After chatting with Sister Meng, I suddenly felt that I was being enveloped by an invisible hand.

This invisible hand can be said to be Wu Guoliang, but also to be an elusive "shadow". Yuling's investigation of "Shadow" was initially intended to reveal the secret of the "8062" plan, but as the investigation deepened step by step, it gradually evolved into a confrontation between Yuling and "Shadow".

"Shadow" originates from the oldest race, originated from the abuse of human civilization, and to some extent, it is one of the common ancestors of mankind. It represents the most extreme aspect of human nature, but no one can deny that it is the side that should be abandoned. Because human beings are complex, good and evil always coexist.

Wu Guoliang's planning of this good drama and framing everyone into his purpose and plan is undoubtedly the most in line with the concept of "invisible hand". However, at the moment, I don't know what his own situation is, so I naturally won't frown for him.

"It's the damn 'Shadow' again." I felt a little anxious, "Every time it exists, things get extremely troublesome, but—"

This time, I'm not worried that "Ying" has colluded with Wu Guoliang. First of all, in the whole process, if I hadn't been drugged today, I would not have noticed the action of the "shadow" at all, it did not show the existence of objective forces, there was neither hindrance nor confrontation, and at the same time, there was no subjective deliberateness, it seemed that the whole thing was completely parallel to it, and it had no intention of participating in the activity, nor did it want to be entangled. Of course, since it has drugged me, it means that it has acted, at least to warn me, or to provoke, to mock me for not being aware of their existence until now.

Secondly, the drug itself is very strange, and a careful analysis shows that it can be poisoned without me being completely defended, and if it is poison, they have already succeeded, and I cannot still have the opportunity to sit here and analyze it. Clearly, they don't want to kill me, maybe that's how they meet?

Finally, I thought of those mysterious corpses, these people are most likely not ordinary tomb robbers, so who could they be? Is it possible that "shadows"?

Thinking of this, my inner intuition became more firm, and I was hesitant to make a judgment, but now I am very sure.

"Regardless of its purpose, it is better to 'not interfere with the river water' in this matter, otherwise it will be very difficult to rescue." I've secretly figured out what to do next.

If Shadow does get involved, I hope it's just a coincidence, or I'll regret taking these old ladies out of the house, because then it might be their burial place.

The reason why I compare the "shadows" to invisible hands is because my associations tell me that they may have been operating around the "Tomb of Yingzheng" for a long time, and its plan was not aimed at us, but what it was, I still can't think of yet, maybe it wanted something in the tomb, or maybe it manipulated the great change that changed history.

After all, isn't it doing less things like palace change? For it, it's just a matter of getting started.

It is like a hand that promotes the development of history, invisibly, contains the power to rewrite history, it can easily change the course of history, but also can change the fate of the dynasty at will, history is just the stage for it to perform the clouds and rain, the real meaning of its existence, is the source of human nature has always been contradictory - desire.

I once wondered if the confrontation between Yuling and "Shadow" was meaningful? In the final analysis, the descendants of Yuling are also people, and the gods and ghosts are just a group of people who have suffered a "curse", and the "shadow" is a human entity, which includes all people, can we defeat ourselves?

She told me that because of the different positions, we had to fight. However, "Shadow" never seems to want to express any position, it is like a primitive impulse - the Big Bang, such as ambition will be inflated, desire will be inflated, etc. If it gives itself a definition, it may be very sacred, otherwise there are not so many people who are loyal to it who will go forward for it.

"What do you think, Lin Kun, how can you speak to the 'shadow'!" I came to my senses and gave myself a slap in the face, "You must not shake your position, it is your old enemy, it will either explode in silence or perish in silence." ”

When I was done, I pulled out a photo.

Zhao Zhen took the photo and asked puzzledly: "Is it the tomb of Yingzheng?" ”

I nodded and said, "I don't buy anything anymore, this photo was taken before we entered the tomb of Yingzheng, you can see from above, its mound of sealed soil is very high, we also know that the underground space is also very amazing, the ratio of up and down is not large 1:3, what does it mean?" ”

"It means that even if the mound of sealed soil is all submerged, it will not be possible to fill this underground space." Zhao Zhen replied.

When Wu Honghong heard this, her constricted frown stretched a little. I continued: "Yes, there is another reason, I remember Sister Yan, you made a hole from above, right? ”

Tang Yan nodded and said, "That's right, it should be in the northeast of the sealed mound, after we opened the thief hole, we found that you were trapped below us." ”

"That's right, we haven't had time to exact our location in the ancient tomb before, today I have been recalling the route of the ancient tomb, if my estimate is correct, the underground palace is bounded by the golden tree, divided into two blocks on the left and right, the left block is low and the right is high, the left block is the main body of the tomb, and the area on the right is a little more complicated, it should be built according to the natural terrain, with the golden tree as a staircase, it can only be reached by climbing, including the huge cave." "So, the shape of the dungeon is actually a boot shape, and there may be a space to the right of the cave we haven't reached yet. ”

"Is your hypothesis reliable?" Zhao Zhen asked.

