The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

"The problem lies in the relief sculpture; the mechanism is most likely there."

"I wanted to say it before, but I just didn't have the chance."

"Relief?"

Zhang Qishan immediately perked up and ran to the center of the stone platform.

Qi Tiezui followed Zhang Qishan and pointed at the relief on the stone platform, saying, "The four directions of heaven, east, west, south, and north, it's normal to have these in the tomb."

"However, the Qilin is of the same status as the Four Divine Beasts. It would be against the rules to place the Qilin in the center of the four."

"A master like Qing Wuzi would never commit such a taboo; this might be a way out!"

Chapter 216 is fake!

"The Qilin...a path to survival..."

After muttering to himself, Zhang Qishan actually drew a dagger from his waist and made a cut in his palm.

Then he let the blood flow from his hands and drip onto the relief.

This scene made Fang Yun's heart skip a beat.

Brother... why must we use blood? Water might work too. Ancient institutions didn't have blood tests.

Even assuming, hypothetically, that this mechanism requires Qilin blood to open, it should still be Lieutenant Zhang who does it, since his blood is purer than Zhang Qishan's...

About ten seconds later.

The Qilin relief on the ground trembled and began to slowly descend.

At the same time, the surrounding reliefs of the four sacred beasts also descended.

Immediately afterwards, clear water began to gush out from under the relief, forming five water pits on the stone platform.

“Click…Click…”

Suddenly, a piercing cracking sound rang out.

Hearing the sound, everyone looked over and saw sixty-four giant iron chains connecting the stone platform beginning to descend from the rock wall.

As soon as the iron chain moved, the stone platform swayed, but the swaying was not very large, and everyone could stabilize themselves by squatting down.

As the sixty-four iron chains descended through the crevice in the rock wall, they also brought out a large amount of white powder and crystals.

The white powder and white crystals were so numerous that they cascaded down like sixty-four white waterfalls onto the fluorescent lake.

As white powder and white crystals were thrown into the fluorescent lake, the entire lake surface was covered with a layer of white light.

Immediately afterwards, the entire lake surface began to freeze over, and the ice layer appeared to be getting thicker and thicker.

"Click...click...click!"

Before everyone could be shocked, commotion arose beneath the fluorescent lake.

The bronze coffin that had been seen earlier was now being supported by a small stone platform.

For every inch the sixty-four iron chains descended, the bronze coffin rose one inch.

Just a few seconds later.

The bronze coffin had been lifted to the lake surface by the stone platform, and the suspended platform where everyone was located had also been lowered to the lake surface.

Today, between the suspended platform and the bronze coffin stone platform.

It was only about ten meters away.

Moreover, that section of the road has been transformed from lake water into ice, and it only takes a few steps to reach it.

"adjutant!"

Seeing the bronze coffin so close at hand, Zhang Qishan was somewhat excited and reached out his hand to his adjutant.

Lieutenant Zhang nodded and took two cans out of his backpack.

After receiving the canned food, Zhang Qishan threw it forcefully onto the ice to test its thickness.

"Snapped!"

Two knocking sounds rang out, and the can was smashed flat, but the ice surface remained intact, with only some ice chips appearing.

"go!"

Seeing this, Fang Yun grinned and stepped onto the ice, heading towards the stone platform.

Finally, I can get down to business!

Soon, the group arrived at the stone platform.

The bronze coffin was placed right in the center of the stone platform.

Upon seeing the bronze coffin, Zhang, the adjutant, was about to step forward, but Fang Yun stopped him.

"and many more!"

"You all stand in the first position, let me try first."

After stopping Zhang, the adjutant, Fang Yun put on a solemn expression and walked to the bronze coffin.

Hearing Fang Yun's words, no one objected, and they all stood aside, away from the bronze coffin.

Opening the coffin is indeed dangerous, and quite dangerous at that.

Moreover, in a tomb like this, where there are no obstacles ahead and the path leads directly to the main burial chamber, the most dangerous place might be on the coffin itself.

"Get ready. If there's a problem, I'll speak up, and you'll all leave immediately."

Fang Yun nodded to everyone, rolled up his sleeves, and reached out towards the bronze coffin.

Seeing Fang Yun's actions, everyone held their breath, drew their weapons, and stared intently at the bronze coffin.

"It doesn't seem dangerous, let's just do it."

After a moment's thought, Fang Yun pushed the coffin lid directly towards it.

With only a corner of the coffin lid pushed open, he, possessing night vision, was able to see the specific situation inside the coffin.

Contrary to expectations, the coffin was spotless and filthy, with no foul odor.

The inside of the coffin was lined with embroidered brocade, and in the center lay an old man dressed in brocade robes, who looked to be in his fifties or sixties. This must be the body of Qing Wuzi.

Qingwuzi's body showed no signs of decay, and his face even had a rosy glow.

He looked like a healthy old man in his sleep.

His abdomen was covered with a piece of silk cloth, and there was nothing else in the coffin.

Fang Yun was a little anxious and, without thinking, immediately picked up the piece of silk.

I acquired 573 pieces of cloth, but the system didn't react at all.

"really..."

Fang Yun sighed inwardly.

It seems that Qingwuzi's legacy did not remain in this world of meteorites.

Of course, he had anticipated all of this beforehand and didn't pay too much attention to it.

I just feel it's a bit of a pity.

After all, the real world and the world of meteorites are the same.

If the Book of Physiognomy can be found in the bronze coffin in the Meteorite World, then it means that the real Book of Physiognomy is hidden in the bronze coffin in the real world.

It now appears that both bronze coffins were fake.

The bronze museum in the real world is a facade; the bronze museum in the meteorite world is a figment of imagination.

"If it's not in the Bronze Hall... then where could it be...?"

"Illusory world is fake, real world is a facade, so is the entire main tomb chamber fake?"

"What paths haven't we explored yet... the maze?"

After thinking about it for a while, Fang Yun had a bit of a headache.

Could it be that he was too clever for his own good and missed the real coffin on the way?

Chapter 217: There's a third tomb chamber!

"Qingwuzi... he's a master, he really knows how to play."

After a moment of reflection, Fang Yun waved to the waiting crowd.

"No problem, come on over."

Zhang Qishan, Qi Tiezui, Huo Sanniang, and the others were already eager to see what was inside the coffin. Upon hearing Fang Yun's words, they immediately surrounded the coffin.

"Oh my God!"

"How could the body be preserved so well?"

"That's amazing! How did he do that?"

Qi Tiezui exclaimed in surprise at the mere glance.

"It's not too difficult to keep the body from decaying," Fang Yun shook his head and explained casually.
