"Let's go, let's run away!" Zong Ruixiang waved his hand and took the lead in escaping the way he came.

But he didn't take a few steps, but his feet went limp, and he fell to the ground with a loud cry.

Ding Ermiao pulled Ji Xiaoxiao up, and then looked back at Zong Ruixiang, but saw that where Zong Ruixiang fell, a whirlpool had formed on the entire ground, and the yellow sand was rolling.

And Zong Ruixiang was struggling in the center of the whirlpool, shouting for help.

The yellow sand around the whirlpool flows like a tide.

Zong Ruixiang is like a freestyle swimmer, performing dog planing in the quicksand whirlpool.

Because the quicksand was slipping, Zong Ruixiang couldn't stand up at all, and the more he struggled, the faster he fell.

"Senior brother, catch my rope!"

At the critical moment, Gu Qinglan's body spun, and the flying claw rope on her waist had already thrown it towards Zong Ruixiang.

Zong Ruixiang grabbed this life-saving straw and hurriedly shouted: "Quick, pull me shàngqu!" ”

Ding Ermiao and the three of them worked hard together, and finally dragged Zong Ruixiang out of the sand pit like a dog.

"Hurry up, it seems to be a dungeon down here, and now the dungeon has collapsed!" Zong Ruixiang shouted in a panic.

The ground was still trembling and shaking, and at the same time, there was a rumbling sound from underground, as if a train was running underground.

The white fog that had risen around the desert was still thickening and aggravating, and the sky was completely covered by the white fog, and even sunlight could not shine in.

"Let's go, let's use ropes, pull each other a little, pick up high ground and walk!" Ding Ermiao glanced around, waved his hand and said.

Now you can see that in this area, there are many places where the whirlpool that Zong Ruixiang fell just now, needless to say, there must be open space underground, and these yellow sand are leaking down.

Ji Xiaoxiao followed closely behind Ding Ermiao, pulling the rope in Ding Ermiao's hand. Gu Qinglan followed behind Ji Xiaoxiao and took care of Ji Xiaoxiao.

Zong Ruixiang followed last, his two calves still trembling. The yellow sand whirlpool that fell just now scared the director of the cultural relics bureau a lot.

The four of them retreated westward with one foot high and one foot low, and on the way, because of the trembling and shaking of the ground, Ji Xiaoxiao fell twice in succession. Fortunately, with Ding Ermiao and Gu Qinglan taking care of them, there is no danger.

Looking back while retreating, I saw that the area just now was moving even more.

There were two white air currents, rushing out of the iron plate cover, and there was a snorting sound.

It was probably because of the turbulence of the earth's qi, and the white mist in the sky also rotated, and it gradually formed another pattern of yin and yang fish in the sky!

On the ground, the broken or broken stones were rolling and disappearing into the yellow sand, gradually disappearing.

Even the two stone pillars that had not yet collapsed were now completely on the ground, submerged in the yellow sand.

After exiting more than two miles all the way, he felt that the shaking under his feet was not so strong, and Ding Ermiao and the others stopped.

Because they were in a hurry, everyone was a little embarrassed, and they were covered in yellow sand.

"Xiaoxiao, Sister Lan, it's okay here, you sit down and rest." Ding Ermiao said.

Gu Qinglan spread out the plastic sheet and let Ji Xiaoxiao sit and rest, but she took out the binoculars and looked at the place where it collapsed just now.

"Ermiao, the collapse over there is still going on, but the speed has slowed down." Gu Qinglan watched and said, "There is only the place where the iron plate is covered, and there doesn't seem to be a collapse. ”

Ding Ermiao nodded, and looked up again to observe the celestial phenomenon.

The yin and yang fish in the sky rotated, and gradually slowed down, but it seemed to be pressed lower.

Zong Ruixiang was embarrassed to sit on the plastic sheet with Ji Xiaoxiao to rest, so he was next to Ding Ermiao, lying on the sand and gasping.

It took him a long time before he stood up, took the telescope in Gu Qinglan's hand and glanced at it, and said:

"It's over, that area, it seems that the overall water level has been lowered a lot, according to the amount of quicksand, maybe the underground palace below has been filled. We have worked hard, but we still can't enter the dungeon. ”

Ding Ermiao shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, I see that there is still an entrance, which has not been blocked." ”

"Yes, it's the iron cover!" Gu Qinglan also nodded and said, "When the air is released and the ground stops shaking, let's go over again." ”

For a long time, in the direction of the iron plate cover, the earth gas was sprayed to the sky, and the intensity slowly decreased.

The white mist in the sky began to slowly dissipate, and the pattern of the yin and yang fish gradually deformed, and finally dissipated.

After another ten minutes, the ground was calm again.

But it was also evening.

The fog in the sky had not yet cleared, so even though it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the moon was still not visible.

"What about Ermiao? Is it past kànkàn now? Gu Qinglan asked.

"Let's go, let's go to kànkàn! Sister Lan Xiaoxiao, boss, everyone work harder, I remember this love! Ding Ermiao turned on the flashlight and said in front of him.

There are obviously many collapses ahead, and the yellow sand in many places has leaked into the ground, so the current surface looks strange, as if it has come to an alien planet, and there are craters on the ground.

"Don't talk about Ermiao like that, if you want to remember your feelings, it should be that I remember your feelings." Gu Qinglan smiled and had already walked forward.

When passing by those "craters", everyone took a look at them with flashlights. I saw that the sand pit was round, with an area of about 50 square meters, and the bottom of the pit was in the shape of a regular funnel, most of which were four or five feet deep.

Zong Ruixiang sighed and said, "These yellow hourglasses must have filled the dungeon and destroyed the mechanism. Such a delicate and strange mechanism is probably impossible to explore and understand. ”

For a tomb robber, being able to understand all kinds of tomb mechanisms is actually a kind of pleasure and an achievement.

However, a large amount of yellow sand leaked down, and the underground mechanism must have been unable to recover, and it is impossible to get a glimpse of the design method inside.

For example, the stone pillars that could run around before, even in Ruixiang's life, will not be the mystery of it.

So Zong Ruixiang sighed and felt regretful.

"If you don't understand, forget it, why rack your brains to study these things?" Ding Ermiao smiled disdainfully.

For Ding Ermiao, it doesn't matter if the underground organs are destroyed. There are countless ingenious mechanisms in the world, where can they be studied thoroughly?

Even the terrifying science and technology of modern people still dare not excavate the tomb of Qin Shi Huang, let alone the Qianling Tomb of Wu Zetian, that is also not daring to do it rashly, and want to leave it for future research.

What he cares about is the corpse whip, as long as there is a passage to enter, he can find the corpse whip smoothly, and even if it is done, he can comfort the master's spirit in the sky.

However, Ding Ermiao is also worried that these quicksands will block the tomb and make it impossible for him to enter.
