"That's strange, where exactly is the mechanism for this stone door?"
After pondering for a long time, Old Song still couldn't find the mechanism. So he muttered to himself by the stone door, "Door, door, what do you want me to do? Please open it for me!"
Hearing Lao Song's words, Uncle Liu looked at him speechlessly and said, "Do you think this door can talk and talk to you?"
As he spoke, Uncle Liu reached out and patted the stone door, wanting to find the mechanism again.
After being teased by Uncle Liu, Old Song wasn't angry at all. Instead, he laughed and said, "Oh dear, maybe this door is voice-activated. I'll just say a few words and it'll open, hehe~"
Hearing Old Song's foolish words, Sixth Uncle could only roll his eyes at him and lead his men to continue searching for the mechanism.
Ever since Yue Jiuyue learned about the big boss's illness, she wanted to help him find the Coffin Ganoderma. She was willing to help not only for the wages, but also for those treasures. Didn't you hear what the big boss said? Usually, when he gets treasures, he lets those 'workers' take them; he doesn't want them himself. He only wants the Coffin Ganoderma to save his life.
"Nine Stars, let's go check out that stone gate."
In September, after seeing that the people had been searching for a long time but still couldn't find the mechanism, she went up to see what was going on and discovered the problem.
It turns out that this stone door didn't have any mechanism at all; it was a door that could never be opened again once it was closed!
After placing her hand on the stone door and using magic to see through it, Yue Jiuxing said to the others, "You don't need to look for the mechanism. You won't find it. Don't waste your energy." She shook her head and told everyone to leave the stone door, saying, "Because this stone door doesn't have any mechanism at all."
"What? There's no mechanism? How do we open it then?"
Upon hearing this, Old Song immediately asked in confusion, "Could this door be bricked up?"
"It's not that it's completely blocked, it's just that it can only be opened from the inside, and it can't be opened from the outside at all."
Yue Jiuyue reached out and patted the stone door, saying, "There's a huge rock behind this door that's blocking it. The only way to open it is from the inside, or you have to blast it open."
"No way, there's a rock blocking the way from behind! What are we going to do now?"
Sixth Uncle also said with some surprise.
"This stone was probably transported in when the tomb was being built. After the tomb was completed and the workers buried the bodies, when they were about to leave, they would tie a rope to the stone and then pull the rope from the outside to drag the stone to block the door, eventually blocking the stone behind the stone door."
Yue Jiuxing said, "So this stone door can only be moved from the inside or blown open; it probably can't be pushed open from the outside."
"Oh no, what should we do?"
Sister Qing also came over and said, "We can't blow it open, so we definitely can't get inside."
After listening to Yue and Jiuyue's analysis, everyone felt that the stone gate probably couldn't be opened, but the big boss really wasn't doing much work.
All that could be heard was the big boss saying to Yue Jiuyue and Yue Jiuxing, "Can you two help me open the stone door? I'll triple your wages."
"Trillion? That's something to try."
Upon hearing this, Yue Jiuyue was immediately delighted and nodded, saying, "We can give it a try."
As she spoke, Yue Jiuyue pulled Yue Jiuxing to the front of the stone gate. Because they didn't dare to smash the stone gate directly with a single blow, the two of them pretended to take out a yellow paper talisman and stick it on the stone gate. Then they pretended to chant a spell, lowered their heads, closed their eyes, and mumbled some words that no one could understand. Finally, they said to everyone, "Please make way, my explosive talisman is about to explode."
Having seen what they looked like before, everyone guessed that they were about to unleash a powerful attack, so upon hearing this, they immediately retreated to a safe place, waiting for them to unleash their ultimate move.
Seeing that everyone had distanced themselves from them, Yue Jiuyue chuckled to herself, then slapped the yellow paper talisman with her last hand, and the stone door exploded open with a "boom!"
"Wow, it's open! It really exploded!"
"Wow, that's amazing! They actually managed to blast that stone door open. That's incredible."
"Wow, that's amazing! Let's go in and see what's inside."
After the stone gate was finally blasted open with a large hole, and the large rock behind it was also shattered, everyone was able to see what was behind the stone gate.
"Is this a storage chamber for miscellaneous items? Why is it so messy?"
After the big boss went behind the stone gate, he found that it was actually a place for storing miscellaneous items. What they saw there were some dilapidated ceramics, some carriages, some tattered cloths that had turned black and whose original color could no longer be recognized, and some ordinary burial objects.
"Ugh~ It smells awful here, it stinks! Tsk, are these bones horse bones? Are horses buried with us too?"
Next to the carriage, they found a skeleton. Uncle Liu immediately went over to look and said, "How tragic, even the horse had to be buried with it."
Sister Qing also went over to look at the burial objects, then pointed to a small passage ahead and said, "The things in this tomb aren't very valuable. Let's go take a look at the ones in front."
The big boss also wanted to take a look at the small passage, so he said to Yue Jiuxing and Yue Jiuyue beside him, "Shall we go over and take a look?"
"Okay, anyway, none of these are of any use."
Yue Jiuxing glanced at the burial goods with disdain and said, "The truly valuable items are usually in the main burial chamber; these are pretty useless."
