The breakfast made by Scourge Dream was ordinary. Two omelettes, a loaf of bread, a glass of milk, that's all. However, under her supernatural cooking skills, no matter how ordinary things are, they can be made delicious, anyway, Xu Tianshi is very happy to eat. There were only two people in the world who were qualified to eat the food made by the maiden, one was herself, and the other was a teenager. Anyone else...... I want to eat and make it myself.
Outside the secret passage.
Xu Tianshi glanced inside curiously: "This is the secret passage?" I can't see anything in the black rumbling. The cave was pitch black, and the eyes couldn't penetrate it at all, even if it was with the eyes of the evil dragon and the physical fitness of "stepping through the mountains and rivers". Teacher Huiyin said that stepping through mountains and rivers is the name of the stage performance level that only martial artists who specialize in cultivating their own bodies will use, and the last stage of "physical sanctification" already has the main god energy level, and "stepping through mountains and rivers" is equivalent to the demigod energy level. It's a pity that he is not a martial artist, and this body is at most a little more durable than others......
"People don't understand very well, probably some strange formation is doing something." The nine-tailed fox said softly.
"It's not a formation, there's something wrong with what is painted on these stones." Qing'e Niangniang looked at it carefully for a long time, then raised her head and said to the nine-tailed fox.
Xu Tianshi was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "Impossible." Ordinary paints only use some principles that I don't understand to confuse ordinary people's eyes, and people like us who have nothing to do with science should not be affected. Qing'e, are you mistaken? β
Qing'e Niangniang glanced at him, and said dissatisfiedly: "I am not the aboriginal of this world, how can I know those strange things." In the Celestial Empire of our world, it was very common for tombs to use this kind of paint mixed with 'river ink'. Remember that my well-dressed mound was like that. β
Xu Tianshi looked at the nine-tailed fox with a blank face: "What is Hemo?" Have you heard of the fox? β
The nine-tailed fox shook his head. She entered Valhalla too early, and many things in the future generations did not know.
Lao Gu raised his head on the edge of the secret passage, frowned, and said, "I think I know a little. β
Xu Tianshi's eyes lit up: "Say it quickly." "It's worthy of being a local captain who touches gold, but it's more reliable than the evil immortals of other worlds.
"I've heard a grave robber say it before. There is an imperial tomb that is as dark as night, and it is difficult for any light source to take effect, and only the ever-bright lamp lit with the oil of the merman's corpse can emit light. That time, they found that they had found an emperor's mausoleum, but when they entered, they found that they couldn't see their fingers, and as a result, only he was the only one who escaped from the 20 people, and the others couldn't even find the body. β
"Hmph, you're talking about bangs giving birth to them. A group of souls who only know destruction deserve to die. The lamb snorted coldly. Pouted disdainfully.
Lao Gu touched his head, and said in his heart that who robs the tomb now doesn't only know how to destroy.
"Old Gu, I also remembered when you said that. They said they had found a tomb of Cao Cao, and they said it was absolutely true. Liu Haisheng is that little deflated child. I know it's blind all the time. Hey, let you get a, let's die in the end, remember we had a drink to celebrate the end of another tomb robber. The fat man slapped his forehead in a sudden realization and said gloatingly.
The fire of gossip burned brightly. He said excitedly, "Hey, tell me more about it." "Cao Cao's tomb is one of the famous mysteries in the history of the Celestial Empire. It is said that Cao Cao repaired seventy-two doubtful mounds, and he was afraid of tomb robbers. During his lifetime, he dug up the graves of many people in order to raise military salaries. After he died, he was quite afraid that he would encounter the same thing. Some time ago, didn't a Cao Cao tomb be dug up in Anyang, Henan, and some old experts at that time said that it was true. In the end, I fell into a dispute of doubt, and I don't know whether it's true or not.
Everyone understands the reputation of the experts of the Celestial Empire. Whenever they say "there is no end of the world", you have to ask someone to find a connection to buy a ticket. Of course, there are truths, but there are too many lies, and sometimes the truth is told so that people can't believe it - anyway, Xu Tianshi never believes it.
Lao Gu got up and patted the dust on his pants and said, "There's nothing to say." The gang of tomb robbers didn't know where to get a map of Cao Cao's tomb, and they showed it in front of us all day long, and said that they poured out good things to open our eyes. The result? Gleefully got into it and crawled out in disgrace. β
"That tomb is really Cao Cao's?" Xu Tianshi asked curiously.
