Chapter 38: White Jade Bell (4)

Jiang Xian was silent.

The Mausoleum of the Qin Emperor, the first cemetery in China for thousands of years, hides too many secrets. As they went deeper and deeper, their assumptions were disproved again and again. Now he couldn't figure out what was in it.

Is there an underground super project...... Apart from the Mausoleum of the Qin Emperor, what can be called a super project?

"What do you want to do with all this?" After a long time, he looked at the sky light shining into the entrance of the cave, and suddenly smiled: "This is my last fight, if I don't succeed, I will become benevolent...... Whatever he is, go all the way through, and there will be an answer in the end! ”

………………………………

Time flies. At ten o'clock in the morning, twenty meters away from the entrance of the cave, four figures were already standing there.

"Are you ready?" Jiang Xian asked in a deep voice, and the other three nodded solemnly at the same time. Jiang Xian took a few deep breaths, flicked his fingers, and the delicate dice flew straight out, and fell to the ground with a thud.

At the same time, Ling Xiaozi held the dust whisk in his hand. Hong Siniang's eyes had narrowed slightly, and her body breathing was almost inaudible. The tall body barely rises and falls. Feet are not bad. Hands clenched tightly on dry tobacco pouches. And between the fingers of the eight-armed Arhats, several sharp weapons like wolf teeth have already stretched out.

Drip-yo-yo ...... Everything seemed to stop, and only the sound of the dice spinning on the ground could be heard. For tens of seconds, it landed with a "godle". Jiang Xian pressed the hilt of the sword behind his back and rushed out without hesitation.

Boom! The moment he rushed out, the dragon slashing sword came out against the wind, and a light like autumn water slashed through the air. However, when he stepped steadily, he found ......

Nothing.

Compared with the frightening steps ahead, this place seems to be a paradise.

At his feet, there is a road fifteen meters wide. It is carved from the original cave wall and paved with bluestone. There is a two-meter-high stone parapet on the edge. Thousands of years have passed, and these bluestone crevices have long been overgrown with tenacious weeds. I don't know how many times this bluestone road has been trampled on, and I can't even see the brick joints clearly. The outer guardrail has long been blurred by natural erosion. The vague carvings on it can be faintly seen. tells the vicissitudes of time.

The stone walls on both sides can be seen to be artificially carved, and they are very smooth. Thousands of years later, however, only messy plants remain. Even the lampholders placed on the walls are wrapped in plant roots.

There is no killing machine.

On the contrary, it gives people a sense of winding paths.

Jiang Xian did not put away his sword, but continued to look out. Beyond the guardrail, a tree root hangs down like a waterfall, like a natural screen for this passage. These roots have grown for an unknown number of years, densely packed and impermeable.

"What a dense tree root...... "He wrinkled slightly, as if something had crossed his mind. The Dragon Slaying Sword gently picked open the root screen and muttered, "With such dense roots in nature, I'm afraid there is only a banyan tree......

The moment the root screen opened, his pupils suddenly narrowed. Then the whole thing froze in place!

He finally ...... I know what was going through my head just now.

"Huh?" Just behind him, Ling Xiaozi blinked: "What's wrong?" Have you seen your ancestor come back to life? ”

Without answering, Jiang Xian just silently moved out of the way. Ling Xiaozi glanced at the other party suspiciously, and walked out. At the moment when he walked out of the hole, through the root screen provoked by Jiang Xian, his eyes suddenly opened up.

What appeared in front of him was a huge pothole.

I'm afraid it's a kilometer in size, and it's round. It's like a Hakka tulou. Rays of sunlight cast down from the roof of the cave. Patches of dappled color shine underneath. An underground river tens of meters wide flows slowly through it, sparkling, as if dotted with 10,000 gold threads. Clusters of bright flowers bloom in the water, swaying slightly in the sun, humble survival.

Where they are is not on the ground, but in mid-air. It is about twenty meters above the ground.

From left to right, there are nine openings on the left and right. Both are five meters tall and four meters wide. They are in the third hole on the left. In the center of the two openings is a platform covered with dust. The engraving has been blurred.

"Nature's work." Ling Xiaozi sighed with emotion, and then looked at Jiang Xian in amazement: "What are you surprised about?" Haven't you ever seen a similar scene? ”

"I've seen it." Jiang Xian sighed quietly, closed his eyes and said slowly, "Everyone, welcome to the nest pit. ”

Nest pits?

These three words made everyone stunned. Ling Xiaozi suddenly rushed to the guardrail, looked at the magnificent natural wonder below, turned around after a few seconds, and said in amazement: "This is a nest pit?" You go down to that?! ”

Jiang Xian opened his eyes and nodded. After the initial shock, an unexpected and reasonable feeling arose.

Oh, yes...... As it should be...... Big Banyan Village, isn't it only two kilometers away from the big banyan tree they came out of......

"You didn't even notice there was a circular passage here?"

