Tomb Keeper: My clone is the Mausoleum of the First Emperor

Chapter 179 Entering the main tomb area, splicing the nine-square grid, and opening the underground tomb city again!

While thinking about it, everyone suddenly felt a strange sound coming from the mountain road.

Call ~
Call ~
The sound was very low, and it sounded like the muffled sound of wind blowing across the cliff.

Upon hearing this, Wu Tianqi quickly dipped his fingers in saliva to confirm the wind direction.

As a result, he found that there was indeed wind blowing from the end of the mountain road.

So, Wu Tianqi stepped forward and said to everyone at the same time: "Everyone, be careful, there is a head-on wind blowing in front of this mountain road."

"It proves that there should be a huge underground space at the end of this mountain road."

"You don't need to ask to know that the large space that can generate air flow must be the main tomb of the First Emperor's Mausoleum."

"And the wind is blowing, which is enough to show that we are infinitely close to the end of the mountain road."

As he spoke, Wu Tianqi's feet moved quickly.

Being able to generate air currents that blow against rocks means that the space in front of it is at least as huge as an underground valley.

Moreover, the underground valley that can appear at the end of Lishan Mountain must be related to the main tomb.

For a moment, everyone was excited and nervous, and the two emotions were mixed together in a way that was difficult to describe.

Thinking of seeing the main tomb of the First Emperor's Mausoleum soon, even the people in the Exploration Bureau were excited.

"Stop talking and leave quickly!"

"can not wait anymore."

But what is different from them now is that although Wu Tianqi and the others are also very excited, they are just looking forward to entering the main tomb soon.

What everyone was more worried about was the mechanism that might exist in the tomb.

After all, this is the world's largest tomb, and there are even legends about dragon veins.

For this reason, the tomb must have been built into a place of death.

As a result, Wu Tianqi quickly calmed down.

While slowing down his pace, he stared around and said, "Everyone, be careful. Although we are about to find the main tomb, we still can't let down our guard."

With that said, Wu Tianqi continued to move forward cautiously.

Under his influence, Zhang Tianqi and others also suppressed their curiosity about the tomb of the First Emperor's Mausoleum.

They all followed Wu Tianqi and moved forward close to the rock wall.

As time went by, Wu Tianqi noticed that the rock walls on both sides of the mountain road seemed to be gradually widening.

really!

It was as he expected. After about 5 minutes of progress, everyone arrived at the end of the mountain road.

Looking through the bright light of a flashlight, Wu Tianqi could see a mountain pass about ten meters wide directly ahead.

The cliffs on both sides disappeared when they reached the front.

Looking forward along the mountain pass, you can vaguely find that the space on the opposite side seems to be very vast.

Seeing this, Wu Tianqi immediately became alert.

He suppressed his curiosity to find out and carefully stepped forward.

When they arrived at the mountain pass, everyone's vision immediately became much brighter.

The narrow cliff disappeared and was replaced by a vast giant grotto.

wrong!

Calling it a grotto is no longer enough to describe it.

Wu Tianqi looked around and saw a mountain towering into the top of the grotto directly in front of him.

Looking up the mountain, you can barely see the top.

Only darkness could be seen.

But vaguely, he could feel that the height of the mountain was at least 400 meters.

Turning his head to look at both sides of the grotto, Wu Tianqi was immediately horrified.

hiss!
For a moment, he couldn't help but gasp.

Because the rock walls on both sides of the grotto are at least several hundred meters wide.

The width of several hundreds of meters before and after is combined to form a huge underground valley.

This is not the main tomb yet.

But Wu Tianqi never expected that the layout used to set off the main tomb would be such a large underground space.

At the same time that Wu Tianqi was shocked, the people behind him also walked out of the mountain road.

After seeing the huge pattern in front of them, their mouths grew bigger.

Zhang Tianqi even murmured to himself: "Are we not under the Lishan Mausoleum City now?"

Wu Tianqi did not deny it, but nodded seriously.

"It seems we have finally reached the scope of the main tomb."

While speaking, Wu Tianqi looked around the space outside the mountain pass.

At the same time, people in the Exploration Bureau looked at the lens on Zhang Tianqi and were also shocked.

Wu Tianqi then began to face the underground valley in front of him.

Looking around, the vast field of vision still gave him a deep sense of powerlessness.

More importantly, the closer they got to the main tomb, the more dangerous the surrounding environment became.

Although this place is relatively vast, they should be more vigilant here since they did not encounter any traps on the previous mountain roads.

Wu Tianqi even suspected that this valley was the last hurdle before entering the main tomb.

So the mechanism here must be extraordinary.

While thinking about it, Wu Tianqi began to observe his surroundings with the help of a flashlight.

After confirming that there were no traps outside the mountain pass, he walked out.

Then he stood still, facing straight ahead, and began to take out the compass and calibrate the scale.

Soon, under Wu Tianqi's operation, the pointer on the compass gradually began to move.

I saw the branch above, gradually pointing to the mountain road behind him.

The golden needle representing the coffin slowly pointed towards the mountain directly ahead.

