Chapter 536: Black Slate
Chen Ziyang's words before going to bed untied the knot in many people's hearts, and the team assembled early the next day, ready to march towards the palace at the mountain wall.
The team was still not moving fast, as they had increased the search area, and they were not just heading directly towards the palace.
Where Yin Spirits can be bred, there must be Yin Objects with extremely heavy Yin Qi, and when this kind of thing is placed here, it is like a huge time bomb, and it will detonate at some point, and it will cause heavy damage to the team.
What's more, according to the estimation of Zhang Linfu and others, there is likely to be more than one yin object like this, and the yin spirit bred may not only be the one recovered before, so it is very necessary to be extra careful.
The buildings before the palace were very large, and in addition to the higher floors and wider area, there were many courtyards around these buildings, which can be said to be gardens. Each garden is also at least a three-way courtyard, and some are larger.
In these gardens, there are ponds, rockeries, pavilions, pavilions, and pavilions, all of which are meticulously built. The more people looked at it, the more surprised they became, and they admired the handwriting of the Tang Dynasty.
Each of these gardens is now a miracle in the history of architecture, not to mention that there are countless gardens like this here, and I don't know how many there are.
Considering the lack of personnel and the fact that these gardens cover a large area, the team only searched the buildings on both sides of the street as they advanced, and there was no energy to look further afield.
After searching for a long time, I didn't find any useful clues in these gardens, and I didn't find a single yin thing, so it seems that what everyone is worried about should be hidden in the palace.
In this way, the team searched and advanced, and soon came to the front of the palace. Far away, Zhen Hao, who was walking at the front of the team, saw that strange phenomenon.
The whole palace was a little higher than the buildings of the Mausoleum City, and there was a large staircase that extended from the end of the Mausoleum City, directly in front of the palace gates, and at the top of these steps, it looked as if there was a large pool of black water.
This discovery made everyone's eyes jump, since entering this large exaggerated underground imperial tomb city, except for stone and wood, everyone has basically never seen anything else, and now there is such a large puddle of water for no reason, which is really a little surprising.
And the most unbelievable thing is that the location of this puddle of water is actually above the steps in front of the palace, and this structure has not been figured out by everyone, could it be that this large staircase is like the edge of a cistern.
After slowly walking up the stairs to the top, the crowd realized that they had made a big joke because of the optical illusion, and that what looked like water from a distance was not water at all, but black stone slabs.
Each slab is a meter square, and square slabs are joined together to form a black plaza in front of the palace gates.
The outer walls of the palace that everyone saw before were actually all reliefs carved directly on the rock wall, all carved out of the stone wall in front of them, but the huge palace gate in front of everyone seemed to be able to open, and gusts of cold wind kept blowing out of the cracks in the door.
In front of the palace gate, there is a part of the protruding mountain, which is very large, and it is all covered with this black stone slab, and the steps are also built around this part of the mountain. The stone-paved plaza was much wider than the gates of the palace, and it seemed that one had to step over them to reach the gates of the palace.
This large piece of palace relief is also endless, and the scale is very grand, which makes people feel shocked. And the most surprising thing is the material of these black slates, these black slate are polished to a shiny shine, looking like black mirrors, all the black slate are connected together, like a pitch black pool.
The green light emitted by the fluorescent stones in the sky is reflected on these smooth black stone slabs, like pebbles in a waterhole, and it looks extraordinarily beautiful, as if the entire starry sky is reflected in the waterhole.
The people in the line instinctively thought that these black stone slabs were unusual, so no one dared to step forward, and 21 people stood in a row on the highest step around these black stone slabs.
At this time, Chen Ziyang noticed a strange phenomenon, compared with the thick dust on the steps, these stone slabs can be said to be a little scary, the stone slabs are spotless, not even a grain of dust can be found, and the last step under everyone's feet is covered with a thick layer of dust.
After grabbing a handful of dust from the steps under his feet, Chen Ziyang glanced at the rest of the team, and after getting the consent of Zhang Linfu and Liu Cong, he carefully scattered the sand in his hand on a black stone slab in front of his feet.
The sand slipped from between his fingers and landed on the surface of the slate, and Chen Ziyang, who squat down to take a closer look, found that the dust sprinkled on the slate was slowly moving in his direction.
Then he figured out that the whole square, paved with black stone slabs, was not horizontal, but had a relatively small angle, slightly higher on the side near the palace and a slightly lower on the side near the steps, an angle so small that it was imperceptible to the naked eye.
Because the slabs were unusually smooth, the sand slid down the surface of the slabs.
"me, is this a slate? It's even smoother and smoother than a mirror, and you can see the reflection on it, and if you put such a stone slab in the hall, you can see at a glance what color the panties of the woman in the skirt walking on it are. Seeing these stone slabs so magical, Yang Lei said in surprise.
"You can associate women's underwear from this slate, for someone else, there is no such broad thinking at all, haven't you always said that you are studying geology, have you ever seen this kind of stone?" After sarcastically mocking Yang Lei for a few words, Chen Ziyang turned the problem to the right path.
"I'm not blowing this point, this kind of stone may be very amazing in your eyes, but in the eyes of a professional like me, it is also confused, I have never seen it at all, I have never even heard of it." Yang Lei nodded affirmatively and said.
Yang Lei's words almost made other people vomit blood, I don't know, I don't know, what kind of professional is pretending.
The rest of the group each pulled out their tools and carefully poked around the stone slab in front of them. But neither a sapper shovel nor a sharp military dagger could leave a single scratch on these stone slabs.
