Hidden evil

When Wu Xie crawled out of the small room, most of the tomb passage was buried by sand and stones. Wu Xie could only kneel on the ground and crawl out from the sand and stones, but the flowing sand would always sink him, his hands and feet Knees were scratched by sharp stones hidden in the sand.

In the darkness, only the searchlight above his head could see a little distance in the distance. Wu Xie crawled for a while, step by step, and then suddenly pressed empty with his hands, and he fell directly from the sandpit that suddenly appeared on the ground .Wu Xie felt that he had fallen from a hole with an uneven surface. Before he could react, there was a sharp pain in his chest. He had already fallen to the ground. Wu Xie quickly untied the flashlight from his waist and pressed it on. Another tomb passage, both ends disappearing into darkness.As for himself, his whole body was covered with cuts from the stone ridges in the hole just now. Wu Xie turned off the spotlight on top of his head, moved his body with difficulty, and made sure that he didn't hurt any bones. He got up from the ground and looked around with a flashlight.

The hole where he fell was still rustling and falling some sand and stones from time to time. Wu Xie stood aside, the flashlight swept the ground, and a stone slab that was broken in two fell to the ground. He knelt down and touched it. He touched the stone slab, then touched the stone wall next to him, his brows were wrinkled, and Wu Xie showed a trace of doubt on his face.Just when Wu Xie was about to squat down to check the broken stone slab again, there was another sound of sand and stones falling from the hole where he fell. The tomb passage is full of stones of various sizes, even half-human-sized ones. If Wu Xie can fall, the stone will fall naturally. If he is hit by this thing, Wu Xie will have to stay for others to guard the tomb this time The door is closed.

Just as Wu Xie stood aside, a black shadow fell out of the hole, but the black shadow stood upright on the spot, like a person, Wu Xie's scalp tingled, thinking it was the zongzi in the main tomb just now Climbing out, the flashlight in his hand fell to the ground, and the chaotic light elongated the figure of the other party and projected it on the tomb wall. Almost subconsciously, Wu Xie immediately took out the pair from his waist. The black shadow was about to shoot, but the other party stepped over and pinched Wu Xie's hand holding the gun. The other party not only had great strength, but immediately made Wu Xie lose the strength to pull the trigger, and the temperature of the palm of his hand It was so cold and frightening, Wu Xie didn't think much about it, he took out a dagger from his leg bag with the other hand and greeted him, seeing that the dagger was about to stab the opponent, Wu Xie always thought it was a zongzi The figure suddenly spoke.

"it's me."

It was Zhang Qiling's voice, Wu Xie's hand holding the dagger trembled, and Zhang Qiling almost couldn't stop stabbing it. Fortunately, Zhang Qiling raised his hand and held Wu Xie's wrist to avoid being disfigured by Wu Xie.Just at this time, the flashlight that fell on the ground stopped shaking, and the faint light shone on the two of them. Wu Xie finally saw each other clearly, it was indeed Zhang Qiling, and he looked at Wu with a blank expression on his back. evil.Wu Xie breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this person is really dumb, why didn't he reveal his identity at first, if he had acted faster, Zhang Qiling might really be a zongzi by now.

But seeing Zhang Qiling, Wu Xie suddenly had a feeling that he was saved, but in fact Wu Xie can go out by himself, although it will take a lot of effort, but there will be no fear of his life.Pulling his hands out of Zhang Qiling's hands and putting away the gun and dagger, Wu Xie bent down to pick up the flashlight that fell on the ground, and squatted down in front of the broken stone slab to look at it.

Zhang Qiling walked over and squatted next to Wu Xie, he also looked at the stone slab, Wu Xie touched his chin and murmured in doubt

"How could it be different?"

"There are two tombs here."

"what?"

