Just when the yin and yang slid down the cave one after another, the dozen or so men at the entrance of the cave began to be restless, and the person who was the first to speak just now may have a factor of worrying about the safety of the two, but that is secondary. The main thing is that they are worried that if there is any treasure under this thief cave, it will be swallowed by the people who go down first. These people must have never been fighting under Uncle He, so they naturally know about the underground deeds.

Although Xiuxiu is young, she has also learned a lot from Mrs. Huo. The careful thinking of these people is like a person who penetrates the yin in front of Xiuxiu, and even I can think of the questions, how can Xiuxiu not know, but she still pretends not to hear it, staring intently at the bottom of the cave.

The waiting time is always long, I don't know how long it took, and suddenly I saw a light flickering under the cave, a total of three times. This is a pre-agreed signal, and the light flashes evenly three times to represent that the bottom is safe and can come down. In my concept, if you want people to go down to a deep pit like this, you should first measure the air quality below to make sure that the air is okay before going down. But these people in the rivers and lakes, I can only say that they are masters and bold.

Seeing the signal below, Xiuxiu asked everyone to tidy up their backpacks, bring the necessary food and water, some ropes, medicines, shade equipment, knives, etc., and other equipment and instruments were gathered together and placed in a small pit not far from the entrance of the cave, and simply covered it with branches. When Xiuxiu passed by me, she shoved a knife about a foot long into my hand and told me not to go down and stay on it to answer. Although I knew that Xiuxiu was very good, I still didn't feel at ease that she went down alone with Uncle He, but I couldn't say it directly in front of those people, so I reached out and grabbed her arm, she was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded at me. I guess she must have turned my mind to nothing, but she still didn't let me go down.

Later, I sat at the entrance of the cave and smoked, and slowly I wanted to be white. With my three-legged cat kung fu, I may not be the match of any of the big men here, and if something happens, it is safest for me not to be with them. Although there is a certain risk for Xiuxiu to go down with them, I hold the entrance of the cave, and if there is no rope, even if you have wings, you can't fly. So I guarded the entrance of the cave on it, which was the biggest constraint on Uncle He's gang. In case they have any bad intentions for Xiuxiu below, I will cut the rope when the time comes, and these people will have to be buried together.

I don't know how long it will take for them to come up, or if the people who snuck up with their crossbow bolts will come back. After smoking, I found some branches to cover the hole briefly, and then found a rope, one end tied to the rope leading to the hole, and the other end went down to the equipment. I covered the rope with fallen leaves and dry grass, and I climbed into the gear myself and hid.

At the beginning, I always paid attention to the movements around me, and slowly my eyelids actually fought. By the time I woke up in a daze, it was completely dark. I lay down in my gear, looked around, and didn't see any figures, they had been down for so long, I don't know if they were in trouble.

Later, I heard Xiuxiu say that in fact, after they went down, everything went quite smoothly. There's a lot of space underneath, and there's nothing dangerous except for water in some places and some landslides in some places.

It was supposed to be an ancient tomb underneath, but it had already been emptied. And there has been a large-scale transformation. It should be the dungeon where King Shatuo took refuge last. There was already space for underground tombs, but they hollowed out part of the mountain and connected some underground caves, caves such as Shandong, and if you calculate the area, it may have to be tens of thousands of square meters.

Shatuo Country is not large, and with such a large underground space, it is not impossible for the subjects of the whole country to live in it. At least it's okay to let all the so-called princes and nobles live in it.

The location under the cave was used as an armor storehouse, and when you went down, you could see rotten armor scattered all over the place, and rusted axes, knives, and forks that could only be seen in a general appearance. There is a stone door in the armor storehouse, but it has already been pushed open, and there is a road more than one meter wide out of the armor storehouse. The corridor is so long that you can't shine it with a flashlight. Later, after their exploration, one end of the tunnel led to a cave in the mountain, where they did not know where it ended, and the other end led to the center of the dungeon.

