Soon the four of them arrived in front of the main hall of the ancient tomb. Chen Ze raised his hand to signal everyone to stop moving forward.
There was nothing in the hall at this time, except for a few skeletons lying there.
Chen Ze ignored the skeletons and walked straight forward, and then found three candles in the corner.
And it looked like it was lit with a fire stick, because Chen Ze found that the surrounding area of the candle had been burned black.
Chen Ze took out a lighter, tentatively approached the candles, and then lightly lit the candles.
Chen Ze placed them on the stone platform next to him, waiting for them to regain their vitality. However, Chen Ze was surprised that all three candles were extinguished.
At this moment, Chen Ze suddenly remembered something. When they climbed out from the bottom of the coffin, they also saw a few candles, but the candles had been extinguished by then.
Chen Ze quickly turned around and ran towards the other three candles. When he found that the other three candles were still out, Chen Ze turned around and returned to the hall again.
Chen Ze took out the lighter and prepared to light the remaining candles, but found that these candles could not be lit at all.
“What should we do?” Everyone looked at Chen Ze. After all, Chen Ze was the leader.
"Don't panic, there must be nothing wrong with the candle. This may be due to the formation. Look at where the candle is." Chen Ze pointed at the painting in the center of the hall.
"Huh? Why is this?" Fatty exclaimed.
Chen Ze said with a smile: "That should be it. The background of that mural is the entire hall, and the candles are placed there, which makes it look special."
"Then what should we do now?" Fatty asked.
“Let’s destroy that picture first. Since the candle can’t light, we must need something else.” Chen Ze suggested.
Chen Ze led the team and continued deeper into the hall, and asked the fat man to take out a strong flashlight and shine it around.
Everyone groped forward.
Finally, under the leadership of Chen Ze, everyone came to the end of the hall. The stone tablet at the end attracted everyone's attention.
Chen Ze took out a strong flashlight and shined it on the stone monument, only to discover that there was a small stone chamber hidden behind the stone monument.
Chen Ze quickly asked everyone to disperse and look for a passage.
Soon, everyone gathered in front of a huge bronze-colored thick stone door.
Chen Ze knocked on the bronze stone door, but it didn't move at all.
“This is a stone gate, it won’t be broken!” Wang Wenyun said firmly.
"I also agree that if it is Shimen, then we can definitely leave here." Chen Ze agreed.
"I think we can push it aside and see. Maybe this is the only way to leave." Chen Wenjin reminded.
"Okay, then push it away and try!" Chen Ze agreed.
Then Chen Ze and the other six people worked together to push open the bronze stone door.
Boom!
The bronze stone door moved slowly with a dull sound, finally revealing the situation behind the bronze stone door.
Behind the bronze stone door was a spacious secret room.
The furnishings in the secret room are very simple, with nothing else except some tables, chairs, benches, bookcases and the like.
In the middle of the secret room is a statue more than two meters high. The statue is lifelike and looks very realistic.
"Who is this? He looks so awesome." Chen Wenjin couldn't help but exclaimed, because she had no idea who the stone sculpture was, let alone why it existed in the ancient tomb, and Still in this confined space.
“I don’t know, but what is certain is that this statue is by no means simple.” Chen Ze said as he circled around the stone sculpture to check it out.
"Brother Chen, this stone sculpture is very strange. Look, it seems to be moving." The fat man pointed at the stone sculpture and said.
"I saw it too!" Fatty echoed.
Chen Wenjin came up to observe carefully, but the more he looked, the more confused he became.
Chen Ze circled back, then stared at the stone sculpture and said: "Its feet are on a coffin. This coffin should be the foothold of this stone sculpture.
"Eh? , this seems to be the case. "The fat man nodded in agreement.
"But why is it sitting on the coffin? Is it asleep?" The fat man wondered. Chen Ze shook his head, "This is unlikely, if it really fell asleep If it falls, the coffin lid will fall and crush it. There is no reason for it to stand on the coffin. ”
"Is it possible that there is a secret here, and that this stone sculpture is some kind of guard?" Chen Wenjin guessed.
Chen Ze: "No matter what it is, there is always a trace. I want to see what is inside."
"Then what do you want to do? Pry. Open it? I guess I can't pry it," the fat man said.
Chen Ze: "You have to try even if you can't pry it open. It's better than being caught without mercy."
"Let me help you!" The fat man responded positively when he heard that Chen Ze wanted to pry open the stone sculpture.
Although Fatty felt that such a rough method would damage the stone sculpture, after thinking about it, he felt that Chen Ze was right. It was better than just letting him go.
Fat man: "I want to come too."
"I want to come too!" Chen Wenjin raised her hands in agreement.
Everyone was discussing how to pry open the stone sculpture.
Chen Ze thought for a long time and then decided: "I have a bold idea. This stone sculpture may be the patron saint of this tomb. We must worship it first, so that we may be able to activate it!"
Chen Ze When Ze said this, everyone suddenly realized that Chen Ze's idea could be said to be unreasonable.
"I think you can give it a try." The fat man nodded. There was no other choice anyway. Instead of waiting to die, it was better to take a gamble.
Everyone agreed with Chen Ze’s idea.
So, everyone formed a circle.
Then he knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times devoutly according to Chen Ze's instructions. Then Chen Ze and other five people gathered around the stone sculpture and shouted together: "Please protect the stone statue for us to come out of the tomb safely."
The five people said in unison, and the stone sculpture was immediately confused.
Stone sculpture: "….."
"If you do this, the stone sculpture will be frightened. I think we should first find out why it is sitting on the coffin."
Just when everyone was confused, Chen Wenjin asked a question.
Chen Ze: "Let's step back first and let it recover slowly. Maybe this is the answer."
After hearing this, everyone stepped back a few steps, and then looked nervously at the huge stone sculpture in front of them.
“Dong——dong——”
The stone sculpture takes steps under the attention of everyone, and every step seems to be stepping on everyone’s heart, which is heart-wrenching.
“Boom! Boom!”
The stone sculpture took nine steps and stopped.
The stone sculpture puts its arms in front of its chest and lowers its head slightly, as if listening to everyone's prayers.
"Is it listening?" said the fat man.
"It's listening!" Chen Ze said with certainty. Although the stone sculpture didn't express anything, Chen Ze clearly felt its breath just now.
At this moment, the stone sculpture is trying hard to listen to everyone's prayers with its own spirit.
Finally, the stone sculpture raised its head and looked directly at Chen Ze and others.
"Get out of the way!" The moment the stone sculpture's head was raised, Chen Ze shouted.
Chen Ze's early warning caused everyone to retreat in time. A mass of black gas emerged from the forehead of the stone sculpture, then formed a skull and floated towards everyone.
Everyone took out weapons to resist, but the black energy was too strong and could not be dissipated.
The black mist quickly enveloped Chen Ze and others, and then quickly penetrated into Chen Ze and others. After a few seconds, Chen Ze and others lost consciousness and fell into a coma.
The stone sculpture also returned to its original state, and became the same look without sadness or joy. (End of this chapter)
