In an underground karst cave 80 kilometers south of Feng'an Village, Xinping Township, AY City, HN Province.

There were glow sticks burning on the ground, and Xue Ergou and Liu Chenhan were sitting on the altar, eating dry food back to back.

"The whole ruins have been rummaged, and there is no clue at all. Xue Ergou said, smashing the water bottle in his hand on the ground.

"Boom. The water bottle smashed on the ground and made an empty sound, and Xue Ergou heard it, something was wrong. hurriedly finished eating dry food in three or two bites, and beckoned Liu Chenhan to investigate the floor tiles of the altar together.

"Knock knock knock...... the two knocked each floor tile on the altar one by one, and then took out the sapper shovel they carried and shoveled down the gap in the floor tiles little by little.

In a short time, several piles of altar tiles were piled up around the two of them. Xue Ergou stood on the altar, looking at the black hole exposed by the uncovered floor tiles.

"Here. "The glow stick illuminates the black hole under the floor tiles, revealing a section of steps that go downward.

"Let's go down. Xue Ergou said to Liu Chenhan.

Liu Chenhan: "Hmm. ”

"Click. The two turned on their searchlights, checked their guns, and made sure there were no problems before heading up the steps.

It's a downward graveyard, a staircase that seems endless. Xue Ergou and the two walked, and the cautious Liu Chenhan glanced back, shocked! It turned out that the entrance where they came down was gone. Even the calmest person will panic in the face of this kind of thing.

"Sir, the entrance to our descent is gone. Liu Chenhan could no longer stay calm.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll figure it out. Xue Ergou saw him panic and comforted her.

Turning around and seeing that the entrance had disappeared, Xue Ergou lowered his head and pondered: Just now, the two of us walked on the stairs of this tomb road for a long time, and we have been walking down, and there is nothing unusual around us.

"Chenchen, we're friends, you should be fine if I call it that. Xue Ergou held Liu Chenhan's shoulders with both hands and looked at her seriously.

"Hmm. Liu Chenhan nodded a little scared.

"Call me Lao Xue when no one is in the future, listen, I will continue to walk down the steps in a while, I will put a glow stick every 3 meters along the road, you are here to see how far I can go, before disappearing from your sight. When you can't see me, you cry out to me. Xue Ergou looked at Liu Chenhan gently.

"Good. Liu Chenhan nodded solemnly.

"Okay, then I'm leaving, you have to see clearly, don't get distracted. Xue Ergou said and turned around and walked down.

The surroundings were as dark as ink, and the light of the searchlight above his head was about 3 meters in front of him, and he was no longer able to expand outward.

Xue Ergou would put a glow stick under his feet every 3 meters, and as he walked, he suddenly heard Liu Chenhan's shout and stopped.

Xue Ergou squatted down on the spot, and found that there were two circle-like markers on both sides of the steps, and the walls on both sides were coated with special paint, and the light shone on it without reflection, and the surrounding walls were not seen, only to see that it was black.

Liu Chenhan found that Xue Ergou had walked twenty-three steps, and no matter how many glow sticks he put after that, he couldn't see it.

"Chenchen, have you found anything on this part of my downward journey. Xue Ergou walked up to Liu Chenhan and asked.

"I found you, your shadow is gone. Liu Chenhan carefully recalled the experience of Xue Ergou going all the way just now.

"Shadow?" Xue Ergou looked down at the ground and found that his shadow was indeed gone, and Liu Chenhan's shadow was also gone, what was going on?

"Well, let's mark the road and take a look again. Xue Ergou thought about it.

Liu Chenhan: "Okay"

The two of them marked along the way and walked down again. Make a mark every 3 meters and make a note of how many marks you have made.

"I didn't expect to go back to the original location where I found that the entrance was missing, and this is why 7 marks were made. What's the problem? Xue Ergou sat on the steps.

