After carefully checking that there were no other mechanisms above the wall, the team came to the battlement on the other side of the wall, where hemp rope was tied.

Originally, Liu Cong wanted to test the strength of this rope to see if he could let the team borrow the rope and go directly into the city. But under his touch, the arm-thick hemp rope disintegrated in an instant, and some of it turned directly into fly ashes, apparently because it had been exposed to the air for too long, and it had all decayed.

Liu Cong's attention was on the hemp rope, but the eyes of the other people were full of shock when they stood on the city wall, and they stared at this magnificent underground city for a long time, unable to say a word.

Compared with the previous distant view, now this underground mausoleum city is really presented in front of everyone's eyes, one room and one house, one brick and one tile, it looks so clear, and each building presents a typical architectural style of the Tang Dynasty.

Although the people still can't see the whole city because of the light, and there are still many houses on both sides and in the distance, just the part of the buildings that appear in front of them is already unbelievable.

"I'll be obedient, if this place is simply decorated, it can be directly used as a movie city, compared to here, all the movie cities in the country combined are not as good as here." Looking at the huge underground city in front of him, Yang Lei shivered excitedly.

"Is this really built one-to-one according to the buildings of Chang'an City? You see, there's a stable over there. ”

"There...... It seems to be a yamen, and there is an attic, is the top floor the boudoir of a young lady? ”

"It should be. The tower seems to have been built in a courtyard, probably the back garden of a large family. "Everyone said a word, I said, and they all said the amazement in their hearts.

Chen Ziyang slowly moved his gaze from the bottom of the city wall into the distance, and he found that all the buildings in the city were built in an orderly manner, and they were very reasonable, which was very in line with the architectural style of ancient times.

The closer to the city walls, the lower the houses, the smaller the area, and the more shabby they looked, and they should have been where the commoners lived, and belonged to the civilian area.

However, the further you go to the city, the larger and larger the size and area of the building, the more luxurious it looks, and there are many eaves and houses with some decorative patterns, which are supposed to be inhabited by wealthy merchants and people of status.

At the end of his sight, in the hazy black shadow, there was a huge building, but because of the lack of light sources, he could only see that the building volume of this building was very large, but he couldn't see what it was.

Judging from the layout of the whole city, Chen Ziyang estimated that it was likely to be the location of the imperial palace, that is, the place where the coffin of the underground mausoleum was planned to be placed before it was abandoned.

Seeing that there were no useful clues from the city, Chen Ziyang looked around, wanting to see how others reacted. He found that there were two people's eyes that were obviously not in the same place as everyone, one was Liu Cong, who was staring at the battlement with a rope tied before, and the other was Guo Huaxing.

Guo Huaxing raised his head and stared at the pale green light curtain in mid-air, thoughtfully.

"Guo Zhenren, what are you looking at?"

"When I looked at it from a distance, I noticed that this level of light curtain was a little different, and I couldn't figure out why there was such a green glow from the ground. At that time, because of the distance, and later there was a city wall, I didn't understand it.

Now it seems that the top of the entire underground space should be inlaid with countless night pearls, some of these night pearls have lost their color and no longer shine, but some can still emit faint light, because the number of night pearls is too much, these lights gather together, so this pale green light curtain is formed. ”

"What! Pearl of the Night! Yang Lei jumped a few meters away with one step, came to Guo Huaxing's side, and stared up at the air with him. Chen Ziyang also raised his head.

Countless points of light gathered on the top of the underground space, gathered above the city of mausoleums, these points of light were large or small, bright or dark, one by one dotted in the dark mid-air.

"Are these really the pearls of the night? There are so many! Won't we get rich if we get a few? As soon as he heard that these points of light were likely to be the pearls of the night, Yang Lei was so excited that his voice changed, and two fine lights suddenly appeared in his eyes, even brighter than the green points of light in mid-air.

"Don't make a fuss, you're not ashamed. In ancient times, there were many types of night pearls, and there were many things that could shine in the dark that could be called night pearls. With so many of these glowing objects in mid-air, I guess it's very likely to be fluorescent.

The stone beads made of fluorescent stone are also a kind of luminous beads, which were very rare in ancient times, and they are worthless at all now, and you don't want to fight the idea of these things, even if they are valuable, they can't get it down at all. ”

Hearing Chen Ziyang say this, the light in Yang Lei's eyes disappeared in an instant, and after revealing a boring expression, he continued to look at the bottom of the city wall, as if he was looking for any place to hide the funeral goods.

"Although it is very likely that these things are not worth much, but the people who built this place are really large, and these night pearls are embedded in the air, and they look like starry sky." Staring at these flickering green lights in the dark, Chen Ziyang said with some emotion.

"Haha, I'll just say that your kid has Huigen, and I'll say that your kid is suitable for being my apprentice, and sure enough, you're right, these night pearls in the sky are indeed arranged according to the stars." Guo Huaxing on the side said very happily.

"I just watched it for a long time, and I always felt that the arrangement of these light spots was very familiar, and now that I think about it, it is indeed the case. You see there, those tiny points of light are lined up in the Milky Way, and there are two slightly brighter spots on both sides, which are the Cowherd and Vega, and there...... And there......"

Hearing Guo Huaxing's tireless words, Chen Ziyang also saw that it seemed to be really the case, and then he found the location of the Big Dipper in mid-air, but I don't know if it was because a fluorescent stone fell off, or the light emitted by the fluorescent stone disappeared, and the position of the six stars could only be vaguely seen in the Big Dipper, and the last star had disappeared.

Without disturbing Guo Huaxing's Yaxing, who was intoxicated by the fluorescent stone starry sky, Chen Ziyang came to Liu Cong's side again, he didn't understand why Liu Cong stared at the battlement that was tied with hemp rope for so long.

