"Who on earth is this person who can follow all the way here?" Although this person could not hear their conversation, An Siyuan still unconsciously lowered his voice.

"I can't see the face, but the one who can follow must be a master." Ye Zhiqian picked up the burden again, and now he can no longer light the torch easily, "Let's continue walking, pay attention to hiding."

The sky is getting dark gradually, the moon is shining like bright tonight, the whole mountain is shrouded in clear light, the snow reflects the moonlight, everything in front of them is as clear as day, this is a good thing for them, and soon they reached the last hall ——The Sutra Pavilion.

This place should be the place where scriptures are collected. If they hadn’t obtained the topographic map, they would have focused on searching here. As expected by the two of them, there was a sound of knocking and knocking inside. It must be Cheng Kang searching inside. He bypassed this place silently, and went directly to the back of the hall.

The Sutra Pavilion is close to the mountain wall and is as high as three floors. It is the most well-preserved hall. There is only a narrow alley that is less than two people wide behind. or entrance.

"Strange." Ye Zhiqian took out the scroll and looked at the map under the moonlight. It was indeed right here. He tapped the mountain wall lightly, and it was very strong and not hollow.

"Here." An Siyuan on the side suddenly called him in a low voice. It turned out that there was another cave on the side of the mountain wall, and there was actually a narrow mountain crevice.

"I'm in the front, if there's anything wrong, we'll retreat." Seeing that there was no other way to go here, Ye Zhiqian decided to take a look. He walked sideways into the crevice of the mountain, and An Siyuan followed immediately.

If the outside is fairly bright, the inside can be said to be almost invisible. Ye Zhiqian used a wooden stick to explore the road ahead, and only dared to take a step when he was sure that the road ahead was solid. , After walking for about a stick of incense, Ye Zhiqian suddenly stopped.

"What's going on?" An Siyuan looked forward, but saw nothing.

"The front is empty." When Ye Zhiqian said this, An Siyuan was also surprised, empty?That is to say, there is a subsidence in front, and this place is relatively spacious, so the two had to light a torch to see what happened.

As the light of the fire gradually brightened, the two of them shone the torches down, and there was indeed a cave in front of them when the fire light jumped, and then they stretched the torches into the cave, and after seeing the contents of the cave clearly His eyes widened in surprise.

This is obviously a man-made place. Although the place is not big, the walls are very flat. There is actually a simple step down the hole for people to go up and down. Ye Zhiqian threw a stone down, and there was nothing unusual. Siyuan nodded and walked down the steps. An Siyuan held the sword in his hand, and his heart was almost in his throat. He didn't feel relieved until he saw Ye Zhiqian stepped on the ground and looked around and waved to him. .

After the two came down, they dug up a part of the rammed earth in the stone room together, and there was actually another long passage inside.

"This...couldn't be the emperor's tomb." An Siyuan shivered,

"It's very possible that the place we came down just now was probably a passage dug by the workers who built the mausoleum secretly for escape."

"Then... let's go in?"

The passageway is very cramped, and only one person can fit in. With Ye Zhiqian's height, he needs to bend over a little to enter. Ye Zhiqian was afraid that there would be some mechanism in front of him, so he refused An Siyuan's request to go ahead, and took the lead to enter. An Siyuan had no choice but to grit his teeth and keep up with the passage.

This passage is obviously not what the mausoleum should have, but there is no accident. There are still some rammed earth at the end, and it can be said that it suddenly becomes clear after opening.

There is a huge tomb in front of you. If you don’t know that you are in the deep mountains, you would think you are in some kind of royal palace. There are many small bridges, flowing water, pavilions, pavilions, and pavilions here. Looking at it closely, these flowers, plants and trees are all carved out of white jade and jasper, and the flowers and fruits dotted on them are all kinds of gemstones, which are extremely luxurious.

"This old emperor is reluctant to part with the wealth and glory in the world, and why does he want to become a Buddha." An Siyuan sneered, "This place is probably built according to his palace, but it looks like an imperial garden."

"The place we came in is not the main entrance. I'm afraid the main entrance is in the Sutra Pavilion." Ye Zhiqian guessed, "According to Cheng Kang's search speed, I'm afraid he will be able to come in soon."

"This guy is real. Since he left a clue, he still doesn't explain it directly." An Siyuan couldn't help complaining, "I think it's safe here. Let's think about which way to go while we rest."

"Since it's an imperial mausoleum, there may be many traps. It's safer to go through the escape route of the workers than to enter through the main entrance." Ye Zhiqian looked around, "But I always feel that something is wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"If the owner of this tomb is the emperor, and his goal is to become a Buddha, then what's the use of this swordsmanship mentality, or is this mentality specially put in by the person who wrote it?"

