People in Zong Tomb, Jieling Pirates

Chapter 139 The stone wall hiding mysteries

After rubbing his waist, which was a little stiff due to excessive exertion, Chen Ziyan also grabbed the rope and slid down.

At this time, everyone else was waiting for him in the stone room. After Chen Ziyan came in, he nodded to everyone and asked Black Glasses to start working.

After the last two wooden pillars were brought down again according to the previous method, the secret door in the corridor opened in response.

The location of this secret door is very strange. It does not open to the wall of the corridor, but is placed on the ground outside the stone door.

But after all the wooden pillars in the stone chamber fell over, the floor outside the stone door slowly parted, revealing a downward staircase.

"I'll go explore the road first!"

After taking a flashlight to shine inside, Wang Kaixuan picked up his rifle and planned to strike first.

He has always been a reckless pioneer, and he has always done this kind of thing.

"You'd better wait and let Wushuang go down first."

But before he could take a step forward, he was stopped by Chen Ziyan.

Since there is a real human shield, there is no need to worry about this fat man.

If Wushuang Ghost is responsible for clearing the way, he will basically have to go all the way if he encounters hidden arrows. After all, he is not afraid of these.

Of course, if there are too many changes, then this fat man is more suitable.

Although the Wushuang Ghost retains the basic intelligence of the Red Bull and is considered a living creature in a sense, its ability to adapt to changes is ultimately insufficient and it is difficult to cope with overly complex scenes.

Wang Kaixuan intended to retort, but after comparing the body shapes of both parties, he finally said nothing and silently got out of the way.

Needless to say, although he is considered tall, he still belongs to the category of a normal human being. How could he be compared to such a giant?

Wushuang Ghost didn't have as many psychological changes as him. After receiving Chen Ziyan's order, he stepped down the stone steps without hesitation.

Wang Kaixuan followed closely, and the others followed suit, entering the secret door one by one.

This section of stairs was not long, almost a dozen steps, and within a few steps they came to a spacious passage.

Although Wushuang Ghost is not afraid of traps such as hidden arrows, in order not to show too obviously, Chen Ziyan has already told him that at this time, he must take off the iron chains on his body to open a way.

"Hey, dear, with Wushuang's strength, I'm afraid I'll meet the Lord of Hell directly if I get hit by you."

Listening to the whistling of the iron chains in front of him and the sparks that kept splashing in the darkness, Wang Kaixuan subconsciously distanced himself a bit and couldn't help but exclaimed.

Normally, the Wushuang Ghost always followed Chen Ziyan silently. Apart from his terrifying size, nothing else could be seen, but now they could see the destructive power of this guy.

Although the others didn't say anything, they all agreed with this in their hearts.

They may not, but if they were ordinary people, they would really save even an ambulance.

This passage seems straight, but in fact there is a corner every ten meters or so, so walking gives people a spiraling feeling.

However, they didn't walk long before they left the passage and arrived outside, standing on the narrow stone steps that both of them could barely pass.

Chen Ziyan took a flashlight and looked down. When he saw the sarcophagus wrapped in rice dumplings, he nodded and said, "It seems we found it right. This is the place we just saw."

Although there are slight deviations from what you see below, there is generally no problem.

Then they began to follow the stone steps and continued to go down, wanting to see what was at the end of this road.

A group of five people, including the puppet Wushuanggui, are all very fast. In addition, although the stone steps are located in this damp and dark place, there is no moss or anything like that, making it difficult to go down.

The process was quite smooth.

After a while, they reached the end of the stone steps.

But when they came here, they found that this place was very different from what they imagined.

"This place..." Chen Ziyan held up a flashlight and looked around, then frowned and looked at the underground lake next to him.

He originally thought that the stone steps would go down the cave wall and eventually come to the edge of the underground lake, where the underground river flows into.

But I didn't expect that the edge was correct, but it was a dead end. Not to mention the shadow of the Zidu Anhe River, I didn't even hear the slightest sound of water flowing.

Others were also confused about this, but Shirley Yang thought about it and came up with a possibility: "I think we are missing an important step."

Important steps?

Chen Ziyan and others all looked at her, but then they all thought of what she was talking about.

Indeed, there is still one step they have not done, and it is also a very critical step, and that is - sacrifice!

No wonder the epitaph of Prince Gumo focused on the need for sacrifices to awaken the 'Water Messenger'. Now it seems that without this messenger, they might not have been able to find the way to the underground river.

Wang Kaixuan immediately suggested: "That's not easy to handle. Now that we have the guns in hand, we can go out and hunt a few sheep and come back, and we can solve this problem!"

"Rough words or not, just do what the fat man says!" Chen Ziyan thought the same way, so he immediately agreed.

All of them here have some skills. As long as they can find prey, don't take it too easy to bring it back, okay?

The only question is how many prey are needed to meet the needs of the sacrifice.

After all, this is a desert, and even living things are rare resources.

If this place wasn't an oasis, then they would be even more ingenious.

"Wait a minute!"

Just when they were about to go back to prepare the sacrifices, Hu Bayi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stopped everyone.

He did not rush to explain, but walked to the stone wall in front of him, reached out and rubbed it vigorously.

No one said anything, they all watched Hu Bayi's movements quietly.

After that night of watching the stars and dividing gold to fix acupuncture points, no one in the team knew that this person was an expert in Feng Shui.

If you call out to stop at this time, you must have discovered something.

Hu Bayi ignored everyone, and after rubbing for a while, he took off his gloves and gently slid his fingers on that spot.

Although the others didn't make a sound, they all shined their flashlights there, but no matter how they looked at it, they felt that it was an ordinary wall.

After finding nothing, we had no choice but to continue waiting for Hu Bayi's answer.

After stroking the cave wall several times, Hu Bayi stopped his movements, turned around and said to Chen Ziyan: "Mr. Chen, there is something wrong with the cave wall."

"Is there a problem?"

While Chen Ziyan made a confused sound, he stepped forward and stretched out his hand.

Through the attempt just now, he already knew that if you want to know where the problem lies, it is useless to just look at it. You have to touch it personally.

He didn't feel much at first, but as the strength gradually increased, Chen Ziyan also noticed something was wrong.

This cave wall looks ordinary, but in fact it hides something hidden!

There are some subtle undulations on it. If you notice these undulations suddenly, you will think they are natural textures, but when you touch them, you will find that the arcs and depths of these undulations are exactly the same!
