Lin Yi pulled Bai Lu out of the water, stepped on the stone steps, and the two disassembled each other's diving equipment, changed into civilian clothes, and packed up the equipment.

I turned on the flashlight and walked up the stairs.

The entire passage was pitch black, and the overhead was an arched structure, and the water vapor condensed from the well water rose and fell into the water drop by drop from the vault.

The sound of "tick-tock" is particularly clear in the deep passage.

The bright flashlight in Lin Yi's hand swept over the stone steps and the surrounding walls.

The workmanship here is obviously more elegant, the bluestone paving, the blue brick wall, the staggered, complicated but not chaotic.

Each stone is neatly cut and stacked seamlessly.

Presumably, this project was carried out by the 300 Xichuan stonemasons who were "invited" to Aomine Mountain.

As you walk up this straight staircase, the dampness becomes lighter and the surroundings begin to dry out.

Lampstands that had been dug out in advance also appeared on the walls.

There were thirty-three staircases, and at the end of the staircase, two huge stone pillars suddenly stood in front of me.

It's like the two ancient soldiers standing in the dark.

When the lights turned on, it turned out to be two Chinese watches three meters high.

"It's Huabiao!"

Bai Lu pointed to the stone pillar and shouted.

Who can not know Huabiao as a child who grew up in the capital?

"Brother Lin, how can there be a Huabiao here?"

Lin Yi turned on the flashlight and carefully observed the two Chinese watches.

The three-layer base, which is carved with cloud patterns, sits on the top of a stone-carved divine beast "Roaring at the Sky".

This Huabiao is a typical style of the Ming Dynasty in terms of shape and carving.

"Huabiao, this kind of thing, by the time of the Ming Dynasty, has been widely used in the Shinto of the mausoleum, appearing here, it means that we are really in the right place this time!"

On the other side of the camera, Wang Qiang, Qian Sheng, and the fifth brother, when they heard Lin Yi's words, they immediately became extremely excited, high-fived each other, and celebrated a little.

"The grandsons of the Southern Sect still don't even know which way the door opens, we all entered, how can this compare?"

"Shhhh Be quiet, and then alarm the people in the front yard, don't be in a hurry to celebrate, where is this, don't be impatient, don't be impatient. Qian Sheng patted Wang Qiang on the shoulder and asked him to try to control his emotions.

Behind the two Huabiao are the stone statues of various colors lined up on both sides of the road.

Each statue is visually measured upwards by several tons.

"By the time of the Ming Dynasty, there were clear standards for funeral regulations.

Failure to follow this standard is to overstep the system.

For example, the "Ming Huidian" stipulates that the prince and the first-rank and second-rank officials are a pair of stone pillars, stone tigers, stone sheep, stone horses, and stone people.

The third product minus a pair of stone people, and the fourth product is a pair of stone pillars, stone horses, and stone tigers.

The five products are a pair of stone pillars, stone horses, and stone sheep, and the stone statues are not allowed to be set up below the six grades. ”

While explaining to Bai Lu, Lin Yi used a flashlight to look at these stone statues lying quietly on the ground one by one.

Bai Lu silently read the numbers in his mouth, counting them one by one.

"No, this number is definitely exceeded, you see, two pairs of Huabiao, two pairs of lions, two pairs of pigs, camels, elephants, and unicorns, this is already twelve pairs.

Not counting those stone tigers, stone horses or something.

There are two pairs of martial ministers and civil ministers in the back, both of which are standing elephants, how many of them are right? ”

Lin Yi looked behind him with the help of a flashlight.

"It's normal, the larger the scale of this stone statue, the more it means that we are in the right place.

You must know that Zhang Xianzhong is the emperor, as the emperor of Daxi, of course, he must adopt the regulations of the imperial mausoleum to build his own mausoleum. This shows that we have found the right place, this is Zhang Xianzhong's 'Tomb of the Eight Kings' and 'Tomb of the Great West King'. ”

Bai Lu nodded as if he didn't understand, took out his camera, and recorded these lifelike stone statues one by one.

By the Ming Dynasty, the carving process of these stone statues was already very advanced.

It is also more realistic, plus these stone statues are hidden underground, not weathered and eroded, and are still well preserved, but because of the influence of some water vapor, some moss grows underneath.

Bai Lu's footsteps finally stopped in front of the last two stone statues.

These two stone statues are born, one literary and one martial arts stand opposite each other.

Judging from the way he was dressed, he could tell at a glance that this was an old acquaintance - Weng Zhong.

Weng Zhong of the Ming Dynasty Emperor's Mausoleum is divided into two types: civil and military.

Wu Weng Zhong, wearing a amphora helmet, wearing ring arm armor, and holding a steel whip.

Wen Weng Zhong, wearing a black gauze hat, wearing a round neck, holding a wat board.

These are all instantly recognizable features that are highly recognizable.

"This is Shi Wengzhong, when we see him, we are not far from the tomb gate."

Lin Yi explained.

"Is this really carved out of stone? Why is their armor still reflective in the photos I took? ”

"Reflective?"

Lin Yi's heart suddenly became strange, and when he took a closer look, it was indeed as Bai Lu said.

After she turned on the flash, the photographed Wu Weng Zhong really had that kind of black and shiny reflective effect.

How can a stone carving have a luster similar to lacquerware?

They were still three or four meters away from the two Shi Weng Zhong now, and Lin Yi had already vaguely felt a hint of uneasiness.

Just like when they entered the "Double Week Tomb" before, the road ahead was very smooth, until when they found the stone statue, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

This time, it's the stone statue again, and there's a problem here.

Lin Yi pulled out the obstacle knife and held it in front of him, blocking Bai Lu behind him.

Unexpectedly, Bai Lu flashed and stood side by side with him, with two more tiger claw daggers in his hands.

"I almost forgot, you have two brushes too!"

"It's not too late to think about it."

At this moment, Wang Qiang's voice came from the walkie-talkie on Lin Yi's shoulder.

"What's going on with you two, what's going on?"

"I can't tell for a while, anyway, the stone statues here are quite evil, I'll go over and take a look."

"Need reinforcements? This time, the things we brought are not ordinary, do you want to try this set of American equipment for you? ”

"Use a knife to kill chickens, keep these things to clean up the big zongzi!"

With that, Lin Yi held a flashlight in one hand and slowly approached the stone statue.

It may be that the light of the flash light was fleeting before, and there was nothing unusual about the stone statue.

When the beams of these two strong flashlights shone over, the black "armor" on Wu Wengzhong's body actually moved slowly, and the sound of rustling began to reach Lin Yi's ears.

Lin Yi looked at it, and immediately felt a chill all over his body.

What kind of armor is this, this is simply one after another overlapping hard-shelled arthropods, each with a shell the size of a mineral water bottle cap, and each one has at least twelve or thirteen sections.

entangled with each other, wrapping the entire Shi Weng Zhong tightly.
