Chapter 201 The Mystery of the Two Tombs
After resting for a while, we continued to explore, because we had almost eliminated the main force of the old man Sima, and everyone felt a little relaxed.

Turning a corner, three strange passages appeared in front of it, which looked like sewage pipes.

"This is the way of snakes, the most insidious thing in the tomb." The Seventeenth Master said in a deep voice.

With a flashlight on, Fatty Wang approached carefully, took a photo inside, turned around, and said in confusion, "It looks very ordinary, how sinister is it?"

"Have you noticed the fine holes in the channel?" Master Seventeen asked back.

I walked a few steps closer, squinted my eyes, and saw that there were indeed many fine holes in the passage.

"The snake path is narrow, and you can only walk with your body bent, but the tiny holes in it will continuously fly out crossbow arrows and emit poisonous smoke. Basically, as long as you step in, you will be close to death." The Seventeenth Master said with narrowed eyes.

"So dangerous? Idiots just go in. Let's go back where we came from." Fatty Wang glanced at the circular passage again, his head shaking like a rattle, his fat cheeks trembling.

Fear flashed in Yin Xian'er's eyes, and she subconsciously took a step towards me, pinching the corner of her clothes nervously with her little hands.

The Seventeenth Master didn't speak, but looked at us with half a smile but not a smile.

I looked at Snake Road, and my heart moved. Since it was so dangerous, how did old man Sima and the others get there? There must be other ways.

"Gua Wazi, did you think of something?" Seventeenth Master looked at me with a smile.

I rubbed my nose in embarrassment. I have objections to the title "Gua Wazi", but the Seventeenth Master is an elder, can we jump out and raise an argument?
"It's not because you are confident, anyway, the sky is falling and there is a tall man standing on top of it, so why bother me." I flattered me lightly.

That old guy, Seventeenth Master, is very useful, and he can't find a crack in his eyes.

"Teach you a little boy, there must be a secret side passage next to the snake passage in the mausoleum, otherwise, if the owner of the tomb is dead, how will the coffin get there?" Master Seventeen revealed the mystery.

When I thought about it carefully, it was true. When this kind of mausoleum was built, the owner of the tomb was usually still alive. Seeing how narrow the snake passage was, it was really difficult for the coffin to pass through.

Master Seventeen reached into the snakeskin bag, took out a handful of glass beads, and scattered them around. Then he closed his eyes and listened.

We held our breaths one by one, for fear of disturbing Master Seventeen's judgment, glass beads were bouncing all over the floor, at least I couldn't hear anything.

After a while, Seventeenth Master opened his eyes, walked towards the stone wall, squatted down, and slowly tapped the ground with his hands, paying close attention to every inch.

"I found it." The Seventeenth Master said happily, took out a small crowbar from the snakeskin bag, and carefully lifted the floor tiles.

After removing the floor tiles, the mechanism hidden below was exposed. When the Seventeenth Lord moved the mechanism, there was a rubbing sound from the stone wall beside him.

The stone wall moved back slowly, revealing a boxy passage, and it was hard to see what was inside.

"Grandpa, your broken snakeskin bag is really a treasure bag." Fatty Wang flattered him.

The Seventeenth Master chuckled, and walked into the passage first, and we quickly followed.

Turning a corner, a spacious hall appeared in our sight, and a chilling air came over us.

"Hiss, what is it that stabbed Fat Master so painfully." Fatty Wang took a breath and twisted his body uneasily.

"It looks like a murderous look, and there are terracotta warriors inside." The Seventeenth Master said in a solemn tone.

I looked through the beam of the flashlight, and there seemed to be many pottery figurines neatly placed inside, which were a little far away, so I could only get a rough look.

"Hurry up and turn off the flashlight, don't disturb the terracotta warriors." Seventeenth Master said in a hurry.

After the flashlight was turned off, it was pitch black all around, Master Seventeen took out a black candle, and cautiously moved forward.

I was stabbed by the murderous aura that seemed to be real, but I didn't dare to be careless, so I walked lightly and followed closely behind.

The faint green flames can only illuminate a small area in front of us, and we slowly groped forward based on the memory just now.

After walking for about a few minutes, the first terracotta warriors appeared in our sight.

The terracotta warriors are somewhat similar to the Yin soldiers I saw, but there are still some subtle differences in armor and weapons.

"It's not right, it's very wrong!" The Seventeenth Master stood still, staring at the terracotta warriors in front of him, and muttered to himself in doubt.

"What's wrong?" I asked nervously.

"The appearance of the terracotta warriors on the opposite side is similar to that of Yin soldiers at first glance, but it is very different when you look closely." Seventeenth Master said in a heavy tone.

"Is there any relationship between this?" I didn't quite understand, so I asked suspiciously.

"What the terracotta warriors look like is what the Yin soldiers look like. The only explanation for this phenomenon is that the group of Yin soldiers patrolling the road did not come from this tomb." The Seventeenth Master turned around with a solemn expression.

"You always said that there is another mausoleum near here?" I asked in disbelief.

"Shuangling is a big taboo. No Feng Shui master will make such a mistake. There must be something weird in it." Seventeenth Master said in a hurry.

I recalled the records in the Broken Phrases, my complexion changed, I took out the compass, and stared at the beating pointer on it.

After calculating with my fingers for a moment, doubts flashed in my eyes, the geomantic omen of this place is very strange.

"Two mausoleums are put together, and one of them must be suppressed." The Seventeenth Lord reminded me inadvertently.

