City Marshal

Chu Tian followed Zuo Qing all the way down.

After he entered the entrance of the cave and walked more than ten meters, he couldn't help but admire Zuo Qing and Zuo Lan. It is low, and the more you go inside, the wider it becomes, but it is not humid.

After walking more than ten meters, he was able to walk with his back straight. This made him quite amazed at the digging skills of the two of them. Although he knew that digging a hole was not difficult, it was not easy to dig such a beautiful hole. Zuo Lan and Zuo Lan It was a genius for Qing to dig out such a large and seemingly natural project.

At a turning point, the hole is on the next level.

After jumping from a height of nearly two meters, Chu Tian felt a shock on the soles of his feet and felt a dull pain, but he felt a little joy in his heart. Four or five handsome soldiers also jumped down one after another, and when Zuo Qing jumped down, he seemed to be a dead body. Like a zombie, the legs never bend.

Everyone was so bored in the passage just now, and they didn't know when it was the end. Now they jumped to an open place, and their hearts were greatly relieved. However, following the beam of light from the flashlight in the left blue hand, there was a seemingly long strip in front of them. In the long corridor, the beam of light did not reach the end!Chu Tian glanced around, he found that he was in the middle of a corridor, and there were endless passages in front and back, which made Chutian amazed again, he couldn't imagine that Zuo Qing and the others could dig such a passage to come here, It seems that I knew there was a tunnel here.

Afterwards, Chu Tian saw Zuo Lan appear: "Young commander, come here, this is the way forward!"

Zuo Qing also took a step forward, pointed to the passage behind and said, "I think there should be the entrance and exit of the mausoleum, and we have made mistakes. If we know that this is the mausoleum, we will definitely do everything possible to find the entrance, and it will definitely cost countless manpower. Materials, and time!"

"Yes!"

Zuo Lan hung the flashlight on the wall, and added with a chuckle: "Fortunately, we thought it was just a cave, and we got through it without thinking too much, and we didn't encounter any pillars, so we finally broke into it." This corridor, in other words, we are breaking through the wall now!"

Chu Tian didn't care about this. After looking around the gap, he took out a knife and marked the wall, and then said to Zuo Qing and the other two: "Let's go ahead and see, I want to know which emperor this is." The tombs of relatives are actually buried in this location in the capital!"

Zuo Qing nodded lightly, with one hand on his side: "Young commander, please!"

Zuo Lan walked in front holding a flashlight, Zuo Qing and Chu Tian walked side by side in the middle, and four or five handsome army brothers followed behind, two of them were carrying two boxes, which were the toolboxes of Zuo Qing and Zuo Lan , Since ancient times, mausoleums have been dangerous places, let alone such a large-scale one!After walking tens of meters, Zuo Lan stopped.

Chu Tian looked at it with the light of the flashlight, shit!There is actually a five-forked road ahead, five passages that cannot be seen clearly. In this kind of ghost place, two roads are enough to make people's scalp tingle, and now there are five roads, which obviously make people spurt blood. In other words, the risk factor is high increase.

"Which direction are we going now?" Zuo Lan asked slowly, his eyes filled with confusion.

Chu Tian glanced at her, sighed wryly, "I should be the one who asked you this question."

Zuo Lan's face turned red. The underground passage gave her too much shock, which made her temporarily lose her composure and determination. She used the flashlight to carefully identify the signs at both ends of the passage, tapped the wall again, and then raised her head: " I think it's better for us to take the middle passage!"

"In this way, if you make a mistake, you can listen to the movement on both sides!"

Chu Tian nodded slightly: "Okay, let's move forward."

He looked as usual, as if he didn't care about it.

Zuo Lan didn't go forward immediately, but opened the toolbox and took out a nail. After nailing it into the wall, he took out a bundle of water line from inside, tied one end to the nail, and wrapped the rest of the water line in his hands. Seeing Chu Tian stunned, he explained: "In this way, you won't be afraid that you won't be able to come back!"

Chu Tian nodded approvingly: "You are really thoughtful!"

After the deployment was completed, Zuo Lan walked forward again, and Zuo Qing leaned against Chu Tian as if protecting him. Lan observed the movement around him, but found that all he could see were bluestones.

