After finding the entrance, Liang Tianxin was the first one to go in. After his figure disappeared, Qiao Sigui pointed at the entrance, signaling me and Yao Yao to go in.
Yao Yao's complexion was a little pale. I had the experience of the Yinshang Royal Tomb, so I wasn't afraid of this cave. I nodded and reached out to hold Yao Yao. Imitating Liang Tianxin's actions, we jumped into the cave.
With my current cultivation base, although I didn't have the flying ability of a Heavenly Master, I wouldn't fall to my death even if I jumped a hundred meters.
In fact, this cave only looked deep on the surface. After jumping in, we landed four to five meters before our feet touched the ground.
After stabilizing my footing, I let go of Yao Yao and looked ahead.
The cave was surrounded by mud, and there was only a narrow passage in front of us that could fit one person. On both sides of the passage, there were obvious traces of human excavation. Moreover, it didn't look old. It was most likely Liang Tianxin and Qiao Sigui's work.
While I was observing, I suddenly felt some movement above us. I hurried to pull Yao Yao away.
As soon as we dodged, Qiao Sigui descended from the sky.
After he landed, Liang Tianxin moved closer to him. The two of them cast a spell to move the heavy Chiyou statue above us back to its original position, completely covering the entrance.
After that, Liang Tianxin pointed at the passage in front of us and took the lead. I followed him with Yao Yao, while Qiao Sigui was responsible for bringing up the rear.
We walked along the narrow passage. Since we didn't bring any lighting equipment, it was extremely dark, and the ground under our feet was a little uneven. For Liang Tianxin, Old Qiao, and me, it wasn't a problem. However, Yao Yao's cultivation base was still low, so she stumbled along the way. However, with my careful care, nothing happened.
The terrain in the passage was uneven, but overall, it extended downward. After walking for around two kilometers, we finally saw a glimmer of light in front of us.
I was surprised. There was light in front of us. Could it be that the end of this passage was above ground?
However, after thinking about it, I eliminated this possibility.
It was nighttime outside, so if we went outside, there wouldn't be any light.
Moreover, we had been walking all the way down, so we should be deep underground.
I was puzzled, but I didn't ask and continued to follow Liang Tianxin.
After walking a few hundred steps, the light in front of me became clearer. I could vaguely see that the light at the end of the tunnel wasn't natural light, but a dim yellow light. It should be the lighting equipment that Liang Tianxin and the others had brought in beforehand.
It was just as I had expected. After following Liang Tianxin out of the tunnel, we entered a huge underground cave. There were two huge lamps on both sides of the entrance, one on the left and one on the right. They illuminated the entire cave as if it was daytime.
These two lamps were electrically powered. We couldn't connect wires here, so we couldn't light here all the time.
It seemed that Liang Tianxin had come earlier today because he had brought batteries and other things with him. He had come in first to turn on the two lights.
However, it it was a Heavenly Heavenly Master, he, it, it wasn't something. with to. with. he, it, and, it, it, it. with.
But thinking about it, with his skills as a Celestial Master, it wouldn't be difficult for him to do this.
I lifted my eyes to look at the rock wall that was illuminated by the searchlight. The rock wall was around ten meters high, and it was covered with jagged rocks of strange shapes. However, it was very dry. There was no moss on it, nor were there any traces of man-made excavation. It should have been naturally formed. However, the color of the rocks was a little strange. I wasn't sure if it was the effect of the searchlight or the color of the rocks themselves. The entire rock wall was dark red, and it looked like solidified blood. It carried an inexplicable, murderous aura that made people feel fear.
However, after observing for a long time, I didn't see any cave or passage on this rock wall. I felt strange. Was the so-called Chiyou's Shoulder Mound a cave like this?
While I was puzzled, Liang Tianxin and Qiao Sigui walked over. Each of them carried a lamp and moved the light from the wall we were facing to the wall on the left.
As the light moved, my eyes also moved. This time, my eyes widened.
