A conversation with Ashue solved most of the mystery in my mind. After resting for a while, we decided to leave.
Just as I was about to leave, I discovered something I had never noticed before. At a glance, I saw something exposed on the arm of the bloody-clothed female corpse lying on the ground.
There is a very familiar feeling.
I walked over slowly and carefully raised the arm of the female corpse. I immediately saw that the female corpse was wearing a small copper ring on its arm. The copper ring was the same one that the fat man and the monkey picked up in the illusion.
To confirm, I took off the copper ring, and the result was exactly the same as what I saw in the illusion. There was a string of codes on the inner ring of the copper ring, starting with the English letter b, followed by the three numbers 075. Isn't this what the monkey took out?
That copper ring?
At this time, Ashue and Crosseyes also came over. Crosseyes, who had rarely spoken, asked, "Little Prince, what are you looking for?"
I took a deep breath and handed the copper ring over: "Look at this, there is something on the inner ring."
The two of them were also surprised by the string of codes on the copper ring. After a while, Ashue said softly: "Don't look at it, this woman is just like us, she is a person of our era."
"Oh? How can you be sure of this? Just from this copper ring?"
Axue squatted down, groped for a while on the female corpse's ears, took off a gold earring, and said: "I saw this style in a branch of Lao Fengxiang. If someone hadn't been bored and helped her put it on, then
She is definitely a modern person."
This result surprised me. Then I thought about the old-fashioned flashlight. Did another group of people really come in here? Who are they? Why did they die here? Why did they put on these clothes? When did they come in?
of?
Axue and I discussed it for a while, but we didn't come up with any results. The only certainty is that this woman entered the tomb earlier than us. Judging from the pattern on her copper ring, she should belong to a certain force.
As for their identity and purpose, we don’t know what they encountered or found here and whether they have left.
This was just a small interlude. I packed up my things and prepared to leave. I thought we had to climb back to the cave above, but at this moment, Ashue slowly walked towards a corner of the dormitory.
There is a lamp slave standing at the corner. I had seen a child squatting somewhere in the bedroom above and in the illusion. I didn't know what A Xue was going to do.
I stared curiously. Asue walked up to the lamp slave, stretched out his hand and groped on it for a while. Soon, a gap slowly opened in the wall next to us.
The gap is not big, only about one meter. What surprised me is that I couldn't see any traces on the wall before. It was completely natural. Moreover, there was no sound when the door opened. If you didn't look at it,
It's impossible to find it at all. No wonder I couldn't find the open secret door in that secret room last time.
Cross-eyed walked in front, and I followed Ah Xue. Just when we reached the secret door, Ah Xue suddenly stopped. When I walked to her side, I felt my hand move and something was stuffed in.
I looked at her, but she walked into the secret room expressionlessly as if nothing had happened.
I took the opportunity to look at it and found that what was pushed over was a ball of paper. When I opened it, there were a few words written on it: "There are ghosts around me." The handwriting was very sloppy, and it was obviously written in a hurry.
My heart skipped a beat, this topic was mentioned again, but what does it mean? Where is the ghost? What is it? Could it be that it has always been hidden among us?
I walked into the secret room. As soon as my front feet came in, the wall behind it closed automatically. After a rough look, this secret room was about the same size as the ones I had been to before, but it was even more empty inside. There was only one corner,
Also standing is a lamp slave.
Axue walked over and groped for a while, and the wall in front of us opened again. This time, what appeared in front of us was no longer the entrance to the secret room, but a staircase that snaked upwards.
My eyes widened. I didn't expect there to be such a ladder here, so perfectly hidden. But how did Axue know there would be a ladder here? I was very confused.
We climbed up the ladder. The ladder was made of rectangular stones and was two meters wide. I think the coffin below was transported from here.
After walking for a while, we arrived at the end. This was another secret room. After passing two doors, what appeared in front of me was a sleeping hall, which was exactly the same as the one below. A gold coffin with copper horns, a hanging female corpse in blood clothes, everything
It was the same as when I left. It turns out that what A Xue said was true. This place is really an eight-formation tomb.
After confirming all the guesses, I felt relaxed. When everything was explained, people would not be so afraid. This is also the fear that people have when facing unknown things. When the unknown becomes
Known, the situation is completely different.
Axue and Doujiyan walked straight to the coffin. The lid of the sarcophagus was opened a crack, which was caused by the fat man, but the copper-horned gold coffin inside was still tightly closed. From the looks of them, they wanted to open it.
Coffin.
