Tomb Raiders View Shan Taibao

Chapter 14 Discovery
Hearing what Partridge Whistle said, Chen Yulou immediately recalled, Dang even realized something important, and thought to himself...

Seeing Chen Yulou's reaction, Partridge Whistle had already seen what he was thinking, so he stopped deviating and made his own guess:

"Brother Chen's guess is right. I once heard that Guanshan Taibao's method of robbing the tomb is very secretive. Now I can spy a little bit here. It is actually driving the paper dolls to rob the tomb. It is really hard to imagine how it was done."

Honggu, Hualing and the others at the side heard Partridge Whistle's explanation, and suddenly felt that they had subverted their previous cognition of tomb robbery, and they were very surprised for a while.

"Listen to my brother, after such an explanation, I remembered that there is another puppet art in Jianghu that is similar to the corpse control art. It is said that it can control paper people and paper dogs to sneak into the cracks in the door wall and steal."

"However, its control principle is not to attach the soul to the paper, but to drive a large number of insects and ants to cling to the paper figurines as robbers. Of course, I don't know the specific situation."

Speaking of Guanshan Taibao, Partridge Whistle suddenly remembered that there was another important person, so he asked:

"Brother Chen, why bother me to guess here, why don't you ask Taoist Feng, after all, he is the post-Guanshan Taibao, so he should know the details."

Unexpectedly, Chen Yulou sighed after hearing this.

"I'm afraid there is no chance, because the Taoist priest had already left when he was in the side hall."

Partridge Whistle was taken aback, originally he didn't see Feng Sijiu, he just thought he was outside and didn't enter the tomb, unexpectedly he left long ago.

But thinking about it is right, after all, Taoist Feng's purpose of coming to Pingshan is to collect the bones of the former Guanshan Taibao, since the matter has been completed, why wait for Xiling people?

All of a sudden, the audience was speechless, and at this moment, Miss Hong asked suspiciously:

"No, the shopkeeper."

Seeing Honggu's question, Chen Yulou was a little surprised and wanted to hear what she had to say:
"What's the matter, Honggu?"

"The shopkeeper said that Taoist Feng had already left when he was in the side hall. I don't know when did he leave?"

Hong Gu has always been careful and cautious in doing things. Hearing her question, Chen Yulou felt that there must be something wrong, so he told the whole thing.

After hearing Chen Yulou's words, Miss Hong frowned and said in puzzlement:
"Since that's the case, it means that before the shopkeeper returned to the top of the mountain, the Taoist disappeared in the side hall."

"But I took my brothers all the way to the top of the shopkeeper, and I didn't see a single person climbing up from the deep stream. If so, how did that person leave?"

Hearing what Hong Gu said, Hua Maguai next to him looked at Chen Yulou nervously and asked tentatively:

"Keep your head, Taoist priest won't be eaten by poisonous insects, right?"

Earlier, Chen Yulou thought it was a bit strange that the Taoist disappeared inexplicably, but at that time he was busy meeting with the Partridge Whistle, so he didn't have time to think about it.

Now hearing what Hong Gu said, there might be something strange about it, there is clearly something they don't know about!
"My dear brother, do you think what that Taoist Feng said is true or false?"

Hearing Chen Yulou's question, recalling how he met Feng Sijiu at the beginning, then Lao Xiongling's exorcising demons, and finally stealing Pingshan with Chen Yulou, and his identity as the Taibao of the Great Ming Guanshan, Partridge Whistle slowly said Four words: half-truths, half-false!

"It is impossible for a person to disappear out of thin air, there must be something strange in the temple."

Chen Yulou also agrees with this point of view. Now that the tomb where the coffin is buried has not been found, and the Guanshan Taibao Feng Sijiu suddenly disappeared without a trace, there must be something tricky in it!
At the moment, Chen Yulou recruited a group of thieves, and returned to the side hall under the deep stream from the tunnel behind the door. Now that he had a clear goal, he had to dig deep and find some clues.

It's a pity that the thieves beat the bricks and stone walls on the ground and searched for a long time, but they didn't get any results, as if the four-nine letter really disappeared from the side hall out of thin air.

Partridge Whistle didn't even believe in ghosts, so how could he believe that a living person disappeared out of thin air? Seeing that there was nothing to gain in the hall, he walked out of the side hall.

