Vermillion mole

Seeing Wu Xie's expression, Aning sighed: "Actually, we little characters don't know much, we just work hard for the boss." He greeted another foreigner, and Aning introduced him, saying that the foreigner's name was Ke. Ke is an expert in Sinology, specializing in Dongxia. He knows the most about the whole thing, so you can ask him.The foreigner shook hands with Wu Xie, and said, "Originally we kept it strictly confidential, but in this situation... If you want to ask anything, just ask."

He continued: "Unfortunately, I can't tell you about the purpose of our boss. To be honest, I am also a team leader. Aning and I only know that we need to enter a place, take one thing out, and then finish it." I really don’t know what the high-level executives want to do, so we can say that we have two goals in the underwater tomb. One is a jade seal. You Chinese call it a ghost seal. I heard that it can summon the underworld. The army; the other is the organization map of the underground palace here, unfortunately, we didn't get it, and in the end we, Aning, went out to get it back and should get something. "h

"Ghost seal?" Wu Xie almost jumped up when he heard it, "You mean King Lu Shang's ghost seal? In the undersea tomb?" Hearing Wu Xie and Aning talking about the ghost seal, the fat man was also very interested. Coming closer, Ah Ning seemed to hate fat people, but there was nothing he could do.

That Kirk nodded and said: "Yes, I believe you also know something about it. After the tomb of King Lu Shang was dug by the pirate Wang Zang, the latter replaced the ghost seal with a snake-browed copper fish. We always thought that the ghost seal was taken by him. I went to the tomb of you, but I couldn't find it anywhere; and the organizational chart of Tiantian Palace probably fell into the hands of your third uncle. We don't know how many times we have been tricked by this old fox, but Still have to cooperate with him, his intelligence is much more accurate than ours."

Wu Xie nodded and smiled wryly, while the fat man said, "Then you said that when Aning and us went to the bottom of the sea, what did she bring out?"

Kirk opened his mouth to say something, but Aning stopped him and said to him: "Say what you should say, and don't talk too much if you shouldn't."

Kirk didn't seem to appreciate Aning's affection, so he laughed and said, "Even if you don't tell them now, you still have to show them. Besides, it's useless even if you have these things now."

Aning glanced at the few people, stomped his feet, and seemed very unwilling: "The things I have worked so hard to make are really cheap for you."

As he spoke, he took out a stack of things from his pocket and handed it to me.I thought he would take out some kind of artifact, but when I took it over, it turned out to be a stack of photos, all of which were murals, and I flipped through them one by one. She reminded not to mess up the order, and read carefully After looking at a few pictures, I found that I had never seen these murals before, and asked, "Where did you take this?"

Kirk said: "It was taken from the main tomb when you went into the sea together. This is a narrative mural, which is very important. You can take a look and see what is painted inside."

After counting, there are a total of fifteen murals, all of which have changed, and are obviously connected, but there is no necessary plot connection between the murals.I saw some paintings of climbing snow-capped mountains, some of them overlooking mountains, some of them climbing rocks, and some of soldiers fighting.There is no necessary connection between the pictures of each mural.

Kirk knew from Wu Xie's expression that Wu Xie couldn't read it, so he showed me one, and said, "Look, this is the first one, what do you see?"

The picture shows several people dressed as Jurchens tying up a Han Chinese.Wu Xie asked, "Are you taking prisoners on the battlefield?"

"You can say that, but who do you think this prisoner is?" Kirk smiled mysteriously.

Wu Xie carefully looked at the photo of the mural, and found that the prisoner's appearance was close to the image of Wang Zanghai on the porcelain painting. He asked in surprise, "Is this Wang Zanghai? The Jurchens are arresting him?"

Kirk said: "Yes, this is the first picture. It's just like this picture. What does it mean? It means that Wang Zanghai may have been forced to build this place. He was taken captive."

Wu Xie immediately noticed something interesting, looked at the other photos, and said, "Then these photos?" They are all things that Wang Zanghai experienced in the hands of the Dongxia people after he was taken captive. Although we can't fully see I understand, but I can guess from the photos in front of me that it's pretty close."

