Chapter 244: The Ghost Returns
The rock formations in the vicinity were so hard that it would be difficult to chisel through them even with a steel drill, so we didn't dare to delay and climbed up the rock wall so that even if the water came over, it wouldn't drown us.
The gap was very narrow, and it took us nearly ten minutes to climb three or four meters, but the strange thing was that the water didn't flow, either the water source was cut off, or it seeped out somewhere, anyway, it was a good thing for us.
Lao Hai didn't give up on the thief hole, he saw that the water didn't flow over, and ran down again, using the steel drill that the seventh master gave us before to chisel the stone walls on both sides, but it backfired, which was in vain.
"Hey, you two come down and help!"
"Don't bother, if you can chisel it, the bear can climb the tree!"
"What do you understand? This is called the spirit of foolishness, and I don't believe that this stone can be harder than iron! "Old Kaido.
"People are digging the soil, but you are digging big stones, can it be the same? Besides, these are all granite, which is inherently harder than iron! The fawn gang said.
We saw that Lao Hai no longer spoke, and a person was digging where his head was, so we couldn't help but feel some sympathy, and we also climbed down to help.
"Talk less, do more!" Lao Hai muttered.
But this stone is really hard, even if we chisel until next year, it is impossible to chisel through, Lao Hai is also a tendon, if you don't understand what despair is, he will not stop.
We worked as coolies, and we chiseled like this for four or five minutes, and there was no progress, and just as we were about to give up, we suddenly felt a tremor around us.
"I'll go! What a situation! β
I looked around, and I felt that the ground was shaking, and there were still broken stones falling overhead, but fortunately we were in a better position, with a protruding stone platform on top of it, and there was not much threat.
"It can't be an earthquake, is it?!" Lao Hai shouted.
"Don't talk nonsense, you crow's mouth!" I scolded.
At this moment, the shaking stopped, and there was a sound of rock cracking in my ears, and I followed the sound, and I saw that where we had just chiseled, a half-foot-thick slab rock had fallen, and the distance between the two sides was much larger in an instant.
"Oh my God, such a good thing?"
"It seems that there was a slight tomb earthquake just now, and someone opened the door of the main tomb!" Xiaolu said righteously.
"Is it the Seventh Master?!"
The fawn shook his head, a little unsure.
We glanced at the thief hole outside, and then looked at the distance on both sides, the width is just right now, even Lao Hai can pass through smoothly, and we climbed out excitedly.
This robbery hole is a little rough, all around it is full of broken soil, and after the tomb earthquake just now, a lot of earth chips have fallen and scattered all over the ground.
"It shouldn't be the Seventh Master, it's impossible for him to make a thief hole in such a short period of time, so it's likely that Uncle Li and them did it!" Xiaolu analyzed.
"In other words, Li Wuchang has already entered the main burial chamber?" I was a little surprised, although Li Wuchang's purpose was to stop Jiao Siye, I always felt that the person next to him, the person who looked exactly like me, was very suspicious, and when we met, he whispered "Help me!" I think it's weird no matter how you think about it.
Xiaolu seemed to see my doubts and comforted: "Don't worry, they don't have a jade pendant, it is impossible to open Xiantan, and it is not certain that Xiantan is in the main tomb." β
With that in mind, we went out, and now it was imperative to make sure we were able to get out safely, and then go back to the main burial chamber to see what the men were trying to do.
We climbed some distance and came across a vertical passage that was supposed to be the entrance to the thief's cave, and the height was not high, so we climbed up with all our might.
At first I thought it was night, because it was dark outside, and I couldn't see anything, but when the light of the flashlight swept around every corner, I couldn't help but feel a little dazed, this is a simple platform, still open in the interior of the mountain, surrounded by debris and garbage, it seems that someone has been here for a long time, and there is a hole in the stone wall on one side, which extends to the depths.
"It seems that this thief hole is very long, and it was completed in sections." Fawn Road.
He stepped forward, observed around the cave for a moment, then turned and continued, "They must want to dig directly into the main burial chamber so that they can avoid all unnecessary dangers!" Hmph, it's indeed the style of this group of people! β
"So, are we going to go out and have a look?" I asked.
"No need, the ghost knows how long this hole is, it's not good to divide it into ten sections, and when we go back, I'm afraid people will run away a long time ago, or they will die!"
So we climbed back along the thief hole, which was a slightly downward inclined tunnel, so it was relatively easy for us to climb, about a distance of tens of meters, and there was a detour in front. It was a small gap dug around the wall, big enough for a person to pass through, and they must have penetrated it directly to the tomb door in this way, so they should be behind the wall by now.
We cautiously crept over, crossed a bombed hurdle, and came to a graveyard, lit with candles on the left and right, and our shadows swaying at our feet.
In order to avoid being exposed, we hid on the side of the door and looked in through the crack in the door, because of the limited viewing angle, I could see a small range, but I did see the back of the person, it seemed to be Li Wuchang, and there were several people standing next to it.
"What are they doing, why can't I see anything?" Lao Hai leaned on my head and whispered.
The fawn let out a "shhhhh
At this time, Li Wuchang moved a few steps to the right, and I was able to see the general situation inside: these people were standing on a round platform, as if it was an altar, in short, it felt a little majestic, and in the middle of the round platform was a trapezoidal tripod, on which there was a huge coffin, which was different from what we had seen before, and it was decorated with complex gold wire patterns, and the four corners were also dotted with Pixiu pillars, and there were copper shelves all around, on which candles were lit.
Looking to the side, there is nothing noteworthy, anyway, I can't see clearly, and Li Wuchang's attention is all on the coffin, so I think it should be something insignificant.
As if they were doing a ritual prayer, they stood on the round staircase, their hands folded, and some strange incantation in their mouths.
After a while, they raised their heads, led by Li Wuchang, and the group worked together to open the coffin, and in an instant, white light shone brightly, emitting a dazzling light from the coffin, stabbing us behind the door unconsciously covering our eyes.
When the light subsided, we rejoined, but we were stunned to see that the tomb was empty, the candles were extinguished, and only the two permanent lamps on the top of the voucher were still on.
"Why did heβWhy did they disappear again?!"
