Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 612: In the cemetery! Trap!

I saw that it was a very spacious passage, large enough for two people to walk at the same time, but it was still pitch black ahead and I couldn't see clearly in the distance.

Zhang Meng was about to walk inside.

"Wait a moment."

But Fatty Zhang stopped Zhang Meng.

Fatty Zhang took out a piece of wood that seemed to be soaked in kerosene from his bag. He lit it and threw it hard behind the door.

As the wood was thrown, the steps in the distance came into everyone's sight.

Soon after entering the stone gate, there was a staircase leading downwards, but they couldn't see clearly how deep the staircase was.

The wood had fallen onto a step and could only illuminate so far.

Fatty Zhang waited for a while before saying, "It looks like there's plenty of ventilation inside. You can go in, don't worry."

Qin Wenyuan nodded slightly.

He knew what Fatty Zhang was doing.

Just like the cellars of some farmers, in winter, farmers in the cold northern areas like to dig a deep cellar outside to store vegetables.

And every time they opened the cellar to take out vegetables, they would first pass a candle inside to see if the candle would go out.

The purpose is to prevent suffocation due to lack of oxygen inside.

What Fatty Zhang just did was also a way to determine whether there was enough oxygen in the tomb.

It’s just that Fatty Zhang relied on the experience given by his predecessors, and he himself didn’t know the principle behind this.

Qin Wenyuan said: "Xiaohua, you stay outside and don't go in."

Wang Xiaohua was startled and shook her head: "Master Qin, I want to go in with you too."

Qin Wenyuan said: "Don't worry."

"I left you outside for a reason."

"First of all, after we go in, we need someone to restore the outside to its original state. Most importantly, we need to put the loose soil back to its original place so that the people from the Beidou Society will not find out that someone went in before them..."

"So, someone has to stay outside."

"Secondly, among all of us, you are the best at hiding yourself."

"You have the best Qinggong skills and the best hiding skills, so it is safest for you to stay outside and you will be least likely to be discovered by Beidou."

"If we encounter any danger inside and need support from outside, you can help us in the first place, and we won't be left without any help outside."

Wang Xiaohua listened to Qin Wenyuan's words. She knew that what Qin Yuan said made sense, but she was still reluctant to stay.

Because she knew that what was inside was now completely unknown and might be even more dangerous.

She wanted to go in and protect Qin Wenyuan.

But she would not reject anything Qin Wenyuan said because she didn't want to disappoint Qin Wenyuan.

She pursed her lips and immediately looked at Zhang Meng and the others: "You must protect Lord Qin. If Lord Qin loses even a hair, I will never forgive you!"

Zhang Meng laughed and said, "Don't worry, if anyone dares to touch Lord Qin, I will fight him to the death!"

Qin Dao said calmly: "Unless I die."

Hua Zhanchao also said: "Don't worry, we will be no less careful with Master Qin than you are."

Wang Xiaohua knew what they meant.

She looked at Qin Wenyuan and said, "Master Qin..."

Qin Wenyuan smiled and said, "It's also very dangerous for you outside, you have to take care of yourself. I hope you can welcome me safely when I come out."

Wang Xiaohua sniffed, then nodded heavily: "I will!"

Qin Wenyuan didn't waste any more time and led his men directly into the imperial mausoleum.

Wang Xiaohua stayed outside, and after Qin Wenyuan and the others left, she quickly closed the stone door and also quickly filled in the soil dug up by Fatty Zhang.

Finally, sprinkle the top layer of loose soil again.

After a careful check and making sure there was no problem, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

And just at this moment, a sound of footsteps suddenly came.

Wang Xiaohua's eyes flashed.

She knew that it must be someone from the Beidou Society who had come.

Wang Xiaohua quickly picked up her tools and left without any hesitation.

She has excellent martial arts skills. When she was a thief in the past, she relied on her powerful martial arts skills to easily escape from danger.

And Qinggong is also her greatest guarantee.

So she practiced martial arts hard, and now she was as light as a swallow.

Soon we were far away from the entrance of the imperial mausoleum.

Then he hid in a lush tree.

Not long after Wang Xiaohua hid, some people dressed as hunters came over.

