People in Zong Tomb, Jieling Pirates

Chapter 258 Entering the Tomb

Comparing the stars in the sky, Hu Bayi's footsteps 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 where you can do it 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, 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 refuted his statement because everyone else had 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 and it won't be easy to get down." Da Jinya looked at the terrain under his feet and said.

He couldn't say for sure about others, but it was definitely not easy to think about it himself. He still had this self-awareness.

"No need to go down." Hu Bayi shook his head.

There was nothing they were looking for down here, all he needed was the nearly dry stream.

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 it still needs to be confirmed based on the real terrain.

Everyone could hear the confidence in Hu Bayi's tone and knew that he must be sure, so they 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 after seeing 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 Wang Kaixuan's words, he said: "The place we are looking for can't be special."

This was the position he deduced based on the astrology and water vein trends, and the somewhat unreasonable open space now confirmed his inference.

You must know that this is a mountainous area with dense trees. If there is such an unreasonable place, it means that there must be a problem below.

Otherwise, there is no reason why this situation would occur.

Chen Ziyan carefully observed the area 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. However, there are dense woods not far away.

Natural conditions can be excluded.

After excluding natural factors, the last possibility left is that there is an invisible plant occupying this area.

Others 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: "Let's all be more vigilant. There may be something down here."

Since he knew there was a Hydra cypress down there, he couldn't help but mention it.

Upon hearing this, Hu Bay asked: "Master Chen, what do you know about this place?"

With the previous experience as a basis, Hu Bayi now felt that Chen Ziyan might know something, especially since it was his suggestion to come 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's information is probably exclusive.

"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 didn't 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 for a while, 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 him more information, otherwise there might be errors.

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', will wrap its vines around any creature that comes close to it and kill it." Chen Ziyan briefly explained the information he knew.

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 listening to Chen Ziyan's words, Da Jinya suddenly asked this question without knowing anything.

"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 Big Jinya reminded him, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

If the person behind the scenes wanted 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 that the person who dealt with them was the Crescent Hotel.

Others don't know, and he still doesn't know, Zhang Dafo Ye has built a Gutongjing project, and it should be around the same time now. It is very likely that Tianxin Stone was collected for this purpose.

After all, the power of the 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 defend 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’s going on, but it just feels like such a coincidence, as if things are happening in a hurry.”

Wang Kaixuan scratched his head and asked puzzledly: "What kind of tricks are you two doing here?"

Hu Bayi understood somewhat, looked at Chen Ziyan and asked: "Master Chen, what's 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 couldn't figure out 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, and he had to go down to this tomb anyway.

More importantly, the experimental subjects were scattered around on guard and did not send back any information.

This showed that there was no one else nearby except them, and also negated 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 to stare at people, but to directly block 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, stopped at a position, and then took out his engineering shovel and started digging.

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 were not proficient in the art of digging holes, they were already proficient, so they dug very deep without much effort.

bump--

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, it could be said that the two of them had just gone through hell.

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 was probably a rock or something like that.

But no matter what it was, he had to be careful when dealing 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: "Lao Hu, have we found it?"

He felt that this was easier than the Savage Ditch.

Thinking of the time at Yerengou, 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 and said, "This is not a glazed roof. It should be no problem to open it directly."

One thing he didn't say was that if this was Liuliding, the two of them would have just finished playing.

Wang Kaixuan didn't think of this. When he heard what Hu Bayi said, he shouted above his head: "Master Chen, come down quickly and find a place."

In order to avoid hindering their work, Chen Ziyan and the others waited in a remote place and helped 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 hurriedly said: "No, this tomb is really shallow."

Chen Ziyan thought for a while and asked Hu Bayi: "Lao Hu, what do you think?"

He felt that this matter was a bit unreasonable. Why did it end with so many shovels?

Hu Bayi also felt a little confused, because he had never learned about this situation before, so he could only say: "I am also a little unsure, this does not look like an imperial mausoleum."

If it were an imperial mausoleum, how could it be found so easily?

Even if they have the skill of touching Jin Xiaowei's ability to divide gold and fix acupoints, some wild men are not weak at all, and there is no reason to keep the tomb until now.

"Can you open it?" Chen Ziyan asked directly without getting too entangled in the topic.

Now, regardless of whether the following is correct or not, you will know everything once you go in and take a look.

If they find the right place, then of course there is nothing to say, but if they find the wrong place, it can also be regarded as an unexpected surprise.

Hu Bayi understood what Chen Ziyan meant, nodded immediately, squatted down and continued to clean up.

He doesn't know if it can be opened now. He needs to clear some 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's not like the Tianbao Dragon Fire Glazed Dome, which will be destroyed by just 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 coming to this conclusion, he raised his head and said: "It's a little difficult to open it from the top. It's best to go in from the tomb wall."

Chen Ziyan heard this and said: "Then go around here."

If the location was correct, it should be the area where the Hydra Cypress was located. He didn't know how Zhang Qiling opened it in the original plot, but since Hu Bayi said so, it meant that there was 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 kind of mechanism is there 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.

When they heard Wang Kaixuan's question, although the people above them didn't say anything, they all pricked up their ears, wanting to hear what Hu Bayi would say in response.

Hu Bayi did not hide anything and directly stated his findings: "I suspect that there is something with strong acid properties down here. This is a very ancient anti-theft method, but it is extremely effective. The substances inside must be removed first.

Just get it out."

"Acid? Why is that thing in there?"

"The compartment, there should be a compartment inside, and the strong acid is placed in it. If we are not careful when opening the top 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 up there, right?"

Hu Bayi rolled his eyes at this guy: "You think the ancients wouldn't have thought of it. If it only flows downward, then it won't take just one person to get rid of it."

Wang Kaixuan nodded: "That's true."

Although I don’t know the principle, there is nothing wrong with this.
