Chapter 244 Deep into the Ancient Tomb

A few days later, Niu Wuzhi was buried, and after careful preparation, Qin Mubai and Li Ke, with Da Lei Er Lei and San Lei, led more than a dozen confidant sergeants of the royal palace, and came to the stone slope of the West River again.

"Mu Bai, can these three old men do it?" Li Ke said in a low voice.

"No problem." Qin Mubai nodded affirmatively.

Li Ke curled his lips and obviously still didn't believe it. He said, "I'm afraid that hundreds of sergeants are not sure to make a big hole in the stone floor within a month. These three old men..."

"I didn't know until I saw it." Qin Mubai smiled slightly.

"Bright, I may have to explore the deep cave and dig the mausoleum for a while. My people are okay to work hard, but they are not lean enough. Why don't you bring Baiqi?" Li Ke asked.

Qin Mubai turned his eyes a few times, smiled strangely, and didn't say anything. Li Ke was stunned, smiled and muttered, "Ok, I won't ask."

After all, Baiqi is the emperor's pro-guard rate, and it is a little indecent to dig graves and dig graves. Besides... In case there are some secrets here that they don't want the emperor to know, it's better to have less than one more thing than one thing, it's better not to take a hundred horses.

For a moment, Li Ke clearly felt that Qin Mubai and he seemed to be closer than the emperor, and he was quite happy.

"General, it's all ready." The three old men tossed around for a long time, buried the explosives, and came to report. Because the voice was too loud, Li Ke was so noisy that he almost covered his ears.

Qin Mubai laughed and said, "Your Highness, don't mind. They have been studying gunpowder all their lives and quarrelling their ears, so they are naturally loud when they are hard of hearing - three masters, let's get started!"

"General and Your Highness, please retreat further." The three old men said, "The five-finger thunder is so powerful that the stone crumbs can fly hundreds of feet away to hurt people. It's better to avoid the boat."

"Is it so exaggerated?" Li Ke blinked suspiciously.

"Let's listen to them. Let's go!" Qin Mubai said.

"Good."

The group went to the boat, leaving a very long lead, which was pulled directly to the shore. When everyone got on the boat, the thunder ignited a fire and jumped on the boat.

The lead is burning, like a spirit snake running forward. The three old men exaggeratedly lay on the deck of the ship and covered their ears tightly. Seeing that their actions were so exaggerated, Qin Mubai, Li Ke and others also squatted down and covered their ears tightly.

After a long time, there was still no movement. Li Ke couldn't help but let go of his hand suspiciously and stood up to look at it. Suddenly, there was a violent explosion in front of him, and the deafening sound rushed with air waves, which made Li Ke tremble all over and almost fell to the ground.

The whole stone mound trembled violently, and there was a wild wave near the shore, and the boat also swayed. Li Ke stood unsteadily and almost fell off the boat. Fortunately, Qin Mubai quickly grabbed him with his eyes.

"Boom-Rumble!"

A mushroom-like black-and-white wave rose to the sky. In addition to Qin Mubai and the three old men, it was the first time in their lives that the ship was full of people to see such a terrible explosion. On the spot, many people were so scared that their faces turned white, and some people exclaimed, "This is not the demon king in the ancient tomb, is it?"

"Shut up!" Qin Mubai shouted loudly and said, "It's all right now. Let's go and have a look!"

After saying that, he jumped off the boat first.

Li Ke's face turned a little pale, and his legs trembled a little. He jumped out of the boat and still had some fear. He muttered, "It's so horrible! This is really the power of moving mountains and seas! - Mu Bai, if this five-finger god thunder is used to destroy the city and pull up the fortress..."

Qin Mubai smiled mysteriously: "Let's talk about that later. Now, adventure is important!"

"All's it!" Li Ke smiled and rubbed his hands happily, "It's so exciting! I have grown up, and today is the most exciting day! Wait for the talk. Let's go!"

"Wait! I almost forgot to put on a heavy armor. Qin Mubai hurriedly stopped Li Ke.

"Is it necessary?"

"There should be." Qin Mubai said, "Zhao Chong's grandfather must have entered the ancient tomb. Among his relics, there is a bright armor. Obviously, he didn't treasure such a former Sui thing as a souvenir. Otherwise, why did he only have armor, no knives and seals? So I miss that there are organs in this ancient tomb, and heavy armor needs to be used to defend.

Li Ke nodded with deep understanding: "Okay, listen to you - everyone obeys the order and wear armor!"

More than ten people in the line, except for three old men and two sailors who stayed to watch the boat, all of them put on the first-class bright armor and brought sharp blades, bows and arrows, yellow and torches and other things. They were fully prepared and went to the explosion site.

When they arrived at that place, everyone's eyes widened--

"There's really a huge deep hole!"