When he came to the rockery corridor at the back of the hall, he discovered a blind spot that no one had noticed, that was the big cliff in front.

Now he asked the old foreigner to hold the lamp, came to the edge of the cliff and looked down, it was deep and unknown, but when he raised his head, he was taken aback.

Because he saw that there were clear traces of something scratching on the side of the stone trough on the roof of the cave, he hurriedly called Chen Yulou over to have a look.

"Isn't this the trace on the hook of the centipede hanging on the mountain ladder? How did it get up there?"

When Chen Yulou said this, he subconsciously looked at Partridge Whistle, and there was no need to say anything, they had already found the answer.

On the edge of the cliff, Chen Yulou took Hua Maguai, and Partridge Whistle took the old foreigner. At this time, the four of them hung up the centipede hanging ladder, and followed the rock wall that Feng Sijiu had walked on before.

Looking at the neatly arranged stone troughs in front of him, Chen Yulou couldn't help but sighed secretly while climbing:

"The ancient mausoleums were all built in the ground. Even the mountain mausoleums that cut out the mountain for the coffin and pierced the stone for the hiding place, the tomb chambers are at most deep in the mountainside."

"But the pattern of this Pingshan ancient tomb is completely opposite to that of the ancient tombs in the world. The tomb is built on the top of the mountain, and the bottom of the mountain is full of empty tombs."

"That Feng Sijiu deserves to be the Taibao of Guanshan. His eyesight is so good that he saw through this Yuanren's tricks at a glance. Now he may have been the first to catch it."

Seeing that the always arrogant boss turned his head and said something powerful about others, Hua Maguai hurriedly apologized and said:
"It's all my fault, if I haven't left the side hall."

"It's no wonder you, it can only be said that we all saw it wrong."

While talking, they saw a round stone temple not far ahead, and they accelerated the speed of changing the hanging ladder.

Feng Sijiu didn't know how many tomb bricks he had thrown, anyway, the ones that collapsed would almost be thrown away by him, if the iron tiger cart didn't move anymore.

Guessing that he had to pry the tomb bricks by himself, just as he threw out the tomb bricks in his hand, he was about to pick up new ones.

Hearing a strange bang in front of him suddenly, Feng Sijiu's heart skipped a beat. It should be that the machine expansion that buckled the iron tiger car was activated. He didn't care about the tomb bricks at the moment, so he turned around and ran back, and then quickly drilled Into the crevice in the broken wall.

At the same time, there was a loud noise of iron wheels rolling in the tomb passage, Feng Sijiu leaned against the stone wall, and could feel the trembling of Pingshan.

"This Yuan man is vicious enough. If someone is really trapped in this tomb passage, he will either choose to starve to death or be hit by a car."

As soon as Feng Sijiu finished speaking, through the lights of the horses under his feet, he saw a ferocious iron cart rushing through the tomb passage in front of him.

A lot of tomb bricks collapsed in the tomb passage, but they didn't stop the heavy iron cart at all. With a bang sound, the iron cart had already pushed the tomb bricks down.

Feng Sijiu could even feel a cold wind blowing over his cheeks, which hurt a little.

The four of Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle swung to the stone hall on the other side, and found that the stone gate was just half open, and there was still orange bright yellow coming from there.

It seemed that someone had gone in there before, but as for who it was, needless to say, the old foreigner and Hua Maguai couldn't help but clenched their guns tightly.

Cautiously entered the stone gate, only to find that the tomb was empty except for the lit oil lamp.

The four of them didn't spend much time inside, and they saw the tomb passage behind the tomb. Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle looked at each other, thinking that the real main tomb should be inside, and without hesitation, they put on the lantern and walked in. .

But after walking for a long time, a tightly-fitting stone wall suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking the way. Partridge Whistle knocked it with the butt of his gun, and it was estimated that it was at least nearly one meter thick.

"This should be the Qianjin gate. Could it be that the seal of [-] was trapped inside?"

As soon as Chen Yulou spoke, he felt a tremor under his feet. Although the huge boulder was thick, its sound insulation effect was not very good.

Because both Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle could hear the sound of iron sliding on the stone wall coming from the thousand-jin gate in front of them.

Although they didn't know what happened inside at this moment, Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle both reacted and shouted in unison: "Back!"
