I fell from the big wooden beam and was hung by the rope in the air like those empty clothes, hanging on my head and feet.
Just when I thought that the mercury mechanism in the apse might be trying to preserve some secret, I felt my waist tighten.
Shiry Yang and the fat man were pulling the rope, slowly pulling me back to the wooden beam.
My brain was running fast, and I saw more and more mercury in the temple, and it had already covered the belly of the six-legged bronze tripod.
In just a few moments, it would completely cover the painted walls and stone tablets.
The place that triggers the mercury mechanism when touched should be where the "secret" is hidden, and it must be somewhere among the murals, stone tablets and black copper tripods.
Where exactly is it?
Probably because the body was turned upside down and the blood flowed backwards, the scene in the temple looked different from the front.
At this moment, my mind was extremely clear.
When I raised my head, I saw the ground in the temple.
From mid-air, the most prominent thing in the temple was that Several mural walls are arranged in the shape of the Eight Trigrams and Nine Palaces.
One of the walls was particularly prominent.
A grumpy man was crushed against the wall by the cauldron cover.
His flesh and blood were blurred, and the white-painted wall was splashed with ink as if it had been spilled.
The whole wall was covered with dark green blood and minced meat.
Coupled with the weight of the tripod cover, a gap was broken in the wall, and several cracks extended around it.
There are many murals on the eight brick walls, but only one is full of all kinds of weird witchcraft rituals in the Dian Kingdom.
It is the side that was broken by the tripod lid.
Once this wall was broken, the short corridor in the palace was immediately sealed.
A large amount of mercury poured out from the dragon's mouth.
All this shows that there are important things hidden in the wall.
Once violated by external forces, the secrets in the palace will be triggered.
Those who cannot escape will be swallowed by mercury, turn black and die.
If the intruder is agile, he can escape from the top of the palace. , in that moment, mercury can also fill the back hall, and outsiders will never find anything hidden in the wall.
The reason why we didn’t build that kind of extermination mechanism may be because we have to take out this thing in the future, but why didn’t King Xian take it into the underground Xuan Palace when he was buried, but hid it on the top of the Ming Tower?
The top priority is to take out the contents before the mercury reaches the cracks in the painted wall.
I didn’t think much about it, but at that moment, based on Captain Jin’s intuition, I thought there was something hidden in the wall.
The so-called "intuition" is nothing more than a number of memory fragments in the brain and information received by the five senses, which are combined together, skipping the logical level, and directly reflected into thinking.
Its accuracy depends on a person's experience, common sense and judgment ability. .
At this time, I didn't care about hanging in the air and immediately shouted: "It's in this wall."
I shouted suddenly, startling the fat man and Shiry Yang who were pulling the rope on the wooden beam.
Puzzled, they all asked: "What's in the wall?"
I noticed that the mercury gas in this palace was getting thicker and I could no longer stay any longer.
I had no time to elaborate at this time, so I asked them not to drag me up yet.
I will descend to the cracked mural wall to see if there is still a chance to take out the contents.
At the same time, I will let the fat man use a lighter to burn the haunted witch clothes, and specially emphasize to him that no matter how weird the clothes are, they will not be removed.
Ignore it and just light the fire.
At the same time, let Shiry Yang seize the time to climb to the highest point first and blast the palace tiles.
Although Shiry Yang and Fatty didn't know what I wanted to do, we had formed a tacit understanding after being together for a long time.
They both understood that I must have my own reasons.
It was not too late to talk about it after we got out, so the two of them separated from the big wooden beam.
The fat man took advantage of the darkness in the palace and couldn't see how high he was, but he was still able to move.
I saw him having the courage to climb from the wooden beam to the shaman's robe hanging in the corner of the hall, and tremblingly take out the lighter.
With such a reckless and vicious person, even ghosts and gods were afraid of him, so I didn't Go see him again, pull the pulley around your waist, step on a nearby stone tablet, and swing your body towards the mural wall.
When we reached the lowest point, our hiking helmet even touched the mercury on the ground.

As soon as we reached the mural wall with both hands, we quickly climbed up half a meter.
The development of the technology of heating mercury sulfide during the Qin and Han Dynasties was due to the unremitting efforts of Emperor Qin and Han Wu in refining elixirs for immortality.
As expected, half of the jade letter was exposed where the frescoed wall was cracked by the tripod cover.
There were several turns of gold rope wrapped around the letter, and the rising mercury was about to cover the cracks in the wall.