"I don't know, Liu Haisheng's deflated third son died not long after he came out, as if he had been poisoned in the tomb. But the stuff he said is similar to this place, so we'd better be careful. Lao Gu's face was solemn, and he had a bad premonition in his heart. They didn't say where the tomb was, could it be the one in front of them...... Just give it a try.
Thinking of this, he took out a candle from his backpack and lit it and threw it into the secret passage. The dark entrance of the cave was like the mouth of a giant beast, and the firelight disappeared without a trace, without even an echo. Unbelievingly, he turned on a flashlight and threw it down, still the same as the last time, without a trace of light.
"Old Gu, this secret passage ...... It's kind of wicked. The fat man swallowed his saliva and said with an ugly face.
"This is not like a secret passage, does the craftsman have the spare time to create this kind of 'secret passage'?" Xu Tianshi tilted his head, his eyebrows furrowed. Unless the craftsmen who built the tomb had more time and could take a plane three times a day, who would come up with so many tricks for an escape route. Setting up a formation outside the secret passage can be barely explained by "planning for future tomb robbing", but will the passage for tomb robbery be so weird?
"Commander, let Nero try it with the Primordial Fire. If you really can't help it...... I'll have to go back and discuss countermeasures. The nine-tailed fox wagged its tail and said indifferently. She is only interested in digging the ancestral graves of people with the surname "Ji", and other people's are just a waste of time. If it weren't for Xu Tianshi's thoughts, she wouldn't have had much to doβwouldn't it be more interesting to abuse teenagers or something on the interstellar world.
"Huh? I? Okay, I'll give it a try. Nero sighed, summoned the primordial fire, and reluctantly walked to the secret passage. Flames burned on the odd-shaped sword, but unfortunately it still couldn't illuminate the darkness. She shrugged her shoulders helplessly, happy in her heart.
Everyone looked at each other.
"Time is on the top, isn't it good to be a teacher? Lao Gu, you are experts in this area, is there any good way? β
Lao Gu said unwillingly: "It's the first time we've seen this kind of fight, and I really can't think of a way." Alas. Dig down from the top of the tomb. β
Qing'e Niangniang, who had been silent, finally couldn't help but say loudly: "You guys, are you thinking too much? It is just a paint mixed with 'river ink', which can be easily solved by a spectral and light-avoiding technique. "This thing can handle even a cultivator who has just entered the industry, but very few cultivators are willing to surrender their identity to rob tombs.
"Damn. You don't say it sooner. β
"You didn't ask."
ββ¦β¦β
Qing'e Niangniang waved her hand, and the black spiritual light came out, and the darkness that had plagued everyone for a long time faded backwards like a living thing. She glanced at everyone, and the contempt in her eyes made the nine-tailed fox have the urge to draw a mirror and smash people, and the three captains who touched the gold were even more ashamed and wanted to dig a pit directly to bury themselves and count the ball.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
The secret passage is three meters high and five meters wide, enough to accommodate a Mercedes-Benz with a heavy truck sprinkled with joy inside. The whole thing is made up of huge stones, and the joints are so tight that not even a blade can be inserted. There are no steps here, but a rather steep slope. The angle is a standard 45Β° - calculated by the Scepter of Nightmare.
"Don't you think it's weird? This ramp must be very close to the ground, why hasn't anyone noticed it? Xu Tianshi looked at the top of his head and suddenly said to everyone. At this time, he could already confirm that this was by no means an escape path built by the craftsmen, unless the group of craftsmen could fight until they were exhausted.
"As far as I can see. The outer layer of the stone should be pasted with a talisman for driving away people. This kind of talisman is only effective for ordinary people, and it is difficult for cultivators to detect it. Qing'e Niangniang glanced at the young man, and no longer had hope in his knowledge reserves. Evil Dragons are all excellent plane merchants, and he will inevitably embark on this path in the future, but ...... That's it. Isn't he afraid that he will lose even his underwear?
"Ahem, hurry, hurry."
Three hours later.
"It's too long." The fat man wiped the sweat from his head and complained. Although a few of them were taught the "land walking technique" by Qing'e Niangniang, they could walk on the ground on steep slopes. But being vigilant while walking around can still increase physical exertion. The physical fitness of the three golden lieutenants is just the level of ordinary people, which is like that group of people who have changed their attitude. None of them are human.
