I looked at Ye Xunjian in shock, and his eyes met mine.
The two of us just looked at each other, and Ye Xun raised the crossbow arrow into the air.
Before Ye Xun had time to pull the trigger, the pieces of cloth floating in the air suddenly seemed like snowflakes blown up by the wind, spiraling towards the green oil lamps on both sides of the tomb passage.
When the piece of cloth touched the light in the sky, it was like a layer of fire oil was sprayed on the tip of the fire. Dark purple fire suddenly shot up into the sky, and the entire tomb passage was lit and darkened in the purple fire. The head in the air was pushed into the purple flames dancing wildly in the sky in an instant.
The moment Ye Xun turned the crossbow to aim at the head, the firelight floating in the air suddenly rolled back towards the depths of the tomb passage. The ghost that was still grinning in the air seemed to be drawn into the gate of hell by the purple fire, and disappeared without a trace in an instant, leaving only a long, narrow and cold tomb passage.
Before we could make another move, two stone gates suddenly fell down from both sides of the tomb passage, instantly sealing us in the tomb passage.
Sui Xin and Lu Xinyao each ran to a stone gate and knocked on it twice: "This is the Dragon Breaking Stone. We can't get out."
"Not necessarily." I put Professor Zhang down, "Professor Zhang, don't think about where we are now, and don't think about the specific location. Just think that we just came from the Shinto stele pavilion, and calculate Yongzheng's In what direction should the coffin be?”
Professor Zhang made a rough estimate and said: "It should be over here. But..."
I waved my hand to interrupt what Professor Zhang was saying: "Ye Xun, use explosives to break down the wall."
"No!" Professor Zhang tried his best to stop him, "You are destroying the emperor's tomb. You..."
I simply pulled Professor Zhang aside. Ye Xun and Doudu quickly placed the keys and pressed the keys suddenly.
After a loud "boom", the outer wall of the tomb passage was blasted with earth and rocks flying, but it was only a deep pit. I walked to the wall and touched it twice: "Blow it up again!"
This time, before Ye Xun and the others had put their guns away, a secret door suddenly opened on the ground that led directly to the ground.
As soon as I stood up and approached the secret door, a loud voice came from below: "I'm waiting for you."
I carried Professor Zhang on my back and said, "Since there are people waiting for us, let's go down and have a look."
Not long after I walked down the secret door with Professor Zhang on my back, the tomb passage in front of me split into three branches.
I patted Professor Zhang on me: "Professor Zhang, who is buried in Tailing?"
"It's Emperor Yongzheng, Empress Xian and Imperial Concubine Dunsu." Professor Zhang said, "There are only three people here."
I gestured with my hands: "Ye Xun, you take Lu Xinyao to the middle; Doudu, you and Suixin go to the left; I'll go to the right."
I didn’t care whether they answered or not, so I greeted them and walked straight to the tomb passage on the right.
After I walked more than ten meters, I said, "Old Zhang, Imperial Concubine Dunsu should be Nian Gengyao's sister, right?"
"Yes." Professor Zhang said, "The Imperial Concubine Dunsu is Nian Gengyao's sister, and she was also the first imperial concubine to be granted the title of Emperor Yongzheng in the Yongzheng Dynasty."
"Oh, that's it!" I said as I walked, "Hey, Lao Zhang, how did your high fever go down?"
"I... I..." Professor Zhang said hesitantly, "I don't know how I got better..."
My voice suddenly dropped: "Did you kill someone?"
Professor Zhang trembled slightly: "You can't talk nonsense, when will I..."
My voice gradually became colder: "Do you really think I can't see that there is blood on your body? You cut the knife on the left side of the deceased. Because you didn't hold the knife steady the first time, you just pierced his stomach. But it didn’t kill him.”
"After you stabbed the man once, he woke up from the pain. Then you covered his mouth and stabbed him a second time. Am I right?"
Professor Zhang said in a trembling voice: "Don't talk nonsense. You have no evidence, so you are making a false accusation."
I suddenly threw Professor Zhang to the ground, squatted down and strangled him by the neck: "I don't need any evidence, just knowing that you are the only left-handed person in the archaeological team is enough. The two swords Zhang Liang received were all It was you who stabbed it, right?"
Professor Zhang's expression suddenly changed: "I... So what if I kill someone? He can't live anyway. If I kill him, I can still live."
My voice deepened: "Do you believe that ghost so much?"
"So what if I don't believe it?" Professor Zhang said, "At this point, I can only believe that he is telling the truth. Didn't you see that after Zhang Liang died, we all returned to the original state?"
Professor Zhang suddenly raised his head and said: "You believe it, you must believe me, what the ghost said is true. Yongzheng... No, the emperor is recruiting troops, as long as we are willing..."
"Shut up!" I raised my hand and slapped him across the face.
