In the open square in front of the underground palace.

After overcoming many difficulties and life-and-death crises, Jin An and the others finally found the true mausoleum of the lord of Tengguo.

When they were in Dragon King Terrace, there were more than 30 of them.

Now there are only nine people standing in the square in front of the underground palace.

Jin An, old Taoist, sharpening the sword.

Three eminent monks of the White Dragon Temple.

Crying and mourning two brothers.

Captain, country goddess.

Although I didn't see anyone else along the way, I guess it was more than lucky.

Smack.

Smack.

The crisp footsteps of people slowly knocked on the underground palace that had been silent for thousands of years, a few torches dispelled the darkness, and the nine people stood up and looked up at the magnificent underground palace in front of them.

"It's magnificent. ”

"In this dungeon, just deduct a piece of leftover material and move bricks, it's enough for me to build six or seven coffins, such a big dungeon, how many coffins are worth it, tsk. ”

The old Taoist's heart is really big, and he said without taboos.

On the square of the underground palace, there are several rows of terracotta warriors.

The surface of these terracotta warriors is covered with a thick layer of dust, with a sense of history.

I don't know if it's because of the serious oxidation of the pigments, or because of the limitations of the times, limited to the backward technology of the terracotta warriors in the past, the surface of these terracotta warriors is tinged with a blue color.

With a cold texture and glow.

It's weird.

A group of nine people held torches and walked past the rows of terracotta warriors in the dim light of the limited lighting.

The torches can only illuminate the left and right of the sky, and a little farther away, only pitch black remains, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you can't see your fingers.

Under the gaze of the life-carved cold terracotta warriors, the footsteps of the nine people echoed through the square in the air.

"Jin Engong, old woman, I noticed that each of the facial features of these terracotta warriors is different, and each terracotta warrior is a facial ......."

The country goddess quietly walked behind Jin An and reminded him softly.

I don't know when, the clay pot containing the ashes of a century-old corpse and the soil of the grave has been carried by the country goddess in her hands.

Well?

Everyone didn't pay attention to it so carefully at first, but after being reminded by the country goddess at this time, on the next road, they paid special attention to the facial features of those terracotta warriors, and it turned out that none of these terracotta warriors had any duplicates.

"Generally speaking, like some princes and generals, there are often terracotta warriors and horses burial pits in the mausoleums, and these terracotta warriors and horses are soldiers who led troops to fight during their lifetimes. There are so many terracotta warriors in the mausoleum of the lord of Tengguo, and each of them has different facial features, could it be that these terracotta warriors are carved according to the most elite guards that the lord of Tengguo mastered during his lifetime? After his death, the lord of Tengguo asked craftsmen to carve the facial features of these soldiers on the terracotta warriors according to the portrait of the facial features of each soldier, and after his death, the most elite guards will continue to guard the mausoleum for him?"

The old Taoist priest really had a big heart, he held a torch, and every time he passed a terracotta warrior, he had to take the torch to shine on the face of the terracotta warrior.

In the flickering light of the torches, the facial features of every terracotta warrior in this square seem to be distorted and changing, following the firelight in the cloudy and uncertain.

The lifelike facial features, how to look at them, how treacherous, are like the shadows of fire reflected in the clay eyeballs, and the eyeballs are moving with the torch firelight.

"Little brother, you said that there are so many terracotta warriors in the square, and the facial features of each terracotta warrior are different, are these terracotta warriors buried alive? Or are they terracotta figurines fired by craftsmen and then carved according to the portrait of the army?"

The old Taoist priest was amazed that the firing skills of these terracotta warriors were really amazing.

There are leaders in every industry.

The one who holds the bull's ear.

Jin An looked at the old Taoist priest speechlessly, thinking that this old Taoist was also big-hearted, so he was not afraid that these terracotta warriors would suddenly blink at him.

"It shouldn't be a living burial. Jin An shrugged and said.

The old Taoist priest withdrew his eyes that had been staring at the terracotta warriors, turned his head to look at Jin An in surprise, and asked, "Little brother, how can you see that?"

Before Jin An could answer, General Du Wei raised his hand and pointed to the front at this time: "Daoist Jin An should have seen those broken terracotta warriors, so he said so." ”

Everyone looked in the direction of the captain's finger.

Several broken terracotta warriors appeared at the front of the line.

One of the terracotta warriors was broken by someone at the waist, and the upper body was shattered to the ground, turning into smashes, revealing a hollow body, and the fracture was made of clay.

