After hearing what Wen Qingshan said, I couldn't help but feel a little surprised, but if I think about it carefully, since the one-horned earth dragon lives deep underground, it's not surprising that it can escape from the ground. But where would it get into this tomb?
It's coming.
I looked around and suddenly found that in a corner of the tomb, the bluestone tiles laid on the floor had been lifted aside, revealing a soil hole with a diameter of more than half a meter.
Wen Qingshan and I quickly walked to the entrance of the earthen cave and took a flashlight to shine inside. However, because the cave was too deep, we couldn't see anything except dirt.
Wen Qingshan stared at the dark hole and said, "That one-horned earth dragon must have come out of this hole."
"Even the floor tiles have been lifted. This one-horned earth dragon is really hard at burrowing into the ground. But the question is, what is it doing in this tomb?" I was a little confused.
Wen Qingshan pondered for a moment and said: "The one-horned earth dragon may also come here for the evil things in the tomb, and it is probably still in this tomb. We'd better be careful."
I nodded.
The two of us retreated from the tomb and continued walking along the corridor. Because we were worried that the one-horned earth dragon might come out at any time, we were much more cautious than before. Wen Qingshan held the broken dragon tightly in his hand.
I held the dragon's tooth tightly in my hand, and while walking, I cautiously explored the surroundings. Especially when I passed the door of each tomb, I couldn't help but take a flashlight to shine inside, but it didn't work.
Nothing was found.
The two of us soon arrived at the dark blue stone door at the end of the corridor.
The stone door is about two meters wide and more than three meters high. On this stone door, there is a huge animal head engraved on it. The animal head protrudes slightly and occupies almost the entire area of the door. I took a closer look and found that this is not
It is not an ordinary animal head, but a dragon head, vivid and lifelike, especially the pair of eyes, which look majestic and majestic, as if they are alive.
Wen Qingshan couldn't help but sigh: "I really didn't expect the craftsmanship to be so exquisite. If this stone gate is taken down and put on the market, it will definitely be a valuable cultural relic."
I said with some confusion: "What's so special about this door? Since that group of tomb robbers emptied the entire tomb, why couldn't they clear this stone door?"
Hearing what I said, Wen Qingshan seemed to suddenly think of something, and turned to ask me: "By the way, Shi Yu! Speaking of the things in this mausoleum being emptied, who do you think this method would be?"
for?"
My mind immediately flashed: "Could it be a nine-headed worm!?"
Wen Qingshan nodded: "In my opinion, it's probably these guys who did it!"
I thought for a moment and said with some confusion: "If it was really the Nine-Headed Insect that did it, it is impossible for them not to be interested in the evil things in this tomb. Logically speaking, even if they try every possible means, they should open the stone door.
But why didn’t you take action?”
Wen Qingshan frowned and said: "This is what I am confused about. With the method of the Nine-Headed Insect, I think it should not be impossible to open the stone door. But the strange thing is that not only did they not open the stone door, but also
They have also sent people to guard this place for decades. Could it be that they already knew what was in the tomb and had some scruples about it?"
When Wen Qingshan said this, I couldn't help but be slightly startled: "Wait a minute, what do you mean they sent people to guard this place for decades? Does it mean that Chen San and his wife are also members of a cult?"
"Otherwise, who do you think they are?" Wen Qingshan asked.
"This should be impossible. If Chen San was really a member of a cult, why did he suffer the murder of a member of the cult?" I couldn't believe it.
Wen Qingshan said disapprovingly: "This is too normal. It is not unusual for people in cults to attack their own people. As far as I know, the Heisha Gui Cult is not a monolithic one. It is divided into several major factions, each of which
It is also common for factions to fight each other in order to compete for interests."
Listening to what Wen Qingshan said, I seemed to understand something, and said thoughtfully: "In other words, people from a faction of the cult discovered such an ancient tomb before liberation, and found that there was a seal sealed in the ancient tomb.
It was an evil object, but perhaps because of some scruples about this evil object, they did not take it out, but asked Chen San to guard it here. Later, people from another faction of the cult also discovered this ancient tomb, so
Killed Chen San and asked Mr. Lin to guard this place..."
Speaking of Lin Guangyuan, I think it's a bit unreasonable. Lin Guangyuan is the undercover agent of the demon hunter. Since the cult has arranged for him to guard the evil objects here, why didn't he take the opportunity to take out the evil objects and actually let Ghost Eye Chen continue?
How about helping to guard this evil thing? Thinking of this, I raised my head and said, "Wait a minute, this is wrong!"
"What's wrong?" Wen Qingshan asked.
