"That's right, Mr. Wang. If you walk up this naturally formed cave for about fifty meters, you will reach the first underground hall, where you will find the first stele erected by Yue Chengzi."
"What are you waiting for? Let's go." Old Wang called out and walked forward. Zhao Yong and Liu Yue picked up the equipment carried in the submarine and followed Old Wang and Yang Jing forward.
This cave is a natural cave that is about one and a half meters wide and two meters high. It is at an angle of nearly 40 degrees upwards, so it is quite difficult to walk in.
Yang Jing supported Old Wang and walked for about four or five minutes before arriving at the underground hall which was more than ten meters in radius. Here, several people saw the stone tablet which was more than two meters high and one meter wide.
Old Wang immediately walked up and, with the help of the lights on his shoulders and overhead, carefully examined the stone tablet, while Liu Yue pointed the lens of the micro camera at the stone tablet.
There is a strong light on the top of the mask of the four people, including Yang Jing, and next to the light is a high-definition recorder that records all the scenes after they go into the water.
In addition to the recorder that everyone carried, Liu Yue also took a miniature high-definition camera to record some important places, such as the stone tablet in front of him.
"Is this the stone tablet with the inscription of extinction?" Elder Liu asked excitedly. The photos that Yang Jing had given to the four masters before included a photo of the stone tablet with the inscription of extinction, so Elder Wang knew that there were two tablets in this mausoleum that were inscribed by Yue Chengzi in the form of extinction.
"Yes, this is the first stone tablet erected by Yue Chengzi. Mr. Wang, can you still read the inscription?"
“I don’t understand it very well, but I can understand some of it. I only know about 200 or so characters in the Xuanwen script.” Mr. Wang is an expert in archaeology. It is actually quite remarkable that he can recognize more than 200 characters in this extremely obscure Xuanwen script.
After a pause, Mr. Wang waved to Zhao Yong, who immediately took out a SLR camera from his backpack and handed it to Mr. Wang. While fiddling with the camera, Mr. Wang said to Liu Yue, "Xiao Liu, record everything here, especially this stele!"
"Don't worry, Teacher Wang. I promise not to miss any key parts." Liu Yue said with a smile while wearing a big mask.
Mr. Wang frantically took dozens of photos of the stone tablet before returning the camera to Zhao Yong.
The last time Yang Jing came here, he put the stone tablet into the space at the last minute. At that time, he was thinking of using the stone tablet as proof of his innocence, but now it seems that it is of no use at all, so when he returned here a few days ago, he placed the stone tablet here again.
"Xiao Yang, can you understand the inscriptions on this stele?" asked Old Wang.
"Yes, my first master is a disciple of our ancient Taoism, and my master is really a very capable person. I just dived here without any problem because my master taught me a set of magical Taoist exercises, so I can ensure that decompression sickness will not find me. In addition, my master has also taught me a lot of other knowledge, and this extermination text is one of them, so I can understand this stele."
Old Wang gave Yang Jing a thumbs up, and it was obvious that he also admired the master Yang Jing mentioned.
After staying in the hall for less than ten minutes, the four people continued to move forward. Walking further, they arrived at the sacred road leading to Wu Zetian's tomb.
"Old Wang, this is the sacred road leading to the core of the mausoleum. But when I came here last time, this sacred road was full of various murderous traps. Fortunately, Yue Chengzi left a method on the stele on how to pass through this sacred road, so I was able to pass through it according to that method. But it was also extremely thrilling at the time, and I almost didn't make it."
"You are so reckless, little guy. Remember, if you encounter this kind of situation again, never take risks."
"Hehe, weren't I just anxious at the time? Besides, there was a way to pass the Shinto Road, so I didn't think much about it, and finally I passed it. Also, don't worry, the mechanisms in this Shinto Road are all powered by a hidden river inside the mountain. After I entered the core of the mausoleum last time, I turned off the power source of the mechanism, so it is safe for us to enter the Shinto Road this time. When we leave later, I will lead the way in front, and you follow behind at a distance to ensure that you will not encounter any danger."
