As Chen Ze walked, he looked around the environment. The cave was neither very spacious nor narrow.

The passage is about seven or eight meters long, with moss-covered walls on both sides and many spider webs hanging on the walls.

There was a layer of dust in the cave.

Chen Ze pulled down a branch and drew on the ground. Chen Ze found that this should be the place that the old man of the Chen family mentioned.

"Dad, how long have our parents been dead?" Chen Yating suddenly asked.

"This...it has been about 20 to 30 years!" Chen Jianguo was not too sure. He only remembered that his wife had been dead for many years. As for what happened 20 years ago, he could not remember it.

Chen Wenjin: "I haven't seen your parents for almost 30 years, and I don't remember them very well."

Chen Wenjin was also filled with emotion. This was the place where she and her husband had once fallen in love, but now it had become like this.

Along the way, the three members of the Chen family chatted about various topics, which allowed Chen Wenjin to regain his childhood memories and no longer be as frightened as when he first came in.

Chen Ze walked and walked until he reached the end.

Chen Ze stretched out his hand and tried to touch what was at the end of the cave, but found that the cave had no end.

"Did we take the wrong road?" Chen Ze turned around and asked the three members of the Chen family.

Chen Yating shook her head. "That's right. I'm very familiar with the terrain here."

Chen Wenjin also said: "No way, I have been here several times."

"Try to see if there are any other forks in the other passages. This cave is straight and has no forks."

The three members of the Chen family walked a distance tentatively, but still did not find any other passages.

"The road here seems to be artificially repaired. The rocks and soil here are lighter in color. This should be newly filled in." Chen Wenjin looked for a while and came to a conclusion.

"From this point of view, this place must have been blown down." Chen Jianguo said. "No matter who blew it down, since there is a passage, it proves that there is a mechanism here." Chen Ze said.

"Brother Chen, do you understand the mechanism?" Chen Jianguo asked.

"I know a little bit." Chen Ze said modestly.

"Then can you destroy the mechanism and rescue my wife?" Chen Jianguo asked anxiously.

"This... shouldn't be difficult!" Chen Ze said as he began to explore around.

The rocks here are very smooth and it is not easy to build a mechanism, so Chen Ze only needs to remove the rocks.

Chen Ze looked around and found nothing unusual, so he prepared to use violence.

"Wait!" Chen Wenjin stopped Chen Ze.

"What's the matter?" Chen Ze stopped what he was doing.

Chen Wenjin pointed to the other end of the cave. Chen Ze looked over and found a protruding part of the stone with a groove there.

Chen Ze came over, bent down and moved the stone aside.

"Crack!"

As Chen Ze moved the stone, he heard the sound of stones colliding.

Then a loud bang was heard.

Chen Ze's eyes suddenly opened up, and what came into view was a huge space with many sarcophagi in it.

Chen Ze took a quick glance and found six sarcophagi.

"Damn, your Chen family is so rich, with so many sarcophagi!" Chen Ze exclaimed.

Chen Ze's voice caught Chen Wenjin's attention.

Chen Wenjin also came over and discovered the six sarcophagi that Chen Ze mentioned.

"How do you know there are six coffins?" Chen Wenjin asked.

"Intuition!" Chen Ze replied.

"Tsk, I don't believe you." Chen Wenjin rolled her eyes, obviously not believing Chen Ze's nonsense. Chen Ze was just lying to children.

"I think this should be the place." Chen Jianguo also came to Chen Ze's side.

"Yes, that's it. I think it's here too." Chen Ze nodded. "Detective Chen, are those bodies in the sarcophagus over there?" Chen Yating asked, pointing to a row of sarcophagi on the right.

Chen Ze shook his head: "It's just a pile of dry bones!"

Chen Yating was extremely disappointed.

"Hey, where are my parents? There are only five coffins left here. My parents must not be dead yet. I have to go find them!"

"Wait, little girl!" Chen Ze grabbed Chen Yating.

"What's wrong?" Chen Yating asked puzzledly.

"There may be unknown dangers behind that stone door. If you rush in rashly, you may not be able to get out!" Chen Ze reminded.

"What should we do? We can't just wait like this!" Chen Yating was unwilling.

"It's not that we can't wait, but we have to prepare for the worst." Chen Ze was not worried about this. After all, this cave has existed for so many years and has not been affected by the feng shui issues.

"Young man, do you mean that my son-in-law and others are in there?" Chen Jianguo heard the hidden meaning in Chen Ze's words.

"I'm not sure, but based on what we have seen so far, it is very likely to be the case," said Chen Ze.

After Chen Ze finished speaking, he continued to look for an exit in the cave, but after searching for a while, Chen Ze still did not find the passage.

Chen Ze couldn't help but wonder, it was impossible for this cave to have no clues left, otherwise it wouldn't be so flat, as if someone had dug here.

Chen Ze squatted down, picked up a stone and threw it at a sarcophagus in front of him.

boom!
The stone thrown by Chen Ze hit the sarcophagus, but it did not break.

"Hiss~ So hard?" Chen Ze asked in surprise.

"Let me throw one and see if I can break it." Chen Ze picked up a stone from the ground.

Chen Wenjin, Chen Jianguo and Chen Yating stepped back a little to make room for Chen Ze.

Chen Ze aimed at the sarcophagus and threw it forward with all his strength.

"Snapped!"

The stone hit the coffin lid, making a crisp sound, but the sarcophagus was not damaged at all.

"Fuck! This is an alloy coffin!" Chen Ze couldn't help but complain.

"This is unscientific!" Chen Ze frowned.

"Chen Ze, let me help you!" Chen Yating took out a dagger and prepared to attack the alloy coffin.

"No! Don't do that! This alloy coffin is made of iron and is extremely sharp. What if you hurt yourself?" Chen Ze hurriedly stopped Chen Yating.

Chen Yating was stunned. She didn’t know that this sarcophagus was made of iron, and she didn’t know that this thing could be so powerful.

"Then...what should we do? Are we just going to wait here?" Chen Yating was unwilling to give up, as her loved one was just lying there.

"Of course not. Let me open the coffin!" Chen Ze decided to try it himself.

Chen Zexian took out a knife and knocked on the coffin lid, but there was no response.

Then he hit it hard again.

dong dong dong~
Chen Ze felt a dull vibration.

"There is a mechanism here. If I'm not mistaken, these iron tools should be the ones that trigger the mechanism." Chen Ze said.

"Could my parents' bodies be at the bottom of this mechanism?" Chen Yating said excitedly.

Chen Ze shook his head, "I'm not sure, let's take it down and see!"

"I'll do it!" Chen Jianguo volunteered.

"No! This thing is too sturdy. There's no need for us to take the risk. If the mechanism is poisonous or something, we will all be in trouble." Chen Ze rejected Chen Jianguo's request.

"What should we do? There is no way we can take away so many iron artifacts. I think my parents must be hiding in here." Chen Yating cried anxiously.

"Don't worry, I have a way!" Chen Ze said, patting his chest.

Chen Ze's tone was very relaxed, as if he was not under any pressure at all, which made everyone look up to him. (End of this chapter)
