Chen Yina looked around and said in surprise: "Are you sure there are any secrets to hide in this place?" ”

"Maybe we're lucky, the chosen one." I smiled, got up, and took a hard look at the terrain.

"The Chosen One?" Chen Yina was puzzled, "I also want to say that we are both unlucky, our clothes are wet, and we are still trapped in this place, and we don't know how to get out?" ”

"What's the hurry?" While checking the terrain, I joked with Chen Yina, "What do you think, why did this Zhao Ji hide her guilt so well?" Psychologically speaking, she doesn't actually want to make it public, but she wants a way to tell such a secret hidden in her heart, in order to atone for her sins and obtain a kind of psychological repentance, just like people who are panicked always like to overeat, which is a sick psychology. ”

"But it can also reflect what is really going on in a person's heart." Chen Yina continued my words.

"Well, that's what it means."

Chen Yina continued, "Then you mean that Zhao Ji actually wants to tell the secret, but because she is the Queen Mother, she has to cover up her crimes, and she can only express it in this way. ”

"Yes, that's the window of the psyche."

"So what?"

"Therefore, this window of Zhao Ji must be kept strictly secret, but step by step."

"What do you mean?"

"To put it simply, she wants to find someone to talk to, tell her inner secrets, but such a window is by no means easy to open, nor is it just a casual person to find the end of the matter, thousands of years after her death, who will be in the future to witness her repentance, who do you say, she doesn't know, her lover Chang Yu doesn't know, so the only way she can do is to set a test, and the person who passes the test can get her approval."

Chen Yina nodded, as if she understood what I meant, and said with a half-guess: "So, in fact, the entire tomb is where she is testing us?" ”

"Not only the entire tomb, but even the Lishan Doubtful Tomb, the Tomb of the Marquis of Changxin, and everything else revolves around the secrets hidden in Zhao Ji's tomb, she lured us here step by step, and uncovered the dusty truth step by step, in order to test us, those who can come here can be regarded as destined people, and those who have the ability to go out from here are the real chosen ones."

"So that's the case, so what kind of test do you think she will set next?"

"Isn't this already here, if you come, you will be safe, and if you check it again, I believe there will be a discovery."

Tatsuyina understood, so we searched for it in the cave again.

The whole space is in the shape of a mussel shell, with only one side of the long and narrow exit, and the cavity formed inside can produce a large echo, indicating that there is a large space.

"We were supposed to be washed in from a gap on one side, which was originally lower than the water level, and when the water level went down, the gap was revealed. In reality, the ground on the other side of the gap is much lower than the water level, and if I'm not mistaken, there should be an outlet for this place that connects to the underground river. ”

"Yes, otherwise, how would this full water be drained out?" Chen Yina was overjoyed, "Then let's hurry up and look for it and see where there are water traces." ”

"Uh-huh."

But we searched around, but we still didn't see a trace of running water.

"It's hard to see if the water is dry

Finish? Chen Yina muttered to herself.

"Impossible, this is underground, how can the water evaporate so quickly, and the temperature of the underground river is already low, the amount of water is not small, and it is even more impossible to say that it will be done, there must be some mystery!" I'm even more convinced that there may be a mechanism here.

"Could it be because of these stones?" Tatsu Yina came up with a bold idea, "For example, it will seep water!" ”

"Poof", I couldn't help laughing, "Yina, you can really joke, no matter how permeable this stone is, it is impossible to wash the water so thoroughly like a sponge, there must be some mechanism, but we haven't found it yet." ”

"Organs?" Chen Yina's eyes widened, "This is all smooth stones here, where are there traces of mechanisms?" ”

"Slippery?" Chen Yina's words suddenly gave me an inspiration, "Yes, it's light!" ”

Chen Yina was a little surprised by my reaction, and asked, "What's the matter, why are you repeating what I said?" Is there something wrong? ”

"Yes, it's really not, if this place is a natural cave, it may indeed become a slippery appearance after being washed by flowing water, but this place is by no means a natural cave, at least, it has been artificially transformed, if you want to set up a mechanism, it is difficult not to leave traces, the reason why it is still so slippery is because——"

"Because of what?" Chen Yina was whetted by me, looking forward to my answer.

"Because what they're actually renovating is an underground river outside, and there are devices under the underground river that can trigger the tides of the underground river, in other words, this should have been the old way of the underground river."

