Chapter 283 Fighting the Imperial Tomb (07)

The sound of the rumbling water sounds like the rising tide of the sea, wave after wave, giving them the illusion of standing on the seashore at night, but the sound is too close, giving them the illusion of being submerged by huge waves at any time, they even I also heard the sound of something collapsing, as if the whole city was slowly collapsing...

"If we could seize a telescope before, we wouldn't have to be passive and ignorant of what happened." Zhao Chenggong grumbled as he walked.

"What's the use of saying this? What's the difference between what we see now and what we don't see?" Si Xuanyi looked at the time, "No matter what happened, we haven't found the way out yet. This is what we are about to face. biggest problem."

"Yeah, old man, don't you know Feng Shui? See which direction our auspicious position is in?" Zhao Chenggong said panting.

The woodcutter sneered: "The feng shui pattern here has been broken. Do you think there is still an auspicious position? Which direction is safe for everyone to rise to this point? Don't be so naive. If the scale and structure of the tomb here It is customary to see that the southeast should be where the gate of life is located, but I can tell you that before Lin Feng and I thought about going around all these places, we basically found out that there are waterfalls in every direction, and the southeast is no exception. There is no sign of going out. After combining our experience here, I finally understand why we can enter this place in a daze from the previous road, because it is an escape route, and the artisans escaped from here. Passage, in order not to become a victim or a sacrificial object, they dug that passage to connect several natural cave passages when building this place, so they saw traces of artificial construction in some places, and those craftsmen used the cover of the waterfall The passage dug in the space behind the waterfall runs through the underground lake and the cave we came in. If we were not threatened by those giant bats and salamanders, we would not be able to go deep into the entire cave. We discovered this place by chance, and Now it seems that there should be the direction of Shengmen, but even if we have the ability to go back now, it is impossible to find that place."

"What do you mean you can't find it?" Zhao Chenggong didn't seem to understand.

"Are you really stupid, or fake stupid? Now many things are submerged under the water, and the entire imperial city under our feet has been flooded. How can you say that the terrain is low?" Si Xuanyi flipped After reaching the ridge, he said, "Grandpa, look at this place where the roofs are really connected without leaving any gaps. According to the orthodox architectural structure, this should be impossible. The entire central building complex does not have a place that communicates with the outside, is it completely connected, is this an abnormality in itself?"

"Although this place has been built like an underground imperial city, it seems that if the owner of the tomb enjoys everything while alive, it is actually a tomb here, and it must follow the rules of burial science to a large extent. Therefore, the correct name for the entire underground imperial city should be the underground imperial mausoleum, and this main building should be the third layer of earth covering the coffin. The so-called mountain is one, the imperial city is two, and the house under our feet is three. What does this matter to me? I haven't figured it out yet, this is completely different from other burial styles, but I have some clues, but it's still unclear who is buried here? But now we probably don't have time to think about this issue." He said and looked To the distance, "What should happen will happen sooner or later, and it is inevitable."

"I forgot to ask those prisoners before." Si Xuanyi squatted on a roof and knocked on the black rubble at his feet, "It's empty below."

"There is a mechanism." The woodcutter uncovered a tile, and there were all steel wires underneath. He picked it up with his hand and frowned. "It's invalid? No wonder we walked so safely on it."

"It's also invalid?" Si Xuanyi remembered that they had encountered this situation when they were inside, and it seemed that the mechanisms here were slowly losing their effectiveness.

"Better, save trouble." Zhao Chenggong climbed to the highest ridge and looked into the distance, "Grandma, it seems to be foggy outside."

Si Xuanyi and the woodcutter also climbed up one after another. It was really foggy over there, and it was impossible to see what was going on at all. But it seemed that it was not so dark over there. It's not all darkness, there seems to be a glimmer of light.

"Sure enough, there is a flood. It's the light reflected by the water." The woodcutter looked at it for a while and frowned, "If I can see the water over there..."

He didn't go on, but both Si Xuanyi and Zhao Chenggong understood that although they couldn't see clearly now, they didn't need to think about how big the water was. This probably surpassed the scale of the flood, and it could be said to be thorough. Flooding, as the saying goes, water and fire are ruthless, is there any possibility for them to escape?
"I didn't expect such a situation." Zhao Chenggong said angrily looking at the distance.

"It's not time to die yet." After the experience of Savage Mountain, Si Xuanyi became more willful than before, and he would never give up easily.

"Then what should we do now?" Zhao Chenggong asked.

"Find a way not to be drowned," said the woodcutter angrily.

Suddenly, the feet trembled wildly, and the three of them almost fell from the top. They passed through the passage vaguely, and the sound of the stone wall collapsing came from a distance.

"Oops, the city wall has collapsed." The woodcutter cursed and jumped from the top.

"Old man, what are you doing?" Si Xuanyi asked loudly.

"Look for something, we'll have to go into the water in a while, the sound is loud, do you want to be sucked into the water?" the woodcutter ran towards the edge.

After hearing what he said, Si Xuanyi and Zhao Chenggong immediately understood that the matter was more serious than they expected. The water was fierce. It might be difficult to survive under such a strong water. They really wanted to find something to keep them afloat. Even if it is a piece of wood, where can I find it at this time?
When the three people ran to the edge, they realized that the water below was already very deep, at least two or three meters deep. They jumped directly from the top and swam to the nearest house, but when they got there, they realized that the doors and windows were already underwater Now, Si Xuanyi and Zhao Chenggong dived down and removed the two door panels, and then there was a place to focus on in front of them. The three of them supported the door panels and floated upwards. No one expected the water to come so fast. It has risen to the height of the roof, and they can clearly see a wave coming towards them from a distance...
