Lin Yan's original purpose was to come here and then use the power of everyone to break open the sarcophagus.
Now that we are here, half the battle is already done.
And judging from the fiery eyes of these people, they would complete this task by themselves without any guidance from him.
At this time, someone discovered something unusual. Some of these stone soldiers and horses had severed arms and legs, and there were some gravels scattered on the ground around them.
"Maybe it was damaged because of its age." Jin Huan looked at it and said.
"No! This was man-made damage. Someone entered the stone chamber before us." Li Chuqi said after careful observation.
Everyone's expressions couldn't help but change when they heard this. They went through many difficulties and dangers and lost many people before they got here, but someone unexpectedly got there first.
This is really unreasonable!
As everyone carefully observed their surroundings, they discovered a cave entrance in the southwest corner above the stone chamber.
This is... a robbery hole!
Thinking of this, everyone's faces became even more gloomy. Who dares to pick our peaches?
Lin Yan also looked very anxious, but there was no disturbance in his heart, because that person was him.
However, he has not successfully picked peaches before, but is planning to pick them now!
"Quick! Confirm!" Jin Huan ordered to his soldiers, and then rushed out first.
The others followed closely behind, with only Lin Yan and old man Zhang Deshou lagging slightly behind.
Lin Yan was also very confused. He knew there was an agency here, but what happened to this old man?
Could it be that he also knows?
If you can't figure it out, don't think about it for now. This is Lin Yan's rule. Maybe the answer will surface later!
The Jinhuan leader rushed the fastest, followed closely by the disciples of the Xuantian Sect led by Meng Feiyu and the disciples of the Buddha Sect led by Wushan. There was also a little dwarf mixed in among them, who was the earth-buckling from the Earth Escape Sect.
He had successfully passed through the Eight Gates with the Buddhist disciples before, and had tasted the benefits, so he followed without hesitation this time.
Li Chuqi was deliberately slow because he had experienced so many mechanisms before. Compared with confirming whether the sarcophagus had been opened, it was more important to ensure his own safety.
The hook-nosed old man of the Flying Eagle Sect was in sync with Li Chuqi, and his ideas were similar to the former's, but he had more of a Jianghu man's intuition about danger.
It was this intuition that prevented him from falling into the trap.
At the moment when the stone soldiers and horses started to move, the forward movement of Li Chuqi and the old man with a hooked nose, who were about to enter the formation, suddenly stopped and suddenly retreated.
Afterwards, Lin Yan and Old Man Zhang quickly retreated as soon as they noticed the movement, and the four of them did not fall into the formation.
Jin Huan and others who had already entered the formation were not so lucky.
As the stone scimitar in the hand of a stone soldier slashed down, a Canglang Guard was directly decapitated, and a large amount of blood spurted out from the cavity, dyeing the stone knife and the people around him red.
In this sudden change, many people who entered the battle were injured without reacting. Of course, masters such as Jin Huan, Meng Feiyu, and Wu Shan had to be excluded. Although they were a little surprised, it actually didn't cause them any harm.
This is natural, after all, the strength of these people is there.
The remaining soldiers and the disciples of the two sects also suffered a lot in this incident.
In addition to the beheaded soldier, another soldier was pierced through the chest by a stone spear and died.
A white-robed disciple of the Xuantian Sect was directly hacked to death by the stone soldiers. Within a few breaths, he was almost chopped into pulp.
Relatively speaking, the Buddha Sect, which focused on body training, still had a considerable advantage in this kind of close attack. Although two disciples were seriously injured, fortunately no one died.
The Tubo, who was temporarily following the Buddha Sect, relied on his body's natural advantages to run back and forth among the stone soldiers and horses without being injured. This was also a natural physical advantage that others could not envy.
But it has to be said that the overall quality of the disciples of the large sect is not bad. Although they did not react at first, they quickly launched a counterattack against the stone soldiers.
On the other hand, the Canglang Guards led by Jin Huan were able to keep up with their response, but what they were good at after all was group combat. Now that they were separated by the stone soldiers, their disadvantage of insufficient individual capabilities was revealed.
Everyone who entered the formation fought back, and the stone soldiers were knocked down one after another.
Although they have no sense of pain and can continue to attack even if their hands and feet are broken, it is meaningless for masters like Jinhuan and the others. At most, it will only cost them more hands and feet.
Under the bombardment of several leading masters, the stone soldiers and horses that were still jumping around just now gradually turned into rubble on the ground.
But his soldiers could not do this. In just a short time, two more Wolf Guards died under the attack of the stone soldiers.
Finally, these stone soldiers and horses were completely wiped out under the bombardment of everyone, leaving only rubble on the ground.
But the dead people could not survive. There were less than ten Canglang Guards led by Jin Huan, and they were all injured. He had brought more than a hundred people into the underground palace before!
Among these people, no one can compare with him in terms of heavy losses.
It is not easy to train these Canglang Guards, but now they have lost so much.
