The iron gate slowly opened in front of us, and we looked at me and I looked at you, but we didn't dare to go down for a while.

Since it was a person sent by Chunting to conduct excavation, it would be a bit unreasonable not to tell him. I asked Xue Nan to go and notify Chunting of the discovery. After waiting for a while, Chunting came. What puzzled me was that such a major discovery was not at all happy, as if all this was taken for granted.

"Will you go on now or wait?"

I asked Chunting, after all, this is his territory, and he also found the excavators. It can be said that without him, we would not be able to discover the secret under the leader.

"If you want to go down, go back if you don't want to go down. Don't ask me, you are the only one who is destined, and you will be your own heart."

Chunting looked at me and said carelessly.

After thinking about it, since things have come to this point, no matter what is under the iron gate, I finally have to face it. Chunting looked at my eyes and understood my thoughts. He asked the digger to guard the entrance outside. I took a deep breath and was the first to walk into the world under the iron gate. After walking a few steps, Xue Nan pulled him behind her. She said that if it was a tomb, there would be mechanisms. If it was a very sensitive person, if there was a real accident, she would react faster than me. Although I was unwilling to let a woman stand in front of me, but I had nothing to say, so I had to retreat behind her and continue moving forward.

It was important. The excavators stayed outside to guard the place, and did not come together. There were only five people entering here. Xue Nan was at the front of the team, and Sun Zhen and I followed closely behind. Chunting was in the middle, and Shen Lang walked at the end of the team. It was also difficult for Shen Lang. He was brave enough to accompany me everywhere. He was jumpy and he was happy to move but not quiet. He looked around and looked around. He didn't know what he encountered. He heard a "bang" above, and the iron gate was closed again.

"What did you do!"

I quickly pulled Shen Lang away and asked him loudly.

"I...I don't know either, so I accidentally touched the wall door and closed it."

Shen Lang said aggrievedly.

Fortunately, others were fine, so they turned around and returned to the iron gate at the entrance with everyone to check. The iron gate was tightly tied and we gathered our strength and did not move at all. It was already at this point, and it was useless to blame Shen Lang. He had to repeatedly emphasize that there must be mechanisms set up by the tomb owner in order to prevent people from robbing the tomb. We opened the iron gate because we cracked the mechanisms on the iron gate. I guess we could not open the brute force when going out. We could only continue moving forward. Don’t touch everything here casually. While exploring the secrets here, we also looked for the mechanisms we had left.

Hold Shen Lang and prevent him from getting too far away from me in case he touched the mechanism in the tomb again. Now Shen Lang is in my heart. His trouble may be higher than this ancient tomb.

Since I couldn't get out, I had to cheer up and explore the depths of the ancient tomb. The world under the iron gate was not the same as I imagined. Although the entrance was closed on its own, the tomb did not feel dull. I looked around with a flashlight and saw a row of grooves on the edge of the steps, and some grease was there in the grooves. These grease reminded me of the legend I had heard. I asked Shen Lang to take out his lighter and ignite the grease on the grooves. As expected, it was the eternal light used in the tomb chamber to illuminate the grease.

"Records of the Grand Historian" records: "The First Emperor succeeded to the throne, passed through Lishan Mountain, and merged with the world... Using mermaid paste as candles, those who have never died for a long time." Later generations said that the use of mermaids' oil as fuel all came from this. Mermaids' nature is evil and can sing charming people. The mermaids' oil paste in the sea not only have a low ignition point, but can burn for several months with just one drop. In ancient times, the grease of the aristocrats used as a ten thousand-year lamp.

After igniting, we saw the grooves on both sides spread like fire dragons. In front of us was a downward staircase. At the end of the staircase, there seemed to be a statue. Because the distance was too far and I couldn't see clearly, I had reached this point. There was no other way except to move forward. Take a deep breath and continue moving forward.

It seems that we are not far from the statue disease, and we should be able to arrive soon. However, the old saying often says that we run to the mountain and die. After we moved forward for a long time, we felt that there was no progress at all. Xue Nan and Chunting were fine, and the rest were a little tired, and they squatted in place to rest. At this moment, Shen Lang pulled me and shouted.

"Look, you guys!"

I looked closely and it turned out to be a cigarette butt.

Since it is an ancient tomb, there will definitely be no cigarettes. Have torch robbers found this place before us?

"No, I left this cigarette butt."

Shen Lang was shocked and said nothing. I asked him to calm down and carefully talk about what was going on.

Shen Lang told us that he accidentally encountered the mechanism and felt full of grievance. He smoked a cigarette on the spot, and then threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on us to move forward. Everyone was tired just now. He squatted on the ground and suddenly saw the cigarette butt thrown away at the entrance in front of him. He was so scared that he shouted excitedly.

"Brother Chuan, have we encountered a ghost and hit a wall?"