Wu Xie didn't expect Zhang Qiling to talk to him. He turned his head and looked at Zhang Qiling suspiciously. In the dim light, Zhang Qiling's deep eyes looked at Wu Xie through the bangs on his forehead. Wu Xie felt uncomfortable when Zhang Qiling looked at him. Moved back and away from Zhang Qiling.Unexpectedly, Zhang Qiling followed Wu Xie and moved over. He touched the broken stone slab with the two unusually long fingers of his right hand and said to Wu Xie

"There should be two tombs here. The one just now was designed to deceive people and make people think it was an empty tomb. In fact, passing through this tomb passage is the real ancient tomb you are looking for. The person who built this tomb back then People left this tomb passage with the intention of allowing future generations to worship their ancestors, but it left a loophole for the tomb robbers. We just touched the mechanism, and an unknown number of huge boulders fell from the top of our heads, and the stone slabs that originally covered this tomb passage were removed. When it was smashed loose, the tomb passage was exposed."

"No wonder, when I first entered the ancient tomb, I always felt that there was something wrong there. It turned out to be a blindfold. Then we can go there to find the real ancient tomb?"

"This way."

Zhang Qiling casually pointed to the left, Wu Xie looked at Zhang Qiling suspiciously, and asked coldly

"Why are you so familiar with this tomb? How do you know that the tomb just now is fake, and you also know that the real tomb is right next to it."

"When the mechanism was activated, those stones would hit the ground, and there would be empty noises in some places. The empty noises over there weakened into dull noises after a while, indicating that the tomb passage over there was solid, while the ones on this side The noise is louder, and the end may still be empty, that is the direction where the real mausoleum is located. Even if it is not a mausoleum, it is still possible to escape.”

Zhang Qiling answered Wu Xie's question calmly, Wu Xie still looked at Zhang Qiling suspiciously, the two of them stared at each other in silence for a long time, Zhang Qiling's expression remained unchanged, Wu Xie stood up and glanced at Zhang Qiling, and turned towards the direction Zhang Qiling pointed Walking, Zhang Qiling followed Wu Xie, looked at Wu Xie's wounds all over his body from the stone edge, frowned and shook his head gently.

This tomb passage is not long, and two mausoleums were supposed to be built at the beginning, and the one just now seems to be quite large in size, already occupying a lot of area. If the other tomb is really below this, it will never be too far apart.After Wu Xie and Zhang Qiling walked for a while, they came to the end. At the end was a stone gate, half of which was covered by sand and stones. Wu Xie turned off the flashlight in his hand, turned on the spotlight on his head, and walked over to pick up the sand and stones. , and then pushed the stone gate again, but the stone gate remained motionless, Wu Xie pushed left and right again, but there was still no response.Just when Wu Xie wanted to try another direction, Zhang Qiling suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed on the stone gate. Wu Xie stopped his hands and looked at Zhang Qiling. Zhang Qiling's fingers were pressed against the stone gate as if he was groping. What, Wu Xie looked at Zhang Qiling suspiciously, wondering what he was touching.

Zhang Qiling groped through the entire stone gate, Wu Xie wanted to ask what Zhang Qiling was wasting his time, but Zhang Qiling suddenly inserted his fingers towards the place on the right side of the stone gate where it connected to the wall, Wu Xie watched helplessly as Zhang Qiling's fingers were just like that It was directly inserted into the middle of the stone crack, and with a slight click, the seemingly unshakable stone door suddenly bounced inside, and it was just opened.

Wu Xie looked at the door and then at Zhang Qiling, and suddenly felt that this scene was so familiar. He felt as if he had seen someone open the door like this before.Zhang Qiling took a flashlight from his waist and took a look inside. Sure enough, there was another passage. He raised his hand at the door and felt it. There was flowing air, it seemed that the inside was not closed.

"Put on the gas mask. It hasn't been opened for a long time. The air is not clean. Put this on."

Zhang Qiling turned his head and told Wu Xie, and then he took off his coat and threw it to Wu Xie. When Wu Xie's jacket fell out of the hole just now, it was scraped into a beggar's clothes. Bought together, Zhang Qiling's figure is not much different from Wu Xie's, so Wu Xie's clothes fit well.

Putting on the clothes casually, Wu Xie was just about to put on the gas mask. When he looked up, Zhang Qiling had already slipped into the door. Wu Xie quickly put the mask on his face and followed Zhang Qiling in.