"Liu Cong, what are you thinking? Any questions? After so many years, the hemp rope has long since decayed, and it is not unusual to break it. ”

"Senior brother, this hemp rope confirms your previous suspicion, Zhang Taixu and Wang Dingqian's are indeed from here, but have you noticed that there is no rope tied to the battlements on the outside of the city wall."

After Liu Cong finished saying this, Chen Ziyang also thought about it. This rope was tied to the inside of the wall, but there was no rope on the outside of the wall, which meant that no one came out of the wall.

"Maybe there are other exits in the depths of the city, maybe the two people who entered from here at that time went out through another exit, after all, the scale of the city is very large, we can only see part of it, and a large part of the rest is hidden in the darkness."

"I know this too, but I just have a bad premonition, I hope I'm too careful."

Then Liu Cong didn't let everyone waste any more time, he organized people to go down to the bottom of the city wall one by one along the newly tied mountaineering nylon rope.

Because of the previous loss of three team members, this time Liu Cong's men were extra vigilant. Zhen Hao led several team members with guns in their hands and had been carefully searching the bottom of the city wall, for fear that there would be some mechanism hidden.

After walking through the streets of the city for some distance, the silhouette of the tall building in the distance looked clearer, but it was still not clear. Chen Ziyang felt that the building looked a little like a pyramid hidden in the night.

Because the building in the distance was too conspicuous, Liu Cong naturally set it as the first target for the team to explore, but the distance of the building was a little farther, and after a day of tossing, the team couldn't catch up with it today, so they had to find another place to rest temporarily.

The most common thing in this mausoleum city is the houses, all kinds of houses are arranged neatly, and they are parked there for everyone to choose.

All the houses are made of stone bricks and then refined, and the wooden windows are meticulously made, but all the houses are doorless.

Probably because of the age, some very few houses have collapsed, and most of the wooden window frames of the remaining houses have fallen off, and only 12 out of 10 are relatively well preserved.

When looking for a suitable campsite, the group found a strange phenomenon, all the houses have long stone pits on the ground.

There are more pits in larger houses, fewer pits in smaller houses, and more than 20 pits can be found on the ground at one time in a building that looks like a wine shop.

According to Chen Ziyang's guess, it is likely that these stone pits were used for burial. It seems that Wu Zetian became a female emperor before his death, and he wants to continue to enjoy such treatment after his death. With such a big city and so many stone pits, I don't know how many people will be used to bury her.

After finding a moderately sized house, Liu Cong ordered some rubble from the surrounding ruins to block the windows and half of the doors to keep out the wind.

Then everyone looked for some loose wood around and set up a bonfire, after all, this place is too cold, if there is no open fire for heating, there is a high risk of problems, easy to freeze to death.

After a long day of tossing, all the people were a little tired, and the shock of this day to them could not be expressed in words, at this time in this gloomy environment to be able to roast a warm bonfire, all of them felt a wave of tiredness hit.

"Liu Cong, I have always had a question I want to ask you, why does Chen Benzhong like the Maoshan heirs so much? You one, Jin Huang, Fang Zheng, Guo Zhenren, Zhang Zhenren, and Jia Da, are all descendants of Maoshan, and it is not easy to bring you together.

And I can see that you usually have more contact, you should have worked under Chen Benzhong for a while, why do you Maoshan descendants work under him? ”

As Chen Ziyang's question came out, Liu Cong was obviously stunned for a moment, it seemed that he had never thought about this question, and after looking down for a while, Liu Cong said to Chen Ziyang:

"That's a question you really asked, I never thought about it. I was adopted by my godfather when I was a child, and later when I was seven years old, he sent me to Maoshan to start learning art.

Fang Zheng and Jin Huang are also like this, the two of them are also my godfather's godsons, but we are usually called brothers, and both of them were sent by their godfathers to learn art since they were children.

Guo Zhenren and Zhang Zhenren are different, the two of them are my godfather's old friends, and the three of them have been friends for twenty or thirty years, but they often do things together.

The only special thing is Jada, he is not my godfather's descendant, he has only joined in the last few years, and this time it is also because of the need for the seven divisions of Maoshan to gather, so my godfather specially invited him. ”

As soon as Liu Cong finished speaking, Chen Ziyang almost didn't plant a heel. Good guy, the little junior brother in front of him is a figure of his father's generation, which is already disturbing enough, but now it seems that even Jin Huang and Fang Zheng are also his father's generation, and this time he has two more goduncles out of thin air.

"I heard that your godfather has eight King Kongs, do you mean these few people? Could it be that these eight people are all descendants of Maoshan? ”

"Hey, what are the Eight King Kongs, that's all passed on by others. The five of us are all characters from the Eight Great King Kongs, and there are three other people, but none of these three people are descendants of Maoshan.

And they have very little contact with us, and we only know of three of them. They can be regarded as a secret army under my godfather, you know, after all, in our business, sometimes we need to hide our identities well, and it is better to not see the light or not see the light. ”

With the help of the warm bonfire, Chen Ziyang dispelled the laziness all over his body, and after chatting with Liu Cong for a while, he fell asleep in a daze.

Chen Ziyang, who was asleep, suddenly had a feeling of palpitations, and he suddenly woke up and found that something was wrong with the atmosphere around him.

The bonfire that was about to be extinguished emitted a faint glow in the darkness, and under the reflection of the light, he saw Liu Cong and Zhang Linfu blocking the door, looking out vigilantly. Zhen Hao led the two team members to stand behind the two people with guns in their hands, showing a solemn expression as if they were facing a great enemy.
