Chapter 373 - 374:

Chapter 373 The General Tomb
The hallway of the underground tomb was damp and cold, and the ears were so quiet that only the footsteps of the crowd remained. This environment is weird, especially when everyone doesn't speak, the atmosphere becomes even more weird.
The night was dark, and everyone quickly took out the night pearl. With the light of the night pearl, you can see that the ground is paved with mud, and the surrounding wall is also a soil wall. There is no brick.
Should this be the entrance to the tomb?
Sure enough, after walking for a while, everyone saw a stone gate ahead.
A strange totem was painted on the door. There were two lamps next to the stone door. The lights were always on. Although the light was dim, the oil inside it seemed to never burn.
After the crowd approached, the wick began to shake gently, casting strange ghost shadows on the surrounding walls, as if two ghost fires were floating in the night.
Ye Qi wasn't afraid of these illusions. He was curious and said, "This underground tomb hasn't been talked about for hundreds of years, can it be burned for so long?"
Lu Jiuchuan just wanted to step forward and look at it. Yu Hanjiang was worried that he might be injured. In case he might be caught by the authorities, he reached out and stopped his brother. He went to the front to look at the two lamps.
After careful observation, Yu Hanjiang said, "The lamp oil added here should be a special material, which is not the same as the oil lamp we have seen." He said again and looked to Xiao Lou, as if waiting for Xiao Lou's explanation.
Xiao Lou walked to him and observed for a few seconds, saying "This is a 'Long Ming Lamp'. The lights can burn for hundreds of years without going out. Putting a long Ming Lamp in the tomb, besides lighting the underground tomb, there is a particular kind of faith-believe in Buddha." If a person wants to find relief after death, he will use the lamppost as his heart and the lamp as his heart, and increase his precepts, thinking that it will be fuel, wisdom, wisdom, and fame. "
The teammates listened carefully. Several times before, in the closet of the square film, Professor Xiao took everyone to lie down and win. His knowledge is very broad, so listening to him tell the meaning of the long light, the teammates were not surprised at all, but felt that Professor Xiao knew it was normal. After all, Xiao Lou is a school tyrant who is still reading questions and has already submitted answers.
But the four of Lu Jiuchuan and the team of Xiao Lou are the first cooperation.
Listening to him quickly said the meaning of the long light, Lu Jiuchuan's admiration for "my brother looks really smart"; Chu Huaying was expressionless, but listened carefully; Tang Ci looked indifferent; Mr. Gui Lao smiled lightly He smiled and did not interrupt him, and continued to listen to him explain.
"It's also the first time I've seen a real beacon. The added oil in it should be the legendary beeswax." Xiao Loudao.
"Beeswax?" Lu Jiuchuan frowned, "Is it the secretion of a bee?"
"Well. To be precise, it is a fatty substance secreted by worker bees, and also a material for building honeycombs. The ancients were very intelligent. They melted the honeycomb with hot water and refined it into" bee wax ". The speed is very slow. It can be burned for a long time as long as the oxygen is kept in the grave. This is also the origin of the long light. "Xiao Lou explained carefully.
"Professor Xiao is right." Mr. Gui Lao suddenly said, his voice was low, "The archeologist found the long lamp in the tomb of Emperor Wanli, and determined that the material used to make the lamp oil was beeswax. As for the so-called in the tomb of Qin Shihuang "Mermaid paste lamp oil" has not yet been conclusive in the scientific community. "Gui Yuanzhang looked to Xiao Lou," I did not expect that you are young and interested in history and archeology? "
"..." Xiao Lou found himself meeting a real expert, and immediately became enthusiastic. "Senior, I just like to read some miscellaneous books and understand this knowledge. Compared to you, what I know can only be It's fur. "
Gui Yuanzhang is a master of calligraphy, a professor in the history department, and a profound knowledge. Xiao Lou's father is a fan of returning to old age, and he also has a cursive work of returning to Mr. Lao at home. Xiao Lou is also embarrassed in front of his elders.
Gui Lao said very gently, "No need to be humble. The square chambers encountered this time are not necessarily the ancient tombs that actually exist in history. It is more likely that the guards will refer to some historical books and set them casually. We do n’t have to worry about the dynasties and the history of the graves of ancient generals. We need to find the exit of the ancient tomb first.

Lu Jiuchuan was an activist. When he heard this, he stepped forward and knocked gently on the stone gate.