Jin Huan shuddered at the thought of the punishment he would face after returning.
After all, his master was not an easy character to deal with.
At this time, although Meng Feiyu and Wu Shan's team situation was better than his, they were not much better.
They looked at the four people outside the court who were unharmed and even watching the show leisurely, and they couldn't help but get angry.
People are like this, not worried about scarcity but about inequality!
We are fighting life and death here, and you are sitting back and enjoying the results in a safe place. Why!
"What do you mean, why don't you rescue me?" Jin Huan looked at Lin Yan and the others and said angrily.
"Replying to my lord, I am of low strength and really did not react. Please forgive me!" The hook-nosed old man cupped his hands and said.
Old man Zhang Deshou and Lin Yan behind him also bowed their hands to show their attitude.
It’s not that we don’t want to save anyone, but our strength is too low to do it!
Jin Huan's eyes gradually narrowed. He didn't believe even a single punctuation mark in the words of these people.
Are you weak? Then why weren't you the ones who died in those previous institutions? ah?
If you tell ghosts this nonsense, they won’t believe it!
Jin Huan thought in his heart: If he had known better, he should have thrown these Jianghu people out to explore the way. If they died earlier, they would have come in handy, so as not to disgust themselves at this time.
But with the strength of his current team, it is not as easy as before to control these Jianghu people.
Meng Feiyu on the side also coldly questioned the young Confucian scholar Li Chuqi, saying: "The three sects are connected by the same spirit. They should be watching and helping each other. Why are you standing idly by?"
Li Chuqi glanced at him and said calmly: "The person who died is not from my Confucian family, so I'm not interested!"
Meng Feiyu was furious after hearing this, pointed at his nose and said: "You..."
Li Chuqi interrupted him and said, "You don't want to help us. Do you believe this? You have the nerve to say it, and you are not afraid of embarrassment!"
"For so many years, haven't the three sects fought openly or secretly? Don't you, Xuantian Sect, pride yourself on being superior to others? How does it feel now?"
Being speechless by Li Chuqi's barrage, Meng Feiyu could only say: "Li Chuqi, you have the guts!" Then he turned his head and ignored him.
Li Chuqi thought: I am a pure man, so naturally I have the talent. Inexplicably, this Xuantian Sect can't even curse people. It has really ruined its reputation for nothing.
I don’t know when swearing became the standard for measuring the level of a sect.
Lin Yan also didn't expect that Li Chuqi, who usually looked very elegant, could be so sharp in his remarks.
He didn't know that Confucianism was extremely good at debating, and the "Sage Academy" even opened a special course for this purpose.
Confucian disciples will hold special debate competitions every once in a while, which is called "Xuan Tan"!
They have already taught special courses to win by scolding, no, by debating, so how can Meng Feiyu take advantage of Li Chuqi with his words.
Wu Shan didn't say anything. He knew that there was no point in saying anything at this moment, but he already had these guys watching the theater in his heart.
If he doesn't have a good time, others can't have a good time either. This is his principle.
As a monk, Master always said that he was too violent and his six roots were impure.
But he didn't take it seriously. In the world, sometimes if you don't mess with others, others will mess with you.
So it would be better to scare them from the start and make them afraid of provoking me, the Buddha Sect.
It should be noted that Buddhism not only has kind-hearted monks, but also angry-eyed Vajras who kill people when they open their eyes!
However, there was no point in continuing to argue in the current situation, so everyone turned their attention to the position of the sarcophagus again.
Now, the stone soldiers and horses that were in the way have been shattered into slag on the ground and can no longer play any role.
Everyone came to the stone steps and looked at the sarcophagus on the stage, but no one came forward first. After all, who knew if there were any mechanisms in the sarcophagus.
Everyone, look at you, look at me, no one wants to stand out at this time.
Jin Huan looked at Lin Yan and the others with unkind eyes, suddenly stretched out his hand and said, "You four, choose one to open the sarcophagus!"
This is truly a disaster!
Everyone knows that whoever opens a museum now may die, and only fools are willing to go!
But seeing Meng Feiyu, Wu Shan, and even Li Chuqi cast unkind glances, they understood that the people from these large sects were the same as Jin Huan, and they just wanted them to be used as cannon fodder!
However, with the current situation, even if they can't say it, it's not up to them!
The four people looked at each other and thought: Since they can't get rid of it, they can only die as fellow Taoists rather than as poor Taoists.
At this time, Old Man Zhang took out three dice from his arms and said to everyone: "Everyone, why don't you use this thing to decide who will open the sarcophagus? Whoever has the smallest number will go."
The other three people looked at each other, checked the dice one by one, and agreed after finding no problems.
The first person to throw the dice was the landhog. He held the three dice in his hand, kept muttering something like "the sky is full of spirit, the earth is full of spirit" and so on, and then threw it away.
The dice rolled on the ground for a few times and then stopped. Everyone took a look: it was five, four, five. Fourteen o'clock. Not big, not small.
