Chapter 045: Opening the Tomb Gate (Thanks to "Mo Xiaoxi" for the tip!) )
Senior Sister Bai Ma glanced at him, and said lightly: "Okay, don't waste time, that Wu Donghai used to be a person from the Old Nine Sects, and his ability to find dragon points was not bad in the first place, and now he has already prepared, we must be ahead of them, otherwise this trip will be in vain!" ”
"Still running?" Ma Yan was already tired enough just now, and now he heard that he was going to continue walking, and he looked weak.
"If you're not interested in the money in the tomb, we can stay here with you for a whole day." Senior sister said lightly.
It was still the senior sister who touched Ma Yiyan's fate, and when she mentioned the large amount of gold in the ancient tomb, Ma Yiyan immediately looked like a corpse, and she opened her arms and rushed out first.
The senior sister smiled and pursed her lips and followed.
In fact, I am still thinking about what Ma Yiyan and Senior Sister just said, about the five heavenly pieces mastered by each door of the Five Gates, and the shocking secret that the Five Gates have been guarding for many years.
A shocking secret? What kind of secret would that be?
There was another thing that I was even more puzzled about, I quickened my pace to catch up with Senior Sister, and asked softly, "Senior Sister, what is that thing we saw just now?" ”
I still have a vivid image of the terrifying figure hiding in the bushes on the other side.
Senior Sister asked softly, "What do you say?" ”
I gasped.
Senior Sister's words are already obvious, the thing I saw just now is really the so-called unclean thing!
It seems that the name of the ghost mountain in this Wanguan Mountain is by no means in vain.
After nearly an hour of walking, suddenly, a loud explosion was heard in front of me.
"Boom!" There was a loud bang, and there was a huge commotion in the woods, and all the birds in the woods were frightened and flew out, and a flock of black and oppressive birds rushed over the woods.
"What's going on!" The horse couldn't help but scream at a glance.
A bad feeling flashed in my heart, "Could it be that Wu Donghai and the others have already found the location of the tomb." Did they want to blow up the tomb with a bomb? ”
Although explosives are often used in coal mines to blow up mountains and open mines, the sound of the explosion comes from the direction of the back mountain, but the coal mine of Wanguanshan is in front, and there are no other mines behind Wanguanshan.
Senior Sister shook her head, "Something is not right!" Wu Donghai used to be a person from the Five Daomen, his kung fu is definitely not weak, and he is a southern school known for his meticulous kung fu, they generally don't take such a brutal way to open the tomb, they just need to make a hole in the robbery. Don't...... What happened? ”
"Maybe they're afraid we'll have the upper hand, so they're in a hurry?" I spoke my mind.
Ma Yiyan frowned and said: "The location of the explosion is not far from us, it should be less than a kilometer, let's hurry up!" ”
This time I forgot the tiredness of my body at a glance.
We didn't dare to delay, and hurried at full speed in the direction of the explosion.
Finally, the black smoke from the explosion in front of me was close in front of me.
I saw that there was an extra hole in the open space in front of us, and the soil dug out of the hole was still fresh, and it must have just been dug not long ago.
Senior Sister could see at a glance a strange pattern carved on the trees around the entrance of the cave, she walked over and stroked the mark on the tree, "This mark has been engraved here for a short time, it should be a mark left on purpose." It seems that Wu Donghai is right, Lao Jiumen has really been paying attention to this bad ghost cave for a long time! ”
I took a closer look at the surrounding trees, and found that only the eight trees in the eight directions of the cave entrance were engraved with markings, and these eight directions corresponded to the eight hexagram positions of the eight trigrams. These were not just markers, but also pointed out the direction where the tomb was located so that it could be pointed out to those who came after them.
This old Jiumen really put a lot of thought into this bad ghost cave.
Immediately, the senior sister walked to the side of the cave, kneaded the soil with her hands, and then looked into the cave again.
Senior Sister suddenly said: "No, this hole was not made by Wu Donghai and them!" The hole was not blown up, it was dug with a shovel, and the explosion did not happen outside, but inside the hole! ”
I couldn't help but be a little puzzled, the sound of the explosion just now was so loud, if it happened in the hole, the sound should be relatively dull, it shouldn't be so loud.
What's going on here?
Senior Sister continued: "Even if a few people work together, it is not so easy to dig such a deep hole, we set off with Wu Donghai about the same time, and they definitely don't have that long to dig such a deep hole." ”
"In that case, Wu Donghai and they should still be behind us." Ma said with a glance.
Senior Sister nodded, "It should be." But it shouldn't be too far, let's hurry up, the people in this cave don't know where it is sacred! ”
Immediately, we cleaned up a bit, and then jumped into the hole.
