Let's start with the wall.

If this huge cavern is described as a straight shaft, then the square we have just crossed is equivalent to a small opening next to the shaft.

This small opening has a top and a bottom, and there are edges and edges, the bottom of which is the square full of traps, and the edge and the edge are the walls of the cave full of arrows, and this top, just four or five meters above our heads, the top extends from the cave to the inside, narrower and narrower, and then the wall in front of us connects the top, the bottom, and the edge.

The texture of the walls is much like concrete, there are no gaps, but it is not as smooth as concrete.

Except for the stone gate in the middle, there are no markings on the entire wall, and there is only a set of notches on the stone door that are exactly the same as on the mask.

Interestingly, although the whole stone gate is only about three meters wide, the steps in front of the stone gate extend to the cave walls on both sides, and there are five steps, more than one meter wide and about half a meter high.

"Zimu, why don't I think this is a door!" Qiu Yan stared at Shimen and said with confusion.

I nodded beside Qiu Yan, and I didn't know if she saw it.

In fact, I didn't need Qiu Yan to remind me, I also found this problem: there are indeed seams on the stone door, but this seam is very tight, it doesn't look like it is often opened and closed at all, and there is no keyhole, no handle, and nothing to help open the door.

"Could this be just a mural, maybe there's nothing behind it!" Xiang Wei asked at this time.

"No, I've seen it before, and the ropes in those lampstands are sticking out of the walls, and if you look at the appearance of the lampstands, you can see that there is a section inside." Long Quan replied.

"Maybe it's just a decoration, dig the hole a little deeper, you can add more lamp oil, right?" Xiang Wei is still not giving up.

"I think there must be content behind this, otherwise, why build such a big square? And those mechanisms, aren't they just to prevent others from entering? I retorted.

Xiang Wei glanced at me and stopped talking.

At this time, more than a dozen people who had been left on the edge of the square also touched it, and they all sighed at the bizarre and magnificent nature of the wall.

Suddenly, Qiu Yan tiptoed and shouted:

"Look, under the door!"

We quickly got to our feet on our toes.

I looked down the door and finally understood why Qiu Yan was so excited.

It turned out that at the foot of the door, several obvious cracks could be seen, and those cracks were cracked, as if they had been smashed by some heavy object.

"This is the door of death!" I said to myself.

"Or rather, a dead gate!" Qiu Yan added.

When I heard this, I immediately looked up the door, and saw several deep scratches behind several huge stalactites, which were hidden in the shadows, and would not have been found unless I had looked at them on purpose.

"Look there, this door has slipped down from above!" I said, pointing to the scratches.

"It seems that this is really not a gate, but a permanent floodgate!" Xiang Wei sighed.

"I remember that some large mausoleums would set up such a gate at the exit in order to prevent the burial people from escaping, and when the owner of the tomb was buried, the gate would be lowered, but I had never heard of such a large gate!" Qiu Yan said.

"Is this really a mausoleum?" I asked.

"There are mechanisms and gates, all of which are in line with the characteristics of large mausoleums, it should be!"

After listening to Qiu Yan's words, I thought for a while, and then asked:

"And who is the owner of the tomb here? It can't be Peng Da Worm! ”

Qiu Yan shook her head and said:

"It's hard to say, when Peng Da Keyi died in prison, his family must have packed up his body, maybe after collecting the body, he will be buried here!"

I suddenly had a feeling of revenge, and immediately rubbed my fists and said:

"That's great, I'll show you how I whipped his corpse later!"

Qiu Yan listened to my words, her face immediately changed, she took my hand and said:

"Zimu, we don't know the truth of the matter yet, besides, I have already explained before, we are not here to rob the tomb, I hope you can be sensible!"

I scoffed:

"The truth? Isn't the truth obvious? Peng Da Worm wanted to usurp the throne, so he launched a war, killed Peng Yonglie's father and son and did not stop, and finally wiped out the big family in Jiling! ”

"Although this seems to be the case on the surface, there are still many doubts in it, such as the sacrificial ceremony mentioned in the book, and why the big insect Keyi buried Peng Yonglie in Lin Feng Farm, etc., if these doubts are not clarified, it is impossible for you to know the truth of the year!"

I didn't listen to Qiu Yan's words at all, the facts were clear, and she still wanted to persuade me, I knew she just didn't want me to destroy the mausoleum.

Of course, I don't bother to reason with her, anyway, what I want to destroy is not a mausoleum, it's just the bones of Peng Da Worm Keyi, and I don't plan to bring it out, I think, when the ending is decided, Qiu Yan won't say anything!

At this moment, suddenly there was a sound from the stone gate, exactly the same as what I had heard before, I wanted to say it at that time, but I was stopped by Long Quan.

Originally, after a series of events, I no longer remember this voice, but when I suddenly heard it again, it startled me a lot.

