People in Zong Tomb, Jieling Pirates

Chapter 341 Tianmen and Embedded Road

It is not difficult to confirm this. Hu Bayi just observed the connection between Shiliang and Tan Di for a while and got the answer he wanted.

He let go of the edge of the stone beam he was holding and swam back towards Chen Ziyan and the others while making an 'OK' gesture.

Obviously, what happened is as Chen Ziyan said, this stone beam is not a piece of scrap that fell accidentally, but a building support with its own function.

When Chen Ziyan saw this, he gestured to the others around him, and then took the initiative to swim towards the gap behind.

Now that it is confirmed that there is a building under the stone beam, there is nothing more to say. Let’s go back to the processing factory to move the bronze statue.

Because it was something that had already been discussed, everyone else understood what he meant and followed him obediently.

They all wanted to move on to the next step as soon as possible. After all, the oxygen bottles they carried had a limited capacity and could not support their activities in the water all the time.

After working together to move several bronze statues to the entrance of the cave, Chen Ziyan and others stepped on the water and surfaced. He reminded the others:

"Although you have a bronze statue to stabilize your body, you can't relax later and be sure to pay attention to your surroundings."

Shirley Yang nodded: "Water is the most impermanent, and things under the water are even more difficult to figure out. If something cannot be done, don't force it. If it doesn't work, go back first, and we will discuss it in the long term."

Although she agreed with Chen Ziyan's method, she was not very optimistic about whether the process would go smoothly. After all, what she was about to enter was a water eye, or a water eye that could continuously swallow up water.

Even though Shirley Yang didn't know as much as Chen Ziyan and didn't understand the underground abyss, she still knew what the concept of such a water eye was.

To put it bluntly, if they accidentally fall in, they may have no hope of coming out again in this life.

Although Hu Bayi didn't show it so obviously, he still said sincerely:

"As the saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood. Although our time is tight, it's not imminent. As long as we can leave Xuan Palace before the heavy rain pours in."

When he just went out to inspect the stone beams, he took the time to look outside. Judging from the constant ripples on the water surface, it had begun to rain outside. Although it was not as severe as a heavy rain, it was at least moderate rain.

.

Therefore, Hu Bayi predicted that by tomorrow morning, the flash floods accumulated in the entire area would fill the deep cylindrical valley. If they had not left by then, they would be trapped in the underground palace.

And this is still a relatively ideal situation. If Xuan Palace has any special arrangements to allow the water accumulated outside to pour in in advance, the outcome will be obvious.

Chen Ziyan didn't say anything when he heard this, but nodded slightly to show his understanding, and then said: "We don't have much time, let's do our best."

After saying that, he took the lead in pushing a bronze statue out of the processing factory.

Others followed closely behind. Instead of diving directly into the water hole, they first fixed one end of the climbing rope to the wreckage of the heavy bomber.

If you want to get out smoothly, it's not enough to just rely on the bronze statue, you must also have a suitable fixing bolt, and in this deep pool, there is nothing more suitable than this 'flying fortress'.

This heavy bomber wreckage not only has a very high weight, but also has a huge body, which is far beyond the capacity of the "Water Eye".

After completing all the preparatory work, Chen Ziyan pushed the bronze statues one by one into the black vortex that could even confuse light.

The outer area of ​​the water eye was fine, but as they went deeper, they felt the suction of the undercurrent getting stronger and stronger. If it hadn't been for the bronze statue to maintain their shape, they would have been unable to control their bodies long ago.

After feeling it was almost deep, Chen Ziyan took out two cold fireworks and bumped them against the bronze statue in front of him, immediately igniting cold but immortal sparks.

He did not rush to throw the two cold fireworks, but paused in his hands for a few seconds before letting go. As his fingers loosened, the two cold light groups were immediately carried deeper into the vortex by the undercurrent.

Although this light did not allow them to see clearly the entire scene in the whirlpool below, some surrounding conditions could still be seen during the fall.

Chen Ziyan, who was staring down attentively, successfully found the entrance to the tomb passage hidden on the side of the whirlpool with the help of the light from the cold fireworks.

In fact, it is said to be hidden on the side of the whirlpool, but in fact it is very close to the deepest part of the water eye. If there were not several stones as signs, it would be impossible to find it unless you go directly deep inside.

