The Red Gate Lord didn't seem to expect that Bai Yang would actually have the same idea as her, so he couldn't help but be stunned, and said, "I really didn't expect Bai Xiao'er to have such an idea!"

Poplar nodded and said, "Why don't we leave two people in the tomb, and the others retreat outside and close the stone door?"

The lord of the red door was about to agree, and Qu Xiangdong asked, "What do you mean by the two, can you explain it clearly?"

The red door master looked at the others, and saw that Ding Lingling and Chen Xiaopang seemed to have understood, but Qu Xiangdong and his two companions were full of doubts, so they said: "What I mean with Brother Bai is that if you want this floor to open, you have to close the stone door first! In the same way, once the stone door is closed, this floor will close, which can make the people above fall down, but there is no way to let the people below come up!"

Qu Xiangdong didn't seem to be a person with a bright brain, so he pondered for a long time before turning around and said: "If it's really like what the Red Gate Lord said, if you open the stone door, the floor can't be opened, and if you want the floor to open, the stone door has to be closed, then what's the use of this mechanism?"

"I can't say it's useless!" the Red Gate Master patiently explained, "I found two small holes in the stone door before, and I didn't understand what they were used for at the time, but now it seems that they should be used to communicate with the people inside! Close the stone door first, and the floor passage will be opened, and when you are done with things, come up from below, and then hand over the message to the person outside the stone gate, and ask him to help open the stone door and go out!"

Qu Xiangdong opened his mouth and said, "This, this, this...... It's hard to imagine, isn't it? Who set up this mechanism, it's simply unheard of!"

"Yes, I haven't encountered it before!" the red door master sighed softly, "But since Brother Bai and I have the same opinion, then we might as well give it a try! Why don't I stay in the stone gate, and the others exit the stone gate first, and then please close the stone door and see if the passage on the floor will open automatically, how about it?"

A few people have no opinion. Ding Lingling said, "I'll accompany the Red Gate Master inside!"

There are seven of them, only the Red Gate Lord has no companions, but the Red Gate Lord is the one who initiated the request for help, if she does not take the initiative to stay in the tomb, the others will definitely worry about whether there will be any changes in the stone door if the stone door is closed.

But once the stone gate is closed, something really happens, and the people who stay outside may not be willing to risk their lives to reopen the stone gate to rescue the red door master.

Therefore, Ding Lingling took the initiative to ask to stay inside to accompany the Red Door Master, which was actually a reassuring pill for the Red Door Master. Because as long as Ding Lingling is also in the stone gate, no matter what happens, Bai Yang and Chen Xiaopang will not be able to leave her alone.

How could the Red Gate Master not understand what she was thinking? She couldn't help but be full of gratitude, so she smiled at Ding Lingling, walked out of the door first, told Bai Yang the location of the valve that opened the stone gate, and then returned to the stone gate with Ding Lingling.

Poplar squatted down and pulled a stone brick in the corner, and sure enough, with a "squeak" sound, a heavy stone door slipped out of the wall on the right side.

Ding Lingling and the Red Door Master stood inside the door, standing close to the edge of the door frame, neither of them looking outside the door, but staring intently at the inside of the tomb.

Poplar was inevitably frightened, for fear that something would happen inside. Fortunately, until the stone door was completely closed to the left door frame, there were no exclamations from inside.

After that, Poplar looked carefully on the stone gate, and sure enough, at a height of more than a meter, he found two very small holes.

Poplar leaned close to the hole and looked inside, and found that there was a light flickering inside, and it was obvious that these two holes penetrated the stone door entirely, and it was indeed like it was specially set up for the purpose of communication.

Bai Yang stood up straight and waited for a while, heard a voice coming from inside, and hurriedly approached the two small holes to listen carefully, Ding Lingling's voice immediately entered the eardrums.

"You can open the stone door!"

Poplar hurriedly agreed loudly at the two holes, and then squatted down to the corner of the door, stretched out his hand to pull the stone brick, and the stone door made a "squeak" sound again, and slowly slid to the right.

Without waiting for the stone door to completely disappear into the wall on the right, Ding Lingling first drilled out of the door hole and said, "Yes, as soon as the stone door is closed, the passage on the floor inside will be opened, and as soon as the stone door is opened, the passage will be closed immediately!"

The Red Gate Master also came out of the door hole and said, "Let's discuss who will stay outside the stone gate and wait for us to come back!"

"This is easy, just let my brother Wang stay outside!" Qu Xiangdong said, reaching out and patting one of his two companions on the shoulder, "Brother Wang, you stay outside, there is no danger outside anyway, the key is to be patient, if not, you can sit down against the stone gate and take a nap, and call you when we come out!"

"Okay!" the surnamed Wang immediately nodded, "This is an easy errand, but I can't follow the eldest brother, and I hope that the eldest brother and the third brother Sun will be cautious!"

