Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 889: Right Road and Forked Road

Everyone's expressions suddenly became tense.

Wang Jinpeng also turned off the searchlight, leaving only two flashlights, one in front and one behind.

Liu Jingfeng said, "Brother Lin, you said there are footprints here and it's very busy. Why did you choose this road?"

"Because all the footprints are going inward." Lin Ran replied.

At other cave entrances, no footprints can be seen at all.

Apart from the fact that the ground was a little dry, it was obvious that that team was also a master at going to the grave and knew how to move lightly.

But when I got here, I started to be desperate.

They must have encountered danger in a certain cave, maybe a monster like a giant spider or a giant snake, chasing them here.

Without more evidence, he could only speculate.

And from Lin Ran's perspective, the west is higher and the east is lower, which means that the east gate that we are currently walking through has been moving downwards, which is also in line with the design of the mausoleum going underground.

After walking a few steps, Wang Jinpeng at the front suddenly said: "There is a door."

In front of the cave, there is a bronze door, completely blocking the intersection.

At this point, the road is a little wider, and three people can move side by side.

Lin Ran leaned to the door and took a look. The copper door was rusty. He tried pushing it, but there was no response.

It’s time to open the door again.

Wang Jinpeng immediately took out his backpack, prepared to assemble the shovel, and called Xu Ning to come up and help.

Lin Ran said: "Don't worry, since someone has been here, this door must have a mechanism."

Otherwise they all died here, otherwise there must be footprints outside.

But no, which means they entered the cave and did not leave.

This door doesn't look like it's going to be easy to open.

"Let's try." Wang Jinpeng, Xu Ning and Lao Hei, the three strongest guys, came to the front of the team. They worked together to push the bronze door open.

Not moving.

"Is there really a mechanism?" Wang Jinpeng gritted his teeth. It looked like he still had to pry it open.

It's just that in such a narrow environment, it's really not suitable to use a shovel.

If someone really pries open the copper door, it will be impossible to restore it.

However, the surrounding walls were very smooth, and there was no trace of any mechanism at all.

"Brother Lin, do you think it's an innocent soul that misled us?" Hong Wu had been silent just now and suddenly mentioned this sentence.

No one answered because they didn't know how to reply to him.

It was Wang Jinpeng who patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't always think about it. It's not your first time going to the grave."

The last time was their first time working together, and at that time I didn't think Hong Wu was so timid.

How did he become such a timid person now? Not even Xu Ning can compare with him.

Xu Ning was very afraid of ghosts, but when Lin Ran said there wasn't one, he believed there wasn't one and became much calmer.

After searching for a long time, there was no mechanism on the wall next to the same door.

"Will you still light some candles?" Guan Yun asked, remembering the magical scene just now.

"You can try it." Lin Ran nodded. Anyway, there was no danger for the time being, so Lin Ran took out the candle that he had just blown out and lit it again.

But under the light of the candle, they didn't see any shadows or illusions.

"It's strange..." Wang Jinpeng squatted down and said, "The soil here is soft, can you dig a hole through it?"

Shoveling is easier than prying open the door.

As long as you dig deeper into the ground, you can dig a "mouse hole" for them to crawl through.

This is a method. Lin Ran shook his head and said, "When we go to the tomb, if we open the tomb door, under what circumstances will it be closed?"

The crowd fell silent.

Because when the Tufuzi went to the tomb, it was absolutely impossible to close the door before leaving the tomb.

Or you don’t want other people to enter the tomb, so that they can come back next time to pick up the cultural relics.

Or...they happened to find the switch of the copper door, and danger was chasing them!I had no choice but to close it.

"That's right." Lin Ran was very satisfied with Liu Jingfeng's answer.

This was also the reason why he objected to breaking open the door. If there was danger behind him and he chased him, they would not be able to hide in time.

At this time, Guan Yun said with a smile: "Then have you considered another possibility?"

"What is possible?"

"For example, they are chased in, and then...the opponent closes the door and catches the turtle."

Although he has never been to the grave, he is still a man who has been on the battlefield.

Under his reminder, Lin Ran felt as if he was waking up from a dream.

What he said doesn't seem to be unreasonable...

"Wait." Lin Ran approached the bronze door, then raised his ears and pressed them against the bronze door.

There was indeed a sound inside.

The sound insulation effect of the copper door is really good, and they didn't hear it at all.

"Shh." Lin Ran signaled everyone to quiet down.

Fortunately they didn't break down the door, otherwise they might have been noticed by the things inside.

"Is there anyone inside?" Wang Jinpeng asked in a low voice. He found it incredible that besides Lin Ran, there was someone who could solve the mystery of the tomb passage!

"To be honest, I'm not sure it's a human being." Lin Ran smiled bitterly.

"Could it really be a ghost?" Xu Ning's face also changed slightly. He was most afraid of these ghosts.

"No, the sound sounds weird." Lin Ran didn't know what the sound was. It sounded a bit like chewing, but he couldn't hear it clearly.

"Do we still want to go in?" Wang Jinpeng asked.

"Of course." The purpose of their visit was to go to the tomb, and Lin Ran increasingly felt that the archaeological team was not simple. He really wanted to know where they saw the stone tablet and found the orc head.

He turned his attention to Zhao Lijie, who shuddered directly.

"I don't know anything, don't look at me..." Zhao Lijie said solemnly, "I only know the approximate location. To be honest, I didn't expect them to get here. At that time, Captain Shen only said that the tomb was very weird. Then he held his head while talking, seeming to think of terrible things..."

Lin Ran picked up the map and looked at the marks on it.

When he first descended from the Robber's Cave, he did see the mercury pit trap with corpses inside, so the map should be real, at least not completely fake.

But...

Suddenly, Lin Ran realized something.

"southeast..."

He turned the map around and sighed.

"I know! When they came in, they used bright lights! So they saw the real road, while we took the phantom road!"

No wonder the map looked wrong. It turned out that there was a hidden hole where the first robbery hole was.

The things brought back by the archaeological team also confirmed that they were taking the wrong road. This is the real road to the tomb, but the future is uncertain.

While Lin Ran was thinking, everyone had developed a tacit understanding of listening silently.

Guan Yun's ears twitched and he glanced at the stone wall on the side of the bronze door.

He shouted in a low voice: "There is something!"

And he took out his military dagger and looked over there warily.