"Xu Tianshi, where are we now?" Lao Gu patted the fat man on the shoulder. Signal him to be calm. Originally, they were going to explore the path first, and they would wait for the evening, after all, how could there be a captain who touched the gold during the day. But judging by the length of the passage now, I'm afraid it will be dawn by the time they get there.
As soon as Xu Tianshi raised his hand, a holographic three-dimensional image appeared in front of him.
"Nine hundred and twenty-seven meters underground...... Wait, Nightmare Scepter, are you right? β
βofcoursenotγβ
"Haven't arrived at nearly a kilometer? Are you really sure this is a tomb and not something else? Xu Tianshi asked in disbelief. Tombs built one kilometer deep underground, did the ancients have such imba? This productivity is going to break through the sky, it's a dull soul!
"I was sure, but now I'm not sure." Lao Gu really wants to go down and take a look, maybe he will starve to death and not even get to the place......
"What's the fuss, people's tombs are built six thousand meters underground." The nine-tailed fox shrugged and said with a smile.
"Damn, are you a tomb?"
"Commander, he is an honest little fox who never lies, right? As far as people know, the real mausoleum of Ji Fa's guy was built 10,000 meters underground, and what he was afraid of was that group of cultivators. It's not without people who can escape to a depth of 10,000 meters, but the harvest is completely disproportionate to what is consumed. "Damn shrunken turtle, why did you build the tomb so deep, don't you obediently let the family plan?
ββ¦β¦ It's not clear, but it's powerful. β
"No, let's rest for a while." The lamb sat on the ground, panting for breath.
Xu Tianshi looked at his watch, it was almost 12 o'clock.
"It's okay, eat something and rest for an hour." With a wave of his hand, he swept everyone into the Hidden Dragon, and then got into it himself. It's not that he doesn't sympathize with everyone, who knows what's in this ghost place, so the three Touching Gold Captains must be outside. Qing'e wants to cast spells, the nine-tailed fox has to keep the insurance, and the calamity dream can't be put in, so only Nero is practicing interstellar technology in the hidden dragon. Speaking of which, although Hidden Dragon can collect people, he can't hide the lifeform retrieval of the Leaping Red Lotus, otherwise he wouldn't have brought only these two people to fight.
After the break. The crowd set out on the road again.
The secret passage remained unchanged, as if there was no end to it. The initial excitement and excitement of the Captain Touching Gold completely calmed down, and they just walked forward mechanically. They weren't even interested in asking about the time, as for how long the secret passage was...... Love for a long time. I don't believe it, I can't go to the end!
"Fox, your tomb also has such a long secret passage?" Xu Tianshi broke the silence and asked curiously.
"Why do people build secret roads to show people the way?" The nine-tailed fox's ears twitched.
"What about the remains? It is not even necessary to build a road to transport the remains. And those craftsmen who built the mausoleum, they don't need to eat and drink Lazar? Could it be that their physiological problems are all solved in the mausoleum......" Xu Tianshi couldn't help but shiver when he said this. Time is on the top, what a smell in that tomb.
"Commander, don't say such disgusting things, okay...... At that time, people used teleportation arrays. The slaves who built the tomb would build a temporary dwelling for themselves. After the mausoleum was built, he was directly killed and martyred, anyway, there were as many barbarian slaves as there were. After the tomb owner dies, the body will be transported directly to the tomb through the teleportation array, and the dead will destroy the magic circle, and the mausoleum will be completely isolated. β
"Burial of the living?" Xu Tianshi felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
The nine-tailed fox shrugged. said: "During the Yin Shang period, it was very common to use living people for burial. The blood of the living is indispensable for activating the final defensive circle. Besides, barbarian slaves are just big merchants, so why do they care if they live or die. β
"Isn't human life valuable?"
"Everything for the slaves is given by us. More than enough to buy a life. Speaking of which, human life is less valuable now than it was back then, at least in the land of the Great Merchants, no one dares to kill others at will, even if the other party is a slave. Even if the princes and nobles commit a life lawsuit, they will be severely punished, and they will never lose a little money. Especially the officials in charge of law enforcement. If they dare to kill people for no reason, they will be punished with heavy punishment of raiding their homes and exterminating their clans. β
"......" Xu Tianshi had nothing to say.
