Chapter 54: The Everlasting Lamp

Everyone hurriedly leaned their heads over to take a look, and there was really a boxy hole under the floor tiles, but strangely, the hole was empty.

Xia Longsheng looked a little disappointed, and shouted loudly: "Fuck, it took so much effort, why is there nothing!" ”

Huang Yixian stared at the void for a while, but suddenly bent down and put his hand inside.

"Mr. Huang, what are you ......" Professor Dong had not finished speaking, when suddenly there was a sound of the mechanism starting from the ground, and everyone was stunned for a moment.

Huang Yixian raised his head and said to everyone: "Actually, this is not for loading things, it is itself an opening mechanism!" It turned out that Huang Yixian just put his hand in and tried to press it in the hole.

After a while, the sound of the mechanism opening abruptly stopped, followed by a loud "boom".

Everyone subconsciously turned their heads to see that the stone door behind them was not opened, which means that another stone door in the tomb has been opened. It's just that because the arc of the entire tomb has reached almost a 90-degree angle, the situation at the corner of the tomb is not visible, and it is not known which direction the stone door is opened.

Huang Yixian pondered for a moment and said, "Go!" Let's go check it out! ”

Everyone followed behind Huang Yixian, bypassing the bones and bones on the ground, and walked forward cautiously.

Just a few steps forward, everyone was shocked by the situation in front of them, only to see that in the center of the arc wall in the tomb, there is a stone door, the stone door is slowly opening, and what makes people feel unbelievable is that there is a dim beam of light shining out from the stone door.

According to Huang Yixian's speculation, the inner arc wall of the second layer of the tomb corresponds to the main burial chamber of the entire mausoleum, that is, where Shao Yuanjie's tomb is located.

If that's the case, then what's going on with this beam? Could it be that there are other people in there!?

Professor Dong exclaimed, "Could it be that those tomb robbers are inside?" ”

Seabeard immediately pulled out his pistol and said coldly, "Hmph! If they're really inside, they'll be arrested. ”

"Let's go, go in and have a look!"

Everyone picked up the guy and walked quickly to the stone door, and looked, inside the door was an arched corridor two or three meters long, and the beam of light came out of the tomb at the other end of the corridor.

Under the leadership of Huang Yixian, everyone cautiously stepped into the corridor and walked towards the tomb.

When I walked into the tomb, I was speechless by the scene in front of me.

This is a circular burial chamber, with a diameter of more than ten meters, and in the center of the burial chamber is a gossip pattern protruding about one foot from the ground, in the center of this gossip, there is a black square boulder that is two meters long and one meter high, which looks like a coffin, and what makes everyone extremely shocked is that the light in the tomb actually comes from an oil lamp!

Although the light from the oil lamps was dim and faint, it was enough to send a chill through each of us. You know, this is in a completely sealed tomb, not to mention that the oxygen is so thin that it is not enough to support the continuous burning of the oil lamp, and the key question is, who lit the oil lamp?

The grave robbers? But it doesn't look like no one has been here before us.

Could it be that the owner of the tomb came back to life and lit the oil lamp himself!?

I shuddered involuntarily at the thought of this.

Huang Yixian's eyes were fixed on the quietly burning oil lamp, and he muttered, "This ...... This is the legendary lantern ......"

I hurriedly asked, "Uncle Shi, what does the ever-bright lamp mean?" Could it be that this oil lamp has been burning for hundreds of years? ”

Huang Yixian nodded and said, "According to classical records, Taoism has a long-lost thaumaturgy that can use the aura of heaven and earth to create a bright lamp that will not burn for thousands of years, even if there is no air, it can continue to burn. I originally thought it was a fantasy, but I didn't expect that such a magic lamp really exists. ”

"This ...... How is this possible, and if there really is a permanent lamp, wouldn't it violate the principle of conservation of energy? Xia Longsheng didn't believe what Huang Yixian said.

Huang Yixian glanced at him and said, "There are many things that cannot be explained by modern science, but they are real, for example, you were ghosted just now, can you explain it by any principle?" ”

"I ......," Xia Longsheng was speechless for a while.

Huang Yixian glanced towards the tomb, then focused on the black square boulder in the center of the tomb, he frowned, and walked towards the boulder. All of us are hurrying to keep up.

However, just after taking a few steps forward, Huang Yixian suddenly stopped and stretched out his hand to stop everyone.

He said slowly: "Don't go over, that's Shao Yuanjie's coffin." ”

"What!? That stone is a coffin! "I couldn't help but be taken aback.

As soon as he heard that it was Shao Yuanjie's coffin, Seabeard suddenly became interested: "Since it is Shao Yuanjie's coffin, then I have to go and see it!" He pulled a crowbar out of his backpack and walked towards the black sarcophagus.

