Chapter 724 The Method of Leaving
Kong Wange knew that he had let go of his obsession, and her eyes reddened. She reached out and gave Wan Qingzhou a hug, without saying anything more.
She put the box away and let out a sigh of relief. "So, we're facing a new problem—how do we get out of here?"
Upon hearing this, Wan Qingzhou lowered his head and pondered.
While everyone else was starving and sat down to rest, he continued to search around the entire tomb.
Finally, he focused his attention on the large Buddha statue.
Seeing him pondering repeatedly, Kong Wange couldn't help but look at the large Buddha statue: "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Wan Qingzhou pointed behind the Buddha: "Why does such a fine Buddha have a tail?"
Kong Wange let out an "uh": "So... this is what you look like?"
She had never really thought about why it had a long tail.
Although they also felt it was strange, hadn't they encountered many strange things since they descended into this cave?
Wan Qingzhou shook his head.
Seeing this, Qin Feng asked, "Senior, do you think there's something strange about this tail?"
“I just climbed up to that tail and circled around it a few times, but I didn’t find anything amiss,” Wan Qingzhou replied.
"Well..." Qin Feng didn't know what to say. Since there were no clues, was it still necessary to keep dwelling on this?
Wan Qingzhou pondered for a moment and said, "I feel like I've forgotten something. I need to think about it."
As he spoke, he turned his head and sat cross-legged on the prayer mat placed under the Buddha statue, closed his eyes, and remained silent.
Kong Wange and Qin Feng looked at each other for a moment, but they did not bother him any further.
Time ticked by, and the others gradually couldn't hold on any longer.
Old Qi was the first to have his stomach rumble.
The rumbling sound was quite loud. He rubbed his stomach sheepishly and whispered, "I haven't eaten in a while, I'm a little hungry..."
"That's all you've got!" Hou Kai said disdainfully from the side, "Look at me, I can still... gurgle..."
Before he could finish speaking, his stomach began to rumble with hunger.
He immediately fell silent.
Old Qi chuckled, "The pot calling the kettle black!"
Hou Kai's ears turned bright red, but he stubbornly retorted, "I need to go to the toilet, not because I'm hungry. Don't talk nonsense!"
Old Qi saw through it but didn't say anything: "Alright, alright, it's not because I'm hungry. Brother Kai is a tough guy, a real man. He grew up with the essence of the sun and moon. We mortals can't compare to him."
It would have been better not to say anything at all. Hou Kai turned around to beat up Lao Qi, but Han Xu stopped him: "Still have the energy to cause trouble?"
Ayan lay on Han Xu's lap with her eyes half-closed: "Yeah, brothers, let's save our energy."
After Han Xu stopped them, the two of them became quiet.
After a long pause, Old Qi sighed, "Do you think... we can still get out?"
He was ultimately met with a brutal beating from Hou Kai: "What do you mean, 'Can't we even get out?!'"
He emphasized the word "me" and snorted, "Do you not believe the boss, or Sister Wan Ge, or perhaps you don't believe Master Wan?"
Old Qi opened and closed his lips repeatedly: "I don't believe in myself, okay?"
After saying that, he turned his head and closed his eyes in frustration.
In fact, Lao Qi wasn't the only one who was depressed and irritable. As time went by, the other teenagers were also in a bad mood.
They were all young men, and although they replenished their energy once along the way, they had walked such a long distance, fought and fled for their lives, that little bit of energy had long since evaporated with their blood and sweat.
Unfortunately, they currently have absolutely no food left.
Once inside the tomb, everyone lost track of time and had no idea how long they had been down there.
What's even more despairing is that they don't know how much longer they have to stay.
Endless waiting is the most agonizing thing, not to mention not having food or water. In this state, even if they try to endure it, how long can they last?
The boys were all uneasy, but they gritted their teeth and remained silent.
They chose to come down into the tomb themselves, so anyone who complains now is a coward!
Moreover...
In situations like these, it's even more important not to say discouraging things, otherwise, if the negative emotions spread, everyone will easily lose their composure.
Qin Feng naturally understood what the teenagers could figure out.
But he felt more pressure than the teenagers because he had made up his mind early on to take them out in the same way he had brought them in.
Now that we've come this far, there's no reason for us to be stuck at the last step.
He took a deep breath, stood up and walked to Wan Qingzhou's side: "Senior Wan, shall I try climbing up again?"
Wan Qingzhou kept her eyes closed and didn't speak.
Qin Feng looked at him for a while, and seeing that he really didn't intend to pay attention to him, he turned around and walked towards the Buddha. Kong Wange followed him and said, "I'll go with you."
Qin Feng nodded.
The two had only taken a few steps when they suddenly heard Wan Qingzhou say, "I understand!"
Then he opened his eyes, got up, and strode towards the Buddha statue without looking to the side.
Qin Feng and Kong Wange: "?"
The two exchanged a glance and quickly followed.
Wan Qingzhou was agile and jumped onto the Buddha statue in just a few steps.
Qin Feng and Kong Wange wanted to follow, but he stopped them below: "You go to the front, and I'll tell you where to deduct in a moment."
Although they didn't know what they were supposed to "deduct" from, Qin Feng and Kong Wange still stood in front of the Buddha as instructed.
"Four and six are east, two and eight are west, three and seven are south..."
As Wan Qingzhou jumped around and chanted incantations, the six arms of the Buddha were actually moved by Wan Qingzhou's hands.
Different arms were posed in different ways, and each arm ultimately pointed in a direction.
Wan Qingzhou then said, "You two, point it at the brick on the ground and tap it three times, then press it down hard."
Kong Wange glanced at Qin Feng: "Me on the left, you on the right?"
Qin Feng replied, "No problem."
The two quickly followed Wan Qingzhou's instructions, tapping the six bricks three times and then pressing them down.
When the sixth brick was pressed down, there was a loud "rumble", and the Buddha's tail, which was originally close to the ground, actually moved!
As it slowly moved, a wide opening was revealed.
Everyone was stunned, and for a moment they forgot about their hunger and got up.
"Is this the exit?!"
"Can we get out now?"
"We can go home?!"
Wan Qingzhou jumped down from the Buddha statue in a few steps, and Kong Wange and Qin Feng walked to his side, both looking excited.
"Senior, how did you come up with such a complicated mechanism?" Qin Feng couldn't help but ask.
Seeing the cave entrance revealed, Wan Qingzhou's expression relaxed a bit: "Placing the Buddha's tail here is obviously redundant, it seems more like someone added it later, but why add a tail here? It must be to cover something up."
"So I guess that the Buddha statue was probably here before the tomb was built. Later, the people who built the tomb wanted to use a mechanism to cover the exit, so they added a tail to the Buddha statue."
"The people who built this are quite interesting," Kong Wange said, looking at the magnificent coffin.
