Chapter 495: Delayed
The entrance to the tunnel is only the size of a wellhead. It is also the thickness of a normal person's hug, the edge is square, vertical downward, and bottomless.
"Do you want to go down and find out?" Murong Chaifeng leaned down and looked down.
"No, this is the outlet for balancing the breath between the two levels. I shook my head. This level is positive, while the level of Candle Nine Yin is negative, and excessively strong yang and yin energy will damage the feng shui of the imperial tomb, so the builders of the imperial tomb used this method to neutralize the breath generated by the two levels.
"Has anyone ever been here?" Murong Chaifeng squatted down and picked up a piece of bluestone and threw it into the tunnel, waiting for a long time and no sound came out, which showed that this tunnel was quite deep.
"Probably not, there are corpses guarding here, no one can enter, and the thieves are all round, and I haven't seen any squares. I said as I walked to the corner of the stone wall on the right.
On the right side of the stone wall there is a square stone platform, the thickness of which is only half a person high, and on it is placed a gold medal and a bundle of bamboo slips that are exactly the same as the edicts that appeared in the previous checkpoints.
I stepped forward and took the gold medal casually, the gold medal is rectangular, less than three inches wide, twenty centimeters long, engraved from top to bottom "Feng Che Hou" four ancient seals, Che Hou is the highest military rank in the Qin Dynasty army, similar to the current general, the seal is the meaning of the emperor's reward, this gold medal shows that my previous guess is correct, this corpse did once led this group of silver armor zombies to fight on the battlefield.
Put down the gold medal, and then open the bundle of bamboo slips, the bamboo slips also did not record the specific origin of this corpse, but only praised its military exploits and the initiative to enter the mausoleum to protect the tomb and other loyal and brave deeds, and gave its surviving 32 generations of direct descendants to "600 miles of fiefdom, 1,000 stones" treatment, and guaranteed that "thousands of years will not take its county, and it will not be reduced for thousands of years", which is a bit similar to the hereditary replacement of the iron hat prince of the Qing Dynasty.
"chiaki,. "I threw the bamboo slips in my hand back to the stone platform, the Qin Dynasty has only experienced three emperors in total, and it lasted only fifteen years.
Back at the place where everyone was resting, the King Kong Cannon had already dressed the two wounded mercenaries with glutinous rice, and the rest of the people were checking their weapons and sorting out their backpacks.
"Each of them reported the amount of ammunition. "After a long and tense fight, I finally had the opportunity to light a cigarette. The backpacks carried by the crowd were quite deflated, which indicated that the ammunition consumption was very serious.
The mercenaries each reported the amount of ammunition left, and the situation was much better than I expected, with an average of more than 300 rounds per person, which was just enough to load ten magazines. The pistol didn't carry much ammunition in the first place, and there was nothing left after the magazine was full.
There are still three mines left, and the TNT and grenades have been used up, leaving only two kilograms in my backpack, but I naturally won't tell everyone that I still have stock in my backpack, and I have to take precautions.
After a short break, I stood up and urged everyone to move forward, there were three reasons why I was so eager to enter the next level, one was that in the previous battle, everyone's fighting passion had been mobilized, and if the blood turned cold, morale would be low.
The second is that everyone has been more than 100 meters underground at this time, and staying in the dim environment for a long time makes everyone feel depressed, fortunately, the air is circulating, and breathing has not been hindered, but the temperature of this level is very high, and the temperature will directly affect people's emotions, and people are more likely to be irritable in a high temperature environment, which is another reason why I am in a hurry to act.
The last point is that the levels that have been passed before are not due south, north, west and east, that is to say, there is no sense of direction after everyone enters the level, some are just the concept of left and right, after people lose their sense of direction, the brain will subconsciously try to find the direction, if you can not find the specific direction will make the brain produce a series of negative reactions, dizziness, nausea, irritability, this situation will also invisibly weaken the combat effectiveness.
Everyone packed up and came to the stone gate of the eighth level, pinched their fingers, and found that the yin qi in this level did not seem to be evil, but extremely resentful.
"What to do?" asked King Kong Cannon with a spoken. Every time he came to the stone gate of the checkpoint, he would say this, and naturally he would ask how to open the door.
"Knock on the door. I muttered for a moment before I spoke. The ferocious and evil aura in this level is relatively light, and if I guess correctly, the cultivation of the tomb protection beast in this level should not be very high.
King Kong Cannon nodded in agreement, turned around and walked to the left side of the stone door and pressed the knocking brick.
After the green bricks were pressed, everyone began to concentrate on it, as the leader, several of us in the Daomen must stand proudly in the middle of the stone gate, to show that we are confident, and our hearts are true. If even us run to a hidden place and hide, then the mercenaries will be even more bottomless.
After a stick of incense, the stone door finally moved, with the dull sound of the stone door rubbing the ground, the stone door slowly opened from the inside out, and everyone immediately reached out to press the sword, loaded the gun, and was on guard.
With the gradual opening of the stone door, a bright yellow light shines out from within the level, the light is similar to sunlight and the light emitted by high-wattage light bulbs.
The bright light made the four of us involuntarily set up a purple qi barrier to resist the hidden weapons that might attack at any time, and it was impossible for the tomb guards in the level to go out to attack, and we only needed to set up a barrier to protect ourselves and the safety of others.
Although I don't know why there is such light in the level, I do know that there should not be such a bright light here, and that this light is warm, which means that it is not fluorescent.
Although the sudden appearance of the light caused a short blind spot in everyone's sight, the celestial vision of the peak of the purple qi still made me see the scene inside at the same time as the stone gate opened, and the first thing I saw was a young woman wearing palace clothes, with a graceful figure and a beautiful face, who found that it was impossible for humans to appear in the dusty imperial tomb for more than 2,000 years, so the first thing I observed was her breath to determine whether she was dead or alive, and whether she was transformed by an alternative.
In an instant, the Qi Observation Technique determined that the woman in front of her was a real person, and the breath on her head clearly indicated that she was an ordinary woman alive.
The posture of the four of them was frozen in the same movement at this moment, and the left hand pinched the trick, stunned.
The woman in the checkpoint was standing, and when she saw us, she also showed a look of astonishment, and her look of surprise made us even more stunned, and her astonishment indicated that she did not expect us to come. And she herself has no spiritual energy cultivation, how can an ordinary woman survive in the Imperial Tomb level for more than 2,000 years.
The first thought that came to my mind at this moment was that Qin Shi Huang had really found the elixir of life, and if that was the case, we wouldn't have to go through these levels.
The two sides stood still, no one moving, and time seemed to stand still.
In the end, it was the young woman in the checkpoint who opened her mouth first, because she had not spoken for a long time, her first voice was very vague, but I still clearly heard what she said was 'Wait, where did you come from?' The old saying has a lot of ambiguity, and her words can be understood in two ways today, one means what you are here for, and the other means where you come from.
As soon as she spoke, all eyes turned to me, waiting for me to make a decision.
"We, the people of the Lu country, do not come for sacrifices. I hesitated for a moment to tell the truth. If I say that I and King Kong Cannon are from Shandong, she will definitely not understand, in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, our location is the Lu State, Lu died in Chu, and Chu died in Qin.
The next scene was something none of us expected, after I finished speaking, the woman in the checkpoint actually hid her face with her sleeve and cried in grief, and ran towards us quickly, "Why is it so late?"
Her words translate to 'Why did you come here......?'
