Chapter 35: Bronze Dragon Horse

Wen Ru slowly took his gaze back, slowly walked out of the altar, we hid behind the stone statue and watched the archaeological team members below clean up and mark the cultural relics, originally thought that we would go down when they rested, who knew that in order to prevent the mudslide from destroying here, the archaeological team members were divided into three batches, day and night non-stop rescue excavation.

We are almost numb in the back of the stone statue, now it is difficult to ride a tiger and I don't know what to do, in the middle of the night Wen Ru came back again, let all the archaeological team members go to rest, and after everyone left, Wen Ru walked straight to the stone statue we hid.

Although he was hunched over, he couldn't see the old twilight at all, and he felt that his whole person was suddenly full of energy, and his eyes were full of anticipation, and we shrank our heads back a little, so as not to be discovered by Wen Ru, and he seemed a little excited and excited, so that the calmness when he saw him at the beginning was now completely invisible.

Wen Ru walked to the front of the stone statue, looked back vigilantly for a moment, and after making sure that there was no one else, he knelt on the ground on one knee, and put one hand under the stone statue, he raised his hand and I was suddenly shocked in my heart, Wen Ru's technique is only used by tomb robbers, and Wen Ru is extremely proficient, the ability to touch the treasure in the tomb is not a day or two can be learned, the expert looks at the doorway, and knows the pound and two as soon as he makes a move, seeing that Wen Ru is so sophisticated, it takes decades of kung fu to say the least.

This highly respected leader in the archaeological field actually used the skills of a tomb robber.

With a bang, Wen Ru seemed to have opened some mechanism, and raised a pillar in front of the stone statue, on which a jade box was placed, Wen Ru looked excited, his hands were trembling, and it must have attracted him here This jade box.

Wen Ru opened the jade box tremblingly, the angle from which we hid was just enough to see clearly from a high position, and when the jade box was opened, the corners of Wen Ru's eyes twitched, and the excitement and excitement disappeared in an instant.

The jade box was empty, there was nothing, presumably what Wen Ru was looking for had been taken away by someone first, but it could be seen that the contents of the jade box were very important to Wen Ru, and his face was now gloomy, and his eyes were full of disappointment.

Wen Ru half-knelt on the ground again, closing the mechanism under the stone statue, we thought he was leaving, but Wen Ru stood up and walked around the altar, from the bag he was carrying, as if he had taken out something and placed it.

After waiting for a long time for Wen Ru to walk out of the altar, I said to them, this Wen Ru is probably not simple, it will be the way of tomb robbers, and the palace lord also feels this way, and Wen Ru seems to be very proficient in mechanical techniques, I really didn't expect that there would be such a character in the archaeological team.

"Someone deliberately brought us here, would they want us to find something that Wen Ru is looking for?" Tian Ji pointed to the mechanism that had just been opened below. "The things have been taken, so let's withdraw first."

"Wen Ru is a leader in the archaeological world, and it is reasonable to know the rumors of the Nine Dragons Boat in the Moon Palace, but how did Wen Ru know that there is a mechanism under this stone statue? I scratched my head and muttered to myself.

I didn't hear the voice of the palace lord for a long time, and turned my head to find him looking back and forth on the stone statue, and asked him what was wrong, and the palace lord said that he always felt that there was something wrong with this altar.

"You are a good hand at visiting the tomb, you should take a good look at this altar to see if there is anything wrong." Gong Jue said.

I re-examined this altar, it is very typical of the Qin Dynasty style, sitting south and facing north on the central axis symmetrically built, and I didn't see anything wrong after looking at it for a long time.

"Left and right symmetrical...... Tian Ji's eyes lit up and patted the stone statue and said. If the hand of this stone statue is not raised, it will be really symmetrical. ”

Gong Jue and I were stunned, and we all looked at the hand raised by the stone statue, and sure enough, as Tian Ji said, the pattern in this altar was originally fixed, but unfortunately this stone statue raised a hand, no wonder Gong Jue always felt that the pattern here was weird.

The altar is solemn, such a stone statue is a complete failure, will destroy the style of the entire altar, this altar is used for Qin Shi Huang's sacrifice, it is absolutely impossible to make mistakes and mistakes, unless......

"Unless the stone statue's hand is intentionally raised." The palace lord slowly put his gaze and the stone statue's hand on the line, and then looked at a place on the altar and smiled faintly.