After tentatively touching the stone slab in front of him and finding that there was no mechanism that had been touched, Liu Cong asked Mo Wen to be the first to step on the stone slab.
Probably because of the scene where the corner of his clothes pulled the stone pillar before entering the underground mausoleum city, Mo Wen took the first step to be extra careful, and he tapped his toes on the stone slab several times before stepping on this foot.
When Mo Wen wanted to take the second leg alternately, suddenly a piercing sound came from the surface of the stone slab. Because of leaning forward, the sole of Mo Wen's foot on the slate rubbed against the surface of the slate, and the slate was too smooth, so he slipped directly off the slate.
Like the dust that had been sprinkled on the slate before, Mo Wen's foot on the slate slid down rapidly, and at the same time, his whole body leaned forward, and after a bang, he fell the slate, and then his whole body also slid down the slate, rolling all the way to the top of the steps.
"Oops......" Mo Wen screamed miserably, and his forehead instantly bulged a big bag, and the center of the big bag faintly showed a cyan, obviously falling very hard, but fortunately, his physique was relatively strong, if it was someone else, maybe he would faint this time.
Seeing Mo Wen fall, the others were all vigilantly looking around, for fear that this time would touch something, but apart from the big bag on Mo Wen's head, nothing else happened at all.
Chen Ziyang figured out that there was no need for any other mechanism here, and these stone slabs were natural anti-theft methods, and they were the best mechanisms. Don't look at the location of the palace dozens of meters away, but it is these dozens of meters of black stone bricks, and it is not easy to climb over.
After the tension, there were a few muffled laughter from the crowd, obviously it was the tragic situation of Mo Wen's fall that made them unable to hold back their laughter.
"You don't have to laugh at me, you can try it yourself." Mo Wen rubbed his swollen forehead and said unwillingly.
"Try it, try it, will it be worse than you." Zhen Hao, who usually doesn't smile, was the first to stand up at this time, and the loudest laugh he let out just now was the loudest. It seems that this kid's humor looks different from others, and his laughter is different.
After stretching out his right leg with a big stride, Zhen Hao leaned his entire body forward, all pressed against this leg, in order to increase the friction between the sole of his shoe and the slate. When he tried to shake his body a few times, he felt that it was almost there, and then stepped out of his left leg again.
But when his left leg was just raised, the right foot that independently supported his body also made a piercing sound, and then Zhenhao's right leg quickly slid down, and the body that lacked support fell down.
Because Zhen Hao pressed his body too low before, the knee of his right leg hit the black stone slab directly, and then his body pressed heavily on his right leg, and his knee hurt a lot at once.
Zhen Hao, who was holding back the pain, was so red that he didn't let out a scream, and when he covered his right knee and rolled down to the steps, he looked at Mo Wen with a swollen red face, and raised his chin, what does that mean, I fell lighter than you.
"Puff ......" Originally, Yang Lei didn't think Mo Wen's fall was ridiculous, but when he saw Zhen Hao's expression after he fell, he couldn't hold it back anymore and laughed.
"Look at me." I don't know which player shouted these words, and then the team member quickly took a big stride and jumped out directly, very fast. Seeing what he meant, he wanted to use his speed and exaggerated stride to leap across the stone slab as fast as a dragonfly.
However, when the toes of the team member touched the stone slab, and he took the second step out of thin air, the toes of the toes on the stone slab still slipped backwards, and the team member's body fell rapidly.
After feeling bad, the team member wanted to retract his feet, but it was already a little late, and the team member came directly on the stone brick with a standard one-line horse. Then with a scream, he covered the inside of his big crotch and quickly slipped off the stone slab.
Seeing the tragic situation of this team member, Yang Lei subconsciously covered his inner thighs, "I'm obedient, it hurts to look at it, if this is me, these two big crotches will be directly wasted." ”
Now everyone has determined that there are no other mechanisms connected to these black stone slabs, so everyone is relieved and uses their own means to cross the black stone slabs that are tens of meters long.
Some of them wanted to use something like a dagger to stick it in the gap between the slabs, but the slate was very tight, and there seemed to be some stuffing in it, so that the solution they came up with came to naught.
There are also people who want to use ropes and the like to put them directly on the opposite mountain wall and use ropes to borrow power, but it may be that the people who built this place have already taken this into account, and there is nothing on the opposite mountain wall that can be lassoed ropes at all.
A few of the other team members were going to descend to the bottom of the stairs and go around to the side of the black stone square, from where they would climb the stone walls and move laterally so that they could go directly to the palace gate and avoid the stone slabs.
But when the attentive Chen Ziyang pointed out some holes hidden in the stone wall, these team members all gave up such ideas. It seems that there should be some traps on both sides of the palace gate on this mountain wall that are the same as those on the previous city wall, and if you accidentally press them, you will definitely end up with the same fate as the two team members who died under the snake nail before.
Watching these people fall on the black stone slabs one by one, and slide back to the top of the steps one by one, Chen Ziyang really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The black stone bricks of just a few dozen meters are like clowns in the battlefield, providing everyone with some entertainment atmosphere at this tense time.
After a long period of work, almost all the people who went up to try it had fallen more than once, and even a few of them had fallen with bruised noses and swollen faces, and bruises all over their bodies, but no one could find a way to step over these black stone slabs.
At this time, the people in the team no longer thought it was funny, but were a little worried. After walking such a long way and leaving five lives, would it be possible to stop at these black stone slabs dozens of meters wide?
At this time, Yang Lei, who had been snickering beside him, seemed to have seen enough of the farce, he stood up, patted the dust on his buttocks, and then raised his head and shouted loudly: "At this time, it depends on your brother Lei, I have a way." ”
