I said to Shirley Yang: "Professor Li and Lin Fang have their own opinions, we can't believe them partially, let alone believe them all. If you can't run at the critical moment, you must not put yourself in for Lin Fang. ”

"Lao Hu, why didn't I see that you still have the potential to betray your teammates before, no matter what Lin Fang did wrong, you have to wait until we go out. She's still my friend, and she's been held hostage. ”

Although I knew that Shirley Yang was a person of great affection, I didn't expect her to be so determined to take care of this matter to the end, so I had to follow her down and say, "Don't forget, Master Yu and the other two archaeological team mates are also gone." The ancestors and grandchildren of the Wang family are the most suspicious, and Lin Fang can't get out of it. I agree with you, wait until you get people out. But you have to stand in line first, and you can't just be caught by her into the reactionary team. ”

"Alright, alright, where did you two young people come from?" Professor Li said impatiently, "All cheer up, you learn more from this little fat man." Look at his high morale and how imposing he is. You three come with me, and let's go find the main burial chamber. ”

I didn't agree with Professor Li to take the lead, insisted on opening the way ahead, he originally wanted to fight with me, but was carried to the back by the fat man, suffering from physical disadvantage, he finally reluctantly agreed to let me be the team leader, but the old man repeatedly emphasized that he was professional, and if there were special circumstances, he must obey his dispatch. I said yes with all my mouth, thinking that I would regret it when I met Lao Wangbayou.

The layout of the burial pits follows the law of the Qin Dynasty, with -six as the formation everywhere, and each burial pit is arranged in a multiple of six or six. As we walked along the walls, we found many unsealed passages, and we didn't know where they went. Professor Li said: "The group burial tomb is originally a family type, and the burial pit is equivalent to a public altar, so any road you walk can lead to the main burial chamber, and all roads lead to Rome. ”

I chose the southernmost of the roads and walked in with everyone. After staying underground for a long time, the concept of time became blurred, and Shirley Yang checked his watch and found that we had been walking for more than half an hour, during which he changed the bandage of the fat man again. Professor Li kept looking behind him, and when I asked him what he was doing, he said, "It's been a while since Captain Jiang left." Why haven't you caught up yet? I said, "There are marks left along the way, and there are so many PLA soldiers on the team, they can't all come down, maybe they are making strategic deployments." The fat man snickered and whispered to me secretly: "You are really bad, the targets are all reverse arrows." Captain Jiang will make you miserable this time. ”

I did this out of desperation, we have hostages in the hands of Wang Puyuan, he has always been ruthless, and no matter how many people come, it will be useless. What's more, there is no common sense in the underground world, even if they are regular troops, they can't escape from any of them. I only hope to be able to rescue people before the big army, and I'm not very interested in that Qin Shi Huang's alchemy furnace.

I took a closer look at this Niangniang's grave, sorted out the rumors I had heard before and after, and finally discussed it with Shirley Yang, and I thought that what Professor Li was talking about—Yunxiang Gou Yu and Phoenix Wings—was the treasure that the noble concubine brought out of the palace during the Song Dynasty. The ancients had an incomparably enthusiastic dedication to the feather ascending immortals, especially those rulers, who longed to be emperors for eternity and enjoy eternal wealth. Since this phoenix wing is related to the elixir divine tripod, it has naturally become one of the most important treasures of the royal family, but they don't know that the golden tripod itself sank to the bottom of the sea hundreds of years ago, so they have not been able to understand the mystery for a long time. When it came to the day of the death of the country, the concubine fled with the treasure that led to the tragedy of the later anger burning the mountain. The people are simple and ignorant, so they naturally bury the Niangniang and the soft they carry, which is why there is today's Youshui Niangniang's grave.

