Chapter 258 Entering the Tomb
Looking at the stars in the sky, Hu Bayi began to move slowly. After thinking over and over in his mind, he looked at the junction of this mountain peak and another mountain peak at his feet.
“Over there!”
After saying that, Hu Bayi took the lead and walked over.
The location he found is not close to here, but it is not difficult to see the whole picture clearly. There is a suitable place within a few steps.
Chen Ziyan and others followed Hu Bayi, and when they came to that place and looked down, they found that there was a long and narrow canyon between the two peaks. With the help of the flashlight light, they could see that there was a shallow stream at the lowest point. .
“This place should have been a river originally. The climate has been relatively dry in recent months, so now there is only this little water left.” Wang Kaixuan looked at the canyon below and expressed his guess. .
No one refutes his statement because everyone else has also come to this conclusion.
Although these people present are not professionals in this field, they can still restore it through terrain derivation.
"This place is quite steep. It's still night, so it's not easy to get down." Da Jinya looked at the terrain under his feet and said.
He couldn't tell for sure about other people, but it was definitely not easy for him to think about it. He still had this self-awareness.
“No need to go down.” Hu Bayi shook his head.
There is nothing they are looking for down here, all he needs is the stream that is nearly dry.
Looking along the direction of the stream, Hu Bayi pointed in the direction upstream and said: "We have to go upstream and find a place with enough water. This place is far from hiding the wind and accepting the water. "
By observing the celestial phenomena, Hu Bayi already has a rough position, but he still needs to confirm it based on the real terrain.
Everyone could hear the confidence in Hu Bayi's tone, and knowing that he must be sure, they all followed quietly.
This time we walked a bit far, and the environment was still in the mountains and forests at night, so we walked for nearly twenty minutes.
"Hey, why is there still an open space here?" When Hu Bayi stopped, Wang Kaixuan couldn't help but said aloud when he saw the scene in front of him.
At this time, they were in a jungle, but instead of being surrounded by dense trees, they were in front of a very abrupt open space.
The ground was covered with rotten leaves, but it was not a swamp, but solid ground.
When Hu Bayi heard what Wang Kaixuan said, he said: "The place we are looking for can't be special."
This is the location he deduced based on the astrology and water vein trends, and now this is a bit The unreasonable empty space just confirmed his deduction.
You must know that this is a mountainous area with dense trees. There is such an unreasonable place, which means there must be a problem below.
Otherwise, there is no reason for this situation to occur.
Chen Ziyan observed the area carefully and quickly thought of the answer.
If he guessed correctly, Hu Bayi's Tianxing Feng Shui technique had once again succeeded, and he might have directly found the core location of Qixing Lu Palace.
There are no trees in this area, which means that there is no intricate root system below. There are many reasons for the lack of root systems, but they boil down to those few factors. But not far away there is With dense forests, natural conditions can be excluded.
After excluding natural factors, the last possibility left is that there is an invisible plant occupying this area.
Other people would not have thought of this, but for Chen Ziyan, who had long known that there was a Hydra cypress below, he thought of the answer almost instantly.
Thinking of this, Chen Ziyan said: "Everyone will be more vigilant. There may be something down here."
Since he knew there was Hydra Cypress down there, he couldn't help but mention it.
Hearing this, Hu Bayi asked: "Master Chen, what do you know about this place?"
With previous experience as a foundation, Hu Bayi now felt that Chen Ziyan was very likely to You know something, especially since it was him who suggested coming here.
The Tianxin Stone is not an ordinary thing. If other people knew it was here, they would have packed it up and taken it away.
It can be inferred from this that Chen Ziyan is likely to have exclusive news.
"I don't know much, I just know that there is a big tomb here, and there may be a Tianxin Stone in the tomb." Chen Ziyan said.
He did not tell all the information he knew. Some things became harder to explain the more he told them. It would be better not to say anything at the beginning.
It would be more appropriate to wait until they find out on their own and then find reasons to find out and fill in the gaps.
After thinking about it, Chen Ziyan added: "By the way, there may be a strange tree here. Please pay attention when the time comes."
He thought about it and thought it would be better to give more It's better to have some information, otherwise errors may occur.
With so many people relying on him to take care of them, he couldn't take care of them.
