After coming in.
Each person held a lit torch.
The dark tomb chamber suddenly became much brighter.
"Something's not right." Partridge Whistle quickly realized something was amiss. "This isn't the Underworld Palace!"
Everyone looked around.
The huge tomb was found to be completely empty!
Not only was there no coffin!
There wasn't even the slightest bit of anything else!
The entire tomb chamber was completely empty!
Li Xiaohu was not surprised at all. He gestured to Partridge Whistle to calm down and continue watching.
After saying that, he led his men to one side.
The group soon discovered an open tomb door.
After passing through, we arrived at another tomb chamber.
But there's nothing here either.
The group quickly reached the end of the tomb chamber.
It turned out to be a dead end.
There is no door leading to the next tomb.
So they had no choice but to turn back to where they had been and continue searching in the opposite direction.
soon.
Li Xiaohu and his team discovered another tomb entrance.
After passing through.
It was yet another empty tomb chamber.
Fortunately, there is a tomb door here that leads to the next tomb.
The group was able to continue their journey.
But the strange thing is.
Beyond the tomb door was another empty tomb chamber, with yet another tomb door inside!
It seems like no matter which way you go, there's no end in sight.
"Wait a minute," Jin Suanpan suddenly stopped and called out to the group.
"We've already passed through five tomb chambers, covering a distance of no less than two hundred meters! And we still haven't reached the end?"
"Even for princes and nobles of the Tang Dynasty, having a tomb with three or four courtyards was already quite remarkable."
How many burial chambers are there in this tomb?
"And why were so many empty tomb chambers connected together?"
The others were also becoming increasingly suspicious.
They couldn't figure it out.
Why are there so many empty burial chambers in this ancient tomb? What was the purpose of it?
The group stopped and looked around.
They are trying to find other exits.
Sudden.
Hua Ling screamed in terror, "Ah!!!"
Attracted everyone's attention.
"What's wrong, Junior Sister?" Partridge Whistle asked with concern.
Hua Ling pointed ahead tremblingly and said, "There, there are footprints!"
Partridge Whistle stepped forward with his torch and peered inside, then his whole body trembled!
There were many scattered footprints on the ground.
And they were all recently stepped on!
They clearly didn't go to the front.
He then began to suspect with suspicion: "Could it be that other people have followed us into the tomb?"
But Partridge Whistle quickly dismissed the idea, though his heart was filled with growing terror!
because.
He discovered that the footprints were actually their own!
He might not be able to distinguish other people's footprints at a moment!
But he was very familiar with his own footprints and those of his two junior brothers and sisters!
The golden abacus was also discovered.
"Oh no!" His tone turned somewhat alarmed. "We've probably run into a ghost wall!"
The others were stunned by what they heard and stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.
Although Yin Xinyue had never encountered a ghost wall.
I heard quite a few related stories when I was a child.
It is known that once a person encounters a "ghost wall" (a place where one is trapped in a maze of ghosts and spirits), they will keep walking in the same place over and over again, and will never be able to get out!
Fearfully, he asked Li Xiaohu, "You scoundrel, what do we do now?"
Hong Guniang and the others noticed that Li Xiaohu maintained a calm expression throughout, so they asked expectantly, "Xiaohu."
"Do you have any idea?"
Li Xiaohu raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
Then he patted Erhu on the back, pointed ahead, and made it leap out.
He had known all along that something was amiss here.
But it's not what they call "being trapped in a maze."
Instead, it's a mechanism called the "Ghost Tomb".
I've been walking for a while now.
This was to confirm the total length of the entire "ghost tomb".
Now we can finally see their footprints from 717, which means they have completed the journey.
Just double-check it.
Then we can start working on cracking it.
While Erhu ran away...
Li Xiaohu reassured everyone, saying, "Don't panic."
"What we've encountered isn't a ghost wall, but a kind of anti-theft mechanism used in tombs, called a ghost tomb."
"The Ghost Tomb?" Jin Suanpan's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this!
He then said, "Master mentioned it in the 'Escape Technique'!"
"It refers to two or more connected burial chambers, which are rotated continuously through some mechanisms, so that the order of the connected chambers changes over time."
"That way, the people inside will never reach the end, and they'll achieve the goal of creating a 'ghost wall'!"
Partridge Whistle and the others didn't understand what he meant.
Five such large tomb chambers?
How large of a mechanism would be needed to drive it to keep changing direction?
Where does the necessary motivation come from?
"Water," Li Xiaohu stated the answer directly, "It's powered by underground rivers."
Jin Suanpan gave Li Xiaohu an approving look and praised, "Xiaohu is so thoughtful."
"I didn't even realize that at first."
"Yes."
"The mechanism of the Ghost Tomb is powered by the underground river beneath the tomb chamber!"
The voice just fell.
A "meow!" sound came from behind them.
Erhu actually ran back from behind them!