"Brother? You don't wear a mask?"

"No, I can hold my breath. I can't feel the changes in the air with the mask on. When I can breathe, I'll ask you to take off the mask."

"So awesome? How long can you hold it?"

Wu Xie looked at Zhang Qiling in surprise, Zhang Qiling glanced at Wu Xie and didn't speak, just continued to walk forward, Wu Xie made a fist behind Zhang Qiling and wanted to hit Zhang Qiling, but Zhang Qiling suddenly looked back, Wu Xie Hastily put down his fist and touched his head, pretending to adjust the searchlight on his head.Zhang Qiling looked behind Wu Xie, and then at the surroundings before continuing to walk with Wu Xie.

This time they didn't go far, Wu Xie and the others began to see the traces of the mausoleum. Before Wu Xie had time to get excited, he suddenly stepped on something under his feet, and only heard a click, and bursts of waves came from the darkness in front of them With the sound of breaking through the air, Zhang Qiling turned around fiercely, hugged Wu Xie and pressed Wu Xie to the ground.

"Fuck me!"

Wu Xie was suddenly thrown down by Zhang Qiling, and he almost lost his breath when his back hit the ground in pain, he pushed Zhang Qiling to get Zhang Qiling up, Zhang Qiling pressed Wu Xie to the ground again with all his strength and said in a deep voice

"Don't move, it's a crossbow mechanism, don't move if you don't want to be shot into a hedgehog."

Sure enough, because Wu Xie was lying on the ground, the spotlight on his head happened to see a large piece of phoenix flying over their heads. Out of the corner of Wu Xie's eye, he saw Zhang Qiling's face. Even if the situation was so critical, Zhang Qiling There was no fluctuation in his eyes, and under the influence of Zhang Qiling, Wu Xie's nervous mood gradually calmed down.The mechanism ran for more than ten minutes before it stopped. Wu Xie touched the cold sweat on his forehead, turned on the flashlight and took a look behind them. A large piece of sex fell to the ground, and the walls were all scratched by arrows. .

"Damn, I was in a hurry to go out, and I forgot to offer incense to the patriarch. I stepped on such a low-level mechanism."

"Don't walk around, follow me."

Zhang Qiling didn't seem to hear Wu Xie's chanting, nor did he blame him for accidentally stepping on the mechanism just now, but just grabbed Wu Xie's shoulder and lifted Wu Xie up, and the two continued to walk forward, Wu Xie was embarrassed to walk around again , he could only obediently follow behind Zhang Qiling, this time he was more careful and followed Zhang Qiling step by step.

Let Zhang Qiling lead the way, Wu Xie thought so in his heart. Seeing Zhang Qiling's familiar route without any pause, Wu Xie could only think that Zhang Qiling was leading the way. Wu Xie walked slowly behind Zhang Qiling. The depressive mood in the ground was greatly relieved, because Wu Xie felt that following Zhang Qiling would not be dangerous, and it would be easy to get out.However, Wu Xie was still a little disappointed. After preparing for so long and wasting so much manpower and financial resources, he finally came to nothing.

Just when Wu Xie was feeling sorry for his equipment and the money he had thrown in, Zhang Qiling who was walking in front suddenly stopped. Wu Xie poked his head and saw that they had come to a tomb door again. Pointing to the door, he signaled Zhang Qiling to hurry up and open the door. Zhang Qiling looked at Wu Xie and blinked, then turned around and walked to the door with a blank expression, and touched the whole door as before. He directly pressed a brick on the outer wall of the stone door with his fingers, and there was a dull vibration, and the stone door slowly slid to the left. Wu Xie stretched out his head and looked in. He thought he would see another tomb passage, and he might be able to walk to the end. After digging a hole and going out, who knows that there is a tomb behind the stone gate, a huge coffin is placed in the middle of the tomb, and there are many funeral things piled up around it, Wu Xie swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and patted Zhang Qiling's shoulder vigorously .

"Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang, here... is this the real main chamber of this mausoleum?"

Zhang Qiling grabbed Wu Xie's hand to prevent him from beating her shoulder.

