The ladder leading to the next floor of the underground palace is very narrow.

The ladder body is cast in iron, divided into five sections, turned and down, connected by a rotation axis. When the Yin-Yang Pool rises, it pulls and closes, and when it falls, it naturally folds and stretches into a ladder.

Such exquisiteness, Wumei, who had little knowledge, was amazed and amazed. There were so many things in this hall that stunned him.

Large and small stone lumps of gears are all over the walls and tops on the ground, and are connected by ropes made of iron wires, and are connected vertically and horizontally. A large stone platform in the center supports two stone pillars of the stone hall on the upper floor. They are cylindrical, roulette-shaped, spherical, and all kinds of things that he is not famous for.

One of the two guards who had come down to observe before reported to Wang Yan that when the above mechanism was touched, the mechanism in the hall was rotating, which was obviously connected to the above.

Wang Yan nodded and looked around with his hands behind his back: "This is like a spider web. I look a little dizzy. Can Peizhi understand?"

Lan Jue said: "I am ashamed of the organization, I really know nothing about the organization."

There was nothing else in the hall except the mechanism. There was a door hole on one wall leading to another hall. The guards reported again: "Sir, there is something in the hall on the other side of the door."

Wang Yan raised half of his eyebrows and looked at Zhang Ping: "Is this the door you mentioned? But it didn't close it."

Zhang Ping bowed and said, "When I say it to you, there is the outer hall with a bronze statue above. The door mentioned by the lower official should be on these two walls."

He signaled to the walls on both sides of the stone platform, bowed and asked for instructions, walked to the side of the stone wall, took out a bag of fine white grass ash, sprinkled some along the bottom of the stone wall, crawled on the ground, blew the air at the ashes, and then got up to the stone wall facing this side, sprinkled again, and then blew again.

The traces of fine ash appeared different from the wall just now, and some of them entered a gap that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, showing traces.

Zhang Ping took out another small bottle of oil and poured it out along the trace, and the oil slowly penetrated into the trace.

Zhang Ping stood up and said, "Sir, the door is here."

Everyone approached, Wang Yan raised his hand and pushed the stone wall. Zhang Ping said, "Sir, if you put this door down, it should not be opened."

Wang Yanning continued to look at the stone gate, and he knew the whole story of this mechanism in his heart.

The dead woman pressed down the mechanism, opened a hole in the dome, and a stone slab would inevitably fall.

This is what Zhang Ping said: If there is opening, there will be closing.

The stone pillars rise and the false stone coffin are all ways to divert attention. It is like throwing out a bone to lead the dogs to chase them, and using the stone coffin to lead the criminals back to the ground, making them completely unthinkable that this mechanism was to close the door.

The woman did not activate other mechanisms, so she should have closed the door smoothly. There are eight directions of the rotatable ground, corresponding to the eight directions of the rotatable stone wall, and many combinations can be produced. After activating the maze array, it is too time-consuming and too risky to open the mechanism.

Wang Yan also knew very well about how Zhang Ping inferred these things.

When this kid entered the door, he saw the dome and thought that after the hole on the top opened, a stone slab must have sunk.

The holes on the dome are the same shape as the stone bed, and they are both long. This shape, when vertically erected, is a door.

Then, based on the location of the top hole, you can determine the location of the door leaf. The door must be on the walls on both ends of the narrower stone bed.

Very simple.

But he was noticed by others in the hall, and hurriedly checked it, and let the kid take the lead.

Wang Yan knocked on the stone wall again: "Break the two pillars and pry out the stone platform stuck on it, and this door can be pried up."

Zhang Ping said: "My lord's method is very correct, but this stone door weighs more than a thousand pounds, so it is not easy to pry it up."

Wang Yan said, "A single mechanism can lift two large pillars up, but can we, a bunch of living people, still not be able to pry a door?"

The guards next to him immediately said with great force: "Nei Yi will go up to spread the word of Lord Jun!"

Zhang Ping bowed again: "The official speculated that this door only blocked the passage here to the back of the door, and there was still a mouthful elsewhere."

Wang Yan's expression subsided: "How can you see it? Can you find it?"

Zhang Ping said respectfully: "The officials have only speculations, and they are still to be confirmed."

Wang Yan narrowed his eyes: "If you use Feng Tai's words to go back and forth to the headquarters, I will kill you."

Zhang Ping didn't say anything, Wang Yan waved his hand: "Since you have thought of it, go up quickly. The sky fell and the headquarters was in the office. Why are you shrunk? Just do it boldly."

Zhang Ping bowed to take the order, and Lan Jue said in a gentle voice: "I haven't seen the hall next to me yet. There may be other clues. Should I take a look first?"

Wang Yan said oh, and looked at the door: "Well, I'll go up together after seeing that hall. If you miss half of the clues, you may make mistakes."

Zhang Ping stopped again and followed Wang Yan and Lan Jue into another hall.

There are also some ropes above the hall and on the walls, but the room was much empty just now. In the center, there is a stone-built round pool.

The guard said to Wang Yan: "Sir, please look in."

The round pool was filled with copper coins. Most of them were Xiaoping, and the two were cut. Wang Yan grabbed a few of them and saw the engraved words, including Xiyong Tongbao, Zhaosheng Tongbao, etc., all of them were Chu Dynasty coins. He couldn't help but smile and said, "After digging for so long, we are still looking for treasures."

