Seeing that they were almost done digging holes, Xu Miaofeng and I walked over slowly. Shouhou and Pang Qiu flew their shovels up and down, and before long, they had dug a bottomless hole.
The ghost Taoist was still very proud at this time and said contemptuously: "If there is no tomb door later, how will you die?"
I ignored him and said to Xu Miaofeng: "I heard they all call you a thief, why?"
Xu Miaofeng didn't seem to care at all and said with a smile: "Because I am a thief."
"Haha, that's true." I nodded with a half-smile.
At this moment, an exclamation suddenly came from below, "There is a door, there is a door!"
At this time, the Ghost Taoist was completely stunned, "How is that possible?"
I smiled slightly and said: "There are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people. You can't be too confident or too absolute in everything."
Xu Miaofeng admired me even more now, "Li Rui, I'm really impressed by you."
"Let's go, let's take a good look at what this undersea tomb looks like."
With that said, we picked up the rope on the ground and went to the bottom of the cave.
You readers may want to ask, I have never studied the "Fuxi Thirty-six Hexagrams of Searching for the Dragon", so how could I find the undersea tomb by relying on the Najia Divination Technique? Don't worry, listen to my explanation.
In fact, I didn't find the entrance to the undersea tomb by using the Najia Zhen method at all, but I found it by Xiling's method of observing mud marks and distinguishing the color of grass after arriving here. Because it can be seen from Lao Qi's photo that the door of the undersea tomb is indeed in the sea, but whether it is an entrance is unknown. If we judge that half of the undersea tomb is in the sea and half on land, then there is a high probability that it should be an exit. , because the entrance is built in the water, it is easy for seawater to pour in. So I inferred from this that the entrance to the undersea tomb should be on land.
But another problem is, how to find this entrance? Although I have learned a little bit about Xiling from Song Guiyan, it is impossible to directly lock the entrance with these. Fortunately, God has given me another big help - when I was at the headquarters, I had seen the map of Cape Storm and had a general understanding of its area. After combining it with the regulations of the previous ancient tombs, I then unloaded it. The unique skill of the ridge is that it is not difficult to determine its general direction and size, so I said fifty steps to the southeast, and the basis actually comes from here.
As for the depth, I relied on the geographical environment data of Snake Island that I found when I was doing the guide.
By the time we got to the bottom, Skinny Monkey had already used explosives to blow open the tomb door. This violent method is consistent with his status as a thief.
After walking through the long corridor, a huge bronze tripod appeared in front.
Everyone was startled.
The thin monkey frowned and murmured: "What's going on?"
Everyone looked intently into the giant cauldron and saw numerous bones piled inside the giant cauldron. The white bones are very thick and look like they are about a foot tall. The central part of the giant cauldron is sunken downwards, and there are faint traces of digging.
My heart moved and I thought: "Could it be that there is another mechanism at the bottom of this giant cauldron?"
Before I had time to react, a black figure jumped under the giant cauldron.
It was the man in black. After he stood still, he put the two iron chains on his shoulders with both hands, then lowered himself and squatted in the depression in the center of the giant cauldron. His hands fell down and picked up the bones in the depression one by one. In a short time, the bottom of the giant cauldron was revealed.
My eyes lit up and I saw an iron ring appearing at the bottom of the giant cauldron. The iron ring was already covered with green rust, showing that it was old and had not been used for a long time. However, at this time, there were signs that someone had pulled the iron ring.
"Lu Liang, what's down there?" Thin Monkey asked.
"I don't know yet." Lu Liang shook his head, slowly stretched out his hand, touched the iron ring, and then lifted it up.
There was a square iron plate attached to the bottom of the iron ring. When he pulled it, the iron plate immediately rose up, revealing a square hole underneath.
The Ghost Taoist let out a haha and said in wonder: "I didn't expect there is a hole underneath."
Only then did I realize that this undersea tomb was another masterpiece of Meng Xingjiu occupying the magpie's nest.
"Wan Dingyou, what do you think?" At this time, Shouhou said to the ghost Taoist.
Hearing this name, I couldn't help but feel happy, "Taiwan Balm? What the hell is this name?"
Ghost Taoist Wan Dingyou said: "When I looked at the giant cauldron just now, I found that the four legs of the giant cauldron were only half a foot away from the ground. I didn't expect that there was a mechanism underneath the giant cauldron. There must be a hole inside the giant cauldron. The hole is connected to the hole under the giant cauldron. If you don't move the giant cauldron, you can't find the mechanism under the giant cauldron. The lid of the giant cauldron is so heavy. If it weren't for the strength of these six people, the lid of the giant cauldron would not be able to be found. If you open it, you won’t be able to discover the secrets inside this giant cauldron.”
Lu Liang couldn't hold himself back at first and pulled an iron chain on his shoulder. The iron chain then bounced up and fell towards the hole in the middle of the giant cauldron.
The chain was so long that there was no sound of any contact when it fell.
I frowned slightly and thought to myself: "It seems that the hole is actually very deep."
