Qingyan quickly grabbed the groove where the oil lamp was placed on the upper right side and pressed it against the stone wall, fearing that they would knock her down.
The view here is much better than before, and you can clearly see Chou Chou's movements.
Ignoring the chaotic footsteps below, she hurriedly sent a message to Chou Chou: "Chou Chou, take him into your space. Aren't you the one who has the final say?"
Chou Chou was clasping one of his paws at the gray mist, and the other was lifting it upwards, as if it was dragging the top of a stone.
After listening to Qingyan's words, she took the gray mist into the space without saying a word, but the shaking in the tomb did not stop and continued.
Then a Chou Chou voice sounded in Qingyan’s mind, “You should get out quickly, the self-destruct mechanism here must have been triggered and it can’t be stopped.
I will go directly to the outside through the space in a moment. I can support this tomb now and prevent it from collapsing. I will leave when you are all safe. "
After hearing this, Qingyan didn't dare to stay any longer and said to Chou Chou: "You have to pay attention to your safety. If it's not possible, just go into the space and don't worry about me!"
Chou Chou: "I know what's going on, let's go!"
Qingyan stopped talking nonsense, followed the villagers, and ran out with the flow of people.
There was still a tremor from the tomb from time to time. Although it was not strong, some gravel powder also fell, and people's footsteps became faster.
As Qingyan ran outside, she was still thinking to herself. Sure enough, human potential is unlimited. At this time, everyone knew that meaningless crowding and chaos would only make their situation more dangerous and they would not be able to get out.
Moreover, I have to say that Qinian Village is still very united.
Even if he had just woken up, he might not have figured out what was going on, and the clan leaders and elders were gone, but they could arrange their positions in an orderly manner. The young people ran ahead holding the children, and the middle-aged people followed behind, holding the elderly or women. , so that everyone can keep up with the speed.
Although no one was directing, there was no fighting for the road, and no stampede occurred.
The only disadvantage is that they are not familiar with the bottom of the tomb, and there is no light in front of them. They have to fumble forward, so they can't go fast.
Qingyan couldn't help shouting: "Let me go to the front! I know the road and I have the lighting tools!"
After hearing this, everyone paused for a moment. What Qingyan didn't expect was that there was no questioning voice. The people behind directly pulled her and pushed her forward.
Qingyan couldn't help but blink. No one noticed that she was not from the village. Did they suspect that she just wanted to get out quickly?
By the time she finished thinking, the person had already arrived in front.
Not caring so much anymore, she took out the small spiritual stone, and the tomb passage suddenly lit up.
He said to the person next to him: "Follow me! Don't touch those stone doors, there are other passages inside."
Although they pushed her forward before, people's footsteps did not stop and they continued to move forward.
Now with her leading the way and the guidance of the light, everyone's speed has obviously improved a lot on the road ahead.
To be honest, this tomb passage is actually not very long, only two to three hundred meters at most. It is a bit winding, so the speed cannot be increased.
The tomb passage is not that narrow, and three or four people can be squeezed side by side, probably for the convenience of carrying sacrifices inside.
They soon reached the exit of the tomb passage, but a new accident happened. Before they turned the last corner, they heard a clicking sound.
Quickly turning the corner, I saw that the dragon-breaking stone at the door was actually sinking!
Qingyan's pupils shrank, "No! The cemetery is going to be sealed!"
Maybe it was for the convenience of the priests, the door of the tomb was always open before, but now something happened inside, and the door of the tomb was actually lowered.
Now there is less than two feet of distance left below, and except for very small children, there is no way for adults to climb out from this distance!
Qingyan didn't care much and ran forward, stretched out her hand and started to lift the stone.
Although she was strong and could lift hundreds of kilograms, she was completely useless against the Dragon-Breaking Stone. The Dragon-Breaking Stone not only weighed a few hundred kilograms, but was heavier than a thousand gold!
Her lifting could only delay the downward movement, but there was no way to lift it up.
He shouted to the helpless people behind him: "Quick! Send the children out first!"
The people holding the child in front heard this and quickly brought the child over. Several people who were strong in self-study also came over to help support Shimen.
He pushed the child in his hand out from underneath, and the child started crying. Fortunately, the children did not make any trouble, and crawled out obediently while crying.
