Chu Tian slid down with Zuo Qing.

After entering the entrance of the cave for more than ten meters, he couldn't help but admire Zuo Qing and Zuo Lan. The entrance of the cave was not big, just enough for one person to penetrate in a short body, but the entire cave seemed like a pouring funnel. The terrain was getting lower and lower, and the more he walked inside, it became wider, but not wet.

After walking for more than ten meters, he could straighten his back and walk, which made him amazed at the skill of digging the soil. Although he knew that digging a hole was not difficult, it was not easy to dig so beautifully. Zuo Lan and Zuo Qing dug out such a large seemingly natural project, which was simply a genius.

When you reach a turning point, you will have another floor at the entrance of the cave.

After jumping down at nearly two meters, Chu Tian felt the soles of his feet tremble and a slight pain, but a hint of joy arose in his heart. Four or five handsome men also jumped down one after another. When Zuo Qing jumped down, he seemed like a zombie, and his legs had never bent.

Everyone was so stuffy in the passage just now that they didn't know when it was. At this time, they jumped to an open place and felt relaxed. But they looked over with the light column of the flashlight in Zuo Lan's hand. There was a long corridor in front of them, and the light column did not reach the end!

Chu Tian looked around and found that he was in the middle of the corridor, with endless passages in front and behind. This made Chu Tian amazed again. He really imagined that Zuo Qing and the others could dig out such a passage to come here, as if he had known that there was a corridor here.

Then, Chu Tian saw Zuo Lan appear:

"Young Marshal, come here, this is the way forward!"

Zuo Qing also took a step forward and pointed to the corridor behind him: "I think it should be the entrance and exit of the tomb. We are wrong. If we know that this is a tomb, we will definitely try our best to find the entrance, which will definitely consume countless manpower and material resources, and there is still time!"

"yes!"

Zuo Lan held a flashlight and hung it on the wall, chuckled and added: "Fortunately, we thought it was just a cave room. We didn't think too much about it and opened it from above. As a result, we didn't encounter any cylinders and finally broke into this corridor. In other words, we are now breaking into the wall!"

Chu Tian didn't care about this. After looking around the gap, he took out a knife and marked it on the wall, and then spoke to Zuo Qing and the others: "Let's go ahead and see. I want to know which royal relative's tomb is buried in the capital!"

Zuo Qing nodded slightly and said to the side of his hand: "Please please, Young Marshal!"

Zuo Lan walked in front with a flashlight, Zuo Qing and Chu Tian walked side by side in the middle, and four or five generals followed behind, two of them carrying two boxes, which were Zuo Qing and Zuo Lan's tool boxes. Since ancient times, the tombs have been dangerous places, let alone such large-scale!

After walking out for dozens of meters, Zuo Lan stopped.

Chu Tian looked at the light of the flashlight, dash! There was a five-way intersection in front of him, five passages that could not see clearly. In such a ghost place, two paths were enough to make people feel numb. Now there are five more, which is obviously a bloody blow. In other words, the danger coefficient has increased greatly.

"Now in that direction?"

Zuo Lan asked slowly, with a daze in her eyes.

Chu Tian looked at her and smiled bitterly, "I should have asked you this question."

Zuo Lan's face turned red. The underground corridor shocked her too much, which made her temporarily lose her calmness and opinion. She carefully identified the signs at both ends of the corridor with a flashlight, knocked on the wall, and then raised her head: "I think we should go to the middle passage!"

"In this way, if you really make a mistake, you can also find out the movements on both sides!"

Chu Tian nodded slightly: "Okay, let's go forward."

He looked as usual, and seemed to have nothing to do with him.

Zuo Lan did not go forward immediately, but opened the tool box and took out a nail. After nailing it into the wall, he took out a bundle of water lines from it, tied it to the nail, and the rest of the water lines were wrapped around his hands. Seeing Chu Tian, ​​he suddenly explained: "I'm not afraid of not being able to come back!"

Chu Tian nodded in approval: "I think so thoughtful!"

After the deployment was completed, Zuo Lan walked forward again, while Zuo Qing leaned against Chu Tian as if she was protecting her. No one spoke along the way, so he only heard the monotonous footsteps of a few people, kicking and stomping. Zuo Lan observed the movements around him, but found that what he looked like was bluestone.

Under the strong light of the flashlight, a faint green light began to appear on the wall. Zuo Lan's heart slowly felt an unknown feeling. Before she could figure out what she thought, five forks came out in front of her. Zuo Lan was stunned and couldn't help but look back at Chu Tian and said:

"Young Marshal, which one should we go?"

