "What do you say this Zhang Ye is doing?" The map in his hand is more detailed than the one on the mural, and besides, the surname Zhang was alone just now, so where did he get seven or eight of them? Even if it's the thief hole, there aren't so many? Could it be that Qin Wuye was really killed by him? These people came in late? ”

Huzi's continuous questions confused me, according to what Chang Xiangjiu said, the two gangs of people at the cave thief had already clashed, and only two of Zhang Ye's people ran out, so how did these seven or eight people appear in front of him? If it was those two people who called them, then they would definitely meet Changqingzi, Dianzao, and the bronze armored corpse as they came in.

Let's not talk about whether Yi Changqingzi and the ability of the pawn will be easily killed, the mechanism that flipped the wall before was discovered by Zhang Ye first, and he ran into one of the three passages first. If these horses were on the same road as us, they would have met Qin Wuye before joining Zhang Ye, could it be that they had killed Qin Wuye as well? I instinctively felt that it was impossible, judging from Qin Wuye's ability to repel the bronze armored corpse with one palm, our group of people together may not be able to withstand it. Then there is another possibility, these people have dug another hole for thieves.

Although there are several layers of anti-theft mezzanine on the periphery of this tomb, it is not difficult to do this with Zhang Ye's understanding of this place, before Qin Wuye said that the tomb has not been able to enter, I am afraid that it is also Zhang Ye's ghost, I just don't know why he delayed time.

Huzi looked at the people and horses divided into two directions and asked me what to do, do you still need to think about it, it must be following Zhang Ye. What does it have to do with the two of us even if he sets any traps, it is Qin Wuye and them who are unlucky, we just need to monitor. Huzi nodded, and the two of us cautiously chased forward, hanging at the feet of Zhang Ye not far away.

Zhang Ye took the remaining two people around, glancing at the sheepskin map in his hand from time to time, and he was familiar with this place as if he was in his own backyard. His purpose is clear, all traps can be cleverly avoided, and the route he chooses is the shortest path to the main tomb. Huzi and I took off our coats and wrapped up our shoes, and although the jade slabs were well insulated, we were still cautious and were discovered.

"Don't you think it's all too coincidental?" Huzi and I were following Zhang Ye's follow, and Zhou Tong suddenly said this in my heart. I didn't understand what he was trying to say, so I subconsciously replied, "What's the coincidence?" Are you saying that Zhang Ye has a map? ”

Zhou Tong said that this was just one of them, the map looked like an old thing, but he had a gut feeling that Zhang Ye should have just gotten it not long ago, and even Qin Wuye knew that it was about the same time that Zhang Ye got this ancient tomb. If the surname Zhang had already had this map, he could have come by himself, and there was no reason to take the bus of Qin Wuye, which would add a lot of variables.

I thought about it and felt that Zhou Tong's analysis was very reasonable, but I still didn't understand what he wanted to say, so let him continue. Zhou Tong said that the most important thing is not these, he feels that it is the most incomprehensible thing that we can come to this secret passage. If we are watching the people above below and feel that we are behind the scenes, is it possible that we are also being watched?

I was a little creepy by his words, and my heart was excited, and I subconsciously asked him: "We are being watched?" Who is spying on us? ”

"Then I don't know, it may be the owner of the tomb, or the current owner of this tomb." Zhou Tongyin laughed and said meaningfully.

I was completely confused by him, and asked him for some reason: "Brother Zhou, what are you talking about here?" What is the owner of the tomb and the current owner of this tomb? ”

Zhou Tong didn't speak for a long time, then sighed and said, "I don't understand either, I just feel that something is wrong." Think about it, a 3,000-year-old tomb, is the layout a little too advanced? I dare say that none of you in your age can do this. Besides, the surname Zhang and the surname Qin are obviously not in the same group, needless to say, they obviously walked together for this tomb. With the ability of the surname Qin, it is impossible not to see that the surname Zhang has different intentions, so there must be a last resort reason why he let him in. So what is the reason why the ancient tomb that has been buried deep in the ground for so long has been discovered by so many people at the same time? How do you get the map? How does the surname Qin know about the ancient tomb? The pawn monk defends Qin Wuye everywhere, and the security team is not an ordinary person, why are they willing to give their lives to the surnamed Qin? Don't say what's going on with Changqingzi and Dianzuo, Sun Zilin hasn't done anything since he came in, why did the surnamed Qin invite him to come? ”
