Volume 2 The Ancient City of Mojiang 0084 The Archaeological Team of the Western Expedition
"Very good! Even the famous magician has chosen to help us, and Xu Qingyun's death is not far off! The fourth brother turned around and said excitedly to the Xijiang guest, who shook hands with Bai Qianyu and Zheng Xiaofeng very satisfied, but at this time Bai Qianyu suddenly said: "But the question now is, how are we going to get out of this place, if we can't do this, all your plans will be reduced to empty talk." ”
Xijiangke and the others turned on the flashlight, and when they looked around, they found that this was originally a closed stone room, the size of a hotel room in total, and they didn't see an exit at all. Bai Qianyu said: "Don't look at it, I've been trapped here for a day and a night, I'm almost bored to death, I'm very happy that you can come to accompany me." ”
Cheng Ruxue looked at the stone slab above her head, about seven or eight meters high from the ground, she saw that Bai Qianyu's silver crossbow was still on her back, and asked very puzzled: "I have the impression that at this distance, you should be able to fly up directly, right?" ”
Bai Qianyu said: "Indeed, I have also tried, but the slate is one-way, and if you want to get out of there unless you blow up the slate, but I estimate that we will be stoned to death first." ”
Zheng Xiaofeng asked Dong Quede: "Isn't there a spell of the imperial object in any of your doors, how have you learned, can you remove the slate?" ”
Dong Que laughed miserably and said: "Learn Mao, you really look up to me, but it's a pity that the books are in the car, if I start reading now, maybe I can do it in a year." ”
The Xijiang guest "tsk" and said: "I don't believe it, there are so many of us, can we all be trapped here?" If you look at this stone chamber, it is obviously artificially excavated, and since there is no sharp knife or spike on the ground, it means that this is not a trap laid for outsiders at all, and according to my experience, there are traps or secret doors in it. ”
Everyone pondered for a while, and they all felt that the words of the Western Xinjiang guest were reasonable, but Bai Qianyu said: "Impossible, I've been here for so long, if there is a mechanism, I would have found out a long time ago, and I would wait until you came?" ”
However, at this time, I saw Jiawei walking to the side alone at some point, knocking on the stone wall, and there was a sudden "click" sound inside the stone wall. I saw a secret door slowly open on the stone wall, and a dark passage gradually emerged from behind.
"This is the Mojia technique, just hit the stone bricks according to the rules." Jiawei tilted his head and said, "This place is very close to the Silk Road, and it seems that the technology of the Central Plains has also been transmitted here." ”
"Ah, this ......" Bai Qianyu's face turned red, and Dong asked if he had to ask, "Brother, are you here this day...... Did you sleep? ”
Bai Qianyu hesitated for a while, suddenly waved his hand, and pretended to be calm and said: "Actually, I expected you to come, so I deliberately waited for you here, I pretended to say that there was no mechanism to test you, and by the way, I gave this little brother a chance to show himself." ”
The fourth brother laughed out loud when he heard this, and said while holding his stomach: "I have long heard that the only shortcoming of a magician is to crack the ancient tomb mechanism, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation!" Hahahahaha............ha
Xijiangke's face suddenly darkened, and he hurriedly glanced at the fourth brother, as if to tell him that Bai Qianyu should be treated with respect, it seems that the ranking of the sixteen thieves still shows the status of the rivers and lakes, but the fourth brother didn't seem to have much reaction after seeing it, and there was still a slight ruffian smile on the corner of his mouth.
Bai Qianyu couldn't say anything, so she could only stiffen up, and Cheng Ruxue hurriedly diverted the conversation when she saw this: "Let's hurry up and set off." ”
Bai Qianyu said "Okay", and the nine people rushed in, and just walked out not far away, the stone gate behind him suddenly closed, Bai Qianyu, Xijiang Ke and the fourth brother glanced at each other, and suddenly tacitly agreed.
Xijiang Ke said: "Everyone be careful, the passage here is so narrow and long, it is a typical hidden place for organs, no one should step on it, try the water first." ”
After hearing this, everyone took a few steps back, subconsciously moving away from the walls on both sides, Bai Qianyu removed the black sleeve on his clothes and twisted it, and then installed the conjured rope arrow on the sniper crossbow. As soon as the trigger was pulled, the arrows flew out, and the moment the arrows poked into the ground in the distance, dense rain of arrows flew out from both sides of the wall.
Everyone waited for a long time for the rain of arrows to stop, and for a while, in the passage, on the walls and on the ground, there were red arrows everywhere, if there were no these experts here, ordinary people would have been pierced into hedgehogs in an instant. Bai Qianyu took the lead, and the group began to walk inside, and just after walking out of a short distance, three corpses suddenly appeared on the ground, each of which had several feather arrows inserted in its body, and it seemed that they should all be people who were shot to death here.
"We're not the first people here." The Xijiang guest was surprised, and everyone stepped forward to take a look, and saw that the three people had turned into white bones, and they had obviously been dead for a long time. Bai Qianyu flipped through the collar of one of the deceased and found a line of words on it.
