Chapter 1277: Entering the Palace
Lin Ran's suggestion was to go around.
Because of Lin Ran's test just now, several people who had already relaxed their guard became vigilant again.
Next to the steps, there are two platforms.
You can try climbing up from the fences on both sides.
But Lao Hei was still more alert. He held the railing and tried it with a little force.
After many tests, I made sure there was no trap before taking action.
He climbed up quickly and then joined the others on top.
They have arrived at the palace gate.
Lin Ran looked up and observed the structure of the palace.
This palace is still full of oriental classical beauty.
The cornices are carved with gluttonous patterns and the railings are full of patterns.
But compared with the real palace, it still lacks some royal atmosphere.
Because the entire palace is directly on top, there are no rubbles, and the entire palace is made of bluestone. There is no red and yellow aristocratic atmosphere, so that the entire palace looks lifeless.
"It seems that this palace should be a tomb!" Lao Hei said.
Lin Ran nodded, "We have to be careful, there may be traps inside."
"Don't worry! I know what's going on!" Lao Hei responded and came to the door.
I looked inside at the door and tried to push it. It turned out that the door was not sealed and could be pushed.
Lao Hei was cruel, pushed open the door, and stepped aside.
This move can be used to prevent being hurt by hidden arrows after opening the door.
But no trap appeared. Lao Hei came to the door again and looked inside with a flashlight. It was empty.
He walked at the front and walked in first.
Others followed.
Enter through the door facing the steps and keep walking forward.
The door in the palace was not sealed and was left open.
A group of people easily entered the palace.
However, it was completely different from the splendid scenery as imagined, and it seemed very empty inside.
Lao Hei looked around in disbelief with his flashlight, imagining that the palace already contained a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, or at least some bronzes, but now, not even a shadow could be seen.
There was no gold, no treasure chest, not even a trace of the burial objects.
He felt cheated.
"This palace looks so luxurious from the outside, but it turns out to be just an empty shelf." Lao Hei looked very disappointed.
Baibai was excited outside for a while.
There were multiple layers of traps designed outside the palace, but it turned out that there was nothing inside. They risked their lives to get here.
Is it possible that the treasures inside the palace have been captured by others first?
Having said that, Lao Hei and the others were naturally unwilling.
I walked around the hall, but there wasn't even a table here.
Except for a few standing pillars, there was no place to hide.
"This is really a barren land, not even a hair." Wang Jinpeng said, leaning on a pillar.
"Be careful." Lin Ran saw that he was about to get closer and quickly reminded him.
The traps outside the palace were warning them that there might be more than just these traps inside the palace.
You have to be extremely careful when walking and staying.
"It's okay. Is there anything else we can do with this pillar?" Wang Jinpeng smiled and patted it.
"Why is there nothing inside?" Lao Hei was a little annoyed.
Lin Ran also found it strange that there were clearly traps set up outside the palace, but there was neither a coffin nor any funeral objects inside.
Even if it's not a mausoleum, there should at least be some items from the imperial court.
Is it possible that in the era when this palace was built, court officials were also so poor?
Judging from the appearance of the palace, this possibility is slim.
So, he had the same idea.
It is possible that the palace had been visited by other tomb robbers before them.
Lao Hei walked up to Lin Ran and asked, "Brother Lin, if there is a secret passage, where do you think it will be?"
He definitely wouldn't be willing to leave like this.
Lin Ran said: "Then I guess I have to look for it."
It was his first time here, but others subconsciously trusted him.
Lin Ran didn't want to betray their trust, but it was probably not easy to find the mechanism of the secret passage in the empty hall.
The only suspicious things here are these pillars.
The other thing is the floor. They can check separately to see if the floor is loose.
But the total number of floors here is at least more than 200.
It takes a lot of time to search piece by piece.
Already a little tired, Wang Jinpeng said: "Let's take a rest."
Lin Ran nodded and let them rest where they were.
And he simulated it in his mind.
If he were a craftsman, how would he set the trap to make the palace.
But judging from the steps and railings outside, no one should have been here.
Unless there is a tomb guard clan, repair the trap after others have triggered it.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the tomb robbers not to trigger such a hidden trap.
Moreover, there are no traces of anything ever existing on this ground.
If there is a treasure chest, there will definitely be jagged spots on the thick dusty ground, leaving some marks.
The ground here doesn't look like anything has been placed there.
This ancient city may actually be a large mausoleum.
Could it be that the palace is just a cover-up and the real treasure is actually hidden in private houses?
This idea is possible, but if you use this idea to search, you have to search all the houses in the underground city.
It is much more time-consuming than checking every floor in the palace.
Just thinking about it makes me feel tired.
Unless a whole archaeological team comes in, this kind of investigation method will definitely consume a lot of time and manpower.
The most important thing is that there are only four of them now.
In a crisis-ridden underground city, dispersion is absolutely irrational behavior.
They must act together so that they can take care of them when they encounter danger.
"These ancient tombs are really evil." Lin Ran said that when he heard the stories about going to the tombs in his previous life, he just smiled knowingly, thinking that they were making up stories to scare other people.
Unexpectedly, after actually engaging in this industry, I discovered that there are quite a lot of mysteries in it.
This ancient city is already dwarfed by the several large tombs we saw before.
The ancient tomb on the mountain is what really kills people.
The biggest problem now is that we don’t know what kind of people are buried in these ancient tombs.
Now that you are here, you still have to be prepared. If you encounter danger in the palace, it may be difficult to escape.
Fortunately, their psychological quality is strong enough. Anyone else would have been frightened to death.
Lin Ran came to the wall while thinking.
It is a smooth wall with no carved patterns.
