Chapter 827 Borrowing Military Pay

Song Qian, Chen Ke and Qiezi followed behind Ji Han.

It's not entirely because of Ji Han's human shield, but in terms of emergency defense capabilities, the three of them knew that they couldn't compare with Ji Han.

However, the three of them were very reliable in their preparations for unexpected situations. Song Qian always held the body amulet in case something difficult to resist, at least buying everyone a moment.

And Chen Ke and Eggplant are the threats that can emerge from the surroundings at all times.

Chen Ke lifted the drone higher and turned on the lights to ensure that every stone placed on the ground could be clearly seen.

It is not yet possible to confirm whether these stones are all accurate, but when everyone walked ten meters away, it was basically confirmed that the person who placed the stones was indeed leading the way.

Although the mechanism that came out from under the first floor tile was nothing more than a few rusty iron nails, no one dared to risk their lives in such a place.

The four of them walked under the Jade Tower cautiously, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief when Ji Han, who was at the front, stepped on the stone slowly and nothing happened.

Looking back, Ji Han thought it was a bit funny. With the current state of the four of them, let alone a few iron nails, even an iron man would not be impossible to deal with.

But I didn't expect to be so cautious by those agencies that hadn't appeared.

Looking up, the front is the first floor of the Jade Pagoda, but under the light of the flashlight, the four of them frowned at the same time.

Because the stone gate on the first floor is actually concealed.

Just now, because the distance is relatively far, and the light here is not very good, the brilliance of the flares is blocked by the upper layer of the Jade Pagoda, so I didn't see that the door had been opened.

Eggplant joked:

"It seems that there are quite a few people who come to Queen Mother Xi's house to do business."

Ji Hanxin said that it doesn't matter, and it saves a lot of trouble to have the predecessors open the way.

And everyone is not here to rob the tomb, so it doesn't matter how many things are left in it, as long as the time ring is still there.

However, Ji Han was still somewhat curious about the person who came in first.

Who would come to such a place?

So far, the only one I have seen, seems to be Senior Xiaochunqiu in Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum.

I don't know exactly what age Senior Xiao is, so it's not impossible if it's him, but he probably doesn't know about the time ring.

Seeing Ji Han staring at the opened door in a daze, Song Qian thought that Ji Han was reconsidering safety issues, and suggested in a low voice:

"Brother Han, why don't I come?"

"Huh? Oh, it's okay, I just thought of something else."

After speaking, Ji Han stepped forward and gently pushed open the stone door. He didn't know what material the door hinges were made of. Even though there hadn't been any stuttering in the past so many years, the blue stone door on the left slowly opened, revealing the leisurely life inside. dark.

The four lighting sticks were thrown in together, dispelling the darkness that had been dormant inside for an unknown amount of time.

Ji Han and the others stared intently, not wanting to miss any details inside.

But to everyone's disappointment, there was nothing in the house except four rolling sticks.

Eggplant complained:

"Fuck, Queen Mother Xi built a warehouse with so much effort?"...

But with the rolling of those lighting sticks, Song Qian first discovered:

"Wait a minute, look at the ground, there seems to be writing."

Along the direction of Song Qian's finger, there are indeed black marks where the lighting stick passes.

Ji Han and the others still didn't rush in. Chen Ke controlled the drone and flew in first. A new light source shone on the ground, and the room became much brighter.

Everyone finally saw clearly that someone wrote a sentence in regular script on the ground:

The army was in danger, so I borrowed Huangbai, lost my belly, and rebuilt the temple. The sky is strange, and I have died nine times without regret.

At the end, there are signatures: General Yunhui, General Zuowuwei Guo Xin.

Chen Ke opened his mouth wide in surprise:

"Fuck, isn't it? Guo Xin brought people here?"

Ji Han nodded and analyzed:

"Not only have you been here, look at the meaning, but also ransacked this place. The yellow and white things generally refer to gold and silver. It seems that General Guo Xin gave an IOU to the Queen Mother of the West.