"Why do you talk more and more I get confused, what the hell do you want to say?" Tatsu Yina looked at me blankly, her eyes revealing confusion.

"If we want to change the river, the first thing we have to do is dig a new channel and then build a dam on top of the original channel to cut off the river. When the interception is successful, the new river channel is connected to the embankment, and when it is completed, the sluice gate is opened, and the new river is complete. ”

"So what?"

"The mechanism that causes the tides should be the dams that cut off the rivers, and the dams should be left on the old road, at least not completely disappeared on the old road."

"But as you said, there's nothing here."

"That must be something we've overlooked."

"Ignore?" Chen Yina said puzzledly, "I don't think we ignored anything, maybe we thought wrong!" ”

At that moment, I suddenly saw a pile of neatly arranged pebbles beneath my feet. These pebbles are lined up like a stone wall. However, this stone wall is not very high, only about half a meter, and it is undoubtedly impossible to use it as a dam.

"What are these stones for?" Chen Yina wondered.

"I don't know." I shook my head, still out of ideas.

But looking at these stones, I had an indescribable feeling in my heart, "What are these stones for?" "Just as I was puzzled, suddenly the stone at my feet moved.

I crouched down to look at it and was surprised to see that the stones weren't really "stones", but rather creatures—they had shells that glanced at the pebbles, and six pairs of legs curled up under the shells, like pebbles, almost as if they were real people.

Chen Yina was about to step on it, but I quickly stopped her and said, "Don't step on it!" ”

"How

What's up? Chen Yina was shocked and looked at me in surprise.

"It's a steel helmet, an ancient insect."

Chen Yina's eyes widened, looking at the motionless insects in front of her, she couldn't help but take a few steps back, "Bugs? ”

"Don't worry, these insects are docile and don't attack humans, they stay here, and they probably haven't moved for thousands of years."

"And how did they survive?"

"Water!"

"Water?"

"These bugs are the mechanism that drives the dam, and they are the dam itself. Steel helmets like water, almost all the abilities of their bodies come from water, without water they will be motionless, once they encounter water, they will desperately absorb water, and then their bodies will expand, until they expand to dozens or even hundreds of times the body. ”

"Huh? Hundreds of times, so terrifying! ”

"They should have a certain period of water absorption, don't look at them when they are motionless, they are very docile, but when they absorb water, their strength will become very large, big enough to cut off the river, so that the river will change lanes, and the water of the underground river outside will rise, and we just caught up with this point in time, so we were washed down."

"I see!"

"Well, once they are full, they will stay motionless, waiting for the water in their bodies to slowly disappear, and when a little water is used up, they will start a new round of water absorption, and so on, forming a delicate mechanism."

"And you're going to do that?"

"Wait."

"Wait?"

"Yes, when they continue to absorb water, let's find a place to rest for a while, I guess it's about time." I looked at the motionless steel helmet on the ground, "These guys are extremely greedy, and they are more anxious to drink water than to eat, so they will definitely not wait too long." ”

Sure enough, we didn't have to wait long for the steel helmets to stand up, sucking up the water desperately, and their bodies swelled rapidly, forming a dam that cut off the river.

Slowly the downstream began to show stones, and we climbed over the dam of the steel helmet claw and saw a narrow hole underneath.

"Let's go, go in and have a look."

After entering the cave, it is found that there is a passage leading to the top, which is supposed to prevent the upper space from being flooded, so it can be seen that the upper space should be a dry space.

"This ......" When I stepped into the upper space, I was stunned by what I saw. Because there are gold, silver, and jewels everywhere, and there are countless of them.

What's even more surprising is that a statue placed in the center of it, the statue is a gilded clay statue, and the carving should be Zhao Ji herself, she has a graceful body and a swaying posture, and she is indeed a beauty who has captivated the country and the city. In her hand, there was also a scroll.

"This should be the second half of the secret."

I took it off and opened it, and it was very exciting.

"This ......"

"So, what's written on this?" Chen Yina saw that my brows were tightly knit and wondered.

"It's incredible."

"It's unbelievable, what is it that surprises you so much."

"This is really the sorrow of the Great Qin Empire, for the sake of his lover, for his own selfish desires, not only does he not want his own son, but he also ......"

"And what?"
