Chapter 145
The sight returned to Chen Yibai.
Chen Yibai racked his brains but couldn't figure out how Yan Xuefei and Yan Wanlei followed in.
It didn't matter if Yan Xuefei followed in.
But if the police followed in, things would be difficult to deal with.
If the guess was right, according to their police's case handling process, the entrance to the tunnel above must have been fully blocked by heavy guards.
Although it was not 100% certain, we must not gamble on this probability. If the tunnel was blocked, climbing up the original route would be like walking into a trap.
Therefore, we must not go along the original route. It is definitely unrealistic to wait here for the police above to evacuate.
After the police evacuated, the archaeological team would definitely follow up. Besides, I had no food or drink on me, so I couldn't wait.
After running out of the side door of the main hall, there was a terrace outside.
Standing on the terrace, you can basically overlook the entire palace. In front of you is a gorgeous sea of bright red flowers. That is the way you came.
Behind you is a curved natural cave. It doesn't seem to have any traces of artificial excavation. I don't know where it leads to.
Chen Yibai made a quick and decisive decision in his heart and chose to go back!
It is definitely impossible to go back from the robbery hole, because there are silver handcuffs waiting there.
This Western Han Dynasty imperial tomb should be like the tomb of King Kang in Qishan. There must be other exits, otherwise, the Tuxing Order would not have been leaked outside!
After making the decision, Chen Yibai quickly grabbed the glazed tile eaves of the palace and climbed down.
After landing, he quickly ran towards the cave behind.
Chen Yibai also noticed that a figure had been following him behind him.
It was none other than Yan Xuefei.
Although Yan Xuefei knew in advance that the police would follow, she didn't expect them to come so quickly. And just as Chen Yibai thought, the entrance to the tunnel was blocked by the police, so she couldn't go back the way she came.
But Yan Xuefei had no other way to go except the way she came, so she could only follow Chen Yibai.
For this reason, Yan Xuefei was a little relieved that she didn't show her fangs and fight with Chen Yibai just now...
The further you go into this cave, the larger the space becomes, as if the entire mountain is empty.
And as you go in, Chen Yibai smells the familiar stench in the air again.
The stench means there are rotting corpses, and rotting corpses mean bad luck.
Although Chen Yibai has long been accustomed to this, he still slows down a little for safety reasons.
Yan Xuefei, who was behind him, also quickened her pace and caught up. The confrontation in the palace just now was as if nothing had happened. She said, "Captain Chen, can we find the exit from here? The people who built this underground palace must have left a way out for themselves, so they could take the Earth Order out. The Earth Order is also the key to this underground palace. As long as we can find the way out left by the builder of this underground palace, I know how to use the Earth Order, and we can cooperate..."
What Yan Xuefei said was exactly what Chen Yibai was thinking, but he was not sure whether Yan Xuefei really knew how to use the Earth Order or was deliberately emphasizing her value.
But no matter what, now is definitely not the time for internal strife, so he smiled and nodded for the time being.
After walking forward for about ten minutes, the cave came to the end. There was no way ahead, and a cliff stood up like a barrier.
Under the cliff, there was a pile of white bones, some of which had weathered into fragments.
In addition, Chen Yibai noticed that there were some tools such as axes and shovels in the pile of bones, and some skeletons were holding pickaxes in their hands.
Obviously, these were the workers who built the underground palace.
After the underground palace was built, the tomb door was sealed, and they became the sacrificial victims of the imperial mausoleum together!
This was very common in ancient times. It was mainly because they were afraid that the craftsmen who built the imperial mausoleum would master the secrets of the structure and mechanism of the imperial mausoleum, so after the construction of the imperial mausoleum was completed, the craftsmen would be executed.
For this reason, many tomb builders in history secretly left a way out for themselves. After the tomb door was sealed, they secretly escaped from the reserved way out in advance.
But all these tomb builders in front of them died here collectively, which does not mean that there is a way out here. Maybe they were collectively executed here at the beginning.
"Impossible, how come there is no way out here?"
Yan Xuefei looked at the cliff like a barrier in front of her, and then looked at the pile of bones under the cliff, and suddenly had an extremely ominous premonition in her heart.
According to Yan Xuefei's thinking, if there really was a way out, it would be impossible for all these tomb builders to die here.
If there was noThe way back, the way back couldn't be taken, wouldn't that mean death?
But Chen Yibai ignored Yan Xuefei. To be more precise, he had no time to pay attention to Yan Xuefei.
Chen Yibai sniffed the rancid smell in the air repeatedly, and kept looking around, seemingly looking for something.
Logically speaking, this Western Han Dynasty imperial tomb is two thousand years old.
In two thousand years, the bones have almost weathered into slag, and they can be dissolved quickly in water. How could they still have a rancid smell?
Finally, while sniffing the rancid smell, Chen Yibai found the source of the rancid smell in the cracks of a pile of rocks in the cave. It was three black corpses!
These were three mummies that had not decayed. They had not died for too long, and the clothes on their bodies had not completely decayed. They looked like clothes from the late Qing Dynasty, only about a hundred years old.
On and around the three mummies, there were kerosene lamps, black folding tools, Luoyang shovels, and black donkey hooves. It was obvious that the three people were traveling together!
"Tomb robbers! Someone has been here before!"
Yan Xuefei was also looking at the three corpses in the pile of rocks at this time, and was very surprised.
Immediately, Yan Xuefei seemed to suddenly remember something, and frowned in surprise and said: "Where did they come down from? Did they also come down from the robbery hole in front?"
Chen Yibai shook his head firmly: "The front is a new robbery hole! They came in from somewhere else!"
Hearing Chen Yibai's words, Yan Xuefei instantly became energetic. If so, there must be other robbery holes. Anyway, it is absolutely impossible to escape from underground.
Since there are other robbery holes, then theoretically, as long as you find where these three colleagues came down from, you can get out.
Before Yan Xuefei could ask again, Chen Yibai said confidently: "These three seniors came down from nearby! There is a dark formation here! It is set up inside to prevent anyone from leaving the tomb. You can only enter but not leave!"