It wasn't just me, I noticed that everyone else heard the sound and all took a step back.

Although there were two dozen people standing next to me, and four bright oil lamps behind me, I found myself so scared for the first time in my life.

Think about it, in this cave that has been sealed for hundreds of thousands of years, in this cave where there is no one and has been in darkness all along, suddenly find something moving, and this thing is still behind the stone gate that we regard as a mausoleum!

It's either a ghost or a corpse!

"Don't be afraid, it may be that the movement just now shook inside, and this sound is just the sound of small pebbles falling!" I pretended to be calm and comforted the people.

"You better comfort and comfort yourself, what are you shaking!" Xiang Wei glanced at me and said.

I looked at Long Quan, then at Qiu Yan, and asked:

"I~~shake~~ shake?"

Qiu Yan smiled and said:

"It's okay, it's not shaking too much!"

I quickly cheered up, only to find that except for me and Long Quan, everyone else had a relaxed face.

Only then did I realize that none of the people except me and Long Quan had heard the previous sound, so they took my words of comfort to them seriously.

Only me and Long Quan know that there is something strange behind this sound!

"Zimu, I don't think there is a mechanism on this step, let's go up and take a look!" Qiu Yan said to me.

Actually, Long Quan and I have already checked the steps, no problem, but I don't know how to answer Qiu Yan at this time.

"Qiu Yan," I thought for a moment and said, "Let's let them go back first, there won't be so many people here!" ”

Qiu Yan looked at me after hearing this, with a face full of incomprehension:

"Why don't you use so many people? Don't you need a human hand to open this stone door? ”

I was in such a hurry, so I quickly pulled Qiu Yan and Long Quan aside, and then told Qiu Yan what I heard before, as well as my worries.

"Why didn't you say it earlier!" After listening to my words, Qiu Yan asked.

"Be quiet!" I quickly glanced at the crowd, and when I realized that they hadn't noticed us, I continued, "Did you scare everyone away by saying no?" Even if you don't scare them away, you have to scare them! You listen to me, return everyone, let's slowly find a way to open the stone gate, and if there is danger at that time, so many people will not flee at the same time! ”

Qiu Yan still understands this truth, and immediately persuaded Xiang Wei to take everyone back, saying that everyone has worked hard, and only a few strong people need to be left, and everyone else will go back to the camp outside, if you are really not at ease, go and guard the luggage, and when you are rested, you will come to replace us.

Xiang Wei naturally didn't do it, but he couldn't help Qiu Yan, and was finally persuaded to go back.

After Xiang Wei left with the people, there were only six people in front of the stone gate, in addition to me, Qiu Yan and Long Quan, there were also three more clever people.

We cautiously climbed the steps and groped around the stone gate.

At this time, the dragon who had been checking near the lampstand cried:

"Brother He, Mr. Qiu, come and have a look!"

When we heard that, we immediately surrounded us.

I saw Long Quan pointing to the small hole in the lampstand and said:

"You see, this was blocked later!"

Long Quan said as he tugged at the wick.

I told the dragon to get out of the way, then folded a glow stick and reached inside.

I saw that the small hole was four or five centimeters inside, and it was blocked, and the thing that blocked the small hole was very similar to the thing on the wall next to it, and it looked like it was flowing from the wall into the small hole.

But the hole wasn't completely blocked, and the wick was still moving, but we didn't dare to pull it hard, and I was worried about what kind of mechanism it was.

"Why don't you light it up?" I suggested to Qiu Yan.

Qiu Yan seemed to hesitate, she gritted her teeth and thought for a while, and said to me:

"You are the team leader, you have the final say!"

I looked around at the others, and they all looked at me.

I gritted my teeth, then pulled out my lighter and lit all four lampstands.

At first, there was no reaction from these lampstands, but when the flame touched the oil in the lampstand along the wick, the lamp oil actually "soared" and burst into flames.

Originally, I thought that the oil in it was ordinary lamp oil, and there was no combustible, and these oils would not catch fire, so the flames came out coldly, which really scared me.

"Holy, is this gas?" I couldn't help but curse.

Who knew that as soon as I finished speaking, I heard a noise from behind the stone gate, and it was like a strong wind blowing inside.

"There's a fire inside!" Qiu Yan put her ear to the stone door and said.

"No, it's supposed to be the lamp lit!" Long Quan interjected.

"What? What do you mean? I asked.

"Hey, in fact, I should have thought of it a long time ago, in fact, this is the same as our current switch, this wick is like a switch, the oil in it is equivalent to a wire, let's light the wick, and then the oil will transmit the fire to other lampstands, which is equivalent to us turning on the light inside here!"

Long Quan's words make a lot of sense, isn't it like this in many movies: in a dark cave. , the protagonist lights an oil lamp, and then the fire runs after the ditch next to the cave, and finally lights up the entire cave!