Seeing this scene, Wu Tianqi glanced at the mountain road pointed by the side branch with his peripheral vision.

For a moment, he had a guess in his mind.

The side branch should point to the escape hatch. If nothing else happens, they should take this road when they leave.

After thinking about all this, Wu Tianqi pointed to the compass and analyzed it to Zhang Tianqi and others: "It seems that there should be no means to interfere with the compass in this valley."

"Look at this side branch pointing to the mountain road behind us, which means there is a fork in the mountain road leading to the escape."

"This also proves from the side that the path we took before was correct. We entered through the Gate of Death before, and the Gate of Life and Death overlapped here."

"As for the direction the golden needle points to, if nothing else happens, it should be where the coffin is."

"Let's go take a look."

As he spoke, Wu Tianqi nodded to the people behind him, and then walked toward the mountain.

When everyone really stepped into the valley, they truly felt their own insignificance.

At this moment, everyone stood under the huge mountain, like a few slow-moving ants.

At the same time, as everyone continued to move forward, Wu Tianqi was still staring at the pointer on the compass, for fear of sudden changes.

Fortunately, the pointer did not change its direction when everyone actually arrived at the mountain, and was still pointing to the rocky cliff directly ahead.

Seeing this scene, Wu Tianqi compared the rocks in front of him and finally determined that the pointer was facing this mountain.

But the strange thing is that there does not seem to be any trace of the main tomb stone gate on this cliff.

Seeing this scene, Wu Tianqi couldn't help but become cautious.

Using the light of his flashlight, he began to carefully observe the condition of the rock wall.

Under the flashlight, Wu Tianqi could clearly see that there were no traces of any trap openings on the rocks on the cliff.

At the same time, there is no outline of door panels around.

Therefore, Wu Tianqi took two steps back and began to analyze.

"The inside of the tomb is huge."

"It just so happens that the direction pointed by the pointer is this mountain, and the hugeness of this mountain makes it entirely possible to build the main tomb."

"Let's all be careful. This place was restored like this by the tombkeeper, and other mechanisms must have been added."

Thinking of this possibility, Wu Tianqi bent down and picked up a stone half the size of a human head.

Then, he started hammering hard around the rock wall in front of him.

Boom!
Boom!
While tapping, Wu Tianqi listened carefully.

But the sound from the rock wall was a solid muffled sound.

No matter how it sounds, this rock wall cannot be too thin.

Unable to find any doubts, Wu Tianqi couldn't help but frown.

"The situation is not good."

"The compass is infallible, and judging from the pattern of the mountain, it is also the most likely place to hide the tomb of the First Emperor's Mausoleum."

"But I just hit the rock carefully with a stone, and the sound it made was very muffled."

"This proves that the rock wall in front of us is at least one and a half to two meters thick."

After listening to Wu Tianqi's explanation, everyone present could not help but feel the solemn atmosphere.

no way.According to Wu Tianqi, this tomb is inaccessible.

He already said that the rock wall is at least two meters thick.

Even if you use a machine to dig, it will take at least a day and a night.

Moreover, the cliff is so big that it would be unrealistic to use a digger to find the location.

At this time, Wu Tianqi was also making calculations in his mind.

indeed.

There is a high possibility that behind this rock wall is the main tomb of the First Emperor's Mausoleum.

But how to open it?
At this time, Wu Tianqi's attention was focused on the rock wall, but he did not notice the weirdness of the others.

I saw Zhang Tianhao standing two meters away to the left of Wu Tianqi.

But because of the different standing positions, the angle of the rock wall he saw was also different.

Looking sideways at where Wu Tianqi was standing, he seemed to feel a little strange.

Could it be that the real entrance to the First Emperor's Mausoleum is not a stone gate, but an underground passage?

Realizing this, Wu Tianqi hurriedly took a few steps to the left.

It was at this moment that the golden needle, which had been pointing at the rock wall without moving, also underwent a surprising change.

The golden needle turned ninety degrees and pointed towards Zhang Tianqi on his right.

Seeing this scene, Wu Tianqi's pupils shrank slightly.

So, the real entrance to the main tomb
Thinking of this, Wu Tianqi's eyes slowly fell on the place where he was standing before.

Then, he pointed to the place where he was standing before and said, "Now I finally know why the compass always points to the rock wall."

"Actually, the golden needle points not to the rock wall, but to the ground beneath my feet."

While speaking, Wu Tianqi slowly put down the compass.

Everyone also clearly saw that the golden needle was pointing to the ground.

Seeing this, everyone seemed to understand.

That's right.

They have always been preconceived before.

So Wu Tianqi no longer hesitated and directly took the stones from the ground and pounded the rocky ground under his feet.

Empty!

There was a hollow crunching sound on the rocky ground, and then Wu Tianqi moved one meter to the right and hit the ground with a stone again.

This time, the sound coming from the rock was a solid muffled sound.

Wu Tianqi's eyes immediately lit up when he heard the unusual sound on the rock.

So, he said with a sure expression: "It seems that my guess is correct. The rocky ground within one meter of my feet really makes different sounds from other locations."

