Chapter 197: The Tomb of the Prince
Looking closely now, all the patterns on these walls are missing a claw.
This tomb is not a king's tomb, it should be a prince's tomb.
Although the prince's tomb has more masters than the king's tomb, the level has dropped one layer as a whole, and it is no wonder that it cannot reach the level of the king's tomb.
If the scale of this is comparable to the king's tomb, then spreading it is a crime of rebellion, which was very taboo in ancient times.
"No, this is not the king's tomb, but the prince's tomb!"
After all, so many people present were old rivers and lakes, and soon they also found out that something was wrong, Zhang Bing stared at the python pattern on the wall tightly, and spoke first.
This is everyone's interest has been slightly reduced, but there is still a look of ecstasy on his face, although it is not the king's tomb, but there are many good things in the prince's tomb.
If you meet a rich prince, even if the scale of the tomb is not large, all the burial goods in it are not necessarily worse than the king's tomb, and even some of the treasures in the prince's tomb are much more luxurious than the king's tomb.
"Don't be too happy, the road is gone here, there should be other hidden mechanisms, if we can't find the mechanism, we still can't pass the road below."
Zhang Bing, who had already clashed with me, looked around at the scene around him and slowly spoke.
That's right, the space of this stone chamber is not too big, all around it is sealed, and there is no sign of a door.
It seems that there are mechanisms in the same way as in other tombs.
I looked up and down, and then took a few steps forward, groping my hands on the wall, but I didn't find any signs of mechanism, as if the stone chamber in front of me was an ordinary stone chamber.
"Senior Tang Mian, don't you know that there are any people in our team who are good at organs?"
I stared at Tang Mian slowly, and asked, if there are any masters among us who are good at mechanisms, it will be easy to do, maybe we can search for traces of mechanisms.
"Of course there is, Lao Zhang, you go." Tang Mian nodded, and immediately said to Lao Zhang behind him, and suddenly Lao Zhang, who was in the back, stood up.
"Leave it to me." Lao Zhang nodded, obviously full of confidence, and after taking two steps forward, he leaned over and lay on the ground, one ear was tightly pressed to the ground, and then he struck heavily on the ground with one hand.
This method of listening to the sound is very similar to that of Hidden Dragon, so at first glance it seems that several of them belong to the same school.
After listening slowly on the ground for more than a minute, Lao Zhang soon stood up and walked briskly towards one of the corners.
"Little Brother Li, just look at it, although Lao Zhang has no formal genre, but this skill of eating only by the organ is incomparable to people in ordinary genres."
"It is said that Lao Zhang learned the art with a Taoist priest in his early years."
As soon as I heard this, the pupils of my eyes widened slightly, it wouldn't be so coincidental, I remember that the master of the two of them is a Taoist priest, could it be that the three of them are from the same faction? That's a strange thing.
I slowly breathed a sigh of relief, if that's the case, the search for the mechanism door will be found, it turns out to be the senior brother of the hidden dragon, no matter what, the technology should not be much worse.
Hidden Dragon's mobile technique is a must, even if Lao Zhang is only half of his level, it should be enough to find the mechanism from the stone room in front of him.
Lao Zhang gently knocked twice in the corner in front of him, and immediately there was a clicking sound in the corner.
And the sound became louder and louder, similar to the sound of the mechanism activating, and then the dragon relief on the wall trembled slightly, and in their eye sockets, traces of eyeballs gradually emerged.
We stared at what was happening in front of us, not even daring to breathe, looking forward to what was happening in front of us.
Immediately afterwards, the stone wall in front of him shook rapidly, and as time passed, the stone wall in front of him rose rapidly.
"The mechanism has been activated!"
I stared intently at the rising stone wall in front of me, and behind the stone wall, I saw one and I saw three passages!
"Isn't it! There are three! ”
Lao Zhang, as the first person to open the mechanism, was dumbfounded after seeing these three tombs, staring closely at the three tombs behind the stone wall, and even had a feeling of being speechless.