Afterwards, Wang Xiaohua saw the stern one-eyed Yin Yuan and the enchanting Yu Heng, who had an unclear relationship with Lord Qin.

When seeing Yuheng, Wang Xiaohua took a special look at Yuheng.

Then he muttered in his heart: "She is not much better-looking or prettier than me."

It was obvious that Wang Xiaohua still felt a little jealous about Yuheng and Qin Wenyuan being alone for so long.

However, Wang Xiaohua knew very well what she should do, and she quickly suppressed these chaotic emotions.

Then he carefully stared at the people from Beidou Society.

She always kept Qin Wenyuan's instructions in mind.

Hide well and protect yourself.

Then, if Lord Qin needs it, we will work together with Lord Qin from inside and outside!

Other than that, don't do anything irrelevant!

Just like this, Wang Xiaohua lay on the tree trunk like a sloth, staring at the people from Beidou Society motionlessly.

…………

Yin Yuan looked around and said, "Yu Heng, are you sure about this place?"

Yuheng had already memorized the destination that Qin Wenyuan told her.

She nodded slightly and said, "Not bad."

"I've looked at the Feng Shui nearby, and the Feng Shui here is better than anywhere else."

"If this emperor really knows what he is doing, he will definitely choose this place and will not consider any other place!"

Yin Yuan's one eye looked around the place carefully.

But soon, he looked away.

He doesn't know much about Feng Shui.

I can't see anything at all.

He said directly: "Search!"

"We don't have much time left, don't be afraid of leaving traces, don't worry about anything!"

"Yes!"

The people from Beidou Society began to search.

Yuheng looked around, and others thought that Yuheng was also looking for the entrance.

But in fact, Yuheng just wanted to know that Qin Wenyuan had found the entrance and went in.

Or he was hiding not far away, waiting for them to explore the way.

Yuheng looked around but found no trace of Qin Wenyuan and others.

He knew Qin Wenyuan's abilities. Even if Qin Wenyuan didn't go in, he would definitely not be discovered by them.

Therefore, Yuheng had no idea what Qin Wenyuan was doing now.

Now she could only pray in her heart that Qin Wenyuan was safe.

…………

And behind the stone gate.

Qin Wenyuan and his companions had already started walking down the stairs.

The passage is very spacious and the steps are also very wide.

This way everyone doesn't feel oppressed at all.

Fatty Zhang led the way and couldn't help but say, "The road to the Imperial Mausoleum is quite wide!"

"It seems that this emperor not only has strict requirements for the location of his tomb, but also has strict requirements for the road." "I just don't know which dynasty the emperor is so generous."

Hua Zhanchao asked, "Is the path we take different from the other tombs?"

Fatty Zhang shook his head and said, "Of course it's different!"

"A mausoleum is a mausoleum after all, not a house."

"To dig such a wide passage, it would take a lot of manpower and resources."

"Even if our descendants are filial, this is too lenient."

"If I didn't know we were going to a mausoleum, I would have wondered whose corridor we were walking in."

"So the owner of this tomb may seem a little unusual."

After Fatty Zhang said this, everyone couldn't help but become curious.

They know Fatty Zhang's abilities.

Even Fatty Zhang said so, which means that this imperial tomb might really give them some surprises.

Now, even Qin Wenyuan was curious about who this imperial tomb belonged to.

Also, why did his mother hide the things given to him in such a tomb!

Everyone continued walking down the stairs.

Qin Wenyuan was calculating the distance in his mind as he walked.

They found the entrance halfway up Cuihua Mountain.

In other words, they are now walking down the mountain.

I just don't know how long it will take to walk down to reach the tomb.

Fatty Zhang was walking in the front holding a torch. As he walked, he said, "Everyone, slow down. Don't be in a hurry."

"Some imperial tombs are relatively safe, but some imperial tombs have many traps set up to prevent tomb theft."

"Although we haven't reached the real mausoleum yet, we still have to be careful to prevent any accidents."

Naturally, no one would have any objection.

Fatty Zhang's small eyes kept observing the passage.

He was cautious, but not too cautious.

At this moment, Fatty Zhang suddenly stopped.

“Something’s not right,” he said.

Everyone paused.

Qin Wenyuan asked: "What's wrong?"

