From Shusen University

Chapter 309 Entering the Imperial Mausoleum
"...that's the way it is."

After Su Yuzhu finished the last sentence, he took a deep breath: "I've said everything I can, believe it or not."

In front of him, the four people from Kunlun University who had just heard the narration looked at each other in dismay, secretly digesting the details of the words.

"I can't look away when I am attracted by something... As far as I know, there are some spells that should be able to do it."

Jiang Ling rubbed her chin: "But this means that there is indeed a magic circle of spiritual power in the tomb. Walking into the gate means that you have entered the range of the magic circle...or there is a spellcaster inside. .”

"And according to what he said, he came here more than half a month ago, but he only walked around inside, and it has been more than ten days since he came out..." Wu Hao next to him thought, "It sounds...very It's like the characteristics of the blessed land."

"I think so too, and the sudden disappearance of his companion without warning is also very similar to being pulled into the blessed land. But in this case, there is still a lack of a spiritual medium to connect to the blessed land..."

Jiang Ling thought for a while, and then asked Su Yuzhu: "You just said that the client gave you a fragment that is suspected to be a spiritual weapon. What exactly is it?"

"It's a cover." Su Yuzhu obviously hesitated, "The cover is made of bronze."

As if he noticed Jiang Ling's suspicious eyes, he pouted again and said, "Believe it or not. If you don't believe it, you can verify it with your black magic."

"That's what you said."

After Jiang Ling finished speaking, she used the Mind Control Technique cautiously again, asking him to repeat the process just now while being charged, paying attention to the differences from what he said before, in case the kid deliberately concealed it.

But unexpectedly, there was no difference between the two narratives. This Su Yuzhu looked at a stinky face, but he really didn't lie to trick them.

In other words... there are really living people in this mausoleum?And still guarding a piece of blessed land?Could it be that the "cap" that Su Yuzhu got was part of the spirit weapon?

A sense of strangeness swept over the whole body, and several people suddenly felt that the ground under their feet was a bit creepy.While thinking about it, he heard Xie Tianyang's voice coming from the side.

"If these are true, then for us, those shadows are not important, what is important is the structure of the mausoleum itself."

Turning their heads, they realized that Tian Yang had just finished commanding and was walking towards this side.

Looking at his appearance, it is obvious that he has been listening to the conversation here just now, and he has heard everything Su Yuzhu said.

"Listening to what he said just now, when he was stuck on the door of the main tomb, he didn't feel the lack of oxygen, and he could even scream. That means that there is air and aura in the tomb itself."

Xie Tianyang said this way.After coordinating with these archaeologists for so long, it was not for nothing.Facing Su Yuzhu's words, he immediately grasped the core of the problem.

"In this way, you can ignore the airtight issue and start thinking about entering the mausoleum directly. The airtightness is only to protect the buildings and collections inside from being damaged by the air, but if the inside itself is circulating, then what should be destroyed should have been destroyed long ago." It's been destroyed."

"If what I just said is true, then most of the preliminary archaeological work can be omitted directly. After the basic work is done, you can enter the main tomb as soon as possible."

Xie Tianyang looked around everyone: "I don't know when the soul-eating formation around the city will start, let alone the time difference between blessed land and reality. Let's go now, it's a little earlier."

With his words as a basis, everyone was quickly mobilized, stood up one by one, followed him, and walked all the way to the robbery cave.

At this time, all kinds of testing instruments have been set up around the robbery cave, and the blackout cloth and the spiritual barrier for isolation are also in place, which can be described as extremely luxurious.

If there is a rating for the burglary, this may be the most well-received burglar in history.

Originally, their purpose was not to remove the cultural relics, but to stop the Soul Eater Formation that might exist inside, as long as they could get in.The so-called predecessors planted trees and descendants to enjoy the shade. Since this hole leads directly to the interior of the imperial tomb, it is equivalent to a ready-made passage, so there is no need to use it for nothing.