Wu Xie looked at one of them carefully again, and suddenly found something wrong: "This one..."

Kirk looked at it and nodded: "Your eyes are very sharp, and this one is also very important. Have you noticed that this is the imperial tomb in the crater. When Wang Zanghai was taken captive, the imperial tomb was already It exists, and it's pretty run down."

Kirk said: "We have researched that the overall style of the imperial tomb above is from the Yin and Shang Dynasties, but he changed it into a Ming style. The Eastern Xia people kidnapped him, not for him to repair the imperial tomb, but for him to remodel it. The imperial tomb, because the imperial tomb has gone through too many years, it can no longer be used."

"Then the underground palace here has already existed?" the fat man asked.

Kirk nodded: "We used these photos to find out the old road leading here, but there are still some photos that we can't understand, such as this one."

It was a mural of countless evil spirits jumping out of the stone, it was the third from the last, and there was another one, which turned out to be a group of black mollusk-like things climbing up from some huge cliff, and the above Someone poured something down.

Wu Xie was nervous and relieved, and was about to sit down and take a closer look, but at this moment, Aning suddenly stretched out his hand to Wu Xie, and said, "Okay, we're done talking, you can take photos at any time Look, now you have to tell us something too?"

"Tell what?" Wu Xie was puzzled.

"I told Pan about everything about me, about you and Wu Sansheng," Ah Ning looked at Wu Xie, "You won't be more stingy than a woman like me, right?"

Zhu Sha instantly understood: "Wu Xie, give them the fish."

Wu Xie understood, and took out two snake-browed copper fish. In an instant, Kirk almost fell to the ground, and Aning's eyes were straightened, and he stammered: "God! You actually have two..." Wu Xie As soon as they moved their arms, their eyes followed Wu Xie.

After a long time, one of them came to his senses and asked me: "Where did you get it? You...are gods, so you are in the palace of Lu Palace...this is the dragon fish ciphertext! I always thought there was only one, did not expect……"

Wu Xie waved his hand and said, "Is there anyone here who can watch it?"

Ah Ning immediately yelled: "Wu Laosi!" A Chinese man walked over and saw the fish in Wu Xie's hand, his expression changed, and he rushed over and yelled: "God!"

Wu Xie said to him, "Can you translate?" He nodded sharply, took it like a fetish, and began to shine a flashlight on the scales of the fish, and soon a large number of Jurchen characters were displayed on the ground, and there was someone beside him immediately Help copy it down.

Ah Ning's subordinates are really good, they can translate while copying, much better than Monk Hua, Zhu Sha is not interested in listening to these things, so he pulls the fat man aside and walks away.

Fatty was a little reluctant at first, he liked those stories, but when he touched cinnabar, his somewhat fierce eyes instantly withered.

After searching for a long time, someone suddenly came to report that they had found the mark.

Walking over to take a look, I saw that several coffins in the coffin well were opened, and all the contents inside were listed. On the side of the coffin well, someone actually opened a secret door, and another mark appeared inside the secret door .

"Didn't you leave this mark?" Aning asked.

Zhu Sha pursed her lips: "We didn't leave it...but I know the person who left this mark."

A person next to him reported: "The coffins here are all shadow coffins, which are fake. There are only corpses made of jade in them. The real coffins are not here. When we opened it just now, we opened the mechanism of the insect fragrance jade, and it turned out to be full of scorpions. I came out, and now I searched carefully. I didn’t expect that there was a secret passage here, and some people went in. It looks like a double-layer tomb. The real coffin may still be under this. This is a popular way of burial in the Yuan Dynasty. .”

Aning looked at Wu Xie and waved his hand to let people go down, but no one moved, they all looked at Wu Xie and Fatty.

Wu Xie and Fatty looked at Zhu Sha together... Zhu Sha dragged the two of them into it together without hesitation. The tomb passage sloped downwards, the angle became steeper and steeper, and the flashlight shot straight down, and there was no sign of the end. , the end is always a deep darkness.