In my hurry, I didn't have time to take a closer look, so I turned my upside-down body over first, endured the choking smell of mercury, and immediately started to use the mountain climbing method.
I was already familiar with this kind of wall demolition work when I was still an engineer.
The mural walls are all made of grass and mud bricks, so they are not solid.
The jade letter hidden in the wall is not small, and a large piece of grass and earth bricks needs to be chipped out to take it out.
While I was busy chipping away at the wall, I suddenly heard a roar above my head, a lot of bricks fell down, and a dazzling ray of sunlight shot into the gloomy palace.
I looked up at the top of the hall, and it turned out that Shiry Yang had opened a skylight on the top of the hall.
The glazed roof of this Tiangong is not thick, and no explosives were used.
A large hole was directly made with an engineering shovel and a mountaineering pick.
The sun slanted into the hall, hitting the witch clothes in the corner, and the fat man just lit a fire.
The red witch clothes, which looked like they were stained with blood, burned and fell down, turning into a ball of ashes, and were instantly covered by mercury.
Seeing that both of them had succeeded, I immediately worked hard and chipped away the last two mud bricks that were in the way.
I reached out and took out the jade letter hidden in the wall.
I weighed the weight and found that it wasn't very heavy.
I didn't have time to guess now.
To find out what was inside, he put the jade letter under his arm and turned the pulley to rise up the main beam.
Several animal heads in the hall were still spraying out mercury, reaching the height of the hole in the mural wall.
If they had been slower for half a minute, they would never have had the chance to obtain this jade letter.
As soon as I got on the main beam, I immediately met the fat man.
We hurriedly climbed up to the wooden rafters and climbed out of this dangerous palace through the skylight.
The sun is already slanting outside.
Due to the special topography, the depths of the Bug Valley are exposed to sunlight for a very short time every day.
When the sun deflects, it will be covered by the mountains, and the valley will gradually fall into darkness.
Standing on the large slippery glazed tiles, I saw that the dragon's halo under the Heavenly Palace had changed from the colorful colors when the sun was shining brightly to a dim golden light.
The funnel-shaped pool in the depths was so dark that the water surface could not be seen clearly.
The black vortex at the bottom of the pool merged into one.
Looking back on the scenes in the Heavenly Palace just now, the thing that puzzles me the most is still the bronze beasts and bronze figures.
As for the weird clothes hanging all over the hall, the ice-like woman's shrill smile, the large amount of mercury pouring out, and the jade letter hidden in the mural wall, I don't care about it at all.
All I can think about is the action and costumes.
There must be something unusual about the unusual bronze statue.
I haven't remembered it yet, but the more I think about it, the less I can grasp the clue.
At this time, Shiry Yang pushed me gently, and I came back to my senses from my hard thinking.
I calmed down, took out the jade letter I took out from the painting wall, showed it to Fatty and Shiry Yang, and put it in the hand.
The situation at that time was briefly described.
There are several turns of gold rope wrapped around the jade letter.
The jade is simple in color and has a few bright red spots.
At first glance, it looks like an ancient relic from thousands of years ago.
However, this jade letter is flat and rectangular, so it doesn't look like it is used to store phoenix gall bladders.
Hidden so secretly in the back hall of the Heavenly Palace, the things inside must be of great importance.
I immediately wanted to open it and take a look, but the jade letter was tightly closed.
Without special tools, if I wanted to open it, I would have to destroy the ancient jade outside. .
Shiry Yang said: "The ancient jade is small, but the items inside are big.

We should wait until we go back to take a closer look.
Time is running out now, so we don't waste time to take a closer look."
I nodded in agreement and asked the fat man to wrap up the jade letter and put it into his backpack first.
I asked the fat man: "Did you feel anything weird when you burned that red dress?"
After the fat man packed the jade letter, he put the big rucksack next to him and complained to me: "You still have the nerve to ask, that dress is so damn evil.
If you were the fat man, I would be a little less courageous.
At this moment You have to collect the corpse for me.
Next time there is such a fatal errand, it would be better for you, Commander Hu, to do it yourself.
Even the blind fortune teller said you are lucky. " Seeing that it was getting dark, our next step was to immediately go down to the bottom of the pond to find out the location of the tomb passage.
So while I was busy packing equipment with Shiry Yang, I asked the fat man: "Didn't the blind man also tell you about you?"
It was Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian who was reincarnated during the Three Kingdoms period.
He had the courage to be unstoppable.
What can scare you?
Please tell me carefully what the half-part of the female body in the clothes looks like."