The rock wall on the left side of the cave … No, it wasn't a rock wall. On the left side of the cave, there was not a single rock. There were only two giant doors standing there. The ten-meter-tall doors were engraved with many complicated patterns. When I looked at them carefully, I couldn't see any pattern. However, when I looked at them, it looked like a headless giant standing there. It held a weapon that looked like a battle axe in one hand and something that looked like a teapot in the other.
It looked like it was fighting against something invisible, and its body was surrounded by murderous aura.
Besides the giant drawing, the color of the two giant doors was also very strange. The previous rock wall looked dark red, but these two giant doors were pure bright red. It was as if they had been soaked in blood. Even the giant on the door looked like it was bathed in blood. It looked savage and bloody.
When Yaoyao and I first saw it, we were shocked by the giant doors. We stood there for a long time without moving.
It was obvious that Liang Tianxin and Qiao Sigui had seen these giant doors before. They didn't find it strange and just glanced at it. Then, they walked to the side of the giant doors and rubbed them a few times. Afterward, they called me over.
As I walked to the front of the door, I could feel how majestic and awe-inspiring the giant doors were. I extended my hand and touched the door. It was cold to the touch. The giant doors seemed to be made of bronze.
Since this was the Chiyou's Tomb, these two giant doors were naturally ancient objects. In terms of size, they were much larger than the Queen Mother Wu Cauldron from the Shang Dynasty. Even the patterns on them were very exquisite. If news of this were to spread, history would be overturned.
While my mind was in a mess, Liang Tianxin suddenly pointed at the top of the giant door and said to me, "Raise your head and look up. In the middle of the two doors, where the giant's heart is engraved, there is a groove.
Later, the two of us will fly up with you. You will hold the Qingzhou Cauldron and place it in the groove. Then, the door will open.
Do you understand? "
I nodded and raised my head to look in the direction that Liang Tianxin had pointed. Sure enough, I saw an inconspicuous groove in the giant's heart. It was hidden among the complicated patterns. If I didn't look carefully, I wouldn't be able to see it.
After confirming with me, Liang Tianxin and Qiao Sigui extended their hands, each holding one of my armpits, and soared into the air, bringing me to face the notch.
I raised my head to take a look. The groove was only the size of a palm, but it was very deep. It looked like it led to the inside of the giant doors.
However, the inside of the giant doors also seemed to be dark. I stared at it carefully, but even with my eyesight, I couldn't see anything.
I didn't dare to delay any longer and took out the Qingzhou Cauldron. Just as I was about to place it in the groove, Liang Tianxin suddenly said, "Something's wrong!"
When he suddenly spoke, I immediately stopped. I didn't hurry to place the Qingzhou Cauldron, but turned to look at him.
Qiao Sigui also asked him curiously, "What's wrong?"
Liang Tianxin reached into the groove and touched it. His expression became increasingly unsightly. He pointed at the groove and said, "When we left here the last time, I placed a strand of cat hair in this groove. It's gone now."
"Cat hair?"
Qiao Sigui was stunned for a moment, then chuckled. "Cat hair is extremely thin and belongs to the Yin attribute. If it was placed here, even with our cultivation, it wouldn't be easy to detect. Old Ghost, you're really meticulous."
After saying that, he looked at Liang Tianxin thoughtfully.
Qiao Sigui seemed to be implying something, and I immediately understood. This place was discovered by the two of them. Liang Tianxin had secretly set up a small detection mechanism, but he didn't tell Qiao Sigui. It was obvious that he was wary of Qiao Sigui, afraid that he would come here alone to open the giant door without his knowledge.
Qiao Sigui obviously understood this, which was why he was being sarcastic.
After mocking him, Qiao Sigui also knew his priorities and didn't say anything else. Instead, he said, "It's been more than a year since we left. It's inevitable that there will be airflow in such a big cave. It's not strange that the cat hair was blown away."
Liang Tianxin shook his head, his tone becoming more and more cautious.
"This cave doesn't communicate with the outside world, so it's impossible for there to be wind.
Moreover, when I came to check in the afternoon, I purposely came up to take a look, and the cat hair was still there.
It's been more than a year, and the cat hair hasn't been blown away. It's only been a few hours since the afternoon. How could the cat hair be blown away by the wind? "
