Chapter 57: Relying on the Prince's Protection
Su Li's words seemed to be answering Feiying, but in fact, he was quietly provoking Xiao Zhihan.
He and Yan Xi dared to break into the general's tomb, compared to Xiao Zhihan, who brought more than a dozen guards, the recognition of self-protection ability was obvious.
Hearing Su Li's words, Xiao Zhihan's face instantly turned cold.
What is this Su Li's thoughts, two or three provocations?
"Feiying, you're too worried, Su Li's ability is great."
Yan Xi was thinking about the mastery of the general's tomb with all his heart, where could he care about observing Xiao Zhihan's expression. Hearing the conversation between Feiying and Su Li, he added without thinking.
"Really?"
Xiao Zhihan, who was still thinking about whether he had a holiday with Su Li, heard Yan Xi's words at first glance, and an indescribable feeling came to his heart.
Yan Xi finally noticed the change in Xiao Zhihan's mood, remembered what he had just done, and couldn't wait to slap himself.
If he offends Xiao Zhihan, his temper will come up, and he will resolutely not let Su Li go with him, it will be miserable. At this time, where can she find another way?
Yan Xi rolled his eyes, walked to Xiao Zhihan's side, and said coquettishly, "Of course, the prince is the most powerful, and after entering, you have to rely on the prince to protect you." ”
Xiao Zhihan turned his head expressionlessly, ignoring the people behind him.
Looking at Xiao Zhihan's back, Yan Xi pursed his lips.
Dead arrogant, obviously it was very cool to be shun, what kind of arrogance is it?
Seeing that Xiao Zhihan had already entered the cave, Yan Xi immediately followed, and Su Li also followed in quickly.
Under the leadership of Flying Shadow, the guards covered the entrance to the cave and entered the cave one after another.
Inside the cave was a long, narrow passageway, the narrowest of which could only allow the next person to bend over, and the wide area was just enough for one person to walk upright.
walked forward for a long time, so long that Yan Xi thought that his waist was about to break, and a faint light appeared in front of him. The farther you go, the brighter the light becomes.
Yan Xi sped up, walked out of the passage, and entered a cave. The cave is very spacious and can accommodate hundreds of people at the same time. Although it is underground, it is a bright piece of the eye. Yan Xi raised his eyes and found that all these bright lights came from the thousands of night pearls of different sizes inlaid around the cave.
In the light of these night pearls, Yan Xi could see every corner of this cave clearly.
What kind of cave is this, it is clearly a general's camp.
To be precise, it is a burial chamber that is exactly the same as the general's tent.
Directly south of this tomb, there is a bookcase, and there are several general's arrows on the bookcase, which is probably modeled on the scene of General Gu's discussion with his generals during his lifetime.
On the west side of the tomb, there are several pieces of armor of different old and new, and some of the armor can still see traces of sword cutting, which should be General Gu's old belongings.
On the east side of the tomb is a row of bookshelves, on which there are many bamboo slips, which are the books that General Gu often read during his lifetime. There are also a few leather scrolls made of unknown materials, which are probably the maps used by General Gu when he marched back then.
In the center of the burial chamber is a sarcophagus carved with different images on all four sides. Yan Xi stepped forward and looked at the picture on the sarcophagus seriously.
There are four paintings on the sarcophagus.
On the side facing the bookcase, there is a picture of a child learning martial arts. The painting is a picture of a middle-aged man teaching a child to practice martial arts, and the seriousness of the middle-aged man's gestures and the admiration of the child on his face are vividly displayed in the painting.
The side with his back to the bookcase is a picture of a battlefield battle. The painting is a scene of General Gu and his Thousand Killing Battalion fighting bravely to kill the enemy, even if it is engraved on the sarcophagus, Yan Xi can clearly see the embarrassment of their enemies fleeing in all directions.
Leaning on the side of the armor, there is a picture of visiting friends on a spring day. The painting depicts General Gu dressed in civilian clothes and playing in a valley with several men and women of similar age. Looking at the valley, Yan Xi's eyes were familiar tight. If you think about it carefully, it turns out that it is really the back mountain of the Medicine King Valley.
On the side of the weapon rack, there is a picture of the funeral of a hundred officials. The painting depicts eight strong men carrying a sarcophagus out of the imperial city, followed by hundreds of officials. The sarcophagus in the painting is almost exactly the same as the sarcophagus in front of Yan Xi, the only difference is that the sarcophagus in the painting is flat on all sides without any nicks.
There is a lifelike beast carved on the top of the coffin, and the reason why it is said to be a beast is because Yan Xi can't tell what kind of species it is. The beast resembles a horse, but it has a lot of scales on its back and a pair of horns on its head. The beast had a night pearl in its mouth, much better than the night pearls embedded in the walls.
On the floor where the sarcophagus was placed, there were some scattered gold, silver, and jewelry.
The north side of the tomb is the direction that Yan Xi and the others just came in. Except for a passage with no end in sight, there was nothing else.
"This is the place where General Gu's bones are buried."
