Take the Fox Fairy To Catch the Ghost

Chapter 38 The Secret Path

We may really be so happy for a while, we forgot what we came here for on the adventure.

Tomb robbers are nothing more than trying to find all the valuable funerary objects in the ancient tomb.

Now that we have not even touched the real door of the tomb, we are ready to withdraw from the ancient tomb. If this matter is spread out, I am afraid that in the business of tomb robbery, it must be a joke after dinner.

What Hu Qingguo said just now was to reprimand Hong Shan on the surface, but when I think about it carefully, he is insinuating to include all of us. Of course, if it weren't for him to wake us up with a slapstick, maybe our excitement still won't drop.

"Fuck, I'm really fainted." Fu Hongshan scratched his head and smiled, looked around the stone room again, and said: "Strange, why is there no way out? According to reason, it shouldn't be."

Hu Qingguo said: "You finally found it? We have been walking down the tomb road to this stone room. Judging from the current situation, this stone room is a dead end, which means that we should turn around. But if you think about it carefully, there is Didn't find anything wrong?"

Jiang Yilong said: "You mean, in fact, the direction we chose is likely to lead to the main tomb?"

"Clever." Hu Qingguo nodded and said: "Think about it carefully, if we walk along the way, either we are blindfolded, or threatened by a stone statue, and two little ghosts are blocking the way. All of this is the careful arrangement of the tomb owner's painstaking efforts. In other words, if this direction is not to the main tomb, why did the owner of the tomb spend so much time and effort in designing all this?"

Snapped! Suddenly, there was a crisp sound, which was particularly abrupt in the stone room.

We searched for the sound, and finally locked our eyes on Fu Hongshan. Just as Hu Qingguo was speaking, he suddenly slapped Chen Qing on the forehead. He slapped him without any warning. Anyone was angry now, but then he looked at Chen who was about to get angry. Qing, Fu Hongshan hurriedly said, "What are you doing in a daze? You don't understand what Little Hu said? Although we made a mistake, at least 80 to 90% of us chose the right direction. Then, That is to say, there must be secret secret tunnels hidden in this stone."

Chen Qing's anger immediately dissipated, and instead he said with a smile on his face: "Yes, right, right, and look around. Even if you turn this stone room over, you must find out the mechanism that opened the secret door."

The space of this stone room is indeed very limited, it is completely clear at a glance, and the furnishings in the stone room are no different. If the mechanism is really hidden, the most likely place should be the surface that looks like a complete wall. Of course, it may also be the stone in the middle. tower.

Where we are willing to waste time, everyone immediately spread out, either knocking or touching. In short, in about ten minutes or so, we have carefully checked wherever our hands can reach. However, the result was not found at all. What is the mechanism button to turn on the dark tunnel.

Fang Wenhu said: "The place here is only that big. I even looked at the Shimen at the door and outside the door carefully, but I didn't find any clues. Is our guess wrong?"

"Impossible. My experience tells me that the mechanism that opened the secret door must be here. This feeling is absolutely infallible." Although Hu Qingguo's face was calm, I could see a touch of anxiety in his eyes.

"Perhaps, we were just blinded by the superficial illusion?" I didn't know if my brain twitched, and suddenly I couldn't help but say something.

"Xiao Qi, what do you mean?"

I was stunned, and quickly made a round for myself, and said casually: "There is a saying that the most dangerous place is also the safest place, and now before us, although there is nothing dangerous at all, but we are extremely dangerous. Probably the most obvious thing was neglected."

To be honest, I really said it casually at this time. After I finished speaking, I kept beating the drums in my heart. I really hope that this sentence of mine did not attract the attention of Hu Qingguo and the others. However, after I finished speaking, Hu Qingguo actually agreed with what I said, and looked around the stone room again. The iron boxes in the stone room, including the treasures in it, were all scattered and packed in our backpacks. The rest was just an empty bag. Apart from the stone platform, the most obvious thing is the stone statues of boys scattered in the corners of the stone room.

Snapped. There was another crisp sound. This time Chen Qing found the opportunity, suffocating as much as possible on his face while Fu Hongshan was unprepared, and slapped his head with a slap. Fu Hongshan's temper was much more ferocious than Chen Qing, like a little kid. Chen Qing picked up like a chicken. "What are you doing assaulting me?"

Chen Qing was taken aback by Fu Hongshan’s reaction, for fear that Fu Hongshan’s fist would hit his small body, and said very quickly: "You are stupid, Xiao Qi just said it. It's so obvious. The only thing that is most obvious in front of us is the Stone Statue of Boy.

