I don't know how long it took to dig, and I don't know how many times the hourglass around Shi Cheng has flipped over, Wu Neng sat on a stone and quietly listened to the muffled sound of Kaishan Saburo's power core when it was running, so as not to lose his spirit in the boundless darkness.

There wasn't much fuel on the two of them, and there was no danger in the tunnel, so Shi Cheng didn't want to waste fuel to light the lamp. Wu Neng was quite contemptuous of Shi Cheng's stingy behavior, but in order to dispel the loneliness caused by the darkness, he still kept trying to talk to Shi Cheng.

But Shi Cheng rarely paid attention to him, and didn't seem to want to reveal too much of his experience to Wu Neng. Wu Neng had no choice but to whisper a few words to Shi Cheng's ancestors when he couldn't stand it.

Suddenly, a crisp crash sound came from a mountain pioneer's shovel, and Shi Cheng, who had been closing his eyes to recuperate, also opened his eyes and said to Wu Neng: "When you get to the place, let your agency people make the movement smaller." ”

Wu Neng asked curiously, "How do you know that we have arrived?" ”

"I've stepped on it here before," Shi Cheng replied, "The soil of this lowland is mainly sand and gravel, and it is relatively loose, except that the foundation of the Bai family ancestral hall is made of bluestone, and the sound from this shovel suddenly becomes crisp, thinking that the foundation has been dug up." ”

Wu Neng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll pay attention to it." ”

The two of them immediately took a lot of care when digging, so as not to be discovered by the Bai family guards on duty outside the ancestral hall, and after digging for a while, the sound of the shovel in Shi Cheng's hand hitting the stone bricks changed a little, he hurriedly asked Wu Neng to stop, and he took the shovel and knocked on the four sides of a piece of masonry, and then pushed it up hard, and the fresh air rushed into the tunnel, and the entire tunnel had been dug through.

Shi Cheng took the lead, propped up his two hands on the cave wall, and drilled out of the cave with dexterity like a fox, he cautiously looked around, and after making sure that there was no danger around, he beckoned Wu Neng to come up with him.

Wu Neng retracted the four mountain pioneers, and also climbed out of the tunnel, as soon as he climbed out, he couldn't help but exclaim: "I'll go!" Is this really the ancestral hall of the Bai family, it is so empty and spacious. ”

Shi Cheng shouted softly: "Be quiet, there are still people outside, don't be surprised." ”

"I'm sorry." Wu Neng hurriedly apologized in a whisper, "But this Bai family is really thrifty enough, and there are so few things in the ancestral hall." ”

Shi Cheng didn't say a word, he quietly paced around the ancestral hall, and then, he stood in front of the offering table in a daze, stared at the door of the ancestral hall for a long time, and then whispered to himself: "I see, so everything is clear, and the next thing to do is to go to the tomb of the ancestors of the Bai family behind the ancestral hall to see." ”

Wu Neng didn't hear Shi Cheng's words clearly, he saw Shi Cheng go to the back of the offering table, so he followed along.

The two of them looked at the back of the altar table in the ancestral hall, behind which was the passage to the tomb of the ancestors, which was tightly hidden behind them by a stone door.

Shi Cheng walked to the stone gate and pushed hard, but the stone gate did not move. He turned his head to Wu Neng and said, "If you want to break the door by force, the movement is too big, you see if you can unlock the mechanism on the door, we can go in and have a look." ”

"It's not good to enter someone's ancestral grave......" Wu Neng said embarrassedly.

Shi Cheng said disappreciably: "Just go in and have a look, it's not to dig up other people's ancestral graves, what's lacking in virtue?" ”

Wu Neng shook his head helplessly, walked to the door, and after studying and fiddling with the door lock for a while, he only heard a click, and the stone door slowly fell in front of the two of them.

"Whether there is another mystery in the tomb, go down and find out. I'm exploring the way ahead, and after you come and break off, don't forget to raise the stone gate back. After saying that, Shi Cheng lit a fire and entered the door first. Wu Neng was so anxious that he screamed several times in the back, and finally followed Shi Cheng in helplessness.

The two of them walked in the staircase for nearly a cup of tea, and soon, a wide tomb appeared in front of the two, Wu Neng followed Shi Cheng out of the stairs, as soon as he entered the tomb, he was shocked by the surrounding environment, and couldn't help but praise: "Good guy, the Bai family's tomb can be repaired, and so many ever-bright lamps are used to illuminate the tomb, I didn't expect a family in a small city in the Western Desert Country to come up with so much money to repair the tomb." ”

Shi Cheng gently touched the stone bricks on the wall, and after pondering for a while, he said to Wu Neng: "It would be more accurate to say that the current Bai family is in the middle of the road." This masonry should be a popular style in the Eastern Continent three hundred years ago, and this tomb should have been built for an ancestor of the Bai family at the beginning, but later the descendants of the family were also buried in this tomb after their deaths, and this tomb became a family tomb. ”

Wu Neng sighed for a while and wanted to continue walking, but Shi Cheng stopped him directly.

"Don't move!" Shi Cheng said, and then he suddenly threw a stone, and as the stone continued to be refracted in the tomb, dense arrows flew everywhere in front of the two, and the mechanism in the tomb road shot a hundred breaths before stopping. The entire tomb is filled with arrows, like a jungle of thorns.

"You're a mechanic, don't you even know that there will be traps in the tomb to prevent tomb robbers? We are not from the Bai family, so we must be careful when entering someone's tomb. After throwing down these words, Shi Cheng carefully confirmed the situation ahead before he stepped on the "iron forest" with light skills.

