Chapter 105: The Tomb Cave

The thought came to me and then quickly disappeared, and I didn't even dare to think about it anymore.

The dead were drowned in sand, and we climbed up along the rope one by one, their physical strength was good, and their speed was very fast, and the first one to go up was the foreigner.

When he went up, he stood at the mouth of the cave and shot a flashlight downward, and when it hit us, I realized that I was a long way behind them.

I couldn't get used to the feeling of my feet on the stone wall and supporting my body for a long time, and with the soreness and numbness in my arms, I felt more and more strained, and my speed became slower and slower.

Looking at the two people in front of me who were gradually moving away, the scene in front of me was in a trance, and I felt as if they had become other people.

That's me and Baizhou and Liu Ran, in front of them, it's the light, is that the exit? Maybe it's a way out of the darkness.

The light began to shake, are they going to leave me?

It was as if a strong current of water had rushed into my heart, and when a huge shock hit, I subconsciously dodged, but when I closed my eyes, the darkness miraculously disappeared.

Under the gaze, it was still the slender wire rope, its heavy capacity was very high, and the weight of the three of us together could not break it.

Eventually, the light grew closer and closer, until a hand reached out to me, and I took his arm without hesitation.

At this moment, the content that I had stored in my heart before, constructed from various aspects, finally fell into pieces.

Through the light, I accepted the other party's reminder and denied my previous conjectures about him, but I did not deny my own cognition.

In this indirect identity change, I am like a puppet controlled by subjective consciousness, and I identify with the changes that occur in these few minutes.

Back up, I could look down on almost all the holes, which looked like countless blood vessels in my body, but only a few of them were flowing with blood now.

While packing up our things, we made a brief introduction, which was actually simple, because only I told the foreigner about my identity, and the masked man didn't say a word.

I wasn't really interested in his identity, and I asked politely.

This foreigner, Ham Jakes, studied and worked in China when he was young, and then met Li Sansi at a chance party.

What they have in common, in addition to the relationship between employers, is also the unity of thought, because Ham's biological mother used to be an idealist, and he was more or less influenced by his elders, and he longed for this mysterious oriental country very much, until he came to China as he wished, and received many mysterious things.

While talking, we left here, and in the midst of small talk, Li Sansi also told me about this place.

Their understanding is complicated, because the project here is very huge, except for those parts that are far away, all the information that is known so far comes from a restoration work of the family tomb more than ten years ago.

Almost all of the people who participated in and advocated for the work died, and until the death of the previous patriarch, very few people knew about the restoration project.

All this was originally an old thing, but this matter was discovered by Li Sansi, and after the death of the master, he found a notebook, which recorded all the contents about the restoration project.

It was these that made Li Sansi change the covenant he had been doing before, because there were too many incredible things buried in that clan tomb.

Those things should not be forgotten, because they were once part of us.

After many contacts, things began to get closer step by step, but when I asked where the drawings came from, he directly rejected them and said that he had no idea how he was in his room.

All this was done under the guidance of the Prophet, and if the Prophet had told him that someone had already put the drawings in his room, then the matter would not have been so complicated.

In the end, that drawing became the biggest and most critical suspicion at present, because even Li Sansi did not know its origin.

Li Sansi only told me that after the death of the previous patriarch, the drawings also disappeared mysteriously, and they have never been found again.

There is this idea, to the very reasonable, because when the patriarch of this term, there was a restoration work in the mausoleum, if because of this restoration, and the secrets in the mausoleum are leaked out, the tomb that the clan has guarded for nearly a thousand years is afraid that it will be stolen and excavated, and even there will be great fluctuations in the clan, so the drawings are brought into the mausoleum by the patriarch to block, it is indeed necessary.

However, everything is hypothetical, no one can see it with their own eyes, the only person who knows is the deceased not so long ago, and the other party seems to be tired of everything and will not say anything.

Everything about the patriarch is only buried in the memory of this old man in his last years, and there is no way to know.

But the appearance of that drawing changed this rare quiet.

Who would be the one who sent the drawings?

Thinking like this, I was a little absent-minded, and I didn't leave the person in front of me, but the other party suddenly slowed down, and I almost crashed into the masked man.

When the black iron box appeared in front of me, I felt a flash of light in my mind, followed by a shadow.

