Chapter 104

As soon as Lao Qifeng said this, some people's faces turned cold.

This matter is everyone gathering people to enter together; at most, it is a cooperative relationship, so it's your turn to give orders?

It's just that no one spoke to refute, just pretending not to hear. Either standing still, or knocking on the stone wall and checking the traces with their own weapons.

Lao Qifeng was not in a hurry, just watching everyone toss and turn with his arms crossed.

He did have the intention of wanting to compete for the leading position, and the words just now deliberately omitted the polite part.

There is one, there is two, there is two, there is three. As long as everyone follows his words a few more times, the Beggar Gang will naturally become the leader of this matter, which is conducive to the later fight for the Wedding Dress Divine Art.

Moreover, what he said just now was not half a lie. Now in the tomb chamber, there is no way to heaven and no way to enter, no matter how much everyone delays, they will eventually have to do as he said.

However, Li Miao had no patience to accompany these people to play the game of finding mechanisms.

"Let me see," Li Miao said.

After speaking, he stepped forward, walked to the edge of the stone wall, and even said to Lao Qifeng: "Leader Lao, move aside."

Lao Qifeng looked unkind, moved to the side, and watched what kind of moth Li Miao was going to make.

He used his palm to hit the stone wall and stone wall, only to hear that there was a mechanism inside.

But Li Miao's ear skill could eavesdrop on Liu Baiyun and Mei Qinghe talking through two or three layers of door panels. He had long known what the mechanism was roughly shaped like.

Li Miao first scanned up and down, then walked to the edge of the stone wall, raised his hand and punched the wall.

This punch was not heavy, at least in the eyes of everyone, it was just a punch of an ordinary second-rate hard-body expert.

But this move made a movement ten times greater than Lao Qifeng's.

Click—click—

Bang bang bang—

Only hearing a series of sounds from the stone wall, like heavy objects falling, and like the sound of winches and chains rubbing, it stopped slowly after a while.

The stone wall remained motionless.

Lao Qifeng breathed a sigh of relief on the side and said: "Hero Li also understands the art of mechanisms?"

"Slightly understand, slightly understand," Li Miao smiled: "A Jianghu wanderer, used to relying on himself for everything, so I have to know a little bit of everything."

Lao Qifeng turned his head to look at the stone wall, turned to face everyone and said: "Since Hero Li has tried, we don't have anyone who understands the art of mechanisms."

"Everyone, let's do as I said."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a rumbling sound behind him, and everyone's faces changed in unison.

Lao Qifeng turned his head suddenly, but like everyone else, he was stunned and speechless.

Only seeing Li Miao insert one hand into the bottom of the wall, without seeing how he exerted force, he actually "lifted" the stone wall, revealing the dark hole behind it.

That was a bluestone three or four feet thick and a foot wide! Ten thousand catties couldn't stop it!

How did Li Miao lift it like lifting a curtain!

"Hero Li, you, you—"

Li Miao turned his head and smiled: "Ah, everyone doesn't need to be surprised. This stone wall lifted itself up, I just helped a little."

Lifting a giant stone of tens of thousands of catties with brute force, Li Miao couldn't do it either.

His punch just now was the technique of "hitting a cow across a mountain," accurately destroying the "lock" of this stone wall across the wall. And then he lifted it, giving the stone wall an upward trend, triggering the mechanism, and the stone wall naturally rose.

After he said this, everyone's faces calmed down.

Lao Qifeng also hurriedly made up: "Thanks to Hero Li, otherwise we would have to spend more effort."

"Everyone, since the road ahead is open, let's go in quickly."

After speaking, he led everyone into the dark hole.

After everyone went in, Li Miao let go, and with a flash, he appeared inside.

As soon as he let go, there was a loud bang, and the stone wall fell sharply, sealing the retreat.

Everyone's faces changed in unison: "Hero Li, this!"

Li Miao clapped his hands: "Ah, I forgot."

"If this stone wall is not lifted by someone, it will trigger the closing mechanism on its own."

"The mechanism to open the door is outside, I'm afraid we are trapped, this is bad!"

Hearing him say this, everyone was even more panicked.

Lao Qifeng heard Li Miao's relaxed tone and hurriedly asked: "Hero Li, this is not the time for jokes."

"If the retreat is cut off, even if the people outside react and start digging, it won't be dug through in ten days or half a month. We didn't bring food for a few days, even if our internal energy is successful and we can adjust our breath and meditate, we will probably die half of us by then!"

Li Miao waved his hand: "Leader Lao, don't panic."

"Although our retreat is cut off, there is wind faintly ahead."

"There must be a passage ahead, just explore forward as it is."

He did it on purpose.

Although Li Miao understands some mechanism arts, Li Miao is not familiar with grave robbing.

According to everyone's calculations, they would explore forward bit by bit, and if there was a life-threatening danger, they would retreat, and wait until they discussed countermeasures before entering.

But Li Miao had no patience to explore bit by bit with these people. He simply cut off the retreat, forcing these people to explore together.

No matter how high Li Miao's Wu Gong is, he can't be in two places at once. If they encounter situations like needing to explore separate roads, these experts who came in will be useful.

Lao Qifeng heard that Li Miao didn't seem to be joking, and while secretly developing precautions and doubts about Li Miao, he sighed helplessly.

"In that case, we can only walk to the dark on one road."

Everyone nodded, took torches and fire oil from their bags, and illuminated the surroundings.

They were talking just now, relying on a glimmer of light from the cracks in the stone wall. They could only see the movements of the people opposite, and the surroundings were pitch black.

When the fire illuminated the surroundings, everyone gasped in unison.

This place is a relatively narrow alley compared to the outside, all the way down. Relying on the fire, they couldn't see the end.

And on the walls on both sides of the alley, things were embedded, faintly protruding from the wall surface.

Everyone looked closely, and on the wall, there were countless white bones embedded!

Lao Qifeng tried to be calm, stepped forward to check, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Not human, looking at it, it should be the bones of livestock like mice, chickens, and ducks."

While checking, he walked forward two steps, but frowned for a moment.

"No."

"These bones seem to have some doorway."

The Qingcheng sect leader asked: "If Leader Lao has a discovery, please speak directly."

The two don't deal with each other on weekdays, and they argued about the dinner matter last night. But in the current situation, Lao Qifeng couldn't care about competing with him.

"Leader Hao, come and see."

Lao Qifeng greeted, pointing to the wall: "From the stone wall to here, they are all mouse bones."

"Then from here to here, it's fish bones."

"Further back, they are poultry bones like chickens, ducks, and geese. It is distinct in the middle, like arranged from small to large."

Lao Qifeng looked at the deep alley ahead.

"Looking at this distance, this alley is far more than one or two hundred meters."

"If we calculate based on the size changes of these animals and the distance of the wall, I'm afraid there will be a section of bones in the middle that is human-sized."