It's not the first time I've encountered this kind of forked road, and generally speaking, there are usually only two options for this kind of tomb.
The first option is for all the people to go through one grave, while the second option is for all the people to go through the three graves.
In my opinion, the first method is less risky, but if something happens, it could be completely annihilated.
However, this is better than a lottery, and if you are not careful, you will probably lose your life in an instant.
Because after all, the number of people is scattered, even if there is really any danger, you can't save it if you want to.
What's more, if I choose the first option, I can use the feng shui compass to calculate and see if I can find the location of the birth gate, so that the probability of survival will be much greater.
"Let me try it and see if I can use Feng Shui to calculate the danger probability of these tombs."
I stood up in an instant, and the compass in my hand was quickly placed in front of me, my eyes were firmly fixed on the tomb in front of me, and my heart was quickly calculated.
Soon I shook my head and gave up on this idea, these three tombs are very close to the direction of the Shengmen, and they are in the same direction, with my level of feng shui skills, it seems unrealistic to want to deduce this.
If it was Qian Lao, there would be such a possibility, but the difference in feng shui between me and Qian Lao was too great.
"Then it's just a matter of trying your luck." Tang Mian said with a solemn face.
I also nodded approvingly, and now it's true, it's completely up to luck to fight, anyway, it's a 1/3 probability, and there may not be only one tomb road that will pass.
"Let's vote!" Tang Mian slowly spoke, and immediately began to vote among the 19 of us, and after less than a moment, the results of the voting came out, and almost more than half of the people chose the tomb road in the middle.
"Let's go!"
Since he had chosen a direction, Tang Mian immediately opened his mouth to respond, and the whole team headed towards the middle of the tomb road.
We hadn't gone far enough to see that the walls around the tomb were beginning to change.
It seems that the walls of the tomb are getting more and more crystalline, and the surface is becoming smoother and smoother.
From the beginning of the stone gradually turned into a jade-like luster, the more the tomb walked, the horror in everyone's hearts became stronger and stronger, and everyone's face flashed a look of ecstasy.
Judging from the current change, we should not have chosen the wrong tomb road, and in terms of the luxurious scene of this tomb wall, it can definitely be regarded as a big tomb.
The tomb path is long and narrow, and we don't know how long we have walked, but we just know that we have been following this tomb path to the depths.
When I looked down at my watch, I realized that we had been walking for half an hour since we stepped into the tomb.
Our speed is not slow, there is Lao Zhang, a master of tricks, who can help us detect the movement of the surrounding mechanisms, and we don't have to go to the tomb like a normal tomb, every step is afraid of stepping on the mechanism like a minesweeper.
But even so, there is still no end to the tomb.
Time passed little by little, and I don't know if an hour or two had passed, and I still didn't see the end of the tomb, until I walked a little hungry, and when I looked down, it had been six hours since we stepped into the tomb.
Six hours!
How is this possible!
My face was full of horror, I really couldn't believe that according to the size of the whole mountain, we should be able to cross the whole mountain in six hours at this speed, how could it be that we still didn't see the end of the graveyard!
It can't be underground, because from the time we went down to the tomb, although there was a significant slope, the slope was not too large, and the whole should still be above the level.
If it's above the horizon, why is it still like this?
My affairs shrank slightly, and seemed to remind me of a scene similar to the tomb of King Yan Zhao.
The rest of the people had already discovered that something was wrong, Zhang Bing, who was standing at the front leading the way, and Wang Helong and the two stopped abruptly, looking at the depths of the tomb with solemn faces.
"Tang Mian, we seem to have encountered a ghost hitting the wall." After a moment's hesitation, Wang Helong spoke.
In fact, I didn't have to wait for them to speak, I already thought about it, and immediately took out the black dog blood from the package.
I've tried this method before, and the black dog's blood is evil, and it can be used to break the ghost wall.
I dipped my fingertips in a little bit, gently touched the black dog blood on my eyebrows, and continued to look in the direction of the depths of the tomb.
