Chapter 111: Approaching the Underground Palace
"Brother Yang, I think we have entered the ring road on the eighth floor, and we are about to enter the core part of the Nine Sons Concentric Tomb - the underground palace. Suddenly, she looked ahead with wide eyes.
"I feel that our journey is too smooth and too calm. Yang Hao also observed the surrounding roads.
Is the second "lost key" just around the corner?
"The Underground Palace?Core?" Yang Hao was stunned, and his thinking almost came to a standstill. He and Fu Ying didn't know how long they had been turning in this layer after layer of the ring road, and they had already turned dizzy and couldn't distinguish between the southeast and the northwest. Now when he heard Fu Ying say that he was about to reach the core, he seemed to have just woken up from the confusion.
From the second ring road, there are no longer skull walls made of dead people's skeletons, but burial tunnels made of blue bricks. There are no other mechanisms or monsters in the tomb, and it is still composed of the overlap of the ecliptic and **, ** is the way of death, and the zodiac is the way of life.
With her intelligence and intelligence, Fu Ying carefully found all the ways out, and then took Yang Hao to this eighth-layer ring road.
But after looking for the eighth-story ring road, she didn't meet her father Fu Tiansheng. I didn't meet any of the other grave robbers, not even Charlie's group. As for the evil people who bit Yang Hao's tail tightly at the beginning and tried to harm them again and again, they didn't show up.
But Yang Hao understands that they must be here!
Yang Hao also understood one thing, those who dared to break into the Nine Sons Serial Concentric Tomb must not be ordinary people! As the so-called shrimp has a shrimp road, and a crab has a crab road, they must also have a way to find here!
Yang Hao looked at Fu Ying and said, "Nine Sons Serial Concentric Tomb, then there should be nine ring roads, why did we only break through eight and then arrived at the underground palace?"
"The ninth ring road is directly connected to the underground palace, and there is no longer a prohibition. Therefore, entering the ninth ring road is the same as entering the underground palace. All we have to do now is find the gateway to the ninth loop. However, this portal seems to be quite difficult to find, and I am afraid it will take a lot of effort. Fu Ying replied.
"We've gone through a lot of hardships to get here, how can we give up because the portal is hard to find?" Yang Hao said.
"Brother Yang is right-hey, look ahead. Fu Ying suddenly pointed forward.
Yang Hao looked forward, but he didn't see anything else except the dark tomb passage and the blue bricks reflecting the cold light of Sensen.
"Over there, where two ghost fires are floating. Fu Ying said.
The ghost fire has always been an embellishment in the tomb, and it can be touched wherever he goes, so Yang Hao has long turned a blind eye to these things. Hearing Fu Ying say this, he hurriedly looked at the two ghost fires carefully-only to see that under the dim green light of the ghost fires, there seemed to be a stone gate in front of him.
"Shimen!This should be the real portal!" Yang Hao's heart became excited, and he strode forward.
"Brother Yang, come back soon!" Fu Ying hurriedly grabbed Yang Hao, and stepped forward to observe carefully.
After observing for a while, she suddenly raised the crossbow gun in her hand, aimed at a certain place and pulled the trigger: "Plop puff puff ......"
She fired seven or eight shots on one side, and fired seven or eight crossbow arrows.
Suddenly, there was a dull sound in the darkness: "Quack, quack, quack......
Yang Hao was making a flute, but the stone door slowly opened a gap more than a foot wide, just enough for one person to pass through. There seemed to be a bright light coming out of the crack in the door, black, red, black, red, and weird.
"Why did the door open?" Yang Hao was speechless in surprise.
"There is a seven-star alignment mechanism on this door, which secretly matches the direction of the Beidou, and the front and rear positions are orderly. The mechanism was the pineapple-shaped nail head on the door, the size of a little finger, hidden in the dark, and covered in dirt that was too difficult to identify. In order to open the mechanism to open the door, you must press all the nail heads into the door, if you get it wrong, not only will you not be able to open the stone door, but you may also attract a hidden weapon. So I don't want Brother Yang to come forward, that's the reason. ”
Yang Hao nodded: "It's still Yingying's heart, otherwise I can't see any mystery in this door." Can you go in now?"
Fu Ying said: "Don't be busy - explore the way first." She said as she pulled out something the size of a duck's egg, which looked like a grenade. She lifted the lid, pulled the fuse, and threw the grenade through the crack in the stone door.
Yang Hao covered his ears in surprise: "Yingying, what are you doing here? Is this a grenade? Will this explosion destroy the cultural relics inside?"
Fu Ying shook her head and said, "This is not a grenade, just a vibrating device, if there is a hidden weapon mechanism in the door, the oscillator can trigger them." ”
"Oscillator?" Yang Hao looked into the door suspiciously. I heard some kind of movement coming from inside the door, like the impact of something heavy falling on the ground. This sound wave even spread from the door to Yang Hao's feet, and Yang Hao felt the ground tremble. Then I heard a whistling sound like rain inside, like countless bees flapping their wings in unison.