"So, Wang Puyuan is here for the elixir?" The fat man laughed, "Then he's really old and confused, is he really going to be a 10,000-year-old king?" ”

"The Wang family has a solid background, and it will definitely not be as simple as money to ask Wang Puyuan to go out in person. To say that this immortality really seems to mean a bit like that. Do you still remember that we tossed a lot of places before, and what we wanted to find was nothing more than what the Fountain of Immortality and Immortal Gu were, plus the current Golden Tripod Immortal Pill, all of which were related to immortality. I guessed it right. ”

Shirley Yang said vigilantly: "Don't forget, our previous actions were all chasing Old Man Zhang and running with bamboo poles. In this way, isn't Wang Puyuan the same as their goal? ”

The fat man suddenly stopped and exclaimed, "Staff Officer Yang has good eyesight, why didn't I think of this layer." I**, in this way, isn't that old Wang Ba the same as Old Man Zhang. One sings red-faced, the other sings black-faced, they are simply rats on a boat, and they come together to trap us! ”

I always felt that something was wrong, that everything seemed so coincidental. Now that I was shouted by the fat man, my heart immediately cheered. It's such a coincidence, it's like a negotiated!

Shirley Yang saw what was going on in my heart, sighed, then squeezed a smile and said, "It's not the last step yet, it's all our inferences just now." It's better to find them out first, and don't add a psychological burden to yourself here. ”

Professor Li had been following us, but in the blink of an eye, he ran forward again while we were talking. I hurried after him, his waist bent slightly, one hand against the wall, the other on his knee, staring at the ground and not knowing what he was looking at. I patted him lightly, and the old man almost jumped.

"What, what the hell?" The fat man smiled and looked in the direction of Professor Li's daze, and the smile suddenly froze at the corner of his mouth. I lowered my body and noticed that on the stone path about half a meter away from us, a set of red and white patterns appeared. I turned on my flashlight and looked at the other side of the stone path, and found that the light was full of these strange stripes. I crouched down and dipped my hand in a little red dye.

"Cinnabar." Professor Li said without hesitation, "This is the most common dye in ancient times, and red has a special meaning for us in China, and symbols drawn with cinnabar have been found in many tombs. ”

"What about this?" I've never seen this kind of zebra crossing-like graffiti on the ground.

"Let me see what the white one is." Professor Li lifted his glasses and reached out to rub them vigorously on the white paint. He rubbed his fingertips first, then stuck out his tongue and licked it.

"Ouch, this old man is disgusting, and he's not afraid of food poisoning." The fat man grinned and leaned towards me, and he whispered, "How can the things in the tomb be tried randomly, if he is unfortunate enough to be transformed, we will not dare to show mercy." ”

I said, "Professor Li is alive and well, where did the corpse come from?" When is your dog's mouth going to spit out some tusks? The fat man asked Professor Li, "What does the paint smell like?" Is it sweet? Professor Li rolled his eyes at him and said, "It's salt on the ground." ”

"Salt?" I didn't believe it, so I stepped forward and dipped some into my mouth, and a bitter, salty and wet taste immediately filled my mouth, and I hurriedly spit out several mouthfuls of foam, "Lao Li, is this salt?" ”

"Salt." Professor Li reaffirmed, "Ancient extraction techniques were limited, and most of them were dried directly with sea salt. The white salt on the ground has undergone special chemical processing, and the tomb is not ventilated, and no water vapor enters, so it can remain semi-solid all year round and adhere to the ground like paint. ”

Cinnabar and white salt, these are all common supplies to ward off evil spirits. I heard that in the pre-Qin period, it was popular to brand the dead with cinnabar on their foreheads, in order to prevent them from becoming stiff and injuring people after death. Isn't it always sung in the play, those Maoshan Taoist priests who draw talismans and town demons are always indispensable to cinnabar and chicken blood. Salt is the first of all kinds of flavors, and it has the effect of disinfection, and it has always been the top grade in the eyes of the people to ward off evil spirits and protect the house. I saw both things in the tomb at once, and I suddenly had a bad feeling.
