The myth revives, I can enter the apocalypse

Chapter 148 The Importance of Scholars

Zong Wu's words made everyone feel horrified. Can darkness kill people?
Facing everyone's puzzled looks, Zong Wu chuckled and said: "The tomb is no better than the wild. If there is no light, it will be in darkness all year round, and the passages are narrow and cramped. Staying here for a long time will cause great psychological pressure. "

"Some students may think that they are warriors, how can they be afraid of the dark? Ordinary darkness is indeed not scary, but the deeper you go into the tomb, the heavier the 'yin energy' will be. If there is a lack of 'flame', you will unknowingly Corrupted by darkness.”

"You may not have a clue when I say this, but when you enter the underground more than ten kilometers deep, you may be able to understand that the Tomb of King Ming is quite good. After so many years of development, most of the Yin Qi has dissipated, and some newly emerged The tomb must even light up the 'spiritual fire', otherwise even an innate warrior will be instantly eroded by the Yin Qi and lose his mind!"

Zong Wu's words made Chen Jin secretly frightened. He thought to himself that it is no wonder that the scholar profession is indispensable. Entering the spiritual realm has so many particularities. Without the scholar profession, he would accidentally touch certain taboos. He would not know how to die even if he died. of!

Chen Jin heard that at the beginning of the recovery of spiritual energy, historians had not systematically organized the "spiritual traces". At that time, exploring the spiritual realm was a real escape from death. Today, these experiences are all those martyrs who used them one by one. It came out through fate test.

"In addition to dispelling the Yin Qi, the flames can also provide light, which is of great help to you in identifying directions, ruins, and discovering traps," Zong Wu added.

After entering the innate realm, spiritual energy enters the brain, and the warrior's perception ability will be greatly enhanced. His vision is like a combination of a cat and an eagle. Not only can he see extremely far, but he can also see things in the dark.

However, even if night vision ability is greatly improved, light is still needed.

And in the tomb, the twists and turns, and the passages that are often several kilometers swallow up almost all the light, and no matter how strong the night vision is, it is useless.

Think about how terrifying it would be to be lost alone in an ancient tomb the size of a modern city.

"So, the most important thing about our ancient tomb exploration is that we need to calculate and plan the 'support materials'."

"Ancient tombs are no different from the wild. Food, fire, light, exploration supplies, etc. all need to be prepared in advance. There are many expedition teams who have been lost in ancient tombs over the years and eventually starved to death!"

"When you take the joint examination of the four schools, there will be sixteen fixed camps in the examination area. There can be supplementary supplies in the camps, but these camps are far away from the location of the 'secret treasure'. There will be many forks and traps on the road. How to plan Routes and load distribution, there’s a lot of knowledge involved!”

As Zong Wu explained, Xia Duoduo listened very carefully and kept recording on her mobile phone.

In this way, everyone's field training officially began. In the following time, Zong Wu led everyone deep into the ancient tomb to get used to the darkness and cold. As he said, when it reaches a certain depth, the Yin Qi becomes like Like countless small insects, they burrow through the skin and into the bones. If there is no flame, no matter how thick the clothes are, they cannot withstand it.

It was okay for Chen Jin to have strong energy and blood, but some classmates who had not broken the barrier could not bear it. They shivered with cold and their teeth chattered when they were slightly farther away from the torch. Seeing this, Zong Wu did not continue to embarrass them, but just let everyone realize After the danger of Yin Qi, a few more torches were lit.

After going 3000 meters underground, even Chen Jin felt the cold.

"It is said that the deepest point of the Ming Dynasty Tomb can reach 7000 meters, which is deeper than the Mariana Trench in the previous life! The newly excavated Warring States Tomb in the central plain has a depth of [-] meters! If this is placed before the spiritual energy is revived, It’s almost close to the mantle!”

The more Chen Jin thought about it, the more incredible it became. The area of ​​a modern city, plus the depth of more than ten kilometers, was such a huge area. It was hard for him to imagine how the ancients could complete such magnificent buildings.

How difficult it was for the martyrs who opened the tomb in the first place.

On the third day of the field training, after everyone basically mastered some common sense about survival in the tomb, Zong Wu began to lead them to search for "secret treasures."

"As I said before, many secret treasures will be artificially placed in the joint examination of the four schools."

"But there will be hints about what the treasure is, where it is hidden, and how to obtain it. But whether you can see it or not depends entirely on the accumulation of reading."

As he spoke, Zong Wu suddenly stopped, and the erratic firelight barely illuminated the area in front of him, where a three-meter-high "city gate" stood. There were three passages under the gate, leading to different areas.

Zong Wu turned around and smiled: "Do you still remember the way you came here?"