Under the strong light of the flashlight, a faint green light began to glow on the wall at some point, and an ominous feeling slowly surged in Zuo Lan's heart. Before she could figure something out, five forked roads appeared ahead, Lan was taken aback, and couldn't help but turned to look at Chu Tian and said, "Young Marshal, which way should we go?" Chu Tian didn't answer, but was playing with a knife in his hand.

Zuo Qing thought for a while, then sighed softly: "Let's go with the one in the middle."

Zuo Lan subconsciously turned her head to look at Zuo Qing, seeing that her face was also cloudy in the shadows, she felt a chill in her heart, but she had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk from the central road, you know, they are all Tang Dalong I have seen more tombs than buildings!But it is the first time to see such a five-fork road today.

About 10 minutes away, Zuo Lan hadn't come to the end yet, and he was even more astonished. Although they walked carefully, they were not slow at all. If you count the speed of one meter in three seconds, they can walk at least 10 meters in 200 minutes The appearance, plus the previous distance, has been 500 meters.

How did this tomb have such a large scale?Unknowingly, another monotonous five-forked intersection appeared ahead. Zuo Lan no longer asked Chutian and Zuo Qing. Within hours, seven people walked through an unknown number of intersections.

Chu Tian's face became more and more dignified, but he remained clear.

Zuo Lan and Zuo Qing seemed a little irritable. Although they had experienced many battles in the tomb robbery, no one could stand such endless circles. They didn't act aggressively.

When he came to a five-forked road again, Chu Tian stopped suddenly: "Wait, how far have we walked?" Zuo Lan glanced at the water line in his hand, and sighed softly: "About 3000 meters."

"3000 meters?" Chu Tian said slowly: "We seem to be moving forward all the time?" Seeing that everyone was nodding, Chu Tian pondered: "After we arrived at this corridor, we went straight to the east. There is a road more than ten meters to the east. The moat, if we have really come this far, we should have reached the moat by now!"

The moat is next to Baiyun Villa, and the water for the lakes in the village comes from there.

Zuo Qing didn't expect Chu Tian to be so rational now, and he said in admiration, "Young commander, what problem do we have now?" Chu Tian raised his finger and said with a wry smile, "If we walked three kilometers, I've counted From the height of the ground falling into the corridor, we will never pass under the moat, so it stands to reason that we are now either swimming in the moat, or sticking to the river wall to listen to the sound of splashing water."

"But now..." Chu Tian raised his finger, pointing to the never-ending tunnel: "Is there the sound of water?" It's not that the corridor is too long, but that they are always going around in circles, and Zuo Lan figured out the reason in an instant: "This corridor seems to be going straight forward, but in fact, every step is deflected!"

Chu Tian solemnly nodded, and then tapped the knife on three different places on the wall. Each time the strength was the same, but each echo was different. The first place was slightly crisp, and the second place was thicker. , the third place did not echo at all, which shows that its thickness is not the same.

Putting the knife back, Chu Tian sighed softly: "The thickness of the walls is different, and the direction is naturally also deviated. This shows that the designer used the darkness of the corridor to confuse intruders. In fact, this corridor is a concentric circle. No matter we No matter how you go, you will turn back to the five-forked road!"

"The more persistent you are, the more likely you are to die of exhaustion!"

Zuo Lan frowned, and asked aloud: "Then what should I do?" Chu Tian showed the courage of a decision-maker. Once he figured out something, he could find a solution in an instant. He pointed his finger and said with a faint smile: "Five The fork means that there are five concentric circles, walking along the corridor will never end, but there is one thing that cannot be changed!"

"That means the tomb must be in the center of the concentric circle!"

Zuo Qing suddenly realized, and took up the topic with a slap on the head: "Understood!"

Then he frowned again: "But how do we get in? We have already entered the corridor without even seeing the entrance and exit. Do we need to exit and dig again? This seems to be too difficult!"

Chu Tian shook his head lightly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Don't be so troublesome, we broke through the wall just now, so we just need to find the passage closest to the tomb, and then find a way to break the wall, and then we can enter The target, although the wall is thick..." "But it's much easier than digging to find the entrance again!"

Zuo Qing and Zuo Lan nodded: "Understood!"

Immediately afterwards, he looked around and showed a wry smile: "Young Marshal, although your idea is good, which passage is the closest to the tomb? You can't knock down every corridor? You must know that the design of these tombs is very strange. Ingenuity!"

"Break through a corridor, maybe it's okay!"

"But if all five are broken, the entire tomb may collapse."