The fat man was on the top of the highest Tiangong, looking at the dark valley below.
He found that the tiles under his feet were extremely slippery, and he felt timid.
When he heard my question, he casually replied: "What's weird, it's just a fucking thing."
There was a piece of human skin stretched over the head, and there was a wig, which was a hood.
I blocked my ears, so I couldn't hear the ghost's laughter, so I just grabbed the human skin hood and set it on fire as you said.
The clothes were burned to pieces.”
I wondered: "Where does that fierce ghost's shrill laughter come from?
Could it be that there is a ghost attached to that witch robe?"
The fat man chewed his back molars and whispered to me: "Look, you are not close.
The human leather hood has a white background and red lips, which is not much different from the face of a dead person.
Now that I think about it, I still feel the muscles in my calves trembling. , if there are any ghosts again, how can there be life at this time?
I am here to tell you about the ghost laughter.
I think it is probably caused by a few holes in the human skin hood, which was blown by the small wind on the top of the hall.
The hall is full of big nanmu trees that can make deep dragon sounds, so we probably It’s just a lackey, so you don’t have to worry about anything.”
After listening to the story and reasons told by the fat man, I was noncommittal for a moment and fell into silence.
I thought to myself: "This fat man is always confused and dishonest, and his words are also unclear, even though I watched him burn the witch clothes." , but you can't rest assured.
The sharp smile of the devil can make people's hair grow a layer of frost. , there are also strange rumors in the Xinjiang Devil City, but they are definitely not as powerful.
I assure Chairman Mao that the clothes and human skin hoods are not that simple.
Now that we are in a dangerous place, we need to be cautious in everything.
It is better to try him again.
Only by giving it a try can you feel at ease, and don’t let your carelessness lead to regrets.”
I was worried that the fat man was possessed by evil spirits, so I was going to try something to ward off evil spirits on him.
At this time, the sun was setting in the west and was about to fall behind the mountains in the west.
It was only at this moment that I could take action.
I turned the plan over in my mind three times, then put down the equipment I was inspecting, stood up from the glass roof of the Tiangong, pretended to stretch, flexed my muscles, and walked around behind the fat man.
Unexpectedly, this seemed a bit artificial.
The fat man didn't realize that he was munching chocolate to satisfy his hunger.
On the contrary, it made Shiry Yang think that something was wrong with me.
She immediately asked me: "Lao Hu, why are you so crazy?
It's neither sooner nor later.
Why are you stretching your lazy muscles?

Glazed tiles are slippery, so be careful."
I winked at Shirey and Yang Lian, telling her not to speak.
I thought to myself: "You are usually very clever, but why are you so clueless today?
After a while, you will probably see that I, Mr.
Hu, am so good at predicting things."
I am so impressed by you."
Although Shiry Yang didn't understand why I winked at her, she saw the opportunity very quickly and immediately stopped talking.
She lowered her head and continued to replace the battery of the wolf-eye flashlight.
But the fat man stuffed his mouth full of chocolate and beef jerky, turned his head to look at me, and asked in a low voice: "Commander Hu, did you twist your waist when you fell from the wooden beam?
Do you want me to tell you that we all did the same?"
Now that you are in your thirties, you have to take your time in everything.
Go back and ask the blind man to give you a massage.
Hey, don’t tell me that the blind man is really good at this.
I was so fucked up last time. " I quickly said to the fat man: "Are you very old when you are thirty?
Don't forget that revolutionaries are always young.
Besides, I am not ducking down at all, but I am at the top of the Heavenly Palace, condescendingly viewing the beauty of the motherland.
The great rivers and mountains are full of passion in my heart, so I stood up specially and wanted to write a poem as a souvenir. " The fat man laughed loudly and spat out all the food in his mouth: "Commander Hu, please don't mess with us.
You are the only one who knows those two words and can still recite poems.
Take a rest and stay alert."
We’ll have to go down to Xuan Palace to touch the bright artifact later.”
Seeing that the fat man looked normal, I felt a little more at ease.
However, since he had already stood up, I still acted according to the pre-planned plan.
Having an extra layer of insurance was ultimately beneficial.
So while talking nonsense, he stepped on the glazed tiles and walked around behind the fat man: "Commander Wang, don't look at new problems with the old eyes.
Many great poets in ancient times were also illiterate and idle people.
Didn't they still leave behind eternal good verses?