Lan Jue also picked up a few Xiaopings: "The Chu Dynasty has many coins. When the previous dynasty founded, three or five Chu coins could be exchanged for the founding currency of the previous dynasty. They were often used by children in the market to sew shuttlecocks. Now it is difficult to sell at the price. Only during the reign of Emperor Guang, Xuanyuan Shen Palace was rebuilt and the year name was changed to Dao Sheng. The imperial pen personally wrote the four types of Dao Sheng Tong Bao Kai, Cursive, Li and Seal. The coins were circulated all over the world. Now the people often used them as Yan Sheng coins, and even boiled them as medicines. It is rare, especially the seal script, which is worth about a thousand coins."

Wang Yan immediately said to the guards: "Hurry up and look for it inside, especially the holy money that Lord Lan said. After gathering all the money in the pool, I wonder if I can get enough of dozens of gold."

No wonder the group of criminals were going to smash the can on the top of the pot. It seems that there is no other financial resources left with Wang Zhen.

It may also be used to fix these institutions.

The guard reported to Wang Yan again: "Sir, there are inscriptions on the wall over there." He held a lantern to illuminate a stone wall. On the wall, there were several lines of handwriting, like a place where a naughty boy or a tourist used bricks to draw the marks on the pavilion pillars, and there was no rhyme or confrontation.

The door opens to welcome guests, and people come and go; the sky and you all know how to understand, so you can’t blame me for this matter.

Signature of gold person ten.

Wang Yan frowned: "What is this?"

Wumei was amazed: "It's great to draw such a way on a stone!"

Wang Yan sneered: "What kind of kung fu, fossil powder, etc., are common tricks used by scammers in the world. It seems that some thieves have visited here. Even this trip has been written on the inscription. So when a person dies, he puts a coffin in the soil and burys it. Don't make any gold and silver treasures, and make up the mechanisms of this and that. The more he tweaks, the more he is missed, and the more he is digging every day. However, a few rotten bones and a pile of rotten meat are unknowingly no longer able to get rid of it."

Wumei kept silent and prayed silently in his heart. Wuliang Heavenly Lord and Wuliang Dharma, don’t blame him or her. The Minister of the King came to capture the tomb robbers, to make peace behind His Highness. He said a few unintentional words. His Highness has a lot of things, so don’t worry about it...

Lan Jue looked up and down at the lines of words: "This book may not be engraved by tomb robbers..."

Wang Yan and Zhang Ping looked at him together.

Lan Jue continued to look at the eyes: "The person who wrote the inscription should not be called Jin Ren Shi, but Zhong Huigu."

Wang Yan, Zhang Ping, and Wumei were both puzzled.

Lan Jue said: "Zhong Huigu is a great master of the agency. This man was appointed as an official at the end of Chu. He worked as a supervisor in the Ministry of Works. Because of his unruly words and deeds, he was repeatedly impeached. Later, he became an official and retired, and his name was Zhong Hongzi. The layout of some cities in the border areas and the defense of the city walls of our dynasty are mostly based on his book "Geotechnical Guidelines"."

Wang Yan suddenly realized: "Oh, it's the one who keeps talking every day."

Zhang Ping also nodded. He had heard of the name Zhong Hongzi. It would be no surprise that the stone hall mechanism would be so exquisite.

Wang Yan copied the hand: "The thirteenth word of the golden man is because Zhong Huigu intentionally wrote only half of his name? If you look at the meaning of these lines, the old man is resentful. It seems that it is because of insufficient money or other reasons, the Xuan Palace has not been built in full according to the plan, so the old man angrily left the book and left. Later people may think that these few words are often human, and they are quite in line with the atmosphere of this temple pretending to be a god and a ghost, so they are not removed."

Zhang Ping agreed with Wang Yan's speculation and nodded again.

Wang Yan waved his hand again: "Forget it, when the case is completed, I will inform the Ministry of Works again that the authorities here should be worthy of their viewing."

Lan Jue smiled: "The Master of Drama is definitely very happy."

Wang Yan said, "See if he thanks me."

Everyone checked the other part of the stone hall carefully, but there was nothing else to find. Zhang Ping found another mechanism that could extend another ladder, and the stone door above could only be opened from inside. When they drilled out of the door hole, they were actually the gap between the black stone tablet and the white stone tablet at the entrance.

They suddenly emerged from the ground, startling the guards who were left behind. Lan Jue turned around and looked at the closed hole and sighed: "The tombs are all sealed step by step, but there are gates everywhere here, which is really mysterious and strange."

Zhang Ping stared at the ground thoughtfully.

A few people left the stone palace and returned to the ground along the corridor. As soon as they reached the entrance of the cave, the sun shone brightly, the blue sky was clear, and there was no trace of idleness. A guard came to report to Wang Yan, and another excavation was made, and the stone bed at the dome of the underground palace had been dug.

Wang Yan went to the pit and looked at it, then compared it to the direction. The stone bed faced south and north.

Looking back on the location in the hall, Zhang Ping calculated that it was not bad at all.

This is also the location of Pu's house back then. The underground corridor first stretched diagonally and then turned slightly, connected to the two underground palaces, and formed a bend and turned back.

The Pu family must have already calculated that the sarcophagus rose up and happened to be in their house or yard, avoiding disturbing others.

At present, Wang Yan still has two doubts.

1. Why did the criminal bring the woman up again? He didn't just throw her in the tomb? Later, he had to spend an extra time putting her into the stone coffin.

2. What is behind the sealed stone door at the bottom?

He asked Zhang Ping who walked to him: "Where is the other entrance and exit you mentioned?"

Zhang Ping expanded a map and asked Wumei to help him pull it and point to a place on the map.

"The officials guess that they should be in this position. Please allow the officials to go and verify first."