"Could it be Jiang Yuchen?" I said in my heart, thinking about the identity of this person, and all kinds of possibilities, and even saw this name in that notebook just now.

Corresponding to this name, it is a boy who looks a little timid, but as Li Sansi's apprentice, will he also play a different role like his master not long ago?

I thought of this possibility, and immediately asked Li Sansi a few words, but the other party thought about it before answering, "I forgot, there seems to be such a person!" ”

His ambiguous answer made me scratch my head, "And the deceased, do you think he has anything to do with that apprentice of yours?" ”

The other party looked back at me suspiciously, "You have seen him, why do you think it is him, and this deceased, how much do you know about them?" ”

I didn't know how to answer, so I could only retreat, "If Jiang Yuchen is your apprentice, it is entirely possible for him to give you the drawings, but the purpose is not clear, as for understanding, I am just out of suspicion!" ”

I can't tell how this suspicion appeared, maybe it was because of the notebook, or because he was Li Sansi's apprentice, but he took the initiative to contact Baizhou, as if he had ulterior motives.

I didn't think much about the appearance of this person at first, but now it seems that it is not simple.

Li Sansi didn't answer, maybe he didn't think about it either, or maybe he didn't pay attention at all, all his attention was following the prophet, but he was slacking off on the people around him.

The appearance of the drawings means that the tomb of the patriarch may have been stolen, but who could this person be? I don't know, because I can't be involved in them at all.

Aside from this, Li Sansi became more closely connected to the Prophet, so when I asked him about what else he received after his death, he was also at a loss.

It wasn't until I asked about those photos that he suddenly remembered something, and his expression suddenly became serious, but when I continued to ask, he was directly rejected by the other party, saying that these things had nothing to do with me, and asked me not to ask again.

I knew my current situation, and looking at the endless hole, it seemed that there was really no need to ask him these questions now.

Here, it is unknown whether we can get out alive, not to mention that these are Liu Ran's affairs, and it would be more appropriate for her to ask.

Turning the subject, I asked them how they had dug up the hole under the tomb, intentionally or unintentionally.

Li Sansi was still recalling what happened just now and ignored me, while Ham next to him replied, saying that they started digging according to Li Sansi's discovery at the beginning, but when they dug inside, they found a huge space.

At first, everyone thought it was a tomb, but soon realized the difference in distance, and it was impossible for them to dig such a shallow distance.

Because there were no drawings at that time, they could only tentatively dig forward, but after digging for a long time, they found many passages in it, but the strange thing is that they always turn around along these passages and return to the original place.

After discovering these, everyone thought that this was built when the mausoleum was restored, and the protective structure on the periphery of the tomb could not be found along the bright road.

Therefore, everyone chose to dig another passage by themselves, but strange things happened in these newly dug passages.

The first group of people excavated along the fork in the passage, and there were also special people in charge of exploration to assist in entering, while mapping the length of the cave into the tomb and the discoveries found on the way, so as to determine the location of the tomb.

But digging and digging, the men never came out, and when the others searched along the passage, they found only their tools on the ground, but the man was gone.

Knowing that the road would not work, the second group continued to excavate on the basis of what they already knew, dodging the traps, and finding someone to make a sketch to determine the terrain of the place.

But as it went deeper, the traps here were also discovered, and as a result, people continued to be tricked, disappearing into the robbery hole along with the quicksand.

However, in the thief hole of the quicksand, no one can find those people, all that can be determined is that the quicksand will wash people into the space one layer below.

After that, Li Sansi came back and used that drawing to continue digging inside, but inadvertently dug out a way to go out.

But after digging through, the quicksand around them was poured down at once, but fortunately they dodged in time and were not buried by the sand.

A large amount of quicksand poured out of the hole, sealing off the entire hole, and finally it was buried from the outside, and everyone returned the same way along a predetermined route.

But if this continued, they couldn't find the entrance at all, and in order to increase their speed, Li Sansi decided to look for those traps, and there might be a passage into the tomb in the traps.

But as they gradually deepened, they found that the terrain here was extremely complex, and the whole space was like a huge maze, with countless holes one by one.

Once you decide to go down to the first hole, you should never return to your original position, because the surrounding sand will flow from a high place like seawater, trapping anyone who enters it.

But the only way to enter the tomb was the traps, and only the patriarch knew how to enter the tomb through the hole, and how to go deep into the tomb without causing quicksand or destroying the mechanism.
