Chapter 271 Three Meters Apart
Huo Ling simply chuckled upon hearing this and did not refute it.
The girls all knew Huo Ling's little scheme. With Cheng Feng around, removing these murals would be a piece of cake, and there would be no risk of damage.
"Let's not talk about that. Mr. Cheng, come and take a look here."
Wang Wenxuan did not delve into this topic, but instead invited Cheng Feng to a mural.
This is a portrait of a man riding a horse and brandishing a whip. The man is broad-shouldered and thick-waisted, with shallow facial features.
With a curved sword at his waist, he rode a tall warhorse, poised for a charge.
Judging from the craftsmanship, this painting is lifelike; the mane of the warhorse is incredibly realistic, and the small details of the strong man's body movements are perfectly rendered.
"This person should be the Great Khan of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, Temujin of the Borjigin clan."
As he spoke, Wang Wenxuan raised his right hand and placed it on the scabbard of the curved sword depicted in the mural.
As Wang Wenxuan applied pressure with his fingers, a gemstone carving the size of a button on the scabbard of the mural sank into the mural.
Then, a wall on the left slowly rotated, revealing a hidden door just big enough for a person to pass through.
"We initially thought we had found a clue, but it turned out to be empty inside."
This mechanism was discovered by the disciples of the Unloading Ridge sect after a thorough search.
The second group had mentioned it when reporting to Cheng Feng and Chen Wenjin, so none of them were surprised.
Wang Wenxuan followed Cheng Feng and entered the hidden door one by one.
"This place is much simpler than the outside; it looks like an unfinished tomb."
After the group entered the dark room, Yang Xueli looked around and then spoke.
As Yang Xueli said, the walls of this tomb chamber had been reserved for murals, but these spaces were currently blank.
Moreover, the surface was not very smooth, with some areas being uneven and bumpy.
Cheng Feng remained silent, simply pacing slowly along the wall, occasionally raising his hand to gently tap it.
Chen Wenjin and Yang Xueli had already given up all hope; the condition of the tomb had already explained everything.
"Old Cheng, why don't we go back to camp first and then discuss the next steps?"
Seeing that Cheng Feng remained silent, Chen Wenjin couldn't help but ask.
Just then, Cheng Feng suddenly stopped, then took two steps back and pointed to the wall in front of him, saying:
"Get the shovel and dig three meters in from here, without any angle, just dig straight through!"
Cheng Feng's words jolted everyone present, and they realized that Cheng Feng must have discovered something.
The disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect obeyed orders and acted accordingly. They had a clear division of labor: some went up to call for help and fetch tools.
Someone began to draw a boundary at the place Cheng Feng pointed to, and everything proceeded in an orderly manner.
The dark room wasn't very spacious, so to avoid interfering with the construction work of the Unloading Ridge disciples, Cheng Feng led the women away from the underground.
After returning to the surface through the tunnel, Huo Ling couldn't wait to ask:
"Master, is there another secret room in the back?"
Cheng Feng's response did not disappoint her:
"Yes, that space is more than three meters away from the dark room we're in; it's a completely separate space."
The middle layer of soil wasn't filled in later; it would be almost impossible for someone else to find it.
With a three-meter-thick layer of soil, it's no wonder the Unloading Ridge disciples didn't notice it; no matter how hard they knocked, they wouldn't hear a sound.
The four goddesses were invigorated. Having found this deeply hidden tomb, even without a coffin inside, they were one step closer to the true location.
Wang Wenxuan, who was following behind the group, looked at Cheng Feng's back with a complicated expression.
He still had some doubts: how could someone discover another space through a three-meter layer of soil?
Just by tapping it a couple of times with your hand?
However, Wang Wenxuan was well-versed in the doctrine of the mean, and even if he had doubts, he would not directly argue with Cheng Feng.
We're just waiting for others to dig up the thickness Cheng Feng mentioned, and then we'll see what the final result will be.
Compared to the campsite where Cheng Feng and his group had stayed before, this place had a more comprehensive selection of supplies.
Since the discovery of this suspected tomb, some of the Unloading Ridge disciples have been stationed here, so there are three felt tents here as well.
The group went into the yurt to rest while waiting for the progress of the excavation work below.
About an hour later, a disciple of the Unloading Ridge sect, looking disheveled, came to inform them that the excavation had been completed and that there really was another space.
"Okay, let's go take a look!"
His initial anxiety turned into joy, and surrounded by the crowd, Cheng Feng returned to the tomb once again.
In the secret chamber, at the location Cheng Feng pointed out, a passage had already been dug out by the disciples of the Unloading Ridge Sect.
You can see that there is a large space on the other side.
"Boss, should I take a few brothers to scout ahead first?"
The elite disciples who led the excavation notified Cheng Feng immediately after it was completed, and they also restrained their men from sending anyone in to check.
It wasn't until Cheng Feng came down that he finally asked a question.
"No need. Leave two brothers here, the rest of you go up!"
At Cheng Feng's command, the brothers of the second group responded without hesitation and then left the tomb in an orderly manner.
After they left, only Wang Wenxuan and Cheng Feng's family remained.
Huo Ling and A Xiang each held a flashlight and shone it into the passage. Then, led by Cheng Feng, the group walked through the more than three-meter-long passage together.
We arrived at the tomb chamber opposite.
'Host detected entering the tomb of Genghis Khan, Temujin. Cleanup mission issued:'
Task 1: Eliminate the Red Hou
Reward: Vermilion Fruit
Task Two: Eliminate the Ghost Mastiffs
Reward: Grass and Tree Collection
Task 3: Remove the non-corrosive bone
Reward: Totem Meditation Method
Cheng Feng pulled his attention away from the task issued by the system, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.
This time the system got a huge windfall: a rare and precious Vermilion Fruit, and a herbal book that identifies the effects of all plants.
Cheng Feng valued the final totem meditation method the most.
The annotations in this system state that this item comes from the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and is one of the broken traditions.
That period was too far in the past, and even though Cheng Feng had his men search as best they could, they still hadn't found any substantial evidence.
The white bird that was brought back from Guixu disappeared after it said it wanted to see the world.
Cheng Feng sometimes wondered if the bird had been shot dead by some sharpshooter.
Now, with all leads exhausted, a breakthrough has finally been achieved through the system.
This made Cheng Feng even more excited. As long as the elimination missions are continuously triggered, the severed inheritance will eventually reappear little by little.
After a moment of distraction, Cheng Feng took a deep breath to calm himself down.
Only then did he raise his eyes to check his surroundings.
This tomb chamber is very large, with a diameter of more than 20 meters, and the whole thing is shaped like an upside-down bowl.
In the center of the circular tomb chamber is an altar, which is a pyramid structure.
However, unlike the square shape of the pyramids, this altar is a large circle containing a smaller circle.
On the small round platform at the very top stands a long spear.
The spearhead has two blades, and right below the spearhead is a disc with a total of eighty-one holes around its circumference.
Strands of white tassels hung down from the eighty-one holes, making the spear look somewhat like a spirit banner.
"Judging from the layout here, it should be a side chamber, but there are no burial objects here, only this altar with a stick stuck in it."
Could it be that we've found another false tomb?
Huo Ling looked at the altar in the center of the tomb chamber and frowned as she spoke.
Huo Ling was a little disappointed that she didn't see the rare treasures and mountains of gold and silver she had imagined.