There must have been a lot of treasures piled up here, but they were all used as military pay by Guo Xin, and he might feel embarrassed, so he wrote such a sentence on the ground.

When I listened to the Taoist priest in purple, I wondered how they could guard for so long without a penny of military pay for decades. No matter how determined their willpower is, they still have to buy food, medical supplies and recruit troops, right?Not to mention that mines are still here to issue coins.

Now I understand that it was the Queen Mother of the West who became the sponsor. "

Legend has it that the earliest Captain Mojin was set up by Cao Cao because of the shortage of military funds, and he specially searched for treasures in ancient tombs for military expenses. This general Guo Xin can be regarded as a lively learning.

Song Qian also understood and said:

"So those stones just now are likely to be placed by the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty after testing, just to facilitate them to transport the gold and silver here outside."

"Well, that should be the case."

Chen Ke praised:

"General Guo Xin is fine too. There are almost no corpses of Tang Jun who died on the road. Except for the stone tablet at the door, they didn't cause any damage to anything in the team. They can be regarded as grave robbers with both virtue and skill.

But this Queen Mother of the West is really miserable. In this northwest border, such a house of gold and silver treasures was finally saved, and all of them were confiscated by the Tang Dynasty. "

Eggplant waved his hand and said:

"Damn it! It's obviously a lack of heart, okay? How can you put gold and silver treasures in such a blatant place? It's obvious that people come to get them."

Eggplant's words reminded Ji Han that the precious items buried with him are usually placed in the ear chamber of the tomb, and some are even placed directly in the coffin, but this Queen Mother of the West actually put them in such a simple layer of defense.

If it is not confirmed that those who took the treasure will definitely not be able to go out, it is that the value of these treasures is too light compared to other things.

From the fact that the time ring is on the top of the head, the latter is more likely.

I just don't know if the above things have been "borrowed" by General Guo Xin.

Ji Han and the others looked at the empty stone house on the first floor again, and after confirming that there was nothing missing, they walked around the outside of the first floor to the back.

The bluestone steps that go up one after another are not embedded in the inside, but twist up behind the jade pagoda, which not only saves space, but also makes the front look more beautiful.

But as soon as they came to the stairs leading to the second floor, the four of them found new writing on the steps:

Don't be persistent, turn back in time.

These eight characters were not as neat as the ones on the ground just now, and they were written a bit scribbled, but just looking at the handwriting, it seems that it was left by General Guo Xin.

Chapter 828 Please Upstairs

Chen Ke lowered his head to check the writing on the ground, then turned around and said:

"It's still the same as before, but this time it seems a bit random."

Don't be persistent, turn back in time?

I often see this mantra in love literature and stock trading ideas, but I just write it here, and I don't know why.

Advise those who want to go up later to leave in time?

Then this writing is too euphemistic, even if someone really came here, how could they stop because of his words?

This sentence sounds more like a feeling after knowing something.

At this time, there was no time to think too much, Ji Han took the lead and walked up.

The bluestone steps are different from the wooden stairs, and there is almost no sound when you step on them lightly.

I don't know how the bluestone here has been treated. Since I came here, I haven't even seen a piece of crisp and cracked stone. No wonder it can be used to build a tall building.

The four of them walked up the stairs around the jade building slowly, and the tall building above them was still hidden in the darkness.

Coming to the corridor on the second floor, Ji Han and the others were a lot more careful at this time, probably because they had seen the mechanism before.

However, the second floor was empty, there were no guards placed there, and no other reminders from General Guo Xin were seen.

Stepping on the bluestone floor, Ji Han couldn't help feeling that his feet were a little slippery. After all, it was surrounded by lakes and waterfalls, and a large amount of water vapor condensed on the surface of the stone slab.

No wonder they built wooden high-rises here, but the question also came, why did they have to build in this kind of place?

With doubts, Ji Han walked slowly along the outside to the front of the second floor, where the stone gate was wide open.

Inside the house is a white jade statue of a woman about the size of a human.