"We don't have anything, a large group of people!" the surnamed Sun smiled, half-joking with the surnamed Wang, "It's you alone outside, don't let the female ghost take away!"

"We often go in and out of the tomb, what kind of female ghost are we afraid of! It's good that a female ghost is here, you can tell me jokes!"

The one surnamed Wang followed and joked. Probably the Red Gate Master and Ding Lingling were there, but he didn't dare to say too rude jokes.

Poplar hurriedly taught the man surnamed Wang how to open and close the stone door, and then several people all entered the door, and stood in a row against the edge of the door frame.

The one surnamed Wang activated the mechanism from the outside, and as the stone door slowly closed behind him, everyone in the door stared at the floor beneath their feet.

The floor did not move at first, until the stone door was completely closed, and only a "click" was heard, and less than a foot from their toes, the whole floor suddenly sloped downward, revealing a large gap.

The gap was empty on both sides, except that in the middle there was a steep staircase no more than a meter wide.

In other words, if someone is standing on the floor, they will fall to the floor on the next floor unless they are standing on the stairs when the floor flips over on its own.

Luckily, if you look down, you can easily see the ground below, which should be about three meters deep. People like them who have practiced kung fu will basically not be injured even if they don't beware of falling.

The Red Gate Master breathed a sigh of relief, because judging from this situation, the elders and disciples in her sect should all be intact.

The stone steps were extremely steep, and several people followed each other cautiously down the stairs, only to see that the existence was a space more than five meters wide and seven to eight meters long.

The floor of the space is inclined upward, and the two sides are paved with bluestone slabs, and the stone slabs are carved with fine stone patterns.

But in the middle of the staircase, there is a passage paved with white marble, about two meters wide, and the top is painted with exquisite reliefs.

Take a closer look at the reliefs, which are some dragon and phoenix motifs. And the dragon and phoenix are ancient royal symbols, which is equivalent to proving that this tomb must be the tomb of the emperor.

A few people carefully checked the ground to make sure that there were no mechanisms on the ground, and a group of several people walked up the white marble passage with dragons and phoenixes, and soon came to two red lacquered wooden doors.

But the two wooden doors do not close completely, but open a crack.

The Red Gate Master couldn't help but smile and said, "This should be the core dungeon!" It seems that the elders and disciples of my sect have removed the mechanism and entered the dungeon!"

The wooden gate was also set according to royal specifications, and it was about the same size as the gates of the palaces in the Palace Museum.

And on top of the wooden door, it is filled with huge copper nails, and there are two tiger-shaped door rings.

Because of the age, the copper nails have been covered with green rust, but the two tiger head knockers are yellow and look like they are made of pure gold.

Qu Xiangdong touched it with his hand, and said with brilliance on his face: "It is really made of pure gold, just these two knockers, they are worth a lot of money when they are removed!"

He is an inverted fighter, so he is naturally tempted when he sees something valuable.

Bai Yang looked at his eager appearance, for fear that he would immediately remove the two knockers, and was busy opening his mouth to stop it, Chen Xiaopang said coldly: "We are here this time mainly to rescue the disciples of the Relics Sect, I think Master Qu should not be too open-minded!"

One sentence suddenly made Qu Xiangdong's face flush.

The master of the Red Gate knew that Bai Yang and the other three were from the archaeological team, and he couldn't see them stealing and destroying ancient relics, for fear that a few people would quarrel soon, so he hurriedly said: "Everyone, don't be impatient, let's find the elders and disciples in my sect first!"

Qu Xiangdong snorted heavily, reached out and pushed hard against the wooden door.

With a "squeak", he immediately pushed the wooden door open inside. The Red Door Master then stretched out his hand and pushed the other wooden door open as well.

Several pillars of light were immediately thrown into the door, and the first thing I saw was that the door was full of gold and brilliance.

Qu Xiangdong's companion surnamed Sun cheered and said, "It seems that this is really the core underground palace, I didn't expect us to enter here so smoothly!"

"It's because the Red Gate Lord and the others have cracked a lot of mechanisms, otherwise ordinary people may not be able to enter here!" Chen Xiaopang said coldly.

The direction of his words was very clear, and the surnamed Sun also blushed all of a sudden, and said angrily: "How can you kid talk? Why can't you get along with our brother today?"

"I didn't get along with anyone!" Chen Xiaopang replied coldly, "I just want to remind the two of you, we people are invited to rescue by the Relics Gate, don't keep thinking about picking up a cheap one and moving the treasure in this big tomb home!"

"You ......"

The surname Sun was furious, and Qu Xiangdong couldn't hold it back. But before the two of them could come out, the red door master suddenly exclaimed "ah", and ran into the gate in a few steps.

Bai Yang and Chen Xiaopang Ding Lingling immediately knew what the Red Gate Master had discovered, and hurriedly followed in.

Leaving Qu Xiangdong and the surname Sun angry, he was stunned for a moment before chasing in.
