Whatever the inference, there must be facts to prove right or wrong. Today, my inferences are based entirely on limited information plus my intuition and imagination. Now we have no choice but to put forward hypotheses and then find a way to dig out the secrets inside.

"Brother Nan, if your inference is correct. So what are we going to do now? Linglong looked at me and asked.

yes, what are we going to do. Digging down can't be done at all, just now Ah Shun and Lao Xu touched all the nearby places, and found nothing. Instead of waiting for the rabbit here, it is better to take the initiative to attack, and with a horizontal heart, he said: "Let's go up!"

"Go up?"

"Yes, go up! The stone wall behind it will be closed in a while, so let's sneak up to the elevator and continue to walk up. After saying this, I felt that I was just a "recruit", in this group of people, except for scholars, I am afraid that they are all more experienced than me, and this time the fourth master and Linglong are "palm eyes", so he quickly added: "Fourth master, Linglong, do you two think this is okay?"

Linglong didn't say anything, just looked at the fourth master. The fourth master no longer put on a dumb look, changed to a calm expression, and said in a low voice: "It's okay."

The fourth master's words were orders, and everyone began to pack their luggage. Soon, the stone wall rose subtly with a rumbling sound. Everyone was afraid of triggering the stone rain mechanism, so they could only stand on tiptoe and move towards the elevator. Now there are only nine of us left, and we all have to squeeze into the elevator. I thought that Linglong, the daughter of a big family, would definitely refuse delicately, but I didn't expect Linglong to be very generous, clinging to me without care, and without the slightest twist, which made my impression of her a lot better.

The elevator rises slowly, and no one can predict what will be facing us. Everything is not played according to reason here, and it is no longer possible to think about the problem with common sense.

I was thinking nonsense, when suddenly there was a bang, the car did not move, it should have reached the upper floor. There was still a closed door in front of us. The fourth master and Ah Shun were on the outermost side, but the door was very closed, I don't know if there was something stuck inside, and the two pushed it for a long time but didn't open it.

"Master Xia, Master Xu, Master Han, there are too many people in us, and I and the fourth master can't use our strength. Let's try it outward. Ah Shun said.

We are now like sardines in a can, crowded so close that we can't move, we can only squeeze out. The fourth master and Ah Shun took advantage of the situation to push open the door. The light on these four floors is so dim that everyone takes out their headlamps and turns them on. Compared to the lower layers, this layer is even more special. One is that the area is much smaller, and the other is that the wall is very rough. The scholar smiled and said, "This old boy is quite good at living, and his bedroom is well decorated, but this attic is fooled." Although the scholar is joking, this metaphor is really good, these four floors really look like an attic.

The Cao family is very good at tomb robbing, and the equipment we are equipped with is also very professional. Our headlights are very bright. We kept our eyes on the ground, and there were bottles and cans on the ground, and the workmanship was very rough. Lao Xu picked one up and looked at it carefully, and said: "This is made of simple polishing of stones, not like funeral items, but like water jugs and wine jugs used by ordinary people." Hearing Lao Xu's words, Ah Shun also picked one up and looked at it, threw it aside, and said: "This should be used by the craftsman who built this stone tower, the production process is very low, and the materials are not expensive, and if you take it out, you will sell it for a year's money."

Ali said, "This is not very proper, how can there be a craftsman resting above the head of the tomb owner." Even if the chieftain tribe did not have this kind of burial rule in ancient times, then after the stone pagoda was built, all the daily necessities and things should be taken away, otherwise it would be too disrespectful to their king. ”

The fourth master said: "Search around, since there is this fourth layer, there will definitely be a reason for its existence." Pay attention to safety and beware of the mechanism. ”

Although the area here is only more than 100 square meters, the light is dim, the vision is not good, there seems to be fog in the faint sense, it is difficult to see the overall situation at once, so everyone can only explore separately.

I was in a group with the scholars, and I was in charge of the vicinity of the elevator. The scholar looked left and right on the wall, touched it and found nothing, and said to me in a low voice: "Mr. Xia, you look at the bottles and cans just now, and the Cao guy can't look at it." The Sprinkler family thought about getting two to take out for a while, throwing them in the antique market, and exchanging them for a few dollars. What do you think? ”

I said, "Scholar, why do you think about getting rich all day long, and you lose your money?" It is imperative to find a way out first. ”

The scholar sneered: "Isn't this for a better life and laying a good foundation for the realization of the great Chinese dream." Comrade Marx said that 'the bottom base determines the superstructure', so ......"

As soon as I saw that the scholar was about to speak at length again, I had no time to bother with him, so I hurriedly made a gesture worth stopping, and then went to check the elevator. In fact, from the moment I reached the fourth floor, I kept an eye on the movement of the elevator. On this level, the elevator is stationary for a long time, about four or five minutes, and then it slides down with a rumbling sound, which makes it inferred that this is the top floor of the stone tower.

