Chapter 416 Exploring the Holy Tower at Night
After untying the rope, Lin Ran quickly moved his hands.
The man just now was so strong, carrying the two of them was like carrying rice, one on each shoulder.
Walking back from the mountain to the village, I was not out of breath.
With such ability, Wang Jinpeng and Xu Ning must be no match for him if they team up.
Besides, he also has a bow and arrow as a weapon!
It can be said to be extremely dangerous!
Lin Ran thought to himself that if he continued to hide the truth from the village chief, he was afraid that the last person who could protect them would lose trust in them.
So, he asked: "Village chief, according to your custom, what kind of punishment will be given to outsiders who enter the holy tower?"
"Punishment?" the village chief snorted, "That's divine punishment! What's suppressed under the holy tower is the monsters and monsters on the mountain. Our village can survive until now in peace and safety only because of the blessing of the mountain god in the tower!"
When talking about the mountain god, the village chief couldn't help but show a pious expression.
Perhaps other matters can be negotiated, but the Holy Tower is definitely the bottom line that cannot be touched!
Back in the tent, your altitude sickness has finally eased.
After a day of adaptation, Zhenbao can get up.
Seeing Lin Ran and his wife coming back, they quickly asked: "Brother Lin, Mouse, have you found any valuable clues?"
"We have discovered the location of the entrance." Huang Hao said.
"Really? That's great. We've almost rested. How about we take action tonight." Liu Jingfeng also knew that it was not too late.
Others also had excited expressions on their faces. No matter how you look at it, the owner of the tomb is a Tubo noble, and there must be a lot of cultural relics inside.
But Huang Hao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "There is also bad news. There are guards near the Holy Tower. We were caught in action today."
Lin Ran told them what happened on the mountain.
Liu Jingfeng did not show any frustration, but took the branches and started drawing on the land.
"According to what you said, there are herdsmen grazing at the foot of the mountain. This is the first line of defense."
"There are traps on the outer circle of the Holy Tower. This is the second line of defense."
"Even if we break through the trap, we will encounter guards. This is the third line of defense."
Liu Jingfeng drew a rough diagram on the ground according to Lin Ran's description.
There is only one road up the mountain. There is a wooden house at the foot of the mountain with many sheep.
"It's actually very simple to avoid them. After all, what we do is robbing tombs." Liu Jingfeng and the others each wore mouse clothes.
This village is relatively old and has no street lights, so the mouse clothes can be of maximum value!
"As for the trap, you were caught today. I wonder if a new trap will be designed. Master Zhenbao, the follow-up work will be left to you."
Zhenbao leaned against a stone. Although he had regained his breath, he was still a little weak.
However, he still nodded and said: "As long as there are traps set by people, there will be flaws, and I can find them."
"Okay. The last one is the guard. I don't know if he will leave at night. If he doesn't leave, Wang Jinpeng, let's take him with us." Liu Jingfeng spoke with confidence.
"No problem." Wang Jinpeng pressed his knuckles loudly.
"No." Lin Ran quickly persuaded, "You think it's too simple!"
"what happened?"
"We went to the Holy Tower to find out the owner of the tomb and to take out the cultural relics inside. Do you plan to kill the villagers?"
"Of course not. We just plan to tie him up first and take him to the grave with us. We will let him go when we finish the work." Liu Jingfeng explained, "We are not from the Northern Sect, and we will not do anything to kill people and silence them." Yes."
Lin Ran shook his head, not to mention whether Wang Jinpeng was a match for the Mountain Protector.
They offended the villagers and still wanted to leave unharmed. It was a dream.
"I think this will be dangerous." Lin Ran said, "We should find a way to get the village chief and villagers to accept our idea."
"It would be great if you are willing to accept it." Liu Jingfeng sighed, "I don't mind using money to buy them off. Money can make ghosts go around, but some ghosts can't be bought."
"Actually, we are helping them solve their problems." Lin Ran replied resolutely, "We are not just for the cultural relics inside, but also for the truth to surface."
The living environment of the local people is very bad. Originally, this generation should be classified as no man's land.
But in order to protect the Holy Tower, they gave up the idea of leaving.
They also regarded the fertile local pasture as a favor from the mountain god.
In fact, the climate here is cold and dry, making it unsuitable for growing any crops except pasture.
If they move to another place to live, they will definitely be able to live a better life!
Although their beliefs were firm, what Lin Ran did was not to dilute their beliefs, but to make them look at the Holy Tower from a scientific and developmental perspective.
Lin Ran expressed his thoughts, Liu Jingfeng nodded, but then replied: "Brother Lin, there are some traditions that you cannot destroy. Believe me, I will not destroy the internal structure, important cultural relics, and I will also work with you." As you agreed, sell it to the local museum at a low price."
This was the agreement between them, and Liu Jingfeng clearly remembered it in his heart.
The others also nodded slightly, and after discussion, they decided to set off that night.
Although Lin Ran didn't want to go, he thought to himself that the person who tied the bell must untie it.
If the source of the legend could be found, there might be room for detours.
However, everyone in the team was ready to go, so he could only follow behind.
I can only hope that no accident occurs.
Wearing mouse clothes and taking advantage of the darkness, they were not discovered by the herdsmen at the foot of the mountain.
Arriving near the Holy Tower, Lin Ran still had an impression of the trap during the day, but he found that some bushes had obviously been moved.
Apparently, after the mountain guard drove them down the mountain, they realized that the trap had been broken, so they redesigned the trap.
Fortunately, they brought experts here this time, and even in the darkness, with the help of the weak flashlight light, they still arrived at the foot of the holy tower safe and sound.
Looking at the Holy Tower up close, everyone had incredible expressions on their faces.
This holy tower actually does not rise from bottom to top like other towers.
Looking at the bottom of the mountain, you can see the holy tower.
However, at the entrance on the mountainside, it looks from the top of the tower to the downstairs.
The position they occupied was at the top of the tower!
Explore from top to bottom, if you can open the entrance door.
"Brother Lin, what do you think of this stone?" Liu Jingfeng also noticed the stone, but he didn't expect the entrance to be placed in such a conspicuous position.
This nobleman is really not afraid of tomb robbers.
"These are just ordinary stones. After such a long period of weathering, they may have already integrated with the surrounding stones." Lin Ran checked their gaps during the day and could only describe them as perfect.
This is not a stone gate, but a natural stone.
The most likely possibility is that the stones have become one.
If you want to open it, there is a best way, which is to work hard and dig directly!
