Chapter 910 Totem



Lin Han walked into the cave in the dark. There were paper money all over the road, white sails hanging on the walls, and a lot of incense and candles as offerings on the ground.

Because this is near the entrance and there are no mechanisms, Master Gu Jian would worship the ancestors here every Qingming Festival.

And if you go in further, you won’t find those things anymore, because no one knows if there are any mechanisms or whether there will be any danger.

Lin Han walked slowly and carefully.

Use a flashlight to shine around you, including the ground and ceiling, with every step you take to avoid stepping on any mechanism.

But to his surprise, nothing happened along the way.

It would be explainable if there was no need to set up any mechanism at the entrance of the cave, but it was still surprising that he had gone dozens of meters deep and had not encountered any mechanism.

Of course, it could also be because the traps were all set up in the tomb, so we couldn't be too relaxed.

With this doubt in mind, Lin Han continued to move forward cautiously.

Soon he saw a stone door embedded in the concrete wall, with many animals carved on it.

There are birds, bears, tigers, lions, elephants, and some small animals.

He walked along and listened to Qin Yu's words. Each of their previous families had a flag to represent themselves.

There are various animals painted on it, and they use animals to represent themselves.

But they are all real animals. There are no dragons, phoenixes, or other famous mythical beasts.

In all likelihood, it is because in the past, dragons and phoenixes were totems that only the imperial family could use. If ordinary people used them, it would be considered a rebellion, so they did this to avoid trouble.

After all, no matter how powerful the ancient appraiser is, can he be more powerful than the emperor? It is definitely impossible.

But now, Master Gu Jian no longer uses these totems to represent his family.

After all, they are all a family now and have integrated together, so there is no need for them to be unique.

"Um?"

Lin Han didn't pay much attention to it until he found something wrong when he got closer to the stone wall.

The reliefs on the stone walls are very strange, and many of them have scratches on them.

Some were scratched from the top of the head to the abdomen, some were directly scratched at the neck, and some were even covered with scratches and bruises all over the body.

Lin Han couldn't help but reach out and touch the scratches.

“This texture?”

Lin Han couldn't help but frown after touching it, because he could feel that these scratches were not naturally formed.

The straight lines and smooth cross-sections were cut with a knife!

But it is obviously man-made, and it is difficult to form so many scratches naturally.

Unless there had been a landslide here, causing countless rocks to fall and scratch these reliefs.

But what kind of person would do such a thing? This is the territory of Gu Jianshi, where the bones of Gu Jianshi's ancestors are placed, and these reliefs are Gu Jianshi's family totems.

Then Master Gu Jian should not do such a thing, but this is Master Gu Jian's territory. Apart from Master Gu Jian, is there anyone else who can come in here?

"Could it be that some outsiders knew there were priceless things inside, had ill intentions, sneaked in here to make a fortune, and then found that they couldn't open the stone door, so they scratched these reliefs to vent their anger?"

Lin Han could only guess this way. After all, these scratches were obviously made with anger and force. Some totems in particular were covered with scratches. He didn't know who he had offended.

I guess the animal was really unhappy with what the other party saw!

However, there are also reliefs that have not been damaged, such as a wolf.

Lin Han fumbled around and soon found the mechanism to open the door, which was a small stone on the door.

After pressing it, Lin Han retreated quickly, guarding against any mechanism that might pop up from anywhere, but to his surprise, there was no mechanism at all.

"Buzz~"

A dull sound was heard, and the stone door in front of him slowly opened.

This is also what puzzled Lin Han. The switch is obviously easy to find, so why can't someone who is angry and has scratched so many cracks on the wall find it?

Is that person particularly stupid and doesn't know that this door usually has a mechanism?

But what is even more puzzling is that opening the door did not trigger any traps. After all, generally speaking, there must be mechanisms to stop tomb robbers.

Things like flying arrows and hidden fires, but no traps at all, which is really suspicious.

"Could it be that there are too many people trying to pass the level, triggering the trap too many times, and consuming all the stored items in the mechanism?"

Lin Han shone the flashlight inside, but there was nothing on the ground.

This means that his previous reasoning was wrong, and there may not be any mechanism inside.

"Or is it that the trap has fallen into disrepair and has become ineffective?"

Lin Han thought about it and could only think of this one possibility.

But this is a good thing for him, as the trap will fail and he can go in safely.

However, we cannot be too relaxed. After all, if one trap fails, it does not mean that all traps will fail.

After all, this place became the burial place of eighteen or even more people!

Lin Han threw the stone in and waited for half an hour after seeing that nothing happened. He estimated that the poisonous gas inside should have dissipated before he walked in carefully.

But just as he walked in, the door behind him suddenly closed, which scared him.

He quickly turned around and pushed the stone door, but he found that it did not move at all.

"Is this stone door the biggest trap?"

Lin Han frowned, because he realized that the absence of traps before was just an illusion to confuse him, to make him relax and think there was no trap and walk in.

But in fact, this stone door is a trap. It can only be opened from the outside but not from the inside. Moreover, once someone comes in, it will automatically close, trapping the person inside!

And then people will die of thirst and starvation in here!

Before that, his flashlight might run out of battery and he would be plunged into darkness. People in such an environment would become even more frightened and even collapse!

"Calm down, calm down!"

Lin Han felt his breathing becoming rapid and kept telling himself to calm down.

"This door must have some way of sensing when someone comes in before closing it. Is it air flow? When I came in, I moved the air, and the air pressure was different, so the door closed? But did the ancients have such wisdom?"

Lin Han frowned. He had heard of air pressure doors before. That kind of thing was on airplanes.

When taking off and the air pressure inside and outside is different, the door will be locked. It cannot be opened without dozens of tons of force. This is to protect the safety of the passengers.

Of course, this door is not that powerful, but it is a door that can only be opened from the outside.

And this is already fatal!

At the same time, in a room in Guyou Temple, a person was sipping tea carefully.

There was a gray wolf printed on the teacup in his hand. If Lin Han were here, he would find that it was exactly the same as the door on the stone gate.

"Plan! Let's start!"