According to Lao Xu, if the third layer is half-human and half-ghost on the soul jade bed, then there should be no fourth layer. But this fourth floor not only exists, but it also seems to be a temporary resting place for craftsmen, what is going on? Was there no rule at the time, or was there something else? I'm looking for clues and pondering these questions. Suddenly, I heard a low cry from behind, it was Linglong's voice.

Everyone began to run in the direction of Linglong. Linglong saw us coming and motioned for us to look up. Following the direction of the headlight line, a recess appeared on the wall of the north wall, about five or six meters above the ground. The depression is not too deep, and there is a faint figure sitting there, like a Buddhist shrine. The surrounding background light is not strong, and the headlight line is very concentrated, which is easy to be blocked under the corner of the wall, and it is too far away to see clearly. The fourth master and Ah Shun decided to go up and take a closer look.

The two guys of the Cao family took out the anchor hook gun from their backpacks, took out something to replace the flying tiger claws in front of them, and then aimed at the "Buddha shrine" and shot it. Only then did I realize that the hardness of the stone wall here was too high, and the flying tiger claws made of stainless steel could not penetrate it at all, and the replaced sticky things could be easily glued to it. After a minute or two, the two guys tugged hard, said "Okay", and handed the rope to the fourth master and Ah Shun.

The fourth master and Ah Shun quickly tied a knot with the rope around their waists, and then climbed up like a ghost. We stared at them with bated breath for fear of something happening.

"It's a dried corpse, and no anomalies have been found so far." Ah Shun shouted at us.

A few ropes stuck to it, and several of us climbed up. It is a recess with a length and width of about five meters and a depth of about two or three meters. In the center is a dried corpse, wearing a black mask on its face, the mask is very rough workmanship, and in this dark environment, it looks very hideous. The dried corpse's skin was folded and gray, the hair was white, and it was cross-legged, and its hands were located in front of the chest, in the shape of a knot. There is a yellow and white box on the left and right sides of the dried corpse.

"It's ...... It's jade! Ah Shun exclaimed, "It's so rare! What a hard item! ”

Ah Shun is a cadre of the Cao family, and he has been to many ancient tombs and seen too many treasures. Therefore, what can make him exclaim can be seen as a precious anomaly. The eyes of those present widened. After Ah Shun carefully opened the two jade boxes, everyone's eyes were about to fall. I saw that the box was full of pearls and gold, shining under the headlamp, shining with a heart-warming light.

"I didn't expect there to be so many treasures here. The chieftain is really fucking rich! "The scholar is also an uncrowned king, and his voice trembles with excitement.

A few of us stared at the two boxes of glittering jewels with gold glowing, and to be honest, those who had never experienced such a scene could not have experienced the shock at the time. But after all, it was in this weird ancient tower, and everyone quickly adjusted their emotions and calmed down. Now we are facing two problems. First, who is this ancient corpse, why is it here, and has these two boxes of treasures. Second, what to do with these two boxes of treasures.

In fact, only the first question is the real problem. Because according to the current situation, it is a problem for several of us to get out, and these two treasures are very heavy, and in our current state, it is difficult to transport them out. This operation was originally the Cao family's "bag pit", except for clues such as silk books that recorded the "ultimate" secret, all the treasures found belonged to the Cao family, so I didn't take the second question as a problem at all. Linglong was also very decisive in dealing with it, and directly asked Cao to put these two treasures back in their original places, and instructed: "The current situation is special, for the time being, store the treasures in their original places, and then gather more people to retrieve these two jade boxes when we go back smoothly." ”

Now the focus needs to be on unlocking the secret of this ancient corpse. The fourth master had already probed into the cave, squatting in front of the ancient corpse, groping with his hands on the ancient corpse. On the fourth floor, which should not have existed in the first place, in this tattered "attic" that seemed to have not been built, there was such an ancient corpse in the recess of the wall, and there were two boxes of treasures beside it. It's so unusual. Therefore, I have a vague feeling that this ancient corpse will also be unusual. Sure enough, the fourth master suddenly knelt there, bowed three times, and said, "This is Ming Tu!"

I saw that the ancient corpse had a dark green hanging chain turned out by the fourth master around its neck, which was the ancient jade necklace unique to the Holy Dragon clan that marked its identity.

"It's him, how can it be him? This Ming Tu is the high priest of the chieftain tribe, the real powerful person, how can he be buried in such a place? "It's not just Lao Xu, but each of us is so surprised in our hearts.

But the ancient jade necklace can't be wrong, could it be that this ancient corpse is really the proud disciple of the old man of the Holy Dragon Sect and the high priest of the ancient tribe of the chieftain Ming Tu?
