"Old Wang, there are a total of five extremely domineering mechanisms in this sacred road. If you don't know the method to pass each mechanism, it is almost certain to die. Even if you know the method to pass it, ordinary people will definitely not be able to pass it. This has been hinted at on the stele just now. It is estimated that Senior Yue Chengzi also tried many times before he got the method to pass it. At that time, I didn't know that this was the mausoleum that Wu Zetian built for herself, so I thought it was a mechanism built by Senior Yue Chengzi." Standing in front of the sacred road, Yang Jing said calmly to Old Wang.
The front section of the Shinto road is four meters wide and thirty meters long. The spotlights on Yang Jing's heads and shoulders can only illuminate a distance of more than twenty meters. Therefore, the dark Shinto road in the distance looks like the open mouth of Godzilla, which makes people feel a little creepy.
Old Wang could understand some of the inscriptions on the tablet, but he was still far from being able to understand them all. After all, this kind of writing was said to be for the dead, belonging to the underworld. It was only circulated in a very small area in the deep mountains and old forests of southwest China, and there were only a few people in China who knew this kind of writing. It was already very remarkable that he could recognize about 200 characters.
So he took out his camera and retrieved the footage he had just taken. After zooming in, he pointed to a section of text and said to Yang Jing, "Xiao Yang, you are talking about this section of text, right? This should be the method to get through the Shinto mechanism, right?"
"That's right. Look at this paragraph. The translation means that when you see three, go left one, when you see six, go left two, and when you see nine, go forward one, and you will pass the trap. This is the way to pass the first mechanism. As long as you follow this method, you can pass the first trap mechanism safely."
Although Zhao Yong was a captain, it was his first time to participate in such an ancient tomb archaeological operation. Everything that had happened before had already made him very excited, but he did not expect that after entering the cave, there would be even more exciting mechanisms.
So he asked, "Brother Yang, this passage is so wide, how do you know where to start? The start is also very important. If you start wrong, even if you know how to pass the level, you probably won't be able to pass it safely, right?"
Yang Jing smiled and snapped his fingers. “Brother Zhao is right, but if you look closely, you should be able to see that there are some unusual things in this sacred road.”
After hearing Yang Jing's words, both Old Wang and Liu Yue's expressions changed. They began to look at this sacred road carefully, and Zhao Yong did the same.
However, one has to admire that Zhao Yong is a specially trained soldier. He may not know anything about archaeology, but he has extremely keen perception and observation when it comes to certain killing mechanisms.
He was the first to discover the clues.
Zhao Yong squatted on the ground, tilted his head and looked at Yang Jing and said, "Brother Yang, are the differences you mentioned these slight bumps on the ground? I just looked and the bumps on the ground seem to be related to the way you just mentioned. I think we have to step on these bumps every step and then follow the way to pass the level in order to finally walk safely through this sacred road?"
Yang Jing laughed loudly, gave Zhao Yong a thumbs up and said, "Brother Zhao, you'd be at a loss if you didn't become a treasure hunter. With your eyesight, if you're willing to be a treasure hunter, I don't think there are many traps in the world that can stop you."
Zhao Yong smiled and waved his hand, but did not respond.
Mr. Wang and Liu Yue looked at the ground carefully and nodded thoughtfully.
Yang Jing said, "Okay, let's not waste time. These four sections of the sacred road are quite long, so we have to hurry. However, I will walk through this section of the sacred road first, following the method of passing the level, and then I will test whether the mechanism is activated. If the mechanism is not activated, then you can walk over directly."
As he spoke, Yang Jing began to move forward in the way he had gone through the barrier. He had walked through it once before, so he was very familiar with it this time. In less than 20 seconds, he reached the end of this section of the sacred road. However, when he reached the end, he tried to walk back two steps, and after confirming that this section of the mechanism was indeed not activated, he walked back again in a swagger.
"Mr. Wang, Brother Liu, Brother Zhao, let's go. I have confirmed that the mechanism in this section of the sacred road has not been activated. We can pass through this section of the sacred road safely."
The three of them followed behind Yang Jing and lined up in a straight line, about three meters apart from each other. Zhao Yong was in the first place, Liu Yue was in the second place, and Old Wang originally wanted to follow behind Yang Jing, but he was squeezed to the back by the two young men.
Old Wang wanted to vent his anger but had no place to vent it, as he naturally knew that the two young men were thinking about him.
Yang Jing didn't care. After all, after the test just now, all the mechanisms in the sacred road should have been turned off, so there should be no danger here.
Sure enough, under the leadership of Yang Jing, Mr. Wang and the other three walked through this trap mechanism and came to the second flying blade mechanism.
Yang Jing also followed the same method to pass the level, and the mechanism was not triggered, so the four of them successfully passed the second level. Of course, in the middle of this level, the three of them also saw the location where the flying blades were ejected under Yang Jing's guidance.
These extremely sinister flying blades need an exit to be launched. Although the mechanism could not be restarted due to loss of power, after Yang Jing explained to them the situation when the mechanism was activated, even if the three of them did not see the flying blades with their own eyes, they could imagine how insidious and powerful these flying blades would be once they were launched by seeing the exit from which they were launched.