"The Western Expedition Archaeological Team...... These are actually members of the archaeological team. ”
Dong Que felt that it was wrong when he heard it, and asked: "Since there has already been an archaeological team here, it stands to reason that this place should have been made public and protected by the state a long time ago, why is it still a no-man's land today?" ”
This is indeed a problem, everyone was puzzled, Cheng Ruxue thought for a while and speculated: "Could it be that they encountered something wrong here, the whole team died, and the news here was not passed on at all." ”
Everyone nodded suddenly, this sounds like the only reasonable explanation, and sure enough, when it comes to turning their brains, it is Cheng Ruxue who turns the fastest. Bai Qianyu rummaged through the deceased's pocket again, and found a document inside, and when he opened it, he saw that there were only two lines of words written in it, and the beginning was: Beijing Municipal General Administration of Ancient Cultural Relics Scientific Examination. The name of the holder is: Zhang Li.
The fourth brother sighed and said, "It turned out to be a girl, but it's a pity, it can be seen that she must have been a very beautiful person when she was alive." ”
Bai Qianyu smiled and asked, "Isn't it, brother, can you still see that everyone is like this?" ”
"Of course, brother, I smell countless fragrances-" The fourth brother replied with a glaring eye, "Beauty is in the bones, not in the skin, and you don't understand women at a glance." ”
"Uh......" Bai Qianyu was speechless for a while, as if she was really told by the fourth brother, in the corner where no one noticed, Cheng Ruxue's expression had some subtle changes, and a thought hit her mind, but she soon suppressed this idea that seemed to be very unlikely.
The group continued to walk forward, turned two corners, and there was a fork in the road in front of them, one road to the left, one road to the right, everyone stopped to watch, Zhang Beifang asked: "Which way should we go?" ”
Dong Que reacted quickly at this moment, and immediately realized that this was a good opportunity to get rid of the Xijiang Ke and others, so he immediately proposed: "Why don't we divide our troops into two ways, and wait in place if we find the road that we find, and find the road that we don't find directly, isn't it time-saving?" ”
However, the Xijiang guest immediately said: "I don't agree, if there is danger in one of the roads, or if both roads are in danger, we can't take care of each other." ”
Cheng Ruxue thought to herself at this time, it's hard to say whether this Xijiang guest cares about danger or not, but one thing is certain, that is, he will definitely prevent the people here from stealing treasures, based on this alone, it is impossible for the Xijiang guest to agree to Dong Lacking's plan. The fourth brother also said: "I think what Xi Ye said is reasonable, safety is more important than time." ”
Dong Que bared his teeth, and he didn't plan to give up, so he continued: "But even if according to what you said, all of us are together, I don't think it's necessarily safe, and acting separately can at least avoid the possibility of a one-time annihilation." ”
The fourth brother smiled, patted Dong Quede's shoulder and said, "Then if you really don't accept it, let's raise your hand to vote, there are five of us, and the votes are at least half." ”
At this time, Dong Que was directly speechless, Zheng Xiaofeng and Bai Qianyu did not express their position, and Dong Quede's right to speak suddenly became much weaker. Xijiangke thought for a moment and said: "Then since this is the case, I will be in charge, everyone together, let's go to the left first." ”
Dong Que glanced at Cheng Ruxue and shrugged helplessly.
The nine of them had to walk to the left together, and after a while, it suddenly became clear to them, and a stone chamber similar to the one before appeared at the end of the road. When I entered, I saw a round platform in the center of the stone room, on which a corpse dressed in ancient driedness was sitting cross-legged. After Zhang Beifang saw it, he said: "Oh, old-timer, let's see if there is any treasure on my body." ”
Jiawei approached, looked at it and said: "You see, this person's clothes have a lot of round and triangular runes, it seems that it should be the ancient Pozi people, this kind of clothes should be exclusive to priests and other people, such a system is very common in the Western Regions, basically the same." ”
Dong Que hurriedly took out a pen and paper and wrote down Jiawei's words, while the rest of the people didn't react, obviously their attention was on whether there were any treasures here. At this time, Zhang Beibei turned around and shouted: "Leopard, come here, let's take this corpse down and see if there is anything below." ”
When Bai Qianyu, Xijiang Ke, and Fourth Brother heard this, they all hurriedly stopped them, and Bai Qianyu was about to say: "It's not proper, if it's not necessary, it's better not to mess around with the things here." However, the leopard was a very fast man, and before the three of them could utter his words, the two men had already removed the dried corpses.
"Your sister." The fourth brother scolded, and suddenly there was a "bone" behind him, and a stone gate sealed everyone's retreat.
"Damn, you two are actors, right?" Dong Que was stupid and asked, "I believe that you two have this kind of plot in the novel, some authors who are not good at writing always like to create a few foolish criticisms and forcibly cause trouble for the protagonist, but after all, you two are also characters with heads and faces, and you can make such low-level mistakes?!" ”
