At this moment, between Cao De and the person a hundred meters away, a stone gate suddenly appeared above and slowly fell down.

At the same time, a large crossbow bolt more than a meter long suddenly shot out in front of him, and all this happened in a short moment.

But for these people who have been walking under the tomb for many years, there is still time to react, but the person who is alone in front of him wants to meet Cao De and others when the stone gate falls, which is a little difficult.

If you don't have them, you can try them, but it's impossible to rush through them as fast as you can.

Just when he was faced with a difficult decision, the man chose to lie down to avoid the crossbow arrows, and gave up joining Cao De and the others who were outside.

"Bang!"

The stone gate fell, and the stone slab of the tomb shook slightly, completely blocking the way, stirring up a layer of dust, making Cao De and the others instinctively cover their mouths and noses.

It was not half an hour before he came in, and this happened, and Cao De and the others looked ugly.

After waiting for a while, to make sure that there was only a trace of dust and no other danger, Cao De ordered the two to step forward and check the stone gate.

The two of them were ordered, and after careful observation to confirm that there was no danger, they began to try to open the stone door.

But this stone door weighs thousands of pounds, and it can't be opened by brute force, unless you can find a mechanism to open the stone door.

Just as the two were about to pass the news to Cao De, suddenly there was a slight knocking sound on the side of the stone gate.

This beating sound is unique to them, just to avoid being trapped in one place, unable to call their companions, and used to communicate.

Listening carefully, knowing which side of the person was trapped, there was no danger for the time being, the two of them were relieved, and one of them knocked rhythmically on the stone door, signaling to the person behind the door, looking for the door opening mechanism together.

After all the exchanges were completed, one person quickly reported the situation to Cao De.

Cao De learned that the person was fine, and he didn't want to think about it, so he asked people to start a careful search to find the mechanism.

Everyone looked around the wall carefully, and suddenly one person noticed something strange about the wall, and immediately picked up a tool brush and gently swept away the heavy dust and stone spots on it.

This so-called brush is made from animal hair, and it was made by them when they robbed tombs.

As the dust and stone spots fell, a carved stone painting slowly emerged in front of you. "General, this has been discovered, come and take a look."

Hearing the sound, Cao De, who was observing the wall, hurriedly ran over.

On the wall, there was a majestic general, riding a tall horse, escorting a civil official and following the people, as if he was going somewhere.

Cao De took a closer look, already understood in his heart, took out a brush and ordered everyone to clean it up together.

With the efforts of everyone, the walls on both sides have been cleaned up, and the stone paintings are also visible to everyone.

Roughly speaking, it means that a general got an order, led elite soldiers to escort civilian officials, and went to one place to complete some task.

According to history and folk records, Cao De has guessed something in his heart, which may be that Qin Shi Huang sent someone to ask for medicine.

But this stone painting is not fully displayed, because it is unknown which side of the stone gate is the follow-up, and whether the result is really seeking medicine.

Looking at the painting, Cao De said: "Everyone sit down and drink saliva, rest for a while, and then look for the mechanism." ”

After Cao De finished speaking, he sat on the ground, took out a water bag, took a sip, put it back on his waist and said, "Tell me, is this elixir true or false?" ”

One person smiled and said: "General, how can this be true, otherwise how could Qin Shi Huang return to heaven." ”

"Yes, this is impossible, the painting is just a record of the life of the person in this tomb."

……

Listening to these answers, Cao De suddenly had a hint of inspiration in his heart, could this be the tomb of the general guarding the tomb.

And this escort has asked for medicine, it is rumored that there is only one person in the Meng family, is it him, if it is really him, then it should not be far from the real tomb of Qin Shi Huang, no wonder it didn't take long to go, there was an organ.

Cao De glanced at everyone and saw that none of them thought of this, so he said: "After resting, find the switch as soon as possible, this place is full of dangers, it is better to complete the task as soon as possible and go out." ”

Before the matter was clear, Cao De decided not to say it yet, and rested for a while, and the group began to observe the wall, looking for mechanisms.

After looking at it for a while, I didn't find it useful at all, and one person put his hand to the wall irritably, and as soon as his hand touched the wall, he felt numb.

"Oh, no, the walls are coated with great poison." After the man finished speaking, he quickly pulled out the sharp short knife at his waist and cut off the palm that had turned black.

"Ahh The man just shouted for a moment, then gritted his teeth and held back, obviously a tough guy too.

Seeing this, Cao De hurriedly stepped forward to check, and under the illumination of the torch, black blood continued to flow out of the broken palm of the man's hand, but a trace of black blood still slowly spread to his arm.

Cao De's eyebrows furrowed, and he quickly grabbed the man's hand, squeezing it hard, and begged to expel the poisonous blood.

But this poison seems to be extremely domineering, as long as there is a trace of it, it will continue to spread upward, and in desperation, Cao De can only take out a short knife and cut off the man's entire arm.

"Ahh With another stab, the man couldn't hold back any longer, screamed miserably, and passed out.

Seeing this, Cao De carefully observed the wound with his eyes to confirm that no toxin had spread, and then he was relieved.

The severed hand on the ground was now completely black and rapidly decaying.

I didn't expect that the poison of this mural had been covered up for hundreds of years, and it was so afraid that it would make everyone's faces extremely ugly.

As the leader, Cao De naturally wants to stand up and boost morale at this time. "You take him out, the rest of the people, continue to search, be careful not to touch it."

The person who was ordered by Cao De to send people out was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to tie the injured person to his body and retreated.

The teacher is not good, and before there is a trace of gain, one person is lost, and another person is trapped inside, life and death are unknown, and this trip is destined to be dangerous.

Under Cao De's explanation, a group of people began to use tools and slowly groped around the wall.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly one of them felt something poked by the tool in his hand. "General, there's a discovery here!"

Hearing the shouting, a group of people hurriedly surrounded them, and saw that in front of the tool, the civil official who was poking the painting was poking and recessed in.

This must be a mechanism, and it is difficult to guess whether it will open the stone door or trigger the rest of the life-seeking objects.

Cao De concocted the same method, led the person to retreat to a hundred meters, and ordered the person to release the mechanism.

The man was nervous, and let go of his tools, and nothing imaginable appeared.

There was only one possibility, and the mechanism was not completely triggered, and in order to verify, the man poked the tool in again.

With the force, the tool slowly sank into the mechanism, until a "click" sounded, and then stopped.

As soon as this side stopped, the stone gate slowly rose, and everyone's hearts rose with joy, but at this moment, the person who opened the mechanism suddenly fell to the ground, startling a cloud of dust.
