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

If you want to cross the crack, you can only crawl forward, and there is a steep slope inside, so you can't guarantee whether there will be any danger.

Therefore, one person was needed to explore the path, and this job obviously fell on Wang Jinpeng.

He didn't shirk, threw the bag away, and prepared to crawl over.

"Wait a minute." Lin Ran grabbed him, then took out the rope from his backpack, tied it under his shoulders, and then tied it in a cross-shaped knot.

"Is this necessary?" Wang Jinpeng looked at the rope on his body and laughed.

"It might be slippery inside. If you slip down, you might be in danger." Lin Ran was not joking with him.

"Okay, let me go in and take a look first." Wang Jinpeng restrained his joking attitude.

He lay on the ground, held a flashlight in his mouth, covered his face with a piece of cloth, and crawled toward the other side of the crack.

Liu Jingfeng also asked at this time: "Brother Lin, have you studied the tombs of Khitan? Are they often arranged like this?"

"How is that possible?" Lin Ran replied, "The Liao mausoleums unearthed in Liaoning and other places are all regular tombs. Only people of the emperor's level would design the tombs in all kinds of weird ways."

They stopped talking, staring straight at the crack, waiting for Wang Jinpeng's reply.

I just heard a shout from the crack: "Come in and take a look. There are many holes here, like a maze."

After confirming that there was no danger, they climbed into the crack one by one.

It's very slippery inside, and even if you're lying on the ground, it's easy to fall from this angle.

Therefore, they could only move forward by holding on to the rope, and the speed was very slow.

The scene in front of him reminded Lin Ran of rats in the sewers. The caves were so complicated that it was impossible to tell which hole to go through.

Naturally, they turned their attention to Lin Ran for help. Lin Ran shook his head. This was his first time entering such a maze.

"Let's just keep climbing forward. Since there is a rope, we don't have to worry about getting lost." Lin Ran suggested. This was really a helpless move.

Fortunately, everyone trusted him, and after receiving the prompt, they crawled forward under the leadership of Wang Jinpeng.

One step...two steps!

Not even after crawling for a long time, Wang Jinpeng in front complained: "Brother Lin, how deep do you think this hole is?"

"I don't know." Lin Ran looked back, followed by Xu Ning, and said, "But we should have dropped more than 20 meters."

"Do you feel like it's getting colder?" Liu Jingfeng asked.

The surrounding temperature was indeed dropping, and Lin Ran also felt a chill.

He said: "This thing doesn't look like it was man-made. It should be a natural cave, so it won't be too deep."

"Go to the natural cave? Taizu Liao buried himself in the cave?" Wang Jinpeng muttered.

"Didn't Xu Yi say it before? Khitan culture worshiped gods and ancestors in caves. Maybe natural caves have a better sense of belonging." Lin Ran speculated.

Huang Hao climbed in front of Lin Ran and was rubbing his arms with his hands. He looked very cold.

At this moment, Lin Ran felt something was wrong and suddenly said: "Wait a minute."

"What's wrong?" Everyone in the team stopped crawling and felt nervous.

Lin Ran observed the surrounding environment. They were invisible in the darkness, and their flashlights were facing forward.

In the event of a poisonous insect or snake, they would not be able to cope with it in such a small space.

"It's best to bring weapons." When they went out, everyone was equipped with a dagger for self-defense, mainly because they were scared by the snakes last time, so they were prepared this time.

"It's hard to climb with a dagger." Huang Hao said.

"Take it as you please, there are so many words to say." Liu Jingfeng ordered.

Lin Ran felt something was wrong, but couldn't explain what was going on.

Everyone had their weapons out and kept them at hand, making the crawl even slower.

After climbing forward for a while, Wang Jinpeng at the front hurriedly said: "Look, everyone! There is a river ahead!"

The crack suddenly opened up, and it looked like they had finally climbed to another cave entrance.

Wang Jinpeng jumped out first. He leaned out of the crack and looked outside. The crack was not high and he could jump directly to the ground below.

They left the cave. The space here was very wide. Looking up, it was at least 50 meters high.

This mountain is actually empty!

Moreover, not far in front of them, a river was flowing slowly.

"underground river!"

I saw that the river beach was covered with gravel. In addition to pebbles, there were also a lot of blood stones!

These stones are laid out in an orderly manner, obviously they were laid by humans!

Follow the direction of the river and meander forward.

But they were not in a hurry to leave. After the fright and travel, they were already tired and decided to rest here for a while.

After measuring the air quality, they built a fire and planned to cook a meal here.

"Do you think it feels like having a picnic?" Wang Jinpeng took some water from the river and burned it on the stone stove with the iron bowl he brought.

"I think you are crazy to have a picnic in the mausoleum." Huang Hao rolled his eyes at him.

Lin Ran and others sat nearby, chewing bread, covering their mouths and laughing.

But joking aside, Lin Ran was still a little confused as to why the underground river was sealed in the mausoleum in front of everyone.

Judging from the direction of the water flow, this should be the bottom of the mountain.

After eating, they headed along the trail.

According to their speculation, the tomb was either at the top of the mountain or at the bottom of the cave. Apparently they had reached the lowest level of the cave.

However, no trace of the existence of the tomb was still found.

Keep walking along the path, and an even weirder scene appeared.

They actually came to the door of another cave, and they left the mountain!

Seeing the scene in front of them, everyone was stunned.

"We took so many risks and just found a way down the mountain?" Wang Jinpeng pinched his face hard to see if he was dreaming.

The pain on his face told him that this was reality.

When you walk out of the cave and shine the flashlight, you will find an area with lush vegetation in front of you.

Liu Jingfeng's expression changed and he said, "You took such a big risk and actually came down from the mountain!"

He was also very upset. Could this tomb of Liao Taizu be a lie?

Lin Ran calmed down and compared the terrain in his mind.

"No, this is not the bottom of the mountain." Lin Ran said, "In other words, it is not the bottom of the mountain where we came."

Because the grass and trees he saw were completely different.

It can be judged by the direction of the branches that when they came, they were on the sunny side of the mountain, but now, the branches are spreading towards the north, and they have come to the shady side of the mountain!

"We didn't go to the wrong place!"

Lin Ran said firmly.