Chu Tian did not answer, but was playing with a knife in his hand.

Zuo Qing thought for a while and sighed softly: "It's better to be the one in the middle."

Zuo Lan subconsciously looked back at Zuo Qing, and saw that her face looked gloomy and unstable in the shadows. She felt a little nervous, but she could only walk through the central road with her teeth. You know, they are all great disciples of Tang Dalong, and they have seen more tombs than buildings!

But this is the first time I have seen such a five-way corridor today.

After about ten minutes of travel, Zuo Lan had not yet reached the end, and was even more shocked. Although they walked carefully, they were not slow at all. If it were three seconds to one meter, they would have to walk at least two hundred meters in ten minutes. In addition to the previous journey, it was already five hundred meters.

How come this tomb chamber is so large?

Before he knew it, another monotonous five-way intersection appeared in front of him. Zuo Lan stopped asking Chu Tian and Zuo Qing. He looked carefully at the traces of each intersection and chose the intersection in the center. After walking for half an hour, seven people walked through countless five-way intersections.

Chu Tian's face became more and more serious, but he was still clear and clear.

Zuo Lan and Zuo Qing seemed a little irritable. Although they had been through many battles in tomb robbers, no one could stand the endless circle. The Shuai Jun brothers also felt a little restless, but they still had the wise and powerful Chu Tian to support their confidence, so they did not act excessively.

When he arrived at a five-way intersection again, Chu Tian suddenly stopped:

"Wait, how far have we walked?"

Zuo Lan glanced at the waterline in her hand and sighed softly: "About three thousand meters."

"Three thousand meters?"

Chu Tian said slowly, "It seems we have been moving forward?" Seeing everyone nodding, Chu Tian pondered: "We have been going east after we arrived at this corridor. There is a moat of more than ten meters to the east. If we really walked so far, we should have passed to the moat now!"

The moat is right next to Baiyun Villa, where the water from the lakes in the village comes from.

Zuo Qing didn't expect that Chu Tian was still so rational now, and he spoke in admiration:

"Sister-in-law, what's the problem we have now?"

Chu Tian raised his finger and said with a wry smile: "If I walked three kilometers, I have calculated the height of the corridor from the ground. We will never pass through the bottom of the moat, so logically speaking, we are either swimming in the moat or sticking it to the riverbi to hear the sound of water."

“But now…”

Chu Tian raised his finger and pointed at the endless corridor:

"Can there be a sound of water?"

Zuo Qing and Zuo Lan's faces were a little unnatural, and then they woke up. After walking for so long, they didn't reach the end. It wasn't that the corridor was too long, but that they were always going around in circles. Zuo Lan even thought about its principle in an instant: "This corridor seems to be straight forward, but in fact every step is skewed!"

Chu Tian nodded solemnly, then took a knife and tapped it in three different parts of the wall. The force used was the same every time, but each echo had a deviation. The first one was slightly crisp, the second one was a little thick, and the third one had no echo at all, which showed that its thickness was different.

After putting the knife back, Chu Tian sighed softly: "The wall thickness is different, and the direction naturally deviates. This shows that the designer uses the dimness of the corridor to confuse the intruders. In fact, this corridor is a concentric circle. No matter how we go, we will turn back to the five-way intersection!"

"The more perseverance, the more likely it is to be exhausted!"

Zuo Lan frowned and asked, "What should I do?"

Chu Tian showed the courage of the decision-maker. Once he figured out some things, he could find a solution in an instant. He pointed his finger and smiled faintly: "Five forks mean that there are five concentric circles. Walking along the corridor will never end, but one thing cannot be changed!"

"That is, the tomb chamber must be in the center of a concentric circle!"

Zuo Qing suddenly realized and slapped his head to take over the topic: "I understand!" Then he frowned: "But how can we get in? We have entered the corridor without even seeing the entrance and exit. Do we need to withdraw and dig again? This seems to be very difficult!"

Chu Tian shook his head gently, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "No need to be so troublesome. We broke into the wall just now. So we just need to find the corridor closest to the tomb and then find a way to open the wall to enter the target. Although the wall is thick..."

"But it's much easier than re-digging and finding the entrance!"

Zuo Qing and Zuo Lan nodded: "I understand!" Then they looked around and smiled bitterly: "Young Marshal, although you have a good idea, which passage depends on the tomb chamber? You can't knock every corridor open, right? You must know that the design of these tomb chambers is very strange and ingenious!"

"Breaking through a corridor, maybe it's okay!"

"But if all five are broken, it may cause the entire tomb to collapse."
