However, it is said that there are nine active toads in the temple of the mountain, which are the mechanism that opens the entrance to the secret passage.

The partridge whistle operated inside, and it was clear that the nine big toads had been arranged into a "number of nine loops" according to the records of feng shui secret techniques, but there was no movement.

The confused Partridge Whistle took Chen Yulou and the others out to check, but heard Luo Changfeng's voice coming from not far away: "Boss, here, the entrance to the secret passage is here." ”

Everyone was overjoyed, and hurriedly ran to Luo Changfeng's side, and immediately found the cracked big gourd.

Partridge Whistle said happily: "The mark on the Zhenling spectrum is correct, this should be the entrance to the secret passage, and it must be able to lead to the cave eye star position closest to the water dragon halo, and go to the Ming Tower to worship, it seems that you can only reach it by passing through here." ”

As he spoke, Luo Changfeng had already held the copper ring with Hua Ma on the left and right, and pulled the stone door up, revealing a narrow passage.

Chen Yulou and Luo Changfeng, who could see things at night, could see that there were countless huge white bones and ivory in the cave, and there was a huge burial pit in this secret passage.

At the left and right ends of the cave, in an asymmetrical position, there is a hole opening, and the two sides of the main road are full of white bones, and only a large number of huge ivory in the shape of a cone arc can be distinguished, and there are sparkling water waves in the distance, and it is indeed an underground river.

Chen Yulou sighed: "Sure enough, we have to cut wood to make a raft, this entrance is narrow, and the raft can't be carried in, so we have to go down a few people first, clear out an open field, and lift the wood below to make a raft." ”

Luo Changfeng didn't say much, and commanded directly: "Jumping in the ground, you take your group of brothers and go down with me to explore." ”

"Yes. "Jumping in the ground is a first-generation swordsman, and most of his second-generation swordsmen are also short, which can be regarded as a characteristic of the Jieling swordsmen.

Chen Yulou instructed: "Be careful, if there is any change, come out first." ”

"Don't worry! Luo Changfeng patted Chen Yulou on the shoulder, and then took the ground to jump down the tunnel with the ten second-generation swordsmen under him.

Their equipment is more than that of Hu Bayi's trio, except for Luo Changfeng, who doesn't need it, each person has a headlamp, and they can see the situation in the tunnel clearly.

This section of the tunnel at the entrance is obviously artificially built, both sides are neatly built with large blue striped stones, the stone joints are sealed with red lacquer, and the large square bricks on the ground are very flat, like the corridor in the ancient tomb.

On both sides of the tunnel, the whole elephant skeleton was neatly stacked, which was the skeleton of the whole elephant, which was obviously brought from outside after being slaughtered.

In the burial pit to place the whole elephant bone or ivory, in order to take the homonym of the elephant "auspicious", as early as the Shang Tang period, the elephant bone and ivory have been used as burial goods, in Yin Ruins has unearthed a large number of ivory.

These bones of the martyrs are deliberately half-buried, rather than buried in the whole soil like the burial ditch, which shows that the tomb owner is to become an immortal, and no longer cares too much about worldly things.

There were sixty-four elephant bones in total, countless tusks, and a number of scattered bones of small animals, all of which had decayed over time, making it impossible to tell what they were.

However, this burial pit is large enough and flat enough that thousands of people will not feel crowded when they come in, and it is not a problem to make a raft here.

Moving on, at the corner of the tunnel, a piece of stone wall was recessed, only a few meters deep, and scattered with several long poles, which seemed to be connected together.

Some people thought it was strange, so they wanted to reach out and pick it up to take a look, but when they touched these long rods, they would rot into thin mud, and because of the groundwater, things from 2,000 years ago would rot at the touch.

This pit on the stone wall of the tunnel seems to be specially used to put these long poles, but except for Luo Changfeng, they can't figure out what this long pole is used for, but they don't care about it.

Walk to the end of the tunnel, it is about ten zhang away from the ground, from here, it is no longer an artificially built tunnel, but an underground natural cave, and there is no way to follow, only an underground river extends to the unknown depths.

There are several ancient wooden boats lined up by the river, and the people who go to the Ming Tower to worship the king take these boats to pass, but after a long time, these wooden boats are also so rotten that only the boat frame remains, and it is difficult to use it anymore.

Luo Changfeng said: "Let's go! Go up first, call more brothers to come down, break all those elephant bones and move them to the corners of the tunnel, pile them together, and empty the place as a place to make a raft." ”

"Yes. ”

Luo Changfeng and his entourage went up to tell the situation, and after Chen Yulou and the others came down to take a look, everyone was busy in full swing.

There were three hundred and seventy-two of them, and with a lot of equipment, they could only make a raft for four people, that is, they had to build ninety-three rafts.

However, they were lucky to have a good time along the way, and when the soldiers and bandits dispersed to cut wood, someone found a large bamboo forest nearby.

Chen Yulou and others were overjoyed, bamboo is lighter than trees, but it is more buoyant and more suitable.

The buoyancy that a raft requires ten logs to achieve, while bamboo may only need six or seven to achieve, and they can also save a lot of time cutting down materials.

With bamboo, there is a slight change in the personnel arrangement, and each raft is up to five people, so that only seventy-five rafts can be made.

If the bamboo raft needs to be used for many years, it will be quite troublesome to do, and the bamboo needs to be scalded with hot oil before it can be used as a raw material, and there are some other additional processes.

If not, the bamboo raft would not last for a few months and would soon rot, but Chen Yulou and they only used it temporarily, so they completely avoided those unnecessary troubles.

The bamboo was carried into the underground tunnel one by one, and there were unloading swordsmen cutting bamboo, the speed was simply not too fast, the steel long swords in their hands were sharp enough, one sword, one sword, and even some generation of swordsmen could have a few swords.

The division of labor was clear, and the swordsman was divided into two parts, one was responsible for cutting the bamboo, and the other was responsible for removing the branches and cutting the bamboo to the same length.

The soldiers of the engineer digging battalion are responsible for carrying the bamboo to the tunnel, and the Xieling Lux is responsible for tying the bamboo raft, everyone performs their duties in an orderly manner, and the bamboo rafts are tied one after another, and they are stacked in the places where the elephant bones were originally placed on both sides of the tunnel.

It took a whole day to set up more than 70 sturdy and durable bamboo rafts, and in addition to the bamboo rafts, more than 100 slightly thinner bamboos were cut to make pennies.

After resting around the mountain temple for the night, the next day I went down the tunnel, every five people carried a bamboo raft, put it into the river, and then went up directly, set up a searchlight in front of the bamboo raft, and carried the bamboo raft to the depths.

The underground river channel is not narrow, but two bamboo rafts can be parallel, and the two bamboo rafts are parallel, which is also safer, and if there is anything, you can support each other.

The bamboo raft they tied was not a single row, but was divided into two layers, which not only had greater buoyancy, but also made the upper layer more stable and not easy to roll over.

After all, among the things they carried, there were explosives that could not be wet, so they had to work a little more to tie them into a double-decker bamboo raft.

Luo Changfeng is undoubtedly on the bamboo raft in the front row, in addition to him, this bamboo raft also has partridge whistles, flower hemp crutches, live monkeys, and jumping in the ground.

They are all people with strong martial arts and agile skills, and it is naturally their responsibility to open the way in front of their heads.