Before entering the cave, Senior Sister stopped me, then looked at me with her watery eyes and said, "Wait a minute, I'll walk in front, you follow me!" You're in this kind of place for the first time, and there are those uninvited guests, so you have to be careful! ”
I didn't expect my senior sister to be so cold to me, but at this time she would say such warm words, looking at my senior sister's face, I almost wanted to wander again.
I hurriedly nodded and said sincerely, "Thank you, senior sister!" ”
At this time, the horse behind him said impatiently: "I said, why are you two so grinding and chirping like falling in love!" If it goes on like this, you won't be able to grab the hot ones even if you eat! ”
I was so disgusted by the horse's words that I almost didn't throw up.
However, the first half of Ma's first sentence still made my ears burn.
The senior sister turned her head and glared at Ma, her eyes were so cold that they seemed to hide an eternal iceberg that had not melted for years.
Ma Yan seemed to be quite jealous of his senior sister, so he hurriedly closed his mouth in fright, and his body couldn't help but retract back.
Entering the hole, the space inside is not as narrow as expected, and lowering your head can barely let us through.
It was dark underneath the entrance to the cave, and we took out our flashlights to illuminate the cave.
I saw that on both sides of the cave there were even tree roots sticking out.
The hole is sloping down, and we go down the slope.
After walking about ten meters away, a closed stone gate was finally revealed below us, and the space in front of the stone gate was relatively large.
When we came to the stone gate, the foot was already paved with stone slabs, and it looked like it was the entrance left over from the previous construction of the tomb, but it was sealed with earth after the tomb was built.
Ma Yan touched the stone door in front of him with his hand and said, "These people are really, why do you have to close the stone door when you go in?" ”
The horse groped around the stone door, looking for the mechanism to open it.
"Hey, it's strange, why can't I find the mechanism, how did this stone door open?" The horse was at a loss for a moment.
At this time, the senior sister suddenly shouted softly to Ma Yiyan who was walking around: "Ma Yiyan, don't move!" ”
At first glance, Ma thought that he had stepped on some deadly mechanism, and he was so frightened that he never dared to land on one foot again.
I also thought that the horse had been hit at a glance, and immediately became nervous.
Senior Sister continued, "Now, you slowly walk down this stone slab. ”
Ma Yanyan carefully walked down the stone slab where we were standing, and returned to the soil at the entrance of the cave.
Later, the senior sister said, "You come up again." ”
Ma Yan looked confused, and according to the meaning of the senior sister, he walked on the stone slab again.
The senior sister pressed her ear tightly against the stone door, and then let the horse walk down again.
Ma Yiyan shouted unhappily: "Miao Yi, when is this, you still have the heart to tease me!" ”
Senior Sister said with a serious face: "Whoever has the heart to tease you, hurry up and go again!" ”
Ma had no choice but to follow the meaning of the senior sister and go through it again.
I also followed the example of my senior sister, and put my ear to the stone door and listened carefully to the movement inside.
As soon as Ma walked away like this, I couldn't help but be surprised, and looked at my senior sister with wide eyes and surprise.
Just as the horse was walking up and down the stone slab under our feet, I clearly heard a "creaking" sound from the inside of the stone door.
There's a mechanism on this slate!
The senior sister had obviously discovered the mystery, and she said softly: "The mechanism that opens this stone door is on this stone slab, and it should be opened by gravity." ”
"Gravity on?" Ma Yan exclaimed.
The senior sister explained: "When you went up and down the stone slab just now, there was a sound inside the stone door, indicating that there was a transmission device between the stone door and the stone slab. To open this stone door, a certain amount of gravity is required. ”
"But there are only three of us, how can we do it?" Ma asked with a glance.
It occurred to me that "if we put a sudden pressure on this slate, it might also be able to trigger the device under the slab and open the door as well." ”
"Then let's try it!"
Immediately, the three of us walked down the stone slab together, and then jumped up and jumped onto the stone slab.
However, the slate did not react at all.
"Is our gravity not enough?" I was puzzled.
"Try again!" Senior Sister said with a resolute face.
At this time, I saw my senior sister take a deep breath, obviously accumulating strength.
My sister made a gesture towards us, and all three of us jumped up again at the same time.
This time, I suddenly heard a rumbling sound from the stone door, and the stone door was really open to both sides, but the gap in the opening was very small, only enough for the width of an arm.
"One more time!" The senior sister saw the dawn of victory and became more determined.
We were about to try again, when suddenly we heard a voice behind us, "If you don't want to become hob meat, it's better not to try again!" ”
