Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 204 Mercury Maid
I couldn't help but look at Professor Xu, and sure enough, I saw his eyes darken. It seems that if the boy can't control it well, he might really become another indifferent person!
But as Yazai's foot stepped on the tomb passage, there was a burst of arrows crackling, I no longer had the heart to study these things, and my eyes followed Yazai, for fear that he would make a mistake.

call out!
The first arrow feather flew past Yazai's chest, and as soon as he lowered his head, the second arrow feather passed by his scalp, cut off a few hairs, and nailed it to the opposite tomb with a ding the wall.

Then came the second and third ones, every time they brushed the boy's body, if there was even a few tenths of a second off, he might be pierced.

The arrow feathers got faster and faster as they went to the back, and Yazai's movements also gradually became faster.

Soon he was halfway there. Although he didn't take a wrong step, his body was still scratched by the arrow feathers, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, looking extremely embarrassed.

After halfway through, not only the speed of the arrow array became faster, but also the number increased a lot. Yazai almost looked for the little gap in the arrow feathers, and then used the flexibility of his body to pass through it.Before he could take a breath, he was overwhelmed by the next burst of arrow feathers.

When he got to this position, if something happened to Lao Yan, they would not be able to rescue him in time, and everything would depend on us.So both the gun god and I tensed up, and the latter even took out his double guns. Obviously, if something happened to the boy, he would use his marksmanship to give the boy a chance.

And the last meter!
Seeing that the baby boy is coming soon, not only did I not relax, but I became even more nervous.

Everyone knows that the last point of this mechanism is the most difficult, because the first four meters have almost consumed most of his physical strength and endurance, and the last meter, what he fears most is that he will have problems due to lack of physical strength .

After all, among us, apart from Medicine Jars and Professor Xu, the boy has the weakest physical strength.

And we all underestimated Yazai, even though the last meter was difficult, even though I saw his legs trembling, he still walked over steadily.

When he took the last step and fell limply to the ground, the last arrow feather pierced the wall with a ding.

"Are you okay?" I immediately helped the boy up, feeling a little worried seeing so many scratches on his body.

He waved his hand: "What kind of injury is this? It's just that I'm out of strength. You have to help me up."

As he said that, he actually stared at me with the expression that if I didn't help him, I would let him down, which gave me goosebumps all over my body.But I'm also relieved, because he still has the intention to make fun of it, which proves that he is really fine.

At this time, Lao Yan and the others also came over. Seeing the shocked expressions on their faces and the sweat that hadn't been wiped off their foreheads, they knew that they had also suffered a lot of fright just now, especially Professor Xu, whose eye sockets were still red.

Professor Xu is very different from us. Although he is also a member of 701, he has always used his brainpower. We have escorted him in such a dangerous situation, so he is not as big-hearted as we are.

"It's another stone gate, don't you need bloodletting? If you do another bloodletting, I'm going to fall down." Yazai said weakly.

Professor Xu stepped forward to study it, and his face changed. We thought something serious happened, and we heard him say that the stone gate has no mechanism and can be pushed open directly.

"Same as before?" Lao Yan frowned. The door that could be opened directly before was filled with obsidian and flying corpses. I don't know what's inside this one?
I smiled and said that I have passed through so many barriers before, no matter what he is this time, just break through again, and I stepped forward and pushed open the stone door.

As soon as the stone door was opened, candlelight came out from inside, which made our vision clearer.

"It's the Shadow Palace!" I took a look and was sure.

Then I walked in, and I was terrified by the scene in front of me when I went in—dozens of lifelike maids were standing on both sides of the shadow palace, each of them was holding a bamboo lantern, and the candlelight was coming from them It came out from the hands of the master, and each of them had a smile on their faces, as if they were ready to obey the master's call at any time.

If this smile was seen when they were alive, it must be extremely beautiful, but now that they have all died for thousands of years, this smile on their faces is extremely permeable!
There was nothing among these maids, but the masters they were supposed to serve were not seen.

I counted them, and there were 23 corpses in total. Everyone's posture was a little different, but the difference was not too big.

Professor Xu leaned in front of a female corpse to study it, and said with a dark face, "When they were still alive, they made a hole in their heads and filled them with mercury."

I frowned. There were mass graves and blood sacrifices in the front, and the mercury maid in the back. My impression of Marquis Yi of Zeng could be said to have been directly reduced from a handsome gentleman to a tyrannical fool.

It's just that this happened thousands of years ago, and it has nothing to do with me, so I just slandered a few words in my heart and didn't say much.

"There seems to be words on these lanterns." Professor Xu snorted, and slowly looked over from the first corpse with a magnifying glass.

I thought it would take him a long time to look like this, so I wandered around the shadow palace.

In addition to these 23 corpses, there are also some funerary objects in the shadow palace. In addition to some gold, silver and jade wares, there are actually a large number of musical instruments.

"Is this the pan flute?" Lao Yan pointed at the two rotten bamboo instruments.

I looked over and saw that the shape of the pan flute he was talking about was very unique, like one wing of a phoenix. Each pan flute was arranged in sequence with thirteen thin bamboo tubes of different lengths, wrapped with three split thin bamboo tubes. The surface is decorated with red triangular pattern lacquer painting on a black background, which looks extremely beautiful.

Yazai hurriedly took pictures of the pan flute from various angles, and said with emotion: "At present, no pan flute has been unearthed in our country. I have only seen its appearance in historical documents. Lao Yan, does the tomb of Zenghouyi exist?" How many good things did you get?"

"I don't know, as far as I can see, if this tomb is excavated, the archaeological team may not have to do other things for several years. They just need to study these things." Lao Yan shrugged his shoulders.

Later, we also found musical instruments such as sheng, qin, and se in the shadow palace. If there were people sitting in front of each instrument, it would be possible to hold a concert.

Old Yandao: "This is about moving in the place where they entertain guests."

Isn't it? It's a maid and a musical instrument. In that dynasty, it could only be used for banqueting guests or having fun.

Yazai took pictures with the camera almost all the way, Lao Yan persuaded him that he would have time to take pictures after he went out and let the archaeological team take over, but he felt that the pictures taken in the tomb were the first-hand information.And what if the members of the archaeological team accidentally let these things see the outside air and be destroyed?
"You don't believe in Gu Shunzhang's ability?" Lao Yan said helplessly.

Yazai snorted: "As for his ability that almost wiped out the entire archaeological team, do you make me believe it?"

The old smoke he said had nothing to say, even though he knew that the situation could not be resolved by Gu Shunzhang, but the loss this time was too heavy, so it was hard to excuse him.

We walked around the entire shadow palace, and looked at Professor Xu after we couldn't find anything.

His movements were very slow, and he only researched the No.11 corpse, and he seemed to have encountered a difficulty with this corpse. After studying for a long time, there was no movement, and he just stood there stupidly.

Just as the boy was about to go over to call him, he saw Professor Xu reaching out his hand tremblingly to touch the bamboo lantern on the dead woman's hand.

Seeing his excitement, it should be something very valuable engraved on this bamboo lantern!
