I asked you to write a book, but I didn’t ask you to reveal your criminal record!

The rain in June and July in summer is heavy and long.

The rain hit the car window and the grass and trees of Dabao Mountain, and thick water vapor filled the air, blurring the scenery in front of Lin Chuan.

The mountain was high and the road was long. It took Lin Chuan and Shen Qianqian two and a half hours to reach their destination.

At this time.

The rescue teams of Archaeological Team 8 and Team 9, who had already arrived, had built a temporary rain shelter.

Several ambulances were ready at any time.

However, there was no trace of Zhong Xunfeng, Zhao Shan and others.

There was a sense of depression and heaviness in the crowd.

"Lin Chuan is here."

Qin Sisi was standing in front of the rain shelter. When she saw Lin Chuan and Shen Qianqian appear, she immediately shouted.

Lao Yao was still analyzing the mechanism of the ancient tomb of the Nanyue royal family. When he heard "Lin Chuan is here", he stood up and walked out of the rain shelter.

The rest of the archaeological team members had heard of Lin Chuan more or less because of the Qixing Lu Palace.

Therefore, they all turned their heads and looked outside.

At this time, Qin Sisi had already held an umbrella and walked forward to meet Lin Chuan.

Lao Yao followed closely behind.

"Lin Chuan, you are finally here." Qin Sisi's depression seemed to be relieved a lot when they met.

"You treated me to lunch, how can I not come?"

Lin Chuan looked at Qin Sisi, who looked a little nervous, and eased the atmosphere.

Qin Sisi smiled faintly: "Let me introduce you, this is the captain of our archaeological team, Lao Yao."

Lao Yao held an umbrella and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Lin Chuan: "Writer Lin, I have heard of your name for a long time. I am Lao Yao, the captain of the ninth archaeological team."

"Captain Yao, hello." Lin Chuan responded politely.

"The situation is critical now, so I won't say any more small talk. Let's go into the shed and tell you about the current situation." Lao Yao said solemnly, looking a little anxious.

Lin Chuan nodded and entered the shelter.

Old Yao handed Lin Chuan a stack of information, and then introduced the relevant information about the ancient tombs of the Nanyue royal family to Lin Chuan.

After Lin Chuan looked at the information, he frowned slightly: "It's too rainy and foggy now, and I can't see the direction of the mountain, but I feel that this is not the entrance to the tomb."

"No?"

Old Yao looked a little surprised, and immediately asked the archaeologists of Team 8 to find the overview map of the mountain shape during this period.

On the tablet, the video footage of Dabao Mountain taken by Team 8 using a drone was immediately displayed.

Lin Chuan did not rush to go down to the tomb immediately, but looked at it for a long time, and whispered: "This is a very large ancient tomb group!"

Old Yao was puzzled and came over.

Lin Chuan pointed to an area a little above the middle reaches, where there was a lake, and said: "According to the terrain, this is the best place to go down to the tomb. It belongs to the middle hub position and can enter any ancient tomb."

"Then should we go to another place to enter the tomb?" Old Yao asked Lin Chuan's opinion.

He had already looked at Lin Chuan.

Although Lin Chuan looks young and immature, and slightly delicate, he has a good temperament between his eyebrows, and his eyes are slightly deep and bright.

Especially when looking at the location of the mountain, the aura is different, which makes Lao Yao feel that there is no doubt.

"It's too late in time. I'll take a look at the shape of the mountain, mainly to judge the layout and direction of the underground ancient tomb." Lin Chuan put away the tablet and said, "Get ready."

Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. The more dangerous the ancient tomb is, the more you can't rush to save people.

Otherwise, it's easy to get yourself involved.

"I'll go down with you."

Shen Qianqian came to Lin Chuan and said with pursed lips.

Lin Chuan looked up at Shen Qianqian and smiled: "You are not an archaeologist, why are you going to join in the fun?"

At this time, Qin Sisi pulled Shen Qianqian to sit down: "Qianqian, Lin Chuan and I will go down, you just wait here with peace of mind."

Shen Qianqian pouted, glanced at Lin Chuan and Qin Sisi, and nodded again.

She originally thought that if she encountered some strange creatures, she could help Lin Chuan with her skills.

However, she changed her mind.

In the ancient tomb of the Nanyue royal family, there should be no strange creatures except for the organs.

"Brother Lin, put on this."

Lao Yao came with a bulletproof vest, which was specially sent by the police comrades who came to rescue, in order to prevent the organs in the tomb.

For example, flying arrows.

Lin Chuan did not hesitate, put it on directly, and installed many necessary equipment and tools.

