Because there are police cars leading the way, although it is 140 kilometers from Luoyang to Gucheng Town, the convoy still arrived at Gucheng Town in just over two hours.

When the convoy arrived here, the town leaders and the head of the town police station were all waiting. They only received the notice from the above yesterday. Although they didn't know what the archaeological team was going to dig, the superiors ordered them to cooperate with the archaeological team with all their strength, and even linked this matter to their political achievements.

Such a harsh order also made the town leaders very concerned about this matter, so when the convoy arrived, all work immediately began in an orderly manner.

The preparations were made by Mr. Song, Mr. Wang, Mr. Yang Jing and several others with relevant equipment to the dock in the south of the town. The large truck pulling a pocket submarine also followed him to the dock.

After arriving at the pier, a cruise ship that could take more than 50 people had long been parked on the pier. This is the best cruise ship in the town, with two floors. It was originally a cruise ship that took tourists to visit the Xiaolangdi Reservoir, but now it has been directly requisitioned by the archaeological team.

Everyone moved all the equipment that was going to go into the water for inspection today into the lower floor of the cabin of the cruise ship. The lower floor is air conditioned and there is no sunshine. It is the best choice as a surface platform.

While everyone was carrying the equipment, the small crane that came with the big truck also hurried the pocket submarine into the water, and a captain officer carrying a three-star bar on his shoulder also walked out of the car.

The name of this officer is very ordinary, Zhao Yong, but he is very not simple. According to Mr. Wang, Captain Zhao is a special forces officer of the Marine Corps. This time he followed him to drive the submarine.

Following Captain Zhao, there were two soldiers with live ammunition. These two soldiers were to protect the submarine. After all, this was sensitive military equipment and no mistakes could be made.

The appearance of these three soldiers, especially two of whom were fully armed, immediately attracted a lot of people to watch.

It is summer now. Although the weather is very hot, it is the peak of tourism. Gucheng Town is an important tourist distribution center for Xiaolangdi Reservoir, so at this time many tourists gather near the dock, preparing to board the boat to visit Xiaolangdi Reservoir.

But the appearance of the archaeological team immediately aroused the tourists' interest. Tours to Xiaolangdi Reservoir can be carried out at any time, but this kind of archaeological team is really uncommon. Especially the appearance of the pocket submarine has attracted many tourists to raise their mobile phones to shoot.

Fortunately, Yang Jing and the others prepared very well. Not long after the submarine was launched, they connected to the back of the cruise ship through cables. There are still more than ten kilometers away from the diving location, so the submarine needs to be towed by the cruise ship.

Everything was ready, the captain of the cruise ship pulled the whistle, and the cruise ship slowly left the dock and headed towards the southeast.

At around nine o'clock more than half an hour later, the cruise ship stopped at the predetermined water level under Yang Jing's command. Captain Zhao Yong, who had been sitting on the submarine, brought the submarine close to the cruise ship. Mr. Wang and a young man named Liu Yue took the equipment on the submarine. As for Yang Jing, he had already worn the diving equipment and prepared to dive.

Originally, Wang always wanted Yang Jing to take a submarine, but Yang Jing said that there was no problem with the depth of his diving. This was how he went on last time, so he didn't have to worry about his safety.

Moreover, Yang Jing also said that he would lead the way in front and the submarine would dive behind, saving time and effort.

So, at Yang Jing's insistence, Wang Lao and Liu Yue took a submarine. Yang Jing carried a compressed air bottle and an oxygen mask to lead the way in front, and the pocket submarine followed behind and began to dive.

Captain Zhao Yong also admired Yang Jing's actions. He was an absolute Marine officer. Of course, he knew how difficult it was to dive more than 100 meters in bare hands, especially diving diseases that cost human life. But this young man actually dived directly, which was simply a strange person!

Although the submarine is small, the strong lights in front are extremely awesome. After turning on, the light can even shine forty or fifty meters. Moreover, this kind of military submarine is very fast. Yang Jing has a few lead blocks tied to his body, so the diving speed is not slow. After a few minutes, one person and one submarine came to the entrance of the tomb.

After Yang Jing entered last time, the stone slabs that were originally blocking the entrance of the cave never rose again, but in the depths of more than 100 meters under the water, even if there were no stone slabs to cover the entrance of the cave, no one could come in.

Yang Jing waved to the submarine, and then said with the help of a microphone hanging on his ear: "That cave entrance is the entrance of the tomb. Brother Zhao, the width of the cave entrance is only one and a half meters, and the height is about two meters. You have to be careful when you go in later."

