C52 inside the mountain

If it was before, I wasn't sure if I would have walked into such an obvious trap, but thinking about the three million in medical fees, I could only grit my teeth and accompany Lin Jiang.

The Old He's mountain wasn't very high, but the forest was very large. Finding a cave without anyone pointing the way would be difficult, and when the weasel opened his mouth to point the way, the Old He didn't seem to be too shocked. This made me curious, what exactly was he doing?

"Old He, since even the weasel has spoken, why aren't you afraid? From what I see, you aren't even selling antiques, right? " I couldn't help but to ask. I still remember the first time Old He saw me, he could already tell that I was being haunted. This is also evidence.

"I already told you, don't tell others." Old He suddenly lowered his voice. Seeing that we were not outsiders, he then explained it all to them.

When Old He was young, he actually stole tombs, and even found a real book on hemp arts while robbing tombs. It's just that he didn't have any talent or any kind of master to guide him, so he had only learned a little after dozens of years of self-study.

Later on, they suffered a huge blow during an event. Out of the dozen or so people who died in the tomb robbing gang, only he and a vulgar monk were left. Only then did he stop thinking about selling cultural relics.

Just as the story of the Old He was finished, the cave mentioned by the weasel had also arrived. Looking at that unfathomably deep hole, Lin Jiang and I were a little hesitant, unsure of whether we should charge in just like that.

Just as we were hesitating, Old He suddenly took out a wooden stick from his bag and wrapped it with a few steps to make a torch for us.

At first, I didn't know what was the meaning of his actions, because when we were preparing our luggage, Old He brought a six-handed electric shock. How come he used a torch this time?

However, I quickly understood Old He's intentions. He extended the torch into the cave and the fire dimmed down a little. However, it didn't die out in the end.

"The oxygen here is a little thin, but it's fine. You can go in." I lamented in my heart, Old He is indeed worthy of being a professional. Although he has not accepted such a job for decades, he has a lot of experience in exploring.

"Let's go. If this beast dares to lie to me, I will kill it on the spot." Lin Jiang suddenly said fiercely. With the weasel in one hand and the dagger in the other, he looked like he might attack at any time.

I couldn't help but pat his shoulder, signalling him not to think too much. We had previously agreed that if we could get it, we would get it, and if we couldn't, we would get it. Although Lin Jiang's mother's condition is serious, but if Lin Jiang is also gone, I won't be able to explain it to Uncle Lin when I go back.

Old He gave me a flashlight. I will be at the front, Old He will be at the back, and Lin Jiang will be in the middle. This formation has one advantage, and that is that they can take care of everyone from the front and back.

I don't know how long the cave was, or what was waiting at the end of the cave. Maybe it was a pile of antiques, maybe it was nothing, or maybe it really was a trap waiting for us.

It was recorded in Uncle Liu's notes that the unknown was the most effective factor in causing fear, and many people weren't directly killed by ghosts. Most of them were scared to death.

I wanted to calm myself down, but this was the first time I had done that. My heart was pounding rapidly, and as I went deeper, my fear got worse.

Suddenly, the light from the flashlight reflected back. The cave had actually reached its end. When the light reflected off the stone wall, it happened to flash into my own eyes. Unknowingly, I was startled by it.

Calming my heart, I looked at the empty space in front of me, and said helplessly to Lin Jiang: "There's no road ahead, we've been tricked, you should just kill that weasel."

"Don't! Don't! Little deity, look carefully at the stone wall in front of you! " Hearing me say this, the weasel in Lin Jiang's hands suddenly became anxious, and started begging with a high-pitched voice.

The disappointed Lin Jiang was about to attack, but when he heard the weasel's words, he unconsciously stopped. Even if his hopes were slim, he still had three million on him.

"Luo Sheng, look carefully, what is on the wall?" Lin Jiang instructed me, and I immediately switched the spotlight on the flashlight into a speck of light, then retreated a few steps, and when I shone the light on the wall, I was able to see everything clearly.

"Those who trespass will die." Looking at these four words, my scalp tingled. I was indeed tricked, and Lin Jiang had already started roaring. With a single stab, he had stabbed the knife into the weasel's body.

In the next moment, the weasel screamed miserably. I didn't expect Lin Jiang to attack so quickly, but it seems like he was forced into a corner by his family's matter. However, the weasel didn't die even after wailing for a while.

"I'm really not lying to you guys, there really is a treasure inside, look! There's a Pixiu headdress on the stone wall. As long as you put your hand in the Pixiu's mouth, the door will open! "

The weasel wailed, begging for mercy. Actually, I've already seen the carving of the beast mask, but I didn't think that it would actually be used to open the door.

If it wasn't for the words on the door, I would have already done as I said. However, the word "die" was especially obvious. When I wanted to act, it kept restraining me.

"How dare you lie to me? What did trespassing mean? What the hell is going on inside? " Lin Jiang said fiercely. As he spoke, he planned to stab the weasel again, and the weasel also began to beg for forgiveness.

"There is only a row of crossbow bolts behind the door!" But so many years have passed, and the mechanism has long been destroyed, so you can rest assured! "

Hearing that, I looked at Lin Jiang, and Lin Jiang looked at me. Finally, we looked at Old He, who was currently fumbling about on the wall, not caring about what we were discussing at all.

"Old He, what's wrong? Could it be that there is a hidden passage here? " I couldn't help but ask. Although this cave isn't a tomb, the traps and secret passages that were designed should be similar to the tomb. Maybe the Old He would be able to find a safe entrance.

"Smell it. There seems to be a wind coming out of this wall. I bet there's something behind this wall." The Old He pulled Lin Jiang and I to the side, and pointed to a flat stone wall in front of them.

The words of the Old He seemed to have ignited our hope, hearing that Lin Jiang and I looked towards the weasel, thinking that with such an expert, bringing this thing in would definitely be a burden, and might even stab us in the back.

"Why don't we kill it and find a way out?" I spoke directly, and the weasel's eyes widened.
