Chapter 298 Hidden Tomb
Chapter 298 Hidden Tomb
"Weiwei, here!"
Pei Yan stepped on the weeds and moved them to the side, then turned around and waved in the direction of Qin Wei.
"coming!"
Her eyes immediately lit up and she walked towards Pei Yan.
Shen Yao also went in that direction, turned around and looked in the direction where Gu Chaoxi had originally gone, but did not see anyone.
"Chao Xi?"
He called out, but there was no response.
Pei Yan looked in the direction of Shen Yao, and the next moment his gaze turned to Gu Chaoxi, but that person was not in his sight.
"Chaoxi!" He was a little anxious and took a few steps in that direction, a little worried.
"Chao Xi? Chao Xi!"
"Here!" Gu Chaoxi responded in a hoarse voice and reached out to the thing hanging on the tree trunk.
Before she got up, she didn't realize that this thing was so difficult to hold.
Why do I feel so far away only now that I have climbed up the tree?
Hearing her voice, Pei Yan felt relieved.
Then he looked in the direction of the sound.
Gu Chaoxi's hand just happened to touch the hanging thing, luckily, it was just within reach.
She lay against the tree, breathed a sigh of relief, and carefully backed away.
Qin Wei had already walked to Pei Yan's side. After digging up the ground, he found an entrance that looked like a cellar.
However, it seems that this entrance is from a long, long time ago.
It is about half a meter square and appears to be made of bronze, with a sunken spot in it.
Qin Wei squatted down, pulled aside the weeds, and touched it with his hand.
There is a hole in this depression where something can be inserted, but it is probably impossible to find that thing right now.
Gu Chaoxi fell from the tree trunk and rolled on the ground before getting up.
There were a bunch of leaves hanging on her body, but she didn't care and immediately walked towards Pei Yan and the others.
This thing is hung by a vine that has been twisted into several strands and then tied to the tree trunk.
As the tree grew, the thing was hung higher.
And the color is close to green. If Gu Chaoxi didn’t have good eyesight, he might not have seen it.
"Try this?"
She patted the fallen leaves and some crushed fruits on her body, and waved the thing in her hand towards Qin Wei.
"Oh my god, cutie, where did you get that?"
"On the tree."
After saying that, she smiled.
Qin Wei didn't hesitate to take the palm-sized thing, pulled away the vines on it, and saw its true appearance.
An irregular circle the size of a palm, with some runes engraved on it.
The rune looks relatively symmetrical, but the lines are not that smooth. It is obvious that this thing was carved by hand.
After wiping off the dirt, Qin Wei lifted it up and looked at it towards the light.
"Tsk, the raw materials are obviously good, why is the workmanship so rough?"
After sighing, she pressed the thing in her hand into the depression on the ground.
As if because the marks matched, the things in his hands opened to both sides.
Qin Wei loosened his hand and saw the round object slightly separate from the middle to both sides, and something fell downwards.
"clatter."
Like the sound of a mechanism returning to its original position, the square cover in front of him slowly moved to one side.
Out of habit, Qin Wei raised his arms to cover his mouth and nose, his eyes fixed on the open entrance.
Seeing this, the remaining three people also raised their arms to cover their mouths and noses.
After the entire entrance became apparent and nothing strange appeared, Qin Wei put his arm down.
"Flashlight, let's go down and take a look."
Qin Wei's eyes seemed to be shining. The lid of the entrance of this thing looked very long, so there must be good stuff underneath?
Gu Chaoxi took out a flashlight from his backpack and couldn't help but ask.
"If we go down to a tomb, wouldn't that be a bit against the rules?"
"If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, who will know?" Qin Wei turned on the flashlight and waved downwards.
A long sloping slope that can probably only accommodate one person sliding down from the entrance at a time.
"Don't worry, if it's really a tomb, I will report it."
After she finished speaking, she was the first to slide down the slope.
"Okay." Shrugging, Gu Chaoxi sighed, and slid down as well.
Shen Yao looked up and saw Pei Yan nodded, then he went downstairs.
Pei Yan looked around and made sure that there was no one around before he slowly walked down the slope. He reached out and grabbed the round object in his hand before he actually slid down.
Soon after he entered, without the round key, the entrance slowly closed.
By the time Pei Yan stood firm, the flashlights of the three people had already illuminated their current location clearly.
"Not even an antrum."
As Qin Wei spoke, she shone the flashlight towards the walls again.
It's obvious that this place was not built with great care. Looking upwards, you can even see some plant roots sticking out.
The walls were also rough and not smooth at all.
"We have to find the real gate of this place."
She frowned, but suddenly heard Gu Chaoxi say, "Bronze door?"
"almost."
Seeing Qin Wei nod, Gu Chaoxi touched his nose. No, was she kidding? Was it really a bronze door?
It was a bit damp and quiet underground, so Gu Chaoxi didn't say anything else.
From where they came down, in this small space, there was only one road leading to the distance.
They walked towards the direction of what looked like a door, and when they reached the edge, they could see it clearly.
The road in front of me is not a road, but rather it feels like falling into a well.
Qin Wei shone the flashlight downwards and pursed her lips: "About ten meters."
This distance, considering the exceptionally sturdy tree, seems reasonable.
"Just get off along the side."
As she spoke, she put the flashlight on her collar, then supported herself with her hands on the stone walls on both sides and pushed her feet to the left and right.
"Okay, today is all physical work."
Gu Chaoxi smiled helplessly and followed Qin Wei's example and went downstairs.
The air underground was not thin, and the few people did not feel any difficulty in breathing.
Finally landing, Qin Wei breathed a sigh of relief and made room for the people coming down from above.
I shone the flashlight forward and saw a particularly large stone door.
The stone gate appears to be open on both sides, and is engraved with images of the four great mythical beasts and some scriptures.
Qin Wei walked slowly forward, carefully looking at the stone gate in front of him.
There was a layer of dust on it, and it was actually difficult to make out the scriptures clearly.
Gu Chaoxi glanced around and his eyes finally fell on the stone gate.
"This door, should we go in and see what it is?"
To be honest, Gu Chaoxi now feels that they may not be ready.
Wouldn’t that be terrible if there was something inside this stone gate that they couldn’t solve at this stage?
However, Qin Wei seemed to have guessed it and raised his hand to touch the stone door.
"You have to believe that the percentage of people who know about the other world is not that large."
Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary people, this location is an undeveloped tomb.
