"I have a clue..."

As he spoke, Weizard started walking in a courtyard to the left of the middle corridor. Soon, he found an anomaly on a two-meter square stone brick.

"The underside of this stone brick is empty!"

Weizard greeted Li Daoyi: "Taoist, come and help!"

The two tried for a long time, and in the end they vigorously rotated a pillar facing the "floor tiles" in a clockwise direction.

Hearing a sound of "cack bang bang", the stone bricks on the ground sank, revealing a bottomless tunnel.

"It's authentic again? I hate drilling holes!"

Li Daoyi looked at the dark tunnel entrance and mumbled a few words uncomfortably.

It seems that the previous expeditions in the underground space have left a deep impression on Li Daoyi's heart.

Seeing this secret passage, Weizard's heart was relieved, which meant that there was no error in his judgment.

After a brief greeting with everyone, Weizard suggested that everyone clean up first, and then go in after being fully prepared.

Just drink clean water and eat dry food.

During this period, Liu Ru curiously asked Weizard how he found the secret path

Weizard explained: "When surveying this palace, it was about 700 meters north-south and more than 200 meters east-west. But at the middle corridor, the distance was about 5 meters short! This is a problem..."

"Next, if you explore it more carefully, you will find the entrance to the secret tunnel."

Although this is simple to say, it is quite difficult to do. Without a clear map or rich experience, most people would not be able to find this short error of a few meters.

Everyone took a break, and then under the leadership of Weizard, they walked down the secret tunnel in the palace.

On the side below the entrance, Weizard found a tie rod made of stone, which can be opened by the mechanism.

Although more than a thousand years have passed, these organs can still be used normally, which is truly amazing.

Fearing that there would be other organs on the downward passage, the rescue team walked slowly at a very slow speed until they reached the end of the stone steps...

Suddenly, a huge corridor with a width of ten meters and a height of five meters appeared in the eyes of everyone.

Within this passage, the building materials are no longer those cyan stones, but are constructed with thousands of black stone strips 2 meters long, 0.5 meters wide, and 0.3 meters thick, with various paintings on them. Kind of weird brightly colored murals.

Perhaps due to the closure, the air in the corridor is not very circulated, which makes the murals still very colorful, without the slightest peeling off, and Professor Liu and others are excited to see it.

Professor Liu explained that the murals discovered this time and the carvings that everyone had seen on the screen wall before are major discoveries in the Greater Xing'an Mountains in the Northeast, and fill the historical gaps in the corresponding era.

Although these murals are recorded in exaggerated and mythological ways, they can shock the whole world!

Hearing Professor Liu’s excited voice in Weizede’s ears, his attention was focused on the murals on both sides of the corridor. This was because he could vaguely feel a strange atmosphere, if there was any danger. Perhaps some clues can be found in these murals.

However, all the contents recorded on the corridor murals are all religious ceremonies and the current construction process of this underground palace.

As everyone walked and watched, they stood firm before the last fresco. This fresco was painted with an unusually huge cave with a long and narrow path winding down and spiraling down the cave.

"This mural is too exaggerated!"

Liu Ru gestured with his fingers to the proportions between the huge cave and the slender path in the mural. He smiled and said, "If the painting is of normal proportions, then the big hole must have a radius of thousands of meters! possible?"

People of other ranks also talked about it, and no one took the information recorded on this mural seriously...

But Weizard has a completely different feeling. Since seeing this last mural, he has started to feel palpitations...

Gritting his teeth, Weizard forcibly suppressed the anxiety in his heart and led everyone to move forward.

The corridor is not very long. At the end is a sealed stone wall. Two stone pillars with patterns are erected on both sides of the stone wall.

Professor Liu looked around, and said in doubt: "... Is this a dead end? Perhaps, this corridor exists only to preserve those murals?"

The stone walls are extremely smooth, as if they have been polished manually, and the two stone pillars in front of the stone walls have six statues carved at the bottom of the pillars, and countless complicated patterns are carved on the pillars.

"Yes!"

After thinking for a while, Weizard's heart moved.

"The shape of these two stone pillars is exactly the same as the one I encountered before, but it is several times smaller... According to the principle of yin and yang relative, you only need to rotate the two stone pillars in a counterclockwise direction at the same time. !"

Weizard still greeted Li Dao's helpers, and the two of them rotated the two stone pillars at the same time in a very tacit understanding. When a sound rang out, the smooth stone wall in front of everyone opened in response.

This time, Li Dao took the lead one by one, and the rest entered in file.

When everyone came outside the stone wall, they used the "wolf eye" flashlight to look around.

Although this is a building located underground, the space here is very grand! The vertical distance between the zenith above the head and the ground is almost ten stories high...

Rows and rows of majestic stone pillars neatly support this wide hall.

"This is... the underground palace on the mural?"

Everyone immediately remembered the murals they had seen in the tunnel.

"... It seems that the patterns on the murals are not exaggerated..."

Liu Ru raised his head and said while looking up at the dome emitting a faint blue light.

In order to look carefully, everyone turned on all the lighting equipment they brought with them, and saw that the hall of the underground palace was covered with jade floors, and some jade products, pottery, bronzes, and bones were scattered everywhere in the corners. Ware and other items.

The most striking thing is the neatly arranged line of stone figurines standing along both sides of the central axis of the hall.

After careful inspection, everyone came to a mixed conclusion.

The worry is that the items left in the underground palace are extremely severely damaged by air erosion; the good news is that since there is flowing air in the underground palace, it means that there must be other passages in front of it, maybe a "seal" It's really hidden here.

When Weizard and others were discussing what to do next, the stone figurines in the line made a "click" sound and moved!
