Chapter Seventy-Four: The Burial Chamber
By the time he realized it was too late, the door was closed, and there was no way to open it from the inside. After taking a closer look, Fang Zhong found that this was a secret room, which was impermeable, and there was no exit at all, except that there was a hole on the ground in the middle of the secret room, it could not be an exit, and there was a river leading to the backwater below, how could it be an exit!
Fang Zhong strode to the pit, and then the faint blue light emitted from the secret room took a closer look, there was water in the pit, and the water seemed to be very clear. A rectangular object could be faintly seen underwater, with nine thick iron chains wrapped around it, suspended in the water. Taking a closer look, Fang Zhong felt a tingling on his scalp, the rectangular thing was like a big coffin, and when he suddenly saw a coffin in this confined space, everyone would be scared.
"What did you find?" Li Ting and the two girls stood not far away and asked.
Fang Zhong didn't dare to tell them what he saw, for fear that they would be afraid, so he said to them: "Nothing, this is a well, it seems to be connected to the dark river below, let's look and see if there is any other exit!"
So a few people began to grope on the wall to find it, Fang Zhong told them: "This place is too strange, such a big wall can't have only this secret room, I guess there must be a mechanism here, everyone look for it on the wall."
Fang Zhong didn't say anything, after seeing the coffin, he understood a little, this place was like an ancient tomb that people often say. If it is really an ancient tomb, there must be many burial chambers in it, and the owner of the tomb will even create some traps to prevent people from robbing the tomb, so that the tomb robbers will die on the spot.
Generally, most of the people who can build such a large tomb are either rich or expensive, and maybe there are valuable things in the tomb. But Fang Zhong was not interested in those things, he understood the truth of dying for money, at this moment he just wanted to take these three girls out safely, and had no other thoughts.
A few people fumbled on the wall for a while, Chen Lili seemed to have found something, she said to a few people: "Come here, it seems to be empty here."
Fang Zhong hurriedly ran over, Chen Lili gently tapped the wall with the back of her hand, making a thumping sound, which was different from the sound made by the walls in other places, and it was obviously hollow inside.
Fang Zhong asked a few people to retreat, clenched his fists, and smashed it down with a punch, and suddenly the blood on the back of his hand flowed, and the wall shattered in response, and the inside was really empty.
Wu Xinyi hurriedly tore off a piece of cloth from his body and helped Fang Zhong wrap his hands around. A few people came to the wall to take a look, and there was an oval thing in the wall, which should be made of bronze, and there were mountains and rivers carved on it. Fang Zhong grasped the oval thing and turned it slightly, and suddenly there was a shaking in the tomb, and a door slowly opened silently.
"Sure enough, there is a mechanism!" Fang Zhong saw that there was a way out, and hurriedly beckoned a few people to walk towards the door. When passing by the coffin, Fang Zhong also deliberately glanced at it, and in a trance, he saw that there seemed to be a white shadow in the water under the coffin. Seeing that several girls had already walked into the door, and the door was slowly closing, Fang Zhong hurriedly ran over.
After entering the door, the door was completely closed, and the tomb in front of me was much larger than the one just now, and there were actually two stone doors in this tomb. One on the left and one on the right, the door is carved with many strange patterns that make it unpredictable.
Fang Zhong motioned for a few girls to wait in place, and he approached the stone gate on the left, carefully observing the patterns on it. After looking at it for a long time, he didn't understand what it was, so Fang Zhong tried to open the door, but it took a lot of effort to shake it at all. So he had to come to the stone gate on the right, and tried again, but it still couldn't be opened, there was no guard on this door, the stone door seemed to be connected with the wall, and there was no place to borrow power!
So Fang Zhong had no choice but to give up, beckoning a few girls to look around again, maybe these two doors were just decorations, used to deceive people, but in fact, they couldn't be opened at all.
The few men groped along the wall again, but this time they didn't find any mechanism. Fang Zhong began to feel a little headache, this door could not be opened, and there were no other organs, could it be that there was no door here at all, the purpose was to trap the tomb robbers here!
The more he thought about it, the more he felt a headache and his heart was numb, he thought of Li Ran again, this girl who has always taken care of him in every way, he didn't think that half an hour ago, several people were still together, but now they are separated by yin and yang! Fang Zhong took Li Ran's dress, inevitably seeing things and thinking about people, thinking about it, and once again silently shed tears.
A few people sat down against the wall to recuperate, Fang Zhong clearly understood that the air in this tomb could allow them to live for a few more hours at most, and if they couldn't find an exit after a few hours, they would not starve to death, but would also die of lack of oxygen!
Wu Xinyi sat down leaning on Fang Zhong, lowered her head and said to Fang Zhong, "I'm sorry!"
Fang Zhong glanced at her, he didn't mean to blame, the situation was urgent at that time, and he couldn't completely blame her. If you can go out this time, you must report the news of this ancient tomb to the police, and then these black-scaled sharks will be taken out for people to exhibit!
"You don't blame me, do you?" Wu Xinyi still said with some apologies.
"I don't blame you, I just hate myself for being useless!" Fang Zhong took a deep breath and said.
Wu Xinyi smiled slightly, leaned her head lightly on Fang Zhong's shoulder, and said, "You know, you are the bravest boy I have ever seen."
Fang Zhong's face flushed, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, since he grew so big, this was the first time he had intimate contact with other girls except Li Ran. At this moment he blushed a little, and wanted to push the girl away, but he couldn't bear it, so he had to pretend that nothing had happened, and let her fall asleep on his shoulder.
Feeling the passage of time underground, Fang Zhong guessed that it should be the second half of the night at this time, and several people ran out in the middle of the night, and they were all sleepy at this time. Li Ting and Chen Lili snuggled up to each other and fell asleep, while Wu Xinyi also leaned on her shoulder and fell asleep. He didn't feel the slightest sleep, thinking about Li Ran, her appearance clearly appeared in his mind at the moment, lingering.
Seeing that Wu Xinyi was asleep, Fang Zhong carefully pushed her away, stood up, and walked to the two doors. He was unwilling to sit still, since these two doors would be so eye-catching here, there must be a problem!
He stared at the patterns on the two doors for a long time, and suddenly made a new discovery. The patterns on the left door are all mountains, and the right door is all rivers, could the answer be on these two doors?
