Tomb Robber: I, Chen Yulou, am dedicated to cultivating immortality!

"Go and see."

Chen Yulou put away his thoughts, finished the sixteen-word calculation, and glanced to the side.

Kunlun, who had been following closely behind, immediately understood.

Without any delay, he walked past the shrine in front of him and went straight to where the golden light of the magic mirror was shining.

It is paved with blue bricks half a meter square.

Well-arranged.

There was a thick layer of dust.

At first glance, it was clear that no one had ever set foot here.

This also corresponds to what Una said.

More than ten years have passed since Azhiya last came here to look for the sacred tree.

As for the bandits before, they were just lucky, most likely by accident, and entered the underground river from an ancient well in the city, went upstream, and arrived at the stone bridge.

of course.

This is just Chen Yulou's current guess.

When Huo Jia was asked last night, he couldn't explain it clearly, and only said that it was the foreign devils who led the way.

Perhaps there is more than one way to the underground palace.

At this moment, Kunlun stood outside the stone bricks and searched by the light of the fire.

Unfortunately, no changes can be seen from the outside.

After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly put the lantern aside, half-knelt on the ground, bent his five fingers slightly into a fist, and knocked on the floor tiles one by one.

At the same time, he listened attentively to the movements below.

See this situation.

Everyone around understood immediately and the noise stopped.

There are only four floor tiles in total.

Kunlun is extremely fast.

Three real and one virtual.

Only the floor tiles on the side close to the holy mountain produced an empty echo when knocked.

Kunlun's eyes lit up, but now he was cautious and did not act rashly. He just turned around and looked in the direction of Chen Yulou.

"Shopkeeper, I found it!"

Hear the words.

There was a sudden burst of low cheers from all around.

There was almost nothing else in the temple except the jade bead. This was simply unacceptable to the bandits who were only interested in making money.

There can't be three teams.

Two of them went to the city to pan for sand and pick up leftovers.

They came to the underground palace, but in the end, they got less than what they got, right?

"Can you open it?"

Chen Yulou and his companions walked forward quickly.

Sweep it away with the light.

The four floor tiles fit together tightly, and there is almost no sign of having been opened.

"Let me try."

Following the shopkeeper's instructions, Kunlun did not hesitate and started working directly. However, after trying a few times, the floor tiles seemed to have taken root and did not move at all no matter how hard he tried.

The main thing is that the floor tiles have obviously been polished with water. After blowing away the layer of dust, the tile surface is as smooth as a mirror, and there is really no grip.

If you press down.

But I'm also worried that it will be completely blocked.

Chen Yulou also saw the difficulty, so he took the bone knife from his waist and threw it over.

It served as a self-defense weapon for the Pingshan Corpse King during his lifetime.

Although it is just a short knife, the blade is as thin as a cicada's wing and can cut hair with a single blow.

After being soaked in corpse qi in the coffin for many years, it has already turned into a deadly weapon.

The only weakness is that it is easily broken.

However, after being re-refined by Li Shuguo and incorporating several kinds of secret gold materials, this only shortcoming was completely compensated.

It is not weaker than Xiao Shenfeng at all.

Even more amazing.

However, he now has many methods, and the bone knife has become an unnecessary item.

Take the knife.

Kunlun inserted it along the gap and then tried to use force.

just.

Wait until the blade is bent into a half-moon arc.

There was still no sign of the floor tiles moving.

"Shopkeeper, it still doesn't work..."

Kunlun didn't continue trying.

He follows the path of proving the truth through force, and is most sensitive to changes in force.

Been trying for so long.

He actually already understood.

The four bricks in front of us may seem simple, but in fact they are linked together. There must be a mechanism underneath, and it would be extremely difficult to dismantle them by manpower alone.

"I have gunpowder."

"Boss, if all else fails, just force it to explode."

Hear the words.

A voice suddenly sounded.

As soon as these words were spoken, they were echoed by countless people.

You must know that the Xiangling faction has always used every possible means, using big shovels and hoes, pulling with oxen and horses, using medicine, stones and earth cannons, cutting through mountains to make corridors, drilling through rocks to make storage, and even using external force to break down a solid wall of steel.

Because of Xiangling's methods, almost every guy in Changshengshan has special skills.

The man who was speaking was a miner who buried gunpowder and moved hills.

However, they were oppressed so badly by their superiors that they could no longer endure it, so a group of miners decided to riot, killed their leader and the mine owner, and ran away with the silver mine.

After being wanted by the government.

He had no choice but to become a bandit in Changsheng Mountain.

Originally it was just to stay alive, no one expected that in just a few years, the once huge empire would collapse, and overnight, the flag on the city wall would change.

The wanted warrant became a piece of waste paper.

But he had long been accustomed to the life of tomb robbing. After all, in troubled times, one could make a living anywhere.

