The old man obviously wanted to avoid long nights and dreams. When he saw that the treasure boxes had been moved away, he did not stop and signaled his men to leave quickly.
After Yan Gui's last subordinate left, Fatty immediately followed behind to check on the situation.
If he finds that the tomb door is blocked, no matter how hard he pushes, it won't budge.
The fat man cursed: "If I go out, I won't be able to spare this guy Yan Gui."
"Only if you can get out." Jiang Hao sneered. He didn't seem to have any special mood swings about being betrayed. He looked like it was a matter of course.
In the tomb that was bustling just now, only Lin Ran, Jiang Hao, his nephew, Fatty and his injured men were left.
The exit has been blocked. If they don't find a way to leave quickly, not to mention the poisonous gas in the cave, even lack of oxygen will be enough to kill them.
The big man from before was shot in the shoulder and was bleeding.
Lin Ran took out the gauze and helped him to stop the bleeding and bandage briefly. However, if he was not sent to a doctor in time, his life would be in danger!
While Lin Ran was bandaging the big man, Jiang Hao and the fat man started to quarrel again.
He was already upset, so he shouted loudly: "Stop arguing. If you have the energy to argue, you might as well save it to find a way out."
"A way out?" Jiang Hao sneered, "The tools have been confiscated, don't you think there will be other exits from the ancient tomb, right?"
"Then just sit back and wait for death?" Lin Ran narrowed his eyes and asked, "How about we find a geomantic place, chat, pose, and wait for future generations to discover our skeletons?"
"Perhaps by then we can still be studied as an ancient person, and it will be considered a worthy death?"
Jiang Hao was speechless. This was the first time he heard Lin Ran speak in this tone.
In fact, Lin Ran is learning from Jiang Hao. This guy is obviously capable, but he is an extreme pessimist. He knows how to deny others, but cannot provide suggestions for improvement.
After bandaging the big man, Lin Ran stood up and looked for a possible way out of the tomb.
The walls of the main tomb were made of heavy bluestone bricks, and Fatty's tool bag had just been taken away by the old man and his men. It was simply an impossible task to break out of the tomb with brute force.
The old man left them here because he wanted them to be trapped alive. This was a crueler method than killing them directly!
Lin Ran would naturally not let his evil plan succeed, and would try to find a way out no matter what.
He suppressed his nausea and entered the sacrificial room.
There were no mechanisms on the walls, it was obviously just an ordinary tomb.
After entering the treasure room, the boxes had been emptied, and not even a copper plate was left on the ground.
As for the main tomb entrance, the stone door has been completely closed.
Now they are like the workers who built the mausoleum in the feudal period. The mausoleum has been completed, and they are just waiting to be suffocated to death in the mausoleum.
Lin Ran recalled that the structure of the tomb door was obviously supported from the inside by cast stones, forming a perfect fit with the door beam.
At this time, they had already moved the stone out, and it was pressing against the door from the outside.
He raised the flashlight and shined it upwards, and saw the alcove that had been pushed in. Unexpectedly, the tomb was designed to be a two-way structure, with the same mortise and tenon structure inside.
This door is two-way. As long as you can unlock the mortise and tenon, the door can be opened.
Lin Ran told the other three people what he had discovered. The big man could not stand up now, while the fat man excused himself by saying that his waist was not good and he could not support Lin Ran.
Without saying a word, Jiang Hao stood under the door beam and said to Lin Ran: "Brother, you don't need me to carry you up, do you?"
"Thank you." Lin Ran jumped on his shoulders without saying a word, and climbed onto the beam with the help of his shoulders.
Sure enough, it has the same mortise and tenon structure as the outside. The swallow tail structures are nested into each other, and the mortise and tenon joints made of marble cannot be easily damaged.
"Do you have anything else on you that can be used to beat?" Lin Ran asked.
The fat man sighed and said, "My tool bag has all been confiscated, otherwise there would be a small hammer in it."
The door beam inside is different from the outside. There is room for force inside, although the extent is not large.
As long as you choose the right angle, you can open the mortise and tenon joints bit by bit.
However, tools are needed and hands are definitely not enough.
Everyone was silent for a while, and there was nothing in their hands.
It was Jiang Hao who said: "Yan Gui left us nothing..."
I thought he was going to say something depressing again, but I heard him add: "Since this is a general's tomb, ancient generals would always be buried with some weapons."
His words made Lin Ran enlightened!
As long as you open the ancient tomb chamber, you will indeed have a great chance of finding weapons and breaking the structure.
The fat man poured cold water on him: "We don't have tools, how do you want to open the door? Dig it with your hands?"
Jiang Hao replied: "Of course I have a way, it just depends on whether the experts believe me or not."
Lin Ran jumped down from the beam. Now they only had two flashlights in their hands, and everything else was confiscated by Yan Gui and his men.
He asked curiously: "Brother Jiang Hao, what method do you have?"
"Jiang Yu, do you still have your things with you?" Jiang Hao asked his nephew.
Jiang Yu nodded and rolled up his trousers. There was actually a thick hemp rope on his calf.
No wonder he was obviously very thin, but his legs looked thick. I was just confused at the time, but now I suddenly realized it.
"The most taboo thing about going to a grave is trusting strangers." Jiang Hao led a group of people to the tombstone. There was no name engraved on the tombstone, only a very simple tiger totem.
Jiang Hao said: "Expert Lin, the situation is urgent now, and I can't care about the protection of cultural relics. Is that okay?"
"Of course." Lin Ran is not a pedantic person. He will protect the integrity of the tomb as much as possible, but on the premise of his own life safety.
"That's good." Jiang Hao actually took out a saber from the inside of his thigh, stabbed the connection between the tombstones a few times, and then started digging holes.
Half an hour passed, and Lin Ran felt a little sleepy.
He stood up suddenly and said to the big man: "Brother, you can't fall asleep, do you understand?"
The big man's upper and lower eyelids were already fighting. After hearing Lin Ran's words, he nodded somewhat hollowly and was about to fall asleep again in the blink of an eye.
But the fat man patted him heavily on the shoulder: "I told you not to sleep, but you still sleep!"
The big man just managed to cheer up.
Lin Ran felt that the situation was not good. They would become sleepy, not only because of the mechanical friction sound, but also because the oxygen concentration in the tomb was constantly declining.
If I fall asleep, I'm afraid I will sleep here forever.
"Okay!" Jiang Hao finally found a corner and signaled to Jiang Yu, who threw the hemp rope to him.
Jiang Hao inserted the general's sword into the gap between the bricks on the ground and wrapped a hemp rope around a corner of the tombstone.
"Come here and lend a hand." Jiang Hao tried to pull, but there was no movement, so he called Lin Ran and Fatty to come and help.
The fat man said to the big man: "Liuzi, I'm going to do some work. Don't fall asleep, you know?"
The big man nodded blankly.
Lin Ran took the hemp rope and tried to pull it. He really didn't know how Jiang Hao managed to wrap the hemp rope so tightly. It was very strong.
But now is not the time to ask, Jiang Hao said: "I'll count one, two, three, let's pull hard together!"
