The beard crouched on the edge of the chrysalis and didn't know what to think, and this sudden predicament made us all fall into deep thought.

I looked at the drawing and suddenly felt that something was wrong, so I patted my beard and asked him to come over, pointed to this chrysalis hole and said, "Look, this place should be considered a dangerous area, but this route has avoided dangerous areas before, why not this time?" We're definitely on the wrong track. ”

Hu Zi shook his head after looking at the drawings for a while, pointed to the square area in the center of the drawings and said: "No, you look at this square area, it should be the center of this tomb, you see that the surrounding area of this square area is full of big red crosses, I think so, these danger marks around the square area should be the last line of defense of the main tomb, this line of defense will not be flawed, that is, no matter how correct the route is taken before, you must pass through this last line of defense to reach the square area." ”

I thought about it, understood the meaning of the beard, and then took a breath of cold air and said, "Are you saying that if we take the right route and encounter a dangerous area, then this area must be a point on the last line of defense, right?"

Beard nodded: "That's pretty much what it means, if this speculation is correct, then through this chrysalis hole, we can go directly to that square area." ”

I thought it made sense for the beard, but the question was how do we get through this chrysalis hole? Look at those insect cocoons, they must be full of that kind of beetle, as long as we step on them, the consequences are unimaginable, unless we can fly.

The beard snorted, frowned and stopped talking.

We came up with several options, all of which were rejected after deliberation.

The first solution is to make a thief hole to bypass this chrysalis hole, but this area is sandwiched in the rock formation, we don't have the tools, and it is almost impossible to make a thief hole in the rock formation, even if we have tools, this kind of engineering is unacceptable to us.

The second option is to find other routes connecting the square area on the drawing, which was later found to be unrealistic after all, looking at the entire drawing, only we now have this route to avoid all the danger areas, and the other passages leading to the square area are painted with red crosses.

Other options sound more irrational and more dangerous. I thought about it, and it seemed that I noticed that something was wrong, so I picked up the drawings and carefully studied them, and suddenly remembered something.

Hu Zi glanced at me, probably sensing that my mood had changed, and hurriedly said: "If you kid has any fart, let it go, don't suffocate your body." ”

I cursed and said, "I'm still a little skeptical about our route, you see, all the danger areas are marked on the drawing, but there is one thing that is not marked, guess what?" ”

The beard was a little impatient and said, "Guess the fart, don't talk about it, hurry up and say what?" ”

I wanted to hang his appetite, but I didn't expect to touch a nail and laugh at you to make my master feel a little sense of achievement? I mean, are those leeches dangerous? If it counts, but it is not marked on the route, doesn't that prove that the route is wrong?

Beard rolled his eyes, suddenly slapped his head, and shouted, "yes, how the hell did I forget this thing!" "After that, I pulled it up and walked back.

I exhaled, and said in my heart that you had finally reacted, so I grabbed my beard and said, "Let's not hurry back first, let's carefully study the drawings and find out the correct route." ”

The beard said: "What are you looking for, I don't think there is any right way for the fuck." ”

What do you mean?

"I thought about it carefully just now, this tomb is definitely not Chen Guotai's, the original drawing of the drawing in your hand must be something before Chen Guotai's time, so the things on this drawing are not credible." Seeing that I didn't understand, Beard pointed to a marker next to the square area on the drawing, then looked at me intently and said, "Terra—Cottawarriors." ”

At the same time, I looked at him intently, almost squeezing out a sentence from between my teeth: "What do you mean?" "I almost choked him to death.

After the beard fell through me, he said: "This English translation into Chinese is called terracotta warriors, you think, Chen Guotai is a figure in the Ming and Qing dynasties, but after the Qin and Han dynasties, the martyrdom system was banned, the terracotta warrior technology was lost, and the tombs after that will definitely not have this thing." ”

I seem to understand what Hu Zi said, but I can't grasp the main point, and I still have some doubts in my heart, the existence of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses means that this is not Chen Guotai's tomb? Maybe this terracotta warrior was also stolen by Chen Guotai's tomb robbery?