- High-intensity flashlight, archaeological shovel, gas mask, oxygen bag, dry food, water, etc.

"Be careful."

Shen Qianqian was a little worried, and added, "I and Xinxin are waiting for you to come back."

"Small problem."

Lin Chuan smiled and gave her a reassuring look.

Then, he went into the nearly 20-meter-deep tomb, followed by Lao Yao and Qin Sisi.

As soon as he landed, the bottom of the tomb was wet. Lin Chuan had a flashlight tied to his head. In front of him was a tomb passage about one meter wide and less than two meters high.

There were some footprints on the ground.

Lao Yao took two steps at a time and walked to Lin Chuan's side, leading him: "Brother Lin, according to the captain of Team 8, Xunfeng and his team walked northeast from here and accidentally entered the maze."

Lin Chuan's mind showed a bird's-eye view of the ground, and he frowned: "This is the death gate, you entered from the death gate."

Lao Yao's heart tightened: "Death gate?"

Lin Chuan nodded and explained: "I looked at the terrain. The mountains here are twists and turns. The ancient tombs of the South Vietnamese royal family were built underground. They should be built according to the location of the Bagua. This is the southwest direction and belongs to the Kun position in the Bagua. It’s the door of death.”

Qin Sisi's expression also changed: "In other words, this is the most difficult and dangerous place to enter?"

"That's not entirely true. The risk factor of this ancient tomb is very high. Entering the tomb from the Xun position is in the southeast. It will be relatively safer there, but there should be a lot of mechanisms."

Lin Chuan explained as he walked forward.

Lao Yao and Qin Sisi looked at each other and were shocked.

It was very cold in the tomb passage.

Both of them had goosebumps.

Lin Chuan led his way through the narrow stone door and saw South Vietnam's characteristic totems and various runes carved on the walls on both sides.

There is still a bright lamp hanging on the tomb path, but it has long been extinguished.

The entire underground was pitch black.

"Old Yao, where did you and Zhao Shan get lost last time?"

Lin Chuan turned around and asked.

Lao Yao raised his hand and pointed: "It was at the fork in front. I went to the left and he went to the right. When I walked halfway, I found something was wrong and walked back immediately. I followed his mark and walked forward, but Lao Zhao has disappeared."

Lin Chuan walked forward cautiously.

Sure enough, there is a fork in the road ahead.

turn left turn Right.

"Where are we going?" Qin Sisi frowned slightly and asked Lin Chuan's decision.

"Follow me and don't touch the wall easily." Lin Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly and walked in to the right.

Large tombs in ancient times often had labyrinths.

The intricate passages inside are intertwined into a network, and dead ends frequently appear. It is easy for tomb robbers to lose their direction and fall into an endless loop.

Only with keen judgment and precise direction perception can we get out of the maze.

at this time.

Lin Chuan saw an arrow symbol left by Zhao Shan on the wall of the tomb passage not far ahead.

Follow the arrow, go around 6 corners, and enter 4 dead ends.

The arrow disappears.

In a dead end, there is no way forward.

Lao Yao swallowed and said, "I just walked here last time and didn't dare to go any further."

Lin Chuan said nothing.

Strong light shines on both sides of the tomb passage and the stone wall in front.

The bacteria in the ground left strange lines on the stone wall, and Lin Chuan cautiously moved forward.

His experience as a killer allowed him to develop meticulous on-site survey skills.

Boom, boom, boom.

Lin Chuan knocked on the wall and stared at the intermittent lines on the stone wall, which seemed a little incoherent: "This stone wall can be moved."

Two other bright flashlights also shone over.

Here in the dead end, it's bright.

"Is there a mechanism inside?" Qin Sisi stared at the stone wall in front of her and asked doubtfully.

Lin Chuan shook his head: "It is not empty inside. It should be a simple moving stone door. Check whether there are any different plates on both sides of the tomb passage or at the foot."

Qin Sisi and Lao Yao immediately started searching.

They all understand.

According to Lin Chuan's inference, since Zhao Shan's mark disappeared here, it was most likely that he accidentally touched the trap and passed through the stone wall.

"Linchuan, here."

Qin Sisi's flashlight illuminated a loose stone slab on the floor on the right.

Lin Chuan leaned over and squatted down to investigate carefully.

He stretched out his hand and tapped various places on the stone slab. Then, he raised his right foot and lightly stepped on the left side of the stone slab.

Bang.

There was a slight sound, like beads falling into place, and the stone wall in front of them moved easily, revealing a passage.

A bright light shines through.

Sure enough, on the right side of the tomb passage, Zhao Shan's arrow mark was seen again.

