National treasure

As the evening approached, Zhong Zhe took a look at the sky. Although the sun was still hanging in the sky, it had lost much strength.

He picked up the white medicine bottle on the table, swallowed the small blue capsules, got up and checked his equipment again, tightened his sneakers, and set off.

The house was quiet, and Uncle Gao accompanied Ke Ke to go shopping at street stalls in the afternoon, and to eat at the night market in the evening.In the courtyard, only Cheng Ling was standing there, obviously waiting for a while.

Zhong Zhe came out of the living room, half-run towards him involuntarily, and stepped into the courtyard in a few steps.As the action was approaching, Cheng Ling saw a somewhat flustered look due to nervousness.

He looked at Zhong Zhe steadily, and when he came to him, he spoke calmly. Cheng Ling's voice was quiet and stable, "Just to find out the situation, don't worry."

Yu Hui sprinkled from behind him, and fell a few strands on the corners of Zhong Zhe's eyes. After a change of mood, Zhong Zhe always felt that although Cheng Ling was still as immobile as a mountain, when he looked at him, there was something different. of.

He responded with a smile, and Cheng Ling looked at him and said, "However, regardless of whether there is any danger or not, the discipline must be clarified first. At night, I will listen to your technical opinions, and I will listen to all decisions in terms of action."

Zhong Zhe nodded and hooked the corners of his mouth, "Understood, I will never dare to do it again."

The two drove a jeep to the mountains.

In the past two days, all the formalities have been completed in a hurry, and tonight is a good time to investigate under the darkness.

It was late autumn and the car entered the mountain road. The yellowed forests on both sides were colorful in the twilight, with overlapping shades, and the air smelled of rotting leaves.

Cheng Ling contacted the shit shovel officer in the car.

"You're already in place? Very good. Have you checked the surroundings? There are no suspicious people. Well, the ground is too deep and the environment is complicated. Communications should not be needed. Just do a good job of ground security and communication. In case we pass by Call for reinforcements before the point comes out."

When Cheng Ling arranged it properly, the car also arrived at the place.

Zhong Zhe got off the jeep and stood outside the red-painted city wall. There were only a few rays of sunlight left in the sky, and the full moon appeared behind the Minglou in the dark blue sky. Another day will be fifteen.

The cold air in the mountains gradually surrounds and penetrates into the skin.

Zhong Zhe looked away and saw that Cheng Ling was looking into the distance. In the faint night, a small team was moving towards them quickly. When they arrived, there were seven men and one woman in total, and all eight of them were wearing standard night clothes.

Everyone saluted first, and then an older, lean man with a Chinese face came out to greet Cheng Ling.

After listening to the report, Cheng Ling turned his head and introduced to Zhong Zhe, "This is the mobile team that assists us tonight. This is the captain, codenamed Zhang Yu. These are his team members."

The two sides reported their names and codes, shook hands one by one, and then they were ready to start action.

Zhong Zhe took out the blueprint of the mausoleum area and spread it on the car cover. As soon as he turned around, he saw Zhang Yu greeting the team members. What to bring, besides the original equipment of the action team, we teamed up and thought about it together, and I don’t know if it’s right. I thought, whether it’s useful or not, I’ll bring it first and then talk about it.”

Zhong Zhe looked at the various objects that had been placed on the ground, including Luoyang shovels, probes, hooks, claws, ropes, nets, and even gloves and gas masks. Although not all correct, but only from the attitude of the action group , has prepared very seriously, and he just wanted to praise his friends.

In the next second, Zhong Zhe saw it—how many candles?Followed by a bag of white glutinous rice?The painting style of the things that have been taken out so far has become more and more wrong.

While disgusted, Zhang Yu took out a bottle containing a scarlet thick liquid from his bag, followed by a black animal hoof, and finally there were two big white geese with their mouths and feet tied up.

Zhong Zhe couldn't help turning his head to look at Cheng Ling. Cheng Ling was leaning against the car, folded his arms and folded his chest, and was slowly turning his face away.

Zhong Zhe had no choice but to turn around again, Zhang Yu was looking at him with the whole team, Zhong Zhe began to have a headache, how should he speak.

Before he could open his mouth, Zhang Yu couldn't wait to say: "Comrade expert, you don't know, after this mission is issued, I heard that there is an opportunity to see the underground palace openly, and also come to treasure hunting or something, so everyone The guys were so excited that more than a dozen of our action teams broke their heads.

For this reason, everyone urgently organized an internal martial arts competition, and our team took a lot of effort to grab the opportunity.

To tell you the truth, because of the hard rule of age, this year is our last year in the action team. I have to thank you for giving us such a chance to drink in the rest of our life, even if we can’t say it out loud. We can secretly have fun from beginning to end. "

After hearing this, Zhong Zhe felt more and more difficult to speak. He had no choice but to look at Cheng Ling asking for help, and Cheng Ling walked to his side and stopped the scene directly.

Zhong Zhe thought for a while, and decided not to make a detour, and said directly: "Everyone, we are going to investigate underground buildings tonight. It may be an altar, a sacrificial hall, or some other place, or even a place that has never been known, but it is definitely not As you think.

The underground palace, Hades, coffins, tombs..."

Every time Zhong Zhe said something, the eyes of the people below lit up for a moment, making it impossible for him to continue.

