Chapter 484 The real master’s tomb!
Of course Lin Ran didn't give up.
He was simply studying the paint on the marble on the floor.
Not all marbles stick together, he found a single piece of marble.
The black mist had spread in front of him, and Lin Ran took out the shovel and inserted it into the gap in the marble.
"Jinpeng, come here and help!" Lin Ran ignored the politeness and explained directly: "This piece of marble can be pried open. Don't think that the stone door in front of you has a mechanism. The tunnel is here!"
Wang Jinpeng was stunned for a moment, but he immediately reacted.
He and Xu Ning grabbed the shovel from Lin Ran's hand and pried it with all their strength.
Others covered their mouths and noses to avoid inhaling too much of the black mist.
Perhaps it is at times of crisis that everyone's potential is brought out.
In just a few seconds, they pried open the marble.
Underneath the marble was a dark mass.
But they had no time to measure the air inside. Wang Jinpeng took the lead, and the others jumped in.
"Ouch." When Lin Ran jumped in, he stepped on Wang Jinpeng.
The tunnel was three meters deep. Fortunately, Wang Jinpeng made meat pads to provide a buffer for them. Most of them were not injured, but Zhenbao had some sprained feet.
Liu Jingfeng hurried to help him and said apologetically: "Master Zhenbao, thank you for your hard work."
"It doesn't matter. Being able to see King Zao's tomb in this life is not a disgrace to our master." Zhenbao's face was serious.
"Yes, I, Huang Hao, am worth it too."
"Hey, why don't you ask me how I am?" Wang Jinpeng was stepped on several times just now. If his skin and flesh weren't thick and rough, he would be scarred now.
But he just dusted himself off and stood up.
Pick up the flashlight and shine it upward.
The black mist did not diffuse in. Their mass seemed to be smaller than the air, and they could only float upwards, not sink.
They were relieved.
However, most people think that it is just delaying time, and the way back has been blocked.
"Don't be depressed, the main tomb should be at the front of the tunnel." Lin Ran said.
I don’t know who left the tunnel, but after the last Zamp was buried, there was another entrance to the main tomb that should have been sealed.
Is this destiny or coincidence?
Regardless of whether they still have a way out, they have reached the end, and they naturally don't want to give up.
Just as Wang Jinpeng was about to take the lead, Xu Ning patted him on the shoulder.
Without saying a word, he just took out the shovel and motioned for Wang Jinpeng to stand behind him.
He wants to go to the front of the line.
Wang Jinpeng nodded, picked up the shovel and followed.
Fortunately, there is no danger or trap in the tunnel.
At the end, there were several skeletons.
Their bones were intact and there were no signs of injury.
"Are they also here to rob the tomb?" Huang Hao said in a soliloquy voice.
"No, they starved to death." Lin Ran saw an iron chain hanging on the corpse's hand. The most terrifying thing was that the iron chain was not holding them.
Instead, it goes directly through the hand bones and surrounds them.
Seeing the chain, Lin Ran instantly understood their identities————
Tomb Keeper.
The last line of defense of Zao Tomb.
They live in darkness and live off tribute.
Behind them, there was an iron frame, already rusty.
Lin Ran raised his head. If he stood up as an adult, he should be able to push away the stone slab above.
We don’t know what material it is made of, but the tombkeepers seemed to want to enter the main tomb before they died, so they dug this tunnel.
Xu Ning stood on the ground and used a shovel to push the stone slab above.
Because I'm not tall enough, I can't push it at all.
When he wanted to stand on the iron frame, he found that the iron frame was a little loose.
After all, iron is not a stable metal. After a long time, it has long since rusted and is no longer as strong as before.
"Don't go up there." Lin Ran said, "If you stand on it and exert force, it will definitely collapse the iron frame."
"What should we do?" Xu Ning was a little anxious. He was not tall enough, but he was anxious to find a way out for everyone.
"Here, you can cooperate with him." Lin Ran squatted down. In fact, when he jumped down just now, he also twisted his foot.
It's just that it moves slowly in the dark, so no one notices.
He sat on the ground and rubbed the swollen area.
You need to apply a cold compress, Lin Ran took a look at the wound and judged.
If he sprains his foot at a critical moment, going down the mountain will be a burden. He must get better quickly, so he cannot exercise strenuously, otherwise he will go up the mountain himself.
The person he was referring to was none other than Wang Jinpeng.
"Me?" Wang Jinpeng didn't react for a moment and said, "I'm not as tall as him."
But a minute later, he finally understood what Lin Ran meant.
Xu Ning stood on Wang Jinpeng's back, while Wang Jinpeng supported the wall and maintained a half-crouched posture.
"Ouch!" Wang Jinpeng wailed as Xu Ning exerted his strength.
After all, the effects of force are mutual. If Xu Ning pushes the stone slab above, Wang Jinpeng will also receive a corresponding push.
The tombkeeper seemed to have tried many times, and the stone slab was already a little loose.
Under Xu Ning's full blow, quicksand began to form on the ceiling.
"Leave quickly!" Xu Ning jumped down and pulled Wang Jinpeng to the safe area without waiting for his reaction.
The moment they left, a stone slab fell, along with a large amount of sand.
"Cough cough..."
When the dust dispersed, Xu Ning stood below with a flashlight and shined it.
The top can't be seen at all!
A rare smile appeared on his face: "There is a road here."
"Well." Lin Ran said to the others, "Let's climb up through the iron frame. The height should be about the same."
No wonder Xu Ning was not allowed to step on the iron frame before. It turned out to be for this purpose.
Xu Ning knew that Wang Jinpeng was also injured, but he didn't say anything, so he took the lead and climbed into the tomb first, reaching out to pick people up.
Until everyone entered the tomb.
The full picture of the magical Zao Tomb was finally revealed before their eyes!
This is the Tomb of Zao!
Lin Ran sighed.
In front of them was the underground palace complex!
There are a total of five temples, and preliminary estimates cover an area of [-] square meters.
Pagodas, tombs, colonnades and palaces are all here!
It's as if they are still living here, but their foothold has become a mausoleum.
Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them!
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have been able to imagine that there was a holy land hidden in the snowy mountains!
It doesn't look like it was dug out manually.
Lin Ran speculated that the first generation Zamp found this cave by chance and came up with the idea of building it into an imperial mausoleum.
From the perspective of Tibetan Buddhism, this place is more suitable for spiritual practice than as a tomb.
But they did not expect that the last Zampu, Langmuda, who hated Buddhism to the core, would also be buried in the holy mountain.
Anyway, they reached the end of their journey.
The previous fatigue and frustration were gone.
"Brothers, let's start exploring!"
Lin Ran stretched his muscles and said, although his legs and feet are not very convenient, it still cannot stop him from exploring history!
