Chapter 20: Entrance to the Tomb. Dragon Ladder
Through the valley, the road between the two mountains has also been repaired. Because of the elves, we accidentally learned the entrance, so we did not need to use witchcraft to detect it.
When we arrived in front of the huge waterfall, the horses left by the horses were found, all of which were stocked in the oasis, and on the side of the waterfall, there were fires and tents they left behind.
There are many signs of people moving around, and the time for the fire varies from day to day.
"It seems that there are many people coming, and we should be the ones that are the most backward."
Yao Mei looked at the fires of all sizes and sighed. The earliest fire had been around for about four or five days. After such a long period of fault, I suspected that the tomb had been emptied.
"It's not that simple, this tomb is not that easy to steal."
Xiao Shi said, he did not avoid suspicion this time, but showed up directly.
Suddenly, he was so scared that he jumped away, and then looked at me with a look of defense.
"What's on your shoulder?"
She pointed at Xiao Shi with one hand and asked, her face full of tension. After all, anyone who can talk will be surprised when they see it for the first time.
"The girl is not a thing, she is called cute."
Xiao Shi glared at her fiercely and expressed his dissatisfaction.
"A talking dog? How powerful and cute, how did you get Wuming?"
The dissatisfied Xiaoshi's eyes turned into cuteness in the demonic eyes. She stepped forward and quickly brought Xiaoshi over.
Then he hugged it in his arms and rubbed it hard to make Xiao Shi complain. After finally breaking out of her arms, Xiao Shi jumped onto my shoulders desperately and then invisible again.
“Where did you go?”
At this moment, the demonic charm was like a new big 6, and kept looking at me.
"Stop making trouble, Yao Mei, he is my partner, Xiao Shi actually lets you see him, so please help me keep this secret!"
I don’t want too many people to know about Xiao Shi’s existence. After all, he is too special. Once more people know, he will cause endless trouble.
"Yeah, I'll be conservative, call him out quickly."
Yaomei didn't know if she understood what I said. Anyway, I felt that her attention was completely on Xiao Shi at this time, and I also underestimated that Xiao Shi, a bit too cute guy, was almost twice as lethal to women.
"I'll deal with it myself."
He lifted Xiao Shi down from his shoulder and threw it to Yao Mei, but he suddenly ejected his wings in the air and flew into the air to watch us.
"Ahem... let's go down the hole."
After saying that, he fell into the water alone regardless of our consent.
I shrugged at Yao Mei helplessly and signaled that I couldn't, after all, I couldn't force Xiao Shi to do something I didn't like.
"It's okay, when I go out of the tomb, I will spend money to buy it for you, it's okay."
Yaomei smiled and jumped into the water with her object in her back. I stood there and looked at the man and dog that had already flown downstream.
He shook his head helplessly and jumped into the water with his back.
According to the elves, the location of the cave entrance was just below the waterfall. I entered the water and held my breath downstream. At first, the water was filled with bubbles, which was caused by the impact of the water flow.
When you enter about four or five meters, a stone slab appears in front of you, like a lid, which isolates the impact of the water flow.
I swam under the lid, which was pitch black inside, with very low visibility, so I had to take out the waterproof flashlight.
The tower lit up with a loud bang, and the light of the flashlight shone a passage in the water ahead.
The demon was swimming in front of me, and I followed closely and swam in about five to six meters.
The passage began to move upwards and became narrower, so I had to let the bag go first. I followed behind, with a narrow position that was even enough for one person to barely pass through.
Finally finally squeezed out of the passage, I saw a bright light on the water above.
He pushed the bag and swam towards it. He suddenly poked out of the water and looked around. We were in a circular pool.
It's not big, it looks like a 100-meter range, while Yaomei is standing on the shore, holding a flashlight in her hand, waving at me.
I pushed the bag and swam towards her. Xiao Shi, who came in first, squatted on a stone platform and looked at the stone wall carefully.
"Come here and see who knows this kind of article?"
Xiao Shi shouted.
I just got ashore and before I could dry my clothes, I ran towards him. Xiao Shi was squatting down on the stone wall on the shore of the pool.
The carving was not big, just the size of a palm, and the carving was rough. I looked carefully several times before I recognized a few words.
"There are big tombs, hurry up, escape"
“What about the others?”
Xiao Ten Q&A.
