As soon as the mercury fell from the hole, there was a bang, and a fence-like lid popped out of the inner wall of the hole, blocking the hole.
The mercury began to rise slowly again, spilling through the holes in the fence and soon filling the pool.
In just a few minutes, the pool of mercury was back to its original state, as if nothing had happened.
Hou Jingshan gasped, "It must have been the person who triggered the mechanism just now, and the fence under the mercury pool was opened, releasing those zombies, and when those people died, the mercury fell from the hole, taking away all the zombies and corpses, and then the fence was closed, so that they couldn't escape." β
"That's right......" Wu Weizi nodded: "And mercury can preserve corpses, and those four disciples will turn into zombies in a short time, so that this tomb guarding mechanism can be reused, and it will become more and more powerful!" β
The Dream Mage didn't speak for a long time, hesitated for a long time before he said in a trembling voice, "Did you already have such a clever technique in ancient times?" What is it that drives this mechanism, and how can it still be used after all these years? β
Wu Weizi clasped his hands together and said in a deep voice: "Don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients, Qin Shi Huang used mercury to simulate the image of the Tianhe River, and operated on its own, without stopping for thousands of years. Although the owner of this tomb is not as powerful as King Qin, judging from the murals outside, he must also be a prince, and it is not difficult to find a few skilled craftsmen. β
Hou Jingshan sighed, "We can't save the bodies of these four people, let's go back and spend it well." β
"What about the zombies down there? Don't we care? The Dream Mage asked.
"How?" Wu Weizi shook his head and said: "First of all, no matter what is down here, where it leads, we can't do anything with just so much mercury, let's find a magic weapon first, and tell those policemen about the situation here after we go out, and let them toss it." β
Taking advantage of the time for several people to discuss, Wang Dafu secretly pulled Zhang Cheng aside and asked in a low voice: "They don't dare to go down, you can go down!" No matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, and when the time comes, if you get a few corpse pills, maybe you can go up to the next level. β
"Dream...... Zhang Cheng rolled his eyes, "Those things are trapped in mercury, and they can't be cultivated, they're just some zombies, not even copper corpses, there's a woolen corpse, don't make a mess." β
"Alright, let's go." Hou Jingshan took one last look at the mercury pool, turned around and walked into a passage.
The group followed, and after two turns, they arrived at another space.
In front of him is an arch bridge carved from white marble, and under the bridge is gurgling water, not mercury, but real flowing water!
On the other side of the Baiyu Bridge, there was an open space, the ground was full of bluestone slabs one meter square, and the range illuminated by the candle flame was limited, and several disciples took out a few cold fireworks from their backpacks, broke them and threw them far away.
The sudden fireworks stimulated everyone's eyes, and after a few seconds, they slowly opened their eyes and found that there was a huge space beyond the White Jade Bridge, and a golden palace stood in the center.
Wang Dafu was stunned and couldn't help but scream.
"Is this Nima the tomb of a general or the tomb of an emperor! That's a scary spec, isn't it? β
Everyone feels this way at this time, there is actually a palace in the tomb of a military general, which is definitely a big sin for the Nine Clans in ancient times!
What is the identity of this tomb owner, who dares to do such a rebellious thing!
However, of course, these palaces are not real, only about one-tenth of the actual size, and they are very exquisitely built, with red walls and gold tiles, carved beams and paintings, and you can still see the exquisite and luxurious furniture and utensils inside from the window holes.
"I seem to have returned to Hengdian...... Wang Dafu swallowed his saliva and muttered: "If I didn't know that this is the general's tomb, I would have thought that I had entered the imperial tomb." β
The people of the three mountain gates were also shocked, where had they seen a tomb of this scale before, and they were all stunned for a while.
After a long while, Hou Jingshan and the others came to their senses and walked quickly onto the Baiyu Bridge.
The water under the bridge is murmuring, it doesn't look deep, the water is very clear, and there are occasionally some white fish and shrimp in it, which should be drawn from the underground river.
"What a big deal!" Wu Weizi sighed: "The underground river was actually introduced into the tomb to divert water and store qi, which is indeed a treasure of feng shui!" β
"What if it's a treasure of feng shui? failed to become an immortal, but became a corpse king. Hou Jingshan shook his head, walked directly across the bridge, and came to the side of the palace.
This palace looks majestic from a distance, and when you get closer, you find that it is only five or six meters high, but although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs, whether it is the carving on the pillar or the glazed gold tile on the roof, it looks extremely delicate and extraordinarily luxurious.
Wang Dafu peeked in from the window hole and found that there were not only all kinds of exquisite utensils in the palace, but also a dragon bed in the center, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"How much do you think it will be worth if you get this thing out?"
Zhang Cheng glanced at Wang Dafu, "I don't know how much it's worth, but if you dare to sell this thing, you will definitely have to retire in prison......"
At this time, Hou Jingshan's thoughts were on the Yin and Yang Bagua Mirror, and after a few glances in front of the palace, they continued to walk forward.
Although the disciples behind were as greedy as Wang Dafu, with the previous lesson, no one dared to stretch out their hands in the end.
Hou Jingshan bypassed the underground palace and suddenly took a step back, "Oh! With a thud, the Qingfeng sword was pulled out.
Everyone was shocked, and when they looked forward, they found that behind the underground palace, there were hundreds of people neatly arranged, all of whom were wearing black helmets and black armor, holding halberds in their hands, and a murderous aura came to their faces.
"Why are there terracotta warriors here?" Zhang Cheng was confused.
Hua Long felt it carefully, but his face changed, "There is corpse qi, these things are not terracotta warriors!" β
As soon as the words fell, a "click......" sound sounded, and those soldiers in iron armor actually moved, and the halberd in their hands waved and faced everyone in unison.
"Grave Guard!"
The faces of the people from the three mountain gates suddenly changed, and they all took out their magic weapons.
"Bang...... Boom...... Bang ......"
Hundreds of corpse soldiers lined up in a queue, walking towards this side step by step, and every step was a loud noise, which shook everyone's eardrums.
As the corpse soldiers approached, Zhang Cheng finally saw the faces under the helmet, all of them had no flesh and skin, only black skeletons remained.
"Don't panic, everyone! These things are artificially refined to guard the tomb, and the strength is not strong, so let's go together! β
Hou Jingshan shouted, and rushed out first with the Qingfeng sword in his hand, and the sword light split off the head of a corpse soldier in a flash.
However, after losing his head, the corpse soldier did not fall, and the halberd in his hand thrust towards Hou Jingshan's chest with a sound of breaking through the air.
The corpse soldiers next to him also attacked at the same time, and for a while, the halberd was like a forest, blocking the range that Hou Jingshan could dodge.