A huge hole with a diameter of three or four feet appeared in front of everyone. The edge of the cave is charred, and there is still some vegetation and charred rock and soil. The hole was dark and out of sight. Obviously, it was extremely deep. However, one or two feet after entering the hole, you can indeed see the ladder extending down. It's just that the previous paragraph was destroyed by the huge power of the five-finger thunder.

"Mu Bai, it turns out that your inference is correct." Li Ke said happily, "You can change your job to Mr. Fengshui."

"Haha!" Qin Mubai laughed, "Actually, I'm also half guessing - what are you waiting for? Go down!"

"Good!" Li Ke smiled with his eyebrows, put his hands on his back to make a form of inhalation and courage, and waved his big hand: "You--up!"

"Yes!"

Although they were very scared, those royal soldiers answered loudly. Several people lined up their heads and slid into the steep hole with their careful hands with their torches. He slipped down a few steps, stepped on the stairs, and then went down one by one. After leaning down for a few feet, I heard a voice from the cave: "Your Highness, general, everything is fine!" This is a very deep cave!"

"Okay, let's go down!" Li Ke jumped down happily, and the people below hurriedly reached out to catch him.

Qin Mubai shook his head and smiled, and also jumped down.

The hole has been closed for many years, and the air is very turbid. Just after entering for a while, everyone felt a little chest tightness. Someone whispered, "There won't be a curse of disgust, right? I feel dizzy and uncomfortable."

"Don't talk nonsense." Qin Mubai shouted, "Let's exit and wait for a while. I'll deal with it and come in later."

Everyone obeyed the order and climbed out first. Qin Mubai picked up several torches and threw them into the cave. When it burns, it will cause air convection. Second, it can also play a role in expelling the poisonous miasma. After waiting for a few moments, Qin Mubai said, "Okay, you can go in now!"

Everyone went into the cave again, and they felt much better this time. Although there is some unpleasant smell of burnt smoke in the air, the good thing is that the air is much more comfortable, and there is no longer the feeling of chest tightness and dizziness.

"It seems that this cave is not ordinary deep." He lit the torch and saw the road ahead, and everyone said.

"Let me go to the front!" Qin Mubai said.

"No, it's too dangerous." Li Ke hurriedly pulled him.

"Don't worry, it's okay." Qin Mubai smiled confidently, patted Li Ke's hand and said.

Li Ke understood what he meant, so he no longer forced it. Maybe if Qin Mubai doesn't walk ahead and observe carefully, everyone will be in danger.

"Well, then be careful."

So Qin Mubai took a torch and walked to the front.

He carefully walked a few feet deep, and everything was safe and sound. At the beginning, a Sui hole was relatively narrow and rough. The traces of axes and shovels were clearly visible on the wall of the cave, and green moss grew in some places. After walking a few feet, the cave looked much wider. The ground was actually smooth and flat stone channels, and there were torches with torches on the walls on both sides. Occasionally, one or two murals could be seen.

"Your Highness, it seems that the section of Sui Cave in front of you is likely to be temporarily dug up by Zhao Chong's grandfather and others after the Han River was flooded by the West River Trough, so it looks very rough. Now, we should be close to the real mausoleum. Qin Mubai said, "You see, this is obviously a huge project. Even the walls of the cave are made of fine stone, and there are exquisite murals on it."

"It's a palace painting of the former Sui." Li Ke said, "I know."

Of course, Qin Mubai will not doubt it. Li Ke's mother is the princess of the former Sui.

"So, is this really the mausoleum of a former Sui royal family?"

"It shouldn't be wrong." Li Ke's expression became much more solemn.

If so, isn't the owner of the mausoleum still Li Ke's mother's family and his uncle?

Everyone continued to move forward carefully, and suddenly the cave became open, and the front suddenly opened up. A huge mountain abdominal cavity like a theater hall appeared, up to several feet high. Although there has been no trace for many years, it is still very neat here. Except for a lot of old dust, there is no debris.

In front of it is a very flat "mountain wall", so the hole is the end here. There were several torches on the wall of the mountain. Everyone carefully looked around and found that there was no other way out.

At this time, Qin Mubai saw that there was actually a huge relief on the mountain wall, but because it was covered by a lot of dust, it didn't look real. It turned out to be a heroic man riding a steed and waving forward with a long whip. He was wearing a familiar bright armor, but he wore a curtain crown on his head.

"That's...!" When Li Ke saw the picture, he was suddenly stunned!

"Former Emperor Yang of Sui, your grandfather?" Qin Mubai whispered in amazed.

"It should be..." Li Ke's eyes widened, took a deep breath and nodded gently. "I once saw my mother draw my grandfather's appearance for me, which is not much different. I didn't expect that there was an image of him here!"

"Your Highness, General, look!" At this time, a careful pawn found a strange place on the mountain wall and shouted.

Everyone walked over and saw that there was a special frame the size of a door panel on this square mountain wall, which was engraved with many different Chinese characters. These words are the same fist size, engraved here in the form of relief, as many as hundreds.

