This immortal was clearly ordinary, yet he was unusually confident.
Chapter 80 Secret Channel
The zombie lion is gone, and a new path has appeared, but everyone is worried about which of these two paths to choose.
If we take the left path, that zombie lion has already run in, and who knows if we'll run into it later.
But if we take the right path, judging from the tiger's claw that just reached out, it's probably not a friendly fry either!
I'm caught between a lion on my left and a tiger on my right—I'm in a real dilemma!
"Brother Zheng, what do you think?" Wu Qiling suddenly asked.
How can I possibly see this? I've hated making choices since I was a child!
Of course, fill-in-the-blank and short-answer questions are even more annoying.
Although Zheng Zhuang was inwardly complaining, he couldn't actually say it.
He didn't answer immediately, but instead, like Wu Qiling had done before, he slowly circled the two stone coffins.
Finally, he stood between the two stone coffins and slowly began to speak:
"These two stone coffins represent yin and yang, and the so-called yin and yang emphasizes the concept of 'balance.' Therefore, it doesn't matter which way you go; they will ultimately lead to the same place. It's just that the experiences along the way will be different."
Everyone nodded thoughtfully. Although what he said was essentially meaningless, they couldn't find any reason to refute it.
"In that case, let's just choose one side!" Mo Gang suggested.
Since he and Wu Qiling had agreed to cooperate, there was no reason for them to separate.
No one objected to the suggestion, since there was strength in numbers and people could support each other.
Because the zombie lion was already injured, and the unknown was even more frightening, after discussion, everyone unanimously decided to take the left-hand path.
"Why don't you go down and take a look first!" Old Cai appeared behind the hunchbacked man at some point and said with a sinister smile.
"me……"
"You don't want to? Do you want me to throw you again?"
"I...I can do it myself."
The hunchbacked man, on the verge of tears, reluctantly climbed into the stone coffin, and then, under Old Cai's threatening gaze, walked step by step into the dark passage.
The hunchbacked man, carrying a tinderbox, carefully descended about ten steps. Seeing no movement from the stiff lion, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, he noticed some faint points of light flickering ahead. Unable to suppress his curiosity, he stepped forward, and what he saw left him speechless with astonishment.
The ground was covered with gold and silver jewels, and each of the points of light was actually a luminous pearl.
The hunchbacked man struggled to suppress his excitement and bent down to pick it up without saying a word.
"Hey, what's going on down there?"
"No...it's okay!"
Hearing someone calling out from above, the hunchbacked man felt a pang of regret. He quickly picked up a few more seeds before reluctantly getting up to reply.
Upon learning that there was nothing unusual below, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Wu Qiling gave a wink to one of his subordinates, who quickly jumped down.
As soon as the man passed through the secret passage, he saw the jewels by the light of his tinderbox and immediately roared:
"Honey, come down quickly, there are so many treasures!"
Upon hearing that there was treasure, the people outside did not hesitate any longer and rushed into the stone coffin.
Wu Qiling shook his head, not in a hurry to follow them in, but unexpectedly, after about half of the people had entered, the secret passage suddenly closed with a "bang".
This left the remaining people dumbfounded. They hurriedly swung their weapons and smashed the ground with all their might, but found that they couldn't break it no matter what they did, and there was no sound coming from below.
"Damn it, what kind of broken rock is this? It's so hard!"
"Master, it's sealed off, what do we do?"
"..."
With their babies right in front of them, many people were so angry that they cursed and regretted not running faster.
Wu Qiling glanced at the remaining people and found that most of them were his own men and Mo Gang's men. He sighed helplessly and pointed to the stone coffin on the right, saying:
"Brother Mo, we have no choice but to go this way now. If the two sides are indeed connected, we can meet up with them then."
"That's all we can do! We can only hope they have good fortune. When we go down there later, we'll be careful not to get this area sealed off too," Mo Gang said.
Zheng Zhuang looked around and noticed that two cultivators had also gone in. Although the two were not highly skilled, he figured that such a trap should be no problem for them, so he didn't want to get involved.
Once the plan was decided, everyone jumped into the stone coffin on the right in turn, while the last person to enter carried a few stones to place on the secret passage.
As Zheng Zhuang walked through the secret passage, someone below had already lit the braziers on the wall, revealing the entire tomb chamber.
This tomb chamber is slightly smaller than the one above, but it is quite spacious overall, so even dozens of people inside do not feel crowded.
The walls are carved with tigers in various poses, and in the center there are two stone coffins, which are scattered with various gold and silver jewels.
Fortunately, with Wu Qiling and Mo Gang in charge, everyone remained restrained and did not fight over it.
As the last person passed through the secret passage, a "click" sound suddenly rang out, and the steps of the passage abruptly rose, sealing the entrance tightly once again.
"This……"
The sudden turn of events caused a commotion, and the excitement brought by the gold and silver treasures scattered all over the ground was somewhat diminished. After all, treasures are good, but they have to be able to be taken out of the country.
"Don't panic, there must be another exit. Don't touch anything on the ground," Wu Qiling reassured him.
He circled the two stone coffins again and found that they were exactly the same as before.
"Brother Wu, could this be the same as before?" Mo Gang asked.
Wu Qiling knew that Mo Gang didn't mean the method to open the stone coffin, but rather that if two more paths appeared, they might have to split up again.
"Let's try opening it first; there's no other way right now."
As before, Wu Qiling walked between the two stone coffins again and pressed his hands against the side walls of the coffins.
This time, Zheng Zhuang finally saw it clearly: there was an inconspicuous protrusion on the side wall of each of the two stone coffins. Wu Qiling exerted force at almost the same time and successfully activated the mechanism.
As expected, both stone coffins trembled simultaneously, and then the coffin lids slid to the sides on their own, revealing two more hidden passages inside the coffins, only slightly narrower than before.
"Let's divide the things on the ground equally!" Wu Qiling said slowly, withdrawing his hands.
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly bent down to pick it up. Once they had the treasure in their hands, they felt much more at ease, and their panic subsided considerably.
“Brother Wu, this can’t go on. If this happens a few more times, we’ll be fighting alone.” Mo Gang sighed.
Zheng Zhuang also thought the design was a bit bizarre. Did the tomb owner want to scatter everyone and then defeat them one by one?
"What's there to be afraid of? What's the point of carrying around these burdens?"
Old Cai glanced at everyone, curled his lip in disdain, and jumped into a stone coffin first, because he sensed an unusual aura below.
Ziying and his sister, along with several other cultivators, also sensed it and hurriedly followed them inside.
Seeing Elder Cai leave, Mo Gang hesitated for a moment, because this was an opportunity for him to get rid of Elder Cai, but if the zombie lion from before reappeared, they might not be able to withstand it.
In the end, he gave Wu Qiling an apologetic look, but still led his men inside.
Seeing that the secret passage was sealed off again, Wu Qiling sighed and turned to Zheng Zhuang, saying:
"Brother Zheng, it seems we have no choice but to travel together!"
Zheng Zhuang nodded, then entered another secret passage with the rest of the group...