"Ah."

"How do you know to go this way?"

"Guess."

Slapping Wu Xie's hand away, Zhang Qiling took the lead and walked into the tomb, Wu Xie hurriedly took the flashlight and followed in, Zhang Qiling walked to the coffin and turned back to Wu Xie and said

"Help me light, I will open the coffin."

Wu Xie clicked, and took off Zhang Qiling's flashlight from his waist. He held two flashlights in both hands to help Zhang Qiling illuminate.Zhang Qiling touched the edge of the coffin inch by inch. After a circle, he pushed the lid directly, and the lid fell off, revealing the inside. A pure white coffin fell to the ground with a dull sound.Wu Xie went to the side of the coffin lid and lifted it with the back of his feet, but found that he couldn't move it at all. He stood still and kept looking at Zhang Qiling, trying to figure out how his seemingly thin body made him feel so heavy. The stone cover was pushed away so easily.

Zhang Qiling continued to carefully grope around the pure white coffin. Wu Xie heard slight creaks coming from the place where Zhang Qiling had groped, and he curiously moved to the front of the coffin to check what Zhang Qiling had touched. It's different, but just as he approached that coffin, he felt a faint cold air coming from that coffin.Wu Xie was taken aback and stepped back abruptly. Zhang Qiling raised his head and looked at Wu Xie suspiciously. He didn't know what he was doing in such a sudden surprise. Wu Xie pointed to the coffin and stammered.

"Then...the coffin, why is it getting cold air? Is this coffin a refrigerator? It has been so many years, and there is no electricity in this tomb, so why is the refrigerator still cold?"

"..."

Wu Xie babbled nonsense, Zhang Qiling didn't respond, just buried his head and continued to grope for the coffin, Wu Xie realized what he just said, let alone that there was no such thing as a refrigerator in ancient times, even if there was one, like him As I said, there is not even a single wire in this tomb, so how could it be possible to keep this "refrigerator" running for hundreds of years.Seeing Zhang Qiling ignoring him, Wu Xie felt that his behavior just now was a bit too cowardly.Wu Xie spurned herself in her heart. In the past, no matter how weird the coffin she saw, she was not so cowardly. How come she suddenly became cowardly when she was around Zhang Qiling.Then Wu Xie thought that he was the boss, and Zhang Qiling ran to open the coffin before he even opened his mouth. In order to cover up his cowardice just now, Wu Xie put the flashlight on the edge of the coffin, and stretched out his hand Going to help Zhang Qiling open the coffin lid.

Unexpectedly, Wu Xie's hand had just touched the coffin lid, and he almost jumped up again, because this time he really felt that the entire coffin lid was cold, Wu Xie forced himself to press his hand on the coffin lid and watch. Zhang Qiling asked with difficulty

"Brother? Do you feel it? This thing...damn it, it's cold, and it's still steaming?"

"This is called cold stone, similar to the legendary cold jade. The physical temperature is lower than the environment we are in. Because we are underground, our skin is more sensitive and sensitive to temperature changes, so you feel it is cold."

Hearing what Zhang Qiling said, Wu Xie pressed his palms on the coffin lid, and found that it was indeed not as cold as he felt just now, so he calmed down.

"Help lift it up."

Zhang Qiling stood on the other side and beckoned Wu Xie to help lift the cover to one side. Wu Xie hurriedly lifted the edge of the cover with Zhang Qiling and leaned on the side. The two backed away in a tacit understanding the moment the cover was lifted. Take a few steps to prevent the corpse gas in the coffin from rushing out.After the faint turbid air dissipated from the coffin, the two walked back to the coffin and looked inside.

A well-preserved female corpse wearing a bright red wedding dress lay quietly in the coffin. Presumably because the coffin was made of cold stone, the outer skin of the female corpse seemed to be elastic. The contrast between the white clothes and the white coffin made Wu Xie dizzy. Isn't this the emperor's tomb?Why was a woman buried?Even if she is the empress and wants to be buried with the emperor, why is there only the empress left now? Could it be that the emperor went to visit the imperial concubine?