There was a muffled sound in my ears. It can be seen that this stone door is very thick and cannot be destroyed or pushed by humans. It must be opened by an organ.
Lu Jiuchuan asked, "Are these two lamps the authorities?"
Xiao Lou swept around and found no other organs, so he said, "Look if the two long lights can turn?"
Yu Hanjiang heard this, stretched out his hand, and tried to rotate the beacon in front of him. Lu Jiuchuan, who was standing on the right, also walked over, learning his brother's movements, and turning the Chang Ming lantern once.
Shimen did not respond.
Yu Hanjiang and Lu Jiuchuan looked at each other and tried to turn in the opposite direction ... Shimen still did not respond.
Xiao Lou stepped back and looked at the totem on Shimen carefully.
The patterns of the totems were very messy. He was wondering, and Gui Yuanzhang said suddenly, "Half of the totems on this stone gate are engraved and half engraved. They form a pattern similar to Tai Chi."
After all, he is an expert in calligraphy. He sees the characters such as Yin and Yang more clearly than ordinary people. If Xiao Lou remembered it correctly, Gui Yuanzhang's own seal was an engraved seal on the calligraphy and painting collected by his father.
The engraved pattern will sag into the plane, while the engraved pattern will bulge out of the plane. It will be more obvious when you touch it with your hands. However, if you look at it with your eyes, it is easy to confuse the two.
A hint from the old seniors, Xiao Lou quickly understood the meaning of the pattern.
There are many animal motifs in the Taiji diagram, all of which are interference factors. The whole painting looks like a scene of ancient sacrifice. Excluding the interference items, you can see a man, a woman and two thumbs. In the pattern on the left, the woman's left hand is facing up with one hand, clockwise; on the right, the man's hands are pointing up, but it is counterclockwise in the opposite direction.
Xiao Lou quickly analyzed the solution of the organ "the long beacon on the left, one turn clockwise, the long beacon on the right rotates counterclockwise two times, and the speed of the right is twice that of the left. Try to ensure that the two lights turn at the same time."
After hearing this, Yu Hanjiang and Lu Jiuchuan acted.
You need to make slow motions for one turn, and people who make two turns must speed up the movement, and the two lights can be aligned simultaneously.
It is not certain whether Xiao Lou must be synchronized. He only feels that the dance movements of a man and a woman on the pattern are synchronized. If the long light is turned quickly and slowly, the mechanism may not be opened.
It turns out that he was not wrong in his care.
When Yu Hanjiang turned the long beacon on the left, Lu Jiuchuan's right was exactly two laps, and they clearly heard the "click" sound of the alignment of the two sides. Immediately afterwards, the surrounding ground suddenly began to shake, and a loud noise came from everyone's ears, and the heavy stone gate slowly rose in front of him, exposing a dark martyrdom.
Yu Hanjiang glanced at his elder brother and said, "Go in?"
The door was just the entrance to the labyrinth. If it weren't for Mr. Gui Lao and Xiao Lou who analyzed the opening method of the organ, maybe they would spend a lot of time just in front of this stone door.
Shao Qingge thought with a smile—the previous maze was solved by Professor Xiao, who knew the way and had old Mo. Now he has added a Mr. Gui Yuanzhang who understands history. This week, Zhou Chang happens to be the theme of the ancient tomb. It seems that The next customs clearance will go much smoother.
Anyway, Shao Qingge has always been lying and winning in square films, and he can't help too much. He simply kept silent behind Xiao Lou.
As a result, after taking a few steps, Ye Qi suddenly said, "Look behind you!"
The crowd turned back horribly. The heavy stone door that opened slowly just dropped suddenly after they entered the maze, and the loud noise of "Bang" was like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's hearts .
Yu Hanjiang frowned slightly. "As soon as we entered the maze, we blocked our way back. This is a common trick of square film a."
Lu Jiuchuan simply said, "regardless of it, we can't go back out of this door anyway and continue to move forward."
Xiao Lou looked at his feet with the light of the night pearl.
Unlike the mud soil in front of Shimen just now, after entering the ancient tomb, the ground was covered with bluestone bricks.
This stone brick looks old but clean. The cold and cold environment underground makes people seem to feel a bit of chill when they step on the stone bricks with their feet. Xiao Lou humbly asked Gui Yuanzhang, "Senior, do you know this kind of brick?"