"Don't worry, this size is not difficult for me." Zhao Yong's confident answer rang out of the headset.

Yang Jing nodded and swam in first. Zhao Yong carefully operated the submarine and took a few minutes to slowly drill into the hole.

It’s easy to talk about after entering the cave entrance. Due to the air pressure in the cave, there is no water at more than three meters after the cave entrance, and this location just happened to allow the submarine to surface.

When Mr. Wang and the other three got off the submarine with masks, Yang Jing had already taken out a dry short suit and shorts from the waterproof backpack and put them on.

When he got into the water, Yang Jing came down wearing swimming trunks. When he arrived in the cave, he simply took off his swimming trunks and changed into clean clothes.

"This cave is the passage directly to the tomb of Wu Zetian?" Wang Lao's voice sounded from the headset. The four people who went into the water today were wearing miniature communicators, so even if they had masks, it would not affect their communication with each other.

"That's right, Mr. Wang, walking up the naturally formed cave for about fifty meters, you can reach the first underground hall, where there is the first monument erected by Yuechengzi."

"What are you waiting for? Let's go quickly." Mr. Wang greeted and walked forward. Zhao Yong and Liu Yue mentioned the equipment carried in the submarine and followed Mr. Wang and Yang Jing forward.

This cave is a natural cave about one and a half meters wide and two meters high. It is almost forty degrees upward, so it is quite difficult to walk.

Yang Jing helped Mr. Wang and walked for about four or five minutes, he arrived at the underground hall with an radius of more than ten meters. Here, several people saw the stone tablet more than two meters high and one meter wide.

Mr. Wang immediately walked up and carefully looked at the stone tablet with the help of the lights on his shoulders and above his head. Liu Yue pointed the lens of the micro camera at the stone tablet.

There was a strong light on the upper part of the masks of four people, including Yang Jing, and there was a high-definition recorder next to the light, recording all the scenes after they were in the water.

In addition to the recorder that everyone carries, Liu Yue also took a miniature high-definition camera to record some important places, such as the stone tablet of extinction in front of him.

"This, is this the stone tablet of extinction?" Old Liu asked excitedly. The photos given to the four masters by Yang Jing before were shown in the photo of this stone tablet of extinction, so Old Wang knew that there were two inscriptions in this tomb that were engraved in the form of extinction by Yuechengzi.

"That's right, this is the first stone tablet erected by Yuechengzi back then. Mr. Wang, can you still understand the slaughter text?"

"I don't understand it very much, but I can understand it a little bit. I only understand about 200 scattered texts." Mr. Wang is a master of archaeology. It is actually quite amazing that he can recognize more than 200 scattered texts.

After a pause, Mr. Wang waved to Zhao Yong. Zhao Yong immediately took out a SLR camera from his backpack and handed it to Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang said to Liu Yue while fiddling with the camera: "Xiao Liu, record everything here, especially this monument!"

"Don't worry, Teacher Wang, I promise not to miss any key parts." Liu Yue said with a big mask with a smile.

Mr. Wang took dozens of photos crazily at the stone tablet, and then returned the camera to Zhao Yong.

Last time when Yang Jing came here, he put the stone tablet into the space at the last moment. At that time, he wanted to use this stone tablet as a certificate of innocence, but now it seems that it is not available. So when he returned here a few days ago, he placed the stone tablet here again.

"Xiao Yang, can you understand the slaughter text on this monument?" asked Mr. Wang.

"Yes, my first master is to teach the ancient Taoism in China, and my master is really a very capable person. I just dived here and nothing happened. It was because my master taught me a set of magical Taoist techniques that I could not find me in diving. In addition, my master once taught me a lot of other knowledge, and this vanishing text is also one of them, so I can understand this stele."

Mr. Wang gestured to Yang Jing with a big thumbs up. Obviously, he admired the master Yang Jing also said.

After the four of them stayed in this hall for less than ten minutes, they continued to move forward and then walked forward, which was the divine way leading to the tomb of Wu Zetian.

"Old Wang, this is the Shinto that leads to the core of the tomb. However, when I came last time, this Shinto was filled with various killing mechanisms. Fortunately, Yue Chengzi left a method of how to pass this Shinto on the monument, so I could pass this Shinto in that way. But it was also extremely thrilling at the beginning, and I almost didn't get over it."

"You little guy, you are too reckless. Remember, you must not take risks when you encounter this situation in the future."
