Although there were both night vision devices and head-mounted miner's lamps in the system warehouse, Mei Qian did not use these, but relied on his night vision ability to explore forward bit by bit.
Maybe the word "exploring" is a little inappropriate, because he didn't see a pattern on the stone bricks in the corridor, or the stone statue at the corner, which all corresponded to the fragments that kept flashing in his mind.
But everything here is very different from what I remember.
Generally speaking, compared with several underground ruins that Mei Qian had been impressed by before, the condition of this ancient tomb is really not that good.
The Dongshan Xinglin Mountain underground altar that he and Zhang Yu fell into had numerous robber holes on the periphery, but the collapse of the main structure allowed air circulation. Even though it was very old, even the bamboo slips were preserved. It is said that during the excavation, a group of archaeologists
The scientist is overjoyed, and the cleaning work is not yet finished.
Needless to say, the underground ruins of Xia Capital are extremely valuable even if they are severely damaged. Anyway, if Xia Capital wants to have a subway line, it will take at least three to five years.
Not to mention that Wushan Shirengou is an underground maze that looks like something from a fantasy world. Even though someone activates the "electric door" every few years, the devices inside can still operate.
The ancient tomb that Mei Qian is currently in has the appearance of being ravaged by time.
He stepped on the slippery ground and carefully opened the thorns hanging in front of him, thinking this way.
In fact, in my memory, one hundred and fifty years ago, this place was still quite well maintained. At least the ground was very dry at that time, and there were not so many moss and aquatic plants. The anti-insect measures were also perfect. Unlike now, a few steps would startle a group of them.
A group of small animals.
Mei Qian hung the Spirit Transformation Seal on his chest, and instantly, the centipedes and cockroaches surrounding him, always trying to crawl up his legs, lined up like computer programs and got into the gaps in the stone bricks.
He sighed softly, cursed secretly, and then continued to move forward.
The feet were slippery, and the big slippers were covered with cloth shoe covers. It was extremely uncomfortable to walk on them, but with his good balance, he was able to pay attention to the sound of footsteps while maintaining his speed.
Especially the further inside, the softer the sound of his walking became, gradually becoming silent.
The corridor was not long. After turning two turns, Mei Qian came to a brick room with a dome.
Perhaps because of the connection with the outside world, although there is less moss in the brick interior, the mud seems to be a bit thicker than the corridor. Outside, it looks empty and clean, and the original exquisite murals on the walls have long lost their bright colors and have even fallen off.
Because except for the indistinguishable stone carved palace lanterns covered in green on both sides of the toppled stone door, and the mostly rotten wooden coffin in the center of the stone chamber, there was nothing else.
In Mei Qian's memory, this stone chamber was the same as the corridor outside. It was built later than the main tomb chamber to bury a favorite of the owner of the tomb. It originally had some valuable burial objects and was separated from the main tomb chamber.
It's also inconsistent.
But one hundred and fifty years ago, after the Iron Masked Buddha and his men came again, they not only dug two robbery holes here, but also took away some ritual vessels, porcelain and other funerary objects and sold them.
If the tomb owner could move, even the Buddha would not be able to hold down the coffin board, let alone the coffin board.
How could the same group of tomb robbers pick out one dead person for decades to cause trouble?
Yes, although the Iron-faced Buddha himself looked down upon these funerary objects. But originally this was a tomb of the Southern Han Dynasty that was secretly located, cleverly designed and well-preserved, so it naturally became the best "training base".
At first, he himself explored the place according to his master's instructions, and later on, naturally, his subordinates also participated.
One or two people came down at a time, and the grave goods were searched and looted every time they came. By the time it was sealed, it was already empty.
This is the purpose of Master Yu, the Iron-faced Buddha, Bah! Master Jiao, the Iron-faced Buddha, and his disciples live here in seclusion.
Tomb robbing is a job! After all, it is a type of work where practice is greater than theory. All kinds of knowledge need to be mastered and practical skills must be strengthened. There happens to be such a good training place next to Beizhuang, so why not take advantage of it?
As a result, even though Mei Qian's memory fragments about this place gradually became clearer, and even complete chapters were coded in the document, he did not dare to publish them.
The nature of this place is different from other tombs in the novel, which can still be dealt with by coincidence. The personal color here is too strong and cannot be seen in the light.
It can be said that even if he died, he would not let anyone discover this tomb.
Thinking of this, Mei Qian only glanced at the exposed bones in the coffin, and then got into the hole in the wall.
This cave is completely different from the entrance. After more than ten times of reprocessing, it can fully accommodate a person walking upright inside.
Therefore, Mei Qian's speed was not affected in any way. With the help of the Spirit Transformation Seal, he quickly entered the corridor of the main tomb.
The green bricks used to build the walls here are much more exquisite than those outside, and there are also exquisite reliefs carved on both sides of the corridor.
