In the deep and dark cave, the light flickered eerily with the slight swing of the two men's arms.
It flickers on and off, and to outsiders, it is clear that there is a pair of invisible hands manipulating it wantonly.
The light reflected on Li Jinyong's face. His complexion was livid, and his frown was like two deep ravines. His eyes that occasionally looked at Lin Yian were full of vigilance and vigilance, as if he was guarding against some unknown danger.
Lin Yian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked impatiently: "Brother Li, please speak quickly!"
Li Jinyong did not answer immediately, but asked with a strange expression, "Shopkeeper Lin, do you really want to hear it?"
Lin Yian looked confused. His eyes widened with confusion on his face, and he even said angrily: "Of course I want to hear it! Otherwise, why would I ask?"
Li Jinyong slowly took a step back, his eyes as sharp as a falcon. He stared at Lin Yian closely and said word by word, ""The old watchman on the mural looks very similar to you, shopkeeper Lin, and he can't even tell the difference anymore.
Speaking of resemblance, it’s basically carved out of the same mold!”
Speaking of this, Li Jinyong's voice was a little less steady than before. If you listen carefully, it also had a trembling tone like Lin Yian's!
It was obvious that he would feel frightened after encountering something evil.
Lin Yian was stunned when he heard this, then slapped his thigh fiercely, and couldn't help cursing: "It's really evil! Brother Li, do you know what I saw?"
Li Jinyong frowned and said thoughtfully: "The way shopkeeper Lin looked at Li just now was full of alertness, which means that you should have seen something related to me after entering the thief's cave, and this matter was unexpected.
It's unexpected! Otherwise, you would never be so wary of Li suddenly.
"Based on my experience, could it be that everyone sees something different in this mural?
"For example, what I see is that this old watchman looks very similar to you, Shopkeeper Lin, but what you see is that he looks similar to me?"
Lin Yian slapped his thigh again and said with an excited smile: "Yes, yes, that's it! The appearance of the old watchman on the mural in my eyes is the same as that of Brother Li. I thought you were being raped."
It’s possessed by a demon!”
After the mystery was revealed, the tense atmosphere between the two people instantly dissipated.
At this time, Li Jinyong looked around and asked Lin Yian in a slightly hoarse voice: "Shopkeeper Lin, do you think this location is really a burglary hole?"
Lin Yian took a deep breath and asked with some uncertainty: "Brother Li, what do you mean?"
Li Jinyong took out a bottle of mineral water from his backpack, unscrewed the cap and took a sip, then continued: "I just walked about twenty steps deeper, and when I got there, the ground was extremely clean, with no trace of soil at all.
Instead, there were some small animal feces.
"This is enough to show that this should be a passage, and it is a passage where air can circulate!
"Li doesn't know the specific purpose, but it is definitely not dug by local masters for the purpose of robbing tombs."
Lin Yian nodded repeatedly in agreement, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, and said, "It makes sense, but how should we explain these soils?"
Li Jinyong squatted down, grabbed a handful of dirt on the ground, put it in front of his nose, smelled it, and then scattered it, "This soil is just ordinary soil, not mixed with anything.
"If Mr. Li guessed correctly, the soil should have been filled in by the person who built this passage! The purpose is also very simple, that is, he does not want others to know the existence of this passage.
"I just don't know what kind of secret is hidden behind this."
Lin Yian turned his attention to the mural on the wall and asked: "By the way, Brother Li, I see you just looked at the words on this mural and you don't know what it said?"
Li Jinyong shook his head, his face full of helplessness, and sighed: "I have little knowledge, and I can only see about twenty of the more than one hundred ancient seal characters. It probably means that the tomb owner hired a Feng Shui master to build this tomb.
Because it was too deep, we painted such a mural near the exit of the passage.”
Lin Yian was stunned when he heard this, with a look of astonishment on his face, "Wait a minute, how does this look like the legendary 'Road to Immortality'!"
Li Jinyong looked confused: "Shopkeeper Lin, what do you mean?"
Lin Yian took a deep breath and explained: "The ancients paid attention to burials, but generally they were buried shallowly. If the tomb is dug too deep, it will lead to the Hell of Hell.
"The depth of this maritime merchant tomb reaches an astonishing 16 meters, which is no ordinary depth. Even the tombs of princes rarely have such deep burials.
"As for why it is buried so deep, no one knows what the tomb owner and the Feng Shui master think, but there must be a reason!
"If it is buried deeply, people will have fear of hell, Yama.
"When encountering this kind of situation, it is often necessary to build a path to immortality leading to the ground.
"Combined with the weird mural just now and the old watchman who led the way, yes, this should be it.
"As for why the young protector chose this 'road to immortality' to go to the tomb gate, I can only ask him in person."
As soon as Lin Yian finished speaking, the entire Thief Cave fell into a dead silence.
The breathing sounds of the two people were particularly clear in the silence.
After listening to Lin Yian's explanation, Li Jinyong's doubts not only did not diminish, but in fact became more intense.
He looked into the depths of the deep passage and felt an invisible but unknown pressure rushing towards him.
How many unknown secrets does this ghost place hide?
It seems like an ordinary mural, but why do they see different things?
Is it the work of some mysterious force, or is it my own psychological suggestion?
Lin Yian was also deep in thought at this moment. He kept recalling all the anecdotes about tomb robberies he had heard in his mind, trying to find clues that fit the scene before him.
However, my thoughts are like a mess, and the more I sort them out, the more chaotic they become!
The two of them stood in this gloomy robbery cave, and the darkness around them seemed to swallow them up at any time.
"Hmph, don't think about it if you don't understand. It's getting late. Brother Li, it's better to meet the young protector as soon as possible!" Lin Yian said, adjusting the brightness of the bright flashlight in his hand to the maximum, and turned to look at Li Jinyong.
said.
Li Jinyong nodded slightly and responded: "Okay!"
The two of them took a deep look at the mysterious and strange murals on the wall, and then took heavy steps and began to walk slowly towards the depths of the Robbery Cave.
Whether it was accidental or intentional, the distance between the two people widened, and they both moved forward slowly and closely against the wall.
It is obvious that even after the exchange just now, the two of them are still wary of each other and cannot completely trust each other!
I don’t know how long they walked, but Li Jinyong was the first to break the oppressive silence. With a slight cough, his voice rang out in the narrow robbery cave, "Shopkeeper Lin, you Shanshan Taibao belong to Nan in the tomb robbing business.
