Chapter 434: Pretending to be a flag soldier
Mobile reading
Wu Zhiyuan understood the meaning of Li San's words, and hurriedly asked, "What does the eldest brother mean is that in addition to supplying corpse oil to the Changming lamp, that cockscomb monster snake is actually responsible for guarding this burial room?" โ
Li San nodded and said, "That's right, but the cockscomb snake can suck the corpse oil from the corpses of dead corpses, so in order to prevent it from sneaking into this burial room and destroying the corpses in the three sarcophagus, the designer of this layout has placed another thing to restrain the cockscomb snake."

"It's the meerkat!" Wu Zhiyuan immediately understood that the cockscomb monster snake did not dare to enter this burial room, naturally because there was a snake meerkat in the burial room, and it turned out that the snake meerkat was artificially arranged at the beginning of the construction of the tomb. Using the restraint relationship between the meerkat and the cockscomb snake to maintain the stability of the burial chamber, not only can the cockscomb monster snake guard the burial room, but also ensure that it does not dare to step into the burial room, this design seems ordinary, but invisibly reveals the exquisiteness, the designer of this layout must have put considerable effort into it.
Thinking of this, Wu Zhiyuan vaguely felt that the designer of this layout might not be the third master. Because the third master is a Maoshan Taoist, there will definitely be a shadow of the Taoist Five Elements Talisman Seal when setting up the mechanism, and the layout of this cockscomb monster snake reveals an evil spirit, and it will definitely not be the handiwork of the third master who is a Maoshan Taoist.
"Meerkats are extremely hungry, and even if they don't eat for decades, they can reduce their body consumption and maintain their body in a sleepy half-dead state. So, the design of this layout can be regarded as a painstaking one. Li San looked around the burial room and found that the snake meerkat was hiding somewhere at this time, and its shadow could not be seen in the darkness.
Speaking of this, Li San turned his head to look at Wu Zhiyuan and said: "This is just a small burial room, there are no funeral utensils in it, only three sarcophagi and three ordinary corpses, you say, why go to such great lengths to use cockscomb and monster snakes to guard the entrance of the stone gate?" โ
"In this way, this burial room is by no means as simple as an ordinary burial room, there must be something very important hidden in it." Wu Zhiyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Or, the passage to Cixi's main tomb is really hidden in this burial room." โ
"I think so too." Li San said as he looked at the situation in the tomb.
There are no furnishings in this burial room, the only ones that can be regarded as furnishings are the two stone sculptures of lamp slaves on both sides of the door, one of which has fallen to the ground, and the other is the stone bed that goes straight to the stone door, and there are three cold sarcophagi on the stone bed.
Wu Zhiyuan and Li San glanced at the tomb at the same time, and their eyes fell on the stone bed that went straight to the stone gate.
According to the treasure map drawn by the Third Master, the passage to the main burial chamber is near the location of the stone bed, and this burial chamber is very empty, and only the three sarcophagi on the stone bed look more eye-catching. If the passage to the main burial chamber was indeed in this burial chamber, it could only be hidden near the stone bed.
Wu Zhiyuan walked to the stone bed and looked carefully into a sarcophagus on the side. Through the light emitted by the burning of fire oil on the ground, you can see that the sarcophagus is empty, not to mention the funeral vessel, there is not even a grain of dust, this phenomenon is really a bit abnormal. Even ordinary people will put some things used by the deceased in the coffin when they are buried, not to mention that this is still an imperial mausoleum.
Seeing this, Wu Zhiyuan vaguely had an ominous premonition all over his body, this premonition had already arisen from the time he walked to the door of this burial room, he couldn't say the reason for this premonition, but he felt that the underground palace of the Cixi Emperor's Mausoleum was full of strangeness, and every qiฤ seemed extremely unusual.
"The three sarcophagi are all empty, and the inner walls of the sarcophagus are very smooth, so I can't see anything strange." Wu Zhiyuan was secretly distracted, and Li San on the side had already checked all three sarcophagus.
Wu Zhiyuan retracted his thoughts and said, "Big brother, do you feel that there is something wrong with this underground palace?" โ
Li San was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and he didn't understand the meaning of Wu Zhiyuan's words.
Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly continued: "Although we haven't reached the main burial chamber yet, I always feel that even if it is a small burial room, there should not be too few treasures buried in it, but now we see nothing. This Cixi Mausoleum is by no means an ordinary tomb of princes and generals, let alone the graves of poor people, but a royal mausoleum built with the strength of the whole country, and it should not be so shabby in its underground palace, which is really a bit puzzling. โ
Speaking of this, Wu Zhiyuan paused and continued: "And the Sun Haozi and Moon Shadow Fuxian who came with me have not been heard from until now, and they also have maps in their hands, it is impossible not to find here, could it be that something happened to them?" โ
Li San thought about it, he had never robbed a tomb, so he didn't have any concept of the scale of the mausoleum's burial, but when he heard what Wu Zhiyuan said about the whereabouts of Sun Haozi and Moon Shadow Fuxian, he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said: "Hearing you say that Sun Haozi and that girl, I remembered something unusual. โ
"What's the matter?" Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly asked.
"The two flags held hostage by Sun Haozi are fake." Li San said in a deep voice.
"Fake?" Wu Zhiyuan couldn't help but be taken aback, "What does the eldest brother mean is that the old flag man and the middle-aged flag man are both impersonated?" โ
Li San recalled for a moment, nodded faintly and said: "Cixi's mausoleum does have two bannermen cleaning and repairing, but these two bannermen are over sixty years old, when following you to this imperial mausoleum, I accidentally saw two people walking into the house where the mausoleum keeper lived outside the cemetery, and saw the strange whereabouts of the two people, so I followed to see, and found that the two men killed all the two bannermen and changed into their clothes. Then he pretended to be kidnapped by Sun Hezi and blended into your team. โ
Wu Zhiyuan instantly understood, no wonder it was a little strange to see the shoes worn by the old banner and the middle-aged flag man in the hole under the stone wall of the underground palace passage, it turned out that they were not guarding the tomb at all, but mixed in. In that case, who are they?
Wu Zhiyuan thought about it carefully, at that time, only the two forces of Baolintang and Li Lanru got the treasure map, and the group of Baolintang had all died in the underground palace, and only Li Lanru's forces had not yet appeared. And Li Lan was the first to get the treasure map, and he should have been the first to arrive at this mausoleum. Could it be that the two people who pretended to be the flag were Li Lanru's people?
Thinking of this, Wu Zhiyuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, that was Li Lanru, that old Qiding's slender figure was exactly the same as Li Lanru, he was Li Lanru, and the middle-aged Qiding was slightly burly, it must be the mysterious man in black who had been following Li Lanru.
I didn't expect them to get in with such a despicable means, Sun Haozi and Moon Shadow Fuxian didn't know the identities of these two people, the enemy was dark and I was clear, I don't know if they would be harmed by these two people? Thinking of hearing the conversation between the two people at the entrance of the cave under the stone wall of the underground palace passage before, Wu Zhiyuan felt that it was unlikely, because according to the conversation between the two at that time, the two escaped Sun Haozi's control, and did not subdue Sun Haozi and Moon Shadow Fuxian.
While thinking about it, Wu Zhiyuan's heart became much more relieved. Suddenly, a series of faint but very clear sounds came from the stone door, "Da Da Da", as if someone was knocking on the stone door with a stone outside.
Wu Zhiyuan and Li San were both taken aback, and at the same time set their eyes on the stone gate opposite the stone bed.
