Chapter 639 The tomb changed by nature
Lin Ran felt relieved after hearing Zhenbao's answer.
Together they stepped behind the wall.
Behind the stone door, there is actually a downward marble step.
"Is this the passage leading to the tomb of Taizu of Liao Dynasty?" Liu Jingfeng took a flashlight and shined it behind him.
Lin Ran did not respond.
He glanced at Huang Hao, who also looked at him doubtfully.
Yesterday evening, they studied Feng Shui together.
The layout here is very unique!
This mountain range is all located on the grassland, and the remaining branches of the Greater and Lesser Khingan Mountains converge here, presenting a pattern of three peaks vying for glory.
But there are many canyons between the large and small Prague Mountains.
The waves rise and fall, just like life and death.
According to their point of view, this place is not suitable for building a tomb, and it is difficult for the deceased to be buried in peace.
The only possibility is that the Feng Shui master around Yelu Abaoji has limited strength, or they could not find a better burial place, so they built the tomb door here!
Instead, Huang Hao said encouragingly: "Yes, boss, even if it is not the tomb of Taizu of Liao Dynasty, the identity of the tomb owner is not simple."
"Indeed." The mausoleum can be built in the deep mountains and old forests. Judging from the organization, it has a history of hundreds of years.
Wang Jinpeng and Zhenbao took the lead, walking in the corridor.
They are not only responsible for lighting, but also for unlocking the mechanism.
Lin Ran was still walking in the middle of the team. In order to take care of Xu Yi, he asked him to follow Lin Ran.
Originally, according to the plan, Xu Yi was waiting for them at the door.
But he is too timid, just like Xu Ning.
He didn't dare to wait up there alone, so he mustered up the courage to come down with them.
Fortunately, although he was scared, he didn't show it and just walked closer to people.
They walked down for more than ten minutes before they saw a cave entrance.
The sound of howling wind came from the cave entrance.
"It turned out to be a living cave?" Lin Ran was a little surprised. Being able to ventilate means that the seal here is not enough, which is a taboo for building tombs.
Wang Jinpeng, who was walking at the front, took a flashlight and shined it at the entrance of the cave, then looked around, turned around and said to us: "It looks like a cave."
After confirming that there was no danger, they stepped into the cave entrance together.
A magical scene appeared. They were not trapped in the secret room.
Instead, I saw cliffs.
This cave entrance is actually built on a vertical rock wall.
Looking at the sky outside, it has gradually darkened, and it is difficult to see the specific direction.
On the other side, it is a dead end.
They stayed at the entrance of the cave. Was it a trap deliberately set by others?
"That's wrong." Lin Ran came to the cliff and shined a flashlight on the wall.
They were not on a separate cliff, but less than two meters away from the cave entrance was another mountain peak.
The gap was very short, so he shined a flashlight down.
It was found that there were many raised rocks below the entrance of the cave.
Although it is not obvious, it can be seen that it has been carefully restored.
Because there is a rusty iron chain on the wall.
Lin Ran's face was ashen and he said to everyone: "This is not a dead end, but the road ahead is indeed very dangerous."
He told everyone the general situation. It was like the plank road in Huashan Mountain. You had to hold on to the iron chain with one hand and step on the raised stones that were only half the size of a foot with your feet, and keep going down.
He couldn't guarantee exactly where he would go.
"Look carefully at the mountain wall on the opposite side. There are iron chains on it, which means that there were originally steps here, but due to changes in the mountain structure, it split into two halves." Lin Ran sighed.
Even if they could successfully conduct archeology, it would be absolutely impossible to bring something out from inside.
Therefore, he wanted to tell everyone about the situation.
"We are here to decide whether to continue moving forward. The road ahead is very dangerous, and there is an abyss of several hundred meters below." Lin Ran said to Liu Jingfeng, "You make the decision."
"Yes." Liu Jingfeng understood what Lin Ran meant and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, if you want to move on, clear out all the unnecessary things in your backpack. If you don't want to move on, you can turn back now and wait for us in the stone house."
Finally, he added: "If we haven't come back after a month, you can go back by yourself."
The words were full of heaviness.
They couldn't help but think of Lu Yingjie's previous warning.
"Brother Lin, you have been going to the grave too frequently during this period. Can you wait for us outside?" Liu Jingfeng saw that everyone was still reluctant to express his position and took the initiative to persuade Lin Ran.
Of course Lin Ran refused. The true shape of the tomb of Taizu Taizu of the Liao Dynasty had never been discovered before, so of course he wanted to be a pioneer.
Unexpectedly, no one is willing to back down in the face of danger.
Xu Yi felt warm in his heart when he saw it, but he still raised his hand.
"I'm not in good health. Following you will only hinder me, so I won't go." He seemed very self-aware.
Liu Jingfeng nodded happily, someone finally started.
"Master Zhenbao, I have a heartfelt request." Xu Ning said, "My uncle is afraid of ghosts. Master Zhenbao, if you are not in good health, you should stay away from the road ahead."
"If I don't go, who will help you unlock the trap?" In fact, Zhenbao doesn't want to move forward, but he can't let go of these brothers who are in danger of life and death.
"It doesn't matter, don't you still have me here?" Lin Ran said, "Brother Lu's notes have recorded countless dangerous mechanisms, and ordinary mechanisms should not be mentioned."
Everyone gives up his place to others.
"Okay." Zhenbao sighed, "I'm too old to keep up with the young people. Come on."
In this way, they divided the teams.
The five people who were about to set off took out everything from their backpacks except food and flashlights to lighten their load.
It is not yet known what the weight of the rocks on the edge of the cliff is.
Wang Jinpeng planned to carry tools there, but it was impossible to carry nothing. They had not reached the tomb gate yet.
But Lin Ran snatched his backpack.
"You're too heavy, don't carry so many things." He took out the tools inside and divided them equally with Huang Hao, giving himself a little more.
"This way the weight will be balanced. Let's set off." Lin Ran made an estimate.
"Thanks, brother." Wang Jinpeng rarely joked.
They came to the cave entrance and looked at the dark valley bottom.
"Are you ready? Let's go!"
Now, the sky outside is completely dark, and all the light is illuminated by the flashlight held in the mouth of Wang Jinpeng, who is walking at the front.
Although in the end, Zhenbao and Xu Yi were using flashlights to help them light the way, it was just better than nothing.
Walking in the darkness, in addition to the stones under your feet, there are iron chains at hand, feeling the howling wind.
It's okay to walk on the top. The distance between the walls is not wide. Even if you accidentally fall, you can still hold on to the opposite wall.
But the further you go down, the distance between the rock walls becomes larger and larger.
Fortunately, the rocks below are getting bigger and bigger. Sure enough, they used to be steps, but due to geographical reasons, they were torn in half!
