Chapter Twenty-Nine: Exploring the Ancient Tomb

Han Run turned his head, looked at the two of them solemnly and said: "As soon as a person steps on this ladder, the quicksand will begin to leak down, the speed is unimaginable to you, this mechanism can't be stopped, after going down, you will see two roads, you can go either way, it is the same way, so you must pass quickly when the quicksand buries the entrance." ”

Tang Changyu and Liuning nodded at Han Run to show that they understood, and the three planned that Tang Changyu would walk in the front, Liuning would follow, and Han Run would walk in the end.

Tang Changyu carefully stepped on the first staircase, and the yellow quicksand flowed down one after another, only making people feel that their eyes were full of yellow, Tang Changyu passed this staircase with lightning speed, jumped onto the passage on the right, and then Liu Ning also jumped over, not wanting the two of them to look back, but found that Han Run was going down the stairs slowly and calmly, Tang Changyu and Liu Ning were very surprised, Liu Ning shouted: "Han Run, what are you doing, hurry up." ”

Han Run's laughter turned into a miserable laugh, and with a faint mockery of himself, he said to Liuning and Tang Changyu in a calm tone that he had never felt before: "You guys are really fateful, originally this mechanism I designed only reserved time for one person to pass, but I didn't expect the two of you to pass." ”

Tang Changyu and Liuning were both shocked, watching the yellow sand bury half of Han Run's body, but Han Run still said with an unchanged face: "This is my greatest pride at this time, and I can sleep here for a long time, and I can be regarded as a well-deserved death." It's just you, you guys! Without me, you can't get out at all, you will die here, but it's a pity that no more people can die here, I, Han Run, are waiting for you on Huangquan Road. After saying that, the cold voice disappeared into the long yellow sand.

Tang Changyu and Liuning suddenly felt that they were in deep danger, the small palace in front of them had been filled with yellow sand, the two could not turn back, they could only continue to move forward, the passage on the right was a little narrow, Tang Changyu held Liuning's hand and walked in front of Liuning, and it didn't take long to reach a bright palace.

This palace room is very large, the middle is a cold black lacquered coffin, on both sides are placed two one-and-a-half-person high bronze mirrors, the mirror edge is gilded, the carved phoenix is lifelike, there is a closed stone door on the left and right sides of the palace room, there is a long corridor in front of it, so that people can not see the end, there are all kinds of iron, bronze, porcelain on the ground, the styles are varied, people look dazzled, the dome above the head is inlaid with hundreds of night pearls of all sizes, shining in this darkness, Illuminate the palace room as bright as daytime.

Tang Changyu and Liuning looked around the entire palace room, and couldn't help but gasp at the same time, looking at each other and looking at each other. It turned out that they walked to the front of the road on the left, but saw that the entrance to the passage on the left had been tightly sealed by bricks and stones, and the two of them couldn't help but feel palpitations, and also sighed that God favored them, if they had strayed into the passage on the left because they had listened to Han Run's words just now, Tang Changyu and Liuning would have been trapped in the passage where both ends were sealed.

Tang Changyu patted Liuning's shoulder, making her come back to her senses in this series of shocks, and the two of them began to calm down and analyze the current situation.

Tang Changyu looked around and said to Liuning: "Looking at Han Run's appearance, maybe the exit that Zhao Nan told Zhao Nan before that they answered may also be fake, but fortunately, the structure of this tomb should not be complicated, this should be the place where Han Run stores treasures, let's take a look first, open the door of the left and right side halls, and then find the way out." ”

Liu Ning nodded a little uneasily, the words that Han Run said before jumping into the yellow sand seemed to be lingering in his ears, Tang Changyu could see the uneasiness in Liu Ning's heart, shook Liu Ning's hand vigorously and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, we will definitely be able to get out." ”

The two walked to the door of the left side hall first, and a big lock was locked on the door, Tang Changyu took the sword in Liuning's hand and wanted to split the big lock, but Liuning stopped Tang Changyu, she felt that with Han Run's mind, there would not be such a simple mechanism in this place where he had spent his life's work. The two of them looked at the door again and found that the pattern on the door was a little messy.

"Could it be that you want to put these messy patterns together?" Liu Ning turned his head and asked Tang Changyu, looked at the two stone doors again, and hesitated a little, "But there is no gap between these stones at all, how can this large stone move." ”

Tang Changyu listened to Liuning's words and felt that what she said was very reasonable, touched the stone door with his hand, and touched the big lock, made an unexpected discovery, repeated experiments many times, and finally determined that when the lock was moving, something seemed to be trembling slightly inside the stone, and Tang Changyu still decided to split the lock.

Tang Changyu told Liuning about his discovery and decision, and asked Liuning to wait in a place far away from the stone wall first, but Liuning did not agree, but played his own little scoundrel at this tense time, and quibbled: "We don't know what this mechanism looks like at all, who knows if it will be more dangerous to stay away from the stone gate, or it is safest to stay by your side." ”

Tang Changyu was helpless, when it was so dangerous, Liuning was still a rare coquette, he was so willing that he could only smile and compromise,

Repeatedly told Liuning to be careful, he held his breath, and stared at the big lock with the sword in his hand, between the fire and light stones, and the big lock was broken in half.

