I thought about it and found that it did make sense. Every design here has its role, so I continued: "This project is huge enough. Could it be that Liu Zhu pretended to be dead and crawled here just to sprinkle sulfur?"

"He probably died of mercury poisoning. In my opinion, he coveted the items in the treasure, and the mercury was blocking his way, so he had to act like this to get to the last step!" Dong Huang speculated.

He said, "Maybe he died in the middle of the process. These are his wife's coming from behind to fulfill her husband's wishes!"

The clues about the mercury sulfide crystals suddenly solved many of our questions. Everyone suddenly understood that the intricate secrets of this treasure were finally connected into a gradually clear line.

"What kind of poison is mercury?" the weirdo asked eagerly, "Why can't mercury get in?"

"You're not afraid of mercury, you're afraid of mercury vapor." After a moment of shock, Dr. Lin regained his poker face and explained like a scientific master, "As long as the temperature is above zero, mercury begins to evaporate, and the air is

It is pervasive and can flow to any place. If a person inhales a certain amount, he or she will die."

The weirdo nodded and said thoughtfully: "If this is the case, the content of the Han portrait stone should be told here!"

I recalled the contents of the Han portrait stone and waited for the weirdo's next words.

"The emperor dug the road leading here. The mercury here turned into steam and floated out, so the flowers, plants and trees on the mountain withered. The soldiers in the front, after inhaling too much poisonous gas, immediately became warped.

Whoever digs will die on the spot, so the treasure digging project has to end."

"How do you explain the curse stories at the end?" I asked.

Dr. Lin thought for a while and answered me: "The people who died later had spasticity in their limbs and the children were born with developmental abnormalities. This is quite similar to the characteristics of Minamata disease. The soldiers suffered the same symptoms as those who were exposed to mercury pollution. Back then,

In Japan, this disease killed more than 10,000 people in a small town. In the past few years for unknown reasons, the Japanese also thought that this was a punishment from God, or that they had incurred the curse of dirty things, so they set up altars to offer sacrifices, pray to gods, and worship Buddha.

, isn’t it the same with the emperor in the mural?”

I felt extremely happy all of a sudden, and the knot in my heart was finally solved. There were no zombies, no monsters, and no curses. The deadly mercury was taken care of by the desperate King of Chu. We enjoyed the results and uncovered a big secret!

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. There is nothing more reassuring than knowing the truth about something strange. Next, just follow the map with confidence and boldness, and the treasure will be right in front of you!

This kind of pleasure of revealing the secret is something I have never experienced before. The sense of accomplishment and joy from the heart arises spontaneously and fills my tired body.

I can't wait to tell the secrets we discovered in the treasure of the Overlord of the World! I instantly felt that all the previous adventures were worth it. If I hadn't run to the mountain in 1998, if the weirdo hadn't handed me the knife and called me,

I will never have such a great feeling in my life!

Except for the rigid big iceberg, everyone had a little pride on their lips. I suddenly understood their strange life very well, and I longed to uncover more and deeper secrets.

I impulsively pulled Donghuang over and asked with a serious face to join the secret keeper profession he mentioned.

"Don't be ridiculous, just grow up obediently, go to school, go to work, get married and have children!" Donghuang deliberately didn't look at me, ducked to the side, and urged a few people on the ground to stand up, "We can't just rest here and work hard all at once.

Rush out, I will take you to eat and drink spicy food!"

"Okay!" When the weirdo heard that there was delicious food, he immediately became energetic. Regardless of whether Dr. Lin was ready, he picked it up and carried it on his shoulders.

My hot face hit a cold butt, and my enthusiasm was half gone. I muttered, turned on the headlamp and followed behind, turning back step by step. I didn’t have a camera, so I couldn’t take out these magnificent mercury sulfide crystals, so I could only stare.

Record their final appearance with all your strength.

In addition to this, I also want to test whether there is anything else following behind. After all, I am too tired, and my sixth sense is not as good as when I am full of energy.

Now that there is light shining on it, there is indeed no one behind it. Sure enough, my feeling is wrong.

Dr. Lin got us on the right track in a few minutes. I found that the roads leading to the spar were smooth and direct, but the route we took to avoid it was bumpy, rocky and bumpy.

I think there are two reasons for this design. If the road surface on the spar is uneven, firstly, mercury will easily seep into the corners, and secondly, it will be inconvenient to transport so much sulfur.

Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, the mission of successive Chu kings has been to garrison Xuzhou City. For them, the secret of this treasure was an order from the emperor and a taboo that would be punished by heaven.

Liu Zhu discovered that since Heavenly Scourge is the secret of mercury, he must also know how terrifying mercury vapor is.

If the steam leaks, not only will the entire Jiuli Mountain be barren of grass, but the nearby people and farm animals will not be able to escape. What's more, there is an underground river that provides the entire city's underground water source! In this way, the poison in the air and water will be

It will destroy half the city of Xuzhou!

