Chapter 1435 Murals and Secret Paths
Everyone followed immediately.
In fact, if Zhao Yuan does not need to remind them, they will be extra careful, not only because this pyramid is very strange, but also because there are demons who come to this pyramid one step ahead of them. If those demons set up some mechanism and trap on the way, or notice their arrival, they ambushed in the dark and launched a sneak attack, if they are not wary, they will definitely suffer!
Like the passage entering the pyramid, there are also wires and lights hanging in this passage.
Zhao Yuan frowned and said, "Please pay attention to the surroundings. Since there is a lighting system in this passage, it means that the road to heaven is probably not at its end. Maybe there are secret passages hidden on these stone walls and slabs."
"I understand." Everyone nodded in one go, and even stretched out their hands. While walking, they tapped and groped on the stone walls on both sides and the stone slabs above their heads. As for the stone slabs below, their feet could detect the situation below every step they took.
However, even though everyone was exploring step by step, they still found nothing. After more than ten minutes, they found that they had actually returned to the previous tomb chamber, which was coming out of the passage on the right.
After walking out of the passage, Hao Li said in surprise: "What's the situation? He actually walked back?"
Ying Ji frowned and recalled: "We didn't see any forks along the way, only one road leads to the end. In this way, the passages on both sides of the tomb do not lead to other places, but just circle the tomb for a while? But what's the point of such a design?"
Cheng Haoyu complained: "What's the point? Is this still necessary to ask? This design is to confuse people entering the pyramid and make them unable to find a path to the Tongtian Road."
Ying Ji didn't agree with Cheng Haoyu's words, because at this time, it was not the time to study the concept of the channel design in the pyramid. She looked back at the passage that she walked out and said, "Why don't we go back to the passage to look for it? Maybe there is something we ignored and didn't check it?"
Zhao Yuan's eyes lit up: "You are right, we did ignore a place and didn't check it."
"Where?" Ying Ji asked, then reacted and looked around: "This tomb?"
"Yes, it's here."
Cheng Haoyu also reacted and shouted, "What are you waiting for? Let's find it quickly! Time is tight, so you can't waste it!"
His words made everyone agree with them.
Immediately, a group of people scattered and searched around the tomb.
During the search process, Zhao Yuan's eyes fell on one of the murals. He had glanced at him, but after seeing the contents on the painting, he was stunned: "Hey, this painting..."
"What's wrong with the painting? Is the passage hidden in the painting?" Cheng Haoyu came over and asked. This sounded like a big brain, but it was not unreasonable. Because the world in the painting is very common as a secret realm. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that the road to heaven is hidden in the murals.
"That's not." Zhao Yuan shook his head, "I just feel strange about the content of this painting. Look, this is Sudan, it is Africa. Ordinary murals are very exotic. But the characters on this mural, regardless of their appearance or dress, are all ancient Chinese style."
Cheng Haoyu looked at the mural a few times and was amazed: "It's really... strange. How could there be a Chinese-style mural inside a pyramid? It's really out of place!"
Ying Ji glanced at him from a distance and then devoted herself to the work of finding a way again. However, while searching, she said, "Maybe, this pyramid was built by ancient Chinese people backed by them?"
"Is this too outrageous? Can the ancient Chinese run so far? Have you come to Africa?" Cheng Haoyu expressed his disbelief.
Ying Ji said, "Don't believe it. Our ancestors' feet are probably going to travel all over the earth. Otherwise, how could there be many plants and animals that are only available on the African continent in the "Shan Hai Jing"? Besides, even if ordinary people can't come so far, can't practitioners come? Can't gods and monsters come?"
"Uh...this is true." Cheng Haoyu scratched his head and turned to Zhao Yuan and said, "Senior Brother, hurry up and do the business. You can appreciate this mural at any time, so don't worry about it."
Zhao Yuan nodded and agreed, and before continuing to search, he finally took a look at the mural.
The content of this mural is simple, which means that three people stand side by side. In front of them, there is a dark tide. The whole painting seems to describe a legend, but the meaning is difficult to understand. I don’t know if it has anything to do with the road to heaven.
Zhao Yuan withdrew his gaze and continued to search for the hidden passage.
After searching for a while, he looked at the sarcophagus in the center of the tomb and walked over.
Hao Li said to him: "Senior Brother, you don't have to worry. I just saw that there is no secret passage in the sarcophagus."
"There is not inside the sarcophagus, is it under the sarcophagus?" Zhao Yuan asked.
"Um?"
"Under the sarcophagus?"
Everyone was stunned.
"Senior Brother, have you discovered anything?" Ying Ji asked.
Zhao Yuan said: "Don't you think the sarcophagus is too clean? There is no dust at all."
"What if the staff here are too responsible and clean up diligently?" Cheng Haoyu said.
Zhao Yuan said: "That possibility is not ruled out, but there is another possibility, that is, someone has specially cleaned up the sarcophagus to eliminate footprints. Anyway, this sarcophagus is not heavy for us, just take it aside and look at it."
"I'll do it." Meng Huo volunteered, rushed to the sarcophagus in a few steps, stretched out his two thick arms, and lifted the sarcophagus weighing thousands of pounds in an instant.
However, nothing is below.
"Senior Brother, it seems you guessed it wrong." Cheng Haoyu said.
Zhao Yuan smiled: "It's not wrong. Isn't there a base?" He directed Meng Huo, lifted the sarcophagus aside and put it down, and then came over and lifted the stone base below.
A dark intersection appeared in front of everyone.
"It's really here!" Cheng Haoyu opened his mouth wide, then gave Zhao Yuan a thumbs up, and praised sincerely: "Senior Brother, you are still powerful."
Zhao Yuan smiled, said nothing, and carefully observed the intersection. After confirming that there was no mechanism trap, he called everyone and said, "Let's go, let's go down."
