Chapter 4 Xiaoling Mountain Underground Palace

"Heyβ€”little white horseβ€”" Tranquility lay in the doorway, shouting downward, unable to hear his response at all after six or seven sounds, worriedly, "He can't fall to his death, right?"

"Didn't you find him to explore the cave? you should put a camera or something on him, otherwise you won't be able to see what's under the cave when he hangs up, isn't it in vain?" asked Wang Zi as he approached the cave.

Tranquility grabbed him by the collar, lifted him up, and placed him on top of the hole, "Now that you have brought us here, I don't bother to pretend with you again, he is our classmate, we are not here to rob the tomb." Tell me if you fall to your death, or I'll drop you too!"

Wang Zi was raised by this little girl with one hand, and looked at Kong Lao Liu in amazement, the old man gave him a frank and lenient look, it seems that these people are really not a gang of touching gold, "You guys, who are you, if you are from the Yamen, we have something to say, don't violently enforce the law, okay?"

Nie Jianfeng drew his sword, pointed at him, and said coldly: "What's down there?" If you don't say anything, I'll cut off one of your legs, and then throw you down, and see if you can climb up." ”

"Oh, don't make trouble, a few heroes, I'm also a law-abiding citizen......"

"Phew!" Tranquility scolded, "You tomb robber, you're a law-abiding citizen!"

"Yes, yes, I'll make it clear, this entrance is a pipe, and if you fall down, you will slide all the way to the bottom, and there is an air cushion at the bottom, so you won't be hurt. ”

"Air cushion?" Kong Lao Liu was stunned, "The kid doesn't look at the current situation, is he still fooling around?"

Tranquility also scolded: "That's it, it's also an air cushion, this is obviously an ancient underground palace, do you think it's a modern underground shelter?

"What a cushion! What am I lying to you doing, I'm not an earthworm, I can't stand you really chopping off one of my legs!"

"Let him go. Fu Jiansheng said, "He said that if there is us, we will believe him and throw him down, and he will not die anyway." ”

Tranquility hesitated for a while, and Wang Zi hurriedly said, "Okay, let me go down, I'm almost out of breath in this half-suspension!"

It sounds like he can't die, Fu Jiansheng raised his eyebrows, and as soon as he let go of his hand, he went down.

"Let's go down too. Fu Jiansheng looked at this hole that could not be seen to the end, stretched out his legs and wanted to go down first, but was stopped by Kong Laoliu.

"Let me go down first. ”

Nie Jianfeng said: "Old man, you have a body, you should stay outside." After speaking, he saw Fu Jiansheng glancing at him, there was a subconscious blame in his eyes, as if he had said the wrong thing, Nie Jianfeng was a little puzzled, but it was just a quick glance, thinking that it was his own illusion, and he didn't care.

Fu Jiansheng took a step back and made way for Kong Lao Liu, bowing slightly.

Kong Lao Liu jumped in almost without thinking about it, his flexible body was like a seventeen or eighteen boy, looking at Tranquility and Nie Jianfeng was stunned.

Fu Jiansheng then jumped down, and Nie Jianfeng said to Ningning: "I'll hold you and jump, so I can take care of it." ”

Tranquility smiled beautifully, and was hugged by Nie Jianfeng from behind, Luo Yong glanced at them and jumped down, and then Nie Jianfeng hugged Tranquility and went down.

This hole is indeed a pipe, like a slide, and it is very long, and Nie Jianfeng and Tranquility, who went down at the end, slid down quickly, and the light of the flashlight fell with it, speeding on the wall of the pipe, this pipe was very smooth, like glass, but it was not transparent.

It took a while to reach the exit, and sure enough, there was an air cushion underneath, and the two of them smashed on it and bounced up.

The five people below were waiting for them, and they all seemed to be fine.

Nie Jianfeng shone this air cushion with a flashlight, looked at it carefully, and found that it was a two-meter-square sponge-like thing, which looked like it grew naturally, which was different from an artificial sponge.

Tranquility also poked curiously, it was a little hard, and the process of bouncing back after poking it down was not fast, and it didn't look like it was inflated.