"I know you're going to have doubts, but it's a deductible conclusion, look at this place." After speaking, I glanced at Zhao Zhen and pointed to the approximate location of the robbery hole that Tang Yan and the others fought in the photo, "This place is facing down, you will find that the sealed mound is not facing the entire underground palace, it is biased, it is not unfortunate, it is biased by exactly one-third." ”

Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "You mean to say that this is deliberate?" ”

"I guess it's to avoid the huge cavern below, otherwise the structure of the tomb is unstable and it can't support the huge mound of earth above." Yelu Qinghui continued.

I nodded and said, "Lao Ye is right, I think so too." ”

Zhao Zhen nodded after hearing me say it, "That makes sense." ”

"Just tell me how we do it." Zhao Zhen looked at me and said straightforwardly.

I took a sip of water and said word by word: "Dig a vertical hole fifty meters from the right side of the mound." ”

"Okay, that's it!"

Going down to the grave is dangerous work, especially if there is a landslide underneath. So, I decided to only take Wu Honghong and Chen Yina with me, Zhao Zhen, and Yelu Qinghui. We made a vertical hole, carefully along the way, and soon we reached the bottom.

I was already sweating profusely, and my feet were shaking unconsciously. Usually this kind of rough work is done by Hu Bing's hands. Now I feel like I'm almost going to die, I didn't expect Jingran to be so tired.

Zhao Zhen was also tired enough to carry other things.

I stopped to light my cigarette and said, "Wait." We can't rush in, what if something awaits us? ”

Zhao Zhen suddenly said: "Look at the ground!" ”

I looked down and saw that the floor was full of messy footprints.

"Footprints?" I was surprised and excited at the same time, "Great, this means that Wu Guoliang is still alive." ”

"You see, the footprints here are very messy, and now we can find out where he came from based on the pattern on the soles." Zhao Zhen said.

I looked down at the countless footprints under our feet and understood that Zhao Zhen's method was feasible.

We followed his method backwards and soon came to the middle of several pillars. We found that the footprints on the ground actually came from a pillar.

"Could it be the pillar man who came out of the pillar?" Yelu Qinghui touched his chin and expressed doubt.

Zhao Zhen put his face on it and carefully looked at the details of this pillar.

This pillar is carved with a pattern in the style of a man's kiss, which is really quite rare in ancient tombs. I'm pretty sure it's a kiss, but on these kisses, I found some unicorn scales. I think it might be a new hybrid beast.

"Lin Kun, what kind of divine beast did you say at this time?"

"I don't know, or the craftsman got it wrong, but with such a careful carving, it doesn't feel like a mistake is likely."

Zhao Zhen touched the buttocks of those cheek kisses, suddenly let go, turned around and went to another pillar to touch, touched it back and forth dozens of times, and said to me: "The temperature is different!" The material of the two pillars is different, and this one seems to be wrapped in some kind of metal, but it is deliberately made of exactly the same lacquer work as the other one. ”

"So, there's a mechanism in there?" I said.

"Needless to say, the footprints came out of here, there must be a mechanism here, and this place may be the secret passage into the rightmost space you said." Zhao Zhen said, "You let me press it well, one of them must be strange." ”

Saying that, Zhao Zhen was going to take off his coat and go up to study it well.

I hurried to stop it, saying, "I'm sure I'm going to touch something." ”

"There are no particularly lethal mechanisms along the way, I don't think you need to worry about this, just be careful."

Saying that, Zhao Zhen studied the details on the mantis kisses one by one, and they were so careful that they were a little obscene, but no matter how he studied them, he felt that these mantis were dead and could not be pressed.

"I'll do it anyway." After all, Zhao Zhen is not experienced enough, and he may not know how to do it when he encounters a clever agency, so he still has to let me go out at a critical time.

I put my fingers on the cold pillar, and then gently slid my fingers over all the patterns, quietly walking around the pillar again and again. Zhao Zhen and the others didn't dare to make any sounds. When I went around the twentieth circle, I suddenly stopped and said: "Listen to me, Zhao Zhen, you find the thirteenth in the first line, Lao Ye, you find the ninth in the second line, Honghong, you are the seventh in the third line, Yi Na, the first in the fourth line, you listen to my password, and then press it in turn, remember the order!" ”

"Press!" After saying that, my hand immediately pressed down.

Zhao Zhen immediately complied. After finishing it, I suddenly saw that the pillars began to rotate slowly. Yelu Qinghui, Wu Honghong, and Chen Yina all did the same. Turning around, a gap appeared in the middle of the pillar, which could only be passed sideways by one person. Inside the gap is a passage, all the way down, straight to the ground.

On the inner wall of this pillar, there are climbing footpegs.

"Cow!" Zhao Zhen said.
