Volume 3 - Tomb of the Fox Fairy Chapter 39 - Mechanism Stone Gate
Li Kun said: "Old Liu, it seems that this is the only way to go. Do you think this is the only place leading to the entrance to the Fox Immortal Tomb?"
I recalled where we were. When we came down, we were on the side of Qinglong Mountain. When we got underground, we were on the right side of us, but this direction was at an angle. If we put it this way, we
The road on the right is most likely the passage leading to the Tomb of the Fox Immortal.
If it is not the only passage, why would someone dig such a large cave in such a hidden location, more than ten meters underground, and there is an underground river of such a scale here. Generally, places with underground rivers are not Dragon Veins.
It is also a place of great wealth and wealth. It is a very good place to build a tomb. It is not impossible to build the Tomb of the Fox Fairy here.
I nodded, pointed my flashlight at the road on the right side of the river bank, and said, "If you are right, this road is the only way to the Fox Fairy's Tomb. Let's leave quickly."
A few people nodded, and then a few of us walked towards the passage on the right.
This underground river is indeed very wide. An underground river of this size can be considered very huge. I shined a flashlight into the river, and it was extremely dark inside. At this time, Li Kun picked up a stone on the ground and pointed it towards the river.
After throwing it into the river, we heard a muffled sound and all of us secretly sighed. The water depth here is at least about five meters.
The road we were walking was close to the river bank, and we could feel the slipperiness on the road. On our right was a thick rock wall, but the path became narrower and narrower. We almost
Not long after people walked, the path almost became less than two meters long.
We were traveling very slowly. After walking for about ten minutes, the road ahead was completely blocked by the rock wall. There was still a thick rock wall around us, but the underground river was at this time.
It is getting wider and wider. It seems that the road here has been completely washed away by the river water over time.
Seeing this, several people behind me were at a loss. Xu Tian asked behind me: "Old Liu, the road is impassable. What should we do now? Do we have to swim across it? It's winter now."
, the water temperature of this underground river is probably much colder than the water temperature outside."
But at this time, I walked to the shore, picked up the flashlight and shined it on the bank of the river. Then I squatted down and picked up another stone on the ground, and then threw it on the bank of the river.
After hearing a muffled sound, my brows furrowed slightly.
The river water on the bank is very deep. The deepest part of the river in the center or on our other side is almost ten meters deep, and our side is also almost ten meters deep. Even if the road on the river bank is washed away by the river water
, nor is it nearly the same depth as the center of the river.
Thinking of this, I secretly thought, if I extrapolate from this, then there should be no roads on the shore. The construction workers stopped working when they were building here, so the depth of the shore is the same as the center.
of.
Thinking of this, I turned my head and looked at the rock wall around us. I saw that the rock wall here was very smooth and flat.
When several people saw me staring at the rock wall, they all picked up their flashlights and shined them on the rock wall. After seeing that the rock wall here was relatively flat, several people looked stunned.
Xu Tian asked: "Old Liu, what's wrong?"
I took a closer look at this relatively flat rock wall. The flat rock wall was almost two meters high and three meters wide. I walked to the rock wall and put my flashlight close to the rock wall to start.
Observe carefully.
And when I shined the flashlight on the rock wall, I saw that there was a trace of cracks on the rock wall here. Although it was not very clear, under the bright illumination of four flashlights,
This crack is extremely obvious.
Seeing this, I suddenly became nervous. Then I leaned close to the rock wall and observed it carefully. I stretched out my hand and touched the crack. I saw that the crack extended all the way to the ground. Then I found the position just now and continued.
Start looking up carefully.
And this crack coincides with the top of this relatively flat rock wall.
Seeing this, I showed a smile. At this time, Li Kun and Xu Tian were still talking endlessly, talking about what to do if there is no road.
But Xu Tian has been watching my movements. When he saw my smile, Xu Tian quickly asked: "Old Liu, have you discovered anything?"
I nodded and said, "If I read correctly, the entrance to the Fox Immortal Tomb is the stone wall in front of us."