I expressed the doubts in my heart. After hearing this, Wen Qingshan frowned and said: "What Mr. Lin did is really difficult to explain with common sense. I don't know whether he is an enemy or a friend, although I haven't been able to see it yet.
I know this person, but I have always had reservations about him. It is best for you to be cautious about him and not to trust him too much."
At this point, Wen Qingshan changed the topic: "Don't talk about him, let's find a way to open this stone door. As long as we can enter this tomb, everything may be clear."
When I heard that he still insisted on opening the stone door, I quickly stopped him and said, "Boss Wen, wait a minute. Even the Nine-Headed Insect is wary of what's inside. Could it be some evil thing that's difficult to deal with?"
"
"It's possible! Because of this, we should find out what is sealed inside, but you and I had better be careful!" Wen Qingshan insisted on entering the tomb to take a look. I was helpless and had to hold on tight.
Dragon tooth in hand.
Wen Qingshan walked forward slowly, raised his hand and knocked lightly on the stone door a few times, only to find that there was a metallic sound. He couldn't help being slightly startled, staring at the stone door for a while, and seemed to see
Something happened and he said: "This door is not made of ordinary stone, but some kind of metal!"
"Metal? Could it be that this is an iron gate?"
Wen Qingshan didn't answer me, but took out the Broken Dragon Sword and slashed the door with his sword. There was a loud "clang" sound, and sparks flew everywhere in an instant.
After the cutting was completed, Wen Qingshan stepped forward to take a look, only to find that the door was intact without any marks.
Wen Qingshan couldn't help but said in surprise: "My Dragon-Severing Slash is made of black iron. It can be said to cut iron like clay. How come I didn't even leave any traces on this door!"
I couldn't help but sigh: "I think the reason why the Nine-Headed Insect didn't open this tomb was not because it was worried about anything, but because it simply couldn't open the door."
Wen Qingshan pondered for a moment and said: "Although the hope is not very high, we should look for it first. Maybe our luck is better than that of the nine-headed worm and we can find the mechanism to open this door."
Wen Qingshan and I searched carefully around the door, but after searching for a long time, we found nothing.
I said a little discouraged: "The Nine-Headed Insect has almost hollowed out the entire mausoleum. If they had really turned on the mechanism, they would have discovered it long ago! So let's not waste our efforts. Let's go and kill the dragon tomorrow."
Once they are called, they will definitely have a way to open this stone door."
I turned around and was about to walk back when Wen Qingshan suddenly grabbed me.
I turned around again and saw him staring at the huge dragon head on the door in trance.
"Boss Wen, what else are you looking at? This dragon head is well carved, but the problem is..." Before I could finish my sentence, Wen Qingshan interrupted me: "Have you noticed that this dragon's teeth are special?
"
Hearing what Wen Qingshan said, I stared at the dragon's head and took a closer look. The dragon's head had two dragon teeth exposed at the corners of its mouth, but one of the dragon teeth was recessed. In fact, I had already discovered this just now.
One point, the entire dragon capital is slightly protruding outwards, and only one dragon tooth is sunken inward. Although I felt strange about this unusual situation, I didn't think much about it. In my opinion, this should be just a carving.
It was just a small mistake made unintentionally by the dragon head craftsman.
However, Wen Qingshan didn't think so. He felt that the sunken dragon's tooth should be intentional, and it was most likely the key to opening the stone door.
He pondered for a while, then suddenly seemed to think of something, turned to me and said: "Shi Yu, take out your dragon teeth!"
I couldn't help but be stunned: "Why do you want dragon teeth?"
Wen Qingshan said: "I want to give it a try. Maybe your dragon tooth is the key to opening the stone door."
"How is this possible! Your statement is too outrageous!" Although I said it was impossible, I still took out the dragon tooth and handed it to Wen Qingshan with the intention of giving it a try.
Wen Qingshan took the dragon tooth and pointed it at the sunken dragon tooth on the dragon head pattern. He slowly stretched out his hand. Through intuitive comparison, I discovered that my dragon tooth and the dragon tooth in the dragon head pattern were different.
Regardless of size or shape, the dragon's teeth are almost exactly the same.
The moment Wen Qingshan inserted my dragon tooth into the depression just right, I was completely shocked. What was going on? Could it be that the dragon head pattern on the door was based on the shape and size of my dragon tooth?
Carved?
I was just feeling puzzled when I heard a "boom" and the door slowly opened.
Unexpectedly, Wen Qingshan actually told me that the dragon tooth in my hand is really the key to opening this door!
And I immediately understood why the cult members had never entered this tomb. In fact, it was not because they were concerned about the evil things in the tomb that were difficult to deal with, but because they simply could not open the door!
I was surprised and happy. I never thought there were such coincidences in the world.
