As expected, after an incense stick of time had passed without any results and Luo Changbao and others were about to give up, there was finally movement from Hong Moli's side.
"Brother, come over here and take a look."
Everyone was cheered up and ran towards where Hong Moli was.
Hong Moli was seen squatting next to an irregular triangular floor tile. She held a short-handled shovel in her hand and inserted it into the gap along the edge of the tile, immediately prying up the tile.
Then I saw a rusty iron box under the floor tiles.
Hong Moli looked up at Luo Changbao.
"Crack it, be careful there may be a mechanism inside." Luo Changbao warned.
Hong Moli pulled out her hairpin and twisted off the back half, and instantly several iron wires appeared in her hand.
The lock of the iron box could not escape the ravages of time. When Hong Moli inserted the iron wire into the keyhole, she felt a lot of resistance. Fortunately, she had extraordinary skills and was still able to operate it skillfully.
Suddenly, there was a "click" sound, and the lid of the box automatically popped open. Luo Changbao's face changed, and he grabbed Hong Moli who was still squatting next to the iron box and dodged to the side.
However, the imagined trap did not appear. Wang Chengze looked at the palm-sized copper coin token in the iron box and said, "Brother, there's no danger. There's just something in the box."
Hong Moli couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from her forehead. The incident just happened suddenly and she didn't react at all. If there really was a trap or something, without Luo Changbao's help, she would definitely have died tragically on the spot.
"This thing..." Looking at the copper coin token in the box, Luo Changbao suddenly fell into thought. He seemed to have seen this thing somewhere.
"Hey, I just saw a round hole groove on the wall over there, and the size is exactly the same as this one." Wang Chengze said.
Everyone cheered up, as if it was true. After searching the lobby for so long, they must have discovered the existence of the round hole groove.
Luo Changbao said, "Xiao Wang, bring this thing over here and try it over there."
"Yes." Wang Chengze took out the flying claws worn on his waist and directly grabbed the copper coin token from the iron box.
Nothing happened, it was unusually calm.
It seems that there is no mechanism on this copper coin token.
Everyone walked to the wall with the round hole. Luo Changbao put on the golden silk gloves that could block any poison, then picked up the copper coin token and stuffed it into the groove.
There was no movement.
"Is it useless?" Wang Chengze scratched his head in confusion.
"Brother, try turning it a few times." Hong Moli reminded.
Luo Changbao nodded and did as he was told.
Suddenly, the sound of gears turning was heard from inside the wall. With a roar in the lobby, a long crack appeared in the wall in the eyes of everyone, and then it slowly opened to the left and right.
Boom! Boom!
Dust and smoke billowed, and a strange smell hit me in the face.
This is the smell of decay and mildew that has been accumulated for who knows how many years.
Everyone held their breath and quickly retreated, trying to create distance between themselves and the separating wall.
After running about 20 to 30 feet away, everyone stopped and looked at the wall that had been opened to the limit with serious eyes.
"Brother, there's something wrong with this ancient temple. Looking at all these layers of partitions, it really looks like a mausoleum." Hong Moli said with a very serious expression.
"The lifelong wealth of Mr. Cai, Mr. Fu, and Monk Bao is definitely in there." Luo Changbao said so, but an inexplicable depression surged in his heart.
As someone who has been hunting for treasures for many years, he knows that the most taboo thing in this line of work is greed.
Many treasure hunters would lose their lives because of greed. The current situation of this ancient temple was beyond Luo Changbao's imagination.
Apart from the outer shell of the ancient temple, the interior of this building has no connection with the ancient temple at all, and is completely concealing the truth.
"Let's go out first." Luo Changbao made a quick decision and said through gritted teeth.
But at this moment, the gate of the ancient temple suddenly closed tightly without leaving a gap. The moonlight shining in from outside the gate also disappeared immediately. The entire hall became dark in an instant, and the whole hall was illuminated by the fire starters in the hands of Luo Changbao and the other three.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Suddenly, deafening footsteps were heard from the passage behind the wall, as if something was walking out from inside, and at a very fast speed.
Everyone suddenly tensed up. At this moment, the flames in their hands were so small and weak that they could not illuminate the distant places at all. On the contrary, because they were near the only light source in the darkness, Luo Changbao and the other three became the most conspicuous and eye-catching people in the whole place.
Bang!
Suddenly, the footsteps stopped.
The entire dark hall fell into deathly silence.
No one dared to speak, and everyone held their breath. Everyone knew that the thing that came out of the passage would definitely be watching them quietly in the darkness.
A creepy feeling of being spied on instantly spread throughout everyone's body.
Boom boom boom!
Dong Xing's hands were shaking violently. He could clearly hear the heartbeat coming from his chest. Before Luo Changbao spoke, he didn't dare to move at all. He could only stare at the direction of the passage to prevent that thing from getting closer.
Swish!
In an instant, a pale, hungry face suddenly appeared in front of him. The other person's eyes were empty, and there were no eyeballs in the eye sockets. The lips were cracked, but the smile was so eerie and weird that it made people's heart skip a beat and their whole body shiver.
