Chapter 48: A Preliminary Study

It's really hard to find a place to step on iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!

I've been looking for so long, and I met it here today, thanks to the fact that I haven't left yet, and I might have missed it if I missed it for a while.

At this time, the old leader above and others shouted to confirm the situation with him.

Now that so many people are watching, and everyone is watching, Lin Yan can't go to the depths to make further confirmation, so he can only find another time.

Thinking of this, Lin Yan shouted to the top: "Pull me up!"

When the big man waiting above heard this, he pulled the rope and pulled Lin Yan up from under the pit little by little.

As soon as Lin Yan came up, everyone gathered around and stared at him.

It's not that he's good-looking, although he's really handsome. People are mainly interested in what's under the pit.

Lin Yan scratched his head and briefly explained the situation under the pit to everyone, of course he concealed the matter of the mechanism and the ink god machine, but said that there was a wooden puppet underneath.

When the people around heard this, they were immediately a little disappointed, but they were also relieved.

It turned out to be an oolong, this puppet could scare everyone a lot before, now that the truth is revealed at this moment, everyone will disperse and be busy with their own affairs.

After finishing the matter, Lin Yan followed the old leader back to the tribe, and because he made such a show today, his original plan to leave was disrupted, so he stayed for two more days.

When the old leader heard this, he was naturally very happy and gave him a warm reception.

Before you know it, it's night again. After everyone was asleep, a figure in the tribe sneaked out, it was Lin Yan!

The main thing is that what he is looking for is too involved, and it is better to avoid other people.

There was a moon tonight, and under the light of the faint moonlight, Lin Yan galloped forward, and soon came to the edge of the pit during the day.

The rope that had been used before was not taken away, but was tied to a large tree on the side of it.

Lin Yan approached, tightened the rope again, and after confirming that it would not be released, he grabbed the rope and slowly slid towards the bottom of the hole.

Since he had already gone down once, he was very fast, and by the light of the moon, he soon came to the bottom of the pothole.

The wooden puppet was still lying there quietly, but unfortunately it couldn't move.

Lin Yan thought: If he really got the "Thousand Changes", maybe he could try to fix him!

After a brief observation of the surrounding situation, Lin Yan found that the bottom of the pit was not completely enclosed, and there was an inconspicuous hole in the wall on the side, which could only allow one person to pass through.

Lin Yan simply tidied up, took out the fire fold, and blew on it, and a little fire came out.

Lin Yan held it in one hand, leaned down, and crawled towards the cave.

The entrance to the cave was so dark that even with the light of the fire, it was impossible to see how long it was for a while, and the other end of the cave seemed to be connected to the entrance to the netherworld, which made people feel terrified.

Although Lin Yan was not afraid, after all, he was followed by a sword spirit like Qiu Lao, but as time went by, he still did not climb to the end, which made him a little impatient.

Just when Lin Yan was tired of looking at the same dirt in this cave, he suddenly saw something flickering in front of him.

He quickly crawled forward, and it turned out to be some fragments of granite, which just now reflected the light of the fire fold in his hand.

Further on, there was a granite wall in front of it, but now there was a hole in it, and the pieces were scattered in the hole.

The granite was several feet thick, and it was hard to imagine what kind of force could have broken it into such a shape.

Through the broken granite wall, Lin Yan's vision suddenly widened, and the scene that followed made him stunned in place.

Below was a huge stone chamber, and the entrance to the cave where Lin Yan was at the moment was in the southwest corner above the stone chamber.

The stone chamber is four or five zhang high, roughly looking, about 20 zhang long, about 10 zhang wide, in a long shape.

There is an everlasting lamp in each of the four corners of the stone room, and after many years, as soon as the outside air comes in, it automatically ignites, emitting a faint light.

On each side of the stone chamber is a group of "soldiers" armed with spears, which appear to be made of stone.

In the middle of the front position, there is also a neat arrangement of people and horses, in the form of a charge, magnificent, the image of soldiers and war horses are vivid, constituting a particularly oppressive picture.

In the center of the stone chamber was a long sarcophagus, lying quietly, and the soldiers and horses from before it were guarding it.

This is a burial chamber!

After ordinary people died, the most they could do was to dig a rectangular earth pit, make a thin coffin, and bury them on the spot.

After that, only a small earthen bag was left, and a tombstone was erected on it, which read "The Tomb of So-and-so".

If there is a war or famine, there are many people who expose the corpses in the wilderness.

And such a large-scale tomb, the identity of its owner during his lifetime is definitely not ordinary, looking at these soldiers and war horses displayed in the stone room, the owner of this tomb is very likely to be a certain general during his lifetime.

This is most likely a general's tomb!

Although I don't know how the puppet of the ink god machine appeared near this general's tomb, since I came, I definitely want to enter and check it out.