Qingyan shouted to the children: "Don't stand outside when you go out! Get out of here and run out into the woods!"
The clan leaders and elders are all dead. The villagers may not know where this place is or what it looks like outside, but Qingyan knows.
She thought that if anything happened, it would be safe here at the altar, and the woods should be safe, so she let the children run into the woods.
I used my spiritual consciousness to see that those children really ran into the woods after going out, and then I sent a message to Chou Chou: "The dragon-breaking stone at the tomb gate has fallen, and we may not be able to get out."
The shock was getting bigger now, and she was afraid that Chou Chou wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Almost immediately, Chou Chou came back, "Look inside, there should be a mechanism to open the door. Generally, the craftsmen who repair the tomb will leave a way out for themselves. It is impossible for the tomb passage to be completely sealed."
Once the Dragon Breaking Stone falls, it cannot be opened from the outside. This is to prevent people from outside from coming in again. Of course, it also prevents the people inside from getting out. However, nothing is absolute. Those craftsmen are afraid of being killed and silenced, so they will mostly give it to themselves. Leave a way out.
Qingyan struggled to free up a hand, raised the spirit stone and said to the people behind her: "Everyone, look at the walls to see if there are any mechanisms or anything like that!"
After hearing this, everyone quickly looked for the light, but there was nothing on the wall. There was nothing strange at all, and there was no trace of any mechanism at all.
Qingyan continued: "See if there are any patterns or carvings on the wall, and try to touch them."
A man's voice said: "There are no patterns or carvings on the walls."
The voice sounded familiar to Qingyan, so she turned around and saw that it was Yin Keqin.
Yin Keqin and his mother had recognized her before. Although it was an illusion before, it seemed to them that they had real contact with her, and their memories had not been erased.
Qingyan nodded towards him, looked at it with her spiritual consciousness, and then said: "Look at the top and the feet as well."
Everyone quickly started to move again. The tall ones with good eyesight looked up and the short ones looked down.
Fortunately, the top of the tomb passage is not very high, that is, it is only as high as one person. According to the calculation of later generations, the height is less than two meters.
It is harder to find them on the ground, because the shadows of everyone are not so clear even if there is light.
However, there is always strength in numbers, and soon I heard a woman say: "There is an iron ring here!"
Qingyan told them not to move and said to Chou Chou: "Chou Chou, are you okay over there?"
After receiving an affirmative answer, he added: "Do you have the energy to use your spiritual consciousness to see if there are any fatal mechanisms in this tomb passage? Such as flying arrows and rolling stones."
Chou Chou quickly replied: "There is no mechanism to hurt people here. As long as the Dragon Broken Stone comes down and there is no oxygen inside, people will naturally not survive."
Qingyan actually used her spiritual sense to detect it, but after all, she had just acquired it, and she was afraid that if she was not proficient in using it and made a mistake, it would cost many people's lives.
Then she probed behind the iron ring and found that behind the stone wall was a huge gear mechanism. The iron ring was connected to a thick iron chain. The iron ring should be pulled outward.
Qingyan said to them: "Try to pull that iron ring out."
The woman who found the iron ring reached out her hand immediately and pulled hard, but the iron ring did not move at all.
The man next to him saw this and quickly stepped forward to help. He tried his best not to pull the iron ring at all.
Qingyan looked at it with her consciousness. It had been too long and it had become rusty. She had no choice but to let go of her hand holding the Broken Dragon Stone and squeeze past quickly.
Only about a foot of the Broken Dragon Stone had been lowered. Qingyan felt that the air was a little thin when she stood up. It seemed that not only the entrance to the tomb, but also other vents were sealed.
Not daring to waste any more time, she directly put the spirit stone into the hands of Yin Keqin who was following her, and asked him to hold it up to illuminate herself, while placing both hands on the iron ring.
She didn't dare to use all her strength for fear of breaking the iron ring. After all, she still knew her own strength.
Instead, he used a clever force to shake the hoop, move it open, and then slowly pull it out.
The iron ring was slowly pulled out one section, two sections, three sections. It was not until the fifth section of the wrist-thick iron chain was stretched out that the Dragon Broken Stone stopped falling.
But this won't work. Just stopping the descent won't work. They can't get out. They have to raise it up.
