Chapter 218 Yin Yang Road
"As the saying goes, the older you get, the crueler your heart becomes. Now it seems that this old saying has some truth." Wang Kaixuan took a breath and felt goosebumps coming out. .
Hu Bayi also sighed with emotion: "Indeed, this old man has taught me a lesson. He was able to turn his back on the guests after being trapped and make such a cruel move according to local conditions. It's really incredible. It’s so simple!”
Chen Ziyan and Ding Sitian made it so clear that if they couldn’t figure out what was going on, their brains would be in vain.
Hu Bayi, in particular, relied on these to reconstruct the outline of the movement of the captain who touched the gold.
After summarizing his thoughts, he said: "I think the senior who built the Fish Bone Temple, after successfully getting rid of the ghost tomb blocking the road here, encountered some difficult situations to deal with. At that time, he did not successfully escape. That’s why he used the Ghost Tomb to set up this game.”
“Once he really has an accident, if the people who come after him are from the same sect, they will not only be able to enter the tomb smoothly, but they will also be able to use it. Get some benefits.”
“If the visitor is not a gold captain, the medicine will become a sacrifice in the ghost grave, thus completely transforming this place into a destructive place.”
But after he finished speaking, new doubts came to Hu Bayi's mind.
Since this senior had cracked the Ghost Tomb at that time, what stopped him from leaving here?
Judging from the degree of concealment of the agency, the senior at that time no longer had the previous urgency when setting it up, and he obviously took the initiative to do it.
Hu Bayi couldn't figure out what kind of thing would make the other party resolutely do it even though he knew that something unexpected would happen.
This series of questions kept turning over in his mind, making his head feel dizzy.
Chen Ziyan had calmed down at this time. After hearing Hu Bayi's inference, he was about to speak when he saw the confusion on his face and asked: "Old Hu, what's the matter? Is there a problem?”
His attention was attracted by the human sacrifice just now, and he didn’t think too deeply about it, so he didn’t know what Hu Bayi was thinking.
Upon hearing Chen Ziyan's inquiry, Hu Bayi did not hide his thoughts and directly expressed all his doubts.
With no clue at all, he needs some outside help.
After hearing these questions from Hu Bayi, Chen Ziyan also frowned slightly.
He is also curious now about what caused Jin Abacus to do all this.
Unlike Hu Bayi, who only had the information in front of him, Chen Ziyan had some knowledge of what had happened here, and also knew something about Jin Abacus.
Therefore, it is reasonable to guess that the illusion mechanism with other mysteries that they encountered was not left to some of his later classmates, but was a final gift that he specially left to his disciples.
Although Ding Sitian seems to have figured out the secret medicine, Chen Ziyan has always been doubtful about it and feels that it is not as simple as it seems.
It’s just that he knows very little about this aspect. It’s okay to follow the instructions on weekdays, but if he studies in depth, his eyesight will be darkened.
At this moment, Shirley Yang suddenly asked: "I wonder if you have heard the rumors about the crossroads?"
Shirley Yang's focus and others It was different. After seeing this crossroads made up of robber holes, she began to wonder why the other party had made the robber holes so neatly.
This is very unusual.
It can be seen from the position of the hole on the left and right sides that this is a specially selected position, not a random dig.
However, the messiness of the excavation traces cannot be faked, which shows that the other party was in a hurry at that time, so there is some contradiction between the two.
Just now, Shirley Yang suddenly remembered a story that her grandfather once told her a long time ago.
A supernatural legend about a crossroads.
Chen Ziyan immediately understood what Shirley Yang meant and immediately said: "Yin Yang Road?"
Shirley Yang nodded and expressed his thoughts: "I suspect that this senior at that time was After being trapped in the Ghost Tomb, I wanted to create a simple yin-yang path to escape from both sides to get out of my predicament."
After finishing speaking, I may have felt that I didn't express myself clearly. She added: "Or to be more precise, after the first robbery failed, this senior came up with the idea of using the Yin and Yang Road."
Hu Bayi was impressed when he heard what she said. Some inspiration: "Is it possible that while trying the Yin-Yang Road, this senior discovered something that attracted him, and then changed his mind after the Ghost Tomb disappeared, and did not leave here."
Chen Ziyan thought for a moment and nodded lightly: "It's really not impossible. It has been rumored since ancient times that intersection areas like crossroads are areas where yin and yang are confused, and this is still a top Feng Shui treasure land that can breed ghost tombs. If it really is It’s not surprising that this senior accidentally discovered something.”
But what he didn't say was that if there really was a bronze door hidden here, it wouldn't be as simple as a Feng Shui treasure.
Take the bronze door in Changbai Mountain as an example. This kind of thing is located in an area where nothing will surprise anyone.
