Xiao Yueye led Wu Tian and Zhou Dashan into the entrance of the imperial mausoleum without wasting any energy. WWw,QuANbEn-XiAoShUo,COmAfter they lit up the bonfire trough in the main hall, they were immediately shocked by the scene in front of them.
The main hall is very empty and closed. Apart from the bonfire trough, all that can be seen is a stone wall directly in front. What stunned Xiao Yueye and the others was the stone wall in front of them.
On this cyan stone wall, there is a golden five-clawed golden dragon, coiling proudly and intimidatingly. This dragon sculpture is so vivid and lifelike that if you look closely at it, you will feel like you are being stared at by this dragon. The light cyan totem was carved into the shape of clouds, and the golden dragon loomed in the clouds. Those sharp claws seem to be able to see the eerie light. Those pair of dragon eyes exude infinite majesty and domineering power.
Xiao Yueye exhaled a long breath, so awesome! I don’t know who carved this dragon, but the domineering energy contained in this dragon is enough to show that the person who carved it has deep skills.
He patted Wu Tian and Zhou Dashan twice, and the two of them recovered, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and could see the wonder in each other's eyes.
"What a marvelous craftsmanship!" Wu Tian sighed.
Xiao Yueye smiled softly: "I can't see the miraculous craftsmanship, but I can see the gold. How luxurious!"
He stepped forward and gently touched the golden dragon. This dragon was actually made entirely of gold, so Xiao Yueye said it was luxurious. He estimated that if it were not for the fact that this golden dragon was a mechanism for entering the imperial mausoleum, it would have been dismantled by Murong Liuyun and thrown into the treasury.
Wu Tian and Zhou Dashan also walked up and stared blankly at the golden dragon, but their attention was quickly attracted by the light blue cloud totem.
Wu Tian touched the totem carefully, his expression became serious, and finally he laughed loudly: "Haha, it turns out to be lapis lazuli, it turns out to be lapis lazuli!"
Zhou Dashan also showed an ecstatic smile on his cold face.
"Celestite? What kind of stone is it?" Xiao Yueye looked at the two of them doubtfully. Why didn't he realize that there was something special about this stone
Wu Tian touched the stone like a lover and said obsessively: "Celestite is a stone found only on the seabed. It is one of the hardest stones in the world. In the history of our Thousand Machine Sect, there once was such a stone. It's a pity that it was lost later. Master Xiao, let me tell you, the price of lapis lazuli of the same size is more than a hundred times that of gold! "
"So valuable?" This time it was Xiao Yueye's turn to be surprised, and the eyes he looked at the lapis lazuli became much more eager. He looked around restlessly, wondering how he could remove these stones without touching the mechanism.
But this is just a thought. Thinking about how Murong Liuyun could use the power of a country, how could he not find the lapis lazuli. He didn't let anyone cut it off, there must be a reason.
"Okay, two of you, let's open the mechanism and go in and take a look." Xiao Yueye said loudly, allowing the two elders to regain their composure.
He looked at the giant dragon in front of him, and touched the dragon's eyes, mouth, claws, and two dragon scales in order. These places looked no different from others, but when you pressed hard, they It will sink.
After Xiao Yueye finished, the golden dragon in front of him suddenly started to move slowly. If it was originally hovering in the clouds and full of domineering power, then at this moment, the dragon's body stretches upwards, as if it is going to fly through the nine heavens.
As the golden dragon changed, the place where the golden dragon totem was engraved slowly sunk down, revealing a gap. Xiao Yueye and the two elders looked at each other, then put out the bonfire and jumped in.
Soon, the stone wall returned to its original state, and the hall fell into darkness again.
Behind the stone wall, it seemed empty, and the sound of footsteps kept echoing here. Xiao Yueye and the others did not advance rashly, but lit the torch first. Under the firelight, there was still a long and narrow corridor ahead.
Xiao Yueye stopped and asked Wu Tian and Zhou Dashan to follow closely behind him, clearly seeing every step. Wu Tian and Zhou Dashan also understood that there might be many deadly mechanisms in this corridor.
That's right. According to the mechanism map written by Xiao Yueye, this corridor leads to the outside of the imperial mausoleum, and there are many mechanisms. However, these mechanisms are not very hidden, they are all in the stone slabs under your feet.
With the memory in her heart, Xiao Yueye carefully watched her steps. Under their feet were very ordinary bluestone slabs, some large and some small, scattered and messy. At this time, if you are not vigilant and careful enough, it is easy to make mistakes. One wrong step and it could very well be your life.
So even Xiao Yueye sometimes had to stop and shine a torch for a long time before he dared to take the next step.
After finally passing this level without any danger, an upward staircase appeared in front of him. At the end of the staircase was a copper gate.
Xiao Yueyue stood in front of the stairs, turned around and said to Wu Tian and Zhou Dashan: "You two, how is your Qinggong?"
