Chapter 67: The Entrance Under the Stele
Fortunately, the materials of the tarp and backpack are thickened and waterproof, and they can naturally prevent light transmission, so that they are completely low-key, but the bulging bag is still quite eye-catching.
After covering up the dragon egg, the next step is to find the whereabouts of the Cao Gang's group. There are braziers all around, and you can see through them when you look at them, and there are uneven stone walls all around, and there are no cave entrances.
It's strange, can't so many people evaporate from the world? At this time, after Liu Baye looked around, he directly looked at the messy footprints on the ground.
After staring at the footprints on the ground for a while, Liu Baye's brows suddenly relaxed, and then he raised his head to look at me and said, "Dongzi, look at these footprints on the ground, do you find anything?" "At first, I didn't take the footprints on the ground seriously at all, and I just took a cursory glance before, but now after Liu Baye's reminder, I suddenly realized that I lowered my head and looked at it carefully.
After looking around at the footprints for a few seconds, a hint of joy immediately appeared on my face, and I hurriedly replied, "Godfather, I know!" The first sister on the side obviously saw the doorway from it, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, but Erbao was the only one who stared at the footprints on the ground for a long time, and she didn't see the reason.
"Dongzi, if you know, just say it, don't pant for breath." I smiled knowingly at Erbao, and then pointed to the messy footprints on the ground and said: "These footprints seem to be disorganized, but in fact, if you look closely, there are still traces to follow, almost all the footprints are trampled around this stone monument, and there are few footprints around or far away, which can negate the possibility of hidden mechanisms in the surrounding stone walls." Speaking of this, I swallowed my saliva and continued to analyze: "The Cao Gang has mobilized so many people this time, and nearly half of them have been killed and injured, and they will never return in vain, so according to my analysis, the entrance order to the mausoleum is elsewhere, and all the people of the Cao Gang have gone down to the mausoleum." Liu Baye nodded with satisfaction,
"Good boy, his eyesight is really unique, not bad."
"It's not the eighth master, why is it good, this kid said for a long time I didn't understand, said that all the people of the Cao Gang went to the mausoleum, where is the entrance, could it be under the cliff, all the people of the Cao Gang jumped off the cliff?" Erbao asked eagerly.
Seeing that Erbao was so eager, I stopped selling Guanzi, and I was going to do it myself, but as soon as the arm was raised, my chest was like a pinprick pain.
In the end, he could only raise his finger and point to the huge stone tablet and said, "Brother Erbao, the entrance to this mausoleum is pressed under the stone tablet." ”
"Really?" Erbao stretched out a hand suspiciously and pushed the stele, and then turned his head with a sad face and said: "You kid is planning to make me a stupid boy tired, right, even if the entrance is under this, but this stele is so big and heavy, and it weighs at least a ton by eye, how can it be pushed!" "I naturally know this, the people of the Cao Gang will not spend so much manpower to move this tonnage stele without knowing where the entrance is, even if it is moved, then after all the people have entered, how does this stele return to its original place, there is only one answer, that is, there is a hidden mechanism on this stele.
I asked Erbao to try to grope around the stele to find a mechanism to move the stele, and Erbao suddenly raised his hand and patted his head and said, "Yes, such a big stele must have a mechanism, why am I so stupid!" With that, the two treasures groped around the stone tablet.
Of course, he only dared to grope for the back of the stele, and as for the front side, he couldn't touch it, because it was splashed with poison ivy's blood-red juice, and after such a long time, there was still no sign of drying up.
Click......! There was a sound of a mechanism, and Erbao shouted with a look of surprise: "Hahahahaha...... Found it, sure enough, there is a mechanism! As the mechanism was triggered, the huge and heavy stele was slowly moved to one side, and a rectangular entrance slowly appeared under the stele.
The entrance is a neat series of bricked stairs leading down to the entrance, from which bright firelight is reflected as the entrance is fully revealed.
However, at the moment when the entrance of the mausoleum appeared, a deafening loud sound was heard from far and near, and then the entire space began to shake violently.
At first, I was also surprised, but it was just the mechanism that triggered the entrance to the mausoleum, how did it cause such a violent shock?
But soon a dragon's roar echoed in my ears, and my heart fluttered at this, and I immediately shouted, "Oh no, the dragon has rushed out!" "That green man is running for the dragon egg, if you stand here stupidly, you will only have to wait for death.
Fortunately, the entrance to the mausoleum is open, and you can just go in to avoid the edge for a while, as for how to leave at that time, you can only take one step at a time, and then make plans.
The four of us went down into the mausoleum one after another, and as soon as I went down on the front foot, the sound of the mechanism retracting immediately sounded, and the huge stone tablet slowly moved into the distance again, sealing the entrance above our heads again.
There was still a violent tremor all around, and it was a tremor, and the sound of the shock was mixed with the sound of a dragon full of resentment, and if I guessed correctly, the green was already above our heads.
The tremors and sounds lasted for five or six minutes, and then there was a complete silence, as if nothing had happened unless the ears were buzzing.
With the arrival of silence, I could faintly hear the noisy sound coming from the end of the corridor in front of me, and carefully distinguish that it should be the sound of speaking, but because of the distance, it sounds more like mosquitoes buzzing, but it is also determined that the people of the Cao Gang are in this mausoleum.
But all large mausoleums will have anti-theft mechanisms, and Cao Cao is recognized as a suspicious person, once set up seventy-two doubtful graves, in order to prevent people from robbing the tomb, how can there be no organs in his tomb, I am afraid that there are only a lot more.
Sure enough, after a certain distance in the corridor, the four of us encountered arrow traps, rockfall traps, and stabbing wells backwards, but fortunately we were very cautious along the way, so there was no danger.
However, the Cao Gang doesn't seem to have such good luck, or they have never been under a tomb of this scale, let alone the danger in the tomb, there are more than ten people who died under several organs along the way, and it is estimated that the team of nearly 100 people who came down together is probably not much left at this time.
When the corridor finally came to an end, a burial chamber about ten meters square and about five meters high appeared.
There was a huge copper coffin parked in it, and at this moment Cao Tian and others were standing in it, and several of his subordinates climbed up to the copper coffin to open the coffin lid.
However, even though they used tools to pry it, they were stunned that they could not open the lid of the copper coffin for a minute.
"Ahem!" Liu Baye coughed lightly twice, indicating our existence, so that all eyes turned to us in unison, but except for one person, the ancestor of the Cao Gang, he seemed to disdain us at all, and he didn't even bother to look at it.
As soon as he saw Liu Baye, Cao Tian greeted him with a smile on his face, and said in a very polite tone: "Eighth Master has obtained what he needs?" ”
"Well, I did." Just a few words, and I didn't say much. But even so, Cao Tian quickly locked his eyes on Erbao's bulging backpack, and a trace of greed flashed in his eyes.
"Hehehehe...... It's so good, the eighth master came by coincidence, and I'm worried about how to open this copper coffin. Saying that, Cao Tian looked at me, saying that he was looking at me, but he was actually staring at the dragon claw in my hand, obviously he Cao Tian had also heard about the anti-heaven power of the dragon claw, and now he wanted to borrow my dragon claw to open the copper coffin.
