"This is a fork in the road." Liu Wuhe raised the torch in his hand, and turned sideways so that the people behind could see the situation ahead.

They had been gone for about two quarters of an hour.The tomb passage in front of me was still going straight forward, but a small path was opened from the left side. The path seemed to turn a few turns, and the bottom could not be seen at a glance.The smoke from the torch in Liu Wuhe's hand neither moved forward nor to the left path, but floated randomly in the air as if he lost his direction at this fork.

"It can't be... Both are dead ends, right?" Bianzi asked while frowning.

"Don't worry, according to my previous experience of exploring multiple tombs, this main tomb passage may lead to the main chamber, while this side passage may lead to another ear chamber, or the gold and silver chamber. An apse of antique calligraphy and paintings."

"These two...don't sound like an exit." Bianzi shook his head, "If the front is the main room, that's where my concubine's coffin is placed. We'd better take a detour .”

Cheng Zhuming's eyes were fixed on the front.In the main room, the funeral objects must be...

"Young Xia Bian, don't worry, we will definitely not offend your mother and concubine. But it is more important to ensure that our group of people go out safely. I speculate that the person who built the tomb entered the tomb for nothing more than to visit the owner of the tomb. They will go to the free ear room or the apse where calligraphy and paintings are stored, and they may just go back and forth in this main tomb passage. Then the way out must not deviate from this main tomb passage.”

"...You have to promise not to enter the main room."

"Young Xia Bian, this cannot be guaranteed. Maybe the exit is in the main room."

"...The bottom line is that absolutely, absolutely, you must not touch the coffin of my concubine mother. If it is still not possible, I would rather everyone be trapped here and not go anywhere." Bianzi said seriously.

"Don't worry, we're just making excuses and we won't offend you." Liu Wuhe nodded.

Qing Huan and Miao Shan at the back quietly waited for the negotiation between them.Qing Huan leaned against the wall of the tomb, looking at the iron beast on the wall in a daze.

She doesn't think about anything now, even though Liu Wuhe once told her that she might be able to understand those old disputes in the tomb of Concubine Si, but she doesn't have the heart to understand it now.I have been separated from Master for a long time, Master...could it have gone out?

Miao Shan looked at the torch in Liu Wuhe's hand, and narrowed her coquettish eyes.She began to tear the hem of her coat, and then wrapped the torn strips around the end of the scabbard to make another simple torch.Then at the end of the line, at an angle ignored by everyone, he took out a small bottle of unknown stuff and sprinkled it with tightly wrapped cloth strips.

Everything is ready, just enter the main room.

Miaoshan held his neck and twisted it from side to side, and exhaled silently.After this mission is over, she needs to tell the master that she has to take a good rest for a while, at the very least, stay in the Burning Heaven Clan and continue to undercover, so that nothing more happens.

However, with this little girl added to the Burning Heaven Clan in the future, moths will fly all over the sky.

"Girl, do you know how long we have been in the tomb?" Qing Huanhu asked softly.

"It's been about three hours. It should be dark outside now, and it's just around midnight."

Qing Huan pursed her lips, lowered her head and said, "...do you have water?"

Miao Shan looked at Qing Huan and smiled: "Thirsty? I don't have any water, but I have a small bottle of soothing medicine. You can just make do with it."

"Thank you." Qing Huan took the vial that Miao Shan handed over, raised it to her lips and sipped it in small sips, "...Thanks for taking care of me all the way, I will definitely repay the girl after I go out."

"...I hope so." Miao Shan lowered his head and played with the newly made torch in his hand, quietly looked at Qing Huan from the corner of his eyes, frowned and swallowed the medicine bitterly, and suddenly said: "You trust me so much, you are not afraid that I will hurt you ?"

"Will you harm me, girl?" Qing Huan slightly evoked a slight smile, but her face was a little absent-minded.

Miao Shan chuckled lightly, folded her hands in front of her chest, noncommittal.

After Liu Wuhe and the others made their decision, Bianzi called Qinghuan to the front and walked with them, thinking that they could take care of each other in case of any accident.

