Chapter 431 Eyeless Mummy
Fatty Wang and Ghost Detective Xu Mulu were surprised, apparently they did not expect that such a bronze door was hidden in this unremarkable secret room.

"This door looks so old, there must be some treasure hidden behind it, get rich, Fatty is about to get rich." Fatty Wang looked excited and murmured to himself excitedly.

"Which of you can understand the patterns on it?" Ghost Detective Xu took the phone and studied the rusty patterns.

"It looks a bit like totem worship. This door may be older than we thought." I squinted and looked at the bronze door in front of me.

"I never heard that there are any great nobles in this poor place of ours?" Ghost Detective Xu's eyes showed puzzlement.

"That's right. Although Fatty is not good at history, he also knows that our place, which dynasty or generation, has nothing to do with the famous capital and city." Fatty Wang echoed.

"The shape and layout of this door looks like a relic. How about it, you have to open the bronze door to know." I tentatively stretched out my hand and pushed the bronze door.

The bronze door didn't move at all, and I don't know if it was rusted to death, or it needed to touch a specific mechanism to open it.

"Everyone help to find, see if there is any hidden mechanism nearby." I kept knocking on the door with one hand.

Fatty Wang is not active in other things, but once he has something to do with Tanbao, this guy immediately feels like a chicken blood.

This guy usually picks and chooses things, and he doesn't think it's dirty right now. He just lay down on the ground, held up his mobile phone, and searched in the cracks under the door.

Ghost Detective Xu is experienced, and he stretched out his hand to check the patterns on the bronze door one by one, trying to find the mechanism to open the bronze door.

I don't know who touched what, there was a crisp sound, and a piece of bronze fell from the door.

"Hey, look quickly, there is a groove hidden here." Ghost Detective Xu raised his voice and shouted.

"Where is it, let the fat man take a look first." Fatty Wang got up all at once, and rushed over first.

"It looks like a pinball controller. Could it be that it's a mechanism to open the door?" Ghost Detective Xu held up his phone and lit it aside.

I walked over first, bent down to pick up the bronze piece that fell on the ground, held it in my hand and looked it over, but I didn't see any tricks, so I threw it on the ground casually.

Fatty Wang bowed his body, like a fat shrimp, and studied in front of the bronze door, completely blocking my sight.

I leaned over, patted Fatty Wang on the shoulder, and told him to move aside, only then could I see the groove in Ghost Tan Xu's mouth clearly.

The groove design is very delicate, but because of the age, many places have been corroded and rusted, and now only a circular hole can be barely seen.

"What does this mean? Do you want to find a glass bead and throw it in?" Fatty Wang studied for a long time, but he didn't find the mystery.

The moment I saw the circular hole, I subconsciously felt a little familiar, and gestured for the size with my hand, and that familiar feeling became even stronger.

"Brother Zhang, have you seen any tricks?" Ghost Detective Xu asked from the side.

I lowered my head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned around and walked towards the place where Huo Xin Yao was killed.

"Hey, why are you going?" Fatty Wang yelled behind him.

I didn't speak, walked over and squatted down, pulled out the waste, and picked up a fluorescent bead.

This is the soul orb left behind by Huoxinxi after his death. I held it in my hand and made a gesture. The size fits the circular hole very well.

"I'll go, don't tell me, this bead is the key to open the bronze door?" Fatty Wang stared at me with wide eyes.

"I don't know either, just try it." I took the soul orb and walked towards the bronze door.

In fact, I don't know whether the soul orb can open the bronze door. It should be inferred that the heart-wrenching monster and the bronze door should be two irrelevant things.

I stood in front of the groove, pinched the soul orb with my fingers, aimed at the hole, and opened my fingers lightly.

The soul bead rolled in, and there was a tinkling sound inside, which became smaller and smaller, and then the sound disappeared.

We blinked and stood in front of the bronze door, motionless.

After a while, there was no change in the bronze door, and disappointment flashed in my eyes.

"Hey, just tell me, Fatty, how could that bead open the bronze door, you must be overthinking it." Fatty Wang put an afterthought on the side.

"How about finding a tool to forcibly pry open the door?" Ghost Detective Xu tentatively suggested.

As soon as the words fell, the bronze door suddenly changed, and a faint fluorescent light glowed between the rusty gaps.

"What's the situation, is this?" Fatty Wang took a few steps back in shock.

"Brother Zhang was really fooled. Everyone stand back and be careful." Ghost Detective Xu's tone was a little excited.

My eyes were fixed on the bronze door, the fluorescent light on it, the breath made me feel a little familiar, but when I thought about it carefully, I couldn't find anything.

A dull sound came from the bronze door, and the green patina on it fell down.

The dust was a little big, I covered my nose, subconsciously took a few steps back.

The bronze door in front made a creaking sound, and the gap in the middle of the door was getting bigger and bigger.

"It's open! It's open!" Fatty Wang's eyes were full of excitement. Looking at this guy's expression, he probably thought there was some treasure hidden behind the door.

