In the empty cave, two rows of bronze figurines stand silently, close to the stone wall inside, a huge bronze table is placed on a foot-high stone platform, and a long-bearded military general sits behind it. The reason why the www.biquge.info recognized the generals at a glance was because the placement of the cave was too familiar, just like the county lord's tent carefully prepared for Mei Ying.

Gao Yuan stopped at the door of the cave, swept through the two rows of bronze figurines one by one, there were eighteen on each side, men and women, young and old, tall and fat were different, under the dim light of the pearl on the top of the cave, it could be vaguely seen that the closer to the stone platform armor, the more courageous, the two bronze figurines on the left and right, the phoenix wing helmet was molded with two three-foot long hats facing backwards, but unlike other bronze figurines, the side faces could be seen, and the two statues seemed to be half-sideways to talk to the main general on the stone platform.

There are many organs along the way, there are more or less bones of predecessors at every bend, the end of the cave has reached the depths of the mountain, behind the open stone door, there are no coffins and burial goods, but it is like a scout who has been away from the camp for a long time, and his identity has undergone layers of inspection and review, and he can finally enter the handsome account, the tall and majestic bronze general figurines do not even bother to look at it.

Yeluqi's eyes were full of tears, and he walked to the stone platform by himself, more than ten years, and finally returned to his hometown again, Gao Yuan did not ask, and he never revealed to anyone, all of them were killed in an accident here, including his father and two uncles and four or five cousins, the youngest Yeluqi was left outside the cave, and luckily did not let him be sealed into the stone wall to rob the cave, but he was also frightened, and he was not able to break the wall to rescue his father and brother, and the Yelu family has been in a state of collapse since then, and has to rely on the tribal chief.

In order to pick up the bones of his father and brother, explore the details of the victim's tomb, Yeluqi has been thinking about a strategy to break the wall for more than ten years, the mountain stone inside is soft, and it is very easy to excavate with flint, but the outside is more than a dozen hard stone layers, relying on his own strength, no matter how he can not dig out the passage, he once wanted to wait for his brother to win the trust to obtain military power, and then take people back to his hometown to find out, but who knew that he died in vain for a hundred refining short knives, Yeluqi died in vain in the battle array, Yeluqi was in a trance at the moment when he learned of his death, all hopes were dashed, and he became a prisoner in a trance, why not let others know, if you can break through the stone wall, you will not lose the soul of your father and brother.

Most of the captives held together were slaves, and when they heard Yeluch's nonsense, they thought that they had frightened the bloody slaughter of the two armies, and the well-wishers also persuaded a few words, and more people hid further, and his only brother who was a little powerful died in vain, so there was no need to deliberately curry favor with the little furnace maker, so as not to let the chief know and become suspicious.

Gao Yuan's detention made Yeluqi see an opportunity, although his brother did not die in his hands, but the knife was actually the root cause of trouble, there is this relationship, he will feel a little guilty, maybe he will really lead the troops to help, and so on confirmed the idea of learning soldiers to build a city and hold on, Yeluqi is more sure, for many years day and night worry, did not find an effective way to delay the solidification of the rock, but inadvertently made up the stone to burn into powder, when it met the water, it quickly solidified into a block, and its hardness was almost the same as the stone.

Yeluch named the lime found by chance cement, very clear that if the firing method is passed out, the government builds cities and private houses, in the vast majority of occasions, cement is afraid to replace the expensive and inconvenient stone to transport, a wide range of uses will bring unlimited business opportunities, financial resources will roll in, but he never dared to easily reveal the wind, the formula is not complicated, the firing is simpler, you can learn it by looking at it a few times, who will care who finds it when the news spreads, and the first buyer is not impossible to kill people in order to obtain huge profits. The safest way is to sell it to the Qinghui Empire, which is particularly important for the army that relies on the strong city to adopt a strategic defensive posture, and the formula is bound to be difficult to keep secret for a long time, and the Dugu royal family will not unload the mill and kill the donkey.

The question is who will believe him? Even if he realizes the preciousness of cement in front of the facts, who has the ability to pass the news directly to the core of the Dugu royal family? Choosing to believe in Gao Yuan is the only feasible solution. What if you don't believe it, Yeluqi knows that if he leaks the cave and the formula, Takagaki will never return his free body, instead of being a prisoner and keeping him in secret, why not give it a fight, follow him when he needs it most, and offer the most urgently needed materials for building the city, and maybe he will do something in the future.

Glancing at the image of thousands of horses galloping on the bluestone wall, Yeluqi went around, knelt down with a bang more than ten zhang away on the left side, the three-foot-wide and narrow thief hole, how many times appeared in the dream, the secret mark left at the entrance of the cave when he left was intact, it seems that no one has come to disturb, and no one has found the ancient tomb behind the hanging coffin.

Yeluqi knelt down to his father and brother, and explained without looking back: "The pattern on the stone wall hides a secret door, you can try it with a knife, it is cast in bronze, and it is almost impossible to break it by brute force." At that time, my father used to say that this was a death trap, and when the door was closed, the top door stone would slide from above, and the door would be completely sealed from the inside. ”、

"Alas, digging ancient tombs, I have always hated before, and now I have no face to judge. Yeluqi, after many years of the incident, you can look at it, and when you break through the stone wall and find the bones, no matter whether the cement is effective or not, I will help you bury the old man. Seeing that Yeluqi knelt in front of the cave and did not react, Gao Yuan put away his curiosity and continued to convince: "I am a samurai, I will join the army in the future, and I am very likely to die on the battlefield. ”

"You probably have been wondering, why don't there be poisonous snakes and mosquitoes in the cave, there seems to be wind, we have walked back and forth for more than ten miles, there is no dull feeling at all, the cave room in the belly of the mountain does not look like an ancient tomb?"