Changsheng Mountain is unrestricted and has few rules.

Fight to death for several years.

If you save some money, you can go down the mountain and become a rich man.

Seeing everyone eager to try.

Chen Yulou shook his head.

The underground royal city of the Jingjue Kingdom is said to be the Queen's Palace, but in fact it is a large tomb dug along the Zagrama earth vein.

Thousands of years down the line.

It is extremely rare to be able to maintain it without collapsing.

But if explosives were used, the balance would be broken and it would be almost impossible to get inside.

"May Miss Una open it?"

Chen Yulou asked after looking at the figure holding the magic mirror.

Having seen the strange method of worshipping the mountain, he also wanted to see how the shamans actually opened the secret door.

"Ata used the formation-changing method..."

Una shook her head. "I can't get in touch with it for now."

"Change the formation? Illusion formation?"

Listening to her Chinese with a slight accent, Chen Yulou frowned slightly.

"It's a kind of witchcraft similar to teleportation. It requires the help of the earthly gods to accomplish this."

See him and ask.

Una explained again.

Transposition?!

When hearing these words, not only Chen Yulou, but also Queqiao Shao and others standing nearby could not hide their shock.

To be honest, I stayed in the Turkic tribe for several days that day.

I have also seen their altars and the ghosts and gods they worship.

In the minds of several people, he was no more than the Moba of Malu Village, mostly doing things like divination, praying to gods, and herbal medicine.

If we really want to fight for territory, we still need the hunting team to take action.

But now it seems that the inheritance of Shamanism is far beyond expectations, whether it is worshiping mountains and finding ways, or the witchcraft of changing formations mentioned by Una, it seems to be no inferior to Taoist magic.

Even weirder.

"Did you travel through the air?"

Yang Fang swallowed secretly, hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't help but ask.

He had seen magicians on the streets who could walk through walls, swallow knives, spit fire, and even create a living person out of thin air in broad daylight.

He had just come out of retirement at that time.

Was greatly shocked.

I even thought about taking those people as my teachers.

But when they saw him dressed like a gangster and with an aura that shocked everyone, the magicians immediately changed their attitude and refused to accept him as their disciple.

After hearing what Una said, what he saw that day subconsciously came to his mind again.

"Yes."

Oona nodded.

As the only wizard in the tribe, Ata is responsible for the inheritance, and many of the witchcrafts are beyond her imagination even.

Although she was young that day, she saw it with her own eyes.

Ata led her across the stone slabs, and as the light and shadow flickered, when she looked up, the surrounding environment had completely changed, and they were now on a long stone staircase.

It's like the road to purgatory.

She was extremely panicked.

But Ata just asked her to follow closely.

It was also at that time that she finally saw how the wizards of the tribe had obtained the sacred tree.

"It sounds similar to the secret wall-penetrating technique of the Laoshan Taoist sect."

"It's a pity that I can't see it with my own eyes."

Chen Yulou said with regret.

In the past, he might have thought that Una was talking nonsense.

But in fact, there is a similar Taoist method in the 72 Disha techniques, called "Stone-penetrating". After performing this technique, one can move freely through metal and stone without any obstruction.

There are both divine walking, walking on water and talismans.

Transparent stones must also exist.

It's a pity that since I found a piece of Disha technique in the Miao ancestral cave in the back mountain of Pingshan that day, so much time has passed and I have traveled five thousand miles from north to south, and I haven't had such an opportunity again.

"Then... Shopkeeper Chen, do you want me to invite the armored beast?"

Seeing that there was an obstacle ahead and the possibility of gunpowder explosion was denied, the old foreigner pointed to the bamboo basket behind him.

Since the two armored beasts transformed into monsters, their sharp claws could easily cut through stone walls, such as wind-eroded rocks. One claw could cut through them as easily as cutting tofu.

These floor tiles in front of me.

Although heavy.

But it just takes more time.

"There will be times when they will take action."

Chen Yulou shook his head.

After crossing the stone bridge, if you want to enter the Queen's Tomb, the door embedded in the cliff is as solid as a rock, and you must summon an armored beast.

"Can……"

The old foreigner wanted to say something else.

The next moment he was interrupted by Partridge Whistle.

"See that stone pillar? Come and help."

While Una was using the magic mirror to find the location of the secret door, he did not rest, but walked around with a lantern, studying all the sixteen stone pillars supporting the temple.

There are six eyes on each stone pillar.

They correspond to the evil spirit, stone sheep, Hu people, giant-eyed generals, guardian gods and... the blank space representing the imaginary space on the hexagonal base.

These were the same as what they had seen in the Black Tower last night.

Exactly.

The most important thing is that these stone pillars are grouped in four. By changing the symbols and rotating the stone pillars, the various abilities of the temple can be activated.

And he looked at it carefully.

