Later, I finally became a white lotus in the flourishing age [Quick time travel]

"Perhaps no one belongs to anyone," Fu Chen knew that Xie Yi didn't like people getting too close to him, so he withdrew his hand, took a step back to distance himself from Xie Yi, and continued, "It's just that he was treated as a pawn. .”

Is that so?

Xie Yi himself covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and followed the crowd towards the depths of the mausoleum.

It stands to reason that the emperor should have set up many organs to prevent people from robbing the tomb, but they walked deep into the corridor for a long time without encountering any danger.

Xie Yiben still thought it was a bit strange, but then he thought about it, if the emperor of this dynasty really buried the shark beads in this imperial tomb, they must have explored here long ago, and there is no danger now.

Naturally, he was not the only one who felt strange about the safety here. After walking for a while, someone stopped Murong Jue: "Master Murong, please wait."

Murong Jue looked back at him.

"We've been walking for a long time, and we haven't encountered anything, isn't it strange?" the man said, "I heard that the emperor's family will set up a lot of traps in the tomb to deal with intruders in order to prevent peace after death."

"Really?" Murong decided to stare at the man, and after a while, he chuckled, then raised his chin slightly, and said calmly, "However, we are different from those villains who steal graves. And enter, dignified and upright."

"..."

Murong Jue continued: "Everyone, we entered this place to get shark pearls and destroy Xie Ji's plot, isn't it considered upright?"

Everyone had their own thoughts, and they didn't know how many people came in to look for the shark beads purely to deal with Xie Ji, but when they heard Murong Jue say this, they all agreed.

They continued to walk inside, passed through the long and narrow corridor, and finally came to a slightly spacious room.

Someone lit the candle in the corner, and the faint light poured out, barely illuminating the tomb.

The tomb is not high, it can even be said to be a little low, with seven or eight coffins lined up side by side.Those coffins were carved with patterns such as pines, cypresses and cranes. They were painted with tung oil and painted black, but they were not luxurious, at least not like the rituals that an emperor should have.

"Where is this?"

Murong Jue sized him up and said, "It should be the concubine who was buried with him."

"Tsk," one person said, "the emperor's life is different from ordinary people. He has a group of wives to accompany him when he dies."

The accompanying Master Wuyou frowned too much. She had converted to Buddhism for a long time, so she naturally couldn't see this kind of burial of living people, so she lowered her head and said a word of mercy.

Xie Yi knew that these should not be concubines, the underground palace is huge, built according to the layout of the front court and the back bed, they haven't seen the "front court", how could it be so easy to see the concubines who should be in the "back bed"?

After thinking about it, Xie Yiwei decided to ask Bai Bai to find the way.

There are three openings in the tomb. Looking from the direction they came in, the remaining two openings, one is to continue walking forward, and the other is to turn to the right. I don't know which one Murong Jue will take them into.

The air circulation in the tomb is not smooth, and there are so many people walking together, the breath is turbid.People with high internal energy don't feel uncomfortable yet, but people with low martial arts don't feel very comfortable.

At this moment, Xie Yi didn't ask the system to help open martial arts bugs. His physical fitness was the same as that of ordinary people, and he might even be weaker. He couldn't help covering his lips and coughing softly.

Hearing Xie Yi's cough, everyone's eyes turned to him, asking about Xie Yi's situation in one go.

"Niece, but you don't feel well?"

"Or is it too cloudy here?"

"There is a corpse in the tomb, Fifth Miss Shen should not go any further..."

Xie Yi looked at the person who suggested to let him go out, shook his head, and said softly: "It's just that I'm tired from walking."

"Then rest for a while." Murong Jue said, "We've come here, we're almost there, it doesn't matter if we take a rest."

"Alright." Xie Yi said, and then was supported by Jing Ruo to sit down in the corner.

The walls inside the tomb are built with bricks and stones, and the bricks and stones are glued with glutinous rice.

In the hiding place, Xie Yi stretched out his hand to touch the wall a few times, and noticed a little dampness as expected.However, it is also possible that the underground palace is already damp, and the water vapor condenses on it.

Not long after, Pathfinder came back in vain.

Tuanzi emitting a faint white light flew to Xie Yi's side, pointing out which road led to a bigger tomb.

After a while, Murong Jue called everyone to continue walking forward, and sure enough they went to the road that was pointed out in vain.

The "splitting" sound of burning torches mixed with the sound of people's footsteps mixed together, it was a bit weird, but in such an environment, Xie Yi heard some other sounds vaguely.

After walking into a wider tomb, the voice became clearer.

This tomb was nearly ten times the size and three times the height of the one they had passed through before.The four sides of the tomb are made of huge stone bricks, carved with patterns such as golden dragons, auspicious clouds, flowers and plants, painted with gold lacquer, and shining brightly under the light of lamps and candles.The ground is paved with black-red stones and decorated with gold foil and pearls. Four stone pillars stand at four corners, supporting the semi-curved dome above the head.

This tomb was built according to the place where the king lived on the ground. Except that there were no courtiers kneeling down, it was almost exactly the same as the ground. The white jade steps led to the high platform, and on the high platform was the throne made of pure gold, shining brilliantly.