Professor Zhang covered his face and roared: "If you don't kill someone, won't others kill you? Lu Xinyao, Lu Xinyao also killed someone! Did you see... did you see the knife on the neck of a girl? That was Lu Xinyao Xin Yao was cut out. Why did Lu Xinyao take a nap next to that girl? She just wanted to kill people. "
I couldn't help but frown: "How did you know?"
Professor Zhang said: "At that time, some of the people in the tomb passage were asleep and some were not asleep. I was also napping at the time, and then suddenly woke up with a shock, and I happened to see Lu Xinyao cutting someone's neck with a knife. She didn’t use her own knife, but our team member’s knife. After she killed someone, she quietly inserted the knife into that person.”
"Lu Xinyao saw me awake and originally wanted to kill me. She was afraid that I would yell, so she changed her mind."
Professor Zhang said emphatically: "I swear, Lu Xinyao said a lot to me at that time. In short, he said that you can't get out of this imperial mausoleum without killing people. If you want to survive, you have to kill people!"
"I didn't know what I was thinking at the time, so I believed her, stood up and stabbed Zhang Liang twice. After I killed the person, I lay back quietly, but I don't know why I suddenly felt so much better. I have never It wasn’t that comfortable. At that time, I believed that killing someone could really help you survive!”
Professor Zhang stopped here. I asked in a deep voice: "What happened next?"
Professor Zhang said in a trembling voice: "Later, later... I kept pretending to be asleep, but I heard someone stand up, walk over to those few people, and move their hands on them."
"I heard the sound of daggers piercing people's bodies one after another, and I also heard someone crying. Everyone was pretending to be asleep, and they all killed people, but none of them pretended that nothing happened."
Professor Zhang covered his face with his hands and said, "I also killed someone. I killed my nephew with my own hands."
I said coldly: "What then?"
"Then... then..." Professor Zhang looked at my face and then whispered, "I seemed to hear someone on your side standing up to kill someone. I don't know who that person was, but it must be someone from your side. "
The person he was talking about was Ye Xun. When I was inspecting the corpse, I saw a knife mark on a corpse coming from a bloody eye. The murderer's method of slashing was exactly the same as Ye Xun's. The knife was struck very quickly and killed with one blow.
Professor Zhang didn't know what I was thinking, but he still said to himself: "After that person killed someone, I don't know who screamed. She shouted 'blood'. I guess she may have touched someone." The blood was so frightened that I no longer dared to pretend to sleep, so I shouted like that."
"Then, everyone pretended to be panicked and crowded into the corner. Later, you woke up."
I said in a deep voice: "How long did I sleep for?"
"I don't know." Professor Zhang shook his head and said, "At that time, who can go and see what time?"
I stopped when I asked, but Professor Zhang said: "Wang Huan, there is something I don't know whether to say or not."
I replied angrily: "If you fart, just let it go."
Professor Zhang said: "Actually, your friend also wants to kill someone!"
"I saw that guy you called "Old Donkey" secretly smearing the powder on a student's feet... "
"And Ye Xun, when you were carrying me and running out just now, he aimed his crossbow at you two or three times."
I stared at him closely and said, "Do you want to die?"
Professor Zhang quickly said: "I know you trust your friends, but what if they are not your friends?"
My expression suddenly changed: "What do you want to say?"
Professor Zhang said: "After we passed Daoshan, I heard you shouting, asking them to leave you alone and cross Daoshan quickly. After that, there was no movement on the other side of Daoshan for a long time. Later, the four of them came from Come out from behind Daoshan."
"At first they were moving smoothly toward Knife Mountain, but then they suddenly stopped in the middle. At that time, not all the iron claws on the roof fell off, and there was still one on the edge of Sui Xin."
"I saw her tugging on the iron claw a few times. Later, some of my students yelled for them to kick people. They shouted because they saw Sui Xin pulling on the iron claw and felt something was wrong."
Professor Zhang raised his hand and said: "I swear, what I said is completely true. That student specifically asked me for instructions before shouting."
"Think about it, nothing happened to all the people the agency brought here, so why did something happen when they came here? Doesn't it have anything to do with following one's heart?"
Professor Zhang suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Do you believe in ghost possession?"
I frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"
Professor Zhang quickly explained: "I didn't believe it before. I have always believed in science. However, when I was developing an ancient tomb, I saw a ghost possessing it with my own eyes!"
"At that time, one of our archaeological team members kept combing his hair in front of the mirror, and his hair was pulled off strands by the comb. He was still laughing while combing his hair. It took a lot of effort for us to comb his hair. I snatched her comb off. As a result... "
Professor Zhang's eyes widened: "As a result, the team member changed into someone else's voice and told us that no one is allowed to touch her comb, otherwise they will kill someone. I thought she was crazy at the time, but who would have thought that we The next day, a female corpse was found in the ancient tomb, clutching a comb.”