"Strange tree? What strange tree?" Ding Sitian asked immediately.
She is the most sensitive to this aspect, after all, this is her job.
“Hydra Cypress, have you heard of it?” Chen Ziyan asked.
Ding Sitian frowned and thought for a moment, then shook her head: "I haven't heard of it."
Although she has seen many special species, she has never heard of this Hydra Cypress, but according to her years of experience, this thing should not be a benevolent species.
"A tree similar to a piranha, also called an 'octopus tree'. It will wrap its vines around nearby creatures and kill them." Chen Ziyan simply stated the information he knew. one time.
Later, he gave a reason for his remarks: "The Tianxin Stone can restrain this plant, and there is probably a tomb below, so I guess there is probably a Hydra Cypress here. "
"The Tianxin Stone can restrain the Hydra Cypress, but can it restrain other things?" After hearing what Chen Ziyan said, Da Jinya suddenly asked this question.
"I've never heard of that..." Chen Ziyan was halfway through his words, and immediately noticed something was wrong. He turned to look at Da Jinya next to him: "Lao Jin, what do you think?"
Because Tianxin Stone is a rare carving material, Chen Ziyan didn't think about it elsewhere. But now that he was reminded by Da Jinya, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
The person behind the scenes wants the Tianxin Stone, wouldn’t he want to use it to deal with Hydra Cypress?
Chen Ziyan even speculated that there might not be anyone behind the scenes at all, and the one who dealt with them was the Crescent Hotel.
Others don’t know, and he still doesn’t know, but Zhang Dafo Ye has started a Gutongjing project. It should be around the same time now, and it is very likely that he collected the Tianxin Stone for this purpose.
After all, the power of Hydra Cypress in the sand sea is far more powerful than that on land. It can be said to be able to launch attacks anytime and anywhere, and it is also the kind that is impossible to guard against.
Da Jinya touched his chin and smacked his lips: "If you think about it carefully, it might be a bit strange."
"I don't know what happened, but it just feels like a coincidence. It’s like rushing to work.”
Wang Kaixuan scratched his head and asked, “What kind of tricks are you two doing here?”
Hu Bayi understood a little bit and looked at it. Asked Chen Ziyan: "Master Chen, what are we going to do next?"
If they are really being plotted to this point, then it is not a good choice for them to continue.
Maybe it will get deeper and deeper, and in the end, it will be directly counted to death.
Chen Ziyan frowned. He was not sure about the context of this matter now. On the one hand, he felt that the problem should not be big, but he also felt that the matter was too coincidental.
Why did you rush so far!
You must know that many things cannot withstand scrutiny, especially in the current environment. "Continue!" After thinking for a while, Chen Ziyan decided not to think about it and find a place first.
Qixinglu Palace is not a place where anyone can come and leave whenever they want.
And there was one thing he wanted to do during his trip. Anyway, he had to go down to this tomb.
More importantly, the experimental subjects were scattered around on guard and did not send back any information.
This shows that there is no one else nearby except them, and also negates their idea from the side.
If someone really has a deliberate intention, how can he not be followed?
Chen Ziyan had already thought comprehensively, but what he didn't expect was that some people's way of tracking was not just staring at people, but directly blocking the entire area.
After receiving Chen Ziyan's words, Hu Bayi didn't think too much. He walked in the open space for a while, stood at a position, and then took out the engineer shovel and started the excavation operation.
Wang Kaixuan saw this and went over to help. The two of them were the people in charge of civil engineering in the team, and they were also the two with the best skills.
Although Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi are not proficient in the art of digging holes, they are already proficient, so they dug very deep without much effort.
touch——
As the engineer's shovel made the sound of gold and iron colliding, Hu Bayi immediately stopped Wang Kaixuan and signaled him not to continue digging.
This sound really startled him. If this was the glazed roof under their feet, then the two of them could be said to have gone through hell just now.
But what puzzled Hu Bayi was how could he touch the top of the tomb at such a shallow place?
He suspected that what he just encountered might be a rock or something like that.
But no matter what it is, he has to be careful to deal with it.
With this thought in his mind, Hu Bayi took out a brush from his pocket and began to clean the area where the sound had just been made.
After a few brushes, he saw a stone slab appearing in front of him.