Fatty Zhang pointed to the front and said, "There are water stains on the steps ahead, but there are no water stains here or on the steps below."

Everyone saw it and found that it was just as Fatty Zhang said.

Hua Zhanchao asked, "What does this mean?"

Fatty Zhang said, "If nothing unexpected happens, there should be a trap ahead."

"The mechanism caused cracks to appear in the stones, so the water in other places could flow away, but here the spring water in the mountain seeped in, leaving water stains on the ground."

Qin Wenyuan couldn't help but nodded slightly.

It is said that there are specialties in the art industry.

Although he just noticed that something was wrong.

But he didn't know the principle at first.

However, Fatty Zhang immediately realized the existence of the mechanism. This was Fatty Zhang's expertise.

And this is also the reason why Qin Wenyuan brought them back from Nanzhao.

Everyone like Fatty Zhang is a leader in their respective fields.

As long as they are placed in a place where they can exert their strength, they can definitely do things that others cannot do.

This is exactly what Fatty Zhang is like now.

Qin Wenyuan looked at Fatty Zhang and asked, "How do we deal with this mechanism?"

Fatty Zhang said, "Generally, the mechanisms in mausoleums are triggered by weight. In other words, there is a high possibility that there is nothing underneath the steps ahead. As long as we step on them, the steps will sink a little, and then the mechanism will be triggered."

"So if you want to get through, you either have to step on the mechanism in advance and trigger it."

"Or don't even bother with the steps and just fly over them."

Hua Zhanchao looked ahead and said, "The distance ahead is not close. If Xiaohua were here, she could pass through with her Qinggong skills, but for us... it's difficult."

Qin Wenyuan made a prompt decision and said, "Trigger the mechanism and let the danger pass."

Although this might allow the Beidou Society to discover their whereabouts, Qin Wenyuan knew that it would be even more troublesome if they were trapped here.

So Qin Wenyuan made a prompt decision.

Fatty Zhang naturally would not have any objection.

He quickly took out a very heavy stone from the backpack behind him.

Hua Zhanchao looked at the stone and said, "Now I know why you carried a big stone on your back before coming in."

"I admire it, I really admire it!"

Fatty Zhang smiled and said, "The graves I dug are no less than those of the women you deceived, so I already have experience."

Hua Zhanchao said: "How can that be called cheating? I can only say that at that moment, we were in love with each other."

Fatty Zhang rolled his eyes and didn't bother to pay any attention to this flower thief.

He said, "Everyone step back."

Everyone quickly took three steps back.

Then Fatty Zhang threw the stone in his hand forward.

Then there was a loud bang.

The stone fell heavily on the steps.

There was a loud noise.

At the same time, the stairs sank a little.

Everything happened just as Fatty Zhang said.

Everyone looked ahead nervously.

Then... one second, two seconds...

A full ten seconds passed.

Nothing happened.

Not to mention dangerous.

Hua Zhanchao asked in confusion: "Why is this mechanism not responding?"

They all clearly saw that the steps had sunk, which proved that Fatty Zhang was right.

But the mechanism doesn't seem to be activated.

Fatty Zhang thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's been too long and there's something wrong with the mechanism. I've often encountered this in my career as a tomb robber."

"Let's go, it should be fine."

Having said that, Fatty Zhang led everyone to continue moving forward.

Qin Wenyuan, on the other hand, looked at the mechanism thoughtfully.

The next moment, he laughed.

He discovered that these mechanisms had been sabotaged.

There is no doubt that the person who destroyed this mechanism was his own mother.

After all, my mother asked me to come here to get something, so how could she let me face danger?
Qin Wenyuan, Fatty Zhang and others walked through the mechanism area easily and continued to walk down.

Fatty Zhang squatted down, picked up the stones on the ground and put them back into his bag.

He smiled and said, "This big stone must not fall. In this mausoleum, danger may occur at any time, and there may be traps at any time. Sometimes, just this big stone can save a life."

Qin Wenyuan knew that he didn't have to worry about the mechanisms during the rest of his trip to the mausoleum.

He believed that his mother would never put him in danger.

But he didn't say it out loud.

Fatty Zhang has never had much of a presence in this team.

I always feel like I can't compare to others.

After all, he has always lived underground and has always dealt with the dead.
