Chapter 1187: Trust
The patterns on it look like snakes but not snakes, and some are similar to humans.
They have been presented in a standing position, holding objects in both hands.
The one held in the left hand looks a bit like an umbrella, but the one held in the right hand is definitely a bowl.
It looks like a Buddhist praying for alms.
But his head was as pointed as a snake, and his small eyes revealed a fierce light.
"What is this?" Wang Jinpeng asked.
"It's probably some god's residence that the ancient people believed in. If I'm right, there is their tomb behind this." Lin Ran couldn't answer. This snake was beyond his knowledge.
No one else was interested in studying the patterns on it.
Wang Jinpeng tried to push: "There is no sign that this stone door has been opened. Are we going the wrong way?"
Lin Ran looked around and saw that there should be a secret passage.
Is the treasure hunt missing the door or finding another entrance?
The way they do things should just blow the door open.
But they didn't do that. Could it be that the explosives have been used up?
It is possible for this kind of thing to happen to a small team of tomb robbers, but a large organization like the Treasure Hunting Association, which has been operating for many years, should not make such a stupid mistake.
Wang Jinpeng and Xu Ning have arrived at the door.
They pried open the gap in the stone door using the same method they used to get down to the tomb.
Finally, Wang Jinpeng wiped the sweat from his forehead: "This door is thicker than expected."
"Indeed, it is not far from the arch. The arch has been blasted. There must have been a violent explosion, but there is no trace left on this door." Lin Ran looked at the distance between the two doors. Less than ten meters.
Being able to blow open the outer door will leave more or less traces on the inner door.
At this time, Hongwu found a stone slab on the ground nearby, which seemed to have been moved.
He was about to move the stone slabs when Lin Ran stopped him.
"Let me check first." There are traps everywhere in the ancient tomb. Lin Ran has dealt with too many traps, so he is naturally full of precautions.
He carefully checked twice, and after eliminating all possibilities from hidden arrows to falling rocks, he and Wang Jinpeng moved the stone slab away.
As a result, after the stone slab was removed, a hole half a meter wide appeared.
"It's a robbery hole!"
Lin Ran couldn't understand why this person was doing this in vain?
It has already been blown up, so why not just blow it up to the bottom instead of opening a robbery hole like this?
Among so many people, only Hongwu was the smallest.
So everyone suggested letting him get in there and try it first.
Hong Wu was naturally frightened, but looking at Lao Hei's encouraging eyes, he gritted his teeth and got through.
Lin Ran's figure should be able to get in, but it would be more troublesome for the other people.
Especially Lao Hei, who is as strong as a bear.
Hong Wu turned sideways, threw his backpack outside, bit the flashlight in his mouth, tightened his shoulders, and crawled sideways through the hole.
"How's it going inside?" Lao Hei asked eagerly.
"It's pitch black and I can't see anything with my flashlight," Hong Wu replied.
This situation reminded him of the last time he went to the tomb of the Queen of the Kingdom of Jin. Because there was no reference object, the light of the flashlight could not judge the road ahead.
"Don't act in a hurry. Just touch it with your hands and look at the nearby terrain." Lin Ran was directing from outside.
Hong Wu definitely couldn't be left alone inside at this time, he had to go and help.
Hong Wu lowered his body and groped on the ground.
"The space inside is quite large. It should be no problem for everyone to come in together." Hong Wu pointed the way at the cave entrance from inside with a flashlight shining on it.
Lin Ran was the second one, and the last one was Lao Hei.
His body was indeed too big, but he was strong enough to squeeze in.
After entering the cave, Wang Jinpeng wanted to light the candle.
They set off in a hurry this time and didn't have time to prepare torches?
"Don't light a fire." Lin Ran held Wang Jinpeng's hand that wanted to light a fire and said, "The entrance to the robbery cave is sealed, and the air circulation inside is not smooth. Don't light a fire."
"What should we do? What if there is a trap ahead?" Wang Jinpeng retracted his hand.
The five of them now stood side by side.
"Just use a flashlight." Lin Ran lit up his flashlight.
But when I looked ahead, it was so dark that I couldn't see anything.
It was very similar to the scene of the underground river last time. No matter how strong the flashlight was, it seemed to be swallowed up by the darkness in front of me.
At this time, Lin Ran pointed the flashlight at the ground.
Just look at your own feet to form a natural reference.
With this method, you can only see clearly two steps away at most, and you can't see anything further away.
Everyone had to slow down to avoid missing the mark.
In this kind of environment, the possibility of traps is not high. The darkness itself is a trap.
What they have to be careful about is stepping into an opening, and there is no guarantee that there will be a landing spot next to it.
Lao Hei followed at the end of the team. He seemed a little uneasy. He always felt that there was someone behind him, but when he looked back, he found nothing special.
Lao Hei was glad that he came with Lin Ran and others. In fact, before this, the local masters often ran the family business.
The young are inside and the old are outside, and few people go to the grave with others.
Most tombs don’t contain many valuable things.
Only when they encounter such a top-level tomb will they form a temporary gang.
But inside the tomb, in addition to cracking the traps set by the tomb owner, intrigues between the teams are also inevitable.
This was the first time he had seen such a team of mutual trust developed by Liu Jingfeng.
After working together twice, he also developed a certain amount of trust in the team.
But there is a strange feeling in the heart. They go to the grave not just to make money.
The cultural relics in several large tombs were sold to museums at low prices.
If it ends up on the black market, the price can at least triple.
Even if you keep it in your hands and wait for its value to gradually increase, it is better than donating it to a museum.
He had this confusion in his heart, but he never raised it.
He was worried that members of Liu Jingfeng’s team would become defensive against him.
Even if they don't know their purpose, their behavior has won Lao Hei's trust.
Trust is particularly important in unknown tombs.
If they can't trust each other, they will face not only the secret passages of the agencies in the ancient tomb, but also the backstabs of their teammates.
Before Lao Hei became the leader of tomb robbers in Cangzhou, he had already learned from the past.
The team walked in front of him, leaving behind them completely to him.
Since they are so assured of themselves, Lao Hei is not someone who repays kindness with evil.
He was thinking about the past in his mind, and his mentality slowed down a little.
"There is a hole in front, let me go in and take a look first." In the darkness, Wang Jinpeng suddenly shouted.
The others responded and helped Wang Jinpeng shine the flashlight.
I saw him tightening his body and quickly getting into a black hole.
