Chapter 323 Distress

Under such circumstances, everyone can only go where Shunzi said. In this case, if they go back, they are more likely to die.

And just in case, everyone tied themselves up with a rope, so that they could look after each other in case of danger.

But not long after walking in the direction Shunzi said, suddenly Shunzi and his rake disappeared, and then Fatty Wang was behind him. In this case, Xie Yu couldn't react in time and was dragged away by the people in front.

After spinning for a while, Xie Yu knew that he had entered a snow nest that looked like a slope. Although he spun around a lot, he was probably fine.

However, not everything was fine. Shunzi fainted first. The fourth grandpa of the Chen family was old after all, and he also fainted due to the turbulence just now.

Xie Yu knew that it was easy to get hypothermia if you fainted in a snow nest on such a cold day. If you got hypothermia here, it would be fatal.

Only then, Ye Cheng shouted: "Wait a minute, what is that thing in the snow?"

Xie Yu noticed that there seemed to be several black and slender claws exposed inside the snowdrift.

Looking along the claws, a black thing about the thickness of a bucket was looming in the snowdrift. Its link-shaped body was covered with scales, some hidden in the snow and some exposed outside the snow.

At first glance, he thought it was a hibernating snake, but upon closer inspection, it looked like a centipede. However, Xie Yu looked at it carefully and shouted: "Stop screaming, it's not like this is a stone sculpture."

This stone carving made the tense atmosphere in the team relax. To be honest, Xie Yu was also a person who had slain a dragon. Xie Yu could still distinguish between dead things and living things.

But this thing does look weird. It might be a dragon. It has too many claws, like a centipede!

Since they were talking about stone carvings, everyone became interested again. Fatty Wang was the first to react, unbuckled his waist, and jumped down, probably because he wanted to see the full view of the black stone carvings.

Then Brother Menyouping also rushed down. Xie Yu thought about his medical qualification certificate and examined the two unconscious people.

The strange thing is that Chen Pi Ah Si suddenly woke up. Xie Yu did not expect that this old guy was in such good health.

Chen Pi Asi asked Xie Yu: "What's going on? Where is this!"

Xie Yu: "Four Grandpa, we fell into a snow nest, but a strange black stone sculpture appeared in the school nest."

Chen Pi Asi: "Stone sculpture? Take me to see it!"

At this time, several people below had already begun to argue about this black stone sculpture.

The fat man said: "Why is this dragon so ugly? It looks like a worm and looks extremely evil. It is much uglier than the dragon on the Forbidden City. It must have been damaged."

Monk Hua said: "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. This is a hundred-legged dragon, not a dragon. The early dragon sculptures of the Eastern Xia Kingdom all looked like this."

"Earlier in China, ancient Chinese dragons had very different shapes. Some dragons even had pig noses. This is not surprising."

The fat man heard what Monk Hua said and said with a smile: "Brother Scar, I don't see that you are quite knowledgeable. Then this stone should be from the Eastern Xia Kingdom."

Monk Hua looked at the stone carvings, then looked up at the top of the hillside, wondering: "That's right, but where did this stone with the dragon carving come from?"

Wu Xie looked at the traces at the fracture of the stone and said, "It may have collapsed from above. Grandpa Si is right. The place we want to go is still above."

"Look at the asymmetrical shape of this dragon. It's two dragons playing with a pearl. Such a stone sculpture should have one side, usually carved on a stone door, one on each side."

At this time, Xie Yu supported Chen Pi Asi and walked over. Chen Pi Asi coughed and said feebly: "Fart, I only know a little about it, and I'm talking nonsense. What's the stone gate? This is the sealing stone in the tomb passage."

As he spoke, Chen Pi Ah Si pointed at the dragon's mouth. Monk Hua immediately understood. He immediately reached over and put his hand into the dragon's mouth. When he pulled it, he pulled out a black iron chain as thick as his wrist.

Fatty Wang looked at it and said jokingly: "Oh, it's over, Monk Hua, you've torn out the dragon's intestines."

Chen Pi Asi said: "This is the horse chain used to pull the sealing stone when sealing the tomb. This side is the inward side."

Wu Xie blushed when Chen Pi Asi said it. He looked around and said, "Ah, indeed, I saw it wrong, but why did Feng Shi appear here?"

Monk Hua pulled hard on the iron chain, but the stone did not move at all. A trace of doubt flashed across Chen Pi's face. He shook his head and looked up.

At this time, Xie Yu's nose moved slightly, and after smelling it carefully, she said in her mind: "Everyone, don't think about anything else, just smell it carefully."

Wu Xie knew this Xie Yu a little bit, and knew that he would not make a mistake. He smelled it carefully for a few times, and said with a smile on his face: "It's sulfur. It smells like sulfur. There are hot springs near here."

When everyone heard the word hot spring, they couldn't help but feel shocked, and they all turned into police dogs and started looking for it.

Wu Xie was smart, so he went directly to find Brother Menyouping for help.

Soon Menyou Ping had leaned down and touched the stones underneath one by one with his two long fingers. Suddenly he frowned, said "Yes" and turned to the side of the centipede-coated dragon sealing stone.

The oil bottle guy touched the faucet, looked behind the stone, put his hand on the faucet, pressed it, and said, "The smell of sulfur comes from here. It's strange. There is nothing behind the faucet."

Everyone was naturally overjoyed that there might be a steaming crack in the ground behind the dragon sealing stone, which is why the smell of sulfur came out.

This is really good news for the group. In such an environment, having a stable heat source can definitely save lives.

However, this huge black Coiling Dragon Sealing Stone is pressed on it. Although there are no measuring tools, visual inspection shows that it weighs at least more than ten tons. No one has any digging equipment, so it is really difficult to turn it over.

Fatty Wang was a man of action. He raised his arms and asked everyone to move the stone. Several people went up and tried to carry it twice. The group of people were sweating profusely and their faces were red, but the stone did not move at all.

Fatty Wang panted and cursed: "No, old man, I told you that our equipment was not good enough. Look at the current situation, it would be better to have some explosives."

Monk Hua immediately retorted: "Fat Wang, if you want to be buried alive by an avalanche, you can try explosives. If this is just stupid, don't say it."

Fatty Wang suddenly muttered depressedly, not knowing who he was angry with.

However, Wu Xie, who studied architecture, had a smart mind. He saw many stones of different sizes stuck on the lower edge of the Panlong Stone. He had an idea and said to everyone: "Maybe you don't need explosives, let me do it."

As he spoke, Wu Xie took out a masonry hammer from his luggage, walked to the side of the Panlong sealing stone, and carefully inspected the larger stones below.

Then he aimed at one of the rocks and struck it with his inner hand. On the one hand, the rock was subjected to more than ten tons of pressure, and on the other hand, it received a sideways hammer blow from Wu Xie, and it immediately cracked a crack.

Immediately afterwards, there were a series of sounds of stone friction, and the Panlong sealing stone above suddenly changed due to the support force and the direction of the force, and began to slide along the stone slope.

Everyone quickly stepped back. The Panlong Sealing Stone slid down a few inches and began to tilt again. However, the stone was too heavy and it slid a little and stopped.

Even so, everyone still saw a rock crack on the mountain exposed behind the sealing stone. The rock crack was as wide as a head, and people should be able to pass through it.
