Chapter 214: Shimen Handprint
Wu Zhiyuan leaned over again to look at the bones in the Fang Ding, and saw that there was a hole in the door of his head just above his skull, which seemed to be caused by being hit by a sharp weapon.
"Isn't he trapped here?" Wu Zhiyuan looked at the hole in the door of the skull and asked, this question was just blurted out, the dead man's skull had been hit with a heavy weapon, which already clearly explained the situation at that time.
At that time, the tomb robbers who entered this stone room were not just one person, it was very likely that there were two or more, and several other people had murderous intentions for some reason against the people in this square ding, taking advantage of their unpreparedness to seriously hit their heads, and then dumping his body in this square ding.
If there were more than two of them at the time, it would not be impossible to leave the stone chamber through the cave at the top. The top of the stone chamber is not high, and one person can climb into the cave above as long as he steps on the shoulder of the other.
In this way, the only way to get out of the stone chamber is the cave above.
With this in mind, Wu Zhiyuan told the Moon Shadow Fuxian what he was thinking, and then asked, "With your cultivation, can you reach the height of the thief hole above if you rise from the ground?" ”
Moon Shadow Fuxian looked up at the thief cave at the top, then looked around the stone room, his eyes fell on the bronze Fang Ding in the center of the stone room, and replied firmly: "I'm afraid it won't work to jump up on the ground, if you step on the Fang Ding and jump over, it's definitely no problem." ”
Wu Zhiyuan looked at the position of Fang Ding and the top hole, Fang Ding was located in the center of the stone chamber, and the thief hole at the top was located in the south of the stone chamber, the distance between the two was not close, he definitely did not have the ability to step on Fang Ding and jump diagonally to grab the entrance of the thief cave.
After looking at the relative position of Fang Ding and the thief hole, Wu Zhiyuan's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, and he called stupid, since Fang Ding and the thief hole are not on the same vertical line, why not push Fang Ding down the bottom of the thief hole, that Fang Ding has a chest-high height, and he can reach the thief hole above by stepping on Fang Ding.
As soon as he said his thoughts, Moon Shadow Fuxian also called himself a dead brain. The two hurriedly began to push Fang Ding, Fang Ding was very heavy, and it took him half a day to push less than a foot away.
However, at this moment, Wu Zhiyuan noticed that after Fang Ding was pushed away, a dark deep hole was revealed on the ground, and he glanced at the Moon Shadow Fuxian, and he leaned over to look inside at the entrance of the cave.
The cave was pitch black, but a faint light could be seen at the bottom of the cave. Moon Shadow Fuxian was about to burrow into the hole, Wu Zhiyuan grabbed her, the situation inside was unknown, this time he would not let Moon Shadow Fuxian take any more risks.
This hole is vertically downward, looking at the distance of the light at the bottom of the cave, it does not seem to be very deep, Wu Zhiyuan guessed that this hole is very likely to lead to another tomb.
Thinking about it, he put his feet in, and then climbed the hole with both hands, and his whole body hung in the hole, and as soon as his hand was released, he fell directly into the hole. Since he didn't know the depth of the hole, he fell on his back after landing, but fortunately he was not injured, and he got up with a roll and looked around first.
Sure enough, this is not an exit, but another tomb, there is a sarcophagus in the tomb is very conspicuous, at first glance at the sarcophagus, Wu Zhiyuan couldn't help but be startled, and thought it was the tomb of the previous Emperor Murong De, but after a closer look, he found that it was not, because there was an arched stone door in the corner of this tomb.
"Moon Shadow, come down." Wu Zhiyuan looked at the cold sarcophagus on the side, raised his head and shouted softly upward.
Moon Shadow Fu Immortal responded, and his figure fell, and after landing on the ground, he stood firmly and did not fall.
"There's a sarcophagus here!" When the Moon Shadow Fuxian saw the sarcophagus in the tomb, his face showed surprise.
"Don't go over!" Wu Zhiyuan grabbed Moon Shadow Fuxian's arm, "We have to find a way to get out, don't make any extraneous branches." ”
Moon Shadow Fuxian nodded, and the two walked to the arched stone gate together, Wu Zhiyuan kept groping around the stone gate, if this stone gate was controlled by the mechanism, the mechanism that opened the door would definitely be around the stone gate.
But after looking for a long time, I didn't find it, and I thought to myself, isn't this stone gate controlled by an institution?
Thinking of this, Wu Zhiyuan looked at the structure of the stone gate again, there was only one stone gate, which was embedded in the stone wall, so the stone gate should be pushed forward directly, so he motioned to the Moon Shadow Fuxian to push the stone gate together.
With almost no effort, the arched stone door "boom" flipped to the right front, and at the same time, a "boom" sound sounded behind the two, Wu Zhiyuan looked back, only to see that with the opening of the stone door, the coffin lid of the sarcophagus behind him was automatically lifted.
Wu Zhiyuan and Moon Shadow Fuxian glanced at each other, although they didn't want to make any extraneous branches, but at this time, the sarcophagus had already been opened, and if there was really danger inside, it would be impossible to dodge, so they walked slowly towards the sarcophagus together.
Walking to the front of the sarcophagus, the two looked down, all of them showed doubts, the sarcophagus was actually empty!
The two looked at each other, but they didn't expect that there would be an empty coffin here. It is expected that it was used as a concubine for burial, and as for why it was abandoned, there may be some unknown reasons.
Finally a false alarm, the two of them let out a long breath, turned around and walked towards the stone gate, just through the stone gate, the stone gate made a loud "boom", and it closed automatically. What's even more strange is that after the stone door is closed, it is tightly connected with the stone wall, and at a glance, there is no trace of the stone gate, as if there has never been a door here.
The two of them glanced back at the location of the stone gate, and secretly sighed that there was such an exquisite mechanism a year ago. Retracting their minds and looking at it, both of them gasped.
I saw that there was another stone room where I landed, and what was puzzling was that this stone room had the same layout as the one opposite the stone door. A sarcophagus sits alone in the stone chamber, with an arched stone door on the opposite stone wall.
"What's going on?" Moon Shadow Fuxian looked at Wu Zhiyuan and asked, even the stone gate is arched, which is really a bit unusual, could it be that this is the same as the previous passage, a labyrinth?
Wu Zhiyuan waved his hand, signaling the Moon Shadow Fuxian not to speak, he walked around the stone room, walked to the coffin again, stared for a moment, suddenly remembered something, turned around and walked to the arched stone door opposite, took a closer look, and couldn't help but be surprised.
"Moon Shadow, come and see!" Wu Zhiyuan stared at the edge of the stone gate and beckoned to the Moon Shadow Fuxian.
Moon Shadow Fuxian was stunned for a moment, and didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly walked over.
"Look here." Wu Zhiyuan pointed to two places on the edge of the stone gate and said.
Moon Shadow Fuxian took a closer look, and was also taken aback, only to see two very distinct palm prints on the edge of the stone gate! The stone door is made of bluestone, the color is blue gray, and the sweat is printed on it, and the imprint of the two palms is very clear, and the sweat is still wet, and you can see that it has just been printed not long ago.
Wu Zhiyuan subconsciously stretched out his hand and compared it with one of the palm prints, and found that this palm print was exactly the same size as his palm!