Jiang Xian smiled bitterly: "At that time, I took a group of rookies and just cared about going out, besides, this place is like one of the floors of the tulou, there are shades up and down, built according to the cave wall, I was like looking up from the center of the tulou, and there are tree roots to block." How could it have been discovered? ”

Finally waited for Jiang Xian to verbally admit defeat, Ling Xiaozi suddenly felt refreshed, and raised his eyebrows: "How to go now?" ”

Jiang Xian did not answer, but walked to the middle and gently stroked the railing of the platform. These stone-carved buildings have been built for thousands of years, but they are still strong today. It's just that under the natural erosion, you can no longer see the meticulous craftsmanship of the year.

From here, you can look down on the whole nest pit.

He closed his eyes again, his fingers tapping lightly on the guardrail. This time, it took him ten minutes to open his eyes. Subsequently, a nail gun was taken out of the backpack. Followed by...... Aimed at the stone plank road hundreds of meters away.

Bang! With a muffled thud, a spike shot out. Before it could be shot, there was a bang, and a few spikes followed. Suddenly landed on the stone plank road!

At the moment of nailing, a tooth-aching sound was heard instantly. In the next second, it was visible to the naked eye that more than a dozen Qin-style halberds that were shining silver in the sunlight stabbed out violently, and the force was so fierce that the roots and waterfalls outside were raised one after another.

"I'll go ......" was behind him, and the corners of Hong Siniang's eyes cramped slightly. Ling Xiaozi looked at Jiang Xian like a ghost: "Why are you ......?"

"Because I'm going to think differently." Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Jiang Xian looked at the front and said in a deep voice: "What if this is a warehouse?" What if this is a tomb? ”

"I came up with two answers, first, if it is a warehouse, with the system of the Qin Dynasty, what huge underground project to be built is never allowed to leak secrets." He looked to the left and said, "Such a big warehouse...... It is likely that we have not finished exploring, and the underground palace we saw on the Great Wall before was not only one floor, but at least five or six floors. How much can it hold? ”

"How many people do you need to carry these supplies?"

The idea went on smoothly: "There are so many people, how can you ensure that they don't mutiny?" I think if I were a builder, I would definitely leave the trap. Mutiny is prevented. ”

He pointed to the halberd, which had not yet been retracted: "These things are the back hands of the rulers of the time. In the event of any mishap, the trap will immediately pierce everyone in the tunnel! How many people are not enough to die. ”

"The mechanism is hidden behind the cracks in the stones......" His finger pointed around the entire cave from left to right: "Whenever you step on the plank path, behind the stone is the halberd." The only safe place is here. ”

He didn't say what would happen if it was a burial tomb. The answer is so simple - if it's a tomb, there will be a mechanism as well, because it's the way to the outside world! The Emperor's Tomb will not let anyone in the know run out!

"It's a safe ...... here" Hong Siniang looked at the ground, then looked ahead, and her mind suddenly lit up: "The perspective here is unique...... You mean, this is where the regulators used to be. Naturally, there will be no mechanism? ”

Jiang Xian nodded. Then he frowned and said, "The trouble now is, how are we going to get over?" ”

"Maybe walking normally won't trigger?" Ling Xiaozi muttered, "There were several apes and cranes last night, and they didn't trigger ......"

"They're probably crawling up from here." Hong Siniang said: "And the nail gun just now is enough to trigger ...... This indicates that its trigger mechanism is very slight. If you are not careful, you will be pierced through the heart, and in this unique terrain, it is almost impossible to avoid it. I can only say that I am 20% sure. ”

Just as the words fell, Jiang Xian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked around. He said in a deep voice: "Well said. The ape crane may have crawled from here, but ...... What about the exploration team of the Void Faction? ”

Did they fly over?

This organ is very simple, but the difficulty lies in the geographical location. How did the other party come over?

Ling Xiaozi raised his eyebrows: "The ape crane can climb, but it can't climb the void?" ”

There is a deep meaning that the monk can touch, and I can't touch it......

"No!" Before he finished speaking, Hong Siniang also reacted. raised his eyebrows and said: "Mr. Jiang told us that this river is ...... There are mutated lampreys. ”

"Even he didn't tell the first time. Although the Chongxu faction is famous, in terms of individual strength, I believe that Mr. Jiang should be the first. What he can't see, others probably won't be able to see either. ”

Ling Xiaozi suddenly realized, his eyes immediately looked at the river, and muttered, "There are more than a dozen corpses left by the exploration team of the Chongxu Sect in the rear hall. Their ranks were not small, and if they were to walk from below, from the opposite side, they would have passed through the river. It is very likely that they will lose their troops in the river. But ......"

However, there is no trace of this river at all!

No corpses, no clothes, no backpacks!

They didn't crawl over.

Ling Xiaozi's eyes became brighter and brighter: "The weight of the backpack cannot be washed away by the river, and in the case of lampreys in the river, it is even more impossible to go down to the river to salvage the corpse." That is to say......"

There is only one answer - 99% of them probably did not go down the river.

Over here...... There's another way!
