I kept flapping my ears to catch the source of the sound, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty? Which emperor are you talking about, Yongzheng?"
"Bold!" Han Lei said angrily, "Calling the holy name directly is a crime of great disrespect and should be executed!"
I moved my steps and said, "Okay! Come out and try to kill me."
Han Lei said coldly: "Whoever takes this person's head will be guilty of meritorious service. The emperor can pardon you for the death penalty at his discretion."
"Hahaha..." I laughed and said, "According to the "Qing Law", stealing graves and digging up tombs is punishable by death. For us to secretly enter the imperial mausoleum is a crime of treason. In your eyes, it is an heinous crime. Yours Will that emperor pardon the crime? Who are you lying to?"
"The Unpardonable Evils" refers to the ten unpardonable crimes in ancient times. Even if the emperor offers amnesty to the world, the punishment will not be reduced. "Making great rebellion" is one of them. In the eyes of ancient emperors, destroying royal tombs, palaces, and temples was second only to treason. Therefore, "plotting great treason" is also listed as the second most heinous crime.
Han Lei said solemnly: "It stands to reason that those who seek great rebellion should be executed immediately..."
"Get out of here!" Before Han Lei could finish his words, I had already raised my gun and shot diagonally at the distant ceiling while roaring. The moment the bullet opened the roof of the shed, Han Lei's voice stopped abruptly.
When I stood up with my gun, Han Lei's voice sounded again: "Anyone who enters this tomb should be executed for his crime. However, the emperor's grace is so great that he specially orders you to kill the thief and pardon his crime. Anyone who kills a thief can be forgiven for his death penalty."
"Those who kill two thieves can be incorporated into the Forbidden Army."
"Those who kill three thieves can be accompanied by the king."
"Appreciate this—"
This time, Han Lei's voice changed direction, and I couldn't find his hiding place for a while. But the other party said quickly: "To show your favor, your Majesty will let you and others pass through this mountain of swords. After crossing the mountain, it will be the time for you and others to kill the thieves and perform meritorious service. Don't make any mistakes."
After a pause, Han Lei's voice rose again: "When crossing the mountain, don't struggle. If you lose your life, don't blame Zajia for not predicting what he said."
I turned several times in the direction of the sound, but Han Lei's voice moved quickly every time I turned around, giving me no chance to capture the other person's position.
In just ten seconds, I changed directions six or seven times, but Han Lei's voice suddenly disappeared.
I raised my gun and looked around, but suddenly there was a sound of a mechanism opening above my head. When I looked up, there were ten gaps in the ceiling of the tomb passage, and ropes connected to iron claws flew down from the roof. Ye Xun and I waved our swords to push away the iron claws and retreated a few steps before standing down among the ropes like weeping willows.
The members of the archaeological team were caught off guard and were hit continuously by the machine's iron claws. The iron claws with five fingers originally stretched out in anger immediately locked the claws after touching the human body. The sharp nails instantly penetrated into the body of the team member, causing blood to flow. Screams and cries echoed among the crowd, and the iron claws holding the students suddenly retracted from the ceiling, dragging them up into the air.
As I raised my head to the sky, the mechanical ropeway on the ceiling began to slowly rotate, leading the hoisted team members to move slowly towards the Knife Mountain. The blood of several team members was spilled all the way, and the screams were endless. The team members had long ago stopped shouting, but the iron claw hanging them stopped above the mountain of knives. The tip of the knife with blue light was almost touching the soles of their feet.
From my angle, I could clearly see that the toes of the person in the head were about two inches away from the blade. But looking down from his point of view, whether it is a psychological effect or a visual difference, he will feel that the tip of the knife is close to the sole of his foot.
Even if it was out of instinct, he had to pull his legs up desperately, almost curling up into a ball. The iron claws pierced on his shoulders suddenly broke apart from the fingertips, five bloody claws opened in the air, and the man fell to the top of the Knife Mountain without any accident. The bone-piercing roar of the steel knife and the red blood burst out at the same time. The few team members who were still hanging in the air were stunned, screaming and kicking at the top of their lungs, as if this was the only way to make them feel that they could stay away from the mountain of swords.
Ye Xun suddenly summoned his inner strength and shouted loudly: "Don't move at all. The harder you struggle, the faster the iron claws will drive. Don't move, let the iron claws take you there."
Ye Xun's voice made my eardrums buzz, and the screams in the tomb passage were also muffled. The moment the girl hanging in the air lowered her feet tentatively, the iron claws holding her suddenly sank down, and her feet dropped to the tip of the knife.
While the opponent was screaming and about to struggle, Suixin suddenly took out two steel balls and hit the opponent's leg with his hand. The moment the steel ball bounced off the opponent's legs, her legs also dropped to the ground.
The steel claw stuck on the opponent's body shook slightly, and the girl's toes slid over the blade. I watched the extremely sharp blade cut open the toe of the opponent's shoe and slowly passed in front of her feet. A drop of blood slowly rolled down the blood groove on the long knife, and the girl was also led behind the knife mountain by the steel claws.
