Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 202
"What's wrong?" Gun God asked while supporting me.

I calmed down: "It's all broken fingers, Lao Yan, what does this mean?"

"Sacrifice blood." Before Lao Yan could speak, Team Bai said, "It is said that Marquis Yi of Zeng also likes blood in addition to rituals and music. It was a sacrifice, so that he could be summoned by him. People at that time were sincere, and it was said that Marquis Yi of Zeng liked to cut off his fingers, so everyone who came to see him would cut off his own finger. Anyway, if you cut off your finger, you will see blood , Marquis Yi of Zeng didn't specifically remind him."

Her words gave me goosebumps all over my body. I originally thought that Marquis Yi of Zeng loved ritual and music and should be a gentleman, but I didn't expect to have such a weird hobby!
Lao Yan responded quickly: "So we have to use our own blood or severed fingers to open this bluestone door?"

"That's right." The white team nodded: "It should be enough to only use blood, but it should be particular about where the blood is placed. Professor Xu, please take a look again."

After listening to the conversation between the two of them, Professor Xu's face became a little strange. He nodded quickly when he heard the instructions, and then stepped forward again, slowly groping on the bluestone gate.

After groping for 10 minutes, Professor Xu's hand stopped at the foot of the right side of the bluestone gate.

He knelt down and wiped away the dirt at the foot of the stone gate with his hands, only to see a small urn appear there.

The urn was about the size of a bowl, and its original color could no longer be seen. The whole body was stained black with blood.

"It should be here." Professor Xu sniffed it: "It's coagulated blood. Although the smell is very light, I can't smell it wrong!"

Bai Dui gave a grunt, walked up first, cut his hand with a dagger, and put a few drops of blood in, but there was no movement at the Qingshi Gate.

I looked at the urn and a thought popped into my head: "This thing doesn't have to be full, does it?"

The white team glanced at me, and then said it was very possible, and then she let out some more blood: "You guys also let out a little, who knows what's weird about this Qingshimen, if you don't have bloodletting, you can't get in, or something will happen to you , that would be bad."

We followed the advice and everyone went up to let some blood, because the medicine jar was weak, so he just made a point of it.

After all the bloodletting was done, the Qingshi gate creaked, and the whole thing shrank into the ground, and was buried in the ground with a bang after 1 minute.

What appeared in front of our eyes was a wide avenue, but the tomb walls on both sides of the avenue were full of finger-wide holes, which almost clearly told us that there was a mechanism here!

Lao Yan grabbed a stone and threw it over, but the hole in the wall of the tomb did not move at all.

"Could it be a cover-up?" Lao Yan thought for a while.

I saw that he lost his patience after trying a few times, so I stepped forward and said that I would go up and try.

Lao Yan disagreed, saying that Zeng Guo's tomb is in danger everywhere, and there must be something weird in the tomb passage.

"We finally opened the Qingshi Gate. We can't just wait here, right? If there is something weird, we have to try it before we know what's weird. Don't worry, I'll be fine." I said calmly.

I have just carefully looked at the scattered holes of the same size on the wall of the tomb, even if there are traps, they will not cover the entire tomb passage, so even if there are traps, they will still be alive.

Seeing that I insisted on doing this, Lao Yan took out a piece of clothing from his bag and explained: "This is a soft armor with gold silk that I have collected in the past few months. It is from a small tomb. It is not considered a national treasure. It stayed in 701, and this time it was specially brought out, so you can put it on before you go.”

"Okay!" I didn't say no, after all, I only have one life, so it's good to have multiple guarantees.

I put the soft armor under my coat, and then slowly walked up the tomb passage with a pistol.

One step, two steps... until I got halfway there, there was no movement.

I breathed out: "It seems that it was really a false alarm, come here."

Lao Yan and the others also heaved a sigh of relief, and they all went up the tomb passage one by one. At this moment, I heard a slight noise, which seemed to come from the tomb walls on both sides!
"Go back quickly!"

I yelled suddenly, and Lao Yan quickly pulled the boy and the medicine jar beside him, and the white team also quickly protected Professor Xu and retreated. As for the gun god, he had already retreated before I could finish my sentence.

After they withdrew, the slight sound disappeared, but the tips of arrows could be faintly seen in the holes in the tomb walls on both sides.

"What's the principle?" I stood in the middle of the tomb passage, frowning.This mechanism seems to be able to count the number of people. It will be triggered when everyone stands up, but it will not move unless everyone is there.

Everyone couldn't figure it out. Even if the white team said that it might be because of the blood we let out at the door, we couldn't believe it. After all, the blood is similar. How can these dead objects be judged?
"No, if that's the case, why don't we just go there one by one? What's the meaning of the existence of this institution?" Yazai spoke seriously, and his words really aroused our consideration.

Lao Yan nodded in agreement, saying that this mechanism must have other trigger mechanisms. No matter how smart the ancients were, they could not judge how many people were based on blood, and there was no need to wait for all the people to come up before triggering the mechanism. This is consistent with the original intention of the mechanism design. does not match.

I stood in the middle, and I was relieved because I thought that everyone would come up to trigger the mechanism, but now listening to their discussion, I just feel that those arrows will fly out in the next second and tie me into a hedgehog!Therefore, he did not dare to move, and was ready to run away at any time.

"Chang'an, can you see if you have any clues?" Lao Yan asked.

I kept my torso still and looked around with a flashlight, but found nothing except the holes and the arrows inside.

Lao Yan frowned, took out a cigarette and was about to light it, but was snuffed out by the white team: "Why don't you change your habit, no wonder you can't get a wife today."

"Master, can it be because I smoke that I can't marry a wife?" Lao Yan spread his hands helplessly, but he didn't ignite it after all. He just put it on the base of his nose and smelled it. Go up one by one to see when the arrow array will be triggered.

"No!" Professor Xu resolutely objected: "You are taking Chang'an's life to try. What if the arrow array is triggered and we have no time to stop it, what will he do?"

The white team also disagreed, saying it was too risky to do so.

Lao Yan glanced at me: "Chang'an, what do you say?"

"Okay." I agreed, not because I'm not afraid of death, but because if we spend all this time here, we'd be dead, so we might as well fight to the death.

The white team looked at me, a little worried but also a little appreciative.

Professor Xu looked at me but sighed: "You baby, why do you always take your own life for granted?"

"Professor Xu, I'll be fine." I gave him a reassuring look, then nodded at Lao Yan: "You start!"
