Master Liu and Guo Xiong entered the passage and saw a faint light in the distance, which seemed to be the exit of the passage. They are relieved, at least not trapped inside. Although there was light ahead, the road was pitch black. Master Liu seemed to remember the simple philosophy of life, and said to Guo Xiong: "Young people, the future is bright, but the road is tortuous, don't be intimidated by the darkness and difficulties in front of you!" ”

"Master Liu, when you say these mysterious things, everyone understands the truth. I want to start a family, get married, and have children, how do you think this road should go? Guo Xiong asked.

"Young man, I eat more salt than you eat. In my opinion, if you don't meet someone to help you, there is no shortcut. Then there is only one step at a time, down to earth. Master Liu said.

"Then you can introduce me to a nobleman. I'm Maxima, and he's my Bole. ”

"Young man, there are many people who have never met talents! Besides, are you talented? Master Liu said.

"That's right." Guo Xiong was not angry, he turned on the flashlight and saw that the rocks in the passage were solid, and a small amount of collapsed sand and gravel were scattered on the ground. In order to save electricity, they turned off the flashlight, held the stone wall forward, and turned on the flashlight when necessary. On the way forward, Master Liu's steps were too big, and he hit the hard stone several times, knocking his foot very painfully. He learned from his experience, and before stepping forward, he gently stretched out his feet to test ahead to ensure safety and obstacles before stepping out.

The light in front of them was getting closer and closer, and when they reached the middle of the passage, Master Liu came across something hard. Guo Xiong turned on the flashlight, and a ball-shaped monster appeared in front of him, covered with hard scale armor, shrunk into a ball. Master Liu and Guo Xiong were both startled, and the monster seemed to be frightened as well, and the scale armor on its body was trembling.

"Don't be afraid, lad! I thought it was some kind of monster, it turned out to be a pangolin! Master Liu laughed. Guo Xiong had also seen pangolins in the zoo, and they looked the same as the ones in front of him.

"It's a rare animal, and since we've encountered it, we've captured it!" Guo Xiong asked tentatively.

"Young man, your mind is evil again! You must know that I also know some yin and yang, can do a little exorcism, and believe that there is karma in the world! Although this pangolin wears a hard armor, it will never actively use its armor to attack other species. In fact, they are very timid, and will only curl up in a ball when danger comes, and use their armor to protect themselves. Such a timid and kind animal, which only feeds on ants, termites and other small insects, and never participates in all kinds of 'bloody rain' in nature, how can you bear to catch it? In the same way, you and I are at the bottom of the social ladder, do you want others to bully you? Master Liu said.

Guo Xiong thoughtfully canceled this thought. They took a few steps back, and the pangolin poked its head out, sensed that there was no danger around it, and slipped away quietly. Guo Xiong sighed: "The world is so big, where is the home of the pangolin? We let it go, what do it do when it meets other bad guys? What if someone else eats it as a delicacy from the mountains and seas? ”

"Then we don't care, as long as our hands are clean." Master Liu said.

When they came to the place where the pangolin was found, they saw a pile of soil on the edge of the rock wall, which turned out to be a hole made by the pangolin. Guo Xiong said: "I think it should be like this, this pangolin finally came to this cave in order to avoid people's pursuit, but I didn't expect to be driven away by our two uninvited guests!" ”

Master Liu took the flashlight from Guo Xiong's hand, turned on it, and saw that there were murals carved on the stone wall, painting pictures of war horses, battle flags, officers, soldiers, armor, bows and arrows, siege equipment, and brief text. Master Liu looked closely, and saw a round object the size of a plate on the wall, shaped like a button for turning up the channels on an old-fashioned black-and-white television, similar to the mechanism he had found in the tomb. The difference is that the mechanism here is hidden inside the round wheels in the mural, so you can't see it if you don't pay attention. Master Liu speculated that the mechanism here and the mechanism in the tomb should be the work of the same craftsman.

"Go in? Or not to go in? Master Liu asked Guo Xiong for advice.