Li Ke came forward curiously, carefully dusted the handwriting with his sleeves, and carefully defended it. It turned out to be all messy handwriting, neither a sentence nor a text. He stroked curiously gently, suddenly frowned and said, "This can be pressed!"

"Your Highness, slow down!" Qin Mubai shouted hurriedly.

But it's slow!

Li Ke has pressed a word.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise behind him. A huge stone door suddenly came from nowhere. It fell in a rumbling moment, and the Suidong in the future was completely blocked!

"Ah!" Everyone shouted in panic.

Li Ke's face turned white. He looked at Qin Mubai dullly and muttered, "I didn't expect... this would be a mechanism!"

Qin Mubai frowned and said, "That's it. Find another way out. Don't panic, everyone! There must be a way out!"

Under the appeasement of Qin Mubai, everyone finally settled down and began to carefully look for a way out. Li Ke was full of worry and resentment and a little self-reproach. He had been stunned by the embossed tablet and stared at it without moving his feet.

"Mubai, come here!" Suddenly, Li Ke shouted.

"What's the matter?" Qin Mubai walked over.

Li Ke took a deep breath and said, "This slate may not only be the starting gate of the mechanism, but also the way out!"

"What do you say?" Qin Mubai asked.

Li Ke gritted his teeth and said, "Although the words on this are arranged in a mess, many words make me feel familiar. So I think they are not irregular scattered words, but a poem that has been separated and placed here. If you want to find the entrance to the tomb, you have to press it word by word in the order of the poem. If it is wrong, the big slate will be started to seal the road when it comes. I'm afraid this is used to deal with grave robbers.

Qin Mubai suddenly said in surprise, "Do you know what kind of poem this is?"

"I know." Li Ke said lightly, "It's a poem by my grandfather, "The Great Wall Cave of Drinking Horse!"

"What are you waiting for? Try it! Even if it's wrong, the situation won't be worse than now!" Qin Mubai said in a hurry.

Li Ke's expression became solemn, and some sweat overflowed from his forehead. He stretched out his finger, but trembled slightly. Under the gaze of the crowd, he pressed one of the words - "Zu"!

While pressing, Li Ke recited in a low voice--

"The autumn wind rises and travels thousands of miles.

How to build the Great Wall in the desert.

The little boy is wise, the place of the first saint.

Shuzi Wanshiche, peace this billion trillion.

Dare to be worried, sleep high in Beijing.

Beihe Bingwu Festival, thousands of miles of rolling.

Mountains and rivers haunt each other, and the wilderness is poor.

The gold stopped the line, and the drums cheered up the soldiers.

Thousands of rides, drinking horses in the Great Wall Grottoes.

The clouds are blocked in autumn, and the fog is dark.

Yuan Yanyi immediately took advantage of the beacon fire.

I asked about the Great Wall, and I only came to the court.

The turbid air is quiet in Tianshan, and the morning light shines high.

The release of the troops is still vibrating the brigade, and it is necessary to do the waste.

Drink until the word goes, and the credit goes to the front of the Qing Temple.

......

The last word "front" was pressed, and Li Ke was sweaty and panting. He stared around with wide eyes, without a trace of movement.

He immediately shook his head in disappointment: "It seems that I guessed wrong."

"Boom--"

A sudden loud noise sounded in this empty cave, which stunned everyone.

The whole large stone wall in front of him suddenly cracked a crack from the middle and moved away to both sides.

The loud noise, dust and sand falling!

"Your Highness, be careful!"

The sergeants hurriedly pulled Li Ke back to dodge.

At this moment, the huge stone gate pressed behind him was also slowly rising, making a huge and dull squeal.

The opening of the big stone wall is getting bigger and bigger, and there is a roaring wind inside, blowing up the dust falling from the stone wall, flying all over the sky without seeing the line.

"Your Highness, you have succeeded!"

"Is that right?" Li Ke answered happily, but was choked by the dust and kept coughing.

Everyone hurriedly covered their mouths and noses with their robes to avoid countless dust.

After a long time, the loud noise stopped, the wind stopped, and the dust gradually calmed down and stopped flying. Everyone opened their eyes again and was immediately shocked!

After the huge mountain wall was opened, there was a scene similar to a palace inside!

Carved beams and flying eaves, gold bricks and jade tiles; white stone paving, dragon column!

It's actually a golden temple!

On the big stone pillar in the hall, I don't know how many valuable night pearls are embedded, which make the interior as bright as day. In addition, those resplendent objects reflect light, which will adapt to the darkness of Qin Mubai and others, which is a little dazzling.

"Oh, my God! Is this the Heavenly Palace?!" Everyone was shocked, and suddenly a few excited sergeants were about to rush in.

"We are rich, we are rich!"

"Hight!" Li Ke shouted loudly, and the sergeants woke up like enlightenment and hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty.

"Get out of here!" Li Ke shouted calmly, with an extremely serious expression.