Shen Lang was so scared that hesitant that hesitated to me.

The saying of ghosts hitting the wall has existed since ancient times. The so-called ghosts hitting the wall means that when walking at night or in the suburbs, they cannot tell the direction and do not know where to go, so they always go around in the same place. When telling others such experiences, it is difficult for others to understand, so it is called ghost hitting the wall.

“There are no ghosts here.”

Chunting said quietly.

In the tomb, the sayings of ghosts and gods are more scary than usual. When he heard Chunting say this, Shen Lang seemed to have found confidence and came to Chunting to ask him how he knew.

"There are absolutely no ghosts here, if there are ghosts, I can feel them!"

Chunting looked around and spoke seriously.

After hearing Chunting's words, I was stunned. If the sayings of ghosts and gods are believed, there will be no one. If the idealism and materialism have been disputed for a long time, how can Chunting confirm whether there are ghosts here?

Shen Lang had already arrived at Chunting. After hearing this, he quietly stayed away, hid behind me, and talked to himself.

"This guy is scarier than a ghost."

Chunting ignored Shen Lang's words and carefully looked at the grooves on both sides and the steps under his feet. Suddenly, when I saw him laughing, I hurriedly asked him what he had found.

"Han Chuan, although you haven't traveled thousands of miles, you have been a person who has read thousands of books. He is well-informed. Can't you see the mystery here?"

Chunting looked at me, his words were not as serious as ridicule, but I really couldn't understand why we returned to our original place after walking for so long.

"Look at how many layers of this step are."

The Chunting Pavilion is next to it, as if it is intentional.

The steps are down, and there is a platform every time I pass by. I thought it was for people to rest, but suddenly I thought that since this is a tomb, why should I build a platform for people to rest? Does the tomb owner want others to come here to rest?

One, two, three...twenty-two, twenty-three.

After checking carefully, there will be a platform on every twenty-three floors of the steps. Although you can't see the steps in the distance clearly, it should be the same.

"You've read the books and saw the dog's belly. I still couldn't imagine that the 23rd floor of the steps."

Chunting said coldly, although the words were indecent, I could not hear ridicule from his tone, and it was more like an elder who saw his child being unscrupulous.

"Come and take a look here."

Chunting pulled me and let me see it as the edge of the steps. The steps were carved from bluestone. The drop between the two steps was very small. At the edge of the steps, where Chunting's fingers, I saw a crescent-shaped mark and looked at other steps. There was a small crescent-shaped mark on the edge of all the steps.

Twenty-third floor, crescent moon...

I suddenly realized that this place was actually the soul-hanging ladder!

Chunting showed a childish expression. When Shen Lang heard that I knew what was going on, he hurried over and grabbed me and asked me what the soul ladder was.

On the hanging soul ladder, don’t ask about the return date.

The Suspension Soul Ladder is actually a powerful mechanism. It is said that it has been used in some secret rooms. This mechanism requires the cooperation of walls, steps, light and phantoms, etc. to achieve it. However, it has been lost for a long time. The purpose of using the Suspension Soul Ladder is to confuse people, make people unable to find the right direction, unable to find the exit, and think that the direction you are heading is the right one, but in fact it has deviated from the direction long ago.

The hanging soul ladder is usually twenty-three, and each step is marked with crescent-shaped marks. These marks are to guide the wrong direction. The marks are actually gradually deviating from the steps. In addition, these steps and stone walls are painted with a light-absorbing paint made with ancient secret recipes, making it difficult to identify the direction. In order to achieve the desired effect, the height length of each step is precisely calculated. The height of the steps is very small, and the purpose is to make people feel illusioned. When passing through the steps, it feels like they are walking in a straight line, but they are actually walking in a curve, and they will lose their sense of direction as they walk.

"Han Chuan, since you know this is the Soul-Suspension Ladder, you must know how to get out."

Xue Nan looked at me and was inevitably excited. He said, no matter how strong it was, he was a girl after all, who would like to stay in such a place?

"I have no idea."

I have only seen records about the Suspension Soul Ladder in ancient books, but after all, this is mostly done by the emperor's tombs, so how can I write it in detail in the book and how to crack it?

Everyone turned from excitement to loss, and what is the use of not being able to go out to know the principle?

Chunting's reaction was different from everyone else. He leaned against the wall on both floors of the steps, hugged his shoulders, and said to me carelessly.

"I have said that there are no ghosts here. The Soul-Suspension Ladder is just a simple visual illusion. Does this make you lose confidence?"

"Brother Ting, do you know how to crack the Suspension Soul Ladder?"

Seeing his calm reaction, I asked tentatively.

Hearing my words, Chunting seemed to hear something amazing. He looked at me with a weird expression. After a long time, he finally couldn't help laughing.

"Brother Ting, Brother Ting, you will call me brother one day, hahahaha, for this call, I will take you there!"