"Since you're here, let's go in! Afraid of a ball! Anyway, my life is not worth anything, it's a big deal to die here! Guo Xiong said.

"If we die here and archaeologists find our remains, will they think we are tomb robbers or explorers?"

"Doing these things is a tomb robber, of course! Do you think you have a broom in your ass? Guo Xiong said.

"What do you mean?"

"Do you think you have a broom in your ass - Wei (tail) big?" Guo Xiong teased.

Master Liu was about to stretch out his hand and twist the button, when Guo Xiong shouted, "Stop!" ”

Master Liu hurriedly retracted his hand and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"You just said that you eat more salt than I eat dry rice, why are you so careless? What if I open the mechanism and an arrow shoots out of it? Guo Xiong said. The mural depicts sharp arrows and various weapons, which is not impossible for Guo Xiong to say.

"Let's find out if there's a tool to activate this mechanism." Master Liu said.

Guo Xiong walked forward with a flashlight and found a pile of bones, unable to distinguish whether they were animal or human. He couldn't care so much, so he picked up a long leg bone from the ground and went back. With the help of this leg bone, Master Liu stood one meter away from the mechanism, skillfully found a fulcrum, and applied the principle of leverage to open the mechanism. Sure enough, as Guo Xiong expected, as soon as the stone gate opened, three sharp arrows were shot from inside, and if he stood in front of the stone gate, he would definitely die.

They entered through the stone door and came to a secret chamber with a variety of weapons, including broadswords, spears, bows and arrows, and firearms similar to modern pistols. Over the centuries, these weapons have become rusty. The most striking thing is that in the center of the secret room hangs a pair of mighty armor, on which are engraved several large characters "Daxi Zhang Wang Imperial Armor".

They all studied middle school history and knew some things about Zhang Xianzhong, a peasant army in the late Ming Dynasty. They found Zhang Xianzhong's token in the tomb, and here they found Zhang Xianzhong's armor lettering. Guo Xiong connected these two things, and with a flash of inspiration, he seemed to have made an astonishing discovery, and said: "Could it be that the ancient corpse in the tomb is Zhang Xianzhong?" The tomb of a generation of heroes was discovered by us so easily? Are the two of us going to go down in history? ”

"I don't think it's possible. It is said that Zhang Xianzhong died in Phoenix Mountain in Xichong, how could he be buried here? Maybe his body has been broken into pieces by the Qing army! Master Liu said.

They suddenly felt a cool breeze blow through them, and a biting cold came over them. The chamber where the weapons were stacked was completely sealed, and there was almost no circulation between the air inside and the outside world. Although there was a faint light at the exit of the passage, even if the wind blew in, it could not blow into the secret room.

After the cold, they felt weak all over their bodies, and without any strength, they lay down on the ground. The air current, with the breath of the two of them, burrowed under the armor. The armor was puffed up by the air current, and the dust accumulated on it fell in a puff. Soon, the air flow came out of the armor's helmet again, turning into a puff of black gas, circling around the secret chamber several times, and shaking the weapon with a rattle. Then, the black gas rushed out of the doorway, not knowing where it was going.

"Oh no, we let the demon go!" Master Liu said.

"What do you mean by that?" Guo Xiong asked.

"This armor has been pierced, there are evil spirits of Zhang Xianzhong or his generals in it, just now we encountered the demon wind, the whole body is sore, it must be the armor that absorbed our yang energy, and the evil spirits attached to the armor gained energy and turned into a black gas and ran out!" Master Liu said.

"How's that okay?" Guo Xiong asked in horror.

"Evil does not prevail over good, if this evil spirit dares to make trouble, there are masters who will clean him up!" Master Liu said.

They rested in the chamber for two hours, and finally regained their strength and walked out of the chamber. Guo Xiong was clearly interested in the murals outside the secret room, saying: "There are also murals here, and we will study them slowly like archaeologists." ”

Guo Xiong once had a dream of becoming a police officer to solve crimes, but now this dream has long been bankrupt. At this moment, faced with the secrets hidden in the murals, the ideals that he had buried in his heart when he was young beat again.