"It's too blurry, I can't see clearly"
I shook my head helplessly. I didn't know if it was the impact of the water flow or how it dripped. The handwriting was blurred, and the force used when carving was particularly strong, and the font showed signs of crookedness.
This can be calculated that the carving person should have been very anxious at the time, as if he had encountered something urgent.
He wanted to leave words to tell people later, perhaps about the secrets of the tomb, but the time was too long and the handwriting was blurred.
"If you can't see clearly, don't look. Now you are careful at the beginning. There are mechanisms everywhere here. If you are not careful, you will feel regretful."
Xiao Shi spoke.
Yaomei and I nodded. I found that after Xiao Shi entered the tomb, he suddenly became like a human being, and he was also a tomb robber.
This made me curious. After packing up my things, I shook the water from my clothes and carried my backpack to continue on the road.
There is a passage in front, built very straight, and the material used is rare white marble.
In ancient times, the tomb owner who could pave such a passage with white marble must have very strong financial resources.
I also suspected that the tomb was buried with an emperor. However, after thinking about the emperor in history, there was no rumor that the emperor was buried in the desert.
I walked in front, the demon followed behind, and the light of the flashlight passed through the dark curtain and shone a long distance, which made our sight clearer.
When I first entered the tomb, I was inexplicably excited, but a little scared, because I was afraid of the unknown.
None of us spoke, and after walking about fifty meters, we suddenly realized the clearance ahead, and a space that was dug out appeared in front.
The space was chiseled into a slope, and then steps were built in the middle. The two sides were smooth and bright stone walls, and eight dragons were carved, one on each side, with the dragon head biting the dragon's tail and coiling on the stone wall.
"Is it really an imperial tomb?"
I was very happy. The appearance of the imperial tomb means huge gold, silver and treasures, and rare treasures!
"Don't look like a lustful look, be wary!"
Xiao Shi poured a basin of cold water on his head, which made me lose my skin.
"Let's go up first, it seems that the real entrance is the above."
Yao Mei said, after saying that, she was about to raise her foot and go up, but I immediately grabbed her.
"Do you want to die? Do you know what is hidden in this staircase?"
"It's quite ordinary, is there anything weird?"
The demonic head was full of doubts. I realized that this guy was afraid he didn't know anything about tomb robbers and was just here to be a thug.
"This is called the dragon ladder. In ancient times, emperors liked to compare themselves to the supreme of the Nine Dragons, so they usually carve dragon patterns on the steps in front of the tomb. This is also the reason why I guess it is an imperial tomb. Generally, such steps hide Nine Dragons."
The so-called hidden nine dragons means that you can only see eight dragons, the ninth is hidden, and this hidden ninth dragon is the way to the steps.
A big tomb like this, if you take a wrong step, you will instantly lose your body, because the mechanism used in a large tomb was the best at that time.
Even after learning the essence of wisdom of the ancients for many years, some people still have to write it on it.
"It's still a professional person"
Yao Mei smiled awkwardly and quickly moved away from her body. I glanced at the steps, thought about it in my heart, and then turned off the flashlight in my hand.
"Beware of the surroundings and turn off the flashlight."
"Um"
Yaomei nodded, pressed the flashlight's switch, and heard a sound of a slap, and the surroundings fell into darkness.
"Looking at the steps carefully"
Xiao Shi said on his shoulder, I closed my eyes and crawled down.
Closely attached to the ground, looking up the steps with your afterglow. In the dark environment, you can vaguely see faint light scattered on the steps.
I found the closest point and set the location.
Take out the fire stick from the bag, blew it a few times, and slowly turn the fire stick towards the position I set.
The flames swayed in the air for a few times, and a puff sound was heard, and a fire pattern began to burn up the steps from the starting point.
Soon the fire illuminated the surroundings, and a clear fire dragon suddenly appeared in our sight.
"The dragon is divided into nine points, start from the end, remember that there are only nine steps, and nine steps must be completed"
I said to the demon.
She nodded and was the first to jump out. Her body was like a light swallow, running along the dragon pattern in nine steps, and then stood on it and waited for me.
Taking a deep breath, I jumped up quickly as she used the method she had just used.
Each step is quite hard, after all, the steps are very long, and if the steps are small, you can't finish the steps by nine steps.
Chapter completed!