But it doesn't seem to have done anything this time, there is no change in the depths of the tomb, as if everything is real, this tomb is endless, there is no end.
Let's die here.
"I'm afraid it's not a ghost hitting the wall, if it's a ghost hitting the wall, it's because the yin energy affects people's sanity, and after using the black dog's blood to break the evil, it will immediately restore the original scene."
"And I used black dog blood to dot on the center of my eyebrows, but it didn't have the slightest effect, I'm afraid we encountered something more advanced!"
I said slowly with half-squinted eyes, and the gluttonous patterns on my hands didn't move, which means that we are not trapped here at the moment because of the evil spirit.
I'm afraid it's because of some other reasons, but we just can't figure it out.
"Senior Zhang, continue to listen, are there any organs or other movements around here?"
While I spoke, everyone was silent for a moment, and in that moment I opened my mouth to ask Lao Zhang on the side.
Lao Zhang nodded slowly, half-bowed and climbed down, everyone didn't even dare to breathe, just stared at Lao Zhang quietly, for fear of affecting Lao Zhang's judgment.
As time passed, Lao Zhang's eyes narrowed slightly, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face.
"How's it going, Senior Zhang?" I stared closely at Lao Zhang in front of me, and slowly asked, if it wasn't an evil spell, then it could only be a mechanism.
Lao Zhang nodded.
"That's right, there's a very small sound coming from under this stone slab, it seems that the tomb under our feet is constantly moving, and there are some noises coming from above."
"It should be that the passages near here are connected with the tomb passages, and the moment we activate the mechanism that opens the door, the mechanisms in it are also activated, and all the tomb passages keep alternating back and forth, forming a cycle."
"The purpose of this cycle is to trap us here."
Lao Zhang's face became even more ugly when he spoke, not only Lao Zhang, but all of us' faces became ugly.
It's the first time we've seen such an institution, trapped and dying here, outsiders can't get in, and people can't get out, so isn't it just waiting for death?
"Senior Zhang, have you heard the location of other activation mechanisms?"
"It stands to reason that a mechanism like this will not be activated all the time, and it should have a certain time limit, and there should be a closed mechanism internally."
As I slowly spoke, everyone's eyes lit up, staring at Lao Zhang in front of me expectantly.
It's just that after a while, Lao Zhang shook his head with difficulty.
"There's no way, the sound from below has completely drowned out my tapping, there's no way to hear the sound of feedback."
"And the graveyard is moving up and down, and I can't think of any place where I can hide the mechanism."
At this time, Lao Zhang's face was full of wry smiles, and it was obvious that this was a big problem for him.
I sighed faintly, although I have read a lot of books, but they are not omnipotent, some strange mechanisms have long been lost, and they can't be seen in books at all, such as the current one.
"Forget it, sit down and rest for a while, it's been six hours of walking, and then continue to think of ways after replenishing your strength."
Although Tang Mian's face was not good-looking, he still asked everyone to sit down and rest, after resting, maybe it could make people's heads shine, and they might not be able to come up with any countermeasures.
But it was true, and the moment I sat down, it dawned on my mind, as if I had never seen such a mechanism.
Although I haven't seen it in a serious book, I seem to have seen it in a certain strange book, this kind of mechanism can be done very smoothly, obviously not fast, if we can speed up, can we rush out before the tomb interact!
My eyes lit up, and I slowly told everyone my speculation, and when Lao Zhang listened, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"This method is very feasible!"
There was hardly any opposition, and everyone supported it.
"Okay, since this is the case, everyone should rest quickly, take advantage of this time to eat something, and start running wildly in a while!"
Tang Mian looked at me with a hint of appreciation, and immediately turned his head to say to the people behind him.
I immediately pulled out the dry food I was carrying from the package and quickly stuffed it into my mouth.
Time waits for no one, and the most important thing is to seize the time to recover your body.
If we delay any longer, I am afraid that we will run out of dry food.