Apart from being careful about the sound of his footsteps, he walked here without any worries.
He knew that most of the mechanisms in the tomb had been destroyed, and it was because there was no longer any value for practicing skills that this place was finally abandoned.
Naturally, the closed tomb door no longer existed, so it didn't take long for Mei Qian to enter the main tomb chamber.
Perhaps because it was inconvenient to take them out, the mercenaries and unique statues still stood on both sides without much damage.
Mei Qian strode towards the high platform in the center under the gaze of countless terrifying and cold eyes.
As he stepped up the jade steps, he could see the huge coffin at a glance. He couldn't help but look inside. Just as he remembered, the owner of the tomb had long since decayed to the point where no bones were left.
Immediately after the flashlight light came on, he squatted down and used the light to start searching carefully on the side of the coffin. When he found the target, he put the flashlight in his mouth, and a dagger instantly appeared in his hand.
Does he have any special hobbies?
If there is another person standing by at this time, he will be surprised to find that a large row of crooked words have been carved on the coffin in front of him. Moreover, these words are definitely not used to describe the life of the tomb owner, let alone an epitaph.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Mei Qian looked at the largest and most conspicuous font at the top, and her eyelids twitched like worms.
He gritted his teeth, held the dagger in both hands and scratched viciously at the words "Mei Qian is here for a visit".
The dagger Mei Qian bought for collection was very expensive, and of course it was sharp. Soon, he had cut off a layer of the stone coffin, making it look extremely unsightly.
And just when he was about to erase the rest of the names, his ears suddenly twitched, and his expression couldn't help but be startled. He hurriedly put the flashlight into the warehouse, and without caring about anything else, he trotted off the stone platform and left the main room.
Tomb chamber.
Sure enough, his front feet were hidden in the corner, and light shone not far away.
Mei Qian peeked out half of his head and saw a group of at least a dozen people wearing headlamps, slowly walking towards the main tomb chamber.
Presumably these are the tomb robbers who belong to "Wuwang".
Mei Qian hid in the corner, wanting to listen more to see if she could get any clues from the conversation of this group of people.
They don't know how they will feel when they find that they have worked hard to find the royal tomb and dug it out to buy land and build a house, but there is nothing valuable inside.
Unfortunately, these people had very little communication with each other, and after entering the main tomb chamber, some curses were heard.
I guess I've discovered something is wrong here.
Mei Qian guessed that when the other party reached this point, there was absolutely no way he would be willing to lose money, so it was only reasonable to continue to place hope in the burial chambers on both sides.
He didn't want to stay long, so he quietly left the corridor, but did not return to the robbery cave immediately. Instead, he stood there and thought for a while, then began to fumble on the wall, and ducked into a secret room.
The secret room was naturally empty. It was much lower than the other stone rooms, and its area was small, only two meters square.
The most conspicuous thing is the iron rod in the middle that supports the huge stone above. He now remembers clearly that this rod was erected by the Iron-faced Buddha himself more than a hundred years ago when he placed the mechanism on it. Although it was severely corroded,
But it still ensures the integrity of the entire tomb.
Mei Qian held the iron rod and pulled it out with a little force. He heard a faint "click" sound in his ears, and suddenly felt a few tiny gravels falling on his head.
He knew that the mechanism had been reactivated, so he threw the stick away, turned around and left the secret room, and ran towards the way he came from as fast as possible, not even paying attention to the sound of footsteps.
What followed was a flurry of finishing work, putting shoes, covers, gloves and other items into the warehouse, and then he plunged into the water again...
Different from when he came here, Mei Qian no longer concealed himself when he swam back. It was time to take a breath and show his head. Fortunately, he held his breath for a long time. Even if there were tourists on the lake who saw him, most of them thought they were dazzled or were too far away.
I thought it was a big fish that appeared.
Soon he reappeared under the tree where he had gone into the water before, wiped his body clean, put on his clothes neatly, and had nothing to do with the people who went into the water to swim.
When leaving the warning sign, he deliberately stayed on the shore and carefully observed the lake surface. He saw large ripples rising on it, and a whirlpool appeared on the opposite side. After a few exclamations, it disappeared again in an instant.
Mei Qian let out a long sigh of relief and decisively turned around and left.
Because I had calculated in my mind that when the quicksand trap caused the entire ancient tomb to collapse, it would absorb some of the lake water. However, the overall scale of the ancient tomb was insignificant compared to the area of a lake.
He determined that the lake water might drop a little and there would be no life threat to tourists.
Now that everything is under control, I feel completely relieved.
But it was miserable in another place. Just when Mei Qian walked to the fenced construction site, he suddenly heard a series of loud "rumbling" sounds, and his feet began to shake violently like an earthquake.
He tried hard to steady himself, and amid a series of piercing car alarms and barking dogs, he saw with his own eyes that the three-story building in front of him collapsed completely, and the smoke and dust raised covered the sky and the sun...
