"Quick! Fast! Kuroko gestured anxiously, and waited until Xiu'er and I got in, and then hurriedly dived down with one hand with the rock, and the strange and gloomy lake above our heads and the dense blue water rats were suddenly left behind, and we successfully entered the ancient tomb.

The water that flowed into the lake through the gap was not small, and although the falling water lost its support as the rocks closed, the rapid momentum came to an abrupt halt, but we were also washed away a considerable distance. It wasn't until a majestic underground structure appeared under the illumination of the miner's lamp that the impact of the flowing water was not felt.

Wait a minute! Without running water, wouldn't we be floating in the air now?

"Holy!" Before I could fully understand the question, my body had already slammed into the roof of a tomb room that had been washed away a second ago, followed by three 'clangs' to indicate that the three of them had the same fate.

"It's finally here!" Old man Shi behaved like before, not caring at all about the pain in his body caused by falling, and only caring about emotion.

Heizi, like me and Xiu'er, rubbed the painful parts of his body, cautiously stepped on the stable roof, and asked, "Old man Shi, is this the ancient tomb that Prime Minister Hu built for himself?" ”

"You can't be wrong, it's full of Ming Dynasty architecture, and I'm not mistaken, it's really here. Let's go, this house has gone through so many years, I don't know how long it can last, so let's hurry up and go down to the cemetery first! Old man Shi looked quite excited, the occasional light hit his face, the expression that could be seen, in addition to excitement or excitement, it was obvious that this ancient tomb was much more attractive to him than the two of us.

Thinking like this, I stole a look at Kuroko. But I saw him chuckling and nodding at me, and his hand gently pressed down into the void, signaling me not to act rashly for the time being.

Judging from the scene seen above the roof, this underground space was supposed to be a space similar to a naturally formed cave, but it was later discovered by Prime Minister Hu and excavated and expanded. Underground space has been expanded. This is also related to the choice of cemeteries during the Ming Dynasty, which mostly chose closed areas surrounded by mountains. The so-called mountains and rivers are nothing more than that.

The four of us went down to the tomb, and the old man speculated that everyone should still be in the center of the first half of the tomb at this time, and they had to continue to walk deeper. The illumination distance of the four head-mounted miner's lamps is limited, but fortunately, they can barely see the buildings on the left and right sides with each other, and as they walk, they can gradually see some tall archways erected on the tomb road, big red gates, and occasionally there are stele pavilion-like buildings on both sides.

The ear chambers of the typical Ming style are lined up with luxury. But most of them were just an empty shelf, and when the light shone through, the inside was empty.

Old man Shi explained, "It is very likely that these ear chambers were prepared by the prime minister surnamed Hu for his family after his death, but he didn't expect that the emperor would be so vicious, cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, and even the nine clans, so that he built such a magnificent ancient tomb, but he could only enjoy it by himself." ”

Oddly enough. Entering this ancient tomb, we don't have the same trepidation as before. The trembling feeling is like entering the mansion of a rich and noble family, without thinking about any deadly mechanism or anything like that.

Old man Shi looked at the scene in front of him, and said with emotion, "The ancients believed that people could still live a life similar to the yang world in the underworld after death, and the dead should be treated as 'death as life', so the architectural furnishings in the ancient tombs." All the articles that accompany the burial should be modeled after the human world. ”

Xiu'er suddenly asked, "Really?" But an ancient tomb of this scale doesn't look like what a prime minister should have, but like an imperial tomb. ”

Kuroko didn't say a word, and while walking, he carefully looked at almost all corners, looking for what Pang Qinghe's father was hiding here.

Old man Shi heard this. replied helplessly: "Maybe this prime minister wants to become the emperor in the underworld!" Who knows! ”

"It's been a while, let's not talk about any precious treasures, I haven't even seen some basic written records, what did you say when the news was released that there was a big tomb here, which attracted those tomb robbers?" I asked.

"To be honest, I don't know much about it, that respected old man is not only a leader in the tomb robbery industry, but also a big man in the alliance, so his words have this weight. I remember listening to the tomb robbers who followed me before: the difficulty is how to find the tomb here, because once the exact location is determined, there will be no mechanism in the tomb. You can enjoy the funerary goods to your heart's content, but remember that the most precious thing is an item that does not match the style of the tomb at all, and is secretly hidden here by future generations. That's the most valuable, and as for where the value is embodied, you will know when you get it! ”

"Damn! Wouldn't you have said something so important earlier? After hearing this, I immediately became angry, Nima's, tossed and tossed, it turned out that everyone was chasing the same item.

Xiu'er smiled at me, "Don't be angry, we've managed to get here anyway, as long as we find it, it's fine." However, if someone clearly spreads this kind of news, it means that Pang Qinghe's father is not completely unknown about the hiding of that item. ”

I looked at Kuroko, "Originally, it was just a simple matter to take something back and hand it over, but I didn't expect that so many things were inexplicably involved, so there was no time when I could simply solve the problem?" ”

A strange smile appeared on Kuroko's face, "In the dictionary of the underworld, there is no such thing as simple. Mosquitoes, you don't realize this by now, do you? ”

I'm ashamed and scratchy about this question, admit it, it seems that I was too naïve. I didn't admit it, and I couldn't explain why I said that just now, so I had to quickly change the subject: "How is it, is there a clue about that thing?" ”

Kuroko was helpless, "The place is so big, we don't even know how big that thing is, what shape it is, what it is, do you think there will be clues?" ”

Old Man Shi smiled without saying a word, and slowed down his pace, concentrating on the study of this ancient tomb, the eyes in his pupils did not seem to me to be for some purpose, but the purest study of the tomb itself, as if mixed with the emotion, excitement and all kinds of complex emotions that are difficult to express when he finally saw the real thing after a long search. Maybe if the three of us weren't there, he would have really started crying.

Xiu'er quietly whispered to my ear: "Old man Shi, what's the matter?" ”

I shook my head, I had never felt anything like that for anyone or anything, and how could I know why he was the way he was.

The sunspot who was walking in front suddenly stopped, and we looked at the past, only to see that everyone had come to a building similar to a courtyard house, and the plaque on the door was written with four big characters 'The Way of Survival'. (To be continued......)