The center of the underground city is a circular stone platform of more than ten square meters, with this as the center, four passages extend in four directions, two of which are the Yongdao, and the two passages that extend perpendicular to the Yongdao are relatively short, estimated to be tens of meters long. There are many rooms in the past, and the reason why they are called rooms and not burial chambers is because the furnishings inside are as if they were inhabited by living people. Decayed and collapsed dressers, large wooden boxes that have almost become slag, and wooden couches with faint outlines in some rooms. Because of the humid climate, these wooden products are exposed to the air for a long time, and there is little value left. But some porcelain vases, clay pots, and a lot of intact, but the number is not much, it seems that it is the daily utensils used by the people who live here, the production process is average, it is not easy to take and is not valuable, it is estimated that it was left here by the people who came in before.

Xiuxiu herself is not here to fight, she is just here to track down some clues about her aunt back then, so she doesn't care if there is anything valuable in it. But the people who came down with her were disappointed when they saw this.

Just as these people were despondent, the woman who was in both yin and yang groped for a secret door on the floor of a room. It is said to be a door, but it is actually a flat bluestone slab floor, and the gap between the stone slabs in the middle is much wider than the gap between the other stone slabs. At first she wasn't sure if she could open it, but she poured some water into the crevice, and it seeped in quickly.

After prying open the surface slate, there is some dirt underneath. The dirt was loose and only had a thin layer. Scraping the dirt open, a round stone the size of a bowl was revealed underneath, the surface of the stone was smooth, and Xiuxiu pressed and twisted the stone hard, but there was no response. It was only after a pair of men who reluctantly pressed the stone down.

As the stone was pressed down, a "rumbling" sound came from the ground. Not far away, a stone wall slowly sank downward.

The reason why it is easy to find the hidden tunnels of the general mechanism is that they have been weathered over time, and there will be shadowy butt marks on the edges of any material. However, the entire stone wall is used as a trap door, and the joints naturally fall in the corners, so no matter how you search the stone wall, you will not find any flaws.

Behind the stone wall is a downward staircase, of course, the staircase is not as wide as the stone wall, only in the middle of the door opened by the stone wall there is a downward passage, and the other areas are still exposed by the stone wall. A group of people streamed in through the wall and descended cautiously down the stairs.

At the end of the staircase is also a stone chamber with many broken ceramic objects. These people in the line who have gone down countless buckets can see at a glance that this should be the ear chamber of an ancient tomb, which is used to put burial goods. As can be seen from the broken ceramics, it is believed that this place is considered to have been destroyed.

Since there is an ear chamber, there should be a burial chamber. Out of the ear room, there is indeed a tomb road dozens of meters long. The walls of the tomb were supposed to be painted with frescoes, but at this time, there were only mottled colors left, and the contents could no longer be distinguished. At the end of the tomb was a stone door, which was already open, and they entered the main burial chamber without much difficulty.

A black coffin on the coffin bed. They took a few steps forward, and the flashlight could already illuminate the coffin very clearly, and the people present were extremely surprised to see the coffin, because they saw that the coffin was actually poured and sealed with molten iron.

The ancients attached great importance to the afterlife, and ordinary people would never allow future generations to bury themselves in such a way. Unless there is a great evildoer, or a person who is sure that the body will rise after death, the coffin may be sealed with molten iron. Therefore, people who have been fighting in the sand all the year round will not easily touch this kind of coffin. One is that it is too cumbersome to open, and the other is that there may be unknown dangers in the coffin. So at this time, it is necessary for the person who is fighting to weigh himself, whether to take risks for money, or to retreat safely.

The tomb had obviously been ransacked, and the coffin was still intact, so there is only one possibility: the robbers did not have the ability to open the coffin at the time, or knew what kind of danger it contained.

Xiuxiu just came down to look for clues about her aunt, so naturally she didn't want to cause more trouble. But those who traveled with him did not want to go home empty-handed. After repeated discussions, Xiuxiu could only compromise and let them open the coffin.
