Chapter 184 Entering the Tomb (Subscription Request)

The rains in June and July in summer are heavy and long.

The raindrops hit the car window and the grass and trees on Dabao Mountain, creating thick steam and blurring the scenery in front of Lin Chuan.

The mountains were high and the road was long. It took Lin Chuan and Shen Qianqian two and a half hours to reach their destination.

At this time.

Archaeological Teams 8 and 9, the rescue teams that have arrived, have built a temporary shelter.

Several ambulances are ready at all times.

However, there is still no trace of Zhong Xunfeng, Zhao Shan and others.

There was a sense of depression and heaviness among the crowd.

"Lin Chuan is here."

Qin Sisi was standing in front of the shelter. When she saw Lin Chuan and Shen Qianqian appear, she immediately shouted.

Old Yao was still analyzing the mechanisms of this ancient tomb of the Nanyue royal family. When he heard "Lin Chuan is here", he suddenly stood up and walked out of the shelter.

The rest of the archaeological team had all heard of Lin Chuan to some extent because of the Qixing Lu Palace.

Therefore, they all turned their heads and looked outside.

At this time, Qin Sisi was already holding an umbrella and walking forward to greet Lin Chuan.

Lao Yao followed closely behind.

"Lin Chuan, you're finally here." As soon as Qin Sisi saw him, the depressed feeling in her heart seemed to be relieved a lot.

"You're treating me to lunch, so why can't I come?"

Lin Chuan looked at Qin Sisi, who looked a little nervous, and eased the atmosphere.

Qin Sisi smiled faintly: "Let me introduce you, this is the captain of our archaeological team, Lao Yao."

Old Yao held up an umbrella while he stretched out his hand to shake Lin Chuan's. "Mr. Lin, I've heard a lot about you. I'm Old Yao, the captain of the ninth archaeological team."

"Hello, Captain Yao." Lin Chuan responded politely.

"The situation is critical now, so I won't waste any more time on small talk. Let's go into the shed and I'll tell you about the current situation." Old Yao said solemnly, looking a little anxious.

Lin Chuan nodded and went into the shelter.

Old Yao handed Lin Chuan a stack of information, and then introduced Lin Chuan to the relevant information about the ancient tomb of the Nanyue royal family.

After Lin Chuan looked at the information, he frowned slightly: "It's too foggy now, so I can't see the direction of the mountain, but I feel that this doesn't look like the entrance to the tomb."

"no?"

Old Yao looked a little surprised, and immediately asked the archaeologists from Team 8 to find an overview of the mountain shape during that period.

On the tablet, there was video footage of Dabao Mountain shot by the Eighth Team using a drone.

Lin Chuan did not rush to go down to the tomb, but stared at it for a long time, muttering: "This is an extremely large ancient tomb complex!"

Old Yao was puzzled and came over.

Lin Chuan pointed to an area a little bit above the middle reaches where there was a lake and said, "Based on the terrain, this is the best place to go to the tomb. It is a central hub that can lead to any ancient tomb."

"Should we go to another place to enter the tomb?" Old Yao asked Lin Chuan for his opinion.

He had already looked at Lin Chuan.

Although Lin Chuan looks young and immature, and a little delicate, there is a noble temperament between his eyebrows, and his eyes are slightly deep and bright.

Especially when looking at the location of the mountain, the different aura made Lao Yao feel there was no doubt about it.

"We are running out of time. I will take a look at the shape of the mountain, mainly to determine the layout and direction of the underground ancient tomb." Lin Chuan put away the tablet and said, "Let's get ready."

Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. The more dangerous the ancient tomb is, the less you should rush into the tomb to rescue people.

Otherwise, it is easy to get yourself involved.

"I'll go down with you."

Shen Qianqian came close to Lin Chuan and said with pursed lips.

Lin Chuan looked up at Shen Qianqian and said with a smile, "You are not an archaeologist, why are you joining in the fun?"

At this time, Qin Sisi pulled Shen Qianqian to sit down: "Qianqian, Lin Chuan and I will go down, you just wait here with peace of mind."

Shen Qianqian curled her lips, glanced at Lin Chuan and Qin Sisi, and nodded.

She originally thought that if they encountered some strange creatures, she could use her skills to help Lin Chuan share some of his worries.

However, then I thought about it.

In the ancient tomb of the Nanyue royal family, there should be no strange creatures except for the mechanisms.

"Brother Lin, put this on."

Old Yao came with a bulletproof vest, which was specially brought by the police comrades who came to the rescue, in order to guard against the mechanisms in the tomb.

For example, flying arrows.

