The bad emperor of Tang Dynasty

Unexpectedly, the scale of this underground mausoleum is quite huge. Guo Nuan and Cui Ying walked several hundred meters in the corridor before reaching the end of the tunnel door.

Guo Nuan's main concern is that there are hidden devices in the tunnel, such as flaps on the floor, quicksand on the top of the head, and so on.However, apart from the hundreds of pieces of rags, silks, satins and gold silks discarded here and there by the two grave robbers, he didn't find any other suspicious traps.

Holding up the seventh burning stick, Guo Nuan and the others had been in the dark corridor for half an hour.This made him secretly anxious. The killer on the ground was not an idiot. Seeing such a mausoleum in the mountains, he couldn't help guessing that Guo Nuan and Cui Ying were hiding.

After walking two hundred steps, a large stone gate carved with a ghost face with fangs appeared in front of him. Guo Nuan shone a flame on the stone gate and opened the gap that was one person wide. It was pitch black inside.

"Let's go." The tomb robber did not know how to forcibly pry open the stone door, which weighed over a thousand catties. Guo Nuan found that there were two white hooks on the door knocker after prying it open with a flat object.

Entering a dark room, Guo Nuan led Cui Ying to grope around. The area irradiated by the flames was very small, only a few square meters, and the rest of the surrounding area was swallowed up by darkness. The only sound in the air was the sound of their footsteps and breathing.

"Idiot, is this the coffin room? It's too dark, and it feels a little spooky." Cui Ying said nervously, holding the corner of Guo Nuan's back tightly, fearing that she might be separated from him.

"Well, I don't know, it's strange, but there should be an ever-burning light in the corner of the wall of the tomb? Why isn't it on?"

Guo Nuan and the two staggered to the wall in a smear, and then Guo Nuan touched a wooden mortise and tenon structure pillar. He guessed it was a beam supporting the indoor dome. It has not decayed after hundreds of years, so it is likely to be rare wood.

Guo Nuan secretly sighed, if the wood such as red sandalwood and huanghuali, touched the thick wooden pillars on the wall, it would be a few hundred catties, and it would be thousands of taels when folded into silver, it is really precious.

Guo Nuan and the others moved slowly along the wall from a corner of the room, and after a while they found a stone platform with a height of half a person. A small section as thick as a thumb, and Guo Nuan immediately lit it.

The wick crackled a few times, and at first there was a small faint blue flame, and then it grew bigger and bigger, and in the blink of an eye, a half-foot-high light burst out, illuminating half of the surrounding tomb.

"Wow, here are a lot of clay pots, bronze tripods, and some cloth."

Cui Ying exclaimed in surprise when she saw piles of funerary objects placed on the central table in the two hundred square meter room.

Guo Nuan quickly lit another permanent lamp on the opposite corner of the wall, and then the whole room was lit up.Looking up at the roof of the room, it is true that eight arched wooden beams are assembled together with a mortise and tenon structure, and all the wood supports the ceiling above.

The surrounding stone walls are painted with 28 constellations, tortoises, snakes, cranes and other gods and animals, which are lifelike.There are two door openings on the left and right sides of a wall opposite the stone gate, and two dark stone step tunnels winding down.

"It seems that this is just a palace room for storing some ordinary funerary objects, nothing special."

Guo Nuan picked out a piece of silk cloth from a stone platform, tied it to one end of a long animal horn tube, soaked it in a large vat of lamp oil from a long-burning lamp, and then lit it to make a simple torch.

"Let's move on and see what else is below."

Guo Nuan called out to Cui Ying, who was lingering, and she was reluctant to part with her money-losing face. After dawdling for a while, she stopped fiddling with the various utensils on the table, and the two walked towards the doorway on the left.

As the tunnel got deeper, the first floor turned into three floors, twisting and turning, and they were all dizzy. Fortunately, Guo Nuan secretly marked the corner of the tunnel with the charcoal he picked up from the ground, otherwise he really didn’t know how to get out. .

Guo Nuan and the two walked relatively slowly. Guo Nuan found that this secret passage was very clean. The corridor made of square piebald stones was almost not as scattered as the previous passage. It leads to another doorway, which they have never been in.

"Uh! Stop, there seems to be a sound, similar to da da, da, da da..., and rhythm!"