Hu Zi shook his head: "You don't know much about tomb robbers, dealing with the dead, that's called pinning your head to the waistband of your trousers, entering a bucket, only taking valuable small pieces, even if the large pieces are worth a lot of money, no one dares to touch them, not to mention the antiques in the Ming vessels, terracotta figurines are the least valuable, of course, that is in the past, it is impossible for a tomb robber of Chen Guotai's level to steal that thing, and you look at the location of this marked place, which is very consistent with the system of martyrdom or martyrdom in the tombs of the Qin and Han dynasties, so this cannot be Chen Guotai's tomb." ”

I was just about to speak, when Hu Zi waved his hand and motioned for me to finish: "Think about it, the scale of this tomb is not small, Chen Guotai was only the leader of a small group of anti-Qing and Ming restoration organizations and tomb robbers at that time, is she capable of building a cemetery of this scale?" And in the Qing Dynasty, this area belonged to the foundation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, no matter how good Chen Guotai was, he would never dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head, and a ** leader built such a large-scale tomb project in the birthplace of government politics, isn't that looking for death? It's the same nature as when you go up to building a skyscraper in Washington. And I thought carefully about what I saw along the way, and concluded that this tomb not only did not belong to Chen Guotai, but also did not belong to one person. As he spoke, he spread the drawings on the ground and said: "You see, the outermost building structure and features are obviously from the Ming and Qing dynasties, and then from the Tang and Song dynasties, and then from the Qin and Han dynasties at the latest." ”

I gradually understood what Hu Zi said, looking at his serious expression, it was obvious that he was not talking nonsense or showing off, maybe he had really realized the seriousness of the problem, but I still didn't understand what this had to do with the drawings, although there were terracotta warriors and horses marked on the drawings, it could not be said that the drawings were from the era of the terracotta warriors!

Hu Zi pointed to our route and said: "The most obvious suspicion is that there is no leech marked on it, which means that this drawing existed before the leech came in, and the leech was brought in by Chen Guotai, so it proves that the original drawing of this drawing must be something before Chen Guotai at that time." ”

I shook my head and said that your reasoning sounds reasonable, but it's too far-fetched. The leech is a living thing, it cannot stay in a fixed area and not move, since it is active, it is impossible to determine its location, and it cannot be marked at all.

"Impossible!" Hu Zi retorted: "Foreigners are serious about their work, it is impossible for something as dangerous as a leech not to be marked, even if it can't be marked as something that is active, at least there must be a hint, right?" But you see that none of the words on the drawings about leeches appear. ”

I thought about it, too, although I understood what Hu Zi said, but I still felt confused after such a big circle, I didn't understand the ancient tomb or anything, even if I wanted to burst my head, I couldn't think of a reason, but I would make myself more and more confused, so I simply took one step at a time, so I asked Hu Zi: "Then what is your plan?" ”

Hu Zi said: "My idea is that the things on the drawings are no longer reliable anyway, so we might as well go all the way to the dark." As he spoke, he pulled me back, talking about his plan: "I thought of a dangerous trick to get through the chrysalis hole, I don't know if it works, but it's worth trying." ”

I wondered, what's the risk? Why did you put it back when you decided to go through the chrysalis hole? You're not trying to run and jump over, are you? I think it's better to forget it, what the hell is this dangerous trick, isn't this just looking for death!

Beard laughed and scolded: "Fart, you!" Master Hu, am I so stupid? I just heard you say that, and I remembered the leech, which can help us both get through the chrysalis hole. ”

He said to me: "What? Can it help us? It's all been killed by my dad, how can I help it? Could it be that there are other leeches alive here? ”

"You don't understand that, do you?" Hu Zi smiled proudly: "Historically, the livestock sacrificed or buried in the ancient tombs are dead, especially the hairy animals such as cats and dogs are never allowed to appear in the cemetery, because these things are the easiest to open the corpse, but do you know why it is okay for such things to stay in the tomb?" ”

I thought to myself, how the fuck do I know, you can do something other than show off, don't you? Lao Tzu hates that others always hang my appetite with words, and today Lao Tzu suppressed his curiosity and did not cooperate with you.

Seeing that I didn't react, Hu Zi was bored, and said with a dry cough: "That's because although the leech is demonic, its yin qi is extremely heavy, so it generally does not open the corpse, which is why the craftsmen who touched gold in ancient times dared to bring them to the bucket." ”

I choked my lips and said, "You talked a lot, but I still didn't say how to get the leech to help." ”

The beard laughed proudly, then suddenly his face changed, he looked at me nervously, quickly drew his short sword and said, "Shhh ”
