Tomb raiding: Carrying a coffin during a funeral procession, rewarded with the Dragon Elephant Prajn
Chapter 168 The Hidden Cave
The Suspended Staircase is located in the southeast corner, surrounded by complete darkness. A powerful flashlight can only illuminate an area of a few meters in radius.
I reached out, but I couldn't see anything.
Even sound will be mostly absorbed!
Yin Nanfeng carefully observed his surroundings. He asked softly, with a hint of doubt, "Is there a trap here?"
Li Changsheng did not answer, but simply pointed to one of the steps.
Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and this step was no different from the other steps of the Suspended Soul Staircase.
But at that moment, Wang Xiansheng suddenly let out a soft exclamation.
"Boss Wang, did you figure it out?" Yin Nanfeng asked hurriedly.
Wang Xiansheng nodded, then took out a roll of measuring tape from his pocket.
He unfolded the measuring tape and measured the surrounding steps of the Suspended Staircase.
Then record all the data.
"Look!"
Wang Xiansheng pointed to the recorded data and said excitedly, "Actually, I discovered a long time ago that although the steps of this Suspended Soul Staircase look exactly the same, there are always subtle differences in height."
"At first, I thought it was because ancient craftsmen were not skilled enough, and it was normal for them to have errors."
"However, each step has an error, and the errors are all different, which seems to correspond to a certain law of mutual generation of the five elements."
At this point, Wang Xiansheng looked somewhat helpless.
"Unfortunately, my Five Elements Great Evolution Plum Blossom Numerology is not profound enough to deduce its mysteries."
Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized what was going on.
Immediately afterwards, they all turned their gaze to Li Changsheng.
"Wang is right. Although Li Chunfeng set up many traps in the tomb, he did leave out ways to break them."
As Li Changsheng spoke, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the Feng Hou Qi Men formation diagram above his head.
"Feng Hou Qi Men, portable!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the enormous array above his head suddenly shrank countless times and solidified behind him.
Immediately afterward, Li Changsheng turned to look at the crowd and nodded, saying, "Follow me!"
After saying this, he turned around and jumped down the steps he had pointed out.
Everyone else who saw this was filled with surprise and uncertainty.
After Li Changsheng jumped down, his figure was instantly swallowed by the darkness.
The others looked at each other, none daring to try it lightly.
Seeing this, Yin Nanfeng gritted his teeth, was the first to walk to the steps, and jumped down with his eyes closed.
Several waiters from the Crescent Moon Hotel changed their expressions and hurriedly followed.
Moreover, the sound coming from not far below the Suspended Staircase as they jumped down finally put everyone at ease.
"It's okay, it's okay, there's a path below, you can jump without worry."
"Phew, that startled me. I'm so glad you're alright, Miss."
"Senior Li, thank you for reminding me."
On the Suspended Staircase, Wang Xiansheng listened to the commotion below and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He gave his men a wink, and one of them immediately stepped forward and jumped off the edge of the steps.
After several of his men jumped down and confirmed that it was safe, Wang Xiansheng then led the remaining men to jump down.
After everyone had come down, Wang Xiansheng surveyed his surroundings. He discovered that before him lay a tomb slightly wider than the Suspended Soul Staircase. The tomb passage was located directly beneath the Suspended Soul Staircase!
However, the Suspended Soul Ladder blocked the way, and the only place where one could jump down was the spot Li Changsheng had just pointed out. Jumping anywhere else would only result in falling off the cliff and being smashed to pieces.
Wang Xiansheng breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
Actually, when he noticed that the steps of the Suspended Soul Staircase subtly corresponded to the Eight Trigrams, he had already guessed that there was a gate of life beneath it. But he couldn't deduce exactly where to jump.
Before Li Changsheng appeared, he had even made the worst-case scenario plan: if all else failed, he would have everyone present try each step one by one.
If everyone dies and they still haven't found a way out, then he'll accept it.
The group followed the tomb passage and soon arrived at an underground palace!
The underground palace is very large, roughly the size of a standard basketball court.
The underground palace is hexagonal in shape, with a high platform in the center, and spring water flowing on the platform.
The surrounding walls are decorated with various celestial patterns.
Wang Xiansheng first scanned the murals on the walls of the underground palace, and then his gaze fell on the spring on the high platform in the very center.
Upon seeing this, one of his portly henchmen exclaimed, "Boss, how come there's a spring inside this tomb?"
In Chinese feng shui, tombs are believed to be situated near mountains and water, where the wind is contained and energy is gathered.
Among them, "by the water" means resting one's head on the foot of a mountain and stepping on water, but it is absolutely forbidden to directly introduce water into the tomb.
After all, the ancients regarded death as life. If a good person was sleeping and the spring water next to them was making a gurgling sound, wouldn't that disturb their peaceful sleep?
Not only Wang Xiansheng's employees, but also the people at the Crescent Hotel found it unbelievable.
They were all seasoned veterans who had seen countless tombs.
But this is the first time I've ever seen a cave with a spring inside.
Seeing the crowd discussing it, Wang Xiansheng shook his head and explained, "This is called the Inner Hidden Abyss. I've seen it in the Dragon Seeking Manual."
"According to the records in the 'Dragon Seeking Manual,' the 'Hidden Abyss' is an extremely auspicious feng shui formation, containing auspicious and beautiful water that brings blessings to future generations."
"However, the inner chambers are generally used for the burial of empresses or imperial concubines in ancient times; it is not suitable for men to be buried here."
Upon hearing Wang Xiansheng's explanation, Yin Nanfeng's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Doesn't this perfectly confirm our guess!"
"Li Chunfeng was no ordinary man; he couldn't possibly be unaware that this tomb's feng shui was such that it contained hidden treasures within! Perhaps from the very beginning, he had his eye on this Eastern Zhou tomb with its hidden treasures, deliberately setting it up as a hiding place for his treasures!"
Yin Nanfeng's words were reasonable and well-founded, and Wang Xiansheng nodded repeatedly.
However, at this moment, one of Yin Nanfeng's men said in confusion, "That's not right, Miss. We've been talking for so long, but we still haven't seen a coffin!"
Hearing this, Yin Nanfeng smiled confidently.
"Don't worry, I suspect there must be a hidden door or a secret room in this underground palace. Search carefully along all six walls."
Upon hearing this, the group of workers immediately sprang into action.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Xiansheng also asked his men to help find hidden doors or other mechanisms.
but……
After working for most of the day, even using Luoyang shovels, the workers still couldn't find any hidden doors or anything like that.
They have even confirmed that the six walls of the underground palace, including the ground beneath their feet, are solid!
Even the building materials used were bluestone, which is extremely hard and cannot be moved even by a Luoyang shovel.
In addition to the six walls and the ground, the group also inspected the high platform and the spring.
But still, nothing was found!
"How could this happen..."
The group looked at each other, somewhat bewildered.
This tomb has no burial chamber, no coffin, only a spring... You can't say that the treasure Li Chunfeng hid back then was this spring, can you?