The opponent continued to slide two or three meters away before the steel claw suddenly collapsed, and the girl also fell to the ground with a scream. The iron claws, still dripping with blood, slowly turned back under the push of the mechanism.
I said solemnly: "Those iron claws will loosen as long as you struggle desperately. Those who go up should not move, just follow it."
Professor Zhang turned pale and asked, "Is this... is this possible?"
"We can only give it a try." I said solemnly, "We can't bring so many people. Moreover, the tomb passage in front of Knife Mountain will collapse soon. If you don't leave, the agency will force you to leave. .”
The loess floor in the tomb passage seemed to be verifying what I said, and it began to collapse steadily not long after my voice fell. Professor Zhang and the others no longer dared to hesitate. They could only put their hands under the iron claws and let the iron claws grab them and lift them into the air.
Lu Xinyao looked at me and said, "What should we do?"
Being hung in the air by iron claws is a fatal danger for anyone. Once the rope breaks or the mechanism blows up, we will inevitably be hung in the air and allowed to be slaughtered by the opponent.
However, if we don't get on the rope, we will fall into the so-called "Forget River". No one would think that there is a good place under the river.
While I was lowering my head and thinking, the crumbling loess road was also heading towards the bottom of my feet. The sound of loess falling into the water is like a drum beat on a execution ground. It bangs and bangs imperceptibly and non-stop, making people feel terrified.
My mind was spinning rapidly and I shouted sternly: "Follow the rope, and no one should follow me."
As soon as I finished speaking, a kite turned over and jumped backwards facing the direction of Daoshan. After flipping half a circle in the air, it fell into the "Forgotten River" again maintaining its original direction.
"Wang Huan..." Doudu was so frightened that he tried to chase after him, but was blocked by Ye Xun's palm: "Listen to Wang Huan and leave quickly!"
At that time, although I could hear the conversation between Ye Xun and the others, I had no idea what was going on above.
After I fell into the water, I was swept forward two or three meters by the force of the current.
The water in the "Forget River" is not only turbulent, but also as dark as ink. Even with my eyesight, I can't see very far.
After I barely stabilized my body in the water, the first thing I did was to move closer to the wall of the tomb passage with all my strength. Fortunately, I was not too far away from the wall. After being pushed by the current and sliding twice, I finally caught it. on the wall.
As I walked forward step by step along the wall, my magical powers began to work crazily.
Mother Fox told me: The magical power of Earthly Listening is actually the secret of "The Art of Listening" that is not passed down by Emperor Shiwen Shizong. The magical power of Earthly Listening is very similar to the first level of "The Art of Listening" which "penetrates the earth thousands of miles".
I didn't get the complete "Ghost Eye Technique", and Fox Mother only got a small part of the "True Listening Technique", so she is famous for her ear skills in Tan Shen's hands. As for how she obtained Wen Shizong's secret technique, she didn't tell me.
However, she forced me to practice the first three levels of "The Art of Listening".
What I use in the water is the "peeling off the cocoon" in "The Art of Listening". If you practice this secret skill to the extreme, you can distinguish what you want to hear among hundreds of sounds.
Even if a group of people are talking around you, you can clearly hear what the target is saying.
Although the water roared in my ears, I could clearly hear the sound of machinery turning in the distance.
As I was slowly moving forward following the sound, the water rushing toward me suddenly accelerated. When the violent impact hit me like an overwhelming force, I was caught off guard and rushed forward two steps in a row.
Everyone who has waded across a river knows that when the water is strong, you must not walk along the water. If you are swept away by the water, you will no longer be able to regain your footing. You may be knocked down by the water and you will have to stand even if you want to. Can't get up.
Just now, I relied on the skill of "thousand catties of falling" to stick my feet to the bottom of the water to prevent me from drifting with the current. Now the current has broken the strength on my feet and I can't stop even if I want to. After I only took three steps, I heard the sound of water in front of me suddenly change.
There was a sound like a knife breaking through the water, and the more I moved forward, the clearer the sound became. In just three steps, the sound was like the roar of a ghost, in my ears Continuously rushing.
Is there a knife in the water
My first reaction was that there was a murderous intention ahead. Even if there is no tip of the knife facing the water flow in front, there should still be something like a spear inserted. Otherwise, there will not be the sound of the river water rushing over the sharp blade.
I knew I couldn't walk anymore, but my feet were still moving forward step by step under the force of the water.
At the critical moment, I pulled out Mie Tian from my body and stabbed the knife into my side with all my strength. The three-foot-long blade was completely submerged into the wall in an instant, and I forced myself to stand in the water with my hand on the handle of the knife.
As soon as I stopped, my body moved forward involuntarily due to the force of the water flow. It was precisely because of this small distance that I almost died.
At that moment, I clearly felt something piercing my forehead.
