Chapter 071: Hidden Crypt
Chen Xie was very familiar with this cylinder button, as if he had seen it somewhere, but at this time, his mind was dizzy, and he couldn't remember it for a while.
The fat man behind him was interested, came to the button, and looked carefully, "Dead fat man, have you found anything?" Behind him came the question, and the trumpet looked at the fat man with a sneer on his face. The fat man thought for a long time before responding, "There is something wrong with this pillar, the old man is right, this button must be turned to open." "Dead fatty, you've found this, gone," the horn was speechless. Don't worry, I'm not done yet," the fat man said quickly.
Listening to the fat man's words, it seemed that he had discovered something, and everyone swept their eyes over him, hoping to get a satisfactory answer from him.
The fat man had turned back, his mood began to become solemn, and he said in a low voice, "This column button is estimated to turn seven times." "Everyone is very puzzled, why is it seven laps, not one lap, two laps or something, this is too unreliable.
"!" The trumpet shouted. The patriarch did not respond directly, but thought carefully, what is the purpose of these seven circles? "Could it be the Big Dipper?" The masked man on the side said suddenly. As soon as these words came out, everyone exclaimed, and they already knew what was going on. The masked mouth said that the Big Dipper may be the Seven Stars Tree Pit, in fact, it should have been thought about a long time ago, so that if you return here, the fat man's words will be completely established.
"Patriarch, let's act," Xiao Jian shouted. The patriarch also knew the gist of this, and he didn't dare to slack off, when the patriarch was about to turn the button, the masked man directly interrupted, "Turn right!" "Do you think something is going on again? There was a false alarm, and the masked man said to turn to the right, the intention was that the Big Dipper pointed to the south, and returned to this, and the left and right directions of the button of the gate were also north and south, and they wanted to face south, only to turn to the right.
"Damn, it's so wicked, it's just this," the trumpet exclaimed. Don't say it's him, Chen Xie is also the first time to see such a complicated button, he has never seen such a complicated button when he went to rob the tomb with his second uncle before, if he can't open it, at most, he can directly blow it up with gunpowder and pry it open, and he can't do anything here, Xuan.
All eyes were still focused on the button, and the patriarch, puffing up his breath, began to exert force in his hand, and rotated the button clockwise for seven weeks, and only when it was stable did he let go of his hand. Immediately afterwards there was a loud "cluck-cluck-cluck-" sound, and the stone door stretched upwards, and a bright light shone in, piercing them for a moment. After a long time, the stone gate stopped ringing, and everyone opened their eyes and looked over.
Everyone was frightened, there was no way ahead, could it be that this door was the door of death.
"There's a hole in it!" From afar came the cry of a trumpet.
The others were also puzzled, so they walked into the stone gate, "Look at it! The trumpet pointed to the small hole above. And the white light from before must have come from there. Everyone looked up at the cave, the depth of this cave is not very deep, almost only about 3 meters, and the skills of people like the patriarch and Brother Scar will definitely be able to go up. The cave is well covered, and there are some dead branches above the entrance to cover it, so it is difficult for anyone walking on it to find that there is a hole here.
"I can get out," Xiao Jian on the side said with a smile, it must be a joy to find an escape. "Without further ado, let's get out of here," the masked man also urged.
As soon as they finished speaking, the sound of the stone door sounded in their ears again, "Oh no-" Chen Xie hurriedly turned around and looked back, but it was still a step too late, and the stone door happened to be blocked again. "Hey—I should have expected that," Chen Xie knocked on the stone door and sighed helplessly.
"Chen Xie, what are you anxious about, we have found a way out, and we are afraid that we will not be able to get out," the fat man came over to comfort him. Chen Xie wanted to say something more, but he still didn't speak.
"Scar, I'll go up with you to find out first, you guys keep watch below, if it's okay, we'll put the rope down from the hole. Listen to my commands, and you can go up," the patriarch beside him always admonished.
The others understood what he meant, and the patriarch and Brother Scar went up in only two or three clicks with the help of the edge of the earthen wall, but fortunately it was some earthen walls, and the concave and convex parts of the earthen wall were also very conspicuous, which also shortened the time for them to go up, if it was replaced by a smooth stone wall, it would be difficult to get out.
The patriarch and Brother Scar went out for a long time, and there was no response, and they were all in a hurry under the cave, "Something should happen to the two of them," the horn said worriedly. "I don't think so, maybe they've gone somewhere else to investigate," the masked man thought.
The white-haired old man on the side said, "Brother Yun, it makes sense, I think it's better to wait." The horn was a little unhurried, he kept walking back and forth, "Horn, why are you so anxious, aren't you just waiting," the fat man couldn't stand it anymore and said. The number is not a vegetarian, so he hurriedly said, "Dead fat, I want you to take care of it, damn, I'm worried about them." "Come on, I'm still worried about them, I think, take care of yourself first," the fat man said with a look of disgust. Damn, dead fat, what's wrong with you, you want to do it against Lao Tzu," the trumpet was a little irritated. When the fat man saw him like this, he didn't pay attention to it, and he didn't want to entangle with him any longer.
I don't know how long I waited, and finally there was a sound from above, "It's okay below, there's nothing above, you come up one by one," it was the voice of the patriarch, he and Brother Scar put down the rope, and then everyone climbed up, Mom, although with the help of the power of the rope, it was still very difficult to climb up, and the whole person was tired and collapsed when he climbed to the entrance of the cave.
There was nothing unusual about the outside of the cave entrance, but there were still some tall woods, less than the swamp. Now where they have been, they don't know, Chen Xie clearly remembers, when he and the patriarch discussed together, this place was not shown on the map, and the map was only an approximate location, only knowing that the location of the tomb was near here. It's better to have a map than to fumble around on your own, at least you won't get lost or go the wrong way
This forest is a tidal wave, wet, the fog in the forest is not heavy, but the air is mixed with a fragrant breath, which instantly blends into the nostrils, the smell is fresh, elegant but like the fragrance of osmanthus, let this refreshing breath, but also wake them up