After seeing the entrance, Chen Ziyan immediately gestured to the others. In order to be able to cope with the current situation of being unable to speak, everyone learned some "Seal" sign language specially used by the American Navy from Shirley Yang, at least simple

Communication is no problem.

Then he asked Hu Bayi to go to the others. This guy also had Wang Kaixuan tied to him, so the next action was not suitable for him.

After Hu Bayi left his side with the help of the interconnected climbing ropes, Chen Ziyan held the bronze statue tightly with one hand and slowly released the safety lock on his body with the other hand.

One centimeter...two centimeters...

Even though victory was right in front of him, he was not anxious at all, but planned and acted secretly in an orderly manner.

With the suction of the undercurrent, Chen Ziyan did not need to dive by himself at all. He only needed to release the length of the climbing rope a little bit, and he would naturally get to where he wanted to go.

The only thing you need to be careful about is not to let yourself be carried away by the current that rotates farther and farther away, otherwise you will be swept away in an instant.

But fortunately, Chen Ziyan was well prepared and had excellent physical fitness and balance, so after a period of time, he reached the position he expected without any trouble.

At this time, in front of him was the entrance of the cave he had just seen. Although it was said to be a cave entrance, what actually appeared in front of Chen Ziyan was a very square bluestone tomb passage.

He landed on one of the stone strips. These bluestones were arranged in a constricted manner on a reverse slope. It seemed that they were using some strange method to offset or resist the influence of the water eye.

However, Chen Ziyan had no intention of going into details. After he successfully stood firm, he immediately lit a cold firework again, using this as a signal to tell the rest of the people waiting above that everything was going well on his side, so that they could also be in order.

whereabouts.

It didn't take long for Hu Bayi and the others to arrive at Chen Ziyan's side. Because it was too close to the water eye, no one dared to neglect them. When everyone was gathered, they entered the tomb passage directly and swam more than twenty meters before they dared to stop.

Take a rest.

Although we had taken a huge risk just now and a slight mistake would have led to a big mistake, when we saw the tomb passage we were in, everyone felt that the risk was worth it.

Just from the format and materials of this tomb passage, we know that this person is probably the rightful owner.

After untying the climbing ropes tied to their bodies, the group continued towards the depths of the tomb passage. After continuing to swim for tens of meters, a stone slope appeared in front of them, and the space they were in was several times wider than the tomb passage.

After going up the stone slope, they were out of the pool that filled the entire tomb passage. As soon as everyone got out of the water, they immediately saw a blue-gray stone door standing at the end of the stone slope of the tomb passage.

"Finally we're here!" Hu Bayi said in surprise as he wiped the water from his mask.

They went through many dangers along the way, but finally had hope.

Chen Ziyan nodded lightly: "After all the hardships, there must be some sweetness, otherwise who would be willing to take risks."

Putting aside everything else, if he gets nothing every time, he may not be willing to engage in this kind of industry.

At this time, Shirley Yang looked back at the tomb passage covered by the pool of water behind her, and asked curiously: "It stands to reason that the tomb door should be set up at the place where we came in. How come it appears here? This is somewhat different from the known specifications.

It’s different.”

Chen Ziyan smiled and replied: "This is not necessarily the tomb door in front of us. Maybe the water eye is the real tomb door."

Shirley Yang thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's right. Not only is this water eye hidden, it is also much safer than an ordinary tomb door."

With the 'deep' experience of moving mountains, she knew very well that even for ordinary tomb robbers, the tomb gates were not too many obstacles that were difficult to overcome, so whether there was a gate or not was more of a meaning.

Even if there is a tomb door, it will only take more effort and time.

"According to the records in ancient books, this should be a heavenly gate in front of us. Look at the bronze gate tower at the top. There are clouds and birds cast around it, symbolizing high in the sky. It is specially used for the corpse of the tomb owner to be transformed into an immortal and ascended to heaven. This general

It can only be found in the tombs of Taoist people." Chen Ziyan pointed to the top of the stone gate not far away and said.

Hu Bayi smiled when he heard this: "Whatever Tianmen, this is a ready-made hole for us to steal."

If there wasn't this Heavenly Gate, it would take some effort for them to enter the Thousand Jin Stone Gate.