Xie Yi's attention was not focused on such a luxurious arrangement, it was similar to the sound of the rising tide surging in his eardrums, as close as it was far away.

Perhaps out of the desire to take care of Xie Yi, Jing Ruo was very close to him.Apparently she also heard the voice, and immediately asked in a low voice: "Sister Wu Shen, did you hear any voice?"

Xie Yi looked at her and slowly shook his head.

Jingruo's expression became subtle, and she whispered: "Is it only me who heard it?"

Xie Yi knew it wasn't, and he also knew what that voice meant.

They had actually been walking down before, but because the slope was not too steep, it was difficult to detect it for a while.

The mausoleum was extremely close to the canal, and the sound they heard was the sound of the canal's flooding.In other words, above their heads is the canal.

Rumor has it that after designing the layout of the mausoleum for the emperor, the craftsman would choose to leave a concealed exit to prevent him from being buried with him, but how easy is it to build a concealed exit?During the design and construction of the mausoleum, there are supervisors, and it is difficult to make any big moves in it. Therefore, we can only use natural conditions as much as possible, such as underground rivers—if there are underground rivers nearby.

Over the course of a hundred years, the canal has changed and connected with the dark river that was previously used as a place of escape, and finally formed a new waterway, pressing on the mausoleum.

Xie Yi knew very well that the emperor had always been quite suspicious, and they would probably prefer the method of killing on the spot rather than letting the designer of the tomb be buried with him.There are a huge number of craftsmen, all of whom work separately and are supervised, so there is no need to worry that they will leak too much information about the mausoleum. Furthermore, although the craftsmen are not very important to the country, they also play a role that cannot be ignored. Killing is not a wise choice.

The waterway that was used as a place of escape did not allow the people who designed the tomb to escape, but now it has become a sharp weapon that can take the lives of their group.

As for Murong Jue, it seems that he has not realized this.

At this moment, Murong Jue's eyes fell on the exquisite box above the throne, the joy on his face could not be concealed, he was about to step forward to get the box.

Monk Ming Kong, who remained silent all the way, stopped him, and said with downcast eyes: "Master Murong, it's too easy for our group to travel all the way, beware of fraud."

However, before Murong Jue could say anything, someone in the crowd turned over and leaped onto the high platform with lightness kung fu, raising his hand to grab the box on the throne.A small arrow flew towards the oblique ground, directly brushed the man's hand, and nailed to the pure gold throne with a "buzz", missing an inch.

The man's movement was hindered by the small arrow and slowed down for a moment. The woman who shot the sleeve arrow was superb in lightness kung fu, and took advantage of this short moment to rush up to the high platform. She shook the man away with her backhand and bent down to take the box. .

Only then did people see what she looked like.

Fluttering in purple clothes, with a beautiful face——it was the maid beside Mei Shaoqing who was traveling with her.

The girl raised her head and glanced at the crowd, with a subtle smile on her face, before anyone could react, she threw down a smoke bomb and fled away.

Smoke rose, Xie Yi coughed from choking, he couldn't see clearly for a moment, he seemed to have bumped into someone's hand while the crowd was pushing.Those hands were cold, they supported his wrists, and when he stood still, they quickly retracted them.

After a while, the smoke dissipated, and the box containing the shark beads had disappeared.

"Mei Shaoqing!" Murong Jue was furious immediately, "What are you going to do?!"

The young master of Tianyahai Pavilion touched the bridge of his nose subconsciously, with an innocent expression: "I don't know. How and when that person got in, I didn't notice."

He was not at all flustered by the disappearance of Shark Pearl, and he even took time off to watch a good show at any time.However, what was unexpected was that this good show would have nothing to do with me.

"Heh, who knows what your Tianyahai Pavilion is thinking..."

Before Murong Jue could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Master Wuyou, "Master Murong, be careful." Her complexion was also ugly, but she was not as irritable and angry as Murong Jue, "The most important thing right now is to catch that Little thief."

When Mrs. Wuyou said this, Murong Jue suddenly realized his gaffe. His chest heaved violently twice, and finally calmed down his anger slightly. He said in a deep voice: "What Mrs. Wu said is that the imperial tomb is so big, Let's find it separately."

A loud bang covered his voice, and the muddy river gushed out from the depths of the mausoleum, flowing over in a mighty way, instantly knocking down the decorations standing on the ground, coming fiercely...

Monk Mingkong was the first to say: "Let's go!"

Before the words fell, the crowd was already rushing towards the exit.

Murong Jue glanced at Monk Mingkong, then at the person running towards the exit, gritted his teeth, and ran against the current towards the depths of the tomb.

Xie Yi and Fu Chen looked at each other and followed.

What they thought was the same as Murong Jue, no matter whether the person got the real Shark Bead or not, they are probably still in this tomb and did not go out.

Because she opened the mechanism between the waterway and the tomb.

Master Wuyou also saw their movements, and was about to stop them, but the monk Mingkong standing beside her softly proclaimed the Buddha's name.Master Wuyou moved his lips so much that he didn't say anything in the end.