Wu Xie frowned and looked at Zhang Qiling. Zhang Qiling took the flashlight on the coffin and handed it to Wu Xie, and then he attached himself to check the funeral objects on the female corpse.

Holding the flashlight, Wu Xie accidentally saw a jade slip placed under the head of the female corpse as a pillow. Wu Xie pointed to Zhang Qiling. Zhang Qiling gently lifted the head of the female corpse with his index and middle fingers. Wu Xie stretched out his hand slowly. Pulling out the jade slip from under the head, he asked Zhang Qiling to wait before putting the female corpse's head down, and walked to the east of the tomb, picked up an amphorae and walked over, motioning Zhang Qiling to raise the female corpse's head too high, Wu Xie will The ear pot was placed under the female corpse's head to prevent her from falling back due to the loss of the jade slips as a foil.

Affected by the cold stone, the jade slips were also cold. Wu Xie carefully put the jade slips into his backpack, and Zhang Qiling took out several valuable funerary objects from the female corpse. Wu Xie smiled, showing all his teeth. They took them all one by one and carefully packed them into their backpacks.After tossing about for more than half an hour, after putting everything in place, Wu Xie looked back at the funerary objects scattered on the ground and said to Zhang Qiling

"Brother, let's take these things out first, and then ask Wang Meng to bring people in and take them out."

"That's too late."

"what happened?"

Wu Xie looked at Zhang Qiling suspiciously, not knowing the meaning of his words, Zhang Qiling stood up straight and said to Wu Xie

"When I took the jade slip away just now, I felt something slightly vibrated at the bottom of the coffin. It should have touched the organ."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier!"

Wu Xie looked at Zhang Qiling in horror, all the traps were touched, this person was still in the mood to touch other queens all over here, and he was not afraid that the emperor would rush out from any corner and bite him.

"That should be a timing mechanism. When the hourglass is over, this place will be closed."

What Zhang Qiling didn't say is that if it were someone else, they wouldn't be able to feel the slight vibration just now. Ordinary tomb robbers would definitely want to get all the things inside out of greed, thus delaying time and making the mechanism start. When the time comes, there is no escape at all.But Zhang Qiling was different, any slight change could not escape the induction of his fingers.The jade slip had just been taken away by Wu Xie, Zhang Qiling felt a slight vibration through the female corpse, he immediately knew that the mechanism had been touched, and was ready to deal with it, but there was no trace of any mechanism being touched, borrowing Wu Xie Xie put the ear pot in neutral, Zhang Qiling saw the hourglass he was talking about, and thought of the principle of the mechanism.

"Where's the hourglass?"

Wu Xie looked at Zhang Qiling angrily. There was such a big girl lying in the coffin, so there was no hourglass for timekeeping.Zhang Qiling pointed to the coffin wall facing the top of the female corpse's head. A funnel-like relief was carved on the surface of the coffin wall. Inside the relief, some fine grains of sand were slowly falling down. There are not many left, if it is as Zhang Qiling said, this place will be sealed immediately.

Wu Xie was so aroused that he almost swears again. It was a critical moment, but he didn't think of running away first, and pointed to the hourglass to let himself watch the excitement.

bang

Before Wu Xie opened his mouth to swear, there was a loud noise from the side where they came in. Wu Xie swept the flashlight and found that the stone door was sliding out and closing quickly by itself, ignoring the priceless things scattered on the ground Wu Xie pulled Zhang Qiling and ran towards the door, but Zhang Qiling suddenly pushed Wu Xie hard behind Wu Xie's back, and pushed Wu Xie out from the door that was about to close, Zhang Qiling With too much force, Wu Xie fell and slid on the ground for a long time before stopping. He hurriedly looked back, just in time to see Zhang Qiling twisting his body and slipping through the cracks that were about to close together. Coming out, for some reason, Wu Xie's entire back was wet with cold sweat. He was about to ask Zhang Qiling why he pushed himself out first, but there was a strange noise behind him, Wu Xie's back muscles tightened He directly took out □□, rolled on the ground, got up and looked behind vigilantly.