The reason he asked this way was that he found many strange patterns on the ground and wall bricks. He was afraid of what organs were hidden under the bricks. If he accidentally stepped on them, if a bunch of poison arrows suddenly shot on the wall?
Gui Yuanzhang squatted when he heard the words, and Xiao Lou held the night pearl to lend him light.
The old man knocked the bricks on the ground with his hands, heard the sound, and touched the lines carefully, saying, "The bricks are simply carved with moire and dragon patterns, and the lines have clear edges and corners. Judging from this, it is likely to be a tomb brick after the Eastern Han Dynasty. This kind of brick is more common in the Han tombs, and the pattern is only decorative. It does not have much reference meaning.
Xiao Lou reassured, looking at the dark passage ahead and saying "Everyone passes here as soon as possible."
Make sure that there are no organs at your feet, and the speed of the crowd immediately accelerated.
After walking for half a minute, the dark passageway came to an end, and a fork appeared in front of it.
Everyone held Ye Mingzhu to take a closer look. The left and right are the same corridors. The dark underground environment is full of overcast winds, and there is always a kind of uneasiness in everyone's hearts, for fear that things like ghosts will come from the darkness the next moment.
Although this is a square secret room, who knows if the gatekeeper will deliberately set up some "accidents" to scare them?
After all, the four gatekeepers have always been less reliable.
Xiao Lou took a deep breath-left or right?
In case the area of ​​this maze is very large and you go the wrong way, you will waste a lot of time if you go back again.
Lu Jiuchuan turned back and asked, "Let's twelve, why not split into two teams?"
Xiao Lou also liked the team. In the first place, the team can explore two paths at the same time, saving half of the time; in the second place, the twelve of them gather together and appear very crowded in a narrow passage. Instead, they will collide with each other because their hands and feet cannot be opened. Squad action will be lighter.
As for how to split up ...
Lu Jiuchuan looked at Xiao Lou, his eyes were mild. "Let's decide on Xiao Lou. You know more about everyone. Our four are subject to distribution."
Xiao Lou didn't bother, he quickly said, "I am with the team of Han Jiang, Jiu Ge, Mr. Tang, Lao Mo and Liu Qiao; they belong to the team of seniors, Hua Ying, Shao, Xiaoye, and Longqu. There is Zhang Liqingzhao in it, you can leave a mark, and you will be sent back to the marking point when you encounter a dead end. In addition, everyone will take out the four-way arrow card, and every time you pass a fork, make a arrow mark to avoid getting lost.
Xiao Lou's arrangement actually considered a lot.
Li Qingzhao this card, he and Shao Qingge each one, the two naturally scored the team. General Shao ’s insect king card cannot be used in the secret room of the square film, and the fighting power is average. Therefore, Chu Huaying, who is very strong in fighting power, was given away. This sister has killed many hunters with Landing Jiuchuan. She is in safety. do not worry.
Mr. Gui Lao knows history and archeology very well, so their team can solve the riddles smoothly. The Longqu couples can be responsible for investigation when necessary, and Ye Qi is responsible for control. The entire team configuration is very comprehensive.
For Xiao Lou, Yu Hanjiang's combat power goes without saying, Jiu Ge is injured and Liu Qiao's Witch Card can save lives at a critical moment. Mr. Tang can't walk on his legs, so he can take care of it here.
He added Lao Mo to draw a maze map as soon as possible. If their team is in the right direction, he can use Li Qingzhao's mark to pass the other six people directly. If they are in the wrong direction, Lao Mo is guided by the maze and they will also You can quickly go back and find General Shao.
The team must take care of all aspects. After all, he is now the captain of the contract and must be responsible for each team member.
Everyone had no opinion on his arrangement.
If you think about it, you will find that Xiao Lou's arrangement is currently the most reasonable plan.
After the division, Xiao Lou took out the reward card voice headset from the previous level and sent it to everyone. He said, "Everyone put this in your ear, press it with your finger, and then talk, and your teammates in the distance can hear it. The effective range of this headset is 10 kilometers, and the tomb will never exceed 10 kilometers. We are always in touch. "
Everyone quickly put on their headphones and tried a voice call. All of them were normal.
The squadron is also the best way to save time in the copy of the maze. After all, the four of Lu Jiuchuan were all in the a-class secret room, and they had also experienced nightmares. The decision of Gui Yuanzhang and Chu Huaying was very calm.