Qingyan took a deep breath and continued to pull the chain out. She wondered if it was coming to an end, and the sound was much harsher than before. It was the sound of the chain rubbing.
Then there was a clicking sound at the tomb door. Everyone looked over and saw that the Broken Dragon Stone began to rise, but at a very slow speed.
Qingyan's forehead was sweating. She didn't know if Chou Chou could withstand it. The speed was too slow. It would take time for so many people to get out.
I couldn't help but try to pull it again until another section of iron chain was pulled out. The speed of the Dragon Breaking Stone was obviously faster.
I wanted to pull it out further, but the iron chain was already motionless. I used my spiritual consciousness to probe inside and made sure that the iron chain had been pulled all the way.
It seems like this is the only way to go.
When people are waiting, time seems to pass very slowly. In fact, only two or three minutes have passed after so long.
When the Broken Dragon Stone reached two feet, everyone began to arrange for the thinner people to climb out without having to go out together. If the inside collapsed, at least one of them would survive.
Yin Keqin returned the spirit stone to Qingyan. He grabbed the chain with his hand and said to her: "Miss Hengyue, please get out quickly. You are thin and can get out directly."
Qingyan shook her head: "Let them go out first. I can wait a little longer. You don't have to hold it. The mechanism inside is stuck and will not retract."
Yin Keqin tentatively let go, and sure enough, the chain did not retract, so he let go. However, his eyes did not leave the chain, so he could catch the change as soon as possible.
Soon, all the thinner people had gotten out, leaving only some stronger ones and old people who were clumsy in their movements.
At this time, the Broken Dragon Stone had already risen to three feet high. Qingyan said: "This height should be about the same. Let's all go out."
At this time, they were all shaken inside and were a little unsteady. They all knew that time was urgent. The old people insisted on letting the young adults go out first. The young adults just pushed the old people out without saying anything.
The old people had no choice but to wipe away their tears while trying to crawl out.
Then Qingyan was also pushed out by Yin Keqin. When Qingyan arrived outside, she did not leave immediately. She turned around and looked at the place where the big bear had been. When she saw it was gone, she took a look with her spiritual consciousness. Fortunately, it was in the woods. .
After everyone got out of the tomb door, she sent a message to Chou Chou, and quickly ran towards the woods with a few others.
Maybe Chou Chou had been watching them with his spiritual consciousness. After they all entered the woods, the altar outside began to shake violently, and cracks appeared on the highest stone wall.
Although they could feel the vibration, it did not spread to the woods, so they stood in the woods and watched without leaving.
Big Bear may have sensed Qingyan and pulled the carriage over.
The first few children who came out also gathered around and looked at the carriage curiously.
Their parents were afraid that they would be kicked by the horse if they were naughty, so they quickly came over and held their little hands.
Everyone also came over to thank Qingyan. Except for Yin Keqin and her son, no one else knew her, but that didn't stop them from being grateful to her.
If it weren't for the other party, they might not be able to get out.
Before Qingyan could say anything, there was a loud rumbling sound from behind!
Everyone looked over and saw that the platform, which was originally four or five meters above the ground, was sinking into the ground!
Qingyan quickly sent a message to Chou Chou: "Chou Chou! Where are you? Have you come out?"
Then I heard Chou Chou's voice, "I've come out, I'm in the space now, don't worry."
Qingyan's nervous mood suddenly relaxed, and she felt a little sad when she looked at the altar that was still sinking.
“This is a tomb that is over 2,000 years old, and it is such a pity that it was destroyed like this.
By the way, if the tomb collapses, what will happen to the treasure inside? The blackbird said before that he would tell me the location of the treasure, but before he could tell me, you put him in a small space. Did he tell you? "
Chou Chou said with a smile: "Don't worry, I asked before absorbing the resentment in its inner alchemy. The treasure is not here. This is the tomb that Yin Jin built for himself. It can also be said to be a place of sleep. Not a place to bury treasure.
Some funerary objects came out of it, which is where the formation's eye was. I have put away those funerary objects, and the formation has also been broken.
The real treasure is on the mountain behind Qinian Village. It is said that Yin Jin used magic to hollow out the belly of the mountain, and all the treasures he brought out were buried inside. "
