"Pealqiao Whistle" responded to the speed of speed. When he saw a golden armored warrior holding a mountain-opening axe in the shaft, he immediately shouted, his body popped up and pressed against the stone wall behind him. At the same time, he opened the golden steel umbrella to protect his head and face. The twenty-shot mirror box also pulled out from his waist, and sent the gun forward, rubbing the opening head with his left hand holding the golden steel umbrella, posing a posture of both offense and defense, and aimed the gun at the opposite golden armored warrior.

Why did the "Pealqiao Whistle" scream just now? It is because external kung fu has reached a certain level. If you do intense movements, you will make special sounds from your mouth. This is related to human breathing. If you don't shout, you will easily suffer internal injuries, not because you are afraid of yelling.

But it doesn't matter if the "partridge whistle" roars, which scared the priest Thomas, who had not climbed down the ladder, and slipped under his feet and fell off the ladder.

"Pealqiao Whistle" heard the sound of the wind on his head, and knew that someone had fallen. He hurriedly raised the golden steel umbrella and held the fallen American priest. Fortunately, the distance was not too high. Father Thomas fell to the ground by the arc-shaped umbrella of the golden steel umbrella. Although the fall caused pain in his waist and legs, it was not a big deal.

At the same time, the "Pealridge Whistle" also took advantage of the blue and faint phosphorescence to see clearly the golden armored warrior holding a mountain axe. It turned out to be a false alarm. The warrior was a lewd and evil painting painted on the stone wall. However, this painting is too realistic and the colors are also bright and dazzling. The warrior's body shape is similar to that of ordinary people, with a fierce face, a halberd, wearing golden armor, a golden helmet, and is extremely majestic. Moreover, the painter's craftsmanship is extremely exquisite. The movements of the golden armored warrior are full of tension. Although it is a static avoidance of the painting, the courage in the painting is about to come out. When you look at it coldly, it seems that you will break through the wall from the painting at any time.

At this time, Elder Le Chen also climbed down from the shaft and looked at the warrior mural and praised it one after another. Elder Le Chen and "Pealridge Whistle" carefully looked at the characteristics of the warrior on the mural. It can be concluded that this golden-armored general was a general of the Qin State at that time, named "Weng Zhong". He was extremely brave. Legend has it that even gods and ghosts were afraid of him. Since the Tang Dynasty, there were portraits of General "Weng Zhong" on the first tomb wall of the large noble tomb, just like the role of a door god, protecting the safety of the tomb.

However, this color portrait exposed to the outermost part of the tomb is easily eroded by air. Over time, the colors in the air paintings will evaporate as soon as they see them. Moreover, tomb robbers such as "Pealqiao Whistle" mostly enter from the bottom or side of the tomb when fighting, and rarely pass through the front tomb door. Therefore, I have only heard of this legendary tomb guarding general "Weng Zhong". This is the first time I saw it today, so I couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"Pealqiao Whistle" said to Elder Chen: "Master, this tomb of the Xixia people is indeed far-reachingly influenced by the Central Plains culture. Even the generals of the ancient Qin State copied it. It seems that the wall of the tomb guarding the general should be the stone gate of the ancient tomb under the Tongtian Great Buddha Temple. Our current location is already the Xuanmen."

Elder Le Chen raised the lantern, looked at the stone wall with "Weng Zhong" painted, and nodded, "There are door nails with nine horizontal and seven vertical lines on the wall, which is indeed a tomb door..." Before Elder Le Chen finished speaking, he saw that Weng Zhong, the golden armor on the stone gate flashed twice and disappeared.

Father Thomas entered this gloomy tunnel and was nervous. Suddenly, under the light of the horse lantern, the golden-armored warrior on the wall suddenly disappeared under his nose. He was shocked and crossed his chest.

Elder Lechen said to Father Thomas: "Western monks don't need to panic. The air here is gradually circulating, and the oil paints on the paintings are evaporated, and it is not caused by ghosts and gods."

Father Thomas was still in shock, and felt that there was a mysterious and strange aura everywhere in this place. Even the omniscient and omnipotent God probably didn't know what the world behind the stone gate looked like. It was really unlucky to be brought in by this *************. Maybe the underground world leads to Satan's territory, or there are werewolfs, vampires, zombies and other things inside. Although Thomas is a priest and has a firm belief, he can never change his fear when facing darkness. He often blames himself in his heart, thinking that his belief is probably not solid. Today's encounter may be a trial by God for himself, and he must try every means to overcome the darkness he fears. However, this innate psychology is difficult to overcome in a short period of time.

