Chapter 27
It turned out that after Zhao Longyu and I jumped down the passage, the floor of the tomb was closed again.They had no choice but to re-enter the three passages and open the three push-pull mechanisms.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the passage was opened again, some zongzi chased out from other openings.In desperation, they jumped down together.

In the tomb below, they saw Zhao Longyu's body, but they didn't see me, so they guessed that something happened.

"Have you seen General Zongzi?" Hearing this, I asked hastily.

Xin Ran was puzzled, but asked: "What General Zongzi? When we came down, there was only... Uncle Yu's body in the tomb below, and nothing else." When it came to Uncle Yu, Xin Ran's voice obviously paused.

I roughly told them about what happened after I came down, and they all listened very attentively, and even showed surprise when they heard about the cliff ladder, underground slide, and spiral stone steps.

"You can do it! Compared with you, what happened to us after we came down is nothing!" Su Heluo slammed his mouth after hearing this, and seemed to think of something again, and said quickly: "You just said that the stone pillar below Did you see a lot of human bones in the slideway? Unexpectedly, really unexpected! Shuangjiu’s design is so ingenious!”

I was puzzled and asked: "What do you mean? What's so clever?"

"Do you know what the responsibility of the Shuangjiu clan is?" Seeing me and Xinran shaking their heads, Su Heluo looked at Qi Lao, nodded, and continued: "In ancient times, Shaohao, one of the five emperors, appointed the Shuangjiu clan As a Sikou, the position of the Sikou is to be in charge of the prison. You understand."

It wasn't until then that I suddenly realized, and said, "Could it be that you mean that the design of the stone pillar slideway can transport ore on the top and detain prisoners on the bottom, which can be used for both purposes?"

Su Heluo nodded and said, "It's not too stupid."

What he said didn't sound like a compliment. I smiled awkwardly, turned to look at Xinran, and asked, "Xinran, how did you come to this tomb?"

"We turned on the switch of the tomb below, entered the ear chamber on one side, followed the passage of the ear chamber, and turned into a painted corridor. But there are two zongzi in the corridor, just pushing and pulling with us The same thing we encountered at the door! Although we had the gun left by Uncle Yu, the monster couldn’t be killed at all. Finally, we found a mezzanine on the wall. After breaking through the wall, we fell into the tomb below. It took me a long time to come here!" Xin Ran explained.

"I see." I agreed.

When Xin Ran was speaking, Elder Qi had been standing under the jade basin and looking at the ground, he was the one who shouted "don't move" just now, it seemed that Elder Qi knew something.Pointing to the jade basin picked up by Shi Ying, I asked Elder Qi: "Master, please tell me, what is contained in this jade basin?"

Mr. Qi shook the ground under the jade basin with his flashlight, signaling us to come over.Then he looked up at the jade basin above his head with a complicated look in his eyes, which seemed to be... longing.

When we came to Mr. Qi, we discovered that there were densely packed small characters engraved on the ground here, which looked like Yanwen.

I took a cursory look and found that there were not many characters that I could recognize.I looked at Xinran, and she also looked at me in a daze, looking at me and spreading her hands.

On the other hand, Su Heluo had a surprised expression on his face, his eyes widened as he looked at him for a long while, before he looked up at Elder Qi, and asked in a trembling voice: "This...is it true? Are you Already know?"

Qi Lao nodded lightly, and said with emotion: "I didn't expect it to be true, we really found it!"

They were playing charades, and Xinran and I were both confused and anxious.I poked Su Heluo and asked, "What's written on it? Translate, translate."

Su Heluo gave me a blank look, but Jian Xinran also looked at him very curiously, then cleared his throat, and said, "There is a shocking secret recorded on it. Originally, I was still curious, why the Shuangjiu family's territory has The footprints of the Yan people are now clear, and this group of Yan people also came to rob the tomb."

Hearing what he said, I scoffed in my heart. I knew this a long time ago, and Mr. Qi had already told me in the passage.

But what he said next was something I didn't expect...

"This is an army of the State of Yan. The leader is Huang Feng, a powerful general under Le Yi, the famous general of the State of Yan. When Le Yi led his army to attack Linzi, the capital of the State of Qi, Le Yi received a secret order from King Yan Zhao, and then They sent Huang Feng to lead an army here to find something for King Yanzhao. When they came here, they found that the descendants of the Shuangjiu clan still lived here in seclusion. After the First World War, Huang Feng's army slaughtered the descendants of the Shuangjiu clan outside. Exhausted."

"It's too cruel." Xin Ran sighed.

But my focus was on what they were looking for, and I asked, "What exactly did they come looking for?"

"It's the secret of eternal life!"

What? !eternal life? ?I was shocked when I heard this answer!How is it possible...there is a secret of eternal life, can someone really... live forever?

Su Heluo continued: "The secret room full of doors before us was the way they tried their best. Later, King Yan Zhao passed away suddenly, and Huang Feng knew that he didn't have much time. This trip might end in failure, but he was worried. Unwilling, I made arrangements early and ordered skilled craftsmen to carve three jade lezi in Tibetan cipher text, leaving the correct passage information. It seems that the three jade lezi fell into your hands!"

With Su Heluo's ingenuity, seeing this information, and then associating with the dialogue we analyzed the correct channel before, we have already guessed this point.

I smiled noncommittally and motioned for him to continue.

"Later, King Yanhui fell for Tian Dan's countermeasures and withdrew Le Yi's military power. Le Yi knew that there was no hope, so he sent a message to Huang Feng. Huang Feng saw the messenger at the foot of the mountain and reported the progress of the operation, but got A secret order was issued to silence all participants in this operation to avoid disclosure."

He was pleased to hear this "ah", and said, "This is too ruthless! Should these soldiers be allowed to commit suicide?"

"At that time, we paid attention to the principles of the ruler and his ministers. The ruler let his ministers die, and the ministers had to die!" I also sighed.Thinking that they were born and died for the king, but in the end they ended up like this, which is embarrassing.

"After Huang Feng received the order, he hoped that the messenger would report to Le Yi about Le Zi's affairs and the progress of the operation, so that the sacrifice of the deceased soldier would not be in vain. Then he summoned the soldiers stationed abroad, committed suicide in the dug hole, and hid Le Zi Inside the cave."

"This hole should be the hole behind the mural, right? No wonder there are so many dead people inside. Wait, isn't that right? If Huang Feng died too? Then who recorded these contents?" I wondered.

Su Heluo said: "Don't interrupt, I haven't finished yet. Huang Feng is not dead, he is not willing to die like this. He returned to the ruins after dealing with the soldiers stationed abroad. He thought he was dead , the only obsession is to continue to find the secret of eternal life. He and the soldiers in the ruins opened the tomb full of doors, came here after going through many obstacles, and discovered the secret of eternal life!"