Different from the dignified and beautiful portraits in the Central Plains, this portrait depicts the gender characteristics of the characters more vividly, and the graceful figure seems to be covered with a thin layer of veil.

Although the overall statue is crystal clear, the details of the facial features seem to have been specially decorated.

So even though the depiction on the body is a bit avant-garde, Ji Han and the others can still see an indescribable nobility from the face of the whole statue.

A statue was erected in this kind of place to commemorate it. Coupled with the previous speculation about this place, this person must be the Queen Mother of the West.

However, the overall look is relatively harmonious. Chen Ke was afraid of some arrangement inside, so he didn't go in hastily, but he simply kowtowed at the door.

Ji Hanxin said that no one put a coffin here anyway, which means that this may not be the real tomb of Queen Mother of the West.

Just now, I was thinking that if I encountered a monster whose body changed from the Queen Mother of the West, my Chongyang Respecting the Old Stick might still come in handy.

Seeing that there didn't seem to be any threat on the second floor, Ji Han and the others didn't intend to delay for too long, and went around along the aisle to the back.

To the surprise of the four of them, there were no stairs behind the second floor, only going back to the front aisle.

When I was downstairs just now, I really only saw the stairs leading to the second floor.

The four people who didn't understand the situation returned to the front along the remaining road, and it was not a problem to confirm that there was no upward path, whether it was a dangling talisman or a direct climb.

It's just that the four of them didn't figure out why they made such a design for a while. When Ji Han turned his head and tried to climb up with the devil's tentacles, he suddenly found that the statue in the middle of the room on the second floor was not the same as before.

Yutou, who was smiling and nodding at first, turned his head slightly to look at him at this moment.

That smiling face that was very dignified just now turned out to be a bit ferocious at the moment, and the eyes that were not decorated before looked a little red at the moment.

"Hiss, look at that statue of Queen Mother Xi, it seems to be different."

Song Qian, Chen Ke and Qiezi all turned their heads in surprise when Ji Han reminded them, but the three of them looked at the weird statue, and Chen Ke immediately looked at Ji Han with a puzzled expression.

Chen Ke was puzzled and said:

"Brother Ji, there's no problem. Wasn't that the weird expression just now? You just said how could someone carve the Queen Mother of the West into such a shape."

Hearing this, Ji Han's eyes widened even more, he pulled Chen Ke back and asked word by word:

"Did I just say that?"

Chen Ke scratched his head and said:

"Brother Ji, what's the matter with you? It's obviously what you said. Both Song Qian and Eggplant can testify."

Turning to look at the two, the eggplant nodded slightly and said:

"Chen Ke is right, Ji Han, are you too tired and distracted?"

Just when Ji Han wondered if he really remembered it wrong, Song Qian was equally puzzled and said:

"I don't remember what Brother Han said. I remember that the statue just now is not as weird as it is now, but more dignified and beautiful."

Hearing this, a stone in Ji Han's heart fell to the ground, and there was nothing wrong with his head.

Hearing Song Qian's words, Chen Ke and Eggplant also frowned.

The four looked at each other, and then at the same time looked at the statue of Queen Mother of the West behind them.

The four people looked at the same thing and saw different situations, this Ji Han is understandable, after all everyone has different judgments on beauty and ugliness.

But whether there has been a change, and whether a word has been said, these are very objective existences.It will not change because of people's subjective judgments, so why are there such big differences?

Ji Han is still very confident in remembering what he said, especially in this tense situation, he has never seen the expression of the sculpture just now, and it is impossible to say what he just said.

If I really said that sentence, and Chen Ke and the three felt that all this was harmonious and reasonable, there must be some kind of confusion in everyone's minds.

I didn't smell any strange breath just now, nor heard any high-frequency sounds, so the possibility of hallucinations is not high.

But this is already the only possibility that Ji Han can think of.

Before Ji Han could speak, Song Qian guessed:

"Could it be that we are under some kind of illusion?"
