Chapter 543 Too Magical
As the sky gradually darkened, the three of them left the cave.
When Mr. Qingwei learned that he was going to sneak into the bottom of the lake to find the dark river that led to the tomb, he patted his forehead - he should be able to think of this!
However, he soon felt relieved. He was not very interested in architecture, institutions, etc. All he learned was forced by his elders at home when he was young. Otherwise, he would not have gone to Yunzhong Palace to learn medicine.
"We have to hurry up, it will be dark soon. When we go into the water, we will be afraid that we will not be able to find the direction." Mr. Qing Wei also understood that there was no cover on the lake, and it was easy to be discovered after the daylight.
However, they are all unfamiliar with this place, and going into the water at night is actually not the best choice.
"Swim with Liangguang a while, don't fall behind." Si Haochen said instructed.
"Okay." Jun Che nodded.
"Oh." Although Mr. Qing Wei didn't know what "bright light" it was, let's talk about it first.
After Mr. Qing Wei held his breath and entered the water, he was surprised to find that his head was covered by a big golden bubble and he could breathe freely in the water.
And in front of him, there was indeed a light. It looked like a translucent butterfly, with golden red patterns all over the butterfly wings, and in the dark water, it was like a lighthouse, guiding them in the direction.
While chasing the "light", Mr. Qing Wei thought: Is this the existence of the apple that can't be seen just now, but chew on it? Aren't butterflies without teeth? Butterflies cannot swim in water, right? Isn't this a butterfly? (Linglong shook his wings proudly: Kid, do you have many questions?)
After swimming for about a quarter of an hour, they finally came up from a dark underground river. In the dark cave, there was only exquisite and glittering light that could shine a meter square.
Si Haochen used internal force to dry his clothes, looked at the complicated passages around him, and said to Jun Che: "Perfect the direction."
"Okay." Jun Che also dried his clothes, took out the hexagram stone to start divination, and then pointed to the direction: "Go to this side."
Linglong illuminated in front, and the three of them followed the light. Jun Che took the divination twice in a place with more forks and finally arrived at an entrance.
Mr. Qing Wei finally got a place to use his skills. After all, he was a lacquer sculptor and still had some understanding of the habit of designing institutions of our ancestors. He held the night pearl and searched in front of the stone wall.
"The keyhole is here." Mr. Qing Wei pointed at a hole like a natural depression in a stone.
Si Haochen observed carefully and found that the shape deep in the hole was indeed very consistent with Ruyi's head. So he took out the black jade Ruyi and inserted it into the hole, patted it hard, so that Ruyi's head stuck into the depths of the hole.
After a while, the heavy stone wall gradually stretched upwards, revealing a passage.
Si Haochen first used his internal force to shoot a few stones and tried it, but he did not touch any mechanism.
Jun Che took the lead in entering the passage, and Mr. Qing Wei followed closely behind. Si Haochen pulled out the black jade Ruyi, and the stone door indeed began to close. He quickly flashed in.
This passage is very long, but there is no fork, so there is no need to worry about going fork.
Si Haochen could feel that they were walking into the mausoleum, but they were walking in the passage and did not connect with the mausoleum. After walking for about two quarters of an hour, the corridor seemed to have reached its end.
Jun Che knocked on the stone wall with the hilt of the sword, making a crisp sound, and the back should be empty.
Mr. Qing Wei continued to look for the mechanism that opened the heavy door. After finding the mechanism, he said in a deep voice: "Be careful, I'm going to open it."
"Yes." Si Haochen and Jun Che both responded.
Mr. Qing Wei pressed the mechanism and the stone wall opened much faster than in similar situations. What followed was the sound of breaking the wind.
"Dang" Lao Tie took the lead, took advantage of the iron-headed advantage, and used his head to knock off the feather arrows. "Dangdang" Si Haochen used broken silver to knock down the other two feather arrows. Because of the exquisite illumination, there was no difficulty in dealing with the feather arrows.
"You back, I'll walk ahead." Si Haochen was the most powerful among the three.
"No need." Jun Che held the white jade sword in his hand and was still walking in the front. Neither Si Haochen had anything to do with both public and private affairs.
Si Haochen did not compete with Jun Che, but was only a little behind Jun Che. He held a long soft sword in his hand and was ready to take action at any time.
This secret passage was obviously designed by the Qi Diaoshi for the escape of the tribe. Apart from the initial feather arrow attack, there was no dangerous mechanism afterwards, and it directly led to the center of the mausoleum.
The imperial tombs can be opened before the Dragon Broken Stone is put down, because after the queen dies, she needs to open the tomb and bury it together.
Si Haochen found a small mechanism on the stone wall. After pressing it, tinder oil flowed in the cracks of the stone. When ignited with a fire slit, you can see a line of fire burning like a domino, burning rapidly along the pattern of the stone wall, quickly illuminating the huge tomb chamber.
In the middle of the tomb is a huge coffin, with a slightly smaller one on both sides. It seems that Emperor Muzong had two queens in his life.
Si Haochen took out the incense and candles and worshiped him. Jun Che also bowed. Mr. Qingwei didn't think about how these incense and candles came from now, and bowed directly. No matter what, it disturbed the tomb of the emperor of the previous dynasty. If he didn't bow, he always felt that it was not good.
After the worship, Si Haochen pushed open the lid of the outer coffin.
‘Swoosh’’ ‘Swoosh’’, this time the feather arrow shot from all around to the middle, Si Haochen and Jun Che waved the feather arrow with their swords.
Linglong instantly swelled up, spread her wings and covered the three of them under the butterfly wings. The feathered arrows hit the butterfly wings, and some of them could even smash sparks. But the translucent butterfly wings were very hard and there was no trace left.
Mr. Qing Wei only felt that everything he encountered today was very magical. He wanted to reach out and touch the dreamy but Si Haochen opened his hand with the hilt of his sword: "Linglong is a Gu Spirit."
When Mr. Qingwei heard the word "Gu", he knew that this beautiful big butterfly was probably more cruel than the green little snake - the drama was extremely poisonous.
It was not until the rain of arrows stopped that Linglong shrank to the size of a palm and landed on Baba's shoulder. Her small tentacles shook and seemed to be asking for praise.
After fighting side by side, Si Haochen got closer to Linglong and pointed its tentacles: "Be good."
Linglong flew around Baba, then flew towards the coffin, and carried out a golden nanmu box that was several circles larger than its body at this time: Baba, give it!
Mr. Qing Wei simply doesn’t believe what he sees. Are Gu Ling so smart?
Si Haochen opened the box, grabbed the national seal carved with a jade-colored dragon head inside, looked carefully, and confirmed that it was the "National Jade Seal", and then put it into the Qiankun Box.