"No, there's something wrong with this staircase. Xue Ergou sat on the steps, and suddenly found that the steps were too wide, and when he looked closely, he found that the steps were slightly curved.

"Is there any problem?" Liu Chenhan asked Xue Ergou suspiciously.

"There is a problem, the wisdom of the ancients is really not to be underestimated, in this dark environment, through the clever use of shadows and special signs to lead people to the fork in the road without noticing, plus the slope is very small, and the stone steps are large, as long as the length is long enough, it will cause the feeling of going uphill and downhill is not clear. Xue Ergou sat on the ground and said.

"So our eyes have been deceived?" Liu Chenhan asked after a moment's thought.

Xue Ergou: "It can be understood that this time we can only walk out with our eyes closed." ”

Liu Chenhan: "Okay, then let's try it." ”

"Hmm. Xue Ergou took Liu Chenhan's hand, and the two of them walked down step by step, walking twenty-three steps and feeling some light outside through their eyelids.

When the two of them opened their eyes, they found that they had unconsciously walked into the ancient tomb under the ruins of the royal city.

It was a large hall, with two ear chambers on the left and right, and a bronze door was cast opposite the two of them, and behind them was the staircase that came down, and this time the staircase did not disappear.

There is a bronze oil lamp cast on the wall around the main hall, and the oil in the lamp has not burned out for thousands of years. Behind him, there are two bronze guards cast on the entrance staircase, and their clothing and accessories seem to be costumes from the late Han Dynasty.

In the center of the main hall is a bronze giant statue with three legs and two ears, and it is gray and you can't see how majestic the original appearance is.

"Didi...... There is a strong ...... Bigger...... The field is out of the ...... Now my ...... Within the measurement range, interference is being made...... I. The knight who hadn't appeared for a long time suddenly spoke, and Xue Ergou saw that Liu Chenhan's face changed slightly, presumably she was the same.

The two of them were just about to make a move, but there was a strange movement from the bronze giant tripod, as if there were some demons and monsters suppressed in the tripod, and they wanted to break the seal.

"Ah......h

"Don't be afraid, the things in the ding will not be able to come out for a while. Liu Chenhan was a little panicked when he saw the vision for the first time, but Xue Ergou's face was as usual.

Liu Chenhan: "Hmm. ”

"Let's go to both ear chambers and see if there are any clues. Xue Ergou said and walked towards the ear chamber on the left with Liu Chenhan.

When I walked into the ear chamber, I saw that the ear chamber was huge. There were no funerary goods inside, only endless bones, mostly boys and girls between the ages of seven and fifteen.

"It seems that these boys and girls were used for the burial of the owner of the tomb. Xue Ergou analyzed expressionlessly.

Liu Chenhan is much calmer this time, and anyone who sees too much will get used to it.

The two of them then walked towards the ear chamber on the right, passing by the bronze dome in the center of the main hall. I saw that the bronze giant tripod that the two of them had left and quieted down, and after the two approached, the bronze giant tripod vibrated again.

The two of them didn't see it, and walked into the ear chamber on the right. There was also an offering table on one side of the ear chamber, on which were three boxes, and an incense burner in front of three boxes.

Xue Ergou wore rubber gloves, picked up a golden sword from the ground casually, and opened the three boxes one by one, only to see a boxy jade stone in the small box, and two long swords in the other two.

After confirming that no one had tricked into the box, Xue Ergou picked up the jade in the small box in the middle, and at a glance, he found that this was actually a jade seal that could only be used by emperors.

A lifelike dragon is carved on the jade seal, and there are eight words engraved under the jade seal of the four directions: Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity.

Xue Ergou asked Liu Chenhan to put away the jade seal and put it in his backpack. He went to take out the two long swords in two long boxes.

"Qiang ......" Xue Ergou pulled out the long sword, only to see that the long sword has not been corroded by rust for thousands of years, and the sword body is still dazzling, and there are two small seals engraved on the sword body: one 'Yitian' and one 'Qingyu'.