At this moment, I finally understood why those scientists, chemists, and archaeologists dared not excavate the Qin Mausoleum. The underground must be more terrifying than here, with rivers of mercury criss-crossing it. Once something goes wrong, it will become a super important biochemical...

If there is an accident, everyone is done playing.

Thinking of this, I despise Liu Zhu very much. What he is doing is playing with fire on paper and walking on thin ice. If he dies, he will die. If something goes wrong, half of the people in the city will suffer...

No wonder he worked so hard to dig secret passages and come back from the dead. Once this trouble comes out, not only the people will turn against him, but even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty will not be able to protect him. Xuzhou is the hometown of Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty.

The origin of the Han Dynasty! Liu Zhu must have died ten thousand times.

But thinking about it from another perspective, he actually had the courage to complete such a huge and dangerous project in this dark and cold underground without anyone noticing!

Mouse said that the most powerful tomb robber was Xiang Yu, who even dared to dig up the tomb of Qin Shihuang. However, he also believed that the mercury trap was unsolvable. He was so manic and domineering that he did not dare to dig up the underground palace of Qin's mausoleum, so he had to level the ground.

The building above.

But more than a hundred years later, such an unknown little prince mastered the whimsical technology of neutralizing mercury!

There are so many people in history who have not left their names. Among them, there must be someone guarding some secrets, standing outside the history books, looking at the world with a mysterious smile!

"There is no way." Dr. Lin said before.

I came to my senses and ran to him and turned on my headlights.

There are indeed no other forks in the road. What we have in front of us is an ordinary cave entrance.

"Get out of here?" The weirdo raised his head and asked, "It's too hidden!"

Dr. Lin's chin rested on his hair, as if he had a beard. He said lightly: "The road on the map has been completed, and there are only two end points left. If you want to go out, it's not this one."

, it’s the other one in the opposite direction, try them one by one.”

After hearing this, Glasses couldn't wait to get in, and the weirdo followed up with our hero bending down.

The cave is really winding, with jagged rocks protruding from top to bottom, left and right. Without my glasses, I stumbled all the way, falling down and getting up again and again. The indentation on my face has not faded, and my face was bruised and swollen again after the fall.

There was no echo as loud as in the maze. I deliberately waited until the end of the team and whispered a few words to Dong Huang: "Master Dong, what do you think is going on with those two monkey brothers?"

"One of the real and fake Monkey Kings may be a six-eared macaque!"

"Don't be ridiculous, I'm always wondering in my heart, how could someone have a clone? Even if one of them is a macaque in disguise, which one do you think is fake?"

"I'm not with you, and I haven't seen the two monkey brothers. How can I judge?"

I thought to myself: The monkey brother who is with me, the mouse will definitely recognize it; the monkey brother who is with the glasses has indeed opened two mechanisms. They have exactly the same appearance and the same ability. From this point of view, both of them are the same.

real!

I wonder if it is possible that everyone has remembered the wrong time. After the mouse died, Brother Monkey escaped from nowhere and met the glasses and turned on the mechanism. Or maybe he turned on the mechanism with the glasses first and then started a chain with us.

Turn board.

But I calculated the time over and over again, and the difference was still too obvious. They did appear at the same time.

"Why is it like this again!"

The wail of glasses came from the front, interrupting my contemplation.

We hurried forward a few steps, and there was another large piece of mercury sulfide crystal on the ground!

"Mercury was also poured into the cave?" I asked strangely.

Doctor Lin thought about the map and replied: "That means you are going the wrong way, and the cave at the other end is the exit."

"Okay, one of the two paths has been eliminated, let's go to the one that is 100% correct!" Glasses looked very sad when he saw the crystal, and urged us to leave quickly.

"boom!"

As soon as I turned around and wanted to go back, there was a loud noise from underground.

"What the fuck happened again!" Dong Huang cursed fiercely, "There have been constant situations along the way and they haven't stopped!"

"boom!"

This sound was even louder, and I felt a tremor while supporting the ground with my hands!

"Isn't it an earthquake?" Glasses asked pitifully.

When I heard this, my heart sank: "Isn't it because the mountain collapsed?"

"Go, go, go! What are you talking about!" Dong Huang spat angrily.

"boom!"

This time the sound was just below the palm of my hand, and several small stones in the cave were shaken off.

The weirdo turned around and called Dong Huang: "Why does it sound like an explosion? Could it be an explosion..."

Before he could finish speaking, the ground less than 1 meter away from my glasses suddenly collapsed!

Stones, dust, and shiny red fragments all blew into my face, and my knees were instantly empty!

A hole opened in the ground, and half of my body fell down. I quickly used my arms to support myself and hung in the air!

"**!"

A man's curse came from below.

Then I was dragged back into the cave by someone, and that person climbed up behind me on gravel.

He coughed a few times and blew away the dust in front of him.

I turned around to look at his face, and my whole body suddenly became stiff!
Chapter completed!