As for those protection parts, according to Su Yuzhu's explanation just now, they have become unnecessary.This means that most of the preliminary preparations at the archaeological level can be skipped directly.

If the inside is really blessed, by the time they come out, the outside world may have already passed ten days and a half months, and this time difference is enough to complete other layout work.

Xie Tianyang stepped forward and exchanged a few words with the surrounding archaeologists, and it didn't take long for them to understand the current situation.

It can be seen that those archaeologists hesitated, but they finally agreed. After getting the basic emergency equipment, the five Kunlun University members who participated in the operation, together with Su Yuzhu who led the way, jumped out of the robbery cave one by one. Enter, enter the scope of the mausoleum.

The robbery hole is a straight earth hole tens of meters deep. After jumping down, you can see a thick layer of rammed earth that has been smashed through in front of it. It seems that there are still traces of quicksand. The results of the partners.

It stands to reason that tens of meters thick rammed earth and quicksand should be the most indestructible anti-theft measures outside the imperial mausoleum. It is estimated that ordinary people would have to dig a hole for a month.

Although I don't know exactly how they did it, but this saves the most troublesome steps in the early stage and gives a convenience.

The five people walked along the soil layer, passed an adobe brick wall that had been removed, and entered the corridor of the mausoleum.

The adobe-brick corridor was pitch black, with the smell of dust and a faint musty smell blowing over us.

Several people lit the firefly talismans for lighting, only to see that there was a square passage about four meters in length and width. Although it was not narrow, it was also not short in length. The earthy road extended into the darkness ahead, like It is a bottomless abyss.

"Let him be at the forefront and lead the way."

Xie Tianyang first glanced at Su Yuzhu: "I'm walking behind him, if there's anything wrong, I'll do it right away."

These words have two meanings: first, if there is any danger, he will be able to protect the other party immediately; second, if Su Yuzhu has any wrong thoughts, he will also attack immediately.

Su Yuzhu obviously also heard the meaning, and snorted, but he also knew his situation, so he didn't say anything.

So far, except for Han Jiangchen who is also a "spiritual man", he seems to have no good looks towards anyone.

"Then I will cut off the queen." Wu Hao said.

"No, you and Jiang Ling go left and right respectively, and let Han Jiangchen go last."

Xie Tianyang dismissed him with one sentence: "I don't know what evil things are in this tomb. Maybe, when we don't pay attention, there will be invisible things sticking to us. Since he can see those evil things, then Let him watch everyone's situation from behind, so that any problems can be found immediately."

"As for Yuan Qingqing, you should go in the middle, save your spiritual power as much as possible, and don't make a move unless necessary. If someone is injured, you need to step up immediately."

"What's more." He looked around, and then continued, "Later, everyone will concentrate their spiritual power on their feet, levitate forward, and try not to touch the surroundings. I don't know if there will be any trigger mechanism in this corridor. If you step on or touch it, you will be in trouble."

In a few words, he had already arranged the composition of the team and drafted the initial rules.

Although more than half of the people in the team were in a higher grade than him, at this time everyone automatically stood in line as he said, and their powers were suspended in the sky above them - they were all cultivators who had reached the Foundation Establishment, and flying had already followed walking as usual.

Su Yuzhu was at the front, and Xie Tianyang followed closely behind, conveniently pasting a magic amulet on his back to make him float together.Behind them, Jiang Ling and Wu Hao guarded Yuan Qingqing in the center, while Han Jiangchen walked in the rear.

In such an environment, the psychological pressure has risen sharply, and no one dares to be careless.

The five of them secretly mobilized their spiritual power, Xie Tianyang squeezed the chess pieces in his pocket, Wu Hao used his strength on his body surface, Jiang Ling expanded the scope of his spiritual consciousness to the maximum, Yuan Qingqing took out a few fire pills to hold them, and Han Jiangchen had already held on to them. With the sword in hand, the invisible spiritual pressure spreads in the passage, it seems that the dense aura has been forced back a little.