In addition to this terracotta warrior, there is also a terracotta warrior whose head has been smashed off, a terracotta warrior with Ge's right arm and half of his face broken, and the bronze Ge falling to the ground.

And a lot of dust fell on the bronze ge.

It looks like these terracotta warriors have been shattered for years, and it wasn't the Ferrymen of the underworld or the rest of their group that went in first.

And the fractures of these terracotta warriors are all exposed clay materials, and the bodies are hollow.

"The human dragon corpse that was cruelly sealed alive in the bronze tripod by the lord of Teng country, left Teng Wen on the ding wall, mentioning that the lord of Teng country found a way to come back from the dead, and there is a dragon pool in the real mausoleum, and the dragon pool is the key to the resurrection of the lord of Teng country. After the death of the lord of Tengguo, there are still so many terracotta warriors, could it be that he really believes that he can come back from the dead, and then lead the former commander to descend, leave Huangquan Road together, and return to the yang world from the underworld?" Even the abbot of Bailong Temple looked at the terracotta warriors in the square curiously.

These green pottery terracotta warriors stood still on the square, although the atmosphere was rendered a little terrifying, but they only looked a little weird, Jin An and they passed through the square smoothly, and arrived in front of the underground palace all the way without incident.

Smack.

Smack.

......

The nine people stepped on the steps, climbed the stairs, and the footsteps were particularly loud in the empty and quiet ancient tomb, and it was heard far away.

The door of the underground palace has been opened, and there are many messy traces left in front of the door, and there are a large number of potholes on the bluestone floor, which is not even at all.

There was even an area with scorched black marks that had clearly been burned by the fire, and the area was so large that it was about to spread into the square.

"It looks like it was corroded by the regal water, it should be that when the first group of people entered the underground palace, they triggered the mechanism used to guard the tomb. ”

"There should be more than aqua regia in this tomb, there should be fire oil, all of which are used to guard against tomb robbers. ”

Du Wei just glanced at the ground under his feet with a calm attitude, and no longer continued to pay attention to his feet, but looked up at the tomb door of the underground palace in front of him.

When I watched it from a distance, I didn't think there was anything.

At this point, I got closer.

only to find out.

The tomb gate of this underground palace is actually a huge iron gate that rises in place.

The iron gate is heavy, extremely thick, black and secluded, like a dark majestic mountain hanging overhead, which wants to press people, I am afraid that it is no different from the top of Mount Tai.

No matter how hard the beef bone is, it must be crushed directly.

It was crushed into flesh and blood.

"Brother, this tomb gate is actually an iron gate, such a heavy iron gate, to say the least, there are hundreds of thousands of catties. As soon as the iron gate fell, the people outside didn't want to open it from the outside, which was equivalent to completely sealing the underground palace, and they couldn't blow it up with explosives......"

"But this doesn't make sense, isn't this Teng country lord going to borrow the dragon in the dragon pool to ascend to heaven, resurrect from Huangquan Road, and return to the yang world, he has sealed himself in the underground palace, and the dragon king has become the eighth king in the urn, how can he come out? Isn't this a contradiction?"

Holding a mourning stick, the black-robed younger brother in the mourning man said to the eldest brother next to him in surprise.

The white-robed elder brother who was holding a soul-beating stick was asked by his younger brother who had a lot of questions, but fortunately, at this time, Jin An helped the eldest brother to relieve the siege and save his prestige as the eldest brother.

Jin An looked at the iron gate and said, "This iron gate should be sealed from the inside, and it can't be opened from the outside, but it can be opened from the inside." ”

"There should be a set of complex tricks in this underground palace to raise the iron gate, and the most commonly used tricks of this kind of tricks should be waterwheel mills, pedal waterwheels, etc. ”

"There was a big river on the way we just came, and those craftsmen should have built a water diversion culvert under the underground palace, which led the river water to drive a windmill, and then used the windmill to drive a set of mechanisms such as pulleys, pulleys, and winches. It's the same principle as the city gate, but the city gate in the yang world is guarded by a living person, and only a person needs to cooperate with the winch, but here is only the grave of the dead who will not move in the coffin, so this winch needs to be driven by water diversion. ”

Jin An's detailed explanation admired the crying brothers so much.

"Daoist Jin An, I didn't expect you to know the mechanism skills of these Qimen Dunjia and Wooden Ox Flowing Horses. ”

Not to mention the crying and mourning brothers, they admired Jin An, and even the general Du Wei and the abbot of the White Dragon Temple all looked at Jin An in surprise.