Lu Liang took the iron chain back again, then passed one end of the iron chain through the iron ring of the iron plate, tied it tightly, and then threw the other end under the hole with a whoosh.
Lu Liang clapped his hands and said in a deep voice: "Let's go down the chain." After that, he was about to rush in.
Shouhou and others had also jumped into the giant cauldron at this time. Seeing that Lu Liang was about to jump down, Shouhou hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him and said: "Hold on, first throw down a fire stick to explore the way and take a look at the cave. Is there any corpse air under the hole, so as not to cause harm to people?"
Lu Liang ignored him or said anything. He took a step forward, grabbed the iron chain, followed the hole, and jumped down.
Thin Monkey was asking for trouble this time, and said sarcastically: "Let's go down with him."
Ghost Taoist Wan Dingyou nodded, followed the thin monkey, came to the hole, grabbed the iron chain with both hands, and jumped into the hole.
After a while, only Pang Qiu, Xu Miaofeng and me were left in the giant cauldron.
Pang Qiu frowned and said, "Mrs. Thief, what should we do now?" As he said that, he looked outside the giant cauldron. It seemed that Pang Qiu had already thought of the thirty-six strategies as the best one.
Xu Miaofeng raised her eyebrows and cursed angrily: "Are you stupid? You have come, how can you still retreat? Besides, what will you do after you go back?"
Pang Qiu was reminded by Xu Miaofeng's words, and sweat suddenly broke out on his back. He murmured in his mouth: "I didn't expect this." Then he grinned and said with a dry smile: "The thief is still wise."
Xu Miaofeng snorted and said, "We will just follow Li Rui. There should be no danger."
I smiled and said, "Thank you for trusting me so much, but I am not completely sure that I can protect you."
Pang Qiu said: "No, no, no, I have seen what you are capable of. I am convinced, completely convinced, and we will follow you."
Xu Miaofeng also nodded repeatedly.
"In that case, then follow me closely." With that said, I grabbed the iron chain and jumped into the hole.
We slid down until the chain ended and the cave came to an end.
When we let go, we saw that we were in a square tomb. The tomb is more than ten feet in diameter. There is a small stone door on the south side, which is tightly closed.
The three of them, Lu Liang and Shouhou, were standing a few feet in front of the small stone door, staring nervously at the stone door.
"That stone door is ordinary and has nothing special about it. Why do these people feel like they are facing a powerful enemy?" Xu Miaofeng and Pang Qiu were both startled.
We slowly walked behind Shouhou and others. Lu Liang was seen standing in front of the stone door, looking at it for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Everyone move back to both sides and stick to the stone wall."
Seeing his nervous expression and solemn face, everyone knew that there must be something strange above this stone door. Immediately following Lu Liang's instructions, he retreated to the stone walls on the east and west sides.
Lu Liang looked at everyone, then frowned, pointed to Pang Qiu and said, "Go further in."
It turned out that Pang Qiu retreated to the east stone wall, still a few feet away from the stone wall. He originally thought that this was safe enough, but Lu Liang still yelled at him.
Pang Qiu immediately retreated to the stone wall obediently and pressed his body tightly against the stone wall, motionless. Lu Liang then walked to the side of the stone gate. Then he shook the chain in his hand with his left hand.
The iron chain was shaken straight, and then Lu Liang stabbed the stone door hard with the iron chain in his left hand. Following Lu Liang, he rushed to the west stone wall and jumped over. Then he pressed his body tightly against the stone wall.
As soon as the iron chain touched the stone door, several rattling sounds were heard from the stone door. Then a burst of crossbow arrows as dense as a storm flew out from the stone door. After listening to Dangdang Dangdang for a while, the stone wall on the north was already full of crossbow.
Shouhou and the others were all shocked. After the noise passed, everyone looked at the stone door and saw that there were holes all over the stone door.
It seems that those stormy crossbow arrows were shot from the holes in these stone doors.
Everyone was shocked for a long time before they came back to their senses.
Wan Dingyou swallowed and said, "If Lu Liang hadn't seen the opportunity earlier, I'm afraid we would all be lying dead in this tomb at this moment."
I frowned and thought to myself: "Who is this Lu Liang? Seeing as he is so familiar with these institutions, he is definitely not comparable to ordinary civilian thieves."
"Hey, what kind of road is this Luliang?" I turned around and asked Xu Miaofeng.
"I can't tell you about him. He doesn't talk to anyone. He is said to be Shouhou's confidant."
At this time, Thin Monkey's face was full of admiration and he said: "Lu Liang, does this door have any origin?"
After Lu Liang saw the burst of crossbow arrows passing like a rain, he slowly stood up and said to everyone: "This door is called the Soul-Destroying Gate. There is also another name called the Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart Gate. There are chiseled holes on the door. hole, and then a powerful short crossbow is hidden in the hole. Once triggered, the short crossbow will shoot out. If someone is in front of this stone gate at this time, it will be like the name of this stone gate, thousands of arrows will pierce the heart and die. "
Everyone was horrified and moved.
Pang Qiu stammered: "So, so powerful?"