"None of these will happen, and I'm afraid you will be disappointed. Our operation this time is not to disturb the sleeping places of the ancients, let alone to rob graves." He said, his eyes swept over the glutinous rice, dog blood, and black donkeys on the ground. hooves.

"The mausoleum of the underground palace is the resting place of the ancients. When it was designed, no living people will be allowed to enter, let alone a place for offering sacrifices and opening treasures. I know that you still don't know the specific content of tonight's mission. We It is not to dig treasures, but to verify whether an existing treasure will play a special role in a specific place.

So tonight, we are just going to find out whether this place exists, and if it exists, whether it can play the role of opening the treasure, or it is just a legend that the treasure has other secrets.

In short, tonight's operation is a formal exploration operation similar to archaeological research. In order not to alarm the public and the enemy, it was chosen at night. In addition, this underground building may be of a model that has never been seen before, and it is dangerous, so everyone's assistance is needed. action.Others are not as expected. "

After Zhong Zhe finished speaking, he really cried out, causing Zhong Zhe to feel a little sorry for everyone.

Cheng Ling suddenly said beside him, "Stand at attention."

Not to mention the sound of wailing stopped immediately, everyone was immediately full of energy and stuck straight on the ground like a bamboo pole, all of them raised their heads and chests, and there was no emotion on their faces.

"Listen well, let's talk about the situation that needs attention."

Just as Zhong Zhe was about to listen, he realized that Cheng Ling was looking at him, and he realized that this was for him to talk about the dangers he might encounter tonight.

"Well, after entering, you may encounter two dangers. One is the unknown influence of time and the natural environment on underground buildings; the other is whether it is possible to set up traps for trespassers when the ancients built them. If so, such traps and The indiscriminate anti-theft mechanism that is always in the underground palace should be different, and it is more likely to be used to screen qualified people to enter the sacrificial place. It is mainly these two types."

Seeing Zhong Zhe finished speaking, Cheng Ling continued: "After the operation starts, keep vigilant at all times. You are all experienced hands. I don't need to emphasize the discipline and safety of the operation."

Cheng Ling looked at Zhong Zhe again, meaning if he had anything to add, Zhong Zhe thought for a while and said, "I wish you a smooth operation tonight!"

"The operation went well!" Everyone nodded.

Next, Zhong Zhe roughly explained the route and the direction of the investigation based on the map of the mausoleum area, and then led everyone straight to a corner of the mausoleum area.

When he arrived at the gate of a temple, Zhong Zhe first explained the situation, "This is the hall of enjoyment, which is used to sacrifice to the ancestors. It can be understood as a place where the living people sacrifice to the dead. Later generations are allowed to enter according to the ritual system.

This is the safest place to enter the mausoleum, and according to the information gathered by the excrement shovel officer, someone has checked here at night recently, and it should be the most likely to start from here. "

In the night, people filed in and passed through the gate. Under the huge moon, the majestic three-story Xumitai towered like a mountain. The broken stone carvings and railings showed a barren scene. Yu.

The group members were divided into three groups, with left and right guards, and the two cut off their tails, and quickly entered the hall with Cheng Ling Zhongzhe in their arms.

Without Zhang Yu's instructions, the team members turned on the strong searchlights in an orderly manner, illuminating the emperor's throne, treasures, clothes and other things enshrined in the center of the temple.

After the action team entered the hall, they first ruled out all dangers, and then guarded according to their respective directions.

Zhong Zhe took out the incense from the package he carried with him, first offered incense to the gods enshrined in the temple and saluted, and then began to investigate.

After observing the entire hall, Zhong Zhe fixed his gaze on the various musical instruments displayed in the hall.

Cheng Ling followed his gaze, "What's the problem?"

"It is mentioned in the other party's information that the mausoleum sacrifices in the Ming Dynasty did not play music, which is different from previous dynasties."

In the Ming Dynasty, there was no need to play music when offering sacrifices to the emperor's mausoleum. Obviously, it is rather strange that these musical instruments are displayed here.

Zhong Zhe stepped forward to check, and then said: "It is also mentioned in the recorded documents that the etiquette system of the Ming Dynasty is that if there are musical instruments displayed in the palace, then 'the musical instruments will not move', that is to say, once the musical instruments are placed somewhere, they will not move." , and can no longer move.”

On the tables displayed on both sides, there are bells, special chimes, chime bells, chime chimes, Jiangu, Chi, Pai, Xun, flute, flute, qin, se...a complete set of utensils for performing Zhonghe Shao music for sacrifices. Neatly placed, the number of categories is so large that it is dazzling.

Zhong Zhe thought for a while, and the officiant instruments were bells and chimes. He suddenly thought of the saying "golden sound and jade vibration".

Zhong Zhe had an idea, raised his head and said to Cheng Ling, "Wei, do me a favor."

"How to do it?"

"See the special chime displayed on the right side? It's the long piece of jasper musical instrument hanging on the first. You take the chime hammer, wait for me to say one, two, three, and then strike together."

Zhong Zhe himself hurried to the first bronze clock on the left side. He stood beside the bronze bell, picked up the bell hammer to calm himself down, and shouted loudly: "One, two, three!"

Gold and jade vibrate together, and the sky rules the earth.

In the quietness of the night, the sound of gold booming and jade singing is long and long, which has the effect of the ancients saying that it reaches the sky and descends to the nether world.

However, after the sound, nothing happened.