I'm not as optimistic as Fatty Wang, and it really surprised me that the bewitching soul orb was able to open the bronze door.

Holding up his mobile phone, Ghost Detective Xu tried to stretch his arms, trying to take a clear picture of what was behind the door.

My back was slightly tense, I was holding the Gouyu sword tightly, and my whole body was on guard, ready to respond at any time.

Half a minute later, the heavy bronze door was fully opened, but the flying dust prevented us from seeing clearly what was behind the door for the time being.

"Maybe it's an ancient tomb, we're going to get rich." Fatty Wang cheered and ran forward.

"Fatty, be careful!" I frowned, I didn't expect Fatty Wang to be so reckless.

Holding up his mobile phone, Ghost Detective Xu took a few steps forward, and he could vaguely see that there was a grotto behind the door, with obvious traces of artificial excavation.

I was worried that Fatty Wang would encounter an accident, so I walked forward quickly, but the muscles in my arms did not relax for a moment, and could deliver a fatal blow at any time.

The figure of Fatty Wang disappeared in the diffuse dust. This guy is a standard guy who wants money but not life.

In the blink of an eye, before I got close to the bronze door, there was a sudden exclamation from inside.

"Fatty, what's the matter?" My scalp tightened, not knowing what was going on inside.

"Oh my god, what is this?" With an exclamation, Fatty Wang's fat figure ran out of it at a faster speed than before.

"Old Wang, what did you see?" Ghost Detective Xu looked nervous, and subconsciously took out the dagger from his back.

"Mummy, there's a mummy inside!" Fatty Wang said out of breath.

"A mummy scares you like this?" I frowned, looking at Fatty Wang's pale face, feeling a little dissatisfied in my heart.

"Who, who said that Fat Master is scared, but that thing is a bit disgusting, and Fat Master didn't get used to it for a while." Fatty Wang had a stiff mouth and stuck his neck to argue.

I didn't bother arguing with that coward, and I shot like lightning, blessing a few of myself with the Five Ding and Five Jia Seals.

Behind the bronze door, I don't know what is hidden. Since there are mummified corpses, it is probably not a good place. With the protection of the Wuding and Wujia seals, everyone can be more protected if they are attacked.

"I'll go in first, followed by Lao Xu and Fatty." With a vigilant look on my face, I moved forward step by step.

After some delay, the dust that had been flying before gradually fell, and the scene in the grotto unfolded before our eyes.

I don't know how deep the grotto is, and the range of the mobile phone's illumination is limited, so I can only see some nearby things clearly.

As soon as I stepped into the bronze door, I saw the mummy that Fatty Wang just mentioned, but the state of the mummy was a bit weird.

"What's the situation? Why is the mummy still bound by iron chains?" Ghost Detective Xu approached cautiously.

What appeared in front of us was a man-made stone pillar, on which was bound an air-dried corpse with iron chains. His clothes were torn, his skin was black, and his rotten black and yellow teeth looked disgusting.

"Is this thing dead? Will it be a corpse?" Fatty Wang asked cautiously while hiding behind us.

I took a few steps closer and looked at the mummy. The identity and age of the mummy were already unknown, and I didn't find anything of value nearby.

"Be careful, everyone, and explore further ahead." I squinted my eyes and scanned the surrounding area.

This grotto is more than three meters wide, and the stone walls on both sides are obviously piled up later, and even the top of the head can be seen to be artificially reinforced.

"Looking at this layout, it doesn't look like an ancient tomb. Who built this grotto?" Ghost Detective Xu's tone was full of doubts.

I didn't answer, because I didn't know the answer myself, so I kept walking forward with some curiosity in my heart.

"That mummy has no eyes, and the eyeballs were gouged out." Fatty Wang, who had been following behind him, suddenly said.

I turned around abruptly and stared at Fatty Wang in astonishment, not knowing what he meant by what he said just now.

"Don't look at me like that, Fatty can't tell, it just doesn't feel good." Fatty Wang scratched his head vigorously.

"Don't worry about the mummy, go ahead and have a look." I was eager to figure out the origin of this grotto, it's just a mummy, so there's no need to be too entangled.

"Brother Zhang, you have grown up here since you were a child, and you don't know anything about the origin of this grotto?" Ghost detective Xu held up his phone and illuminated it for me.

"If I had known earlier, it would have been easier." I smiled wryly.

"There seems to be something in front of you. Fatty has bad eyesight. Who of you can see clearly? What is that?" Fatty Wang said behind him.

"It looks like a tripod, go and have a look." I squinted and quickened my pace.

After walking a few steps, my eyelids suddenly twitched, I stopped subconsciously, and looked around suspiciously, but found nothing.

"Why don't you leave?" Fatty Wang appeared beside him, looking at me strangely.

"I felt like someone was looking at me just now, do you have that feeling?" I asked with a frown.

"Really? Fatty is timid, don't scare me." Fatty Wang stared into my eyes for a few seconds to confirm that I was not joking, shrunk his neck, and hid behind me.
