Chapter 117
With no choice left, the three discussed for a while and decided to move forward along the only passage.

Zhang Long and Wu Mingshu had just disappeared here, most of what they were looking for was inside, and now they lightly give up and are sorry for the previous hard work.

You Wangxin calmed down his shortness of breath a little, and mustered up the courage to step down the first step.

Since he was the one who suggested taking the risk, he naturally wouldn't hide behind and be a coward, and there was no danger in the passageway.

Jin Linxi is in the middle, Qian Gui is in the back.

The steps going down are relatively gentle, and the wall on the right is inlaid with a row of rough convex stones, presumably for people to help maintain balance.

For safety reasons, the three of them did not touch the convex rock, but chose to walk slowly on tiptoe.

Every five or six steps, a small lighting lamp appeared on the stone wall, which was obviously used by previous entrants to illuminate.

These portable lights come with powerful batteries, enough to guarantee the use of a day or even several days.

The passage is inclined downward, and there is no turning point after walking through 36 steps continuously, as if going straight up and down.

Facts have proved that their worries were unnecessary, and the journey went smoothly without any accidents.

Just after descending the 36 steps, a wide stone wall like a screen appeared five steps away.

A large lush forest is carved on the stone wall, and there is no fill in it except for tall trees and twining ivy.

The technique of sketching and drawing is very simple, without any bells and whistles.

You Wangxin was about to move on, but was grabbed by Jin Linxi behind him, pointed at the stone wall in the middle with his finger, and gently parted his vermilion lips.

After entering the descending channel, the three of them no longer communicated aloud as agreed, but changed to hand gestures and palm writing, lest they be discovered by their predecessors.

At this moment, there was no need for Jin Linxi to explain or communicate further. She could tell what she wanted to express just from the shape of her mouth.

There are words!

It couldn't be easier.

Follow the direction of her finger, and take two steps back, then look at the "screen" stone wall.

The "words" mentioned by Jin Linxi are not engraved grandiosely on them. To be precise, they are "pieced together" from carved and painted trees.

They are so vague that if you don't pay attention, you will ignore their existence.

The most conspicuous thing is the word "生" on the left end. The trees in this area are relatively sparsely carved.

Birth?
What does it mean?have a baby?
You Wang scanned the entire stone wall suspiciously, and found that there were two characters on the right side that were faintly visible, but it was extremely difficult to see due to the angle.

The three of them looked at each other in a tacit understanding, walked ten steps back from the steps behind them, and then looked at the stone wall.

The other two characters finally revealed the true face of Mount Lu.

long!
seek!
Live, grow and seek!

What the hell does this mean?
But this thought only flashed, and You Wangxin realized it instantly.

This is clearly——

Looking for longevity!
The three characters are vigorous and powerful, with a sense of domineering and proud jumping off the wall, as if looking down on the common people.

This feeling became more and more obvious as the three retreated again.

"Boss, be careful, there are organs behind!"

Just as the three of You Wangxin subconsciously continued to retreat, a thought came out from the bronze medal in the pocket trembling, reminding the slightly absent-minded master.

There are organs!
You Wangxin woke up immediately, quickly moved his hands together to grab the companion beside him, and tilted his head to indicate the position behind him.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

The so-called mechanism is not some unfathomable and complicated device, but a trap that is too simple to be simple.

The width direction of the sinkhole occupies all the space, and the depth reaches four or five meters.

Its bottom is densely covered with sharp gun tips, and the black blood stains on it make people feel chilling.

So sinister!
Taking advantage of the general curiosity of the entrants, coupled with the fact that they have not encountered any danger before, everyone will lose the minimum vigilance.

There is no need for complicated mechanical operation, just a simple step on the air.

Killing is invisible, as evidenced by the two corpses in the pit.

The two who died were wearing gray blouses and turbans to cover their faces, with dried and black blood stains all over their bodies.

It turned out to be two Sand Bandits!
Moreover, he died here in the last day or two, and the spots on his body were not very obvious.

The three of You Wangxin are no strangers to this outfit, and had a "friendly" discussion with them two days ago.

Could it be that Zhang Long and Zhang Long are still involved with sand bandits?

Of course, in addition to the shock at this moment, there was also the luck of being spared, and the previous contempt no longer existed.

Just when the three of them didn't know whether to move forward, there was a faint commotion from the other side of the stone wall, as if someone had a dispute.

The uproar sounded very far away, and the content of the quarrel was not very clear.

Suppressing the hesitation and shock in his heart for the time being, You Wangxin made a "forward" gesture and walked to the back of the stone wall first.

At the moment when he saw the bandit's body, he did hesitate briefly, but the adventurous spirit hidden in his bones still made him decide to take a gamble.

Wealth and wealth are sought in danger, and people do not take risks in vain for young people.

Furthermore, the words "seeking longevity" gave him a bold guess.

Perhaps—this is really related to the [Eternal Life].

You Wangxin slowly poked his head out from behind the stone wall, and waved to his companions after making sure there was no danger.

Behind the wall is a tall and wide stone hall.

Even with more than a dozen portable lights placed along the wall, the stone hall was still extremely dark.It is this artificial darkness that adds endless weird atmosphere to the stone palace.

What kind of underground ruins is this? It is clearly a mortuary for mortuary bodies.

In addition to a two-meter-wide passage in the middle, rows of sarcophagi are densely parked in the stone hall.

The sarcophagus is not laid flat, but tilted at an angle, opening neatly to the central passage.

Most of the sarcophagi remain half-open, with only half of the coffin lid placed on top of it, and there is a skeleton arm stretching out straight inside the coffin, as if the coffin lid is about to be closed at will.

Grandma drops!
Is this the rhythm of "death for money"?

This is the second time he has dealt with tombs, and the last experience is still fresh in his memory.

The fierce quarrel came from another corridor at the end of the passage, where there was also a stone wall screen.

The focus of the quarrel seems to be around the "key", occasionally mixed with rhetoric such as "longevity", "treasure", and "mission".

Ignoring it, You Wangxin swallowed hard and bravely looked into the nearest sarcophagus.

Ouch I'm going!

Lying inside was a wet corpse that had not completely decomposed, with wriggling maggots climbing on it. One arm remained half-raised, only a few centimeters outside the coffin.

The blood-stained clothes have not completely rotted, and very regular holes are displayed in front of them.

what!
Did this skeleton also fall into the pit and die?
Also, why can't you smell the stench of rotting corpses?

Burying the question in his heart for the time being, You Wangxin gestured to his two companions, asking them to help check the other sarcophagi.

The two immediately understood each other and each chose a row of sarcophagi and walked away.

After each inspecting five or six sarcophagi, the three gathered in the middle passage to communicate with each other.

The results obtained are almost the same——

Every open sarcophagus contained a skeleton, and the causes of death were different, and some of the skeletons even had mutilated limbs.

As for the closed sarcophagus, none of the three of them checked because they were worried about causing more disturbance.

None of this matters.

An even more intense argument reached their ears again, completely attracting their attention.