Walking more than 100 feet to the main tomb passage in front, the iron-cast animal lanterns on both sides of the tomb passage suddenly stopped.They cautiously stopped to check. The left and right sides of the tomb passage in front of them were more than twice as wide.The ancient beast Bi An squatted on the stone pillar, while the stone Bi An had a big mouth, but the mouth was empty, without a title.

"The appearance of Bi An here means that there must be a very important prison door blocked ahead. Bi An is the son of a dragon, which also shows that this road will lead to the tomb of a noble person, which should be the main room without a doubt. But There are not many stone pillars on both sides, and they are asymmetrical, only five. There must be a mechanism here, everyone be careful." After Liu Wuhe finished speaking, he fumbled for a small knife from his arms and threw it forward.The knife jingled and rolled several times on the stone brick floor. Everyone held their breath and held down their weapons to be vigilant, but no mechanism was triggered.

Liu Wuhe gestured to move forward slowly.He was still walking in the front with the torch, taking every step very carefully, especially paying attention to whether there were any movable stone bricks under his feet, and the stone pillars on both sides.

A group of people tightened their bodies and proceeded cautiously.The distance between the five stone pillars was not far, and soon they passed through the stone pillars on both sides.And behind the five stone pillars, only ten steps away, is a large stone door that opens in the middle.

After approaching and checking carefully, the stone door was tightly closed, and the gap between the two and a half doors was sealed by a round bronze organ the size of a wooden basin.In addition to some intricate carved patterns on the flat surface of the bronze mechanism, there are only eight ancient seal characters arranged vertically:

"There is a treasure in my acupoint, and the evil spirits will disperse."

Liu Wuhe touched the bronze mechanism lightly, and raised the torch to examine it carefully.But the torch in his hand was almost burnt out, and only a little bit of flame remained.Miao Shan remained silent all the time, seeing this situation, he promptly handed Liu Wuhe the torch he made earlier: "Senior, use this."

Liu Wuhe didn't doubt that there was him, so he took it over and lit Miaoshan's torch after thanking him, and narrowed his eyes to look at the mechanism seriously.

"It's a 'dead door', which can't be broken by ordinary tools." Cheng Zhuming touched his chin and said seriously.

"That's right, it's the 'gate of death', and the mechanism can only be opened in the correct way." Liu Wuhe nodded.

Bian Zi frowned and said: "But we can only see this door, how does the mechanism open? Does anyone know?"

"I know what a fart. The doors of this kind of main tomb are almost locked to prevent thieves. Except for those who know the way, ordinary people can only see a lock." Cheng Zhuming snorted coldly and shook his head.

"But it's not that it can't be opened. Let's look around for anything unusual." Liu Wuhe patted Bian Ziyi's shoulder to comfort him.

"That..." Qing Huan, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly said, her voice was a little hoarse, "When I came here just now, I vaguely saw something engraved on the stone pillar next to it, it seems that each one is different... But it's a little far away, I didn't see what it was, could it be..."

Liu Wuhe's eyes lit up, and he took two steps towards the nearest Bi'an stone pillar with the torch, bent down and brought the torch closer to the inside of the stone pillar.

There is indeed a strange pattern engraved on the surface of this stone pillar, which is crooked. If you look closely, there is a little green paint filled in the engraving.Going a little further, another stone pillar is also engraved with a strange pattern, but the shape is different from the one just now, and it is filled with mottled blue paint.

"So it's like this..." Liu Wuhe knew it clearly, and let out a long breath.

"How?" Bianzi asked in doubt.

"I can't fully recognize the pattern engraved on it, but I can infer some clues from the number of stone pillars and the color of the pattern. Shaoxia Bian, you should also know that there are five elements in the world, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. Five elements Mutual generation and mutual restraint, reciprocating, endless, extending all phenomena. I have also read in ancient books that this kind of "five elements and five dragon organs" will be placed in some imperial tombs. They operate according to the mutual generation of five elements. If you want to understand it, you must You can use the method of the five elements to restrain each other."

"I know that metal produces water, water produces wood, wood produces fire, fire produces earth, and earth produces metal; and gold can overcome wood, wood can overcome earth, earth can overcome water, water can overcome fire, and fire can overcome metal. Then we only need to judge the properties of the stone pillar, and then use Can the principle of mutual restraint use something of another attribute to break it?"