Everyone looked at each other, but Chen Jin could barely remember how many forked roads he passed and which direction he chose based on his memory. However, these roads were not straight and had twists and turns. At this time, he was also confused about where he was.

Others were in a similar state. Zong Wu smiled and said: "In the complicated tombs, even experienced explorers will get lost, so they must always leave marks, but the less noticeable the marks, the better, otherwise they will be Someone else tracked your location."

Zong Wu did not continue this topic, but raised the torch to the city gate and asked: "Have you seen this huge city gate in front of you? We generally call it a 'level'. There are three roads in it, usually only One will lead to the 'tomb' site, which one do you think we should choose?"

Chen Jin looked carefully and saw that there was almost no difference between the three roads in front of him.

Everyone looked at the "scholar" profession in the team.

The scholar in Lu Xingchen's team pondered for a moment, then said: "It is impossible to judge by looking at it with the naked eye. Special means are needed for in-depth exploration, such as using geological prospecting instruments, sonic radar, etc., or directly using drones to go deep. After all, it’s impossible for the owner of the tomb to leave thoughtful hints for future tomb robbers.”

The scholars in Li Junjie's team shook their heads and said: "No, the Tomb of King Ming is different from other tombs. Only the main tomb where King Ming is buried is completely sealed, leaving no passages. The other tombs are more or less left intact." There are hints that this is to open the tomb to retrieve the treasure in case the family falls into decline in the future and the descendants of the clan are really desperate."

"Although these hints are usually very obscure and will only be passed down from generation to generation by the family heads, after extensive research by historians, some rules can still be summarized."

"Look, are there two small, one large and three 'blue birds' carved on the top of this 'level'? Although their body postures are different, their eyes are all pointing to the passage on the far right. This is the passage left by the owner of the tomb. hint."

As the man finished speaking, there were bursts of exclamations from all around, which made him very proud.

This was also the first time that Chen Jin heard about the idea of ​​letting future generations open tombs to retrieve treasures. But if you think about it carefully, it is right. Anyway, the owner of the tomb only needs to ensure that the main tomb he is in is not dug up. What are the maids who are buried with him to protect him? Yes, how could these big shots care.

But being able to see this requires a very solid foundation of knowledge. The scholars in Lu Xingchen's team did not see it, and their expressions were quite ugly at this time.

But in fact, we can't say that he is wrong. Judging the authenticity of a passage based on the direction of the blue bird's eyes is a very unreliable guessing method. It is impossible to use such a reckless method during actual exploration.

Zong Wu nodded appreciatively: "Yes, does anyone else have a different opinion?"

At this time, everyone looked at Wei Tian. She was the only scholar who had not yet spoken.

Being stared at by so many people, Wei Tian seemed a little nervous, but she still composed herself and said, "I think these three paths are all traps!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

But Zong Wu's eyes lit up: "Oh? How do you say it?" Wei Tian whispered: "The tombs in the Qin and Han Dynasties have their basic characteristics. The 'level' here is only three meters high, and the auspicious animal carved is just a 'blue bird' , it can be inferred that the owner of the tomb is not of high status and is most likely a maid who was buried with him."

"It's normal for these servants' tombs to be used as traps for tomb robbers. Even if there are reminders, they won't be so obvious."

Zong Wu was noncommittal, but his face clearly showed admiration: "So, the best choice is to abandon this tomb?"

"Not necessarily," Wei Tian shook his head and said, "In the Middle Ages, tombs were not just a place where corpses were buried, but were sometimes considered to be an alternative 'Tao'. Many nobles and practitioners from the royal family sent them to I hope to accumulate energy through the tomb and continue to survive in a new life form."

"What's more, there are rumors that powerful emperors can be resurrected in future generations through this method."

"The owner of King Ming's tomb falls into this category, so even the location of the maid's tomb must be determined strictly according to the Feng Shui formation, and the spiritual objects used to 'fix Feng Shui' will be stored in it."

As Wei Tian spoke, he took out a compass-like instrument and looked at it. He made gestures in the air with his two small hands, as if calculating something, and finally pointed in a direction.

"Well, according to my judgment, if you dig a hole in this direction, you can reach the tomb directly."

Halfway through, he waved his hands hurriedly: "I don't know much about this, so this calculation is definitely inaccurate."

Zong Wu looked at Wei Tian intently, as if he had seen some rare and exotic beast. He suddenly laughed and rushed towards the position Wei Tian had pointed at. His right fist suddenly shot out, and there was a loud "bang" sound. A stone wall next to the "level" was directly smashed by Zong Wu!A one-meter-high dark passage hidden behind was revealed.

