Chapter Seventy-One: The Ancient Tomb
"Get down. The ghost-faced man who had taken the lead dodged the arrow, and with a loud shout, all the men fell to the ground, and it took a long time for the arrows to be fired. I couldn't hear the sound of the arrows anymore, and the ghost-faced man who took the lead slowly stood up, and he turned around and just wanted to ask someone to send the person who was hit by the arrow to be healed, but his face changed, and the person who was hit by the arrow had turned black, and his limbs were cold, and he had obviously been dead for a long time.
"There is poison on the arrows, carry them away, and be careful not to touch the poisoned arrows. The grimace turned pale and said to his men.
He looked at the bottomless Yongdao, and there was a hint of fear on his face.
"All the people brought torches, except those who stayed behind, and followed me into the tomb. With a command, he led the way towards the tomb.
All the people, you look at me, I look at you, and they also walked in. After a while, all the people except those who stayed at the entrance of the tomb and those who patrolled entered the tomb in turn.
Xiao Ruoshui watched as all the people entered the ancient tomb, he nodded at Jingyuan, and the four of them immediately flew towards the front and back of the courtyard.
"This ancient tomb is a bit weird, how can you still kill people, there will be no ghosts in it. Li Yunmeng looked at Shangguan Yanran, and said in a trembling voice.
"No, it's probably because the ambush mechanism in the ancient tomb has been touched, that's why it's like this, don't scare yourself. Shangguan Yanran was not afraid, she comforted Li Yunmeng and whispered.
After the two people were talking, the four people had easily solved the courtyard which people were left behind and patrolling, and came to the entrance of the ancient tomb.
Shangguan Yanran and Li Yunmeng also jumped from the roof. followed.
"Let's go in later, it's too close and easy for them to spot, and there will be no suddenness when we move, and we can't make them feel afraid, and the effect will not be good." Xiao Ruoshui looked at the entrance of the ancient tomb and said to everyone with a wicked smile.
"Anyway, if you follow you to either the ancient tomb or the cave, there is no clean place, can you go to a place openly, and wander around like a mouse. After listening to Xiao Ruoshui's words, Li Yunmeng muttered and complained. Her clothes were dirty. His face was dirty, too. The thought of going to a dirty and dark place for a while made me angry, so I complained dissatisfied. When Xiao Ruoshui heard Li Yunmeng's words, the evil smile just now immediately disappeared, and he looked at the entrance of the cave angrily and stopped talking.
Everyone looked at the two of them and couldn't help but laugh. Maybe it's a relief to relax at this time.
"Alright, almost, let's go inside. I don't seem to see the torches anymore. I think we've come to a corner. We can go in. Xiao Ruoshui picked up a torch. Then beckoned everyone into the tomb.
Xiao Ruoshui took the lead, and after Wen Yuetian was broken, the two women were in the middle. The six of them slowly walked towards the ancient tomb.
There are about a hundred steps in the road, in the middle of the road, the two top doorposts have been broken and lying in the road, Xiao Ruoshui looked at the ground carefully, and walked forward cautiously, this kind of ancient tomb is generally designed by the masters, in order to make the dragon come alive, there is generally ventilation and flowing water. So there is no need to worry about poisoning in the tomb.
But mechanisms and ambushes are indispensable, but for this kind of ancient tomb mechanism, in Xiao Ruoshui and Wen Yuetian's opinion, it is just a matter of mastery, so there is no big problem.
Along the way, at the end of the road were several iron crossbows, about a zhang long, the arrows had been shot, and the huge bows and crossbows were still dangling. It should have been the bows and arrows fired after these crossbows were triggered.
After the straight part of the road is finished, it is the steps facing down, Xiao Ruoshui looked at it for a long time, and then slowly walked down, the bluestone slab was very slippery with moisture, so everyone walked not fast, but fortunately, everyone was a child of the rivers and lakes and did not feel too tired.
After several turns back and forth, they still did not see the burial chamber, and the one leading the way in front of them seemed to be going in circles, walking back and forth with them.
"They seem to be lost, should we do it now? Jingyuan watched these people go back and forth in circles, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart, he gave Xiao Ruoshui a mention.
"Deep Dragon Cave, there must be hidden secret rooms, we just need to find these secret rooms, and then close the secret rooms to lock them in the secret room, now Brother Wen and I go to find the secret room, attract them to the secret room, you hide here so as not to be discovered by them." Xiao Ruoshui pointed to the sculpture on the edge of the road and said to Jingyuan.
The four of them hid behind the tall statue, and they couldn't see it in the dark tomb if they didn't look closely, Xiao Ruoshui and Wen Yuetian walked towards the place where the torch was shaking, and they looked carefully at the wall and the ground as they walked.
"There's a mechanism here, you can see it's a little bumpy on the ground. Wen Yuetian pointed to a bulge on the ground and said slowly.
"From this raised position, it looks like a hidden secret room, but I don't know if it's a secret room to prevent tomb robbers. Maybe it's the ear chamber, open it up first. Xiao Ruoshui gently pressed the bulge, and the wall rumbled open, attracting the attention of those who were turning in circles, and all of them turned around and walked in the direction of the sound.
"It seems to be the ear chamber, they are coming, go in first. Xiao Ruoshui and Wen Yuetian hid in the secret room with an arrow step, hiding behind the door, Xiao Ruoshui and Wen Yuetian grabbed a large handful of copper coins and held them in their hands, looked at each other and then climbed on the roof of the house in the ear room, crawling on the wall like a big gecko.
"Is this here, see what's inside?" said a crowd of people who swarmed around the dark doorway.
The torch stretched out inside, and inside the secret room was a pile of copper coins, ingots and silver ingots. Piled up on the ground, all the people rushed up like crazy. Around the hill of copper coins, ingots, and silver ingots were loaded into his arms.
"Don't rob, don't rob. The grimace led the man roared loudly, but after a few crisp sounds, the bright burial chamber immediately became black, a gust of wind blew, the door slammed shut, and everyone was locked in the burial chamber.
Xiao Ruoshui lit a torch, listened to the chaotic crowd inside, and said: "Birds die for food, and people die for money." Just stay here with the treasure in check. ”
"God has the virtue of a good life, let's clean them up after we finish our business, after all, Qingcheng Mountain still has to have an explanation. Wen Yuetian said to Xiao Ruoshui, he drew a big circle with a torch and made a mark, he wanted to solve them after finishing his business.
"It's still the senior brother who did the right thing, no matter who did something, he was responsible for what they did, and they were also responsible for what they did. Xiao Ruoshui looked at Wen Yuetian's qiē, and sighed heartily.
"Let's go, they guess they're in a hurry. I guess someone is swearing. Wen Yuetian looked at Xiao Ruoshui and said with a smile.
"It would be strange if she didn't scold, she was a princess. Xiao Ruoshui replied naturally, and followed Wen Yuetian towards the place where they were hiding. (To be continued......)