We climbed down from the statue, and following the direction of the statue's fingers, we found a well on the periphery of the altar, and there were twelve of them, evenly distributed around the altar, which was supposed to represent time.

The well where we are standing is exactly where the stone statue's finger is, and next to the well is one of the pillars that supports the altar, which is carved with elaborate patterns, and the reflection is vivid in the well water.

Gong Jue's gaze slowly moved from the well to the pillar next to it, and soon found a boxy depression in the carved pattern, on which were distributed black and white beads, these beads could be moved, and black and white could clearly combine different patterns.

This should be the place that the fingers of the stone statue suggest, the palace lord gently put his ear on the pillar, flicked a bead slightly, his face suddenly changed greatly, and the bead carefully retreated to its original position: "These beads can't be moved, the pillar that supports the altar has a mechanism inside, once triggered, the entire altar will collapse instantly, unless these black and white beads are placed in the correct pattern." ”

There is still some secret hidden in this altar, and it is better to destroy it to ensure that the secret is not revealed, but there are many patterns that can be placed with black and white beads, and no one knows the correct way to open it without prompting.

Suddenly found that Tian Ji didn't know where to go, we had never seen him since the stone statue came down, and now it was a race against time, and there was no time to care about him, since the stone statue pointed to the well, there should be a connection between the two, I stood by the well, and the beautifully carved lines on the pillar were reflected in it.

There is a strange animal in the pattern, the body is like a horse, but it is the head of a dragon, dragon claws, and scales on its body, and it looks like an auspicious beast without a violent atmosphere.

The animal loomed in the water waves, and the palace lord was fascinated by the side, and suddenly muttered: "Ryoma? ”

"It's Hetu!" The palace lord and I said it in unison.

Previously, the organ on the tomb door said that it was evolved according to Lianshan Yi, and Lianshan Yi has been lost for a long time, but whether it is Lianshan, Guizang or Zhou Yi, these are all evolved from the river map on Ryoma.

The dragon horse statue on the pillar is reflected in the well, which just metaphorizes the dragon horse negative picture out of the water, and the palace jue has long been familiar with the river map book, and soon placed a black and white river map pattern in the groove.

When the last bead was flicked, the complete river map pattern was split in two, revealing a jade box in the center of the column, exactly the same as the one Wen Ru had opened before.

I took out the jade box from the center of the pillar, and after opening it, there was a large bronze dragon horse with a slap inside, and the rest was a semi-circular groove, which should have put something in it, but unfortunately it was no longer there, and there was nothing else, someone deliberately led us here, presumably to let us discover this bronze dragon horse, as for what purpose it is unknown.

I put away the bronze dragon horse, and the palace lord was worried that after we left, the archaeological team members would accidentally trigger the mechanism, causing the altar to collapse and close the mechanism from the center of the pillar.

"Well, this altar won't collapse."

"Who said that, hurry up." Tian Ji finally showed up, looking panicked. "I'm afraid you wouldn't have dreamed of what Wen Ru put in this altar."

"What did he put in it?" Gong Jue and I asked curiously.

"I just saw that there was something wrong with the old thing, and just now I went to check where he stayed, and I actually found this."

Tian Ji picked up a bundle of explosives to help the timer in his hand, and there were less than five minutes left in the countdown time set on it, Tian Ji said that once the power of this explosive exploded in the altar, the impact force would make the soil layer instantly soft and collapse, which would cause a larger-scale mudslide, to destroy this altar, one explosive was enough, but Wen Ru actually placed five in the altar!

None of us thought that Wen Ru, who is known as a highly respected archaeological master, would actually want to blow up this place!

As soon as I thought of this, the archaeological team members had come in one after another, and when I saw the exhausted Ye Zhiqiu, I was suddenly shocked, judging from the time of the timer, Wen Ru left enough time for himself to leave safely.

But in addition to wanting to destroy the altar, he also planned to keep all the people involved in this archaeological excavation a secret, and the best way was to destroy it with the altar.

"Time is running out, it's important to save people, let's let these archaeological ones exit first." Tian Ji looked upright.

I grabbed Tian Ji's hand, shook my head and said calmly: "This altar must be blown up, even if we know that this place is about to explode, we can't tell anyone else." ”