With the mechanism in front of us, it has blocked us for more than six hours, and I don't know how long it will take to crack the mechanism, but it is estimated that according to the length of the interaction of the tomb tunnel, it should be about an hour.
After waiting for 20 minutes, all the people have rested, although their physical strength has not fully recovered, but most of them have recovered, and with the addition of food supplements, their spirits have also recovered to a certain extent.
"Rush!"
Tang Mian let out a roar, and immediately all the people rushed out like arrows from the string, rushing towards the depths of the tomb.
I followed them closely with my backpack on my back, and my fitness improved dramatically as a result of the forced exercise during this time.
Although it is unreliable to run wild for an hour, even a professional athlete cannot run for an hour at full speed.
However, it was no problem to jog closely with the team, and this time the speed of the whole team became much faster because of the running.
As time went on, it was soon close to an hour or so.
My gaze froze slightly, as if I could faintly see something moving in front of me!
"Seniors, the front is where the agency interacts!"
A trace of ecstasy flashed on everyone's faces, and in the physical strength that was about to be exhausted, they actually squeezed out a trace of physical strength, running wildly like a 100-meter sprint!
At this time, it should be at the time when the mechanism has just interacted, and there is still a large distance from the entrance of the passage above.
Make it!
Screaming such a voice in my heart, I followed the group closely, seeing that I was getting closer and closer to the exit, and in the next moment, as the first person in front jumped over, I landed smoothly on the opposite side of the passage, and the rest of the people followed suit.
One by one, they quickly ran in the direction of the passage!
All of them worked hard and jumped over without any suspense.
But when it was my turn, my gaze froze slightly, and now that I had reached the end of the interaction between the mechanisms, the passage between the two mechanisms had become very narrow!
At this time, I didn't think if I could jump over, and all I had left was this narrow crossing.
"Ahh
As if I was cheering up, I shouted at myself, and then my whole body instantly accelerated, pressing the last vestige of strength in my body.
The next moment, the moment my foot stepped on the point of interaction with our mechanism, my whole body jumped.
Forming a parabola perfectly forward, my jump was tightly attached to the wall, and I fell towards the opposite passageway.
As I got closer to the entrance of the passage, my pupils gradually widened, and in my vision, the entrance of the passage on the other side was slowly dilating.
In my sight, the person who was now standing on the other side of the passage gradually held his breath, as if waiting for me to jump over.
"It's done!"
The moment my feet landed on the opposite passage, a flash of ecstasy flashed across my face, and my whole body breathed a sigh of relief.
His feet went limp, and he sat limply on the ground.
At this time, I had drained the last remaining strength of my body because of the rapid running and the effect.
My legs are so weak now, but luckily it's all worth it, and we're finally out of the infinite loop!
"Whew!" The moment Tang Mian saw me jumping over, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and he also gasped heavily.
"It's good to come here, little brother Li, I thought you wouldn't be able to come!"
Lao Zhang staggered over and patted me on the shoulder, although Lao Zhang looked tired enough, but there was still an obvious look of joy on his face.
"Seriously, at the moment it worked, even I had a vague feeling that I couldn't jump."
"But it's okay, I jumped over."
I touched my chest, and I felt like I was feeling like I was jumping, and I didn't think about what would happen if I couldn't jump.
It is very likely that he will be directly caught in the crack of this mechanism, and he will be directly sandwiched to death, which is probably worse than being trapped in the tomb.
I'm trapped in the tomb, at least I know how this tomb works now, I just need to wait at this junction, and then I can rush forward afterwards.
Now that I think about it, how much risk did my momentary brain fever pose to myself?
I exhaled slowly, but fortunately it was all over, and I jumped safely and without any danger, and it was all the perfect ending.
"Okay, everyone rest, after this hour of running, even the iron beaten people can't stand it."
Tang Mian said slowly, and suddenly everyone nodded in agreement, even if they didn't rest, according to the rest of their physical fitness, there was no way to continue.
