He Siniang was speechless for a moment when she was asked, but Luo Laoqi said: "After all, don't we still have to find the agency? The sarcophagus on this balcony is the most suspicious. Let the Sa family search here first."
Luo Laoqi plowed all over the coffin with his mace. The sound of the hammer was very real to the touch, and it didn't look like there was a hidden mechanism. Then he turned his attention to the bottom of the coffin, holding on to the edge of the coffin to estimate. After taking the weight off, he began to move the sarcophagus vigorously.
Upon seeing this, the grimace Taoist priest hurriedly walked over to help, and the two of them pushed the sarcophagus away without too much difficulty.
"Hey, there is nothing under the sarcophagus." He Siniang looked at the rock table and sighed slightly.
The grim-faced Taoist priest straightened up, patted the dirt on his hands and said, "This is really a big place. If the path is not here, where should it be hidden?"
"Could you hang a flying claw on the edge of the cliff and go down it?" Luo Laoqi glanced at the bottom of the cliff. He felt the dark wind blowing on his face and the dark river was looming. He couldn't help but sigh: "It's so deep... Flying claws are definitely impossible, how can there be such a long rope..."
He Siniang said: "What about going down the valley next to the rock wall? The Eagle Lock can be closed in sections. It doesn't need to be too long, as long as you have rock climbing skills."
The Taoist priest with a grimace replied: "I have never heard of any extraordinary light kung fu skills among the three sects. When it comes to climbing heights and overcoming dangers in the Mushroom Sect, Miss Ji Ling is the most popular one. So with Siniang's skills, how confident can she be? Can you use the Eagle Lock to climb down such a high cliff?"
He Siniang shook her head: "It's too high. I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on until halfway. It seems that climbing down from the cliff is not feasible."
"We've come around again." Luo Laoqi sat down on the edge of the coffin and said helplessly: "The man obviously ran down, but there is no trace of him, and there is no road to his grandmother. Could it be that there is someone who can't be seen or touched?" The gate of hell was opened just now and now it’s gone?”
"What a mess. Since you can't see or touch it, how did Li Gouzhi and the others discover it?"
"Who knows? Maybe there are some tricks left by his unlucky ancestors?"
"Oh, it's impossible. There is no ghost gate in this world. We must have missed some clues, so we can't understand the key points."
"What is Siniang thinking about?" Luo Laoqi asked when he saw that He Siniang was not talking to her, her brows were furrowed as if she was deep in thought.
"I am thinking about the motives of Li Tianwen's trip." He Siniang replied: "Li Tianwen has done such a big game just to get to the bottom of the valley? What is there at the bottom of the valley that is worth taking such a risk? And that person What is the purpose of Yin Yang Zhenjun and the Five Saints who are willing to sacrifice their lives for Li Tianwen?"
"You have so much on your mind... Sajia thought you were wondering where the road is."
"I feel that I can't find the way directly. Maybe I can use reverse thinking to analyze their motivations first and then speculate on possible paths. After all, people must have some reasons before they act, right?"
"Siniang, your idea is right, but trying to find a path through this is pure nonsense." The Taoist Priest with a grimace said: "The missions of the Five Holy Gods are all based on the word wealth. Qiu Laohua's ability to take this trip to the lama is nothing more than Li Tianwen. He just promised a huge reward, and that True Lord of Yin and Yang... he should be the Xu Yibai who warned us in Brother Qingyao's shop. Judging from his recent itinerary, this person is probably the same as the Taoist who moved mountains. What kind of elixir are you looking for? If he can get together with people like Li Tianwen and Qiu Laohua, it means that there must be something he needs at the bottom of the valley."
"That means there are both elixirs and treasures at the bottom of the valley?"
"Nine times out of ten, that's the case. Didn't Li Tianwen mention that there is a 'cave country' at the bottom of the valley? Maybe those things are in this mysterious cave country."
"When the Taoist Master said there was treasure, the Sa family couldn't help but want to take a look. But what on earth is this Crying Country? Why is it built underground?"
"I don't know. Pindao has never heard of any legends about the Cave Country. It must be an unknown history. But we shouldn't dwell on these issues now. The longer time passes, the farther away Li Tianwen will be from us. We still have to think about it. It’s better to find the path as soon as possible.”
"Aren't we sitting here arguing because we can't find it? Besides, the time to enter may have already passed, otherwise we wouldn't even be able to see the shadow of the secret passage."
"If you can see the secret passage, it's not called a secret passage. Since we can't find it no matter how hard we try, let's find it in a stupid way. The terrace is such a big place. Grandma, we plow inch by inch, but I still don't believe that we can't find any clues."
After the grim-faced Taoist priest finished speaking, the three of them split up to search the terrace. This time the three of them searched very carefully, almost carpeting the entire surface. The arc-shaped terrace with a radius of several steps was actually a whole piece of rock. It is said that there is no secret passage above, but even if there is a secret passage, the bottom of the terrace is suspended in the air, and it is absolutely impossible to build a path down to the valley.
The three of them were looking a little irritated. The disappearance of Li Tianwen and his party meant that there were other paths, but there was a path but they couldn't find it. This feeling was not to mention how uncomfortable it was.
Luo Laoqi waved his hands, sat on the edge of the coffin again, looked at the valley bottom and said: "His grandma's old donkey is called Chun Gua Mopan. It can't turn or rub. Isn't this going to kill me?"
He Siniang searched around the rock wall, and then returned to the sarcophagus. She said: "I also looked at the top of the cave entrance. They are all bare rocks, and there are no paths on both sides of the terrace. Li Tianwen wants to start from here." When we go down to the valley, the only way is to grow wings and fly down."
"Sister, why did you let Lao Qi get infected? If Li Tianwen could fly, how could he be so virtuous after being beaten by Lao Qi in the front palace?"
"I'm just using a metaphor, but we really can't find a way right now! Taoist priest, what do you think we should do?"
The Taoist priest with a grimace folded his hands and sighed, obviously not knowing how to answer. After a while, he gradually moved his eyes to the door of the tomb where he came in, and said as if talking to himself: "No outside, what about inside?"
"What? The Taoist Master suspects that the secret passage is in the tunnel?" He Siniang, with sharp ears, said after hearing this: "There is only one stone step in the tunnel, and it is surrounded by rough rocks. How can you hide the secret door?"
"But are there any other possibilities besides this? We have searched all over the terrace and found no clues. On the contrary, the tunnel inside the tomb gate has never been searched. Could it be that it is dark under the light? Ignored by us?"
"If the Taoist Master is suspicious, let's go search it now. I just think that we walked back and forth three times in the tunnel. If there is a secret passage, we won't be unaware of it."
"We were in a hurry, how could we pay attention to the details in the tunnel? Instead of just sitting here and guessing, why not go and verify it for yourself, let's go! Let's go into the tunnel and take a look before talking about it."
