Wang Jinpeng looked a little anxious and asked hurriedly: "Brother Lin, are you throwing stones for fun?"

Liu Jingfeng said: "Jin Peng, stop joking at this time."

"Oh." Wang Jinpeng muttered. He was frightened just now, and now he is just looking for something to satisfy his attention.

He didn't notice anything unusual about the stone's voice, but other than Lin Ran, someone in the team noticed something was wrong.

"Isn't there a marble road across the way?" A Ming asked.

"Well, not only that, it's hollow underneath." After Lin Ran finished speaking, he came to the pavilion that had just been blown up, squatted down and shined a flashlight on the opposite side, observing carefully.

Lin Ran then picked up a few more stones from the ground and threw them at different locations.

"when."

"when."

"Snapped."

Different locations would indeed make different sounds, but Lin Ran felt that this was not enough to judge whether it was a safe place to stay.

"By the way, did any of you bring copper coins just now?" Lin Ran recalled that there were two boxes of copper coins buried with him in the tomb outside. Some of them should be carrying such small things.

Huang Hao responded immediately, took out ten copper coins from his pocket and handed them to Lin Ran.

After Lin Ran got the copper coin, he threw it to the opposite side in the same way.

This time the sound of metal colliding became more obvious.

"Ding, ding, ding."

Three crisp sounds.

But compared to the fact that the bridge was hollow, what shocked Lin Ran even more was that the copper coins he threw over glowed with a burst of blue light after rubbing against the ground.

This is probably not a bridge made of bronze, but more like phosphorus stone.

As long as there is a little temperature, it will burn.

If they jumped over directly, they would probably fall to the ground and their whole bodies would be set on fire.

No wonder the connected pavilions should be blown up.

Although there is water next to it, you can jump into the water even if your body is on fire.

But Lin Ran vaguely felt that the real danger might be hidden under the pool.

Lin Ran originally wanted to find a few large stones and throw them over to use as a stepping stone, and then step on them to the other side.

However, the stones of the pavilion that was blown up just now have been torn into pieces and scattered, so it may not be easy to stand.

"How about I give it a try?" Wang Jinpeng felt that Lin Ran was thinking too much, and it was probably just designed to scare them.

Lin Ran felt that this possibility was very small, "Let's look for other places."

There is a river between the front hall and the middle hall. It is dug down to a depth of about three meters, but the water inside is only about half a meter high.

If Lin Ran hadn't reminded them, they would have gone to the other side directly through the water.

Although Wang Jinpeng was willing to risk his life to find out, Lin Ran did not want him to take risks.

I wanted to find a few stones nearby and throw them into the water as a stepping stone, but I couldn't find any stones to stand on, whether it was the pavilion that had just been exploded or the gravel on the ground.

The nave is right in front of us. Do we have to give up?

Lin Ran racked his brains. Judging from the current situation, there is probably no way to cross the river without taking risks.

At this time, Liu Jingfeng sighed and said, "Brother Lin, how about we throw the stone into the river to see if there are any traps?"

This was an idea. Lin Ran was about to try it, but suddenly he remembered something.

No corpses of the tomb robbers were seen here. If Zhou Tian and his men did not fall here, it means that they should have a way to reach the other side. It means that they must have used a special method to cross this road. river.

Lin Ran frowned and thought hard, then turned back to the entrance.

Looking forward from here, the first thing you see is a statue of a woman and a child, looking back with horror on their faces and running forward.

Following their eyes, Lin Ran noticed this time that their eyes were not on the pavilion just now, but on an arch bridge next to the pavilion.

Lin Ran shone a flashlight on it, and everything was blurry.

So he switched to using a torch. Only then did he notice that there was a huge crack underneath the bridge, which looked like a hole.

Moreover, the opening and closing method of this crack is extremely unnatural, as if someone had broken it open with brute force.

Lin Ran focused on the opening under the bridge. There was a stone path here, just right for a place to stay.

When he arrived at the river, Lin Ran quickly put out the torch, fearing that the high temperature would ignite the phosphorus on the other side.

Turning on the flashlight, Lin Ran turned his gaze to the cave under the bridge.

At first glance, it does look a bit like a crack carved with a shovel.

But when you get closer and look closely, it is extremely smooth. The cracks in this stone are extremely smooth, and it turns out to be purely natural.

Shining a flashlight into it, you can see the bottom at a glance.

Standing at the entrance of the cave, you can vaguely hear the sound of rumbling water underneath.

Below is an underground river.

Lin Ran felt that the possibility of this being an emperor's tomb became greater. There were mountains and rivers. He had not studied the mountain topography here, but from this point of view, it was extremely likely that this place was a geomantic treasure.

A tomb, the mountains are veins and the water is dragons.

There is an underground river inside the cave. From the sound of water flowing, it should be a big river. It is definitely not a burial place that ordinary people can have.

Lin Ran took a flashlight and shone it around the ground and found a rope.

The rope stretched all the way and was tied under the bridge.

The explosion just now did not break the rope, and the rope was fixed in a very hidden position. It was under the bridge, and you couldn't find it if you didn't look for it.

"Come here." Lin Ran immediately called his companions over after seeing the rope.

Wang Jinpeng was extremely happy when he saw the rope. He spit on his hand twice, rubbed it, and planned to climb down the rope.

Xu Ning put her hand on his shoulder and said, "Jin Peng, leave it to me to climb the wall."

After saying that, he took the rope from Wang Jinpeng's hand and pulled it hard twice to feel how tight the rope was.

A strong reaction force came. As a mountaineering expert, Xu Ning could feel that the rope was firmly fixed. It was obviously done by a professional.

"It should be Zhou Tian and the others who stayed behind," Lin Ran said.

The archaeological team may find this cave entrance, but they still lack rock climbing experts, and they are unlikely to risk climbing down from it. At most, they can record the situation here and go back to find the elites of the police force to assist in the investigation.

However, all this scheduling work cannot be completed in a day or two. Lin Ran only left for less than two days, and the archaeological team disappeared. The possibility that they would take the initiative to go down was very small.

Xu Ning stopped talking and grabbed the rope and said to Wang Jinpeng: "Jinpeng, please help me pull it a little, don't pull it directly, you stand behind the rock."