"Pealqiao Whistle" didn't have time to pay attention to the complex mood of the American priest at the moment. He carefully checked the mysterious gate of the ancient tomb and knew that this was a quicksander. The design principle of this tomb door was very clever. There was a lot of sand behind the tomb door. After burying the tomb owner, close the stone door from the outside, and there was a track under the stone door. When the stone door was closed, a large amount of sand would flow out. Automatically backfill the tomb passage behind the door, and use the power of quicksand to kill the stone door. The entire tomb passage was also filled with quicksand. In this way, while backfilling the tomb passage, the tomb door was also added with insurance. Although the stone door was not thick, it could never be pushed open from the outside.

However, then "Pealqiao Whistle" and Elder Le Chen discovered a small detail. This detail is easily overlooked, which is the gap under the stone gate, and there is no sand leaking out. Because no matter how clever and exquisite the Xuanmen is, there must be a little gap because there is a slide rail under the door. When the quicksand door is closed, a small amount of fine sand will always be squeezed out in the gap.

This situation of no fine sand clearly shows that the quicksand mechanism behind the door was not activated. If it is said that it is based on the burial of the deceased, it seems a bit incredible. However, there are no people buried in the tomb, and it is full of rare treasures from the Xixia palace. After the Xixia people are preparing to restore the country in the future, they will take out these things, so the tomb gate cannot be completely sealed.

This saves a lot of hands and feet. You don’t have to dig a hole to enter. Just push the stone gate open and you can enter the treasure cave in the tomb chamber from the tomb passage. "Pealridge Whistle" and Elder Chen and the American priest pushed the Xuanmen together.

The Xuanmen was not sealed, and the quicksand mechanism behind the door was artificially closed. Although the stone gate was heavy, the stone gate was not the kind of giant gate in the imperial tomb. It was just a barrier at the entrance of the tomb in the noble tomb. It was only a few hundred kilograms of force. Before the three of them could use all their strength, they pushed the stone gate open a gap, and its width could allow one person to enter and exit.

"Pealqiao Whistle" held a golden steel umbrella and entered the Xuanmen first. Then a fire spirit shot out. A flash of fire made it look clearly. There was no sand in the sand storage pools on both sides, and it was empty inside. The tomb bricks on the ground of the tomb passage were laid flat. "Pealqiao Whistle" knew that the more smooth and orderly the tomb passage was, the more hidden the crisis was hidden. There were probably hidden arrows, flying knives, poisonous smoke and other mechanisms in it.

Elder Le Chen also instructed the "Pealqiao Whistle" to be more careful. The Liushamen was not sealed. It was possible that the Xixia people were eager to run away and had no time to take care of it in a hurry. Anyway, the Great Buddha Temple has been swallowed up by the deteriorating natural environment. The ground is not marked. People who don’t know the truth cannot find it. It may also be a trap, which makes the tomb robbers entering the Xuanmen feel relaxed. As the saying goes, the Xuanmen is easy to enter, and the Xuandao takes his life. Some Xuanmen are thick and huge, and there are stone balls and quicksands behind it, but those are all hard work. As long as there is enough external force to intervene, they can be opened. The first thing is to be in the tomb chamber, and the second is the tomb passage. These two places are necessary for tomb robbers to pass.

"Pealqiao Whistle" naturally dared not be careless. After all, I had never entered the tomb of the Xixia people. I was concentrating my mind and walked forward on the tomb bricks. The length of the tomb passage was about twenty-three meters, and there was another gate at the end.

The situation near this gate is extraordinary. The gate is tall and wide, creating a circular arch like a city gate, occupying the cross-section of the entire tomb passage. The entire gate is carved of white jade without any patterns, and there are many Western Xia texts engraved on it. Although "Pealqiao Whistle" and others do not recognize what these words mean, they imagine it should be some kind of Buddhist scripture. There is a copper beam across the jade gate, and a huge lock is hung in the middle. There is no key. Behind the door, there must be a tomb chamber as a treasure cave.

Strangely, there is a deep arched round hole on both sides of the white jade door on the front, which looks very deep. The "Pealqiao Whistle" includes Elder Chen who has never seen such a cave in the tomb passage, but it is obvious that the two are exactly the same size. The round holes on both sides are artificial and very solid. The stone slabs on the four walls are as smooth as mirrors, and the height and width are about meter. They are definitely not a hasty task. They should have been pre-designed when they were designed. They are the same as the tomb.

