Speaking of this, Cui Hao's eyes quickly fell on several other stone tablets.

"This means that if we go to other tombs, the two corresponding to Suzaku Xuanwu will definitely have treasures in them."

With that said, Cui Hao walked to Jingmen without hesitation.

"Master Xiaoman, let's go this way!"

With that said, Cui Hao pressed the switch above, and a hole appeared in front of us in an instant.

I shook my head when I heard this.

I immediately dragged Cui Hao back.

"Wait a minute, don't make a decision in a hurry."

I pointed to the hollow below and explained my guess to him.

"Although there are treasures down here, it means that the risks below are higher. I think our next target is best to be above Southeast Dumen."

You must know that Jingmen is another auspicious gate among the eight gates, besides the Opening Gate, the Closed Gate, and the Living Gate.

So I think it may be relatively safer here. I still think we should visit the most dangerous places first.

Only in this way will it be more likely to discover the corpse shroud first.

"Anyway, we all have to walk through it. Since we have walked almost half of it, the remaining half must also be explored. If this is the case, then we might as well start from the most difficult part, so that we can explore more in the future. It will also be less difficult.”

The longer we stayed in here, the greater the physical exertion on both of us.

If we put the most difficult ones behind, I'm afraid that by then the two of us will simply be exhausted and unable to get out of it.

After hearing my explanation, Cui Hao was silent for a while.

Finally, he nodded to me.

"Okay, Mr. Xiaoman. You have more experience than me. I will listen to you on this matter. Then we will go to Dumen."

With that said, Cui Hao had already walked to my side, reached out and grabbed Du Men's mechanism.

The cave opened before us again.

I lowered the rope again and climbed down using the rope.

It was freezing cold below.

There was a dampness in the air around me, and there was a hint of moisture rushing toward me.

"Fat man, be careful. This is in the southeast direction, and it is also the last Zhongping Gate. The things inside are very dangerous. Anyway, you have to be careful."

Cui Hao responded, a bit breathy in his tone.

"If you can let me have a good rest and stay outside and stop running around, then I will be happier."

While the two of us were talking, we had already climbed down from the rope.

With my feet on the ground, I cautiously raised the flashlight and took a look around.

This is almost the same size as the previous space.

The surroundings were still surrounded by cold stone walls.

But the moment I stepped into this place, I immediately felt a chilling air rushing towards me.

Vaguely, I even felt the sharp light of the swords around me, as if there were several murderous intentions hidden in the dark.

"There's something wrong with this place, Fatty. Don't move around."

I didn't dare to move, but stood cautiously and pointed the flashlight around carefully.

Cui Hao nodded at me and followed me silently, looking around.

After a long while, he finally spoke.

"I think this place is quite normal. There's nothing unusual about it. It's just some ordinary stone walls. Mr. Man, are you too nervous?"

With that said, Cui Hao stood up and wanted to walk around.

His action startled me.

I stopped immediately.

"Fat man, listen to me. If you want to move around, I won't care if you die down there."

Cui Hao was startled by my voice.

He swayed and stayed in place without daring to move.

I breathed a sigh of relief and continued to look around.

My flashlight kept shaking on the surrounding walls. The rock walls here seemed to have no trace of carving.

But as long as you follow the cracks in the rock wall and go around, you can vaguely see that there are many cave entrances on the surrounding rock walls.

Especially at the deep edge of the cave entrance, it seems to be filled with something, but it can't be seen clearly.

"Fat man, follow me. If any mechanism is triggered, you must get down on the ground and hide from the mechanism as soon as possible."

After I finished speaking, I immediately raised my feet and took a step forward.

When I landed, I first put my weight on my right foot to avoid touching the mechanism.

After confirming that the left foot on the ground did not touch any mechanism, I slowly transferred the weight to the sole of my left foot.

After I slowly moved a few meters, I confirmed that the surroundings were safe and there was no ambush.

I took out the dagger from my body, held it in my hand, and pointed the flashlight at the wall not far away.

Cui Hao saw that I didn't look so serious and walked to my side with a smile.

"Master Xiao Man, I told you that you are too nervous. How could it be so dangerous when we just came in?"

As he spoke, he poked his head and looked at the wall carefully.

