Chapter 381: Twelve Earthly Branches

"Diary, there is!" Lin Yicheng reacted in the shortest possible time and gave an affirmative answer. He's a smart guy. Since I know his relationship with Lao Li, I may naturally know that he has a diary in his hand that records the internal situation of the imperial tomb. Since I can't hide it, it's better to admit it directly, and it can leave a good impression on me.

"Section Chief Yu, take a look. Lin Yicheng said, walked to the desk, opened the drawer, and took out a diary with a black cowhide cover.

"This was originally brought out by my brother-in-law from the imperial mausoleum. Lin Yicheng handed over the diary, which had been polished out of cowhide.

I took it casually, and I wondered in my heart, it stands to reason that such an important thing should not be casually put in his drawer, but judging from the damage of the cowhide and the yellowed paper of the diary, this thing should be a product of the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

I flipped through the diary casually, and suddenly frowned when I flipped it, the diary was written in a special text, the text was bent and teasing, looking like a group of black tadpoles, I used to live in the Northern and Southern Dynasties period, and I knew a lot about all kinds of words, but I had never seen this kind of text. frowned and pondered for a moment, and finally remembered that Lao Li had told me and King Kong Cannon back then that the diary was written in their Lin family's original code language, and outsiders couldn't understand it at all.

"Mr. Lin, what's written on this?" I flipped through the pages of my diary.

"Our Lin family's unique code words, but unfortunately I can't decipher them anymore. Lin Yicheng twitched his nose. "Not long after I was born, my father and two uncles had an accident, and I found this diary while sorting through my grandfather's belongings. ”

"You don't know what is written in this?" I looked at Lin Yicheng with a side eyebrow. This guy lied and even blinked his eyelids.

"I don't know. Lin Yicheng shook his head and denied it.

"It's a shame. I put down the diary as I spoke, it was not thick, I had already flipped through it page by page. Although I don't know this kind of writing, I can confirm that the diary was later forged.

There is a reason why I think so, according to Lao Li's account back then, Lin Yicheng took a page of paper torn from the diary and begged him to tell him the location of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, but although the pages of this diary are worn out, they are not missing, which shows that this book is not the one that Lao Li brought out of the imperial tomb back then, that is to say, Lin Yicheng is lying to me. As for his motive for deceiving me, it was nothing more than that I would leave him alone in the grave if I did not keep my promise, he was a smart man and knew how to fight for the greatest bargaining chips for himself.

"Mr. Lin, I don't like intrigue, I'll tell you the truth, I know that your diary is a fake, and I also know that you want me to take it and let your aunt interpret it so that you can turn around and mislead me," I looked at Lin Yicheng with a smile, "But I don't blame you, you have your difficulties, and I won't ask now, but I can assure you of one thing, that is, I will do my best to protect your safety after entering the imperial tomb, as for whether we can come out alive, then I can't say for sure." ”

"Since Section Chief Yu is talking to me, I won't hide it from you, my father's diary did record some of the situation inside the imperial tomb, but they only entered the third level back then. Lin Yicheng reciprocated and said part of the situation.

"Did they break three traps?" I asked, frowning.

"Someone had already gone in before they went in, and someone else had broken those three levels. Lin Yicheng shook his head and said. In his words, he deliberately emphasized that it was a level rather than a mechanism, which shows that the three levels are not three simple mechanisms, and it is very likely that each level is composed of several mechanisms.

"Who are those people?" I frowned.

"I don't know, the diary only says that nine bones and a lead box were found in the fourth level, and does not state their identities. Lin Yicheng's breath was unusually stable at the moment, which showed that he was not lying.

"Lead box?" I couldn't help but exclaim.

Lin Yicheng nodded suspiciously, and his eyes were full of inquiry when he looked at me.

"Did the bones be found in the previous three checkpoints?" I ignored Lin Yicheng's inquiry, and hurriedly spoke to further confirm. According to Huang Mei Zhenren, the anti-heaven artifact in the ancient city of Kunlun Mountain Purple Qi is wrapped in a lead box, you must know that lead is a very rare metal during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, only the dignitaries will use lead containers to hold items, people at that time did not know that lead is actually poisonous, but the psychology of scarcity is expensive, but this is enough to show the scarcity of lead, so I suspect that this lead box is likely to be the other lead box.

"There should be, the original words in my father's diary are, 'See a few broken bones'. Lin Yicheng recalled for a moment and replied. I promised to take him to the tomb and keep him safe, and in exchange for a lot of truth. In fact, Lin Yicheng is not a bad person, he is just a businessman, and the nature of a businessman is to exchange differences, but in this current situation, he can't make any difference, that is, an equivalent exchange.

Lin Yicheng's words confirmed my guess, those people who died in the ancient tomb of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang should be the twelve disciples of the sect who used the Twelve Earth Demons to kill the people of the Three Sects to steal the anti-heaven artifact, according to Lin Yicheng's account, they entered the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang after stealing the anti-heaven artifact, and I don't know the motive for them to enter the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang with the anti-heaven artifact, but I have already guessed the method of their breaking the formation.

Nine of the twelve sectarian disciples were trapped and died in the fourth level, and the first three levels all had a number of broken bones, which shows that the twelve disciples back then were likely to use the suicide method of scattering power and self-detonation to break the formation, which means that a purple qi master would be sacrificed after passing a level.

Thinking of this instantly made me break out in a cold sweat, what kind of domineering level can force the purple qi master to break the formation, and the scattered power will explode by itself, and the remaining nine disciples are all trapped and killed in the fourth level, which shows that there is likely to be a mechanism to contain spells in that level, and the level that none of their twelve purple qi masters can break through, it is even more difficult for me and the King Kong Cannon to break it.

Lin Yicheng saw that my brows were tightly locked, and he asked suspiciously, in exchange, I briefly told him about the changes in the four sects back then, and Lin Yicheng was shocked and trembled after hearing it.

"Section Chief Yu, are you sure?" Lin Yicheng's voice trembled.

"If there's just one left, I can try it. "I don't want him to lose faith, but I don't have faith myself.

"It should be more than that, the first three levels have found huge animal bones in addition to the mechanism, according to my father's observation, the beast bones left in the second level look like cattle with horns, so I guess there may be twelve levels of the level, corresponding to the twelve earth branches. Lin Yicheng also has his own thinking, and his reasoning and judgment are reasonable and well-founded.

"Twelve?" I instantly felt the world spinning, there were twelve of them, how could I break it.

"Section Chief Yu, are you sure?" Lin Yicheng asked eagerly.

"Are you asking about the certainty of sending you to death or the certainty of breaking the formation?"