Based on Elder Chen's experience, this may be a Taoist mechanism. After analyzing the "Pealqiao Whistle", "Pealqiao Whistle" said to Elder Chen: "There is a copper lock on the jade gate. The disciples are good at removing the locks. I am afraid that once the copper lock is destroyed, it will cause the ambush of the mechanism..."

Elder Le Chen waved his hand and said, "I think this lock cannot be opened. Installing a copper lock on the jade door is a bit extra. How can people who can enter the tomb be blocked by this mere copper lock? Legend has it that there is a core lock in the Northern Song Dynasty. Let's see if the lock body is connected to the jade door. If you move this lock, you will definitely have mechanisms such as toxic smoke to activate it."

"Pealqiao Whistle" did not dare to move the lock body, so she looked carefully and repeatedly. Sure enough, the copper lock was connected with the copper beam on the jade door. Not to mention unlocking the lock, touching the lock would trigger some kind of mechanism and be shot in front of the door. "Pealqiao Whistle" couldn't help but sweat coldly when she saw this. She had always been cautious. She was anxious for some reason today. If Elder Chen had not seen through the mechanism, she would have already been on the spot.

Elder Le Chen had already seen Duan Ni and said to the "Peal Mouth": "It seems that the Jade Gate is just a cover. Although the materials are so exquisite, it is a fake door and it must not be broken into the door. The arch holes on both sides must also have mechanisms. This ancient Xixia tomb is not large in size, but it is a very beautiful layout. If you want to enter the tomb chamber, you can only enter from the bottom of the tomb passage. No matter how eccentric the people of Xixia are, they cannot escape the influence of the Feng Shui and Five Elements Yin and Yang theory. The theory of this tomb passage only uses the four doors and four phases. If you look at the cat and draw tigers, the stone slabs on our heads and feet must be movable. You can enter the tomb chamber from below. If it is not expected, it should be the only entrance."

"Pealqiao Whistle" followed Elder Chen's instructions and opened the tomb bricks under the tomb passage one by one. Sure enough, it exposed a very large hole, leading directly to the tomb chamber behind the Yumen. The Xixia people's tricks of carving insects were indeed not as good as Elder Chen, the old Yuanliang, the back-fighting old fighter.

Still, the "Pealqiao Whistle" was holding a golden steel umbrella to explore the way forward. The three of them entered the tomb from the tunnel. A huge black stone was hanging from the tunnel, like a black beehive. The "Pealqiao Whistle" and Elder Le Chen didn't know what it was. They looked at it with the phosphorescence cylinder and looked like a stone and jade. They didn't know what it was, but they thought it was better not to touch it, and slowly rubbed it from the side.

As soon as I entered the tomb, I felt my eyes lit up. The pearls and treasures in the tomb, which were piled up into a hill, were as colorful as a mountain, and the blue light of the phosphorus cylinder seemed to be dazzling. The most conspicuous one was a coral tree covered with various gems in the middle. The secret treasures in the palace were indeed not common. There were countless scriptures, boxes of all sizes, and the good things in the Xixia Palace might be here.

American priest Thomas saw his eyes wide open and discussed with Elder Chen whether he could take out one or two things and build several church schools outside to find a place for the wandering children to eat and go to school to believe in religion.

Elder Le Chen said to the American priest: "What's wrong with such good deeds? But these things are national treasures and cannot be alarmed. I also had some family property before I became a monk. If I wanted to build a school, I could help me. Anyway, the four elements of monks are empty, and it would be useless to keep those yellow and white things."

"Pealqiao Whistle" is only concerned about "Ru Chen Bead". Although other rare treasures are exquisite, they are just like grass and paper in his eyes. They stepped on the jewelry all over the ground and walked forward a few steps. Suddenly, they stopped and turned to Elder Le Chen behind them and said, "Oh no, there is a dead person in this treasure cave."

Before, he judged that there would be no dead people in this empty tomb. Suddenly, when he heard the words of "Pealqiao Whistle", Elder Le Chen was also surprised and rushed to the front to take a look. He saw a white human bone in the corner of the tomb chamber. The skeleton was much taller than ordinary people. The white bones were holding a bunch of keys in their hands, and behind them was a pitch-black Thousand-Handed Buddha, neither stone nor jade, and the phosphorescence cylinder shone on it, with no light at all. It looked even more black and white, which was chilling.
