queen's captive gl

After the stone gate is the real underground palace.

The front hall of the underground palace, golden-roofed pavilions, red door beams, nine pillars standing dragon and phoenix surrounded, a dragon-headed carriage in the courtyard, thousands of lifelike generals and warriors, surrounded by boxes of gold, silver and jade, gold and soft, rare Treasures, such luxurious funeral objects are really jaw-dropping.

Ni Yiyi, Su Jin, Qian Mo and others walked around to investigate, while Gong Ziling was very interested in the murals carved on the wall, looking at them one by one to see the merits and virtues of the tomb owner's life, while Wan Qixue and Qiange stood together Before the inscription, read the above records carefully.

This is indeed an emperor's mausoleum. It is the tomb of Yizong Duanmuzhao, the No.12 emperor of the previous Xia Dynasty.

"This is actually the tomb of Yizong of the former Xia Dynasty!" Unexpectedly, Gong Ziling exclaimed.

"Why did people in Jianghu know that the imperial mausoleum of the former dynasty is hidden in the flame order?" This question has been lingering in Su Jin's mind, puzzled.

Ni Yiyi is also puzzled: "This is the place that makes people wonder. It is clearly said to be the treasure place of the old masters of the martial arts, but it turns out to be the emperor's tomb, and this emperor's tomb was patronized 30 years ago. Is it the army in the southern border, the rivers and lakes, the army, the tombs of the former emperor? This question has been involved again!"

Qian Ge speculated: "According to the inscriptions handed down from ancient times, this imperial mausoleum has a history of 150 years. The treasure in the tomb is naturally the burial object of the previous king. It was opened once 30 years ago. The intruder did not want to seize the treasure. There should be another reason for taking money."

Gong Ziling echoed: "That's right, it was a battalion that came here 30 years ago. If they wanted to move things away, they would have moved them all away. How could they keep them today?"

"Perhaps the people back then didn't find the entrance to the underground palace. All of this is just a misconception, connecting everything together, and imagining it."

"Jiu You Lone Wolf, if we really went to the wrong place, why are you not in a hurry?" If she still has no doubts about her by now, she is too slow.

Facing Qiange's scrutinizing gaze, Qianmo smiled coldly and ignored it.

"I didn't expect you to have so much information and clues. Just continue to look up the answers right in front of you. Let me see how smart you are!" Wan Chengxue looked wanton, more like waiting to see a good show.

There is a door in the front hall, which can lead to the living room, which is the mausoleum of the owner of the tomb.

Apart from the fact that this door is made of steel, there is nothing unusual about it. There is only a mechanical winch on the door. Niyiyi didn't say a word, but pressed her hand on the winch. After a while, the steel door turned and opened slowly. The pungent rancid smell floated from behind the door. After smelling this smell for the first time, I didn't want to smell it for the second time.

Dead bodies, the long tomb path was full of skeletons in military uniforms. Such a scene made Ni Yiyi, who had been around the rivers and lakes for many years, feel a shivers down her spine, and said in horror, "We have found the Tie Xiao Camp that was missing back then!"

"I didn't expect this door to be opened so easily!" Su Jin said. Compared with the one just now, it was a narrow escape.

Niyiyi calmed down, and said: "There is no mystery in this door. The mechanism in the tomb is to prevent tomb robbers. If the first door is opened, all the funerary objects will be stolen, and the second door will be opened." It is easy to open, but the road ahead may not be easy.”

Behind the steel gate was a place where corpses piled up, covering the tomb passage. No one expected this, and no one dared to take a step forward. There was no place to set foot on the ground itself!

Qing Ming looked at them coldly, "Why don't you leave, are you afraid?"

"There are hidden secrets in this place. If you act rashly, you will die. If you are in such a hurry, you might as well kill us directly!"

"You—" Qing Ming stared at the handsome young man in front of him, feeling angry.

"You are Gong Ziling. The God of War general of the Chen Kingdom uses his troops like a god to win a hundred battles. Unfortunately, you are in the wrong place. A person like you deserves to die on the battlefield!" There was a glimmer of approval in Wan Qixue's eyes.

"Haha, to be able to unify the 36 states and 72 villages in Mobei, and to be able to compete with Nanli's 20 troops, Her Majesty's art of war is no longer a problem. If there is a chance, I would like to see it!"