But this saves trouble. You must know that the general sky gate can be opened and closed freely. Wouldn't this be an undefended entrance?

"That's right. Don't worry about how King Xian arranged it, but now it's clearly an advantage for us." Chen Ziyan naturally understood what he was thinking and agreed with a smile.

Then several people threw the flying tiger claws up, hung them on the bulge of the Tianmen Gate, and climbed up one by one along the ropes connecting the flying tiger claws.

The rest of the people didn't bother, but Wang Kaixuan, who was still confused, had a bit of trouble, so he had to wait until everyone got up before being pulled up by him who was tied to the rope.

After arriving at the stone platform above, Chen Ziyan reached out and pushed the heavenly door, but to his surprise, the door that should have been able to move freely was now locked from the inside.

But this is not a difficult problem, it is much easier than trying to pry the thousand-pound stone door below.

Because the mechanism behind this kind of portal has no skills at all, so Shirley Yang was not involved, but Chen Ziyan was responsible for it.

After all, now that Wushuanggui is not here, there really is no one stronger than him in the team.

Chen Ziyan caught the special crowbar handed over by Hu Bayi. This is a special tool named "Black Zip" by Captain Jin. It can be stretched and contracted. It can be folded and carried with you. It is specially used to pry tomb bricks.

The tomb door can also be used with the Yin-detecting Claw, which can be regarded as a housekeeping tool in the gold-touching lineage.

After measuring the black fold twice, Chen Ziyan found the right place to start. He first pried a few times at a constant speed to widen the gap, and then suddenly increased his strength.

As Chen Ziyan increased his strength, he heard a 'click' sound, and he successfully pried a corner of the bronze door in front of him.

And just after the 'loophole' appeared in this corner, a cold air flow immediately flowed out from inside.

Feeling the emergence of this air current, Chen Ziyan and the others quickly ducked aside.

They knew that this ancient tomb was absolutely sealed, and the Yin Qi accumulated over the years would be extremely harmful to the human body. If they were not all wearing tight protective clothing, half of their bodies would be chilled by the cold wind.

Big Jinya's father, Lao Jintou, was not only attacked by the sinister wind in this ancient tomb, but his legs were directly frozen, and even his lungs became broken bellows, leaving the root of the disease that can never be cured.

After waiting like this for more than ten minutes, Chen Zi extended his hand to feel it roughly and then said: "There is no hope that the Yin Qi in this tomb will dissipate for a while, but we don't have time to wait, so for the sake of safety, we

Everyone must not take off their masks after entering."

If Hu Bayi's previous speculation is correct, then the topography of the Xuan Palace will be one of two structures, a 'well' or a 'back', and such a structure can easily form airtight, which will cause the accumulation of Yin inside.

The anger becomes heavier.

The best way at this time is to wait quietly for a few days, just like we did in Yerengou, and let the air in the tomb completely change.

But as Chen Ziyan said, they are now pressed for time and have no time to wait for ventilation. Fortunately, they are all wearing protective clothing with matching filtration systems, which can barely solve this problem.

After everyone nodded to express their understanding, Chen Ziyan held Hei Zhezi's hand with greater strength again. With a tooth-ache-inducing "squeaking" metal friction sound, the copper door blocking the road in front of him was completely removed.

Come down.

Everyone entered through the hole without the copper door and came to the inside of the thousand-pound stone door.

After landing on the ground, I discovered that the space behind it was actually not big. I verified that on both sides of the inlaid passage connecting the tomb chamber, there were rows of bronze carts, people, and horses. Just by looking at it, I could tell the quality of these bronze statues.

Far better than what they had seen before, the difference between defective products and genuine products was particularly clear.

Shirley Yang looked at the weapons in the hands of the bronze men and said to the others: "These two weapons are called 'empty groove axe' and 'convex-edged axe' respectively. They are unique weapons of the ancient Dian Kingdom. This proves that here

At least it is a tomb from the ancient Dian Kingdom."

Chen Ziyan followed her line of sight, but his attention did not stay too much on these weapons, but on the environment in front of him.

He found that the terrain in front of him was very narrow. If he wanted to pass, he had to walk among these bronze statues. However, those high-raised swords were obviously not for decoration, which meant that they would bring danger.