As the big lock landed, only the sound of swishing was heard, and one after another arrows flew out of nowhere, flying straight towards the two, and the two did not dare to hesitate, and immediately began to resist these flying horizontal arrows. The rain of arrows became more and more dense and extremely fast, but it was only concentrated near the stone gate. Tang Changyu saw that this situation could no longer be fought hard, but he had no time to get out, so he could only fight to the death. Tang Changyu found the right time to pounce on Liuning, and the two rolled to the ground together and hid behind the mirror. Tang Changyu suffered an arrow wound on his shoulder, and Liuning's arm was grazed by the arrow, leaving a deep scratch.

In this temporarily safe place, the mirror blocked the flying arrows, Tang Changyu gritted his teeth and pulled out the arrows, and Liu Ning tore off a piece of his clothes to carefully bandage Tang Changyu's wounds, and then bandaged himself to stop the bleeding. It didn't take long for the rain of arrows to finally stop, and the ground was full of arrows. The two looked outside, and made sure that the rain of arrows had stopped before going out. When I walked to the gate, there was a gap between the messy patterns.

Tang Changyu and Liuning worked together to rearrange and combine the stones, and finally restored the original appearance of the patterns on the stone wall. This is an extremely bewitching-looking flower, the stone door slowly opened, a little bit of light was too dazzling to make Tang Changyu and Liuning a little difficult to look at directly, until the door was all opened, Tang Changyu and Liuning were once again shocked by the scene in front of them, the whole room, all piled up with gold bars, this is really incredible.

After repeatedly confirming that there were no other passages or hidden mechanisms in this room, the two of them took a short break and walked to the stone door on the right.

The two came to the door on the right, and Liu Ning shouted in surprise: "Zhuge Lock? ”

Tang Changyu looked at the strange thing on the door and asked, "Do you know this strange thing?" ”

Liuning nodded and explained: "When I was a child, Chu Chu especially liked to study these strange things to play, so I played with her, and I studied this Zhuge lock with her at that time, but too much time has passed, and I'm not sure if I remember it." ”

Tang Changyu patted Liuning and comforted: "It's okay, don't be afraid, just try your best." ”

Liuning nodded, focused all his energy on this Zhuge lock, and said to himself while unraveling: "Next three, last next, two next five, one up, two next, up?" Upper two? ”

Liuning hesitated a little, but found that a little silver-white liquid appeared in the place where the wall was recessed, and the two of them originally thought that this groove was the decoration of this door, but they didn't expect an unknown liquid to appear. Liu Ning stretched out his hand to touch the silver-white liquid, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, Tang Changyu hit him and retracted it, Tang Changyu frowned slightly and explained: "Don't move, this is mercury." ”

"Mercury?" Liuning was puzzled.

"Mercury is supposed to be a control mechanism, I guess it should be that if you solve it wrong, mercury will appear, and if this groove is filled with mercury, it will trigger some mechanism that we don't know about." After thinking about it carefully, Tang Changyu came to such a conclusion about Liuning.

Liu Ning didn't answer, Tang Changyu knew that his speculation put a lot of pressure on Liu Ning, Liu Ning's hand was a little trembling and picked up the Zhuge lock again, Tang Changyu's hand gently covered Liu Ning's hand, looked at Liu Ning and said softly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”

Liuning looked at Tang Changyu's gaze, Tang Changyu's eyes were indissolvably gentle, Liuning was also full of tenderness in his eyes, smiled sweetly, and continued to talk to himself and began to unlock: "It's not the upper two, it should be the upper three, next, what's next, previous, next, two, down, up Previous, second, six, previous, two, next, three, previous, next, two, fourth, previous, two, lower, three, previous, next, two, five, previous, two, next, three, previous, next, two, lower, third, previous, lower, two, lower, What's next? "After some twists and turns, Liuning missed a few more times halfway, and the mercury in the groove was almost filled, maybe one more wrong step would trigger the mechanism.

Liu Ning set his eyes on Tang Changyu, patted his head with his hand in annoyance, and said, "I'm not sure, what to do, there will be no problem after this step is right." ”

Tang Changyu gently took away Liuning's hand, let Liuning look directly at him, and said firmly: "Don't be afraid, I believe in you." ”

Liu Ning said hesitantly: "Lower four." His eyes were fixed on the groove, and the moment he saw that the mercury did not rise, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then did the final work: "Up, two, down, three, up, down, two, nine." ”

Finally, Zhuge lock opened, and the mercury in the groove was almost stationary, Tang Changyu and Liu Ning cheered happily, and the two happily hugged each other and turned around, and after the excitement, the two of them pushed the stone door together.

However, the stone gate did not move.