A trace of horror flashed in Su Yuzhu's eyes.Obviously, these people didn't look much older than him, but now, they gave him an unprecedented sense of oppression. Just standing there felt like a huge boulder was pressing on top of him.

He was quite surprised by the level of Han and Jiang just now, but now it seems that not only the two of them have not given their full strength, but also there are many people like them.

He couldn't help but shut his mouth, and the little bit of rebelliousness he had was suppressed on the spot, and he just obediently walked in front, leading a group of people inside.

The corridor is not tortuous, and the journey is fairly smooth. Occasionally, when encountering a few forks, Jiang Ling will immediately urge him to go in the right direction, so as to prevent this kid from leading everyone into the ditch. .

Although Su Yuzhu was quite upset about this, he didn't say much.

The journey was smooth and thrilling.It went smoothly because they hardly encountered any obstacles. Xie Tianyang's judgment allowed them to avoid all trigger mechanisms, which can be called a green light all the way.

It is thrilling, but it comes from what I have seen and heard along the way.

Although they did not have a trigger mechanism themselves, they saw countless crossbow bolts nailed to the wall on the road, and there were traces of quicksand and poisonous gas erosion in the corners. Every inch of the traces described what the people who came here had faced. .

After walking (flying) for about ten meters, they saw the first corpse.

The body has been completely turned into bones, half-buried under the soil layer of the road, the clothes are already rotten, and it still maintains the shape of raising one hand and opening the mouth, as if it is still struggling to break free from the quicksand. Is it the craftsman who stayed inside when the tomb was closed, or the predecessors of the tomb robbers hundreds of years ago.

Going forward, there are countless such bones: those without arms and legs, those with only arms and legs left, several skeletons entangled together, it is impossible to tell who belongs to whom, and even some bones are wearing military-style armor, maybe Xiang Yu or Which dynasty in later generations led troops to dig, but they all fell on the way forward.

For thousands of years, the Mausoleum of the First Emperor has been the ultimate life ideal of every tomb robber, but now this road has clearly shown the fate of trespassers.

This corridor of hundreds of meters is simply an exhibition hall for ancient and modern tomb robbers. Perhaps it can be renamed "One Hundred Ways of Death of Tomb Robbers".

Even if there are no cultural relics, just moving these corpses out will have revolutionary significance for modern people to study ancient clothing and biological composition.

But now the five of them couldn't care less about these things. They just looked around nervously, not letting go of any unusual details.

As they walked, Xie Tianyang's footsteps in front of the team suddenly stopped.

"...You guys, look at this."

Everyone followed the direction of his finger, and then their expressions changed.

At a fork, there are large swaths of mud marks densely covered there. The mud marks extend irregularly in all directions, melt into the soil and disappear, just like countless mud-stained wheels rolling by, but these wheels disappear into the mound out of thin air. forward.

Most importantly, these mud marks are still wet and look like they just appeared not long ago.

"This, isn't it?" Yuan Qingqing lowered her voice.

"On this, there is the monster power of the elf elephant." Han Jiangchen glanced over, and then quickly came to a conclusion.

"Well, it's not wrong, it's the trace left by the elf elephant." Jiang Ling nodded heavily, "There are so many corpses here, and the elf elephant is born from the breath of corpses. In other words, not long ago, there were a large number of elf elephants. The elephants ran out from here—the elves in the city may all have been released from this tomb!"

The group of people fell silent, everyone carefully suppressed their breathing, and floated forward silently.Until the end of the road, a special smell of copper rust poured into the nostrils. In front of the open fire, a copper door with a huge stone as a railing appeared in front of you.

As Su Yuzhu said, this is the entrance to the main mausoleum.Looking from a distance, there are still traces of some hard objects prying the door on it.

Although they had made psychological preparations in advance, the moment they saw the door, all five of them were terrified.

Because at this moment, in the darkness, the door that should be tightly closed has opened a crack!