"So that's the case. No wonder the compass can't detect the trend of the earth's atmosphere. This is a feng shui bureau that steals the stars and changes the moon." I said suddenly.

Stealing the stars and changing the moon is a kind of feng shui magic used in tombs, which is very taboo.

"The game of stealing stars is a forbidden technique in burials, but it's no wonder that the feng shui of double dragons seizing pearls is hard to see in a thousand years. It is said that if buried here, the descendants will have a king." The Seventeenth Master squinted his eyes and sighed.

"Can you stop talking nonsense, and say something we can understand." Fatty Wang muttered from behind.

I turned around and glared at the coward, and explained in straightforward words: "There should be another mausoleum under our feet. The reason for this strange pattern is that some newcomers have also taken a fancy to the Feng Shui here."

"Don't worry about his mausoleums, it's very sinister here, let's quickly find Miss Xiaolei, and then withdraw." Fatty Wang crossed his arms and looked around uneasily.

I ignored Fatty Wang, put away the compass, turned around and looked at the terracotta warriors opposite.

It's a pity that I don't know anything about history, and I can't tell the age of the terracotta warriors, let alone determine the identity of the owner of the tomb.

"Judging from the armor and weapons, the terracotta warriors here are in the style of the Jin Dynasty." The Seventeenth Master said with his back to us.

"The Jin dynasty of the Sima family?" My eyelids twitched, thinking in my heart, is it such a coincidence?
Seventeenth Master turned around and was about to speak, when he suddenly looked aside and shouted, "Who's hiding there?"

I was startled, and immediately turned on the flashlight and looked over there, and saw a familiar figure twisting a mechanism on the wall.

"Lu Guotao!" I shouted in shock, and subconsciously threw the Gouyu sword, and this grandson didn't know what he was doing.

Lu Guotao looked at this side and smiled sinisterly, like a cunning mouse, scurrying into the tomb passage beside him.

There was a dull sound of the machine, and the passage we came from was blocked by a stone wall.

Gouyu sword hit the stone wall, made a crisp sound, and fell to the ground.

"It's over, we're locked up here, what should we do?" Fatty Wang asked with a mournful face.

After the stone door was closed, the muffled sound from behind the wall still did not stop, and there was also a strange sound coming from behind the wall.

With a sullen face, I stretched out my hand to recall the Gouyu sword. I had calculated thousands of times, but I didn't expect to relax for such a short while, and I fell into the plot of that grandson.

On the opposite side of the stone wall, several square gaps were exposed, and poisonous smoke was constantly coming out. What was even more frightening was that in the green smoke, some figures were faintly crawling towards this side.

"Oh my god, what the hell is that, run quickly." Fatty Wang shrank his neck and ran back.

My expression changed, I grabbed Fatty Wang's arm, and shouted in a low voice: "You are stupid, there are all terracotta warriors behind you, wake up these guys, and die faster."

"Then... what should we do then?" Fatty Wang asked with a trembling face, his face was ashen.

"There is an exit behind the group of terracotta warriors, but before the terracotta warriors are banned, we can't get through." Seventeenth Master said hurriedly.

That exit is very conspicuous, and I saw it too. The person who designed the mechanism in the hall had very vicious intentions. If we rushed there in a hurry and touched the terracotta warriors, we would only die worse.

"Find a way to block the gap first, so that the poisonous smoke can no longer spread." I stared at the rapidly spreading poisonous smoke, with anxiety flashing in my eyes.

"There seems to be something crawling towards us on the ground." Yin Xian'er said nervously.

In fact, I have seen those things a long time ago. The one in front is less than five meters away from here. It is green all over, with dry skin and flesh. It is a poisonous corpse.

If these evil things appear alone, they will not pose a great threat to us, but with the poisonous smoke that continues to spread here, the degree of threat is by no means as simple as one plus one.

"The organ that shuts down the poisonous smoke should be on the opposite wall. Come and cover me." Seventeenth Master took a deep breath, held his breath, and rushed to the opposite side.

I hesitated for a moment, and told Fatty Wang to be careful, and to follow closely behind Lord Seventeen to cover him.

After entering the area covered by the poisonous smoke, I held my breath, and a figure rushed towards us. It was the poisonous corpse in the front.

I threw out a piece of burning talisman and rushed over with the Gouyu sword tightly grasped. Before I got close, the poisonous corpse was beheaded by Lord Seventeen with a sword.

But this thing is evil, its head is separated from its body, and it even waved its arms to grab Seventeenth Master.

I went up to meet him, swung the Gouyu sword, and cut off an arm of the poisonous corpse. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw two other figures rushing towards me.

Don't look at these poisonous corpses. When crawling on the ground, their movements are a bit sluggish. Once they aim at the target, they move extremely quickly.

I bit my tongue hard, and spewed out a mouthful of blood mist, rich in yang energy, temporarily dispelling the surrounding poisonous mist, took a breath, held the Gouyu sword tightly, and faced the two poisonous corpses.

Seeing Master Shiqi flickering and wanting to come over to help, I hastily gestured for myself to hold the poisonous corpse and tell him to find the mechanism quickly.

The Seventeenth Master was also decisive, knowing that if the poisonous gas filled the entire hall, everyone would die in the end, so he rushed towards the opposite stone wall without saying a word.

I didn't dare to be scratched by the poisonous corpse, so I relied on the talisman paper to deal with these guys. The strenuous exercise accelerated the oxygen consumption, and I felt a burning pain in my chest.
