Volume 3 Chapter 68 Underground Secret Chamber

The stone gate is monolithic and cannot be pushed or pulled. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 From the outside, it should be the kind of ancient mechanism stone door that needs to be touched and pulled up. There was a brass oil lamp on the left and right sides of the stone gate, but it was now dry, and even the wick was gone.

Lu Ming stepped forward and took the torch to look up and down the stone gate, left and right, and then looked at the wall next to him, and said, "Is this the handwriting of your Zhuge family or the handwriting of the Chen family?" ā€

Zhuge Wei stepped forward to take a look, looked at it carefully for a while, and shook his head, "I don't know." ā€

Lu Ming sighed and said, "I thought you knew, so we knew how to get in?" He looked back at Mao Xiaotian, who was still observing, and said, "Xiaotian, have you found anything?" ā€

Mao Xiaotian shook the two copper oil lamps on it with the spotlight flashlight in his hand, and said, "Maybe you can start with these two guys." ā€

Lu Ming and the others looked at the light and nodded at the same time. So far, I have only seen these two things that can open the door at the door, and there are no objects on the walls or doors that can open the door like a mechanism.

Lu Ming handed the torch to Zhuge Wei and was about to move the copper lamp. Zhuge Vicky pulled him and said, "Be careful. ā€

Lu Ming nodded to him and touched the copper lamp on the left. The copper lamp was fixed, and Lu Ming shook up and down, left and right, and did not move when he rotated. Then he touched the bronze lamp on the right, and it was still the same.

The three of them sighed at the same time, "It doesn't seem to be a copper lamp." ā€

Lu Ming took the torch in Zhuge Weich's hand and said, "Let's continue to look for it separately!" ā€

Mao Xiaotian held a small box in one hand and a flashlight in the other hand and walked towards the wall on the left. Holding a paintbrush in one hand and a flashlight in the other, Zhuge Wei walked towards the wall on the right. Lu Ming continued to observe carefully at the position of the door.

All three of them reached out and knocked on the walls and doors, trying to find something different.

Lu Ming knocked on the door and came to the conclusion that he really couldn't start from the door itself, so he could only knock on the wall next to the door.

More than ten minutes later, the three of them gathered in one place, and they all saw that they had no clue about each other. Lu Ming leaned back with a torch, rested against the wall, and knocked on the copper lamp with a torch in his hand. After knocking for a while, he suddenly noticed that the bronze lamp seemed to have been knocked into the wall a little by himself with a torch.

So, Lu Ming raised his hand again and grabbed the copper lamp and pressed it hard, although it was very resistant, but the copper lamp was really pressed in, but the door did not change much. The three of them suddenly look at me, and I look at you.

Zhuge was stunned for a moment, stepped forward, and pressed another copper lamp into it.

The three men stepped back, watching the door change. At this moment, there seemed to be the sound of gears rubbing, and then, the stone door moved, and all the dust on it was shaken off. The stone gate slowly went up, and it seemed that something had dragged it up, and this should be the stone gate mechanism.

The stone door opened, a pungent smell overflowed, and the three of them hurriedly continued to hold their breath. Lu Ming saw that the torch had become much smaller because of the smell, and after a while, the torch was extinguished.

Taking out their flashlights, the three of them stood at the door, not in a hurry to get in. After a while, Lu Ming asked Zhuge Wei to light the torch and throw it in. The torch decreases in the chamber, but is not extinguished.

The three of them glanced at each other, gestured, nodded, and walked inside. The fire decreased because the poisonous gases in the air still existed, and the three of them gestured not to speak, but to act when the opportunity came.

The moment the torch was thrown in, it hit a table in the middle of the secret room, so everyone just saw the situation near the door of the secret room.

The three of them walked into the secret room, Lu Ming walked to the torch, picked up the torch, looked at the platform in front of him, and then walked towards the wall of the secret room. There are several fixed extinguished torches hanging from the walls of the chamber, which seems to have been a long time. Lu Ming used the torch in his hand to light all the torches around the secret room, and the secret room suddenly became bright. Only then did the three of them fully see the situation.

The walls are covered with frescoes, all of which are relatively old and seem to tell stories. The space of the secret room is not very large, only more than 200 square meters. There is a high platform in the middle, where the torch has just hit. At the front of the chamber, opposite the door, is another door. Under the door, there was a skeleton leaning there, dressed in a Taoist robe, and it was in tatters.

Lu Ming didn't observe the mural on the wall, but walked over to the skeleton and squatted down.

The method of bone examination recorded in the "Collection of Grievances" played a role at this time. Lu Ming carefully examined the dry bone. The skeleton had obvious marks of being cut by a sharp weapon, and the person's sternum was also shattered. From the skull, it can be determined that the person is male. The length of the skeleton can be judged to be of medium height. From the skeleton, it can also be determined that the age of this person, middle-aged, about forty years old. The white color of the person's bones, combined with the scars on the bones, can be determined that the person died of serious injuries and did not commit suicide or poisoning. From the fact that he was wearing a Taoist robe, and there were obvious traces of being cut by a sharp weapon on the Taoist robe, Lu Ming could be sure that this person should be the Huang Feng Zhenren who was killed by the disciples of Longhu Mountain that they were looking for again.

Feeling some smell in the air, Lu Ming withdrew his breath. opened his mouth and said, "This is the real person Huang Feng we are looking for." ā€

When Zhuge Wei heard this, he walked over quickly, and Mao Xiaotian didn't continue to observe the mural and walked over.

"He's Huang Feng's real person?" Zhuge Vic pointed to the bones.

Lu Ming pointed to the marks of the sharp weapon on the bones of the corpse and said, "From the scratches of the sharp weapon on the bones of his corpse, it can be determined that he experienced a great battle before his death, was stabbed through the body by a sword, and injured the bones, and then from the fragmentation on his sternum, it can be seen that his chest was seriously injured by a punch from someone with extremely high internal strength." He was wearing a Taoist robe, male, and middle-aged, with a medium build, all signs could indicate that he was the Huang Feng Zhenren we were looking for. If Chen Jiaao didn't have another seriously injured Taoist priest looking for this secret room, it would be him. ā€

"He died here, and you were right." Mao Xiaotian said.

Zhuge Wei squatted down, rummaged through the bones and robes for a while, frowned, looked at Lu Ming, and shook his head.

Lu Ming also frowned, and wondered, "How could it not be?" ā€

"You say, will it be taken by the disciples of Dragon Tiger Mountain?" Zhuge Vicky guessed.

Lu Ming didn't answer immediately, stood up, stroked his chin with his hand, paced back and forth, thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "It stands to reason that it won't." The disciples of Longhu Mountain were looking for Huang Feng Zhenren by the order of the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, for the honor of Longhu Mountain, in the name of killing the thief. What's more, they are far away in Longhu Mountain, and they shouldn't know about Huang Feng's real person and seal. Huang Feng came here before he died, and it was obvious that the seal should still be in his hand at that time. But why not? ā€