Lin Chuan didn't hesitate and put it on directly, and also installed many necessary equipment and tools.

——High-power flashlight, archaeological shovel, gas mask, oxygen bag, dry food, water, etc.

"Be careful."

Shen Qianqian was a little worried, and added, "I and Xinxin are waiting for you to come back."

"piece of cake."

Lin Chuan smiled and gave her a reassuring look.

Then he went into the tomb which was nearly 20 meters deep, followed closely by Lao Yao and Qin Sisi.

As soon as he landed, the bottom of the tomb was wet. There was a flashlight tied to Lin Chuan's head, and in front of him was a tomb passage about one meter wide and less than two meters high.

There are some footprints on the ground.

Old Yao took two steps at a time and walked to Lin Chuan's side, leading the way for him: "Brother Lin, according to the captain of Team 8, Xunfeng and his team walked northeast from here and accidentally entered the maze."

Lin Chuan's mind showed a bird's-eye view of the ground, and he frowned: "This is the death gate, you entered through the death gate."

Lao Yao's heart tightened: "Death gate?"

Lin Chuan nodded and explained, "I looked at the terrain. The mountains here are winding and changeable. The ancient tombs of the Nanyue royal family were built underground. They should be built according to the eight trigrams. This is the southwest direction, which belongs to the Kun position in the eight trigrams, and it is the death gate."

Qin Sisi's expression also changed: "In other words, this is the most difficult and dangerous place to enter?"

"That's not entirely true. This ancient tomb is very dangerous. If you enter the tomb from the Xun position, which is the southeast direction, it will be relatively safe, but there should be a lot of traps."

Lin Chuan explained as he walked forward.

Old Yao and Qin Sisi looked at each other and were shocked.

It was very cold in the tomb passage.

Both of them got goose bumps.

Lin Chuan took the lead and walked through the narrow stone gate, and saw the walls on both sides carved with South Vietnam's characteristic totems and various runes.

There was still a perpetual lamp hanging on the tomb passage, but it had been extinguished long ago.

The entire underground was pitch black.

"Old Yao, where did you and Zhao Shan get lost last time?"

Lin Chuan turned around and asked.

Lao Yao raised his hand and pointed: "It was at the fork in the road ahead. I went left and he went right. When I was halfway there, I realized something was wrong and immediately turned back. I followed his mark, but Lao Zhao was nowhere to be seen."

Lin Chuan walked forward cautiously.

Sure enough, there was a fork in the road ahead.

turn left turn Right.

"Where are we going?" Qin Sisi frowned and asked Lin Chuan about his decision.

"Follow me and don't touch the wall easily." Lin Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly and walked to the right.

Large ancient tombs often have mazes.

The intricate passages inside are interwoven into a network with frequent dead ends, which can easily cause tomb robbers to lose their way and fall into a vicious circle.

Only with keen judgment and accurate sense of direction can you get out of the maze.

At this time, Lin Chuan saw an arrow symbol left by Zhao Shan on the wall of the tomb passage not far ahead.

Follow the arrow forward, turn 6 corners, and enter 4 dead ends.

The arrow disappeared.

In the dead end, there is no way forward.

Lao Yao swallowed his saliva and said, "I walked here last time and didn't dare to go any further."

Lin Chuan didn't say anything.

Strong light shines on both sides of the tomb passage and the stone wall in front.

The bacteria underground left strange patterns on the stone wall. Lin Chuan explored forward cautiously.

His experience as a killer enabled him to develop meticulous on-site survey skills.

Boom, boom, boom.

Lin Chuan knocked on the wall and stared at the intermittent lines on the stone wall, which seemed a little incoherent: "This stone wall can be moved."

Two other strong flashlights also shone over.

It’s bright here in the dead end.

"Is there a mechanism in here?" Qin Sisi asked puzzledly, staring at the stone wall in front of her.

Lin Chuan shook his head: "It's not empty inside. It should be a simple movable stone door. See if there are any different plates on both sides of the tomb passage or under your feet."

Qin Sisi and Lao Yao immediately began searching.

They all understand.

According to Lin Chuan's inference, since Zhao Shan's mark disappeared here, it is very likely that he accidentally touched the mechanism and passed through the stone wall.

"Lin Chuan, here."

Qin Sisi's flashlight shone on a slightly loose stone slab on the right side of the floor.

Lin Chuan came over, squatted down and inspected it carefully.

He stretched out his hand and knocked on various positions of the stone slab. Then he raised his right foot and stepped lightly on the left side of the stone slab.

Deng.

There was a subtle sound, like a bead falling into place, and the stone wall in front of them moved easily, revealing a passage.

A strong light shines past.