"Look at it. Kong Laoliu pointed upward, and they found that in the dark space, there was the diamond inlaid above, and the sunlight passed through this diamond with several prisms embedded inside, emitting several colored lights, which were irregularly dispersed and shot at eight points in the distance.

Their flashlights shone together, revealing a three-meter-tall sculpture of eight pythons entwined together, and the eight points were the heads of eight pythons.

Hakumashi looked at this sculpture from top to bottom, and when he looked down, he found that these pythons shared a body, which looked like an eight-headed snake, and blurted out, "This is, Yaqi Orochi?

"Read more. Nie Jianfeng sighed, "The Yaki Orochi is not an anime original, there is indeed this monster in Japanese mythology. ”

Kong Lao Liu said, "It seems that when the sunlight shines directly on the diamond on the top, the prism in the diamond disperses the light into eight rays of light and shines on the eight snakes, and the entrance will be opened." ”

"Very smart design. Fu Jiansheng exclaimed, "So when the sunlight is no longer shining, the entrance to the cave will be closed?"

"You're quick to respond. Wang Zi said, "This entrance can only be opened for about an hour at a time, and it will be closed when the time comes, and if you want to open it again, you will have to wait a day. ”

"Isn't it okay to use the light of a flashlight?" asked Hakumashio.

"No, I've tried, that snake head can only open the door when it's exposed to sunlight, and nothing else can be done. The devil knows what the principle is, solar energy?" Wang Zi said very puzzled.

Fu Jiansheng stopped them from talking any further, and took out a flare from his bag, "We have less than an hour to do, and we need to fight quickly." ”

With a "whoosh", a shining white fireball rose up, illuminating the dark space.

This is a huge underground cavern, topped by a load-bearing dome structure, and there seem to be many stone beams supporting the top, which seems to have been carefully processed. In the distance, a building is faintly visible, far away, but very large, and it can probably be seen that it is an ancient Chinese palace-style building, the vast ground is like a plain, and the whole looks like a very regular dinner plate lid.

"I said, sir, can you tell which dynasty built it?" Although it was not the first time for Wang Zi to come here, it was the first time to see such a clear overall environment under the flare, and he only felt very shocked, especially this flare, which was too bright, like a person making the sun.

"I don't know, but it's not like the ancients could have made it. Fu Jiansheng said.

Without saying a word, the seven of them headed towards the dungeon in the distance. This flare is not ordinary, it has stayed in the air after reaching the highest place, illuminating the surroundings very clearly, really like a small sun.

Along the way, the ground of this cave is very smooth, empty, not even a small pebble, looking at the palace that is gradually approaching in the distance, this whole flat land is like a square, inexplicably there is a sense of sacredness, just like the big square of the Forbidden City, although empty, but very majestic.

It looks like it's not just the palace, even the cave is part of the dungeon.

When I got closer, I found that this underground palace was not independent, but built against the cave wall, half of the palace was in the cave wall, and the cave wall at this end was not as regular as the end when it came, it looked like a mountain, and this palace was embedded in the mountain.

In front of the underground palace is a wide and long staircase, hundreds of meters of steps extend to the ground, and when you get closer, you can see that this palace is very tall. When the seven people climbed the halfway steps, there were only six people left, and Shiraba Shino was lying half-dead on the steps at least twenty meters away from them, panting for air.

I knew that I would learn the spiritual art to increase my physical strength first, and I couldn't help at all if I didn't have a sword to learn anything. Hakuma Xiao grumbled, and continued to climb up with his hands and feet.

By the time he reached the end with difficulty, the six of them were already staring at a screen in the palace, talking to each other.

When I got closer, I found that this screen was carved from a whole piece of white marble, densely inlaid with red jade, behind the screen was the whole picture of this palace, the hall more than 20 meters high, twenty-four thick load-bearing pillars were neatly arranged, and at the other end of the door was a huge golden wall, and a long sarcophagus was placed in front of the wall. Under the sarcophagus is a wide red carpet that extends all the way to the door, and there is not a single light source in the whole hall, but there are two rows of lamp stands neatly placed on both sides of the red carpet, which are full of oil lamps. The lampstand extends all the way to the screen, and in front of the screen is a tall bronze mirror facing the screen at a strange elevation angle.

