Chapter 725: A Narrow Encounter
Although the pictures on the stone wall are old, they are still vivid, as if they take us into that ancient era.
I seem to be able to see Dayu's heroic figure wearing a robe, holding a water control tool, and leading everyone to fight against the flood.
These pictures not only gave me a deeper understanding of Dayu's exploits, but also gave me a better understanding of the historical background of this monument.
After some discussion and research, I gradually found some patterns, and these patterns and words seem to be arranged in a certain order, pointing in a certain direction.
We suspect that this may be the entrance to Dayu's tomb, or a passage to the depths.
In this way, it was found that the entrance to Dayu's tomb was actually in the same place as the secret entrance found by the lone wolf.
It seems that we need to go through that forest to find the real entrance to Dayu's tomb.
Now that we have deduced that the entrance to Dayu's tomb may be located near the secret entrance found by the lone wolf, we will no longer waste time here, and rush directly to the place where the lone wolf found it.
Halfway through, Qin Yujie and I each took out a backpack and handed it to Lone Wolf and Lei Zi to carry on their backs.
There was some food and water inside, as well as essential household items, spare batteries and other supplies.
Lone Wolf and Thunder took the backpack, and the four of us set off together, heading towards the secret entrance that Lone Wolf had discovered.
We maintained a high level of vigilance and caution during the journey, and Lone Wolf used his experience in topographic surveys to guide us to avoid possible danger areas.
We are always in formation to ensure that we can react quickly in the event of an emergency.
After a long period of trekking, a few of us finally came to the vicinity of the hidden entrance where the lone wolf had discovered.
It is a dense forest with strong trees and lush foliage.
We carefully walked through the forest, trying not to make any noise so as not to alarm possible beasts or other dangers.
Led by the lone wolf, we quickly found the exact location of the secret entrance.
It is a cleverly camouflaged hole, and it is difficult to detect its existence without looking closely.
We carefully observed our surroundings and made sure there were no traps or traps before carefully opening the hole.
The entrance to the cave slowly opened, and a cold gust of wind blew from within, mixed with the smell of damp earth and the indescribable smell of antiquity.
The four of us exchanged a determined look at each other, and then entered the mysterious cave in turn.
No one saw that after we entered the entrance of the cave, a man dressed in black and carrying a long black knife walked not far away.
Before coming to the entrance of the cave, there was no expression on his handsome face, as cold as a zombie.
"Hmph, Feng Lin, this is not entering Dayu's tomb at all, this is specially prepared for you."
"If I don't show you the portrayal of Dayu's water control, how can you believe that the place where the pattern is guided is real?"
The glow of the flashlight drew a bright trail of light in the darkness, illuminating our path.
The lone wolf walked in the front, his steps steady and powerful, obviously adapted to this environment.
Lei Zi followed closely behind the lone wolf, his eyes shining with curiosity and anticipation.
Qin Yujie and I walked side by side, supporting each other and facing the unknown ahead.
The space inside the cave was not very spacious, and even a little narrow, and we had to bend forward.
On the surrounding walls, faint frescoes and symbols can be seen, which seem to tell ancient stories, but are too old to be recognized.
However, from the brushwork of the depiction, as well as the general image of the pattern, it is very similar to the engraving of Dayu outside to control the water.
As we went deeper, the air inside the cave became more and more oppressive, as if an invisible force was restraining our breathing, and I had to slow down and move cautiously.
Suddenly, the lone wolf stopped, and he shone his flashlight in front of him, only to see a stone gate blocking our way.
The stone door is carved with more intricate patterns and characters, apparently as if it were an ancient seal.
I heard Lei Zi say: "Xiaolinzi, why is there still a stone gate?" I've been depressed since I entered here, and I always felt like something was going to happen. ”
"I'm the same way, my mood is always hanging, I feel like there's danger lurking around me."
Qin Yujie also said carefully: "Brother Feng, is this road really leading to the imperial tomb of Dayu?" ”
When Qin Yujie asked like this, I also suddenly realized, and I glanced around again and found a strange question.
"Something is wrong, it's broken, Leizi, you haven't seen antiques less, and it's been more than two years in succession."
"Knowledge must be visible, do you see if there are some new carvings in these murals?"
Lei Zi was also puzzled, maybe there was some darkness around him, and he didn't observe it so carefully.
After staring at a stone carving for a while, he immediately blurted out: "That's right, this is obviously not thousands of years, at most only a few months, there is a problem here." ”
Listening to what Lei Zi said, I couldn't help but feel a tense in my heart, which really confirmed my guess just now.
If these frescoes and symbols were carved recently, then this hidden entrance is likely to be a trap rather than a real passage to Dayu's tomb.
Lone Wolf's face also became solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "It seems that we have to be careful, there may be hidden danger here." ”
The four of us re-examined our surroundings, trying to find some clues, and our minds became tense.
Suddenly, I noticed that the patterns and words on the stone door were different from the previous patterns on the stone wall, and seemed to be more complex and profound.
"The patterns and texts are different from the previous ones, and we need to re-examine them." I pointed to the pattern on the stone door.
The four of us gathered around and began to study the patterns and words carefully.
After some hard work, we finally found some new patterns, but these patterns don't seem to point in a certain direction, but more like a warning or hint.
"These patterns and texts may be telling us that this entrance is not safe and that we need to be careful." Qin Yujie analyzed carefully.
Since I found the problem, I immediately said to the three people: "I have been tricked here, and it should have been done by the last group of people who came in." ”
"I'm afraid there won't be any value here, and it's not even a real passage into Dayu's tomb at all."
It was pitch black in the passage, and Thunderson and Lone Wolf flashed flashlights, illuminating the road ahead.
Just like that, we kept the formation, Lei Zi and the lone wolf in front, and Qin Yujie and I in the back, moving forward step by step.
Suddenly, a strange sound came from the depths of the passage, and we immediately stopped in alarm.
Thunder and Lone Wolf immediately stopped and exchanged a look with me, and from my nod, I knew I heard it too.
I don't know what it was sent from, and once again I decided to face this unknown danger together.
We gripped the tools in our hands and carefully walked in the direction from which the sound came.
As we went deeper, the voices grew louder and our hearts beat faster.
Finally, we came to a large space, where we saw a man in black standing, holding a pitch-black sharp knife in his hand.
"You're finally here."
The man in black said coldly, "I knew you were going to come here. ”
The words of the mysterious man in black made the four of us look at each other, and our hearts couldn't help but tighten.
Who is this man in black? Why is he here? What is his purpose?
"Who are you? Why do you want to stop us from entering the tomb of Dayu? Lei Zi asked with some vigilance.
The man in black sneered and said, "Dayu's tomb? It's not the place you should go, I'm here to protect the secrets of Dayu's tomb. ”