After walking for more than 20 minutes by the light of the flashlight, the fat man said, "Little Fairy, Xiao Wu, have you noticed that this tomb passage is getting warmer?"

Zhu Sha replied: "I have already felt it."

Wu Xie nodded and said, "Maybe our destination is close to the stratum active area of ​​the volcano, where there is lava or hot spring activity, and the temperature will gradually rise. Where exactly did Wang Zanghai dig?

After going forward for a while, the fat man suddenly asked the two of them: "Tell me honestly, what special relationship do you have with that little brother?"

To be honest, the word "special" made Zhu Sha feel a little confused, but she still told Fatty, "I am his sister."

The fat man said again: "It turns out that the little fairy and the little brother are really related. They are indeed a family, and they are very skilled and capable."

Wu Xie said: "Even a fool can see that the skills are the same, and there are not many harsh words."

After walking for a long time, the tomb passage finally came to an end. When walking out of the tomb passage, a gust of warm wind suddenly blows, which refreshes people's spirits.Quickly turned on the flashlight and looked around, and found that this is a gallery built on the cliff, just like the sacrificial altar of the fake spiritual palace that I saw in the ice dome when I came here, the floor under my feet is raised with pillars On the cliff, there is a huge black tripod standing in the middle of the corridor. One of the legs of the tripod has sunk into the stone floor, showing a posture about to fall. Obviously, you must be careful when walking on this platform. The stones are all aged.

The edge of the platform is a cliff, and the top is also pitch black, and the top of the head cannot be seen.

The fat man complained: "Why... it's the end again, there is no way to go, there is still a coffin, where is this king of slaves hiding?"

Walking to the edge of the corridor, the signal flare suddenly ignited in the sky. In this extremely dark space, it was like a small sun, illuminating the situation in front of me at once.

By the light of the signal flare, we can see that this place is actually a huge crack in the mountain. The verandah where the cinnabar is located is built on the cliff on one side of the crack, while on the opposite side, more than 200 meters away, is the cliff on the other side of the huge crack. It's like being on a cliff in one of Africa's great surface rift valleys.Both Fatty and Wu Xie couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

The signal flare gradually fell and fell under the corridor, showing the situation below, and another shocking scene appeared in front of me. I saw that in the bottomless rift below, countless bronze chains with the thickness of bowls traversed the two sides , connecting the rifts together.

With the falling light source, 20 meters below the corridor, to the depths of a chaotic rift, I don’t know how many such chains are there, and the sparse places are almost invisible, while on the deep chains, There are also many things hanging densely, like many bells, which are too far away to see clearly.

At this time, the fat man found a rock climbing rope at one end of the porch, and hung it down from one end of the platform to the top of the nearest bronze chain below, where it was tied.

The fat man frowned and said, "That's enough, but that little brother is also persevering. It seems that he climbed down. Do we have to go down and learn from monkeys?"

Zhu Sha said: "The chains below are still very dense, so it won't be difficult to climb."

Wu Xie said: "Where is this place? Why is there such a strange setting? Could it be that the coffin of King Wannu is under this rift valley? Have you ever thought about how they could transport that huge coffin down? "

The fat man said: "It's really possible, but the ancients always had their own ingenious methods. Should we go up and inform those foreigners, or go down first?"

Zhu Sha stared and said, "Of course I called down!"

Wu Xie agreed: "Zhu Sha is right. If you call them down, you don't know if you can come up again after you go down. We don't need to call them down as road dogs for them. Their equipment and technology are better than ours. They can still come up." It's good, besides, Pan Zi is still up there, anyway, the third uncle has already been found, so it will take a little more time."

The fat man thought of Kirk's muscles all over his body, and agreed with the two of them, and then returned from the original road. Knowing that the road was quite long, he unknowingly accelerated when walking.

Aning and the others had been waiting impatiently for a long time, thinking that something had happened, they were relieved when they saw the three of them back.Wu Xie took Pan Zi's water, took a sip, and then told what he saw.
