A knife in love

Chapter 1773

Thinking of this, Xiao Dong ignored Murong Danyan, turned his head and said to Li Qiufeng: "It seems that the dead people on the stone platform are all craftsmen who built this tomb. They know that after the tomb is completed, they will definitely be killed. To kill and kill the mouth, a secret passage was secretly dug out when the mausoleum was being built. Later, they were indeed trapped in this tomb passage, and these people escaped along the secret passage dug long ago. It’s just that people are not as good as heaven, and finally they climbed to the top of Gufeng Peak, but they were too far away from the big round hole, so they couldn’t escape, and finally died in the cave.”

Everyone heard what Xiao Dong said was reasonable, and they all nodded in agreement. Even Wang Xiaoyu couldn't refute it, so he had to remain silent.Li Qiufeng thought for a moment, then said to Xiao Dong: "It's no wonder that these people can dig such ingenious stone steps on the wall of the big cave in the isolated peak, and cut the big rough jade very neatly. Presumably, these people are from the Liao Kingdom. They are masters under the supervisor. Not only are they skilled in building tombs, but they also know the inside story of the royal tombs. They know that the day when the tombs are completed is the time for their death, so they made preparations to escape in advance. But they don’t know Why did they die on the stone platform in the end, can't they escape from the gate of the mausoleum?"

Xiao Dong shook his head, and said in his mouth: "Master Li is on duty in Jinyiwei. I don't know how powerful the traps set up during the construction of the imperial mausoleum are, but it's not surprising. Just like the tomb passage we are in now, it was built with If there is no hammer, chisel, and shovel in hand, it is absolutely impossible to chisel it. The reason why these craftsmen were able to chisel the secret passage of escape on the cave wall is that when they built the tomb passage, Not only do they have enough hammers and chisels in their hands, but also a large number of people can dig out such a secret passage. In addition, they must have a leader to preside over this matter. The officials suspect that the big man who was sealed in the big rough jade is these The leader of the artisans. Perhaps the big man died accidentally while escaping. The artisans sealed his body in jade to show respect. However, although these artisans are powerful, they can seal the inner door of the tomb. Both the middle door and the outer door that close the tomb passage are made of large stones that are as thick as ten feet. Once the stone gate closes the tomb passage, the back of the door will be blocked with natural stones. It cannot be opened. These craftsmen knew that trying to escape from the tomb through the outer door of the tomb passage was tantamount to a dream, so they secretly dug a secret passage during the construction of the tomb, and only waited for the construction of the tomb to be completed. escape."

When Xiao Dong said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "After the stone gate of the tomb passage is closed, the general guarding the mausoleum must have thought that the craftsmen who were sealed in the tomb passage must surely die. And no matter how courageous he is, he would not dare to open the outer door of the mausoleum." , Entered the mausoleum again to check. Therefore, when these craftsmen escaped, they had no fear at all. They escaped without even covering the secret passage hole left on the wall of the tomb passage. It is a pity that people are not as good as God. Going out of the secret passage, digging out the big rough jade, and digging thousands of stone steps on the wall of the big cave, the painstaking effort, energy and effort expended are really amazing, but in the end they couldn't escape, only It is a pity to die in despair."

Hearing this, Murong Danyan couldn't help asking: "According to what Brother Li and Lord Xiao said, these craftsmen are identified as the masters of the Liao Kingdom's generals. In this way, this tomb must be the emperor of the Liao Kingdom. I don’t read much, and I don’t know the situation of the Liao Kingdom. I just heard people tell the story of ancient times and the stories of the Yang family generals. The Kingdom of Jin was destroyed, and the emperor was captured. The Kingdom of Liao has only existed in the world for a few hundred years, and there are only a dozen emperors at most. Mr. Xiao is well-informed, and he can guess which emperor of the Liao Kingdom this tomb belongs to. Mausoleum?"

Xiao Dong was very polite when he heard Murong Danyan's words, and he respected himself very much, he was very proud of himself.However, although he has insight into the world and is tactful in dealing with things, he has not read a few books, otherwise he would not have made a joke about Sima Yi writing historical records.Therefore, it is undoubtedly difficult for him to guess which Liao emperor is buried in this mausoleum.Xiao Dong coughed twice, and said in his mouth: "Miss Murong, although Xiao knows a thing or two about the old affairs of the Liao Kingdom, he dare not speak rashly. To know the identity of the owner of the tomb, one must see the tombstone or the inscription. Otherwise, guessing wildly will lead to big trouble. The most important thing for us now is to find ways to escape, as for who the owner of the tomb is, it has nothing to do with us."

After Xiao Dong finished speaking, Li Qiufeng, Qi Jiu, and Murong Danyan were clear-eyed, knowing that he could never guess which Liao emperor was buried in this big tomb, and they didn't want to show timidity in front of everyone. Clever words and tricks to deal with Murong Danyan.However, what this person said was not bad. Everyone came here by mistake, not to steal the gold, silver and jewels in the tomb, so it doesn't matter who the owner of the tomb is.The important thing is to find a way to escape from here as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng said: "From Master Xiao's point of view, where should we look for a way out?"

Xiao Dongdao: "It's good to teach Master Li to know. Our eyes are dark, and we can't even tell the east, west, north, south, so we can't judge the direction of this tomb passage. Fortunately, the tomb passage is straight. Let's go to the right first. If If you see the big stone gate, but there is no natural stone, it is the middle gate. If you see the natural stone against the big stone gate, it is the outer gate. Let's find a way to open the outer gate, maybe we can escape."

When Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan were in the imperial mausoleum, they had seen the natural stone, so they naturally had no objection after hearing what Xiao Dong said.Qi Jiu and Wang Xiaoyu didn't know what the natural stone was, and they were puzzled.Qi Jiu is a calm person, seeing that Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan were silent, she forbears it too.Wang Xiaoyu didn't have so many scruples, but she didn't want to ask Xiao Dong, so she turned to Li Qiufeng and said, "Hero Li, what is a natural stone?"

Li Qiufeng was anxious at this moment, how could he have the time to explain it carefully to Wang Xiaoyu?So he raised the torch and said in his mouth: "This matter is a long story, and it can't be explained clearly in a few sentences. Let's search carefully on the right first, and if we see the natural stone, Li will explain it to Miss Wang in detail. If there is something wrong, I ask Master Xiao to advise."

Xiao Dong hastily bowed and said: "Your Majesty Li, you are too polite, I dare not."

The five people packed up and walked to the right with the torches in hand.I don't know how many years have passed since this tomb passage was built, it stands to reason that it should have been dilapidated and full of dust.It's just that the entire tomb passage is made of large stones, and there are stone gates at both ends, so there is no dust on the ground.It's just that no matter where you look, there is a gray area in front of you, which seems to have no end.The tomb passage is extremely quiet, only the "empty" sound from the footsteps of the people walking, which is heard by everyone, which really makes people feel palpitating.