Now the answer has been determined. What was dug was not a rock, but the top of the tomb.
When Wang Kaixuan saw this, he quickly asked: "Old Hu, have we found it?"
He felt that this was easier than the time at Yerengou.
Thinking of the time at Savage Ditch, Wang Kaixuan asked: "Old Hu, should we go around and dig some rammed earth layer on the edge?"
"No need." Hu Bayi shook his head. , said: "This is not the glazed top, it should be no problem to open it directly."
There is one thing he did not say, if this was the glazed top, the two of them would have finished playing just now.
Wang Kaixuan did not think of this. When he heard what Hu Bayi said, he shouted above his head: "Master Chen, come down quickly and find a place."
To prevent obstruction They were working, so Chen Ziyan and the others were waiting in a remote place and helping to move the excavated soil farther away.
At this time, hearing Wang Kaixuan's voice, they all came to the entrance of the cave and looked down.
Chen Ziyan asked: "Did you dig to the top of the tomb?"
Wang Kaixuan quickly said: "No, this tomb is really shallow."
Chen Ziyan thought After thinking about it, he asked Hu Bayi: "Old Hu, what do you think?"
He felt that this matter was a bit unreasonable. How could it be settled with so many shovels?
Hu Bayi felt a little confused, because he had never learned about this situation before, so he had to say: "I am also a little unsure, this does not look like an imperial mausoleum."
If it is an imperial mausoleum, how could it be like this? Simple is found.
Even if they have the skill of touching Jin Xiaowei's ability to divide gold and fix acupuncture points, some wild tricks are not weak at all, and there is no reason to keep them until now.
“Can you open it?” Chen Ziyan asked directly without getting too entangled in the topic.
Now no matter whether the following is correct or not, you will know everything after you go in and take a look.
If they're in the right place, there's no need to say anything, but if they're in the wrong place, it's a pleasant surprise.
Hu Bayi understood what Chen Ziyan meant, nodded immediately, squatted down and continued to clean up.
Whether it can be opened, he doesn't know yet. He needs to clear a little ground before he can gain anything.
However, he felt in his heart that it was basically not difficult at this depth.
As long as it is not like the Tianbao Dragon Fire Glazed Dome, which will be destroyed by a slight touch, he can handle ordinary mechanisms.
After scanning the area under his feet, Hu Bayi took a few glances, and his face instantly became a little ugly.
He miscalculated.
If he read it correctly, he might not be able to open the mechanism here.
The safest way is to go around the top and look for the side walls, which will make it safer when cracking the mechanism.
After reaching this conclusion, he raised his head and said: "It is difficult to open it from the top. It is best to enter from the tomb wall."
Chen Ziyan heard this and said: "Then let's go around here."
If this location is correct, it should be the area where Hydra Cypress is located. He didn't know how Zhang Qiling opened it in the original plot. But since Hu Bayi said this, it means that there is no mechanism.
Since there are safety risks, there is no need to fight here.
"Okay." Hu Bayi responded and called to Wang Kaixuan: "Fat man, let's dig to the side."
Wang Kaixuan asked with some confusion: "Old Hu, What’s the mechanism down here?”
Through the conversation between the two, he naturally knew that there was a mechanism here, and it was a relatively dangerous one, but it probably wasn't the Tianbao Dragon Fire Glazed Ding that he had encountered before, so he was inevitably a little curious.
After hearing Wang Kaixuan's question, although the people above did not say anything, they all pricked up their ears, wanting to hear what Hu Bayi would answer.
Hu Bayi did not hide anything, and directly stated his findings: "I suspect that there is something with strong acidity down here. This is a very old anti-theft method, but it is extremely effective. It must be We need to get the substance out first."
"Strong acid? Why is that thing in there?"
"There should be a compartment inside, with strong acid in it. , if we are not careful when opening the roof of the tomb, the strong acid inside will corrode it.”
Wang Kaixuan had new doubts: "Even if it leaks out, doesn't it mean it's flowing downwards? We should be fine on top, right?"
Hu Bayi rolled his eyes at this guy: "You think the ancients would not have thought of this? , if it only flows downward, it won’t be possible for just one person to open it up.”
Wang Kaixuan nodded: “That’s right.”
Although I don’t know the principle, there is nothing wrong with this. .