Wang Zi looked at the stone screen inlaid with rubies, pointed to a hole in the lower right corner, and said, "My piece of corpse jade fell off from this hole." ”

The screen made of stone is very thin, and a piece of red jade the size of an egg is inlaid on it, which can protrude from the front and back, and when you cut it out, it is a hole.

Tranquility squinted at him, "If you cut it off, you will say that it will be cut off, what will you say about falling off, you are already a tomb robber, are you still afraid of taking on the charge of destroying cultural relics?"

Wang Zi hurriedly waved his hand, "How can it be, my sister, I didn't pick it off for a long time here that day, it was like welding, I kicked it in a fit of anger, and this piece fell off, it's true!"

Fu Jiansheng didn't want to dwell on this issue, and said, "You guys light all the lights." There is a bronze mirror here, which may have something to do with these lights. ”

The four students stepped forward to light the oil lamps on these lampstands, and the whole hall suddenly became very bright, it didn't look like these dozens of oil lamps could do it at all, it turned out that the surrounding pillars and beams were embedded with dozens of copper mirrors, and the whole hall was as bright as a candle after these lights were reflected heavily.

But nothing happened, just the hall lit up.

Fu Jiansheng looked at this featureless hall and asked Kong Lao Liudao, "Do you think there is any mechanism?"

Since going down this cave, this Kong Lao Liu has rarely spoken, which is very inconsistent with his previous image of an archaeological expert, Wang Zi also felt strange, "Mr. Kong, is there something wrong here?"

Kong Lao Liu looked at this screen and fell into deep thought, "Earlier, your blood jade was a mural after the light was transmitted, and these are probably the same." After speaking, he turned on the flashlight and pointed at the same piece of blood jade on the screen, the light shone through the blood jade on the huge golden wall, showing a faint red light, he shook his head, "No, it's too bright here to see anything." ”

"Do you want to put out all the lights?" Fu Jiansheng said.

Bai Maxiao immediately protested: "Don't, we finally got it all full!"

Ning Ning was about to scold him, but he heard Kong Lao Liu say: "Don't, the design of the copper mirror here is very clever, since so many oil lamps and copper mirrors are placed, we should need to light them." You see that the bronze mirror in front of this screen is so big, and the angle is also very peculiar, it seems to concentrate all the light on this copper mirror, and then reflect it on this screen. ”

Everyone fell silent, wondering if there was another mechanism in this dungeon, Bai Maxiao didn't have the leisure to think about this, he walked to the golden wall, knocked, and made a metallic sound, and said in his heart that this can't be pure gold, right?

After looking at it for a while, I felt bored, this place is very big and spectacular, but there is nothing special, there is nothing to do, the only thing that does not match the surroundings is the sarcophagus in front of the golden wall.

This sarcophagus is not big, less than two meters long, and it is not wide, it must be too narrow for a normal adult man to lie in, and a slender woman may be able to.

He walked in and remembered the circular stone chamber of the GSG Lisha Haiti Palace, where there was also a sarcophagus like this, so he wanted to push it to see if it could be opened as well, maybe there was something special in it.

But after pushing it for a long time, I found that this is not a sarcophagus at all, it seems to be a stone platform, so it looks a bit like the sacrificial platform of those cults in the movie, with a living person lying on it or something.

When I thought of the word "lying", I remembered that I had just climbed hundreds of steps, and I felt tired, so I lay down on this stone bed-like platform.

I originally thought it was a sarcophagus, so I thought it was narrower, but the countertop was larger than the bottom, and it was just right to lie on it.

He lay on it, indescribably comfortable, looking at the top of the hall directly above, as if he saw something tied to a few iron chains.

"White Horse, what are you doing there?!" Fu Jiansheng shouted.

Tranquility looked at him like a living sacrifice on the altar, and said with a smile, "Are you sacrificing yourself?"

"Look, there's something up there. Hakumashi was still lying, pointing to something chained to above.

Suddenly, as if untied, the thing fell down towards Hakumashio's waist.

The moment it fell, Hakumashi clearly saw that it was a sword.