"It should be so. The reason why the Biyan beast on it opened its mouth is probably to place things that can represent the five elements."

Standing aside, Miao Shan glanced lightly at the crowd, then looked at the flaming torch, and the corners of her lips curled up unconsciously.

No one would care about a silent and unknown disciple.Even Qing Huan was attracted by the Bi An stone pillar at this moment: "Then there is green paint on this pillar, does it represent the wood attribute?"

"These five pillars are painted in five colors of yellow, green, blue, red, and black, and their corresponding attributes should be gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. Then this pillar belongs to wood, and gold overcomes wood. We need some representatives something metallic."

Liu Wuhe took out the knife he had just used to explore the way, and carefully placed the knife into the mouth of Bi An who was squatting on the stone pillar.

Everyone pricked up their ears, anticipating something.

However, there was no strange sound.Some people can't help but feel a little lost.

They came to the second stone pillar.The inscription on this stone pillar is blue paint, which belongs to water.Turk water.

"There are bricks all around, where can I get soil?" Bian Zi took advantage of a bitter face.

Cheng Zhuming rolled his eyes at him, took off his boots under the eyes of everyone, and patted the soles of the boots against Bi An's mouth, and the dirt and dregs brought in by the robbers fell into it one after another. In Bi An's mouth.

"..." Bianzi shook his head helplessly.

The next pillar is engraved with yellow lacquer, which requires fire to gram.It's very easy, just tear off a small piece of clothing, dip it in a little lamp oil and put it in after burning it.

The wood attribute items needed for the earth attribute stone pillars engraved with black lacquer are even easier. If a random disciple picks them out, there will be wooden mechas in the bag, just dismantle a part and put it in.

The last stone pillar is inscribed with red lacquer.It belongs to fire and needs water.

But the point is, they don't have a drop of water at the moment.

Bianzi immediately rolled up his sleeves, picked up the long sword and put it on: "It's okay, I'll let some blood, blood is also water, it's the same."

Before anyone else could stop him, he had already cut a gash, blood spilled out, two drops fell down his wrist and into Bi An's mouth.

"Tick, tick..."

Liu Wuhe and the others couldn't help looking at the gate behind them.

Still nothing happened.

"How...how did this happen? Did we put in enough? Or did something go wrong?" Bianzi asked hastily.

"It shouldn't be like this..." Cheng Zhuming also became puzzled, "I have also seen the records of the 'Five Elements and Five Dragons Agency', it should be this agency."

Qing Huan said softly again: "Senior Cheng, didn't you say that the doors of this kind of main tomb are almost locked to prevent thieves. Presumably, this mechanism is not as simple as it appears on the surface, otherwise it is not Can any inverted bucket be opened at will?"

Miao Shan smiled in the dark without a trace, and glanced leisurely at the torch in Liu Wuhe's hand.

Liu Wuhe lowered his head and pondered for a long time, his eyes lingering on the five stone pillars.After all, where did it go wrong?

An ordinary dagger...the dirt on the sole of the boot...the fire should be fine, and so should the wood...the blood from the edge...

Blood?

Could it be blood...

Liu Wuhe suddenly raised his eyes to look at Qinghuan, and grabbed her wrist: "Miss Qinghuan, I'm sorry. Could you please help me?"

Qing Huan's face was pale, she looked at Liu Wuhe in surprise, and nodded in a daze.

Liu Wuhe took Bian Zizhen's sword, frowning, and lightly stroked on the side of Qing Huan's wrist.He hung the sword blade stained with Qing Huan's blood above Bi An's open mouth, and the fresh blood slowly slid along the blade to the tip of the blade, rolled on the tip for a moment, and was slightly moved by the dark wind in the tomb passage. Like a bead that suddenly cut the thread, it fell lightly.

"Tick-tock-"

Almost at the same time as the inaudible dripping sound, there was also a loud and low "Boom—"

Everyone hurriedly turned their heads, and the bronze mechanism on the huge stone gate behind them had split into two halves at some point, and then the stone gate slowly opened towards them.