Wang Kaixuan was not interested in solving the mystery. He was bored by this, so he urged: "What's the use of pondering these things? Now that we know which way leads to the Hades Palace, we might as well Let’s go inside first.”
“I don’t know what you are thinking about. You are a typical drunk who doesn’t care about drinking. You want to go to Hades Palace so actively because you are thinking about what’s inside. Baby." Hu Bayi immediately exposed the fat man's little tricks.
"I wonder why you can't figure it out. If there really is some unknown danger waiting for us ahead, then no matter how many bright weapons we touch, we won't be able to take it back. If we can't get this treasure out of the tomb, , what’s the difference between that and the loess and bluestone in the ground?”
Wang Kaixuan retorted unhappily: "I am looking at the problem from a strategic development perspective, okay? Think about it, we have to say whether we are in danger or not, but the treasure in the Hades Palace is real, we Go and put it in your pocket first, then no matter whether you want to leave or stay, you can just pick up your feet and leave. Even if you step back ten thousand steps and say that you are really unlucky and encounter any danger, then there will be funeral objects. "< br>
“Yes, my words have led to such a lot of fallacies.” Hu Bayi waved his hand and said directly: “It doesn’t matter whether you are talking about flowers falling from the sky or golden lotuses emerging from the ground, anyway, today I have to figure this out, otherwise I will always feel uneasy."
Hu Bayi's purpose in trying to figure out the cause of the matter is simple. First, even such a powerful senior may be killed because of it. He had to deal with it carefully.
Secondly, curiosity is at play. It can be said that no one in this industry is not curious, and he is no exception.
Seeing the two people quarreling again, Chen Ziyan said aloud: "I think so, let's explore the robbery holes on both sides first to see if there are any clues inside, and if there are any If you haven’t found anything, go take a look in the Hades Palace first, maybe you can find some clues there.”
Although he still knew a little about what was going on here, he couldn't let Hu Ba waste all his time here.
But looking at the opponent's posture now, they really have an attitude of breaking the casserole and asking for the truth. In addition, although Shirley Yang and Ding Sitian did not speak, they were also curious about the mystery hidden here, so it would not be helpful to stop them rashly. It was suitable, so he came up with such a compromise.
Neither Hu Bayi nor Wang Kaixuan had any objections to Chen Ziyan's proposal, because they also thought it was a good way to resolve differences.
Hu Bayi said: "That's okay, then I'll go in and have a look."
Although everyone here except Wang Kaixuan, everyone else can enter the thieves on both sides. But the matter is what he advocates, so it is naturally the most appropriate thing for him to do.
Immediately, Hu Bayi found a rope and tied it around his waist, then entered the robbery hole on the left with a weapon and a flashlight.
Almost ten minutes later, Hu Bayi stared at a sweat coming out of it.
Seeing Hu Bayi's appearance, Wang Kaixuan immediately asked: "Old Hu, are you okay?"
"It's okay." Hu Bayi gasped and waved He waved his hand: "I'm fine, I'm just a little hot."
Then he told others that the place was getting narrower and narrower, and you even had to crawl forward in the last section. Except for the stone wall at the end, There is nothing else.
After saying this, Hu Bayi sighed with lingering fear: "Not to mention it is very narrow and difficult to walk in, and it also gives people a very depressing feeling. It feels like being buried alive. If it were a person with a fragile psychology, I'm afraid it will break my spirit." Wang Kaixuan glanced at him worriedly: "Are you going to go in with the other one?"
He felt that the same was true for the robbery hole on the right. With the same result, I deliberately advised Hu Bayi to stop.
Before Hu Bayi could answer, Ding Sitian next to her said, "I'll do this."
But as soon as she finished speaking, Hu Bayi waved his hand and refused: "I'll do it anyway." Let me do it, I’ve been there once and have experience.”
After he finished speaking, without giving Ding Sitian a chance to react, he wiped the sweat off his forehead, got up and got into the theft hole on the right side.
It’s still a gradually shrinking space, and it’s still the same stone wall blocking the end. Everything seems to be copied.
But a different situation occurred here at the stone wall. The thieves did not stop there, but dug upwards along the stone wall.
Obviously he wanted to bypass the stone wall and directly use the most strenuous straight line to create a passage to the ground.
Hu Bayi immediately came to the stone wall, raised his flashlight and looked towards the upward robbery hole.
But after just one glance, he withdrew his gaze in disappointment.
Because just a few meters above, there was a stone slab blocking the road. It was as if the area they were in was wrapped in a huge stone box and was completely trapped.
After Hu Bayi left here and told others about his findings, Shirley Yang said: "Now it seems that the robbery holes on both sides are what we thought. It is the product of a failed attempt. The senior probably discovered something through the crossroads."
She is now even more curious about whether this artificial crossroads can really blur the boundaries between yin and yang.