"It's okay, Master Xiao, is there any mystery behind this staircase?" Wu Tian asked doubtfully.
Xiao Yueye nodded and motioned for the three people to put the torches together and shine forward: "You guys, counting from here, you must jump up the twenty-sixth staircase. Then jump directly to the top from that staircase. You can’t step on any other stairs.”
Wu Tian nodded. The mechanisms here are indeed full of traps, just like this staircase. The average person must be ecstatic when walking through the complicated corridor, but as soon as he steps on it, the mechanism will be triggered. And even a more vigilant person couldn't figure out how to go. If you think you can fly directly to the top, it will trigger the mechanism again. It's really insidious.
However, all these dangers turned into nothingness in front of the machine diagram.
Just as he was about to take action, Zhou Dashan suddenly said in a low voice: "It's strange."
"Junior brother, what's weird?"
Zhou Dashan took a torch and looked around: "There are no bodies, no traces of organs."
Indeed, Xiao Yueye and Wu Tian did not notice this problem for a while. Over the past few hundred years, it is impossible that no one has come to explore this imperial mausoleum. Those tomb robbers all have sensitive noses and would definitely not miss such a huge treasure. If they break in, there's no reason why they can all get through!
Even if the walkway is passable, the stairs here are not that simple.
But in front of him, there was nothing but dust. This is the strange thing about Zhou Dashan.
Xiao Yueye knew that Murong Liuyun had been here several times, but he didn't think that Murong Liuyun would have the leisure to send people to clean such a dangerous place. Then, there are only two explanations. One is that no one has been here except Murong Liuyun. The second thing is that everyone who comes here has a map of this place.
"Forget it, let's go in." Xiao Yueye shook her head and smiled lightly.
Wu Tian and Zhou Dashan nodded. Their curiosity about the unknown inside was far greater than their doubts about the lack of a body. According to what Xiao Yueye said, the three people passed the stairs one by one and reached the top.
The copper door was tightly closed, and some mysterious patterns on it looked so dark and unclear in this gloomy corridor.
Wu Tian gently touched the patterns, pondered for a while and said: "The patterns here seem to be a kind of sacrificial inscription in the legend, but I only heard it from the master, so I am not very clear."
If this is really a sacrificial text, then behind the door, I don’t want to know it.
Xiao Yueye tried to push the door, and as she expected, it was indeed very heavy. He summoned all his inner strength, and the door moved slowly.
It was still completely dark and nothing could be seen clearly. But there was a musty smell inside, and there seemed to be a lot of things there in the light of the fire, but it was a pity that they couldn't see clearly.
The heavy door behind me closed silently.
"According to the records, this should be the outside of the imperial mausoleum, and it is also the place where my mechanism map can finally reach." Xiao Yueye said calmly: "Although it is said to be outside the imperial mausoleum, I don't know if there are any mechanisms. Please be careful. ”
Wu Tian and Zhou Dashan are both experts at this, and they understand it without Xiao Yueye explaining it. The three of them were back to back, tense at all times, and immediately retreated as soon as there was not much left.
However, they walked for a while and found no mechanism.
"Wait a minute, there looks like an oil lamp on the wall over there."
Xiao Yueye and the others walked over, lit it with a torch, and then looked along the wall. Sure enough, there was an oil lamp every other step. The design of the oil lamp is very clever. It seems to have many small compartments. After the oil in each small compartment is burned out, the lamp will go out. After a while, the oil in the next small grid will be refilled for the next group of people. This is also the reason why the oil lamps here can still light up after Murong Liuyun came so many times before.
After all the oil lamps were lit, the room here suddenly became brighter, and everything around could be seen clearly.
"Is this the outside of the imperial mausoleum?" Wu Tian said to himself in disbelief.
No wonder he didn't believe it. Apart from being big, there was basically nothing here. There are just a few boxes, thick dust, and a stone tablet not far away.
Zhou Dashan stood up, took two steps forward, picked up something and came back, showing it to the two of them.
"It's a silver ingot." Xiao Yueye said quite unexpectedly. Logically speaking, Murong Liuyun should have taken away all the treasure here. How could there be a "fish that slipped through the net"
Wu Tian took it and walked to the oil lamp to examine it carefully: "It was made in the eleventh year of Huiyuan, and it is indeed a silver ingot from the previous dynasty. It seems that this was supposed to be a place to store gold and silver jewelry, but someone had already taken advantage of it. pity."
Xiao Yueye was not surprised by this result. Although Wu Tian said it was a pity, there was no trace of what he felt was a pity from his tone. He could tell from Xiao Yueye's words early in the morning that someone had been to this place for a long time. Moreover, that person's status was not low, and he was quite familiar with Xiao Yueye. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to give the mechanism map to Xiao Yueye.
So the purpose of his visit today was, firstly, to see the imperial mausoleum, and secondly, to continue moving forward with the terrain map in his hand.
"There are words on the stone tablet." Zhou Dashan's voice sounded.