Lao Yao and Qin Sisi suddenly felt happy. They were not relieved, but they could take a deep breath.

call--

Lin Chuan's eyes were blazing and he continued to walk forward along the arrow mark.

This trip was both a visit to the grave and a rescue.

The clicking footsteps sounded in the tomb passage.

Sudden!

"Old Yao, is that you?" A somewhat depressed voice came from the corner of the tomb passage ahead.

Lao Yao's heart was beating loudly, and his face was a little excited: "It's me, it's me."

The speed of his feet increased a bit.

At the corner, there was a dead end. Zhao Shan was groping for the wall, his face pale. Next to him was his equipment bag. The dry food and water inside could probably sustain him for two days.

But the oxygen bag probably won't last that long.

Zhao Shan's face immediately lit up when he heard Lao Yao's voice. With some strength in his weak body, he immediately stood up and greeted Lao Yao.

"I thought I was going to explain it here." Zhao Shan had a sad smile on his face.

Lao Yao patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Fortunately, you are lucky."

"How did you get in?"

In the dim environment, Zhao Shan looked at Lao Yao, Qin Sisi, and Lin Chuan.

"Brother Lin brought us in, otherwise you would really have to confess here." A smile appeared on Lao Yao's face.

Zhao Shan looked at Lin Chuan and thanked him repeatedly.

Lin Chuan waved his hand and asked about the situation in the maze: "Captain Zhao, have you been trapped here all this time?"

Zhao Shan nodded, still in fear: "I was fine when I came in, but when I returned, I found that the passage was blocked and could not be opened. I could only keep going forward, wondering if there was any mechanism that could open it."

After listening, Lin Chuan walked forward to the corner and carefully explored it: "This is a dead end."

"Then we should go left at the fork in the road?" Lao Yao asked in a daze.

Lin Chuan did not comment, but took out a pen and paper from his bag and began to draw a partial topographic map of the maze.

Afterwards.

He led a few people back to the fork in the road.

Zhao Shan was trapped in the ancient tomb for four or five hours, and he was exhausted and it was not suitable for him to continue to explore forward, so everyone asked him to go back first.

Lin Chuan, Lao Yao, and Qin Sisi explored the left side of the fork in the road. Surprisingly, the end of the tomb passage on the left was also a dead end.

And they did not find Zhong Xunfeng and others.

This situation made Lao Yao and Qin Sisi feel nervous again.

Lin Chuan looked at the two and said comfortingly: "Not finding them means they may have walked out of the maze and entered the ancient tomb."

"That's even more dangerous." Lao Yao sighed.

Lin Chuan was not in a hurry. He squatted down beside the tomb passage and continued to draw the topographic map of the maze on paper. Starting from the fork in the road, there were routes for both the left and right roads.

Qin Sisi was tactful and did not speak, not to disturb Lin Chuan's thoughts.

Lin Chuan stared at the zigzag maze on the paper, frowned, and only said "follow me", and walked forward until he stopped at the three-way intersection at the end, facing the wall.

"Brother Lin, what is this?"

Lao Yao looked at Lin Chuan facing the wall, a little puzzled.

Lin Chuan explained: "According to the layout of the eight trigrams of the dead gate Kun position, this is most likely the location leading to the central hub."

"But it's blocked." Qin Sisi said.

"Help me shine it with light." Lin Chuan placed his two palms on the stone wall and carefully touched every part.

Suddenly, his two fingers touched two concave spots.

That was the eye of the totem.

"Is there a hole?"

Lin Chuan instinctively inserted his fingers cautiously, and his face suddenly lit up. Sure enough, it was a mechanism hole!

Inside the hole, there were raised points, like a lock core, which were transmitted from the touch of the fingers to the mind, and through the recognition of the mechanism, a diagram of the mechanism structure was formed.

After a while.

Lin Chuan's index finger and middle finger pressed suddenly.

Squeak--

A heavy sound, like a sigh of time, sounded slowly in the ears of the three people.

In the middle of the stone wall of the tomb passage in front of them, a stone door slowly opened backwards.

The strong light in the hands of the three people suddenly penetrated the darkness and shone behind the stone door. Behind the stone door, under the reflection of the strong light, it was bright, and you could see that it was a large circular area.

Unknown animal patterns were carved on the stone wall.

There were also words carved in small seal script, recording the relevant deeds of the ancient country of Nanyue.

Lin Chuan led the two to the central area and suddenly found that there was a strange smell in the southeast.

There were also a series of footprints of different sizes on the ground.

Lin Chuan frowned: "A tomb robber has come in!"