The top of the cave is inlaid with a few pearls every other section, on the bluestone pavement at the foot, sprinkled one after another soft light clusters, so that the cave does not appear completely dark, walking through the murals on the stone wall, hazy and hazy like a deep illusion, if it is not for the hidden weapon mechanism arranged at the bend, several skeletons obviously died under it, the swallow wind wants to cheer and shout, it is definitely a good place to have a tryst with a lover, and the fear has been thrown out of the clouds, and the evil taste is not to guess, and the sister-in-law and Gao Yuan should not stay here in the future.

"Yeluch, how do I think this doesn't look like an ancient tomb! There is wind and fresh air in the cave, who would put the corpse and the funerary goods in it, it will be weathered into powder for a long time. Also, if you look closely at these bronze figurines, they are poured directly on the bluestone floor, and I guess they should be directly cast in the cave, so this place is taller and more spacious than the previous corner. ”

Chang Yunfei didn't talk much but observed carefully enough, there is wind and no poisonous insects in the cave, just have this result, as for the reason, there is no need to go into detail, the top priority is to confirm whether the bronze figurines are in danger, when Gao Yuan approached to comfort Yeluqi, he began to inspect the thirty-six bronze figurines, and soon found that there was a mystery in them, the feet of the bronze figurines and the bluestone floor are integrated, and the three-foot wide and narrow ground next to the feet is all bronze pouring, it is unlikely that the copper water will be transported into the mountain.

"It took us a long time to figure out the secret of the bronze figurines, but you can see it at a glance. "Yeluqi was relieved from his grief, Gao Yuan's persuasion was not good, it was indeed a matter of facts, the warrior broke his gold armor in a hundred battles, drunk and died on the battlefield with a smile, and it was not the best fate to die as a matter of course, and the tomb robber died in the tomb mechanism, which can only be said to have his own providence in the dark.

"There are ventilation ducts hidden behind the mural, and air holes are scattered in the pattern, and if you stand in front of the mural for a long time, you will notice a majestic wind blowing on your face. My father had speculated that the ventilation duct behind the mural was connected to the hanging coffin caves on the cliff. ”

Before Yeluqi finished speaking, the three of Gao Yuan all nervously held the knife, and the hanging coffin cave communicated, then this cave is not a nest of poisonous snakes, and then felt even more strange, did not see a poisonous snake along the way, could it be that the gap in the mural is not big enough, the poisonous snake can't climb in, think about it, it's not right, you can detect the wind blowing, the gap is enough for the small snake to pass, and they all open the anti-snake potion bottle just in case.

"The semi-circular caves carved out of the cliffs are mainly used to bring the mountain wind to the gaps in the hanging coffins, so that the wind can blow into the belly of the mountain one after another. Hundreds of ventilation ducts stretch into the belly of the mountain for a few miles, and it is estimated that they are large enough for people to crawl, which has virtually become an obvious flaw in the ancient tomb's anti-theft, but it is also the most dangerous passage. ”

Yeluch struck the mural with an iron rod, making a crisp metal collision sound, Gao Yuan listened carefully, the knocking sound did not feel hollow, it seems that the mural is not a thin layer, even if the tomb robbers climb into the ventilation tunnel, the narrow passage cannot be used in actual combat, but there is no thick bronze barrier. What's more, in the passage, you can't guard against the three-step inverted poisonous snake.

"The ancient tomb is the lowest position on the cliff, the ventilation channel behind the hanging coffin must be passed, there must be a shaft, if the digging is deep enough, there is no need to arrange any mechanism, the poisonous snake falls down even if it does not die, and it cannot climb the smooth stone wall, so there is no need to worry at all, the poisonous snake is definitely deliberately stocked in the cliff cave back then, that is, to prevent someone from opening the ventilation channel, there must be other anti-theft means. ”

"The poisonous snake that fell from the cliff should land right on the sarcophagus at the entrance of the cave, and if it does not die, it will not multiply in a herd over time. Chang Yunfei thought of another possibility, it didn't happen before, it doesn't mean that there will be no chance in the future, Yeluqi laughed dumbly after thinking about it: "The semicircular cave is sunken into the cliff, the sarcophagus seems to be hanging alone, but in fact it is a few feet lower than the surface of the cliff, it is possible for the poisonous snake to fall, how can it turn and fall towards the sarcophagus in mid-air." ”

"Don't forget the strong mountain winds, if the snake falls and the wind blows, it will be enough to sweep the snake over. ”

Chang Yunfei still didn't completely dispel his worries, several people thought it was possible, Yeluqi sighed, looked at Chang Yunfei and said approvingly: "Do you remember which senior at the entrance of the cave arranged the Seven Stars Alignment? I once said that he did not poison the copper array, it was to leave a glimmer of life for those with great perseverance, it was not a good fate, if the poisonous snake really had such a bad luck against the sky, why not leave a section of the cave to it, hehe, there are stone gates and mechanisms at the thirty-six bends, and poisonous snakes cannot penetrate into the depths of the ancient tomb." ”

"Jerich, I really can't imagine that the cave can be ventilated, and as for the poisonous snakes, we don't plan to make a home here. Gao Yuan interrupted the conversation between the two, and it was not the time to discuss the long-term benefits in front of him, he looked at Yeluqi and ordered seriously: "I will order the inspection team to help you pick up the bones of the old man, but I will not help to dig up the ancient tomb, the most important thing now is to verify the discovery, really want to explore the ancient tomb, and when the battle is won, you go to tell Yan Ning, she is the master of the grassland, and the new owner of the ancient village, whether to excavate it or not is up to her to decide."
