Chapter 76: Whereabouts

Zhang Tianyi pulled me and ran until I reached the end of the tomb passage and stopped.

I leaned my back against the wall, breathing heavily, thinking that I was running too fast, and I was already running away.

I adjusted my breathing and my heartbeat gradually stabilized.

I looked up and looked around, and found that this was not a tomb at all, but a huge tomb, as big as half a football field.

In the center of the cave, there is a river that crosses the cave. There is a huge tomb door on the other side of the river. I don't know where it leads to.

The river in front of me was different from the water on the boat or in the deep pool.

The river is crystal clear. Although it crosses the entire cave, it is very shallow. If you had to wade through it, the water level would probably be just below your calf.

But this tomb is a water tomb, and it is very dangerous. Even if the bottom is crystal clear and you can see clearly, you would not dare to wade through the water rashly.

If a black snake emerges from a crack in a stone, it will be a direct disaster to the northwest.

After careful consideration, since there is a tomb door on the opposite side, there must be a way through.

Otherwise, the owner of this tomb is the Queen Mother who is having her period and is insane!

Just as he was thinking about it, the fat man ran over howling from behind and collapsed on the ground.

He was panting heavily, his eyes were so tired that he couldn't even open his eyes, and he said breathlessly:

"Brother...I treat you as a brother...you don't treat me as a human being! Without even saying a word, you grabbed Arlene and ran away! I was unlucky. He was sprinting behind me with bare feet, but he didn't even look at me.

One look!”

The fat man rubbed the gravel on his feet as he spoke.

At this moment, I discovered that the black spots on the fat man's wrist had grown a lot bigger. It probably wouldn't take long before they would become what they were before.

Zhang Tianyi stood at the entrance of the tomb passage, staring at the tomb passage we ran towards, as if to see if the little devil was catching up.

He turned around and put away the forged knife, his expression had relaxed, and he didn't seem to be chasing after him.

I walked up to the fat man, patted his shoulder and comforted him:

"Okay, fat man, I'll apologize to you on his behalf and treat you to hot pot when we get out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the fat man immediately stretched out his hand, opened his palm, made a five sign, and then said:

"Five meals!"

At this moment, my heart seemed to be bleeding, and my heart said that fat people are too dark.

This guy almost ate my little one in one meal. He was more ruthless than a lion with his mouth wide open. He had five meals in one go. He was even blacker than a black heart!

When the fat man saw that I was still silent, he immediately started to snort and pretended to be angry.

When I saw this, I immediately responded, and then I stabilized the fat man's mentality.

Then the fat man stood up, shook the gravel off his feet, and walked towards the river. He saw him standing by the river, his feet splashing in the water.

Suddenly, with the fat man as the center, the soil on his feet spread out in all directions, and a circle of crystal clear river water was instantly dyed black.

I thought that if there were any fish in this water, they would probably be mutated by the smoke.

The fat man splashed around in circles by the water for a few times. Finally he felt comfortable and started walking towards us.

Unexpectedly, after taking only a few steps, he suddenly stopped motionless by the water, looking slightly panicked!

When I saw something was wrong, I quickly asked what was going on? I saw him pointing at his feet and saying hesitantly:

"There are... there are... mechanisms!"

I was suddenly shocked. Before I had time to think about it, I saw a rectangular stone slab suddenly floating in the river.

Just when I thought the fat man was about to get cold, another stone slab floated up behind the stone slab.

Then the third block, the fourth block, the fifth block, the sixth block, the seventh block, extending to the other side of the river.

When I saw it, wasn’t this the road?

It turns out that what the fat man stepped on was not a trap, but a switch to the other side of the river!

I quickly gave a thumbs up to the fat man standing by the river in a daze, and said with a smile:

"Well done! I didn't bring you here in vain!"

At this time, the fat man looked confused. He looked at the stone slab beside him and scratched his head, as if he still didn't know what happened.

I turned around and winked at Zhang Tianyi, motioning him to go over and have a look, and then I walked towards the stone slab in the middle of the river.

When I walked to the river, I waved to the fat man and said:

"Let's go! Don't stand still, the road has been opened by you!"

When I said that, the fat man realized what he was doing. He smiled and said "Oh", then stepped on the stone slab and followed me.

Soon I reached the other side of the river. When I reached the other side, I discovered that this door was different from the previous tomb doors.

It is almost all painted, and there are many war-like scenes, and there are also many incomprehensible symbols and some totems carved on it.

But most of the paintings have fallen off, leaving only traces. As for the symbols, they are messy and have no meaning at all.

But in the lower right corner of the tomb door, there is a row of notches, which we call "traces".

It can also be understood as an inscription. When the tomb was being built, the tomb owner personally carved it on the tomb door. It is the tomb door recognized by the tomb owner.

Generally, if there are traces on the lower right or lower left corner of the tomb door, the main tomb chamber will be inside after opening the tomb door.

Of course, there are exceptions. In order to prevent their tombs from being stolen, some tomb owners will use blindfold methods to bury their main tombs elsewhere.

For example, I robbed a tomb from the Han Dynasty before. The tomb door was very ornate and there were traces on the lower right corner. Everyone thought that when opened, the main tomb chamber would be inside.

But when it was opened, it was found to be an empty ear chamber.

In the end, a secret door hidden in the wall was discovered on the wall 100 meters away from the ear chamber, and then the real main tomb chamber was found.

And generally, like this kind of tomb door, the mechanism to open the door is on the inside, and there is no mechanism to open the tomb door from the outside.

This was also a way to prevent tomb robbers in ancient times.

However, this kind of tomb door is excellent in preventing theft, but it also has great shortcomings. As long as you have experience, you can easily open the tomb door.

This kind of tomb door basically opens by pulling, so its upper and lower sides are thickly reinforced to prevent the tomb door from malfunctioning when it is opened and closed.

However, the walls on both sides of the tomb door are usually very thin and can be broken through with just a few hits with a hammer.

If someone cuts corners again, then the wall will probably be even thinner.

Fatty and I have opened many tomb doors like this, so we can feel all the ditches and bumps inside.

After confirming my whereabouts, I winked at the fat man. He nodded and patted his chest, looking confident.

Then he walked to the wall next to the tomb door and knocked on the bricks above with his hand, and a crisp sound rang out.

Soon, he determined his position and saw him take a few steps back.

Then he spit into the palm of his hand twice and rubbed his slightly fat biceps.

The fat man said "hehe", kicked his feet to the ground instantly, and hit the wall.