Gong Ziling was the first one who showed no fear in front of her and dared to laugh out loud, and he was indeed a character.

"Sacred Envoy Qinghuang, go and clear a way."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Qingming and Huangying each took out a bottle, opened the stopper, and dropped a drop on the skeleton, a puff of smoke rose, and in the blink of an eye, a corpse turned into ashes and disappeared.

"This is corpse water." Su Jin said.

Qian Ge shrank his pupils, and immediately shouted "Stop!" But how could Qingming Huangying listen to her, Qian Ge turned to Wan Chengxue and said, "This army came to the tomb 30 years ago, and why did it die here? Yes, don't you want to know?"

"I don't want to." Two simple words.

Qian Ge looked at her, and suddenly sneered, "It's not that you don't want to, but you already know what's going on!"

As soon as these words came out, not only Wan Chengxue looked at her, but Ni Yiyi and the others also looked at them.

"When we came in, the entrance was about to be sealed, but you insisted on going forward, without worrying about whether you would be buried alive. When you knew that this was the tomb of the former Xia emperor, you were not surprised, because you You have known this place for a long time, and what happened here, how could you not know?"

Wan Tengxue's eyes showed appreciation, "That's right, you are so observant and thoughtful, you really can't bear to die! The secret you want to know is inside, why don't you go in and see for yourself?"

It didn't take long for Qingming Huangying to clear a path with corpse water. They walked in along the passage. There were several holes in the walls on both sides of the tomb passage, and there were various ancient figurine jars inside. Niyiyi looked at them one by one. I feel something is wrong, but I can't say it. "There are no traces of struggle on the tomb, including the steel door. There are only two possibilities. One is that these soldiers died voluntarily, and the other is that they were killed quietly."

Gong Ziling responded: "I think it is the first theory. There is only one scar on the bones, which is on the neck bone. It should be left by suicide. The marks are very deep, which means that the determination to commit suicide is very strong."

"Suicide?" Su Jin was surprised, "Since they can walk in safely, they can go out naturally, why commit suicide, and... this is a tomb passage, not like a place for burial..."

Saying that they have come to the end, the last door is made of golden nanmu. After a hundred years of history, it is still immortal in this dark underground. Such a large piece of golden nanmu is more valuable than pure gold in a sense !

The facade of this door is smooth without traces, and there is no knocker. There is a small stone lion on each side of the door, and a door plaque is hung on the doorway, engraved with three words: the gate of life and death.

Niyiyi lingered in front of the door, "Life and death, one side is life, the other side is death, it is only in one thought."

Su Jin swept her eyes to the left and right, "There is no mechanism on the front of this door, could it be that there are hidden mechanisms on these two stone lions?"

Niyiyi sighed, "This is where the difficulty lies. Two stone lions represent life and death. If you make a wrong choice, there is no turning back. It's really a headache!"

"We have no turning back, Miss Ni, just do as you want." Gong Ziling said.

This is a kind of helplessness, but it is also a kind of trust.

Qingming concentrated her mind, knowing that the third gate was extremely dangerous, how could she let these people make fun of His Majesty's safety, bowed to Wan Qixue and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you let Qingming try?"

"Go."

Niyiyi's eyes showed cunning, and she automatically stepped aside, "The Holy Envoy of Qingming is good at tricks and tricks, and she is ranked in the top three in the world list, which is why Her Majesty the Queen took her to the tomb. "

"Usually smart people die fast, do you know why?"

Niyiyi rolled her eyes and replied: "The little girl is stupid, she still wants to live a few more years!"

Qing Ming took a closer look at the two stone lions one by one, and walked up to the one on the right, "On the surface they are exactly the same, but people have come and gone here before, so they can't be the same after all."

Rolling up his sleeves, Qingming put his right hand into the lion's mouth, and felt it lower and lower. Niyiyi and the others looked at the atmosphere and dared not show it, some were staring at Qingming's every move, and some were staring at the gate.

"Ah, damn it!" Qingming exclaimed, and everyone's hearts rose to their throats following her exclamation, only to see Qingming's outstretched palm cut a wound. I breathed a sigh of relief.