Immediately, Guo Nuan whispered suddenly, and waved to stop Cui Ying who was behind her.He squatted down and put his ear to the floor as if listening to something.Cui Ying didn't dare to vent her anger and tried to keep quiet.

"There seems to be footsteps, probably a person, tens of meters away from us..." Guo Nuan has been learning Huang's archery, and after training his ears, Guo Nuan became more sensitive. He quickly noticed the abnormal noise. After standing up on the ground, He looked solemn under the flickering light of the torch.

"What should I do?" Cui Ying was a little nervous and asked in a whisper.

"Turn off the fire first, you wait here, I will go the same way and check the situation."

"Will it be dangerous..." Cui Ying was a little worried and wanted to prevent Guo Nuan from taking risks.

"It's okay. I'm in the dark. If you're one-on-one, nothing will happen." Guo Nuan touched Cui Ying's head and comforted her kindly.

After Guo Nuan handed Cui Ying a dagger, he immediately extinguished the torch. With another dagger in his mouth, he walked along the corridor alone.

Sneaking back, the corridor was very dark without torches, but Guo Nuan had been training his night vision ability. After a while, his vision became a little brighter. When he looked carefully at the wall, he could faintly intersect the cracks in the wall.

Water seeped into the surrounding walls, and apart from the dripping sound of dripping water in my ears, the footsteps I overheard disappeared.Guo Nuan was still calm, with a dagger in his mouth to prevent unintentional noises, and he walked slowly sideways with his back against the wall.

Suddenly at the corner, Guo Nuan found a dark human-shaped shadow, but its movements were weird, like a zombie, jumping and making rattling sounds, with a round body and lower parts. ． ．

Guo Nuan was startled, her eyes widened in the dark, and she couldn't help thinking: "Grandma's, is this a human being? How can you tell it looks like it has three legs from a distance? It can still jump vigorously."

No matter how much, when encountering gods and gods, encountering ghosts and ghosts, Guo Nuan immediately gritted his teeth, touched it quietly, bent his waist at a curved corner, and was ready for that unknown shadow object to approach at any time.

"Pfft—" There was a strange sound.It was a bit harsh in the narrow and dead corridor.Uh, how does this look like fart?Guo Nuan, who was leaning against the wall, was a little speechless. He poked his head out and looked forward again. The guy walked for a long time, and Guo Nuan's feet were numb after waiting. Hard.

"Oops!" Guo Nuan watched as a dark guy came to the corner, and then stretched out a stumbling foot. Suddenly, the man fell to the ground with an oops, and then a wooden crutch fell off with a bang.Guo Nuan jumped on the man's back and rode on him, quickly clasped his arm behind his back with one hand, then wrapped his wrists to press down, and strangled the guy's neck forcefully.

"Yeah—be gentle, it hurts!" Guo Nuan pressed hard on his elbow, and he immediately yelled.Riding on that man felt like climbing up a mountain of meat, full of fat and chubby.

"Say, you sneaky guy, who are you!" Guo Nuan raised a hand and held a dagger against the fat man lying on the ground and asked.

"Brother, be gentle, I misunderstood, I'm a good person~" The two of them lay on the ground together, the fat man turned his head and looked at Guo Nuan on his back with his big bright eyes, his face was tearful from the pain, and hurriedly shouted.

Guo Nuan twisted the fat man's elbow hard, and howled again.

"Oh, I'm the tomb robber Zhang Dabiao. I was betrayed by my accomplices, and all the valuables were taken away. It's his grandma's fault. It's my fault that I trust that stupid grandson so blindly..." Fatty Zhang Dabiao whimpered and complained.

Guo Nuan figured out his origin, combined with the previous speculation and what he said, and then let him go and stood up.

"呵~痛, this master has really strong hands, hehe." Lighting up a wooden stick, the two looked at each other's faces.

The fat man Zhang Dabiao in front of him picked up the wooden stick on the ground and crutched, one leg was injured, and he smiled honestly at Guo Nuande.

"How many days have you been here?" Guo Nuan asked him curiously.

"It's been six days. I wanted to come in to touch gold, but I didn't expect that it was the first time I partnered with someone else, and I was betrayed by the guy who was paid a thousand dollars by Liang Si."

The fat man was still very resentful, and when he mentioned that partner, he couldn't help but feel the fat on his face quivering with anger.