Seeing that Jin Engong knew everything, he was shocked, and even the eyes of the country goddess looking at Jin An were even more respectful.

"Old Dao, I finally understand!" said the old Taoist priest with a sudden startled joy.

"According to what the little brother said, maybe we can look around, maybe we can really find a robbery hole, those tomb robbers should enter the underground palace through the underground waterway, and then open the underground palace from the inside!"

The old Taoist priest made a lot of sense.

But now there is no need to leave the door and find an ethereal thief hole in such a large open place.

Next, the nine began to enter the dungeon cautiously.

When passing under the iron gate, everyone couldn't help but look up at the heavy iron gate overhead, which was full of oppression.

"It's so fucking thick, if you accidentally fall down, you will definitely be crushed to pieces, and the shovel can't be shoveled. ”

The old Taoist priest looked up at the dark thick iron gate, shrunk his neck, and hurried through.

Jin An: "......"

"Lao Dao closes the mouth of your crow of the thirteenth zodiac sign. ”

The old Taoist priest saw that everyone turned their heads to look at him at this time, and he also knew that his mouth was too fast just now, so he accidentally said something unsuitable for the occasion, and hurriedly hugged his fists at everyone, and then closed his mouth honestly.

......

When entering the dungeon, Jin An was slightly stunned after seeing the scene in the dungeon with the help of the faint lighting of the torch in his hand.

He saw a scene that surprised him.

At this time, the old Taoist priest who entered the underground palace was also stunned, and then shouted in a low voice: "Mother, little brother is evil!"

Then the country goddess was also stunned when she came in.

The crying brother was also stunned.

Everyone entered the dungeon one after another, and they were all stunned by the scene in front of them, and then a chill surged in their hearts, and they were all mad at this moment.

It's an evil door in this dungeon!

Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them!

There are everlasting lights in the dungeon, although they are not as exaggerated as daylight, but they also let Jin An and them take in the scenes in the dungeon.

The dungeon is not like it looks like it is carved from cold stone on the outside, but carved beams and painted buildings, golden and jade columns, a large number of precious giant trees are used in the dungeon, inlaid with gold and jade, this magnificence does not lose the magnificent atmosphere of the palace at all, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the Dragon Palace.

But it wasn't these things that made the old Taoist priests feel mad.

It's the motionless figures......

At this time, in the underground palace, there are many figures, those people, are all green pottery figurines, these green pottery figurines have men and women, old and young, guards, palace maids, eunuchs and fathers-in-law, and there are civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty......

The faces of the people are carved to life by craftsmen, each representing their status in front of them.

But they are all terracotta figurines.

There are eunuchs who carefully serve the officials, there are palace maids dressed in thin gauze or half-squatting or kneeling down to pour wine for people, there are civil officials pushing cups and changing glasses, holding wine glasses in the air and not moving, there are military attachés discussing military affairs in front of the map, there are poets chanting poems, and there are astrological divination......

These terracotta figurines made all the people who performed their duties under the rule of a small country into terracotta figurines, and continued to enjoy the glory and wealth of his life underground.

"Under the Yinyi River, there is indeed a dragon palace, which is a tomb, and it is clearly a dragon palace with all kinds of shrimp, soldiers and crabs. The more the old Taoist priest looked at it, the more surprised he became, and said to Jin An.

The old Taoist priest felt his scalp tingle at this time, and he was shocked by the scene in this tomb.

The interior of this dungeon is huge.

I went deep into the rocks of the mountain, and I couldn't see how far the end was......

After passing through the first nine people walked down the steps, carefully descending into the underground palace, carefully avoiding the still, terracotta figurines.

Although these terracotta figurines are all dead objects, it has long been confirmed that they are just terracotta figurines that burn paper.

But the number of terracotta figurines here is simply too many.

No matter who encounters so many terracotta figurines in the tomb, they are all carved as lifelike as a living person, and they will be more or less restrained.

It's not the fear of ghosts and gods.

It is that people need to maintain a certain awe and distance from the unknown.

Everyone followed the steps, went down into the underground palace and did not walk a few steps away, on the ground of white marble, saw a thief hole, the thief hole was pitch black, but there was the sound of living water flowing.

"Little brother, it seems that I was really right by the old way, and sure enough, the earliest group of people entered the cave through the thief hole. ”

The old Taoist priest muttered to Jin An in a low voice.