"Look carefully, the connection workmanship of this rock is indeed very delicate. Even if I am so close, I can't see any flaws."

As he spoke, Wu Tianqi took a few deep breaths to suppress his excitement at the thought of entering the tomb of the First Emperor's Mausoleum soon.

Then, he motioned to everyone with his eyes.

As a result, several people present immediately took two steps back.

They all moved out of the way of this rock and at the same time illuminated the ground with flashlights.

After everyone exited the area, Wu Tianqi immediately took out the family dagger.

These rocks have no trace of connection at all and seem to be very difficult to pry open.

However, the craftsmanship of the Qin Dynasty was very poor, and it was impossible to burn the cement used to seal the rocks.

Therefore, there should be gaps in this rock, but the craftsmen are so skilled that they cannot be seen.

But if you look carefully, you should be able to find it.

So Wu Tianqi put his hand on the rock and carefully felt the touch while moving.

really!

After touching it a few times, he immediately noticed something unusual.

His left hand rested on a rock.

Sensing the existence of the gap, Wu Tianqi carefully pressed his hand against the stone gap.

At the same time, he pointed the sword tip down and inserted it vertically.

As the family dagger slowly penetrated, Wu Tianqi pressed the hilt of the sword and pressed down hard.

crunch~
As Wu Tianqi pressed down hard, the family dagger was inserted almost a foot deep.

Then, Wu Tianqi pried it up again.

As expected, he pried open a half-hand-wide gap in the rock below.

Zhang Tianhao came over with a look at this time, and hurriedly used the shovel Wu Tianqi had put aside to hold the stone crevice diagonally.

Wu Tianqi then pulled out the family dagger, and then held the stone slab with both hands.

Only then did everyone see the rocks below clearly.

This stone slab is about one meter square, and it looks as uneven as the surrounding rocks.

For a moment, everyone was looking forward to it.

But just when Wu Tianqi was about to push the stone away with force, he felt something was wrong.

What is going on under the stone slab can only be discussed later.

So Wu Tianqi didn't think any more, took a deep breath and flipped the stone slab to the other side.

But at this time, everyone was not in a hurry to see it, but avoided it one after another.

After waiting for a few seconds to confirm that no mechanism had been triggered, Wu Tianqi and the others cautiously approached.

As the flashlight illuminated the stone slab, the situation below was finally revealed to everyone.

But after he really saw what was underneath, Wu Tianqi's brows furrowed deeply.

I saw some kind of cellar opening below, it was just a second layer of stone slabs.

But the second layer of stone slabs is very smooth, and there is a circular convex grid of nearly fifty centimeters in the center of the stone slab.

Seeing this, Wu Tianqi looked a little ugly.

He looked closely and found that the arrangement of the grid seemed to be a pattern.

From the outside it looks like a grid divided into nine blocks.

It’s Jiugongge
Seeing this scene, Wu Tianqi did not rush to make a conclusion, but continued to observe other positions.

But as he looked to the left and right, his mind gradually became uneasy.

Because the surrounding areas of this stone slab are completely connected to the rocky ground on both sides.

It seems that the rock was processed directly on the ground.

In other words, there is no way to enter the tomb from below.

It was at this moment that Zhang Tianqi and others cautiously approached.

Jiugongge?
While thinking about it, he started to move the modules.

According to the ancients' understanding of the Jiugong grid, [-] is the shoulder, [-] is the foot, [-] on the left and [-] on the right, and [-] shoes are worn.

Five in the middle.

Horizontally and vertically, left and right, up and down, front and back, the sum total is fifteen.

Soon, the nine-square grid was spliced.

Strictly fit!

"This"

Zhang Tianqi was stunned immediately.

This is so strange. Last time it was the 36th house, but this time it is so simple?
Why does this feel like it was done intentionally by the tomb keeper?
It was at this time that Wu Tianqi hurriedly urged everyone: "Let's get away from here. There may be some agency nearby."

Speaking of this, Wu Tianqi raised his head and glanced at the towering mountain.

He swallowed subconsciously and continued: "This mountain is too huge. Once the mechanism is triggered, we may not even have a chance to escape."

With that said, Wu Tianqi turned to look at Zhang Tianqi and motioned for her to follow.

Then, everyone stood up carefully, avoiding the stone slabs on the ground, and walked quickly towards the mountain pass from where they came.

The valley is too large, and it is surrounded by towering cliffs.

Once rolling logs and rocks fall, only that mountain road is the safest.

When everyone arrived at the mountain pass, they walked a few steps further inside.

After they completely entered the mountain path, they squatted down in the center of the mountain path and waited.

For a moment, the scene was eerily quiet.

time passes by
At this moment, Wu Tianqi even vaguely heard an organic linking sound coming from the stone slabs in the distance.

After about 2 minutes, there was no abnormality on the cliff in the distance.

Only the flowing air formed in the valley blew the surrounding rocks, making strange noises.

For a moment, Wu Tianqi was a little confused.

But in the next moment.
Wu Tianqi suddenly pricked up his ears.

Because he suddenly heard a slight vibration in the distance.
