The next problem was to find the entrance and the mechanism, but the stone wall in front of him was covered with moss and vines, and it was integrated with the mountain without any traces of human intervention. There were also ordinary stones and trees around it, and it was impossible to find a breakthrough.
Huh? Stone.
Xu Manman had a flash of inspiration. The mechanisms in novels were nothing more than these things. The general direction was correct, but whether it was correct or not would depend on experiments to prove it.
So, for the next half hour, Xu Manman touched all the surrounding stones.
God helps those who work hard. 50 meters away from the stone wall, Xu Manman touched a small stone that she couldn't pull out and tried to turn it.
There was a crackling sound behind me, and a big dark hole appeared in front of the stone wall.
She actually found it, but the entrance was underground, so why was the stone wall shining so golden?
Xu Manman looked at the dark cave entrance. There were no steps and she couldn't see the bottom at a glance. Although she knew there were no living things underground, the thought of the dead also made her feel uneasy.
If she encountered an inanimate object that could still move, she was afraid she would die here.
In the end, it was the desire for gold that defeated the fear.
Xu Manman took out a hemp rope, tied a large stone at one end, and wrapped a flashlight on top of the stone. She slowly lowered it from the entrance of the cave. With the light of the flashlight, she could see what was happening inside the cave.
The stone cave is straight up and down. There is a passage towards the stone wall, about 3 meters long, and the stone reaches the bottom.
Xu Manman took a telescopic ladder from the space. Before going down, she lit a candle at the entrance of the cave to make sure there was enough oxygen before climbing down the ladder.
After coming down and putting the ladder back into the space, she didn't rush forward. She observed the surrounding stone walls and found a protruding small stone. She rotated it and the hole above it slowly closed.
That's right, if there is a door that is open, then of course there must be a door that is closed. Although there is no one here now, to be on the safe side, you still have to close the door when doing something bad.
Then he took out the aluminum alloy high-intensity flashlight produced by the system, and the situation in the passage was clear at a glance.
According to Xu Manman's observation, this was not a tomb. There were no murals on the stone walls on both sides of the passage, nor were there the legendary burial objects and epitaphs. She gradually felt relieved.
After walking about a hundred meters forward, a staircase leading upwards appears on the right. Follow the staircase and climb up.
The steps are not straight up, but winding. Some places are extremely steep, with protruding stone walls on both sides, only enough space for one person to pass sideways.
I don’t know how long it took, but Xu Manman’s legs were already weak before she finally climbed the last step.
Suddenly, the view in front of them opened up to a wide platform. Xu Manman held up the flashlight and shone it upwards. It turned out to be a huge cave with stalactites hanging from above.
The person who hid the treasure was really amazing. He was able to find such a good place in the north. She had only seen this kind of terrain in the south in her previous life. Or maybe she was just ignorant.
Without bothering to study the cave, Xu Manman was almost blinded by the golden light emitted by the countless boxes placed in front of the platform.
After finding the target and temporarily turning off the treasure hunting eye, Xu Manman walked forward with a flashlight.
This place is filled with wooden boxes of all sizes. It has probably been a long time since anyone has been here. The boxes are covered with dust, and many of the boxes placed underneath have rotted underneath.
Xu Manman couldn't wait to open the nearest wooden box. Even without the treasure-hunting eyes, she would be blinded by the dazzle. It was a box full of yellow croaker. It was the first time she had seen so much gold in her two lifetimes.
She likes this kind of blind box. It is easy to open and she loves to open it and opens it many times.
I looked at the system time and it was already 2pm. It took me quite some time to find the mechanism and get in. If I delay any longer, I will miss the chance to hand in the last basket of pig grass.
She didn't have time to open the blind boxes, so she put all the boxes in front of her into the system backpack and waited to open them slowly in the space when she returned.
In order to avoid missing anything, I opened the treasure hunting eye and took a closer look. Being careful does pay off.
Through the treasure hunting eye, I found that there was more gold ahead. Sure enough, there was an upward passage on the other side of the platform.
Go up the passage and you'll find the second platform. This platform is smaller than the previous one, but it has more boxes, filling the entire platform.
To save time, I didn’t open any boxes this time and put all of them directly into the system backpack.
He checked again with the treasure-hunting eye and opened the map to make sure that the light here had disappeared and there was no golden glitter left. Then he started to return along the same route.