Lin Yan came out of the cave and slowly moved down the wall. The hole that the people of the tribe inadvertently dug before, so that the turbidity in the tomb dissipated a lot, but there was no need to worry about poisoning.

Because this tomb is buried deep in the ground and closed all year round, the interior is not very humid, Lin Yan used his hands and feet together, clasped the wall, and after a while, he slowly fell to the ground of the stone room.

He looked around and saw that the walls around him were made of extremely strong granite, like a stone fortress.

I don't know what those ever-bright lamps are made of, they can still be lit after so many years, and it is precisely because of their existence that Lin Yan can see the appearance of the entire tomb up close.

Just now, I just looked at it above, but now after turning around on the ground, Lin Yan found that this tomb is large, but the furnishings are too simple.

It is said that in a burial chamber of this specification, there must be a lot of valuable funerary goods or something. But there was nothing in this tomb except a coffin, some stone statues, and a few broken lamps!

It's really strange that a huge tomb looks very empty!

Could it be that everything of value is in the coffin?

Lin Yan thought so, and his footsteps unconsciously walked in the direction of the sarcophagus.

He is not very greedy for money, but when he entered Debao Mountain by chance, how can he return empty-handed? Even if you don't take it, it's good to see it!

Lin Yan walked through the gap between the stone statues and walked towards the sarcophagus.

As he moved his steps, he felt more and more wrong, as if someone was watching him secretly, making him feel uncomfortable.

But when he turned around, he found nothing.

He himself wondered in his heart, thinking: Could it be that these stone statues are alive?

Then he shook his head again, how could this be? I may be too tired, so I am suspicious.

Then he continued to walk forward, past the stone statues of the soldiers and horses, to the front of the sarcophagus.

He stepped up the steps and walked towards the sarcophagus. Just as he was about to reach the front of the sarcophagus, suddenly, a sound of breaking the air came from behind him.

Lin Yan instinctively pulled out the broken knife, turned around and slashed back, and then a strong force came, and he was shocked and took a few steps back.

When he stabilized his body and looked forward, the scene in front of him suddenly subverted his cognition.

That stone statue really moved!

What attacked him just now was a stone soldier holding a stone spear, and in the collision just now, the opponent's spear was also shattered by Lin Yan, and even the arm carrying it was broken.

But the latter didn't care at all, and after a pause, he attacked Lin Yan again, followed by many stone soldiers and horses behind.

Looking at this scene, Lin Yan was in a complicated mood. Why did all the bad luck happen to him, and what was the situation? Did the Yin Soldier borrow the way?

At this time, Qiu Lao's voice sounded in his heart at the right time: "Boy, there is no point in spending it with them, let's go out first!"

Lin Yan nodded in agreement. But then the question arises as to how he will get out.

Seeing that the stone soldiers and horses were gathering more and more, an encirclement was gradually formed and surrounded him.

At this moment, he is now a "caged bird", and it is difficult to get out.

Lin Yan also tried to break through a few times, but although these stone soldiers and horses had little wisdom, they were also fearless.

Even if they cut off their hands and feet, they would still attack Lin Yan, after all, they were stones.

Unless they are destroyed in their entirety, their actions can be completely stopped.

But this kind of thing is easier said than done, after all, there are so many other parties. Maybe when you destroy a stone soldier, there will be countless stone soldiers with spears to pierce you.

Just when Lin Yan was at a loss, he suddenly discovered a rule, that is, these stone soldiers and horses can only move in a certain area in front of the sarcophagus, and never take the initiative to move out of this area.

There must be some mechanism on the ground here that controls the movements of these stone dolls. The reason why they were able to grasp their position so accurately and launch an attack was that there must be something wrong with the stone floor on the ground.

Now that you know this, it's much easier. Lin Yan rushed forward violently, and the broken knife in his hand was horizontal, blocking the stone spear in the soldier's hand. Then, he kicked the latter directly in the head.

The stone head was round, and after being kicked away by Lin Yan, it landed on the ground not far behind, and rolled backwards.

Seeing this, the rest of the stone soldiers and horses paused, and then they all turned and walked in the direction of the stone head.

"Sure enough!"

Lin Yan sighed, then seized the opportunity to highlight the encirclement and came to the southwest corner of the tomb.

He thrust the knife into the wall, like cutting tofu, it is worthy of being a magic weapon in the past, even if it is broken, it is so strong!

Lin Yan held the handle of the knife with both hands, swung up with the help of inertia, and pulled out the knife smoothly. Then throw the broken knife into the wall again while throwing it on the body, repeat the above action, and in a few breaths you will reach the hole in the southwest corner.

At this time, the stone soldiers and horses below had already discovered that they had been deceived, but it was too late, as soon as Lin Yan turned around, he went into the hole and disappeared.