Qingming frowned and said: "There are sharp weapons hidden inside." It really hit her in the face, there is no mechanism inside.

Huang Ying bandaged Qingming's wound, and said casually, "What's going on? The agency is just trying to fool people."

"Sharp weapon?" Niyiyi took another look at the blood from the wound on Qingming's hand, which was still red, and muttered to herself: "A non-toxic sharp weapon, have we overlooked something..."

"We did overlook one point..." Gong Ziling looked back at the long tomb passage with a solemn expression, "The second door behind us is made of steel, which is invulnerable to swords and guns. The third door is made of golden nanmu, which is invulnerable to all poisons. , in addition to being resistant to corrosion, it is more insect-proof, it's like—"What is intentionally trapped in it?

"Shut up!" Wan Qixue said indifferently, listening carefully.

They all know that the queen of Mobei has profound skills, and her sense of hearing must be better than theirs. They don't know what they heard.

In fact, they don't need to guess, because they have heard it too.

"Bang" a pottery figurine rolled down and smashed to the ground. Many beetles crawled out of the figurine, twice the size of ordinary beetles. "No, they are corpse insects. Don't let them crawl on the body!" Niyiyi exclaimed, so that's the case, she should have guessed it earlier, the front hall is the funeral room, but there are so many pottery figurines placed on the tomb passage for no reason, there is no mechanism in the stone lion, but a non-poisonous sharp weapon. It is waiting for someone to reach in, and after the cut, lure the corpse insect to wake up with blood!

The faces of the people changed, Huaying and Huangying were the first to bear the brunt, and the long swords and short blades prevented the corpse insects from crawling over, but soon more and more corpse insects crawled out, on the ground, on the walls, and even on the top of the head, densely packed, they The speed is very fast and they are not afraid of death. Even if they are people with extremely high martial arts, one person and one hand cannot stop thousands of bugs after all.

Qing Ming knew something was wrong, and wanted to rush to help, but was grabbed by Ni Yiyi, "You have an injury on your hand, and the corpse bug will only go crazier if you go over."

Qing Ming froze for a moment, then threw herself at Wan Tuxue's feet, trembling: "Your Majesty, something bad happened to your subordinate, please kill me!"

"Huh!" Wan Tuxue waved her sleeves, but said coldly to Gong Ziling: "If you can't think of a way, I will feed you to the worms one by one." He didn't even look at the corpse worm.

"You know this underground palace better than we do, don't you know this mechanism—" how to crack it?

"She really doesn't know, otherwise we wouldn't need us to come in and be a scapegoat!" Qian Ge interrupted Gong Ziling's words, she didn't want to anger Wan Tuxue at this juncture, she spoke coldly and arrogantly, but she never said nonsense.

Qian Ge walked up to the stone lion on the left, just stretched out his hand, but was held back by Su Jin, "Junior Sister, don't move, let me come." After she finished speaking, she wanted to reach in, but Qian Ge held her hand, and looked at the lion. Mouth said nothing.

Over there, the corpse insects crawled closer and closer, and everyone was anxious, but Wan Tuxue and Qian Ge didn't change their expressions, and they didn't look anxious at all.

"I understand!" Qian Ge suddenly realized: "Even the most skilled experts who know how to use mechanisms can't crack this mechanism, that's because - there is no mechanism at all."

No agency?Everyone suspected that they had heard it wrong. If it wasn't for such a critical moment of life and death, they would have asked carefully.

Qian Ge walked to Nanmen, pushed with both hands, and miraculously, the door opened.

"Go! Let's go inside." Niyiyi was overjoyed, for a moment she thought she would die here.

With the Nanmen closed again, it was impossible for the corpse insects to crawl in. They were all relieved. Fortunately, no one was injured. If they stayed for a while, it would be uncertain!

Could it be that Qian Mo frowned, she was not afraid of any ferocious beast, but she was startled by a small bug today.

Niyiyi was undecided, and said: "It was really dangerous just now, the person who designed the mechanism is really amazing, there is no mechanism...Qiange, how did you know?"

"There is a mechanism, but it is not on the door. As long as we open the second door, get injured or touch the stone lion's mouth, we will trigger the so-called life and death barrier. And this door...in addition to the insect-proof function, it is used Come to fool people!"