Chen Ziyan glanced at Shirley Yang, who was eager to conduct some experiments, and said softly: "Now that we have explored the robbery caves on both sides, should we continue walking?"
Things here have finally been dealt with, and he doesn't want this girl to try any more experiments and waste time.
And Chen Ziyan didn’t want to try this so-called crossroads at all.
If he remembered correctly, there were Yin soldiers inside the bronze door in Changbai Mountain. If some of them accidentally got out, they might not be able to handle it.
Although Chen Ziyan knew very well that the so-called Yin soldiers may not be the ones in the legend, but they were definitely not easy to get along with.
Hearing Chen Ziyan's words, Shirley Yang subconsciously glanced at the hole in front of her, but she didn't speak out the thoughts brewing in her heart.
This intersection leads to four directions in total, and now she already knows the situation in three directions, but she still knows nothing about the last one.
She felt that it might be more appropriate for her to take a trip first. Maybe she would be able to find what she wanted without even testing.
As for acting alone, Shirley Yang had never considered it.
The ancient tomb is extremely dangerous. This tomb didn't even reach the Hades Palace, but it encountered things like ghost tombs and illusion mechanisms. It's hard to imagine what unexpected dangers are hidden. She is a brain show He would only run out alone when he was teased.
Seeing that no one refuted, Chen Ziyan immediately returned the team to its original order. After a short rest, he started heading deeper again.
Tick-tock——
After walking for a certain distance in this bandit cave, the faint sound of water flow sounded.
Wang Kaixuan, the leader, reminded: "Please pay attention to your feet, there is probably a cave in front of us."
Others also heard the sound of water flow, and they all raised their spirits a bit. alert.
After continuing for dozens of steps, they came out of a breach and arrived at a long and narrow hole.
Standing in front of the exit of the Thief Cave, you can clearly see that there is a cave entrance directly opposite here that echoes from a distance.
Hu Bayi immediately understood what was going on. He pointed at the entrance of the cave and said, "It looks like we still have some way to go."
It seems that the robbers dug the hole here. , I encountered this kind of natural cave in the mountain, so I made use of it.
"I heard the sound of water flowing, and it seemed to be coming from the entrance of the cave. It seems that the cave is behind that." Wang Kaixuan said.
Others agree with his statement.
Of course, except Chen Ziyan who knows the situation here.
Chen Ziyan knew that the destination was right in front of him, so he said: "Let's go, let's walk the rest of the way, and then have a good rest when we get to the Hades Palace."
This second paragraph The Thief's Cave is much shorter, but after advancing for more than fifty meters, we encountered an upward slope.
Everyone who knows anything knows that this is a sign that they are about to reach the bottom of the tomb.
Sure enough, about ten meters up the slope, they saw a piece of blue bricks.
These green bricks are all of the Tang Dynasty style, and they are obviously the bricks used to lay the foundation of the tomb.
Hu Bayi took a flashlight to shine on the blue bricks and said: "It seems that we are at the right place. This kind of tomb bricks are only laid under the Hades Hall, and the rest of the ground and walls are covered with A big stone fixed with iron bars."
Wang Kaixuan asked in confusion: "Then why is it missing?"
Although he is a tomb robber... no, he is an archaeologist. , such a 'loophole' made it much more convenient for him, but it couldn't stop him from being eager to learn.
Hu Bayi did not say anything else at this time, but patiently explained: "This kind of place is called a virtual place. It is a must-have arrangement for the tomb. The location is always in the center of the Hades Hall. area.”
"However, since the Yuan Dynasty, this form of 'empty position' hiding the wind has changed greatly. The reason is that it is easy to be broken through from the outside. However, this tradition has not changed, and it was still retained until the Qing Dynasty. It’s just that it’s been modified to a very small size, only a few inches in size, so no one can get in.”
“But even if there are such flaws, generally speaking, the sturdiness and luxurious scale of Tang tombs are unparalleled throughout history. They can all be counted. There are many huge stone gates below the tomb passage, and thick stone walls are built around them. They are beyond the description of being impregnable."
"And they are all on the empty position of the Tang tomb. There are more or less some mechanisms. These mechanisms may be quicksand, nests, or stone piles, or they may even drop flaps to completely seal the Hades Palace. They would rather destroy the empty space where wind and energy are stored than to The grave robbers were able to make the buried artifacts cheaper."
Wang Kaixuan was half-comprehensive, and finally said with emotion, "Then we really have to thank that senior for helping us destroy this trap. It's really saving money. A lot of things have happened.”
Hearing him say this, Hu Bayi also felt a little happy on his face.
The advantages of this forerunner, despite some setbacks, were still picked up by them.
If it weren't for that senior, the traps here would probably have stopped them for a long time.
If the mechanism were more powerful, he might get injured or something.
