Chapter 9, Underground Tomb

At this moment, Dongjing slowly walked down, her powerful flashlight illuminating the stone wall. I carefully leaned over to take a closer look.

I was lying on the side watching and saw that my uncle was in danger, so I hurriedly reached out to pull him.

I am extremely anxious, and my mind has already rehearsed how we will die

Although the house is filled with a lot of garbage, it is also in a complete mess

I began to scrutinize this secret room, following the beam of the flashlight.

I was unable to control myself and was directly pulled down by him

Suddenly, something sprang out, and I stumbled backward, colliding with the wall behind me

I bit down on the flashlight and began to search for the mechanism

After all, coming here is not entirely of my own volition. Although I am tempted by money and do not wish to waste a good opportunity to earn, I must also have a life to spend the money I earn

You rascal! Why aren't you getting up quickly?

He walked forward, and we followed suit.

As the uncle mentioned, this is a secret room

Uncle Biao changed his usual carefree demeanor, adopting a serious expression, and he still looked somewhat handsome.

If the tiles are closed, how will we go back later

A person lives for only a few decades in their lifetime, so there is no need to prematurely deplete one's own life

"Dong Jing, you may go out first. As long as you go out, pressing the button on the wall will open it."

What should I do about this

It is evident that the sound from the floor is clearly not solid

In a few swift movements, I jumped onto the steps and reached out to grab the floor tile

I appear somewhat discouraged, frowning, and dressed in coarse attire

Before I could catch my breath, the stone wall behind us suddenly moved

I took two steps and noticed that my uncle did not keep up, so I turned around to look at him

With this thought in mind, I ran back

Not to mention whether we can stay here for ten to fifteen days and then starve to death, the greatest possibility is that we will suffocate to death

After walking a short distance, a wooden box resembling a coffin suddenly appeared before me

"We can't even find the way out now, how are we supposed to deal with this coffin?" I expressed a hint of complaint.

A shiver ran through my heart

Only when my uncle came to help could I barely manage to move the tiles at a slower pace

This secret room is particularly strange, with paths on both the left and right sides, while in the middle there is a large pit, and further ahead there is a straight path.

However, just as Dongjing reached the bottom, the tiles above our heads were closing.

The tiles began to slowly shift aside, revealing a staircase

This is an underground tomb

"Could you please be quiet!" Dong Jing could no longer hold back and shouted once more, and I dared not say anything further as we continued on our way

"Let us leave," I said, my voice trembling, feeling somewhat unwell staying here: "It feels rather inappropriate to have unexpectedly arrived at someone else's graveyard."

Upon her remark, my face instantly flushed with embarrassment

Oh no

This house has been uninhabited for many years, resulting in a complete mess throughout the entire property, not to mention the lack of water and electricity

I was stopped by my uncle's words, and I do not know where to begin searching.

After the stone wall was opened, we found ourselves in a large secret chamber

At that moment, the mechanism was activated

This secret chamber is not deep, and we soon reached the bottom

There is text above, but I cannot see it clearly

However, this wooden box is different from an ordinary coffin

Do not proceed forward just yet, this place is somewhat eerie. It appears to be an ancient tomb, and it resembles a tomb of the type found in the central region.

After I lay on the ground, I was completely dazed

But it seems that I have twisted my waist, and it hurts particularly when I move.

There is no need to search any further; this cannot be obtained with a shovel. It is likely that there is a secret chamber underground, and we need to find a mechanism within this house in order to have a chance to open the secret chamber

But for some reason, suddenly, the speed at which the tiles are joined together has increased

Both my cousin and I, two strong men, were unable to hold on any longer. Upon seeing this, Dong Jing hurriedly quickened her pace

Uncle Biao went down first, and after taking just a couple of steps, he missed his footing and slid down completely

We saw a hole opened in the floor, and we were all very curious

Dong Jing turned around to look at me, her gaze sharp: "If you want to leave, then go. No one is keeping you here."

However, there is no way out, and I cannot find the way to leave, so I can only follow them forward

On top of the wooden box, there is a large white paper flower that appears to be quite old

Just as she was about to go out, the floor tiles were completely stitched together

"Look around and see if there are any shovels nearby." I stood up and began to search everywhere

At this moment, Dong Jing did not hold it against me and directly took a couple of steps up the stairs

The words of my uncle left me momentarily stunned, and I furrowed my brow slightly

Organization

The agency is certainly located in some obscure corner that no one knows about, and with such a large house, it will take some time to find it

In front of us, there is something resembling a stone wall blocking our way

However, when my uncle's hand grasped mine, I felt a powerful force pulling me down as well

She held a powerful flashlight in her hand, and wherever she passed, there would be a strong light

As Dongjing descended, the light source grew increasingly brighter, and the text before her began to come into focus

Uncle Biao's expression was somewhat tense as he took Dongjing's flashlight to look around

However, it is still impossible to prevent the grouting of the tiles

We must find a way to get this coffin out

double mechanism

I was drenched in cold sweat all over my body, and fine beads of sweat were also forming on my forehead, which naturally affected the gentleness of my tone when speaking

As she turned around, she muttered, "A big man is always as fearful as a dog."

Neither Dongjing nor I dared to run around recklessly, as our uncle was among us, possessing a higher level of cultivation, so we all followed behind him

Uncle Biao squatted down to take a look and immediately asked Dongjing and me to stop

I walked forward with my head down when suddenly a rustling sound reached my ears, a sound that made my scalp tingle

Indeed, as the uncle mentioned, this terrain particularly resembles the character '中'.

The voice of my uncle's complaints echoed in my ears, prompting me to slowly rise to my feet

However, the floor tiles are simply too heavy; I cannot move them by myself at all

Something on the wall seemed to protrude, directly hitting my back, causing such pain that tears came to my eyes

What does this mean

However, there is simply no shovel

Dong Jing is indeed enthusiastic, having already searched everywhere in the living room

It might just be a storage room, with no way out.

The wooden box is merely closed, which proves that there must be a corpse lying inside

Fortunately, my uncle had a cushion under me; otherwise, I would have been injured.

I have also been holding in a lot of anger. After finishing this task, if I continue to follow my cousin's uncle, I will take my cousin's uncle's surname.

As long as the floor tiles are closed, the stone wall will open