Xiao Lou looked at Mr. Gui Lao and said, "Senior, I'd like to ask you to lead the team first."
Gui Yuanzhang nodded, "Okay, so be careful."
Lu Jiuchuan simply waved his hands and said, "Separate our actions and encounter voice problems when we encounter problems."
374 Chapter 374
Voice headsets are a great team communication device.
Usually, everyone speaks without disturbing each other. Only when the headset is gently pressed with the fingers, the voice will be transmitted to the entire team. The two teams acted separately, as long as they did not encounter an emergency, they did not need to talk to each other frequently.
After the division, the six members of Xiao Lou went towards the left road.
Tang Ci was in a wheelchair and had difficulty moving. Liu Qiaoben wanted to help him push the wheelchair, but before her hand could reach the wheelchair, Tang Ci calmly refused. "No trouble, my wheelchair is electric, I can do it myself go."
Lu Jiuchuan laughed a little when he heard it and looked at Liu Qiao and said, "Little girl, don't worry, this wheelchair is made by himself. There are control buttons on the armrest. You can walk straight and turn around, which is almost comparable to intelligent robots. Of course, if you encounter stairs or steps, there is no way out. If you can't get in the wheelchair, you will help again. "
Liu Qiao retracted his hand and nodded gently, saying "I have a light power card here. If Mr. Tang encounters a step if needed, he will fly up with a light power card."
Tang Ci glanced at her, her expression was still indifferent, but her eyes softened slightly. "Your sister's affairs, I regret that the information bureau has not been able to find her information. This represents what I think you should know. . Still don't think too much, first clear Zhou Chang and the s-class secret room behind. "
Liu Qiao lowered his head and said nothing, and gently held his fist on his side.
Lu Jiuchuan wondered "Sister?"
Yu Hanjiang glanced at him, he immediately understood and didn't ask any more.
Just then, a downward step appeared ahead.
With the light of the night pearl, the end can not be seen at all, and the steps do not know where to go. The deep black hole is like a beast with an open mouth, which will engulf everyone.
Old Modao "Down step? Isn't this a three-dimensional maze ..."
A flat labyrinth is naturally much simpler than a three-dimensional labyrinth. The three-dimensional labyrinth not only needs to pay attention to the change of direction, but also pay attention to the interlacing in space. It is also unknown how many layers the maze has.
There was only this road before them, and everyone looked at each other, and Yu Hanjiang said decisively, "Go and see."
At the same time, the voice of the old man came from the six-person headset. "We found a step here to the deeper underground."
Xiao Lou replied, "So do we. Be careful with your seniors."
After exchanging information with each other, the twelve slowly descended along the steps.
The steps are very narrow, and each floor can only put down half of the adult's feet. Moreover, the bricks do not know where the water comes from, and they will be slippery when stepping on them. Of course, the wheelchair in Tangci is not convenient to move on such steps Liu Qiaoben wanted to give Tang Ci as a light-weight card, but Tang Ci rejected "Good intentions, keep your own defense, I have a way."
I saw that he summoned two mechanical ants, about 20 long mechanical ants, although the volume was too large compared to normal ants, but the shape was made lifelike. The two antennae of the ant have the same things as the two cameras, which can feedback the surrounding scenery they see at any time, which can be used to explore the road.
Under Tang Ci's instructions, two mechanical ants quickly climbed down the stairs.
Immediately after, Tang Ci suddenly lifted a wire from the handrail of the wheelchair, and the front end of the barbed wire was sucked on the stone brick of the wall steadily. The wheelchair seemed to find a track, followed the wire to the stairs The black hole below slides down faster than Liu Qiao's light work.
Liu Qiao looked at him froze.
Xiao Lou, Yu Hanjiang and Lao Mo also looked at each other.
Lu Jiuchuan's eyes darkened, and there was a hint of husky in his voice. "I have never seen his wheelchair have such a versatile function. Xiaotang ... he made a lot of preparations to go to the s-class room with us."
Naturally, it has suffered more than everyone thought.
It is not a day or two for this complicated wheelchair to be successfully developed. During the experiment, will he fall all over the body? Nobody knows.
Tang Ci alone, stayed in the underground factory researching machinery for a full six months. To prevent his identity from being revealed, he rarely communicates with the outside world. After losing his legs, he did not renounce himself, and rarely showed sadness and sadness. Instead, he relied on his own research and development of intelligent robot technology to study such a smart wheelchair.
