Cui Hao saw that the atmosphere was dull, so he quickly came out to smooth things over.
"Don't let the atmosphere be so stiff. In fact, you can think about it. If the two of us die in front, then you will have two more people buried with you. Is this the truth?"
After speaking, Cui Hao comforted the man.
"But don't worry, our little Man is very strong and will definitely be able to come out of it. We will let you out as soon as possible, so you don't have to worry at all. This place is a little dark for the time being, but there is nothing dangerous inside. Just wait for us."
Although Cui Hao looks kind-hearted, he is actually a staunch supporter of my attitude.
Of course he also thinks that the best way now is to keep people here.
And most importantly.
There is a strange guy in the crack on the far side of us.
That guy would use the dagger if he disagreed, and he almost stabbed both of us through just now.
For such dangerous elements, the best way is to leave them here and ignore them.
I immediately turned around and walked out, taking Cui Hao with me to a place not far in front of the two coffins.
I took out the rope and tied it around my waist.
I handed the other end of the rope to Cui Hao, and he quickly tied it to his arm.
"Master Xiaoman, don't worry. If we are going to live together today, if we are going to die, we will die together."
I nodded, quickly took out the piece of paper, and followed the route marked on the paper.
The location between the second and third caves is two inches in front.
I tried to step on it with my foot, and then slowly shifted the center.
I was always worried that I would miss the mark and fall directly into the hollow below.
But this time it was beyond my expectations.
I actually stepped firmly on it and didn't fall directly.
"There is a door."
There was a hint of surprise in Cui Hao's voice.
I nodded and immediately followed the path directed above and continued walking forward.
Soon, I passed through the holes and came to the last row.
I quickly stepped on the left side according to the mark on it, and successfully jumped to the other side.
At this time, the coffin was half a meter behind me.
I often breathed a sigh of relief and shouted to Cui Hao.
"It's safe. Come over where I just walked."
After saying that, I took out another rope from my backpack and quickly stepped on the hole where Wang Wangyang was with Shang Fang's sword.
The cave opens.
A beam of light shot up from below.
Wang Wangyang clearly marked his location for us.
I immediately lowered the rope.
Until it felt like the rope was being pulled by something.
I breathed a sigh of relief and pulled up with all my strength.
However, this person was still quite heavy. I used all my strength to pull this guy up without success.
I had no choice but to give up and wait for Cui Hao to come over and help me pull him together.
Cui Hao moved slowly, as if he was slowly thinking about the marked position I had just taken.
When this guy walks, he will take out ink from his body and sprinkle it on the ground under his feet to mark our return.
After twisting and turning, he finally moved in front of me.
Cui Hao breathed a long sigh of relief.
"I finally came over. I was always worried that I would fall directly below."
I nodded and handed him half of the rope.
"Help, drag people."
The two of us worked hard together and finally pulled the person below up.
Wang Wangyang was in a miserable state, and half of his clothes had been scratched.
But even with this appearance, when he stood in front of us, he still looked like a noble man, with an extremely elegant temperament in his movements.
"Thank you both, I've remembered this. I will repay you twice as much when I go out."
As he spoke, Wang Wangyang raised his head and looked behind us.
"Master Xiaoman, I have to ask you a question. Which tombstone have you stepped into in this place?"
This is not impossible to say.
I thought carefully for a moment and gave him a five.
"The fifth tombstone. We have walked through the Gate of Death, the Gate of Life, the Gate of Injury, and the Gate of Shock before. This is the fifth gate we have walked through."
Wang Wangyang curled his lips and smiled.
"As expected of Mr. Xiao Man, your judgment is so accurate. I thought I was the only one who would find that this place is consistent with the Five Elements of Bagua. Each tomb has its own door of good and bad luck."
After saying that, his eyes suddenly became a little deeper.
"Master Xiaoman, can you tell me what's going on in the other tombstones? I can help you analyze the situation here."
This is not impossible to say.
In addition, we have already explored the remaining tombstones, and it is impossible to go back.
If he is interested, I don't care if he goes to explore it himself.
I simply told him in detail what I had experienced inside.
"So, in my opinion, the door of death is the most dangerous. The door of life has been cracked by us and is relatively safe. You can go out there."
Wang Wangyang nodded and thanked me.
"Thank you, Mr. Xiaoman, for your advice. According to my analysis, this place is most likely to be the general's tomb."