Sure enough, Zhao Shan’s arrow mark was seen again on the right side of the tomb passage.

Old Yao and Qin Sisi were suddenly delighted. Although they were still worried, they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

call--

Lin Chuan continued to walk forward along the arrow sign with a burning gaze.

This trip is both to explore tombs and to rescue people.

The sound of footsteps could be heard in the tomb passage.

suddenly!

"Old Yao, is that you?" A somewhat listless voice came from the corner of the tomb passage ahead.

Lao Yao's heart was pounding, and his face was a little excited: "It's me, it's me."

He quickened his pace.

At the corner was a dead end. Zhao Shan was groping the wall with a pale face. Next to him was his equipment bag. The dry food and water in it were probably enough to sustain him for two days.

But the oxygen bags probably won’t last that long.

When Zhao Shan heard Lao Yao's voice, his face immediately brightened up. His weak body regained some strength and he immediately stood up to greet Lao Yao.

"I thought I was going to die here." Zhao Shan showed a miserable smile on his face.

Lao Yao patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Fortunately, you are lucky."

"How did you get in?"

In the dim environment, Zhao Shan looked at Lao Yao, Qin Sisi and Lin Chuan.

"It was Brother Lin who brought us in, otherwise you would have really died here." Old Yao smiled.

Zhao Shan looked at Lin Chuan and thanked him repeatedly.

Lin Chuan waved his hand and asked about the situation in the maze: "Captain Zhao, have you been trapped here all this time?"

Zhao Shan nodded, still feeling frightened: "It was fine when I came in, but when I returned, I found that the passage was blocked and there was no way to open it. I could only keep going forward, wondering if there was a mechanism that could open it."

After hearing this, Lin Chuan walked forward to the corner and explored it carefully: "This is a dead end."

"Then should we turn left at the fork in the road?" Old Yao asked in a daze.

Lin Chuan did not comment, but took out a pen and paper from his bag and began to draw a partial map of the maze.

Subsequently.

He led a few people back to the fork in the road.

Zhao Shan had been trapped in the ancient tomb for four or five hours. He was exhausted and it was not suitable for him to continue exploring, so everyone let him go back first.

Lin Chuan, Lao Yao, and Qin Sisi headed to the left of the fork in the road. Surprisingly, the end of the tomb passage on the left was also a dead end.

Moreover, Zhong Xunfeng and others were not found either.

This situation made Lao Yao and Qin Sisi feel worried and nervous again.

Lin Chuan looked at the two and said comfortingly, "Since we didn't find them, it means they may have walked out of the maze and entered the ancient tomb."

"That's even more dangerous." Lao Yao sighed.

Lin Chuan was not in a hurry. He squatted down beside the tomb passage and continued to draw a topographic map of the maze on paper. Starting from the fork in the road, there were routes for both the left and right paths.

Qin Sisi tactfully kept silent so as not to disturb Lin Chuan's thoughts.

Lin Chuan stared at the winding maze on the paper, frowned, and just said "Follow me", then walked forward until he stopped at the fork in the road at the end, facing the wall.

"Brother Lin, what is this?"

Old Yao looked at Lin Chuan facing the wall, somewhat puzzled.

Lin Chuan explained: "According to the layout of the Eight Trigrams Death Gate Kun position, this is most likely the location leading to the central hub."

"But it's sealed." Qin Sisi said.

"Help me shine the light on it." Lin Chuan placed both hands on the stone wall, carefully touching every part.

Suddenly, his two fingers touched two dimples.

That is the eye of the totem.

"With a hole?"

Lin Chuan instinctively inserted his finger cautiously, and his face suddenly lit up with joy. Sure enough, it was a mechanism hole!
Inside the hole, there are raised points, like a lock core, which are transmitted from the touch of fingers to the mind, and through the cognition of the mechanism, a diagram of the mechanism structure is formed.

After a while.

Lin Chuan pressed down suddenly with his index and middle fingers.

squeak-

A heavy voice, like a sigh of time, rang in the ears of the three people.

In the middle of the stone wall of the tomb passage in front of me, a stone door slowly opened backwards.

The strong light in the hands of the three people immediately penetrated the darkness and shone behind the stone gate. Behind the stone gate, under the reflection of the strong light, it was bright, and you could see that it was a large circular area.

There are unknown animal patterns carved on the stone wall.

There are also characters carved in small seal script, recording the deeds of the ancient Nanyue Kingdom.

Lin Chuan led the two of them to the central area and suddenly discovered a strange aura in the southeast.

There are also a series of footprints of different sizes on the ground.

Lin Chuan frowned: "A tomb robber has come in!"