Fu Hongshan threw Chen Qing on the ground and said, "I guessed Xiao Qi just after finishing talking, and I still want you to tell me. I don't know what kind of person you are. But it's really going to turn around."

Obviously Chen Qing took the opportunity to deal with Hong Shan with a retaliatory nature. However, Fu Hongshan did not continue to care about Chen Qing. He hurried to a stone statue of a boy. First, he looked for the mechanism up and down, left and right, and then tried to rotate the stone statue with brute force.

"Still not."

"Aren't there three more."

We hurriedly did the same on the other three stone statues of boys, but it was strange to say that Jiang Yilong and I inspected one in a group, and Hu Qingguo and Fang Wenhu inspected one, and the results were actually consistent with Fu Hongshan's inspection results. Just as we were about to give up completely, Chen Qing suddenly exclaimed, "It's moved, this can move."

We swarmed around, and saw Chen Qing holding the stone statue fiercely toward the right, and the stone statue immediately heard a clicking sound. After seeing the movement of the stone statue and the very clear sound of the machine, we were finally able to be sure that the previous guess did not deviate, and there is indeed a hidden secret path here.

Chen Qing gritted his teeth and said, "I can't turn it."

We looked around the stone room and found nothing unusual. Fu Hongshan said, I came, pushed Chen Qing away with enough strength and turned to the right. As a result, the stone statue showed no signs of abrasion, even just now. The clear machine noise disappeared completely. Fu Hongshan didn't believe it, and turned the stone statue back to its original position and tried to grind it to the left, but he couldn't even do it at all. After going back and forth twice, Fu Hongshan finally turned back. "This is strange. Since it is the mechanism that opens the secret door, and we have opened the mechanism now, is it possible that the mechanism has failed because of too long time?"

Hu Qingguo said: "The craftsmanship of the ancients is not uncommon in your heart."

"Could it be that there is more than one mechanism that opens the secret door?" I said.

"However, we have almost completely turned this place over. The only thing that can move is this stone statue of the boy."

"and many more."

"What are you waiting for?" Fang Wenhu said, looking at Jiang Yilong.

Jiang Yilong sank, and immediately said: "I don't know if I'm right or not, in short, it's just a guess."

Hu Qingguo said in an interface: "It's okay, whether it's right or wrong, just say what you think, it's really not good, let's find another way."

"Then I'll talk about it." Jiang Yilong said, "There are a total of four stone statues of boys in this stone room. We have tried just now that only the one in front of them can move, but you have found that none of them. The mouth shape stands on the four corners of the stone room and all the stone statues of the boy are facing each other. Now we have moved the one in front of us, but only rotated forty-five degrees to the right, and it can be said to be facing. It is the center of the stone chamber, or it can be said to be the stone statue of the boy facing diagonally opposite. So, in the current situation, does it look very strange?"

I continued: "Big brother, you mean that the reason why we were not able to rotate the other three stone statues just now was just because we didn't follow the correct order?"

Jiang Yilong wiped the sweat oozing from his forehead and said: "But it made me anxious to death, I'm afraid I didn't say it clearly, and you don't understand it."

I said: "If the stone statue of the boy was the first key to unlock the secret path, it might not be possible that the remaining stone statue was the second or even the third one."

"Right, right, right." Jiang Yilong looked at Hu Qingguo and said, "Little Hu, I'm all nonsense, right or wrong, I'm not sure at all."

"Right or not, you'll know after you try it. Even if it's not right, you're using your heart, so how could I blame you."

Following Jiang Yilong’s prompt, Chen Qing and Fang Wenhu quickly dispersed and stood in the three corners of the stone room, and took the lead in trying to turn the stone statue of a boy toward the center with the stone statue of a boy that was able to rotate just now. This time, it was effortless, and in the end, it was also forty-five degrees to face the boy stone statue diagonally opposite again, and the sound of the machine rang again.

Upon seeing this, Hu Qingguo's expression was overjoyed, of course he didn't need to rush to speak, Fang Wenhu and the others immediately tried. In the end, the stone statues of the boy in the other two corners once again faced each other in an oblique manner. At the same time, the stone platform in the center of the stone room suddenly made a dull sound, and then moved away automatically, appearing in the position before the stone platform. An opening, shining toward the opening with a flashlight, is exactly the ladder extending downwards.
