Chapter 176 Azure Dragon Totem
Su Ling observed the wall carefully. It shouldn't be hard to imagine the stone secret door. It is simply a necessary mechanism for the weird ancient tomb.

Generally speaking, if this mechanism is to survive for thousands of years, it must be fired with stones and mercury. The trigger of the firing device must be a flat plate. The walls are carved with inscriptions one by one. If there is a secret door, One of them must be movable, but this one must be located in a place that is very difficult to be noticed.

According to this idea, Su Ling leaned down and reached out to touch the position of the stone wall and the floor. The inscriptions carved on the stone wall were uneven, and the floor was also carefully polished, which showed the status of the owner of the tomb.Sure enough, a square connecting stone slab slightly to the right is very suspicious.When she pressed it, there was no response, but there were signs of looseness. When she pressed it again, there was still no response, so she became a little hairy. When she stood up, she kicked it, and now she heard a thud.

At that moment, Su Ling thought, no, it should be that all normal people with a bit of imagination think so, the wall will turn inward and take her to the next door, or the wall will open like a door.

So when the floor under her feet was suddenly empty, Su Ling was really unprepared and fell down.This kind of design is not called a secret door, it is obviously a trap, okay?The brains of the people who designed this ancient tomb are also big enough.

But the whole person had already fallen, and Su Ling yelled inwardly that she might have to stop eating. I don't know what was underneath, maybe a few bone-destroying steel knives, or sharpened bamboo knots.

In the blink of an eye, before Su Ling could finish thinking, she sat down on the floor. Before she had time to rejoice that she didn't fall to her death, or that she didn't die under the sword, the candlestick in her hand fell to the ground, and the lamp oil flowed all over the floor. The flames were extinguished immediately, and Su Ling suddenly fell into darkness.

It is very insecure for a person to be in the dark. In this case, the candlestick is as important as Su Ling's life. If there is no light, in the ancient tomb where there is no light source at all, it is a dead end.

She rushed over quickly, trying to get the candle back. She remembered clearly the position where the candlestick rolled down. First, she touched the warm wax oil, and the candlestick should be right in front of her. I touched a cold hand...
After trembling for three seconds, Su Ling yelled, and subconsciously withdrew his hand. It is the most annoying thing to touch something that he cannot explain in the dark, and the moment he touched that hand, Su Ling felt this The owner of the hand must have died, because the cold and swollen skin could not feel a trace of life.

Su Ling suddenly remembered that she still had some fire folders snatched from Xiong Jieba on her body, and hurriedly opened one. With the light of the fire, she finally saw clearly that there was really a corpse lying there.

There was a big wound on his stomach, surrounded by many corpses, each of which was the size of her palm, and apparently the pincers were not as sharp as those in the corpses in the rainy river cave, black and blue in color The corpses gnawed on the man's carrion, shaking their heads from time to time, and even some small corpses crawled out of their mouths and eye holes.

Su Ling's stomach was churning, and she just felt sick. This person had been dead for about three or four days, and he must have been another victim of the previous tomb-robbing team. Thinking of this, Su Ling realized that he was also responsible for discovering this mechanism. , that’s why he died here?
That was a big deal, she was busy lighting the candles by the light of the dying fire, the tallow candles were really not covered, but the effect was different, after being soaked in water and dropped from high altitude, they were still durable.

With the light, Su Ling felt a little more at ease and looked around. There was nothing in this place. It was very simple. It was a two-foot-square tomb, surrounded by stone walls made of irregular stones. There are many vents on the wall, which are so dark that I don’t know where they lead. From time to time, some cool breeze blows from those holes.

Su Ling glanced at the corpse lying on the ground with a ferocious death look, and raised her eyebrows. What did she want to do?Haha, this female thief has a personality that even a dead person can take advantage of.

So she immediately checked the body, it was a middle-aged man, about 40 years old, his abdomen was torn, and it looked like a fatal injury.He was wearing a black training suit with bulging pockets.Su Ling used to drive away the corpses who were eating shit around the wound, and casually reached into the pocket of the man's clothes, and took out a money bag. After weighing it, it should be three or four taels of silver.

It is said that ill-gotten wealth can't be made, but Su Ling doesn't care. For her current financial situation, it's best to get as much money as she can.

There was also a sketchy diagram of an ancient tomb in her pocket, similar to the one in her hand, as well as two daggers and a few sticks of fire.These are all standing weapons, but an interesting thing was found inside.

——A piece of paper with a blue dragon hovering on it.

The green dragon opened its teeth and claws, soaring in the clouds, with a beard on the corner of its mouth, beads under its forehead, round eyes, and a menacing aura, as if it could really rise from the clouds on paper.

Su Ling frowned and looked at the paper, but couldn't find anything to study, so he put these "trophies" into his pocket, planning to study it after going out.

The architectural style here is very similar to the royal nobles in ancient times, and it is a bit like an escape route. Su Ling thinks that it is unlikely that someone will repair the tomb on top of other people's cemetery. This may be the escape route left by the craftsmen who made the tomb. .

In ancient times, if you participated in the construction of noble tombs, you would be sentenced to death. Once the tombs were built, you would either be poisoned or buried alive with the corpses. However, the wisdom of the ancient working people cannot be ignored. Craftsmen will leave a secret passage for themselves in order to escape.

She took a candle to sweep it away, and she saw a small narrow door on one side of the wall, but the door was still a certain height from the ground, and there was a wooden ladder underneath, which was almost rotten, no matter how lightly she stepped on it. It is also impossible not to fall.

Su Ling squinted his eyes to measure and estimated the height. Thanks to the training in Spirit Village, this distance is acceptable, and the tallest plum blossom pile in the training ground is no more than this.

At this moment, Su Ling suddenly caught a big face protruding from the dark corridor. When she saw it, she couldn't help being overjoyed, and shouted: "Bajie! I'm here, how did you find me?!"

Xiong Jieba was also taken aback, squinted his eyes to make sure it was Su Ling, and then corrected him, "I happened to pass by, and I didn't come here specifically to find you."

Su Ling: "You can go."

Xiong Jieba was deflated and a little embarrassed, but the joy on his face gradually disappeared in the next second, replaced by surprise, as if he saw something terrifying, he slipped and almost fell off the corridor.