Next is the old man with a hooked nose. He has obviously played with this thing before, and his throwing posture is extremely professional.
But the result may not be satisfactory. After the dice stops, the result displayed is: four, four, five. Thirteen o'clock.
This time the landhog was happy, he didn't have to go anyway.
The expression of the hook-nosed old man was as if he had eaten a dead child, and he felt as uncomfortable as he felt.
He himself is still thinking: It shouldn’t be! My skills are pretty good!
In fact, every time he goes to the casino, he loses more than he wins. This old guy obviously doesn't have a clear understanding of himself.
Next up was Old Man Zhang. This old man didn't show any pretense, he simply threw it away: five, five, five. Fifteen o'clock.
Seeing his relaxed and carefree look made the hook-nosed old man itch with hatred. This guy definitely did it on purpose.
Finally, the pressure was put on Lin Yan. How could he, a child, have played with something like dice? If nothing else happened, he would probably be the one to open the museum.
Just when Lin Yan was at a loss what to do, Qiu Lao's voice sounded in his mind: "Boy, there's something wrong with this dice."
Lin Yan asked in his mind: "What's the problem?"
Qiu Lao replied: "I checked just now. There is a small metal ball inside each dice. People who play with them all year round can control the number of points in the dice through this object."
Lin Yan figured it out instantly after hearing this!
So that’s the case, no wonder Old Man Zhang suggested using dice to select people. It turned out to be just a trick.
This old guy is so wicked!
He was the third in line to roll the dice, presumably to observe the scores of others to decide which points to throw himself, and being in this position would not easily arouse others' suspicion.
What a trap!
Seeing that Lin Yan had not moved for a long time, the people around him started urging him. They would not show mercy just because he was a child.
This is Jianghu. As long as you step in, it doesn't matter whether you are a woman or a child. You will not receive any special treatment.
Instead, they will become vassals or cannon fodder in the hands of the strong due to their lack of strength!
"You were the ones who cheated first! If that's the case, then you can't blame me!" Lin Yan thought.
Then he also made a casual throw, and the others were not optimistic about it. After all, Old Man Zhang's casual throw was the confidence he had been immersed in for many years. Isn't it a joke that he, a little kid, learned this trick?
But the next scene shocked everyone's attention. The thrown dice rolled a few times and stopped. The number was three fives. Fifteen o'clock! Exactly the same as Old Man Zhang!
What the hell!
In fact, he was right. This was because Qiu Lao secretly controlled the result of the dice.
Lin Yan didn't deliberately ask Mr. Qiu to make three sixes. After all, that would be too shocking. Now it's good!
As soon as the results came out, the person who was going to open the sarcophagus was an old man with a hooked nose.
Jin Huan and others didn't care. After all, it was the same to them, as long as they didn't harm their own people.
But the hook-nosed old man couldn't accept this result. He shouted in disbelief: "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
Suddenly he pointed at Lin Yan with his backhand and said, "It's you! You must be cheating!"
Lin Yan looked frightened, almost crying, and said aggrievedly: "I didn't."
In fact, he was all pretending. While he is still young and can take advantage of his appearance, he should seize the opportunity to make more use of it.
When everyone saw this, they couldn't help but despise the behavior of the hook-nosed old man. This old man had lived like a dog at such an old age.
It is so shameless to refuse to admit defeat and falsely accuse a child!
Even the marmot slowly moved away from him, as if he was ashamed to be with this person.
The hook-nosed old man was so angry that he was despised by a scum. It was really unreasonable!
Jin Huan and others were also staring at the hook-nosed old man with unkind eyes at this moment. Feeling the huge pressure from all around, he could only bite the bullet and walk towards the stage step by step.
After getting on the stone platform, the aquiline-nosed old man carefully walked around the sarcophagus. After making sure that there were no traps, he started to open the museum.
In fact, it is not accurate to call it a sarcophagus. It should be called a coffin.
The coffins of the ancients were divided into two parts: the "coffin" and the "coffin". "Coffin" refers to the device used to bury the body, and "coffin" refers to the outer coffin that is placed outside the coffin, which is the large coffin that is placed outside the coffin.
The hook-nosed old man first took out a dagger and drew a circle along the gap in the outer coffin lid, then pushed it to the side, causing the coffin lid to slide down, revealing the inner coffin inside.
The inner coffin is entirely made of gold. It shines brightly and is extremely luxurious under the reflection of the lights on the wall. There is definitely a prominent figure buried inside, who is probably the owner of this underground palace!
Compared to this golden coffin, the funerary objects around it, the gorgeous jades, and precious jewelry are all nothing worth mentioning!
Looking at the golden coffin in front of him, the hook-nosed old man breathed heavily and slowly stretched out his hand to touch it.
At this moment, something unexpected happened, and the lid of the golden coffin suddenly opened automatically. Then a bloody hand stretched out from the coffin, grabbed the hook-nosed old man's wrist, and pulled him into the coffin... …