Under the shocked eyes of everyone, Zong Wu praised: "Your judgment is correct. The explorers who came here arrived at the tomb through the method you mentioned and took away the secret treasure. No, this is the passage they dug. "

As he spoke, he sighed: "I have been in charge of teaching spiritual realm knowledge in your school for seven or eight years. There are many people who can see that the three roads are traps, but you are the first one who can also calculate the location of the tomb. Little girl, you What is your name?"

Wei Tian was embarrassed by the praise, lowered her head and whispered: "Wei Tian."

Zong Wu nodded and said: "Okay, I remember."

Then he turned to the others and said: "Listen carefully, the classmate at the beginning was right. It is impossible for the owner of the tomb to leave thoughtful hints for future tomb robbers. Reality is not a game. There is no way to directly clear the level. route! Most of the time, we have to dig out a road ourselves!"

"During the joint examination of your four schools, you will have to dig your own way for higher-level secret treasures! There is no way there is a ready-made path for you to obtain them so easily!"

"Of course, you don't just have to dig a hole casually. If you accidentally destroy the feng shui of the tomb, you won't know how you died!"

Then, Zong Wu began to explain how to judge the location of the tomb and what to pay attention to when digging a hole, such as how to judge whether a trap has been dug, when to take a detour, where to take a detour, etc. Chen Jin felt dizzy.

The knowledge is so complex that it is like geography, history, metaphysics, and mechanics are all combined. The Feng Shui formations of each dynasty and each generation have different characteristics, and the traps also have different preferences. When combined with each other, they form an extremely A huge body of knowledge.

This made Chen Jin finally fully understand the importance of the profession of "scholar".

Without a scholar, even if his strength were doubled, if he were thrown into the tomb, he would probably wander around like a headless fly, stepping on the fatal trap left by his predecessors before he knew it.

Chen Jin felt that he might have been too obsessed with martial arts and had overlooked the importance of this knowledge.

Thinking of this, he looked at Xia Duoduo with emotion and said solemnly: "We must protect Wei Tian!"

Xia Duoduo rolled her eyes at him: "Who do you think the spiritual weapon armor in my giant hunting reward is for? And Qian Shuang, she is the bodyguard responsible for Wei Tian's safety."

Chen Jin felt relieved when he heard that Xia Duoduo had already made arrangements. He also felt that there were specialties in the art industry and it was impossible for one person to master all the knowledge, so he could just be a "thug" with peace of mind.

Next, Chen Jin began to seriously learn the techniques in the tomb from Zong Wu. Even if he could not judge the location of the treasure based on Feng Shui, he still learned some techniques to avoid traps.

And Zongwu didn't hide his secrets, and even later taught them a lot of underhanded tricks for the joint entrance examination of the four schools.

"Did you see that thin line? This is the most basic trigger trap. Of course we can simply avoid it, but we can also slightly modify it."

"Okay, now this thin wire is just a disguise. I have replaced the trigger method with this stone brick. As long as someone steps on it, the trap will activate."

"Have you seen this flame formation? We can modify its texture and turn it into an explosion formation that detonates in advance."

These are all moves that harm others without benefiting oneself, and are very difficult to operate. The two scholars in the team, Lu Xingchen and Li Junjie, were so dizzy after learning them. In addition to understanding history and formations, these techniques also require extremely strong strength. The science and engineering knowledge and hands-on ability are simply not something that ordinary high school students can accomplish.

Even the two of them were like this, and the others were even more confused.

Only Wei Tian was able to better understand Zong Wu's ideas, which made the strong man teach even more energetically, making the teaching traps more and more complicated. In the end, it basically turned into one-on-one private teaching.

This reminded Chen Jin that before entering the martial arts class, Wei Tian's science scores were better than those of liberal arts, and she was always among the top ten in her grade in mathematics and physics.

This made Chen Jin not sure whether this guy relied on talent or hard work.

"We must protect Wei Tian."

After seeing Wei Tian successfully complete the transformation of a complex trap, Chen Jin sighed to Xia Duoduo for the fourth time.

At most, ordinary scholars can only ensure that everyone avoids dangerous areas and approaches the areas where secret treasures are hidden, but high-level scholars can modify traps and even manipulate the formations that already exist in the tombs to fight against the enemy!

Xia Duoduo couldn't help but chuckle, with an expression on her face as if she had found a treasure. Before entering the tomb, she did not expect Wei Tian to be so "all-powerful". The depth of this knowledge reserve was simply unmatched by others. Not on the same level.

His professional ability is definitely much higher than that of ordinary scholars, but I don't know how it compares to the scholars specially trained by the An family for Anliang and the top scholars in Guangfu and Pengcheng.

In this way, everyone continued to learn while heading deeper into the tomb. On the fifth day, they finally successfully found a "secret treasure".
