Chapter 240 Circular Tomb

Xiao Ran looked at the stone door in front of him, and as the two doors at the other end of the tunnel closed and slowly opened, he suddenly realized that he was in a false alarm. The two doors were opened and closed in a zero-sum manner with the same switch.

It seems that my nerves are really too tight. I should have tried pulling the ring again, but I didn't expect that these are two yin and yang doors that open and close one after another.

It’s no wonder. When the stone door just opened, the air on both sides of the door experienced strong convection, which lasted for tens of seconds, indicating that the space behind the door was more than just the ten-meter-long tunnel. But now he was tired and hungry, and his

IQ and bad mood have also waxed and waned.

After taking a few deep breaths to calm down, Xiao Ran asked Liu Shengli to wait outside the stone gate first just in case, and asked Xu Er to pull the ring again to try.

Sure enough, after Xu Er pulled the ring again, the two doors leading to the tomb slowly opened again, and the stone door slowly rose.

"Okay, don't worry now, let Liu Er come in."

After pulling the lifting ring twice more, the three finally gathered in front of the two doors at the other end of the tunnel.

Standing at the door and looking in, he could only see a wall and no clear tomb chamber. Xiao Ran thought this was another screen wall blocking the door, so he stepped into the door first and looked left and right, only to find that there was another wall on both sides.

The passage, which is about ten meters long, has a 90-degree turn at the end.

What kind of trick is this? He asked Liu Shengli and Xu Er to stay where they were. He ran to the left and right sides and looked again. He saw that after the passages on both sides turned, there was another ten-meter-long passage.

He roughly estimated that this should be a zigzag tomb, and the main entrance of the tomb should be on the other side opposite to the entrance.

On his way back to the entrance, he deliberately took a look at the roof, floor, and walls on both sides of the passage, and suddenly discovered something strange.

Some locations have obviously been renovated. Although the so-called new ones may be hundreds of years old, they are obviously much stronger than the surrounding rammed earth walls. Some of the ground locations are even covered with a layer of rusty rough metal plates.

He took Liu Shengli's engineering shovel and pried up the nearest metal plate. In the hole under the metal plate, he could vaguely see the gears and metal rods that had been artificially sealed with rammed earth. On the top of these wheels, there were some

The traces of disassembly should be that key parts have been removed.

Xiao Ran was puzzled. He covered the metal plate and pried open a few wall tiles that looked relatively fresh. Inside were either gear levers that had also been dismantled and sealed with rammed earth, or batteries that had been broken without arrows.

Crossbow device.

Xiao Ran looked at the reinforced top again and roughly understood something. It seemed that all the anti-theft mechanisms in the tomb had been destroyed.

But who did this? A tomb robber? Thinking of this, his heart skipped a beat. He originally thought he had found the hidden Tomb of Tianling Tombs, but he didn't expect that the tomb robbers had already arrived first.

But when I think about it carefully, I think it’s impossible. What kind of tomb robber can have such a leisurely mind? It’s good to try not to trigger the mechanism when entering the tomb. And the leisurely mind is made of rammed earth and metal plates. Why go to the tomb to decorate it?

?

Thinking about it this way, it can only be the old guy from Tianling Sanren. Since he can find a way to build such a hall and create so many mechanisms, he naturally has the corresponding strength to level the mechanisms in the tomb.

But why would he do this?

The more Xiao Ran thought about it, the more he felt as if his stomach was being squeezed and rubbed by a hand, and at the same time, black shadows and gold stars appeared alternately in his eyes.

He was so hungry that Xiao Ran felt that he could no longer move his mind. No matter what his reasons were, Tianling Sanren had already eliminated all dangers, and the most important thing was to go directly to the tomb.

He asked Liu Shengli and Xu Er to follow him, walked forward from the left, turned two turns, and walked to the middle of the wall. Sure enough, there was another round-arched doorway, but there was still a wall opposite the doorway.

Xiao Ran felt annoyed. It seemed that the structure of the tomb chamber was not a simple zigzag shape. It might even be a zigzag shape. I don't know how many layers of walls there were. However, considering that there were traps everywhere, this structure could indeed prevent tomb robbers.

The thief's lethality and mental destruction are brought into full play.

After going around four square walls in a row, the last arch finally appeared in front of the three of them. Xiao Ran raised his flashlight and shined a light into the door, and his eyes suddenly lit up. Liu Shengli and Xu Er also let out a cry of relief.

In the center of the tomb, which is only about ten square meters, lies a stone coffin. One side of the coffin is carved with auspicious clouds and pines, as well as turtles, cranes, deer and other auspicious animals. The other side is carved with the facade, forehead and eaves of the house.

Columns, doors and windows are all available.

The cover of the stone coffin was also specially designed with slopes on all sides and the roof of the verandah with overhanging eaves. The entire stone coffin looked like a miniature model of the fairy palace hall.

Xiao Ran seemed to have seen this appearance somewhere, and it was not long ago.

"Xiao Gang, what is this house? It's quite beautiful. Is this a coffin?"

Xu Er asked suddenly, interrupting Xiao Ran's train of thought. Liu Shengli interrupted: "This is not a coffin, this is called a coffin, a stone coffin. The coffin is inside, right manager?"

Xiao Ran nodded, took out a candle from his backpack, took out the compass and selected the direction, then asked Liu Shengli to go to the southeast corner to light the candle.

The structure of this wall-within-a-wall tomb is good, that is, no evil wind will blow in, extinguish the candles, and add so much uncertainty to the opening of the coffin.

While the other two people were busy, he quickly asked for the soul-locking spirit bead to see if the tomb owner in the coffin was a loose person from Tianling and whether it could be dealt with easily.

But the answer from the Soul Locking Lingzhu was that the voice of the soul could not be heard in this stone coffin.

Xiao Ran wondered in his heart, could this tomb owner also be a victim of the Living Pill? Or was it that the Tianling San people were so cruel to him, and they also took a Living Pill, and their brains were hollowed out by the snake?

Liu Shengli lit the candles and ran back to him and said, "Okay, manager!"

Xiao Ran looked back at the candle in the corner. The yellow-red flame was burning steadily, as quietly as a painting. He confidently recited some of the same coffin-opening prayers to the stone coffin, and then arranged for Liu Shengli to open the coffin.

Together with Xu Er, he went to open the lid of the stone coffin.

"There is a coffin and a coffin, which means he is a big shot. Although we haven't found a way out yet, it's good to see him first. If it's the old scourge of the Tianling Sanren, we'll give him a whipping to punish him!" Xiao Ran said

.

When Liu Shengli heard the topic of a way out, he fainted again: "Manager, even if we open the coffin, get the treasure and avenge those people, it will be in vain if we can't get out..."

"I can definitely get out, don't worry... I have my own arrangements... I'll open the coffin first! Get ready!"

In fact, from the moment he entered the tomb, Xiao Ran knew that there could be no exit here. Who would arrange a road from the tomb to the outside? Should we put up another sign saying "Welcome to visit, please do not take away"?

He had already thought of a backup plan to go out, but that plan had to take some risks.

"One, two, three! Push!"

After several slogans, the three of them were tired and flushed, and beads of sweat rolled down their foreheads. Until their eyes turned black and their legs became weak, the stone coffin cover was finally lifted by the three of them and slid to the side.

There was a burst of dust and dust, and the candle in the corner suddenly flickered. Xiao Ran didn't have time to look inside the stone coffin, so he quickly ran to the candle and stretched out his hand to shield the flames from the wind.

Xu Er rushed over first and held a torch to shine into the coffin, but his expression froze for a moment. Liu Shengli next to him also widened his eyes and muttered: "This...this..."