"Do you still remember what was recorded in the ancient tomb of Jinfeng Mountain?" An Siyuan said suddenly, "An old man accidentally acquired sword skills, which means that we are not the first ones to come in. Why don't we look for traces of people coming in?" , I'm afraid it will be faster."

With a purpose, the two started to act. They walked very cautiously in case there was an agency. They just crossed the small bridge and flowing water of the "Royal Garden" and arrived at an attic named Yuyintai, which looked like a stage. It looked empty, and the two walked up to see if there was anything else inside.

An Siyuan's heart has been pounding since he came in, and he has gone through countless times of the scene where the rice dumplings popped up in his mind.

"This is not a supernatural novel, nor is it a tomb-robbing novel. It's very safe, very safe." He kept chanting silently in his heart, comforting himself, but this place is obviously in the middle of the mountains, but the dark wind coming from nowhere is passing slowly, blowing from time to time. His hair was stretched, and his scratched face was itchy, which made people feel chills in their hearts.

An Siyuan held up the torch and gradually approached the depths of the stage. As the torch swayed up and down, some human-like shadows inside also swayed. He stopped in fright, hesitated and decided not to move forward, but just turned around , a tall figure dressed in red suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, with blue-faced fangs and fierce eyes in the orange flames, as if he was about to pounce on him in the next second.

With a low cry, An Siyuan staggered back two steps, leaning his back on a solid shoulder before he could stand still. Ye Zhiqian drew his sword and went away. His figure fell down and broke into several sections. It's a theatrical puppet.

"This old emperor who killed a thousand swords!" An Siyuan's feet were limp, he patted his chest and gritted his teeth, "It's scary to put these things here."

"It's all fake, don't be afraid." Ye Zhiqian reassured, holding up a torch and looking around, there are many puppets of various colors around, their clothes and paintings are lifelike, it is indeed very scary at first glance,

"There should be nothing on it, let's go look elsewhere."

"Okay." An Siyuan's voice was still a little trembling, he thought to himself that this invisible sword had no idea what kind of fate it had with the ancient tomb, why it had to be placed in such a place.

The two left the imperial garden, and after passing through a tomb passage, they arrived at another tomb room. They thought that there was enough luxury just now, but only after entering this side did they realize that it was nothing but a big deal.

I saw the splendor and splendor here. The steps of the whole hall are made of jade, the walls are made of gold, and there are several white marble statues standing around, telling the story of the emperor's life.

This statue is naturally singing praises, shaping the emperor like a reincarnated Bodhisattva. The last statue is made of pure gold. The emperor sits cross-legged on the lotus throne and has become a Buddha.

Looking up again, the two couldn't help gasping for air. There were two rows of skeletons sitting neatly on both sides of the palace. The costumes should be the palace people who were buried with them. After a while, they probably entered the main room directly.

This was an unexpected joy. The two looked at each other and smiled, sweeping away the haze just now. What surprised them even more was that, because the tomb had been sealed all year round, they found clear footprints on the dusty steps of the main hall. The footprints were a bit messy. , there are many old broken arrows scattered beside it, someone really came in!

The main hall is very important, there should be many traps here, but fortunately someone has triggered it, otherwise they would have experienced this scene of thousands of arrows firing just now.

"Even if the mechanism has been triggered, don't take it lightly." Ye Zhiqian picked up an arrow with his sword, flicked his wrist, the arrow flew straight forward, and stabbed firmly on the wooden beam in front of the main hall with a bang. Hearing the sound of arrows, a row of feathered arrows were shot down from the beams of the house.

"Good guy, there are quite a lot of tricks here." An Siyuan suddenly heard a strange voice after he finished speaking. He quickly stood beside Ye Zhiqian, and the two held their breaths to distinguish carefully

"It should be the sound of fighting, but the distance is too far, and the voice in the tomb is not very real." Ye Zhiqian heard the clue, "Cheng Kang should have come in, either he touched the mechanism or he may have met the man in black. "

"While he is busy, we will do it as soon as possible."

Although the mechanism in this hall is troublesome, it is difficult to hurt the two of them. They have a tacit understanding up and down, and they entered the main hall after a while. There are as many as a hundred people, if... they can still be called human beings.

"How many people did this dog emperor take to be buried with him?" An Siyuan cursed inwardly. A civil and military official dressed up, although they are all skeletons, they still maintain a kneeling posture, and there are some unclear shadows in the distance, their postures are very strange.

An Siyuan held Ye Zhiqian's arm tightly, walked through the kneeling skeleton with trepidation, not daring to vent his breath for fear of knocking them down, finally passed through the crowd, and finally saw the true colors of those shadows .

It turned out that these were more than a dozen dancers who imitated the Buddhist celestial maidens. Although their dancing postures were as graceful as those on the murals, they were all nailed to wooden stakes. They have maintained their agile postures for hundreds of years. It's like dancing in the next second.
