Chapter 311 I Want to Stay and See



Several people's faces froze slightly.

Looking at the dark mirror-like water surface, Xiao Yang was a little scared. He said, "Miss Lin, there are no ripples on the water surface. Are you feeling it wrong?"

"Yeah, if there was something underneath, it wouldn't be so calm." Zhang Shan touched his arm and felt goose bumps.

Lin Wu frowned, "I don't know either. Just at that moment, I suddenly felt like there was something looking at me from below."

Several people looked at each other.

Bo Yuting went forward first, leaned down a little, supported by the railing, and looked intently with a flashlight.

After taking a look, he realized something was wrong and said in surprise: "This water seems to be black and opaque. I can't see what's inside."

"Black water? Is there black water in this world? Isn't it because the water is too deep that the surface of the water looks black?" Xiao Yang and Zhang Shan came forward to take a look curiously.

Kate searched through the bag and found nothing that could be used, so he simply asked Bo Yuting: "Do you have any stones? Throw one down and see."

Bo Yuting nodded, pulled down the bag, unzipped it, took it out, and threw it down with a little force.

Lin Wu immediately went forward to take a look.

The stone fell into the water, causing a small splash and ripples on the water surface.

However, they now saw that the splashing water was actually black.

"There really is water of this color. Is it because the water is under the mineral deposits and has been polluted and turned black?" Xiao Yang muttered.

Bo Yuting ignored this and turned his head to Lin Wu and said, "Don't worry. If there were people down there, the water wouldn't be as calm as it was just now."

Lin Wu still felt something was strange, but after looking at it this way, she realized that she was just being too suspicious.

She hummed, turned around and said, "Then let's keep going."

The few of them did not stay any longer and quickly walked back to the cave entrance.

When she was about to go in, Lin Wu looked back as if possessed by a ghost, and suddenly saw a figure that seemed to be about to break out from the water surface, but she closed her eyes and looked again, and there was nothing. There were only the ripples on the water surface that were getting smaller and smaller, which were left by Bo Yuting after throwing the stone just now.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Wu heard Bo Yuting's voice again.

She came back to her senses and realized that she had just unconsciously grabbed the corner of Bo Yuting's clothes.

Meeting his caring gaze, Lin Wu's eyebrows showed a little fatigue, and said: "It's okay, maybe I have been keeping my spirit tense for a long time, and I am starting to get tired."

According to common sense, she could only be hallucinating.

Bo Yuting put the flashlight in his pocket, raised his hand to rub her temple, and said, "Let's find a safe place later, stop and rest, and take turns to catch up on some sleep."

Kate in front heard it and turned to look at her, her tone unable to hide her worry, "Ms. Lin, hold on for a while, and then find a place to rest. You can set off again after you have rested enough."

Lin Wu nodded, perked up and paid attention to the current situation.

After passing through the cave, they came to a very spacious and large stone chamber, which was also empty and had nothing in it.

They walked through the arch bridge in the middle and saw a hole on each side, through which they could see a stone path paved with bluestone bricks.

"Ms. Lin, which way should we go?"

Now Kate didn't need to ask, Xiao Yang and Zhang Shan had already asked spontaneously.

Lin Wu felt that it didn't matter which direction they went, so she pointed to the right. The few of them followed her instructions and re-entered the stone path, as if the lake and pavilion they had just seen were just an illusion.

The new stone path they entered was also different from the previous one. There were strange patterns engraved on the walls on both sides of the stone path, like murals. It seemed as if they were recording something, but unfortunately they didn't recognize it.

Lin Wu tried to write it down first and then study it when he got out.

Before they knew it, they had turned around and around and reached the end, where they saw a small stone chamber that was three meters square.

Here, real murals appeared on the walls! There were characters and scenes, like some kind of event.

Kate immediately stopped and watched carefully. Lin Wu couldn't help but ask: "Do you understand this?"

Kate shook her head. "I don't really understand it. The mural has bright colors, strong contrast, smooth and beautiful lines, and is well preserved. The style doesn't look like something from any previous dynasty. And the clothes worn by the little people on it are strange. I can't tell what their identities are."

"I did see something, but I don't know if it's correct."

Bo Yuting suddenly spoke, shining the flashlight in his hand on the first painting on the right, "It looks like a group of people found something. Later, this group of people kept it. Some other servants appeared here, it should be that outsiders came to visit, and this group of people took out that thing, and the outsiders must be here for it."

"But later on, the people who originally discovered it appeared less and less, and instead, more and more people from outside appeared, until they completely occupied the area, and there were no original people left. The outsiders may have replaced the indigenous people in some way and also obtained the thing that the indigenous people kept."

"No, the indigenous people did not disappear completely."

Bo Yuting walked forward and pointed to the lower right side, where there were several fingernail-sized things that looked like people, but they were mostly covered by the painting above, so it was impossible to tell.

Bo Yuting said: "It is possible that there are still some natives left, silently watching the group of outsiders in the dark. But obviously, the group of outsiders did not notice them."

Lin Wu and his companions only understood half of what was said.

Kate next to him had a slight gleam in her eyes, and lowered her head slightly, half-squinting her eyes as if she had thought of something.

Since they couldn't understand the murals, they left.

But as they went deeper, they began to encounter forks in the road, with two or three roads appearing.

At this time, the choice of several people was completely left to Lin Wu.

Lin Wu just walked based on his feeling.

Maybe they were lucky and never encountered any danger.

This went smoothly until they arrived at a stone chamber. They managed to open the stone door and went in, only to find that it was a tomb chamber.

They had such a judgment because they saw a black coffin placed a few meters away from them! There were several cabinets and shelves around, and on them were funerary objects of extraordinary value. The specifications of this tomb were also very high. There were hollow murals on three walls, inlaid with gold and jade, and even the stone wall above their heads was engraved with several dragons and phoenixes circling and overlapping each other. There were even night pearls in the position of their eyes, emitting a bright white light in the dark.

Xiao Yang asked Kate with shining eyes: "Boss, is this the main tomb? Are we going to find a way out?"

Kate looked around for a while and shook her head cruelly: "This is not the main tomb chamber. At most, it is the place where the people buried with the dead are. But since we have found this place, it proves that the main tomb chamber is not far from here."

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go straight to the main tomb chamber."

Bo Yuting was about to leave when he heard this.

Lin Wu too.

She just wanted to find a way out, or walk around somewhere else to see if there would be any trace of Cheng Man. She was not interested in this place.

But Kate said, "You guys go look for it first. I want to stay and see if there's anything here. Maybe there's a road here."

Lin Wu and Bo Yuting looked at each other and said, "Okay, then let's stay and look for it together."

Xiao Yang and Zhang Shan didn't leave either.

Kate seemed to want to say something, but finally just nodded.

The five people then dispersed to check and search.

In fact, there is nothing special here except the coffin and funerary objects.

Kate hesitated, his eyes cast towards the only black coffin that he hadn’t touched, and he said slowly: “…I want to open it and take a look.”
