Volume III, Chapter 15: The True Tomb
Chen Zhan looked at the lake that had returned to calm and said: "Think about the dangers we have encountered along the way, there are really enough dangers, each of them will lose their lives if they don't get it right, and we haven't seen the real tomb until now!"
"Hey, I don't know what kind of danger lies behind!" Hu Gang sighed, "But the more dangers there are, the more precious the things hidden in the tomb become!"
Ye Hai said: "But have you ever thought that if there is something extremely dangerous hidden inside, or that demonic qi, we rush in, and if it is released, not only will the lives of the four of us be in danger, but it will also leave a disaster for the future!"
Ye Hai's words were like a basin of cold water poured on the three of them, Chen Zhan was silent for a while and said, "When the time comes, if it is really as Brother Ye said, then let's retreat!"
The four of them took off their dry swimsuits, put them in their backpacks, took out their wolf tooth flashlights, and continued to move forward in the direction of the chain, the four of them gradually left the cave, and the surroundings became dark, and the four of them had to turn on their flashlights to move forward.
At the end of the chain, two stone pillars stood there, and a large pit appeared in front of the stone pillar, and the stone pillar originally had an iron chain to lead to this deep pit, but now the iron chain on the stone pillar has been broken.
The four of them stood in front of the deep pit, and Chen Zhan said: "Hua'an, take a flare and take a look!"
Hua An took out a flare gun and fired a flare at the deep pit, and with the flare playing, Chen Zhan and the four of them also watched closely the direction where the flare fell, for fear that they would not be able to see the situation in the pit clearly.
I saw a flare glowing with green light flying forward, only to hear a "bang" flare exploding in front of me, emitting a white light, and suddenly the entire pit was illuminated, and everything was presented in front of Chen Zhan's eyes.
Under the illumination of the white light of the flares, an incomparably huge underground basin appeared in front of the four of them, and the space was very large, as if it were an underground world.
"It's an underworld!" Hua An looked at the scene in front of him and said in shock.
The basin was covered with a large number of dead trees, and it was hard for Chen Zhan to imagine how this place was formed, and how these trees grew, and in such a dark place, the seeds of the trees could not germinate and grow at all.
Ye Hai shouted, "Look there." ”
Chen Zhan looked in the direction pointed by Ye Hai and saw a vague shadow of a magnificent building complex appearing in the center of the underground basin, but the position of the four people was too far away from there to see clearly.
Hua An asked, "Brother Chen, is that the real burial chamber?"
Chen Zhan nodded and said: "It should be, along the way, every danger encountered is enough to resist many tomb robbers, there is no need to make fake tombs!" The signal went out in the dark
The signal was extinguished in the dark, the four of them approached the edge of the pit, and they felt a gust of wind blowing from the front, blowing the bodies of the four people a little shaking, the wind was blowing up from under the pit, in order to measure how deep the pit was, Chen Zhan took out a light stick, and after the light stick was brightened, Chen Zhan threw the light stick down, and the cold light stick fell straight down, and suddenly became a small dot, watching it keep getting smaller and smaller, and when it fell to the ground, it was almost invisible.
After watching the glow stick fall, Hu Gang was surprised, "Good girl, this is quite deep!"
Chen Zhan took a flashlight to look around, and found that the stone under his feet, although uneven, was very smooth, this was a trace of water washing, not artificially carved, there was water left here before, Chen Zhan thought about it, maybe the lake that the four of them had just passed through before was bigger than now, and there was more water accumulation, and the lake water had been flowing here, in the deep pit below, then this was still a waterfall before.
But now there is no time to think about this problem, Ye Hai said to the three of them: "Prepare the rope, let's go down!"
The four people took out all the climbing ropes in the four backpacks, this pit is really deep, just one person's rope is not enough to go below, the four people tied the climbing rope together, Chen Zhan found that the two stone pillars in front of the pit are still quite firm, and used the rope to spare a circle on the top of the two stone pillars, and fixed the rope on the stone pillar.
Tie a glow stick at the other end of the rope, put the rope down, see that the rope is just able to reach the ground, the rope can bear the weight of four people, the four people are ready to go down, and then use the standard mountaineering steps, step by step with the rope along the edge of the deep pit down, fortunately none of the four people are afraid of heights, otherwise this height must be frightened to the legs and feet weak.
The four of them still came down very safely, and when they came to the ground, the four of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but there was no danger halfway, but occasionally there was a burst of chaos, and the four people kept shaking, and when they came to the ground, Chen Zhan saw that below was a smooth but somewhat sunken stone, the appearance of these stones seemed to be formed by the water flowing down from above, and a small iron chain lay on the ground not far from the four people, it seems that this is the iron chain that the stone pillar above leads down.
Chen Zhan used a flashlight to shine around, and saw a large number of dead trees, the trees were a little black, this was not burned by fire, but the appearance was a little carbonized, and the air was filled with strange smells, but since there was wind here, it meant that the air was flowing, and there was no need to worry about the poison in the air.
Hu Gang looked up at the top and said, "The wind above is really strong, and I almost didn't catch it a few times!"
Chen Zhan looked ahead, only to see that not far from the four people, there was a passage about 10 meters wide paved with stone slabs, and there were two stone tablets in front of the passage, but there were only patterns on it, but there were no words, the direction of this passage seemed to lead to the center of the underground basin, but there were trees growing here, which blocked Chen Zhan's vision.
The four of them walked over, Hua An looked at the pattern on the stele, and said: "I know this stele, this is a carving technique only in the Tang Dynasty, I have entered a Tang Dynasty tomb with my master and sister before, and I have seen the same stele."
Chen Zhan frowned and said, "Tang Dynasty's! Could it be that the identity of the owner of this tomb is from the Tang Dynasty, who is this person, and he actually has the ability to build such a tomb!"
Hu Gang said: "When we enter the tomb, we will naturally know who the owner of the tomb is."