"But what do you mean by the cracks on the wall? The cracks look irregular, but why do I always feel like there is something inside?"

As he spoke, Cui Hao picked up the flashlight and pointed it at the gaps, stuck his head over, and looked inside carefully along the edge of the gap.

suddenly.

Cui Hao exclaimed, suddenly threw away the flashlight and rushed to my side.

"What’s wrong with you?"

I realized something was wrong, so I quickly rushed to Cui Hao's side, pulled him away and looked at his body up and down.

"Did you hit something?"

Cui Hao shook his head at me and pointed at the crack on the side.

"No, I didn't touch anything. But inside the crack, when I looked inside along the crack, I seemed to see an eye."

I took a breath.

We are the only two breathing down here.

If he saw eyes inside, then someone else might have gotten in.

Or there are more dangerous creatures underneath the ground watching us in the dark.

I swallowed and walked to Cui Hao's side.

"Be careful, I'll go over and take a look."

As I said that, I immediately picked up the dagger and cautiously approached the gap with the flashlight.

When I came to the edge of the gap, I pointed the light of my flashlight into the gap and shined it through.

At this time, there seemed to be something vaguely shaking inside.

As my light got closer, the things inside shook more and more violently.

I pressed the flashlight close to the edge of the gap in the wall, not daring to get too close, and carefully observed the movement inside.

Suddenly, I clearly saw an eyeball looking out through the gap. The eyeball was covered with bloodshot eyes, and it rolled upwards. It looked extremely scary.

I retreated quickly, putting some distance between myself and the gap in the wall.

"What the hell?"

I looked back at Xiang Cui Hao, and he shook his head at me, his expression full of fear.

"have no idea."

I distinguished this eye carefully, but I always felt that it should be the eye of a living person.

It's not like the eyeballs of other creatures.

I thought about it and shouted directly into the gap.

"Is there anyone on the other side?"

In just an instant, scratching sounds came from the wall.

It is clearly something on the opposite side that is responding to us.

"Are you alive?"

Cui Hao was in disbelief and shouted towards the gap to the other end.

Soon, the scratching sound became more intense.

I thought about it, and there was no way to communicate effectively in this way.

I knocked twice on the wall.

"You can understand our questions, right? But you can't speak now, right?"

After saying that, there was another burst of scratching on the other end.

I organized my words and shouted to the other side again.

"So, if you agree with me, then scratch the wall once. If you don't agree, then scratch it twice. If you think this method is okay, can I ask you a few questions?"

After hearing my shouting, the person on the other side immediately scratched the wall.

Cui Hao stood beside me in surprise.

"Master Xiao Man, the person opposite can understand. He obviously understands what we are saying."

I nodded, and just as I was about to speak, Cui Hao interrupted.

"Then the first question is, are you a living person or a dead person?"

There was silence for a while, obviously not knowing how to answer.

I slapped Cui Hao on the back of the head and pushed him aside.

"You can only ask questions with yes or no answers. You asked people to answer a multiple-choice question?"

After speaking, I organized my language and asked another question.

"Are you a living person?"

The other side scratched the wall.

I felt relieved immediately. As long as there was a living person on the other side, there was no need to worry about what threat he would pose to us.

Cui Hao was obviously relieved.

"It's a living person, then ask this guy how he got in?"

I thought for a moment, then reached out and knocked on the wall.

"You were blocked in the last few days, right?"

There was another scratching sound from the other end of the wall.

Cui Hao opened his eyes in disbelief.

"What do you mean? This guy is a modern man. He was sealed to the other side of the wall recently, right?"

I nodded, it seemed like that was the case.

After all, even if the emperor's warlocks are extremely powerful, I don't believe they can keep a person incorruptible for thousands of years.

He is even able to live to this day, standing on the opposite side of the wall and communicating with us.

And the most important thing is that this guy can obviously understand what we are saying. You must know that the language has changed a lot after thousands of years of language changes.

Not to mention the various slangs and dialects, plus the changes between ancient texts.

The original ancient language must be very different from our current language.

The guy on the opposite side was able to clearly understand what we meant and give us corresponding answers accurately.

This is enough to prove that he should be a modern man, and at least he should not be buried here for too long.

After realizing this, I knew how to communicate clearly with the guy on the other side.