After hearing what I said, Li Kun and Xu Tian were slightly stunned. Looking at the uneven but still flat rock wall next to them, Li Kun said: "Old Liu, you said this rock wall is the tomb of the Fox Immortal.
The entrance?”
I nodded and put a finger to my mouth to silence them. Then I took out the crowbar from Xu Tian's backpack. After holding the crowbar tightly, I hit it hard on other places.
He signaled them to listen to the sound, and after hearing a bang, the crowbar hit the rock wall next to him and sparks flew out.
I nodded to the two of them and pointed to my relatively flat rock wall. Then I rounded my arms and hit the rock wall here hard. After hearing a bang, we
The sound of the rock wall in front of me was completely different from the sound of knocking on the rock wall next to me just now, because the sound coming from this time was very hollow.
Xu Tian hurriedly lay down on the stone wall and listened. Then Xu Tian raised his head and looked at me and said, "Old Liu, there is an echo inside."
After Xu Tian finished speaking, I nodded. This was already what I expected. Li Kun looked at me with wide eyes and said, "Damn, Lao Liu, you are so amazing.
You can find it all.”
I said: "This should be a door. Let's check first how to open this door."
Li Kun stepped forward and stroked the rock wall back and forth, and said, "This door is so hidden. Is there some mechanism?"
And I also started to carefully explore nearby, knocking here and touching there. While we were still searching for traces, Xu Tian turned to me and said: "Old Liu, Old Li, look here."
Li Kun and we went over after hearing the sound, only to see Xu Tian standing in front of the rock wall on the right side of the stone gate, stroking a protruding white stone inlaid on the rock wall with his palm. Xu Tian said: "I just pressed the
, I found that this stone can be pressed down, I think this should be the location of the mechanism."
I walked to Xu Tian and said to the three of them: "You three, don't stand at the door of Shimen. Come to the other side of me."
After listening to what I said, several people nodded, and then they all walked to the position behind me. I said: "If there is anything wrong, run away immediately."
A few people nodded, and then I took a deep breath, pressed my palm on the stone, then exerted a slight force on my arm, and pressed the stone down directly.
The moment the stone was pressed down, several of us heard a friction sound. The next moment, a crack appeared on the rock wall in front of us on the left side. This crack was very irregular and not a straight line.
Instead, it extends into a lightning shape all the way to the bottom.
Then several of us heard a banging sound, a sound of stones rubbing against the ground, and the rock wall in front of us began to slowly open inward.
Seeing this, several of us became nervous, fearing that there might be some trap or something like that. However, as time passed, the stone door in front of us remained open, and nothing unusual happened at all.
Seeing this, all of us let out a long breath. Li Kun looked at the stone door that was open to the inside, then looked around, picked up a big stone on the ground and walked to the door of the stone door.
Then the big stone was placed in the middle of the doorway.
Li Kun said: "Don't let the door close when we enter, then we won't be able to get out. It's better to put a stone here. Even if the stone door closes by itself, it will still be stuck here."
After Li Kun finished speaking, Xu Tian said: "This stone door can only be opened by triggering the mechanism. As long as we don't close it, who can close the door."
Li Kun waved his hand and said: "Lao Xu, if you went with us on the last trip to the general's tomb, you would know why I was so cautious. Not to mention closing the door, the monster's secret passage is better than Lao Liu and us.
It’s all played and understood.”
Xu Tianze turned his head and looked at me. I nodded and said, "Okay, we will talk to you in detail about these things after we go back. Now let's go take a look and pay attention to safety. If there is anything wrong, tell us directly."
Give him a shot first before shooting."
The two of them nodded, and I raised my steps and walked slowly into the stone door. A few people followed me, picked up the flashlight and looked back and forth inside.
When we entered the stone door, we felt a chill eroding our whole bodies. When we felt the chill, I said, "This is corpse energy."
Li Kun turned to look at the big dog and said, "Old Liu, we have a heritage ring to protect us from being corroded by corpse energy. What about the big dog?"
I turned to look at Big Dog and said, "Big Dog, what do you think?"
The big dog shook his head and said doubtfully: "Ah? How about what? I didn't feel anything."