Feiying and the others quietly breathed a sigh of relief when they saw everything in the tomb clearly.
They thought that there were still many mechanisms in this general's tomb, and they kept carrying their hearts and didn't dare to put them down.
But who would have thought that as soon as he entered here, he would directly see General Gu's coffin. I don't know if it was their luck, or because the craftsmen who built the general's tomb were too confident and thought that the mechanism along the way could stop everyone, so they let go here.
Hearing the words of Feiying and the others, Yan Xi smiled disapprovingly.
If this is a real tomb, she will cut off her head and give them a ball to kick!
General Gu is a legendary general, how can his tomb not be a little exquisite. In Yan Xi's memory, he had never heard of anyone's tomb scattering gold, silver and jewelry all over the ground.
The position of this coffin is also wrong, how it looks like it was placed randomly.
The more powerful the person is, the more particular about these things, and the placement of the coffin should coincide with the birth date of the tomb owner. If the direction is wrong, it will be a disaster for the fortune of the descendants.
Judging from the specifications of this tomb, this General Gu is not an unrefined person.
Moreover, in this burial chamber, there are coffins, armor, books, and gold, silver and jewelry for burial, but one important thing is missing.
In this, there is no weapon of General Gu.
In the picture around the sarcophagus, General Gu has a sword. Even when he visited friends in the Valley of the Medicine King, his sword never left his side. How could he not find his sword in the place of eternal resting behind him.
The more I look at it, the more suspicious this tomb becomes.
All kinds of doubts were put together, and Yan Xi almost didn't have to think much to judge that General Gu's burial place was not here at all.
If General Gu's burial place is not here, then there is only one meaning for the existence of this place.
It's a mechanism that kills the incoming one!
While Yan Xi was thinking, Feiying had already led the guards to carefully inspect every corner of this tomb, in case there were any unexpected dark arrows when the coffin was opened.
Among the guards brought by Xiao Zhihan, there was a man named Liang Zhao, although he was the youngest, he was outstanding in martial arts, and among Xiao Zhihan's guards, he was also at the top level. But after all, a young man who is only sixteen or seventeen is not as sophisticated as Feiying and others.
When Liang Zhao saw that there was no movement in this tomb for a long time, he let down his guard, and when Feiying asked them to check carefully, he walked towards the bookshelf to the east without thinking. Everything else in this chamber can be seen at a glance, but no one knows what is inside the bookshelf except for the books on the shelves.
The young man's curiosity made Liang Zhao can't help but stretch out his hand, and he was about to touch the books on the shelf, but he heard a chuckle from behind.
"If you don't like it, you can touch the things here."
Feiying and the others also heard this chuckle and withdrew their hands in unison.
Liang Zhao turned his head to look at the place where the voice came from, and saw Yan Xi looking at him with a hint of mockery.
"It's so big here, what's the danger. Could it be that he still hides the mechanism in this book? ”
Liang Zhao was already the best among Xiao Zhihan's guards, and his heart was naturally a little higher, and he was used to being held by other older guards on weekdays, and when he saw Yan Xi's ridicule at first glance, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
Yan Xi looked at this tomb for a long time and found many suspicious points, but he still didn't understand where the mechanism of this tomb was located. But her experience and intuition tell her that this place is definitely not that simple. So when she saw that Liang Zhao was about to reach out and touch those books, she immediately stopped her.
Xiao Zhihan also looked over when he heard the voice, and asked Yan Xi with his eyes.
When Su Li heard Yan Xi's words, he also looked at Yan Xi.
When she said this, didn't she find something?
Yan Xi didn't notice where the organ was, but when he heard Liang Zhao's words, he instantly understood.
The craftsmen who built this burial chamber are truly remarkable, and it can almost be said that they have no last resort.
This tomb is almost full of mechanisms, in order to trap the tomb alive inside.
But anyone who has made up their minds about the General's Tomb and enters here, touching anything in this tomb for any reason will trigger the mechanism.
"This is a trap, not a place for General Gu's bones to bury at all. These things in the burial chamber, no matter which one touches, will immediately activate the mechanism, and we will be buried alive here. ”
Seeing Xiao Zhihan and Su Li's gaze, Yan Xi did not hide it privately, and told what he had discovered.
Before Yan Xi came to this world, he had heard that some tombs would use fake tombs to lower the vigilance of tomb visitors, and then place organs on all the furnishings of the tomb. Anyone touches the mechanism, and the fake tomb collapses instantly, burying the person who entered the tomb alive.
Yan Xi told what he had discovered, and when Feiying and the others looked at the tomb at this time, they didn't feel that the craftsman who built the tomb had put loose here. The mechanism here is clearly a little more vicious than the mechanism outside.
With Yan Xi's warning, everyone's movements were much more careful.
However, the unexpected happened.
There was a sudden tremor beneath his feet, and the entire chamber began to shake.
Feiying and the others also sensed the tremor and immediately gathered around Xiao Zhihan.
Yan Xi looked at the tomb that suddenly shook, and wanted to kill with a bad face.
It's said that the things here must not be touched, who can't control their hands!