Huang Yixian hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold him and said, "Never!" His coffin is not made of ordinary materials, but made of soul stones! Soul stones can capture people's souls, so don't be careless. ”

When Seabeard heard this, he quickly took a few steps back, not daring to get any closer.

Huang Yixian glanced at the tomb and sighed: "Although this Shao Yuanjie is ruthless, he is worthy of being a Taoist master, and today I really have a lot of knowledge." Speaking of this, he suddenly changed his words, turned to Professor Dong and said, "Professor Dong, although there are a lot of gold and silver treasures hidden in this mausoleum, it must not be excavated easily, so as not to cause a catastrophe. ”

Professor Dong hurriedly said: "Mr. Huang, don't worry, after I go back, I will write a detailed report and recommend that this mausoleum continue to be sealed." ”

Huang Yixian nodded: "Let's get out of here as soon as possible, there seems to be only one entrance and exit to this main tomb, if it is delayed for too long, if the mausoleum turns again, maybe we will have to wait here for twelve hours." ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, twelve hours is twenty-four hours, and the oxygen left in our oxygen cylinders can last for seven or eight hours at most, if it is another twenty-four hours, I am afraid that we will be suffocated to death.

Everyone didn't dare to stay any longer, so they hurriedly retreated the same way.

After returning to the tomb covered with corpses, everyone groped for a while, and finally Huang Yixian found the opening mechanism of the stone door that connected to the previous tomb.

As soon as the stone door opened, Seabeard hurriedly rushed into the tomb, and was relieved to see Liu Chengwu and Li Song sitting there against the wall unharmed.

It's time to get out of here, however, it is not easy to find a way out, although the whole mausoleum may have four tomb paths, but what really you can figure out with the outside world is actually only the Xuanwu Tomb Road that we entered, and now the problem is that after we come in, the whole mausoleum has been turned many times, and one will be clockwise, and one will be counterclockwise, so how can we turn back to the Xuanwu Tomb Road?

For a moment, everyone was a little confused.

Huang Yixian pondered for a moment, then suddenly took out the compass from his satchel, lay on the ground and fiddled with it, and asked curiously on the side, "Dad, what are you doing here?" ”

Huang Yixian replied without raising his head: "I'm reorganizing the model!" ”

The cheap was slightly stunned: "Model reorganization? What does it mean? ”

"It's about making a model of the mausoleum pattern, and using this model to determine where we are."

When everyone heard this, they were curious and immediately gathered around.

Huang Yixian explained: "In fact, the construction pattern of this Tianzhi God Tomb is somewhat similar to the arrangement of the compass, so if this compass is regarded as this mausoleum, then we can quickly determine where we are currently located." ”

Listening to Huang Yixian say this, and thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is really the case, there are also heavenly stems and terrestrial branches on the compass, and there are indeed some similarities with the pattern of the Tianzhi Divine Tomb.

After Huang Yixian buried his head and fiddled with it for a while, he suddenly patted his head, raised his head and said, "The tomb we are in now is actually facing the Xuanwu Tomb Road!" Between it and the Xuanwu Tomb Road, it is just a Yougong Palace separated by the outer earth branch of the twelve palaces! ”

"Mr. Huang, are you sure?"

Huang Yixian nodded affirmatively: "Sure!" He looked at his watch again and said, "However, in less than half an hour the mausoleum will be turning again, so hurry up and find the mechanism that opens this stone door as soon as possible." ”

The big guy didn't dare to delay, and immediately groped around the walls of the tomb.

Since the stiffness in this tomb has been solved, everyone is much bolder, and their movements have accelerated a lot. After a while, I found a mechanism, and when I pressed it, it was the mechanism that opened the outer arc wall of the tomb.

Led by Huang Yixian, the group passed through the stone gate in turn and entered a new tomb.

As soon as I walked into this burial chamber, I was greeted by a row of pottery sculptures, everyone knew what these pottery sculptures meant, and they didn't dare to get too close, and they all walked around the wall one by one.

Walking into the tomb, I took a closer look, the layout of this tomb is not much different from the previous one in the Di Zhi Wei Palace, in the center of the tomb is also placed a row of wooden shelves, on the wooden shelves are placed many porcelain vases and porcelain bowls, it seems that the layout of the twelve palaces of the earth branch should be not much different.

On the floor in the center of the tomb, you can see a big "unitary" character, Huang Yixian really did not make a mistake, this is really the earthly branch of the unitary palace.

However, although the current earthly branch of the Yougong and the Xuanwu Tomb Road are only separated by a wall, we can't go out directly from this tomb, because the Youyou belongs to the Yin Branch, according to Huang Yixian's speculation, only the tomb with the attribute of the Yang Branch can be figured out from the outside world. Therefore, we still have to rotate clockwise again in the twelve signs of the earthly branch, and then enter the palace of the earthly branch corresponding to the Xuanwu tomb road at that time.