I was stunned and asked in confusion.
"What does this mean?"
Wang Wangyang pointed to the cave in front of him and explained to me carefully.
"Look, you may not have observed the murals on the wall of this cave carefully when you came here. It shows the scene of the general guarding the country. I remember a ballad, which talks about music, chess, calligraphy and painting, weapons, and underworld. Soldiers guard the gate, and the emperor returns."
Wang Wangyang looked extremely serious.
"Think about it. The Blue Dragon, White Tiger, Suzaku, and Xuanwu correspond to four of the gates, and the death gates of the other four gates mean leading troops to guard the gates. The emperor's tomb you are walking through is the return of the emperor."
He pointed around.
"And in this place, the murals on the walls have clearly told us that this is a general, which means that it corresponds to having both weapons. So what we have to deal with next is most likely cold weapons."
I never thought that so much could be analyzed just from these details.
I thought carefully about what Wang Wangyang said, and it was indeed very reasonable.
"Then what you mean is that we have gone to the tomb of the White Tiger and the Green Dragon, and now only the Suzaku Xuanwu and the last Qinqi, calligraphy and painting are left? But I want to know where did you see this ballad?"
I have never heard of such a so-called ballad being sung anywhere.
Wang Wangyang shrugged.
"Of course it's on the coffin-fixing stone tablet outside. If you want to see it, I'll only show it to you two when you go out. This line of writing is relatively hidden, so you may not have noticed it when you came in before. I'll tell you later I’ll show you the location when I get out.”
I'm not sure about that.
I'm not curious about this thing, I just want to know what is under the ground.
I briefly checked the surroundings carefully, and then my eyes fell on the two coffins.
Wang Wangyang's attitude also became extremely serious.
"The inside of this coffin is definitely not simple. We need to be careful when we get close."
I nodded and blinked at Cui Hao beside me.
He immediately walked to my side and quickly raised the weapon in his hand.
The two of us moved forward slowly in a two-point arrangement.
I raised the Shang Fang sword in my hand and gently pried it against the gap in the coffin.
But it was obvious that the coffin was tightly sealed and the material of the coffin was made of extremely heavy stone bricks.
I just pried it up so hard, but there was no way I could open the coffin directly.
"This thing is too tightly sealed."
Cui Hao thought for a moment and took out a small dagger from his body. His dagger was as thin as a cicada's wing, just enough to fit through the gap.
Cui Hao probed his head and inserted the dagger through the gap, grinding it upwards hard.
"No, this thing can't be lifted at all."
The coffin is two to three meters long, and the coffin is still made of stone.
It is naturally not easy to pry this thing open.
I shook my head and pulled Cui Hao back.
"Don't mess around. If something unexpected happens later, we both have to answer here."
Wang Wangyang was not like the two of us. He walked around the coffin, looking left and right, as if he was looking for something.
Seeing his appearance, Cui Hao approached him enthusiastically.
"What are you doing?"
Wang Wangyang shook his head and gently knocked on the sarcophagus wall.
"Don't think you can pry this thing open directly. I looked at it and it should be a thousand-jin stone. With your strength, you can't pry this thing open even if you tell me you are here today."
After saying that, Wang Wangyang waved his hand at us.
"But don't worry, I think there may be a mechanism on this thing. Look at this place."
He knelt down and pointed to the bottom of the coffin, near the ground.
"There are inlays here, and I found a stone trough next to it, with several wheels thrown in it. The wheels are made of stone, and there are grooves on these wheels, which can form mortise and tenon joints with the sarcophagus. The structure allows for a tight fit by tapping on the inside, so you don’t have to worry about the wheels rolling out.”
I immediately understood what Wang Wangyang meant.
"You mean, they used this method to transport the coffin here. Since they have learned to use this kind of wheels to transport the coffin, then the lid of the coffin weighs a thousand kilograms, and it should be impossible to lift it manually. , they will find other ways to switch."
Wang Wangyang nodded at me appreciatively.
"That's what I mean, Mr. Man, so I think that if you want to open this coffin, there must be a special mechanism. As long as we can find the location of this mechanism, then opening this coffin will be a piece of cake."
With that said, Wang Wangyang turned his head and continued to carefully search for traces and clues on the ground.
Upon seeing this, Cui Hao immediately joined in.
"Take me one, and I'll help you find it too."