"The law was so strict back then?" Old Gu was finally able to lift his spirits, which was different from what they knew.
"It's not harsh. Cultivators who kill at will will be punished by the Heavenly Dao. Even if you only kill one person, it will be twice as difficult, unless you are blessed by the Emperor's luck. Of course. If you break the law set by the emperor, don't think about the catastrophe in this life. Ordinary people are the same, if they kill the people blessed by the emperor's luck, they will be doomed, so those who dare to kill must be ready to bring disaster to the tenth generation. β
"What about slaves? They don't have the blessing of the emperor's luck? The fat man also came up.
"Slaves die of their own free will. That's how the way of heaven is, what people give you, you have to return the equivalent of something. Human life is not priceless, it just comes at a high price. If they have given them the flame of civilization, then they must give back something of equal value to others without compromising their overall continuity. If there is nothing to return, then you can only pay it back with human life. β
"It's really 'fair'." Xu Tianshi shook his head and stopped talking about this topic.
Suddenly, the ground, which had been sloping downward, became flat.
Everyone was immediately in high spirits, and Nima finally came to the end!
Xu Tianshi waved his hand to summon a three-dimensional image, and the numbers on it made him burst into tears.
"Time is on the top, this is nearly three kilometers deep underground!" No wonder there is a pedestrian street above the tomb, and if you build an Empire State Building on it, this tomb means that there is no pressure! Is this sister really the tomb of the end of the Three Kingdoms? Not from the period of Yin Shang?
"Fatty, take out the map quickly, hurry up!" Lao Gu's face was flushed with excitement, and the other two were the same as him. Fortunately, I found a group of good teammates this time, otherwise they would definitely not be able to fight this fight! The more difficult it is, the more excited they become. The more difficult the bucket is, doesn't it prove that the contents are not better?
The fat man took out the map without saying a word and opened it excitedly.
"There should be ...... ahead When I didn't say. The three of them looked at the three-dimensional image speechlessly, which could throw off a flat map for several streets.
"There should be a door in front of here, go and see it first." Xu Tianshi took a look at the image and beckoned everyone to follow.
Only about fifty meters away, a door as big as a secret passage appeared in front of everyone's eyes. The gate as a whole is dark and dull, as if it was made of metal melting, and there is no carved pattern on it, only two lines of large characters. In front of the door stood two humanoid objects in full-body armor, with blades in their hands showing no trace of time.
"Old Gu, what's written on it?" Xu Tianshi touched his head and asked the man beside him.
"If you are not an orphan, the trespasser will die." Lao Gu said word by word.
"Lonely?" Xu Tianshi raised his eyebrows. After Qin Shi Huang, emperors generally referred to themselves as "I", and monarchs before him would refer to themselves as "solitary" or "widowed". If you don't ascend the throne and claim the emperor, you don't have the qualifications to call yourself "I", of course, if you are willing to call yourself like this, no one will care about you, provided that you don't let outsiders hear. The fact that the tomb owner did not call himself "I" means that he has not yet ascended the throne, but who will call himself "Lonely" at the end of the Three Kingdoms......
Liu Bei? He was proclaimed emperor. Sun quan? He was also proclaimed emperor. Yuan Shao? He died before he was proclaimed emperor, but his younger brother Yuan Shu was proclaimed emperor, but unfortunately he was the emperor for a few days. Cao Cao? He did not claim the title of emperor in his life, and it was his son who claimed the title of emperor. Could it be that this is Cao Cao's tomb? Hey, Cao Jin seems to be Cao Cao's descendants, we are digging people's ancestral graves......
Cao Mengde...... This is a tomb of Cao Cao! Old Gu's voice trembled with excitement.
"Lao Gu, let's send it this time! Look at this posture is not like a suspicious clum, this *** must be Cao Cao's fight! The fat man wanted to look up to the sky and laugh three times at this time.
"I said you two don't be careless, didn't you read what was written on it? None of us are descendants of Cao Cao, and this trip must be extremely dangerous. Although the lamb is also very excited, the sixth sense unique to women makes her always feel that there is nothing good in the future. Cao Cao can make such a big stance, and he will never put any defensive means in the tomb.
"Cao Cao's heir? Looks like there's a ......" (......) ββ
