Tomb Raiders I Can Hear Antique Talk

Chapter 219 There are ghosts!

As the stone door moved back inch by inch, there was a "clicking" sound of gears synchronously with the sound of stone friction, as if the stone door was a key that was being inserted into the keyhole bit by bit.

In the end, Xiao Ran pushed the stone gate into the stone wall to a depth of about half a meter. With a "click", the stone gate was completely embedded in the stone wall, and could not be pushed any further.

The roar sounded again, and Xiao Ran's heart sank. He thought that he probably made a wrong operation again this time, so he rushed out of the iron gate with all his strength without hesitation, and his speed almost broke the record of [-] meters.

Liu Shengli and Xu Er carefully shrank behind Xiao Ran, looking vigilantly in front of the iron gate, for fear that a new mechanism would be triggered.But this time there was no continuous crossbow or steel needle, and the sound of the machine wheel turning could be heard on the ground in the middle of the cave.

The big stone slab engraved with the figure of six-handed and four-legged human figure sank slowly amidst a roar, following the horizontal lines on the stone slab, it sank into a staircase of four or five steps.The broken soil that was originally on the stone slab and around it fell down one after another, and the dust raised up obscured the scene at the end of the steps.

The three of them suddenly realized that the "Shimen" on the stone wall was the key to the real passage, or the stone button.It seems that after the yin and yang fish in Qisu in the South fell, if the stone button carved with dragons and painted phoenixes was not pushed in in time to activate the steps in the center of the cave, it would activate the surrounding killing mechanisms at the same time as it returned to its position.

Sure enough, it is the consistent style of Tianling Sanren. If the mechanism for opening the door is not operated properly, it will become a mechanism for killing people.

Billows of dust rolled out of the door, and the three quickly hid behind the door.The sound of the mechanism inside the door has stopped, and there are no other abnormal noises. As long as you wait patiently for the dust to dissipate, you can go in and find out.

"Manager, do you think this is the exit? I really have spent enough time in this dark place." Liu Shengli said.

Xu Er also hurriedly said: "That's right, it's so hard to live in the dark heart, it feels like being buried alive."

Xiao Ran looked at the two of them, sighed lightly and said, "No matter what is behind, I will definitely take you out. Just take care to protect yourself, I can only take the living out."

The two of them were silent when they heard what Xiao Ran said, and the surrounding area was so quiet that they could hear their voices swallowing because of nervousness.

After a while, when there was no more dust floating out of the iron gate, Xiao Ran took Liu Shengli and Xu Er back into the cave, and shone a flashlight down the steps of the organ.

Under the steps formed by the stone slabs, there is also a section of stairs repaired with natural stones, about twenty or thirty steps all the way down.At the end of the stone steps, there are two arched stone gates.

Xiao Ran recognized it at a glance, it was a tomb door.Although the other two were still terrified, he finally felt a little excited.After going down to such a deep underground palace and going through so many unimaginable things, I finally have to seriously pour Dou'er once.

Xiao Ran looked at the two of them, and said solemnly: "Look at the bottom, if I guess correctly, this is the real tomb. I don't know what kind of traps the old pole of Tianling Sanren has set up, and I don't know what kind of traps are there below. Is there a way to escape? If you dare not go down, just wait for me above."

Liu Shengli rubbed his hands and said, "Manager, I've followed all this way, and I feel that I've improved a lot, so I can help you a bit. I always listen to those stories told by the second uncle, and I always wanted to see them with my own eyes. Now I can be regarded as seeing the old man. Tomb, you have to take me with you."

Xu Er also said: "Xiao Gang, in fact, I have been thinking about it for a long time. If you hadn't taken care of me this way, I would have missed my mother and brother. You all go down, and I will go down. The worst thing is to listen For Xiao Gang, if you find danger, run away first, so as not to cause trouble to you."

It was beyond Xiao Ran's expectation that the two suddenly decided to go to the grave so firmly.This tomb was buried so deep, and it was connected to the main hall where the scattered people of Tianling committed crimes. He couldn't be sure if this tomb had been robbed, and there was a hole for them to get out.Even who is buried below has to be questioned.In case it was a red-haired corpse similar to General Yerengou's tomb, he alone would not be able to care about the two of them.

But after thinking about it, since there were so many traps before, the two people in front of them were able to save themselves from danger with luck, and even helped him a lot, so they can't always be regarded as a burden.Perhaps as Liu Shengli said, the two of them have really grown up.

"Okay, since you both have made up your mind, I won't say much. Just a little bit, follow the instructions in all actions, and don't touch things that shouldn't be touched."

Seeing that Xiao Ran agreed, the two nodded quickly, their faces full of ambition.

Xiao Ran asked the two of them to put themselves in the best condition, tie their clothes tightly and tie their shoelaces, at least not to lose the chains when they run away.Xu Er saw that the ground was full of broken crossbow arrows, and those slightly rusty arrows were good slingshots for him, so he searched a lot on the ground.

The three of them went down the steps step by step. With previous experience, everyone was more vigilant, and they would carefully observe each step, lest they fall into the way of the Sanren of Tianling again.

After safely walking all the way to the entrance of the tomb, the three breathed a sigh of relief.Xiao Ran raised his hand and pointed at the door of the tomb. There was a thick layer of soil on it, so he patted it casually, and as a result, large pieces of broken mud fell from the door.

After the fall, Liu Shengli and Xu Er behind were stunned in place, and then yelled out in fright: "There is a ghost!"

The two stumbled and ran up the stairs while shouting, Xiao Ran didn't have time to see what it was, but was infected by their screams, and also ran up.

Could it be that these two people also have some special talents, can see things that he can't see?Or when he was not around, did these two guys steal some pill left by the Sanren of Tianling and accidentally open their eyes?
After all, he sailed carefully, so he followed the two of them up the steps, and then hurriedly asked Yin Yang Jing, "Master Dao, what's in this tomb?"

"Good man, I don't feel it..."

Xiao Ran looked at the two people sitting on the ground trembling, and asked, "What the hell have you two seen?"

Liu Shengli pointed to the tomb door below and said, "There is a white-faced female ghost lying on the door and smiling at us..."

Xu Er also nodded quickly, saying that he saw it too.

When Xiao Ran was told by them, he felt a little panicked, and the hairs on his back stood on end, more like a white-faced female ghost lying on his back.

But since Yin-Yang Jing said that he didn't feel anything, then the so-called white-faced female ghost is probably nonsense.He turned around and shone the flashlight at the door of the tomb. He was startled, picked up a crossbow bolt from the ground with his two hair mound fingers, and shot it towards the door of the tomb.

It's a pity that the crossbow arrow had no arrowhead, only a wooden pole hit the target with a "snap", and bounced to the ground again.

The reason why Xiao Ran was so nervous was because between the door of the tomb, there was indeed a woman in red with white face leaning out from the crack of the door, smiling at the three people on the steps, waiting for the lively scene in front of her. People deliver it to their door.