I have seen their magic repeatedly just now, and now that they are about to open the box, there is not much resistance. No, it should be that I have great confidence in them, which dilutes the fear and nervousness in my heart.
The sarcophagus and the lid of the copper-horned golden coffin were quickly opened, and nothing unexpected happened. I went over to take a look, and there was a skeleton lying inside the golden coffin, wearing gorgeous clothes outside, and lying beside him.
Several of the funerary objects were all exquisite artifacts. If I hadn’t known about it earlier, I would have probably mistaken this skeleton for that of the owner of the tomb!
My eyes stayed on those exquisite jade articles. Seeing that I was very happy, I subconsciously stretched out my hand to fish it out for a look, but as soon as I stretched out my hand, I was hit by A Xue.
"Are you going to die?" Axue gave me a blank look, then took out a small white bag from his package, opened it and saw that it contained some silver powder.
What is this? I was confused and watched as she gently pinched a small amount of powder and sprinkled it on the bones and artifacts in the coffin. Soon, the silver powder turned into black.
"This is silver powder. Now that it has turned black, it means that the things inside are poisonous. If I hadn't stopped you just now, you might have been poisoned by now. There is no solution here."
I grinned stiffly, swallowed my saliva and smiled at her. I cursed in my heart that I was so reckless. The nature of this businessman is really killing people. When I see a good thing, I want to take it and play with it. Fortunately, I got lucky this time.
As Xue reminded me, otherwise there would be big trouble. It seems that no matter what you do in the future, you have to be careful.
At this time, both Axue and Crosseye opened their packages, each of them took out a pair of gloves and put them on, and then picked out the bones and ghost artifacts in the coffin.
The strange thing is that neither of them seems to care much about those things. They just throw them on the ground and ignore them. Instead, they walk around the coffin, groping for something inside with their hands.
I just mentioned that the nature of businessmen can kill people, but I quickly forgot about it. I focused all my energy on those ghost weapons, and kept thinking in my head, how can I take all these things away safely?
Just when I was stunned, there was a "click" sound in the coffin. I turned around and saw that both Axue and Crosseyes retracted their hands with long expressions.
"Okay, now we can go down."
I went over to take a look and was surprised to find that the floor of the coffin had been opened, revealing a dark hole. Below was a staircase, extending steeply downward.
"Is there an exit here?" I felt a sense of surprise in my heart. This was something I had never thought of. I admired the two of them even more. They could even find such a secret passage, so why worry?
can not go out.
Axue smiled, and I found that since I saw her again, she became very smiley. I don’t know why. “You don’t have to be surprised. In such a big tomb, the way out must be hidden in a very secret place.
, it’s also because you are not experienced enough, if I want to be that blind man Chen, I will definitely be able to find him.”
She also mentioned Blind Man Chen. I don’t know whether she did it intentionally or not. I found that she seemed to be very wary of Blind Man Chen. It’s also because Blind Man Chen disappeared so quickly. He disappeared from the moment he entered the mausoleum.
Now I don't see anyone, even I am a little suspicious, let alone someone else.
"You should be able to go out from here!" I asked subconsciously, thinking about the sunshine and blue sky outside, the delicious food and old wine. If I go out, I must have a good meal and drink.
But what I didn't expect was that Ashue sneered and said in a serious tone: "Get out? This kind of tomb is a dead end. You can't go in and out, you can only go to the dark side."
I was stunned. This was definitely a very shocking sentence. Can you get in or get out? How is that possible?
"Don't be surprised. Not all tombs in history are like this. Who wants to be disturbed by others?"
This is true, tomb robbing is a struggle of wisdom, an offensive and defensive game between the living and the dead. The living want to steal the wealth in the tomb, while the dead want to protect their own peace. In this life-and-death contest
There is rarely a draw until one side loses. A dead person loses peace if he fails, and a living person often loses his life if he fails.
But even though I said this, I was still very unwilling to do so. I didn't want to disturb the master's peace, I just wanted to get out.
"I finally understand why the fat man said that." I sighed and said depressedly.
"Oh? What did the fat man say?" Ashue looked at me curiously.
"Lao Niu, Lao Niu, oh no, Fatty said that if you want to get out of here, you have to fight to the end."
"Haha, although this doesn't sound good, it's pertinent. We can only follow this path all the way to the end. Life or death depends on fate. Who told us to do this?"
"It's you, not me." I muttered depressedly, turned around and glanced at the underworld weapons reluctantly, gritted my teeth, and followed the two of them down the secret passage.
