Chapter 634
Brass Key
"Hmm." Yanluo smiled and replied, then instructed Lu Zirui, "Call Awu over and have him take this thing into the stone chamber."
"Oh."
Lu Zirui agreed and quickly ran to the stone door that Yan Luoxiao had pointed out earlier.
Tian Siyao stayed behind to continue observing the painting.
After about half a cup of tea's time, Lu Zirui returned and smiled at Yanluo, saying, "Master, Awu said he has put the things into the stone coffin as you instructed."
"Okay, let's go take a look."
After saying this, Yama laughed and stepped over the stone tablet, heading towards the stone gate.
Because the tomb door was open, he stood in the middle of the tomb passage, looking around but saw nothing.
When he reached out and touched the stone door, it was ice-cold to the touch.
This was a temperature he hadn't felt when he came in earlier!
Thinking of this, he immediately withdrew his hand, stepped back behind the stone tablet, and said, "You all get out of the way!"
Upon hearing this, Tian Siyao quickly retreated behind the brothers.
The next instant, a crack suddenly appeared above the stone door.
In the blink of an eye, a boulder the size of a football rolled out from inside, crashing to the ground with a "bang," shattering the stone bricks on the ground.
Tian Siyao trembled with fright.
Although she had rarely been afraid since she transmigrated, she was still somewhat afraid at this moment.
After all, the commotion caused when that boulder rolled out was no joke!
Fortunately, the boulder stopped rolling and did not continue rolling.
But it still smashed the already dilapidated wall to pieces, and then slowly slid to one side.
After taking a closer look, Tian Siyao couldn't help but gasp, "That boulder must weigh several tons, right?"
Chen Ze frowned but did not answer.
Because he had just examined it, he found that the stone was covered with a layer of hard lime, which more than doubled its weight!
"Master, why aren't you saying anything?" Yan Xiaoxiao asked, puzzled, and walked straight towards the wall.
"what are you up to?"
"Check if there are any traps or mechanisms."
After answering, Yan Xiaoxiao squatted down and carefully examined the wall.
Seeing this, Tian Siyao was about to follow when she heard Chen Ze say, "We don't understand these mechanisms, so let's not go over there and cause trouble for our grand-disciple."
Tian Siyao then obediently shrank back.
She was somewhat afraid of dying!
Besides, the walls are already in such a terrible state that you can't see anything wrong with them!
Unable to figure it out, she simply gave up trying to figure it out.
Here.
After circling the wall once, Yan Xiaoxiao raised her hand and tapped it a few times. Then she said to Chen Ze, "The internal structure of that wall is very solid. Unless you can dismantle that boulder, it is impossible to open it from the outside."
"Then let's dismantle it by force." Chen Ze said, then leaped to the wall and punched it.
"Clang..."
Stone chips flew everywhere.
The stone wall is covered with cracks.
Yan Xiaoxiao frowned and asked, "Master, if there's only one wall, you can just chop it down with one stroke. Why waste your energy?"
Chen Ze remained silent and launched another fierce attack.
Only after the wall completely collapsed did he call out to Yan Xiaoxiao and Tian Siyao.
The three of them worked together to push the boulder that had fallen to the ground aside, and then Chen Ze successfully found a secret passage.
"This is the secret passage leading to the depths of the ancient tomb."
After saying that, he took the lead and stepped inside.
Tian Siyao and Yan Xiaoxiao exchanged a glance and quickly followed. In a short while, they arrived at a spacious stone chamber, filled with gold and silver jewels.
Yan Xiaoxiao looked around and muttered regretfully, "If it weren't for that huge rock blocking the way, I would have come in and taken the treasure long ago." Chen Ze chuckled and said, "Since it's yours, why should you..."
"Hmm, there are too many treasures here. I need to take them back one by one and count them before I can feel at ease."
Chen Ze was speechless.
Is his precious apprentice stupid?
She has already collected all twelve magical artifacts, does she still need to count them?
and.…..
She has collected so many things, there's no room left to store them all!
He sighed inwardly, shook his head, and said to Yan Xiaoxiao, "Why don't you tidy up this place first?"
"I understand, Master."
Having agreed, Yan Xiaoxiao picked up a short sword and began searching the stone chamber for something she could take.
the other side.
After Tian Siyao and Chen Ze stood at the stone gate, Chen Ze went straight to the main burial chamber of the stone chamber.
Tian Siyao stared nervously at his back. After noticing that he had found a circular groove on the stone bed, she quickly ran over and asked, "Grandpa, did you find the key?"
Chen Ze hesitated for two seconds, then held out his hand to her and said, "Let me see."
Tian Siyao immediately handed over the box.
Chen Ze opened the box and found that inside was indeed a key, and a brass key inlaid with gemstones.
Tian Siyao leaned closer, looking at the gemstones embedded in the key, and said with deep emotion, "The quality of these gemstones is even higher than ours. Even if this key can't open the random door in the main tomb chamber, it can definitely open the doors to other rooms."
Chen Ze remained silent.
He bought the key with his own money.
He would keep any key that had any value, just in case.
After all, no one can guarantee that they will always be safe.
After a short while, he put the key into a specially made box and handed it to Yan Xiaoxiao for safekeeping.
Tian Siyao asked from the side, "What room can this key open?"
Chen Ze frowned and said, "I don't know yet."
"what?"
"I'll tell you after I go back and look through the files and figure out which rooms this key can open."
"Oh."
After giving a light reply, Tian Siyao asked, "Grandpa, where are we staying tonight? The air in here isn't circulating, and it smells pretty bad."
Chen Ze glanced at her with a hint of disdain. "You brat, you don't know what your senior brother does, so you're doubting my medical skills, aren't you?"
Tian Siyao pursed her lips and did not refute.
Although her senior brother Yan Xiaoxiao is immune to all poisons.
But she was worried that her senior brother's health wouldn't be able to handle it!
Chen Ze didn't expect her to admit it. He took out his phone and dialed Feng Liulang's number. "Sisi said there's a hotel nearby. You should come over as soon as possible. I've found a way out."
Feng Liulang hummed in agreement and hung up the phone.
Half a minute later, after taking Tian Sisi, Lu Zirui, and Yan Luoqian to the hotel Chen Ze had mentioned, he directly asked, "Grandmaster, are you sure that place is the entrance to the deepest part of that tomb?"
Chen Ze nodded.
Feng Liulang added, "If it is the entrance to that tomb, then after so long, the treasures inside must have been completely looted, right?"
"What do you mean by that?" Chen Ze narrowed his eyes suspiciously. Before the owner of that tomb was buried, there should still be a lot of valuable things left inside.
“My wife said that the tomb was filled with a lot of gold and silver treasures, but it was missing precious jade.”
"Oh? That's what she said?"
Chen Ze's expression instantly turned extremely serious.
When he first entered that tomb, he witnessed the tomb owner looting all the treasures before his death.
Logically, there should be jade in the tomb of the deceased's occupant. (End of Chapter)
