Chapter 261 They are coming down soon
Peng Zi stared at the calm water surface. In the blink of an eye, several big hands suddenly stretched out from the water, trying to grab the feet of Qin Yuchen and Zhang Qiling.
But the two standing people didn't change their expressions, they still swung their swords and the blood mist was dispersed again.
Peng Zi believed Wang Kan's words, rubbed his sore butt, stood up, and thanked Zhang Qiling.
"You just said that the real tomb is not here. Could it be under this coffin?" asked Boss Qian.
"Well, there should be a mechanism underneath that allows it to rotate." Peng Zi nodded.
"But this blood mist is so unexpected. How are we supposed to get there and activate the mechanism?"
“And there’s nowhere to stay.”
The coffin was placed horizontally in the center of the disc, almost taking up the entire disc, with only a small amount of space on both sides for a person to stand.
"Dead man." Tan Yuchen retreated from the pool and said,
"Let them not feel that you are alive."
"Ah? This is really embarrassing..." All nine people frowned and complained.
"The armor of those iron figurines is okay." Zhang Qiling looked at them.
"..."
"Put on your armor and try to hold your breath," he added.
Nine people: "..."
Everyone fell silent and looked towards the gate.
In fact, they can't see the outside scenery from here, but they always have a feeling that they are being stared at by countless pairs of eyes.
There are two choices: either go ahead and see how to activate the mechanism, or kill a few iron figurines before activating the mechanism.
"Damn him!" Boss Qian made the decision first. He could still fight for the iron figurine, but he couldn't defend against this bloody hand.
As the saying goes, it's easy to dodge an open sword, but hard to guard against an arrow from the dark! They are just numerous, but that doesn't mean there is no way to deal with them.
"It's come to this. We can't just regret it and take this little stuff back, right?"
"That's right!"
Others also responded.
"We can use ropes to pull them up one by one," Wang Kan suggested. "If they can't even get onto the platform, they certainly won't get into the hall."
"feasible."
"I feel so too."
"Then let's try it." The nine people said and started walking out the door.
Qin Yuchen watched them walk out the door, gripped his knife tightly, turned back to look at Zhang Qiling, and nodded at him.
Zhang Qiling had already jumped to a place where only one person could stand. He reached out to lift up the talisman papers and felt around on them inch by inch.
In fact, as long as Qin Yuchen didn't approach the pool, the blood hand formed by the blood mist would not actively attack Zhang Qiling. However, just in case, Qin Yuchen stayed far away, but his eyes were always on Zhang Qiling.
The moment Fa Qiu's finger penetrated the mechanism, the two of them saw with keen eyes that the calm pool water seemed to be struggling.
Then, the coffin opened from the middle to both sides, revealing the intact man inside, whose face could still be seen.
The man wore a crown on his head and dark-colored casual clothes embroidered with patterns such as clouds and four-clawed dragons, and a brocade bag and jade pendant around his waist.
Surrounding it are burial objects such as silk books, jade articles, gold ornaments, etc., which look dazzling and have everything you expect.
The man folded his hands on his dantian and lay quietly on the cushion, as if he was asleep, lively yet silent.
Zhang Qiling didn't look at it too much. He carefully turned the corpse sideways, lifted the red cloth on the left side of the corpse, reached out to find the main hole hidden underneath, hooked the gold wire inside, twisted and pulled it, and when he heard the clicking sound, he quickly put the corpse and everything back to their original places.
This time the pool water really began to struggle, boiling from the outside to the center.
The coffin in the middle rotated 180 degrees, from being placed horizontally facing the door to being placed vertically facing the door, and then moved an inch to the right, revealing a passage that was not very big and was only wide enough for one person to pass through.
Zhang Qiling looked at Qin Yuchen.
"I'll go down first."
Qin Yuchen raised his eyebrows, nodded to Zhang Qiling, and quickly slid across the pool into the passage.
The people outside the door came late and opened their eyes wide in shock when they saw Qin Yuchen disappear.
When they saw Zhang Qiling standing on the coffin and looking at them calmly, they were so shocked that they forgot what to do next.
Zhang Qiling just glanced at the armor in their hands, raised his eyebrows and jumped directly into the hole.
"..."
"Hurry, hurry, put on this thing and keep up." Chengzi was the first to react. He casually put on the armor and became a test subject to see if this method was feasible.
He held his breath and stood by the pool. When he didn't see the blood mist rising, he bit his tongue happily and began to look for a way to get through.
Qin Yuchen slid all the way down the slope. As soon as he landed, the sticky feeling under his feet made him roll his eyes.
This is a brightly lit corridor. The bricks and stones are as white as jade. Every two meters there is a person-high, curved groove, in which a perpetual lamp is enshrined.
But this wax...isn't it too much?
The sticky substance he accidentally stepped on was wax that had not yet solidified.
On both sides of him, he could see lights that never went out.
“…” Qin Yuchen pulled out a dagger, scraped off some wax with the tip of the knife, and fanned it to let the smell drift towards him.
As soon as he smelled it, he wiped the dagger clean with his handkerchief and put it back into the sheath.
There was a noise coming from above the passage. Qin Yuchen listened for a few seconds and stepped back to make room.
"What about those people?"
Zhang Qiling's figure fell from above. Qin Yuchen watched it stand firm, patted the dust off his back, and asked.
"It's still up there." Zhang Qiling said.
He also took a good look at the corridor, his eyes falling on the eternal lamp beside him, "Corpse wax."
"Yeah." Tan Yuchen sneered.
"The owner of this tomb really likes to nourish the soul."
"Eternal life." Zhang Qiling lowered his eyes.
Qin Yuchen raised his eyebrows, chuckled, and found a random place to sit down. While resting, he also waited for those people to come down.
Zhang Qiling sat down next to him.
Soon, there was a clanging sound in the passage, which was the sound of iron plates and stones colliding.
"We're still sitting a little too close." Qin Yuchen leaned against Zhang Qiling and silently covered his ears.
Zhang Qiling nodded in agreement.
Chengzi, the first one to come down, sat down on the ground with a thud. His face was twisted in pain, and when he looked up, he met two pairs of eyes.
Nariko: "..."
Embarrassment and pain mixed together in an instant, and Chengzi's face turned from white to red, and then back to white.
Qin Yuchen blinked, looked at his colorful face for a few seconds, and reminded him: "They are coming down soon."
"!" Chengzi came to his senses and heard the sound. He rolled and crawled away from that place, not caring about his own butt at all.
Then, the three of them saw several other people coming down in the same posture.
Pengzi was the last one, and it ended with a "dong" sound, followed by a sound of strong inhalation and exhalation.
"I didn't expect there would be shows to watch in the tomb." Qin Yuchen's shoulders were shaking with laughter, and he whispered in Zhang Qiling's ear.
Zhang Qiling tilted his head, with a smile on his lips, and gently pinched Qin Yuchen's earlobe.
They had no intention of leaving.
Because those people were still breathing, Peng Zi was even still sitting there, without even taking off his armor.
We definitely can't move forward like this. We have to wait until they all recover.