Wu Neng muttered: "I haven't designed a tomb for anyone, how do I know this." ”

After complaining a few words, Wu Neng honestly followed Shi Cheng's back, and the two of them passed through one tomb after another and burial chambers, avoiding several powerful mechanisms. They found some stolen empty coffins in the front burial chamber, but this disappeared in the deep burial tunnel, and the two stayed in different burial chambers for a while, but found no other clues, and Shi Cheng and Wu Neng had to continue to go deeper.

Wu Neng was also a lot more serious after he almost lost his front hooves, and on several occasions he discovered the mechanism in the tomb earlier than Shi Cheng. Although it is the first time for the two to work together, they cooperate well with each other.

Gradually, the two of them had reached the deepest part of the tomb, and after passing through a tomb paved with exquisite copper bricks, a huge burial chamber appeared in front of them. But the moment they entered the tomb, a rumbling thunder suddenly rang out in the tomb.

Wu Neng couldn't help but exclaim: "What's the matter, why is there sudden thunder in this tomb?" ”

He looked at Shi Cheng on the side, but found that Shi Cheng's face had changed a little. He was also a little surprised and said, "Thunder in all directions! Someone would have set up such a big formation in their sleeping tomb! This ancestor of the Bai family is really a ruthless character. ”

Wu Neng was already panicking, he had already heard of such a famous Eastern Continent Formation Technique. But Shi Cheng calmed down immediately after being shocked, and he hurriedly pulled Wu Neng to the southeast, narrowly avoiding the thunder that slashed in front of him.

Wu Neng's face was already white, and Shi Cheng hurriedly shouted: "Don't be distracted! The Eight Directions Thunder Array in this tomb is relatively simple, and it seems that the operation of the formation is not smooth because of its age. In addition, there are big flaws in this formation, and if you follow closely, I'll be fine! ”

As soon as he drank it, Wu Neng hurriedly collected his mind and followed closely behind Shi Cheng.

After Shi Cheng figured out the rules of the formation, he took Wu Neng to suddenly jump to the northeast, avoiding a flash of lightning that slashed over. He borrowed his strength from a pillar and jumped neatly out of the big formation. At this time, there was thunder and lightning behind the two of them, and a loud noise echoed in the tomb, shaking their ears extremely uncomfortable. The floor on the side of the tomb door was paved with copper bricks, which were intact under the thunder and lightning.

Wu Neng fell on the ground and rolled twice to find that his head had hit a soft object covered in cloth. He turned his head to take a look at the thunder in the tomb, and his scalp exploded.

I saw a hideous male corpse leaning against a pillar, and his terrifying face happened to be condescending to Wu Neng. Wu Neng was taken aback by this corpse, and couldn't say anything with his mouth wide open.

Shi Cheng on the side patted himself and stood up and saw the corpse, he looked around, and soon found that the corpse was not lonely, and there were two other corpses next to the corpse, and it seemed that the costume was the companion of the corpse sitting next to the pillar.

Shi Cheng walked over, squatted down and lifted the clothes of the three corpses, examined them, and said, "These people, they may have been dead for more than half a month, and they should have been struck by lightning and died, but ...... No......" The more he spoke, the quieter his voice became.

Wu Neng saw Shi Cheng's pensive look on his face, and asked curiously, "What's wrong?" ”

Shi Cheng didn't speak, shook his head at Wu Neng, and then walked to the two pairs of golden silk nanmu inlaid jade coffins in the center of the tomb, and a huge black stone tablet standing in front of the two coffins attracted his attention.

Shi Cheng looked at the inscription carefully, and read it as he read it: "Father Bai Gong was loyal to him, the governor of the Southern Wilderness of Great Wei led the people of Pulai City, born on the seventh day of the third month of the fourteenth year of the first year of the Tai Dynasty, and died on the ninth ......day of the fifth month of the twenty-third year of the Jianming Dynasty."

"It seems that very few people still write inscriptions in the grammar of the old imperial era, and the creator of this inscription may have been an ancient man a long time ago." Shi Cheng thought to himself.

After reading the words on the stele, Shi Cheng stared at the stele and said loudly to Wu Neng: "Sure enough, this tomb was originally built for an ancestor of the Bai family more than three hundred and thirty years ago. The ancestor of the Bai family was named Bai Fengzhong, who was originally an indigenous nobleman in the Southern Wilderness, and when he became an adult, it coincided with the era when the founding emperor of the Wei State swept Liuhe in the new land of the Eastern Continent and began to cross the sea to open up the Southern Wilderness. After Wei took over the control of the Western Desert by Miyun State, he served in the Southern Wilderness Camp of Wei State, rising through the ranks of the army with his military exploits, and also accumulating countless wealth in the campaign. After the defeat of the first governor of Wei in the Southern Wilderness, he was afraid that the new governor would liquidate the previous team, so he returned to his hometown early, and the family left Pulai City and went to settle in a small northwest city in the Western Desert Kingdom. Oh yes, if I'm not mistaken, this Pulai City should be the ancient name of the Western Desert King City, and this small northwest city should be the predecessor of today's Redwood City. ”

Shi Cheng said a lot of words, but he didn't see Wu Neng respond, he turned his head, only to find that Wu Neng was staring blankly at the three corpses next to the stone pillar. There was doubt and sadness in Wu Neng's eyes, but more than that, anger.