The strength of this man made Xiao Lou admire and distressed.
Even if he now loses his legs and is in a wheelchair-he has never been weak and does not need the protection of his teammates.
He will protect himself.
Lu Jiuchuan took a deep breath, resisted the sting from the heart, and quickly followed.
Yu Hanjiang, Xiao Lou and others also quickly walked down the steps. Liu Qiao and Lao Mo walked to the end. She handed the handkerchief attached to the Kongming Lantern card to Lao Mo, and said softly, "Uncle Mo, this handkerchief, you can draw pictures directly with your fingers."
She just wanted to help a little bit.
Mo Xuemin remembered that his daughter was only a few years younger than Liu Qiao. She couldn't help but smile and patted the young girl's shoulder. "Okay, I gave you this handkerchief later, which is convenient for me to draw pictures at any time."
Tang Ci's wheelchair stayed on a flat ground.
His mechanical ants explored the road ahead and gave him feedback-no touching or stomping mechanism was found on this downward step, a depth of about 10 meters, and a relatively wide platform appeared. It is also why Tang Ci dare to directly hook the wall with a wire rope to slide the wheelchair down.
At this time, Tang Ci and his mechanical ants were all staying on the platform.
There are two doors on each side of the platform. The left and right sides of the platform are still bright lights, but the lights here are off.
The beeswax did not burn out, and it is not known why the two lights went out.
Relying on the light of the night pearl, Xiao Lou quickly saw the pattern on the door—similar to the stone gate entering the ancient tomb, and also painted some scenes of ancient priests, with men and women dancing. According to the dancing movements, Xiao Lou analyzed the law of the institution.
"The long beacon on the left, two clockwise turns, and the right counterclockwise."
Yu Hanjiang and Lu Jiuchuan quickly passed to open Shimen.
This is a closed stone room of about 4 square meters. The entire room is empty, but there is a compass hanging on the wall. Tang Ci let the mechanical ants enter the house to explore the road. After confirming that there are no institutions, Xiao Lou followed closely and looked into the compass carefully.
There are a lot of charm-like things on the compass. Ignoring the messy patterns, you can see the east, south, west, and north signs on it. Xiao Lou said, "This is the compass that the ancients recognized the direction, which is the ancient compass."
Lao Mo excitedly said, "It's great. With a compass, we can precisely lock the position of the underground, and it's also convenient for me to draw a map of the maze so that I won't get lost halfway."
Xiao Lou took the compass down.
Strangely, he put the compass in his hand and turned it left and right, but the pointer on it remained motionless.
Yu Hanjiang wondered "Is it bad?"
Xiao Lou thought for a while and said, "Open the opposite Shimen and look."
The crowd returned to the platform, and Xiao Lou continued to analyze the opening method of the organ according to the pattern on the door.
On the other side of the stone room was a wooden box, unlocked.
After opening it, I found some broken clothes and a bronze mirror inside. Xiao Lou picked up the bronze mirror. As a result, his face in the mirror showed a strange twist, and it looked like a ghost, which shocked him.
The dark room, suddenly seeing his face twisted and deformed, is really hairy.
Yu Hanjiang immediately embraced his shoulder, grabbed the mirror in his hand with his other hand, and took a picture of himself.
The appearance is also distorted.
Lu Jiuchuan came over and asked "Is it a mirror?"
"..." Yu Hanjiang frowned and looked at his brother. "What do you mean by that? Xiao Lou and I have become monsters?"
Lu Jiuchuan laughed "adjust the atmosphere, otherwise it's strange."
Xiao Lou "..."
Before, I felt that Jiu Brother was handsome and handsome, but when contacted, Xiao Lou found that the character of this brother was completely different from Yu Hanjiang. Yu Hanjiang never jokes. On the surface, he looks serious and indifferent, but he takes good care of people. Lu Jiuchuan likes to joke and ridicule. No matter what trouble he encounters, even if his arm is cut open by a knife, he also shows a very relaxed look.
The only thing in common is probably the nature in their bones. Both of them are not afraid of death, and they are obsessed with the goals they have determined.
Xiao Lou took the bronze mirror back from Yu Hanjiang, looked at the strange-looking self in the mirror, and said seriously: "This should be ... a yin-yang mirror."