But Yang Hao understood that it was definitely not a bee, but probably the sound of breaking the sky from the triggered secret weapon.
The sound lasted for more than half a minute before stopping.
Fu Ying listened sideways, and said to Yang Hao: "Brother Yang, you can go in now, I'll go in first, and you follow me." ”
"Yingying, let me go ahead. Yang Hao knew that Fu Ying was well-intentioned, but his manly self-esteem still made him want to fight.
"No, Brother Yang, I'll go ahead. After Fu Ying finished speaking, she had already walked in through that gap.
Yang Hao also hurriedly followed.
After entering the stone gate, I found that there was a tomb made of blue bricks inside. The tomb is about three meters high and two meters wide, and each brick is more than a foot thick. There is a stone lampstand every five meters on both sides of the tomb, and the pattern of the lampstand is cloud-like, like a certain cloud pattern in ancient China.
Could it be that this tomb is actually Chinese, and if so, what dynasty?
Yang Hao thought about it while continuing to look at the lampstand. I saw that there was a stone sculpture in the shape of a tomb beast squatting on each lampstand, like some kind of turtle, with a black, red and black flame burning on the back of the turtle, the flame was not very bright, but it could also illuminate an area within a radius of several meters.
Is this an everlasting lamp? If so, what is the fuel used for the lamp? But it smells bad.
Yang Hao was worried that the incense was poisonous, so he held his breath at first. But when he saw Fu Ying's calm expression, he knew that it was okay, so he relaxed a little and breathed boldly.
His gaze was cast from the wall to the ground. I saw that the ground was full of a small iron tip more than three inches long and the thickness of chopsticks, like clusters on arrows, and it was estimated that these things were the kind of hidden weapons that made a whistling sound of "scratching and scratching" that Yang Hao heard outside the door just now. I don't know if this thing is poisonous, but even if it is not poisonous, so many things are shot on a person's body, and there is no reason for this person to survive!
Yang Hao also understood one thing, although such a mechanism was powerful, after it was cracked, it actually lost any effect, at most it could kill the first tomb robber, but it could not prevent the latecomers from entering. The builders of the mausoleum had worked so hard that it was impossible to lay out such a mechanism. Therefore, Yang Hao was moving forward as cautiously as possible, and at the same time, he was also very nervous to look at Fu Ying's figure.
Because if there is any accident, Fu Ying will definitely bear the brunt. However, Fu Ying is walking very firmly now, it seems that she is confident, and there will be no more trouble on this road.
"Brother Yang, just follow me and try not to touch anything on the cave walls on both sides. ”
"Well, I understand. Is there going to be the entrance to the dungeon?Will there be other complicated mechanisms?" Yang Hao asked while agreeing to Fu Ying's request.
"Brother Yang can rest assured, there must be very few people who can enter this kind of place, because ordinary tomb robbers can't even get out of the outermost ring road maze, let alone this core place? ”
Yang Hao put a little snack, and at the same time had another doubt, because there were no superficial organs, which meant that there would be more advanced ones. The power of this mechanism must be even greater!
Fu Ying saw Yang Hao's worries, and hurriedly comforted: "Brother Yang, don't worry, those mechanisms are not something that can be activated casually, as long as we pay more attention, we won't trigger the mechanisms." ”
At this time, the tomb seemed to have come to an end, and a hall appeared in front of it, and there was a stone gate in each of the four directions of the hall, and it seemed that one of these four stone doors led to the underground palace. But which one exactly?
Somewhere on the outer ring road, Yang Liu had already understood the pattern made of skeletons, and said to Tang Jun: "I have understood this pattern, this is the mark left by my brother, as long as we follow this mark, we can get out of this ring road maze." ”
Tang Jun was overjoyed and said: "I can't imagine that it was the mark left by Kesi, could it be that he has an affair again?"
"What??" Long Yunpeng and Zhu Fenglian's eyes widened.
"Is Koji having an affair? Who is it? hehe. Gao Weizhen was amused.
Yang Liu also looked at Tang Jun inexplicably and said, "Brother Tang, you said my brother had an affair?"
As soon as Tang Jun saw everyone's surprised expressions, he knew that he had said the wrong thing, and he couldn't help but be embarrassed at the moment, his face was also red, and he stammered: "No, no, no, I'm not talking about an affair, it's an adventure." ”
Long Yunpeng said with a smile: "If you meet a man, it is an adventure, and if you meet a woman, it may be an affair." ”
"You all stop talking nonsense, let's hurry up. ”
I don't know how long it took to turn east and west, Tang Jun and the others finally walked to the eighth ring road according to the mark left by Yang Hao, and saw the stone gate that Yang Hao and the others entered.
Zhu Fenglian said happily: "It looks like we've finally got out of that damn ghost wall-beating maze, but Kesi may be in front!"
"Well, that's right!" Tang Jun also showed joy.
But just then, he suddenly heard something behind him. So he subconsciously turned around and looked back......