I admit that when I was a child, I was I don’t love studying as much as you do, because at that time I was only busy responding to calls and caring about national affairs every day, but my love for the great rivers and mountains of my motherland is not inferior to yours at all, I” As I spoke, I walked around behind the fat man, still talking, but already taking a large handful of glutinous rice from my carrying bag.
These glutinous rice were bought last year.
They have been stored for a long time and the beige color is a bit stale.
However, glutinous rice can remove yin and expired glutinous rice can still be used.
I immediately took a big handful of glutinous rice and scattered it from behind the fat man like a goddess scattering flowers.
The fat man was sitting and talking to me.
Suddenly, a large amount of glutinous rice was poured from behind.
He was startled.
He turned around and asked me: "You have eaten too much and are full, aren't you talking about reciting poems?
Why are you throwing rice and trying to catch birds?"
So what’s the air quality like in the Ancient Cemetery Palace?”
Shiry Yang was also looking at me with strange eyes.
Seeing that Nuomi didn't hit any evil spirits from Fatty, I had to explain: "I originally thought of a few high-sounding words, which are also eternal quatrains, but suddenly Remembering that Xiaopang had just touched that man's leather helmet, he tried to drive away bad luck for him.
However, according to the ancient rules, You can't say hello in advance, it has to work without you knowing it.
If you remove this old bad luck, you will definitely be promoted and make a fortune in the future.
You see, I will do my best for your future.
A few quatrains that will last forever have been forgotten, and now I can’t remember them anymore.
I have no inspiration.”
I made up some random reasons to temporarily put aside Fatty and Shiry Yang's questions.

I didn't know if they would accept it.
Just as I continued to justify myself, Shiry Yang suddenly pointed to the sky and said to us: "Look at the clouds in the sky, how strange they are."
The fat man looked up and marveled: "Commander Hu, could it be that the Dragon King has spread his wings?"
I saw a long, thick black cloud stretching out from the still bright sky beside the mountain, like a black dragon hanging in the sky, and it seemed like a black Milky Way hanging in the sky, gradually sinking into the mountains.
The dark sky merged into one, immediately casting a shadow over the Heavenly Palace and Water Dragon in the valley.
Usually in places with fresh outdoor air or high mountains with thin air, if there are few clouds in the sky, you can see the bright Milky Way at night.
However, compared with the Milky Way in the starry sky, the "black river" hanging over our heads at this moment looks very ominous and gloomy.
The mausoleum area in the valley is already quiet, and now it is even darker and quieter, as if we are already in a gloomy and dark underground palace.
I said to Shiry Yang and Fatty: "This kind of celestial phenomenon has been recorded in ancient Feng Shui.
The black air between the sky and the Han Dynasty is connected.
This celestial sign is called the black pig crossing the Tianhe River; in the secret art of the stars, it is called the rainy weather; and Qingzhu Earth Qi Theory says that when the black pig crosses the river, there will be an ancient corpse causing trouble, so the corpse Qi will change from yin to yang, covering the stars and the moon."
The fat man didn't understand what he meant and asked me: "So it's not a good sign.
Is it the rain or the corpse energy?
Then what is the rain that blocks our way to make money?"
I said to the fat man: "Rainy weather refers to sudden surges of floods.
We rushed forward and then made mistakes.
We are going to destroy the tomb of King Xian tonight, and we encountered this rare celestial phenomenon that has not happened in a century.
I wonder if this is related to King Xian changing the pattern of the earth's veins. . maybe here In recent years, this kind of phenomenon has often occurred.
This heavy rain will not come out, and sooner or later it will cause a big change.
Maybe not long after, this insect valley palace will be swallowed up by a huge flash flood.
It’s not too late, get down to the pool now.”
While he was talking, the sky had turned into a black pot, and he couldn't even see his fingers.
The three people quickly turned on the spotlights on the mountaineering helmets, and then there was some light.
They arranged the equipment and equipment, put the weapons and explosives that were afraid of water in their backpacks, and lowered the ropes from the side of the temple.
The stone slabs on the plank road spiral down along the way.
The road was extremely dark, so I had to walk step by step.
When I encountered a broken path, I had to climb vines downwards.
The three beams of light seemed insignificant in this endless darkness.
I could barely see my feet clearly, even five or six meters away.
The contours of the terrain are difficult to discern.
We groped in the dark and finally reached the end of the plank road at the bottom of the valley, but I estimated that it was just around five o'clock in the afternoon, and the circular sky on the funnel had already melted into the darkness together with the rest of the scenery.
The black pig crossed the river very quickly.
It suddenly occurred to me that today is July 19th.
This is something serious
