With the tools provided by Lin Ran, Shi Yan prepared the weapons and torches in a short while.
Shi Yan returned the dagger to Lin Ran, and went into the cave first with a sharpened stick and an unlit torch.
Lin Ran followed closely behind with a dagger in hand.
Because the cave entrance was only half a person's height, the two could only squat and move forward slowly.
At the beginning, there was still some light coming in, but the cave was too small to be convenient for them to perform, so the two of them did not light torches.
After walking for a few minutes, the cave became bigger and bigger, and both of them could stand up and walk.
But it was still pitch black ahead, with no sign of light.
Lin Ran was a little worried.
"I don't know where this cave leads to. Is it a dead end?"
"Don't worry, there is always a way out."
Although Shi Yan comforted Lin Ran verbally, he had already prepared for the worst in his heart.
The two of them walked deeper and deeper, one in front and one behind, until the sunlight could no longer penetrate and it was so dark that they could not see their hands in front of them. Only then did Shi Yan light a torch.
After another ten minutes, the two finally reached the bottom of the cave.
But seeing that there was no way to go forward along the cave wall, Lin Ran finally became anxious.
"What should I do? There's no way out here."
Shi Yan also had a serious expression on his face. He pursed his lips and pondered for a moment, then glanced in the direction he came from.
"I think there should be a road here, otherwise why would there be such a long and narrow cave? This doesn't make sense."
As he said this, he raised the torch and searched carefully along the wall of the cave.
Lin Ran thought this made sense, so she followed Shi Yan to look for it.
Finally, his hard work paid off and Shi Yan touched a particularly hard wall.
He had an idea and quickly scraped off all the dirt on the surface with a stick.
Lin Ran took the torch to help light the way.
After a while, Shi Yan scraped out a stone door.
"No wonder I felt this part was harder than other places when I pressed it just now. It turns out to be the stone gate."
"It seems this should be the way out. We finally found it."
Lin Ran's almond-shaped eyes were instantly filled with surprise, and they looked particularly dazzling in the flickering light of the fire.
Shi Yan was dazed by what he saw.
In the end, Lin Ran couldn't push the door open, so she called him for help, and then she came to her senses.
However, even if the two of them pushed together, the stone door remained motionless.
Lin Ran directly put the torch against the stone gate and studied it carefully.
She suspected that the door might have a mechanism.
After a closer look, she discovered that there were actually carvings on the stone gate, which was so worn out that it showed that it had a long history.
However, after she took a rough look at the entire blurry painting, she inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity.
She tried hard to recall and finally caught a clue.
Then came disbelief.
How is that possible?
Could it be just a coincidence?
Even though Lin Ran felt that her guess was too absurd, she still subconsciously tried the method of opening the mechanism in her memory.
She squatted down and slowly groped at the bottom of the stone gate.
When he really touched a button, Lin Ran was completely stunned.
How could that be?
Could this really be the place she knew?
Thinking of this, she couldn't wait to press it.
Sure enough, a rumbling sound was heard, and the stone door slowly opened automatically.
Before Shi Yan could react to what was happening, he saw the stone door inexplicably open by itself.
He looked at Lin Ran in a rare daze.
"Why did it suddenly open? Did you hit a mechanism?"
But Lin Ran was in no mood to answer him at this moment and walked straight in.
"Be careful, I don't know if there's any danger in there. Let me go in and take a look at the situation first."
Shi Yan was so anxious when he saw Lin Ran walk in so carelessly that he didn't care about whether there were any traps or not.
As soon as Lin Ran came in, she took the torch and scanned the surroundings, and found that this place was completely different from what she remembered.
Although it looks like this was a secret room before, the surrounding area has collapsed now.
There is an exit ahead, which seems to be the way out.
Before Lin Ran could breathe a sigh of relief, he was attracted by a faint green color.
She walked slowly closer and looked at the unidentified object covered in mud, with only a green handle showing.
With trembling hands, she wanted to take the thing out to take a look, but she was afraid that she would see the thing she was most afraid of seeing, so she hesitated for a moment.
But the next second, she mustered up the courage, reached out, and slowly wiped off the dirt around the handle.
No matter what, she has to face it!
As the mud receded, the objects inside finally revealed their true appearance.
It’s the Four-Ram Square Tripod!
The coincidences that happened one after another made Lin Ran no longer dare to have any luck.
At this moment, her head and ears were buzzing, and her hands were shaking uncontrollably.
But she still tried her best to turn the Four Sheep Square Tripod over and kept wiping it until the three words of the person's name finally appeared.
Lin Ran could no longer hold back her tears.
Why would her grandfather's burial objects appear here!
Why did her grandfather's tomb become like this!
What about her grandfather's coffin and remains?
Yes, the three words "Chen Ru Hai" are engraved under this Four Sheep Square Tripod, which is the name of Lin Ran's grandfather.
And this Four-Ram Square Tripod was the burial object of Shen Ruhai.
Including the stone door outside, which was also the secret door of Shen Ruhai's tomb, even the mechanism is the same.
But how come these things appear here now?
Thinking of this, Lin Ran didn't care that her eyes were completely blurred by tears. She threw away the torch and dug the soil with her bare hands.
She had to find her grandfather's coffin and remains so that he could rest in peace.
Seeing this, Shi Yan's heart tightened and he hurriedly grabbed Lin Ran's hands.
"Comrade Lin, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me. Tell me what you want to do and I'll help you!"
"Help, woo woo, help me dig, dig for my grandpa, grandpa, he, woo woo, he is down there, woo woo woo..."
Lin Ran was crying so hard that she couldn't speak.
But Shi Yan still roughly understood it.
Although he was puzzled as to why Lin Ran said her grandfather was down there, he clearly remembered that Lin Ran's grandfather seemed to be still alive.
But seeing Lin Ran crying so sadly, he instinctively didn't want to refuse any of Lin Ran's requests.
I immediately followed her words.
"I'll help you dig it right away. You can rest for a while on the side."
He first helped Lin Ran to rest, and then placed the torch a little further away, fearing that Lin Ran, who was now distracted, might accidentally touch it.
After settling Lin Ran, he continued digging in the direction Lin Ran had just dug.
During this period, Shi Yan also saw the Four Sheep Square Tripod thrown aside by Lin Ran.
He recognized it at a glance as a bronze burial artifact.
Considering Lin Ran's abnormality, could it be that she was going to dig up the owner of the tomb?
Even though he knew that there would be nothing to dig up below, Shi Yan still dug up all the soil piled up above.
He hadn't held out any hope at first, but unexpectedly he actually made a discovery.