What can be confirmed is that before them, no one had touched it, not even the Turkic wizards who had been coming and going here for many years. After all, for thousands of years, their only goal from beginning to end was the sacred tree under the ground.

Even the jade eyes were not taken away.

So it's very possible.

The current appearance of the temple's stone pillars is what the Jingjue people left behind.

On the four groups of stone pillars, the symbols of the patron saints are crossed and facing each other.

Then I thought of the fleshy snake egg that appeared out of nowhere on the dome before.

It's not difficult to guess.

Such an arrangement actually opens up the imaginary space.

The key to opening the stone gate lies in these stone pillars.

However, it is not easy for him to deduce it in such a short time by himself.

There is someone in the entire team who understands the art of Feng Shui.

It's just him and Chen Yulou.

So he decisively approached the latter and briefly told him his guess.

After all, they had each seen through the layout of this place before, and it was clearly in line with the sixteen dragons that penetrated the earth. As long as they found the real dragon, they could use the method of dividing gold to determine the location of the dragon's tomb and rotate the stone pillars.

Opening the secret door is not a problem.

What Partridge Whistle didn't expect was that when he was looking around for clues.

Chen Yulou has already deduced most of it.

Finally, with the joint efforts of the two.

The true dragon position emerges clearly.

That was the stone pillar he was pointing to at the moment.

"it?"

The old foreigner was still curious about what other methods Manager Chen had under the premise that gunpowder and armored beasts were not required and brute force was impossible to open the box.

Suddenly I heard my senior brother’s instructions.

Others couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"quick."

Partridge Whistle didn't explain much.

As he spoke, he had already walked to the side of the stone pillar. He had tried it before, and the stone pillar was so huge that it would require two people to surround it and exert force at the same time.

"okay."

I saw that my senior brother looked serious.

The old foreigner didn't dare to delay any longer and quickly walked to the other side of the stone pillar.

"Brother, what should we do?"

With his vision blocked by the stone pillar, the old foreigner couldn't see the senior brother facing him at all.

The words just fell.

A gentle voice sounded in my ears.

"To search for a dragon over a thousand miles, look for it on the left and right. Follow the yang for five steps and the yin will follow one."

Hearing these words that sounded like a prophecy, the old foreigner was even more confused and had no idea how to start.

"It means, turn five squares forward, then turn one square backward."

He was still in a daze when his senior brother's words finally came from the other side of the stone pillar.

"Do it!"

The old foreigner was cheered up and decided not to delay any longer.

The two men held the stone pillar and exerted force at the same time. It seemed that the pillar, which weighed at least several thousand pounds, actually began to slowly turn under their combined force.

This scene made the guys around look stunned.

They also thought that if there really was a secret door or tunnel, the mechanism that could be triggered might be hidden inside the temple.

But no one thought of the stone pillars.

After all, according to previous experience in tomb robbing, the mechanisms were either made of stone bricks on the wall or installed on objects such as lamps.

Everyone was still in shock when suddenly, a crackling sound was heard in the darkness.

Kunlun turned around suddenly.

The pupils shrank slightly.

The stone bricks that he had tried several ways to open before but failed were now dented, revealing a tunnel that sloped downward and was bottomless.

"The shopkeeper..."

He subconsciously informed Chen Yulou.

But when he turned around, he found that the shopkeeper was already behind him.

There seemed to be golden light in a pair of clear eyes, staring into the depths of the tunnel.

Kunlun suddenly realized something and immediately took a half step back. The towering figure silently protected him behind him, which also happened to separate the people who were rushing over.

Noticing his actions, Chen Yulou couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth slightly.

After this kid became enlightened.

Although he looks stern, his character has become much deeper than before.

Qingmu's spiritual eyes swept over, and the tunnel, which seemed pitch dark to outsiders, suddenly appeared clearly in his sight.

The hundreds of stone steps were dark and deserted, exactly matching the scene in my memory.

In his observation room.

Everyone has gathered around, looking at the hole on the ground in amazement.

“It’s really opened…”

The old foreigner also let go of the stone pillar, his face full of surprise.

But the most surprising thing was Una.

There was a strange gleam in his eyes.

Everyone else knew more or less about the methods of Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle, but during this journey, Una had never seen them take action. She only had a keen feeling that they might be powerful.

After all, no matter how stormy or dangerous the situation is.

Both of them always looked calm.

There is never a time of panic.

Before this, he had only seen it in one person, Ata.

But after all, he has been traveling to the Black Desert for many years and is very experienced. He also inherits the wizard's heritage and has many magical weapons to protect himself, so it is not surprising that he has such confidence.

Neither of them had ever been here before.

Be able to do this.

The only possibility for them to be so confident is... they have strength far beyond their imagination.

"Miss Una, behind these stone steps... is the Jingjue Palace, right?"
