Unless... Wang Canghai was sure at that time that a woman would come here in the future.

When this thought came up, the idea that had appeared before resurfaced in Chen Ziyan's mind, and became more and more firm.

If what he thought at that time was just a simple guess, now he has some confidence.

Because he knew very well that people like Wang Canghai would never do useless work.

Just as Chen Ziyan was daydreaming, Dong Zhuohua, who had received his instructions, had already started trying it in front of the stone tablet according to his request.

She was seen half-kneeling in front of the stone tablet, slightly sideways, and dressing herself up like an ancient girl in the boudoir.

Dong Zhuohua's behavior instantly attracted the attention of others. She is beautiful herself, and this posture shows off her slim figure. The two combined are very charming and instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.

However, Dong Zhuohua didn't care about it at all. Her expression was as cold as ever, as if she didn't notice the gazes of others.

After pretending to comb his hair a few times, Dong Zhuohua didn't notice anything, so he turned his head slightly and tried again from a different angle.

However, she had just combed her hair twice when her body shook subconsciously. After she came to her senses, she immediately looked at Chen Ziyan and said, "Found it!"

This was a bit confusing to other people, but it was like a thunderclap in Chen Ziyan's ears. He immediately shook off the messy thoughts in his mind and walked to Dong Zhuohua's side: "Are you sure?"

"Yeah." Dong Zhuohua nodded firmly.

However, although she looked calm, she was also a little upset inside. After all, this proved that Chen Ziyan's method was really effective.

Although she had doubts before, this result now undoubtedly shows that even if her guess is wrong, it is very close to the truth.

The conversation between the two men caused the others to be puzzled, but they were quick-witted and soon realized that the problem was with the stone tablet. They immediately gathered around and looked at the stone tablet, but unfortunately they didn't know how to do it, and no matter how they looked, they didn't gain anything.

Chen Ziyan didn't bother with these guys. He immediately asked Dong Zhuohua to continue trying and try to find the way out in one go.

At this time, the other guys came up to him and asked curiously, "Master Chen, what is Sister Dong doing? Can you tell us?"

After trying, they realized that Dong Zhuohua's action might be a prerequisite for some kind of ritual, but they could not and dared not to take someone else's position, so if they wanted to find out what was going on, they had to target Chen Ziyan.

It is not difficult to see from the communication between the two that it was Chen Ziyan who asked Dong Zhuohua to do this.

Chen Ziyan did not hide anything and directly stated the reason he had thought of: "What do you think the words on the stone tablet mean?"

It's not like he hadn't thought about hiding it, but he quickly dismissed the idea because no matter the current attempt or the secret door that would appear later, there was no way to hide it, so Chen Ziyan came up with an excuse.

"That should be a hint." said one of the guys.

If they can't even see this now, then there's no need for them to stay in this business.

"Yes, this is a deliberate hint for those who come after us, and it is also the key for us to move forward." Chen Ziyan nodded.

"Key?" The thoughtful man immediately grasped the key: "Master Chen, you mean that this stone tablet is the key to the door?"

"The scale of the stone tablet is shown here. If the so-called door is not hidden underneath, then it can only provide key clues. What method do you think the builder of this tomb would choose?" Chen Ziyan did not answer, but asked back.

After hearing his question, the guys around him fell into deep thought. If they hadn't encountered the mechanism that kept replacing the tomb chamber, some of them might have chosen the former. However, after experiencing those mechanisms, they felt that the other party would not use such a simple way to arrange the puzzle.

"Mr. Chen, do you think the door is on the wall?" Dong Yanxia asked after understanding what Chen Ziyan said.

As he asked this question, he looked around, but there was fog all around and he couldn't see anything.

The reason why Dong Yanxia was looking around was that he had already checked the rock wall when he was exploring the terrain just now, and found nothing.

Not only Dong Yanxia thought so, others also had similar ideas.

Because after they had experienced the numerous traps before, they all subconsciously believed that there were traps hidden here as well, so they all checked the rock wall.

"You mean to say that we have just checked it, right?" Chen Ziyan took the initiative to say before they could say it.

In fact, he also thought that it was because his temporary assistants lacked knowledge of mechanical engineering that they failed to find the secret door hidden in the rock wall.

But just now he suddenly thought of something, that is, the surrounding rock walls seem to be fixed, but in fact they are not. In fact, the surrounding rock walls are moving silently all the time.

It's just that because the movement was slow and silent, and covered by fog, it was not noticed.

"Yeah, even if some of us are not good enough, it doesn't mean that all of us are unskilled."

"That's not the case. You are just confused by your own situation." Chen Ziyan explained, "Most of the mechanisms in the world are based on ingenuity, but do you realize that the mechanisms here are the opposite?"

"Do the opposite..." Dong Yanxia might have some knowledge of mechanical devices. After Chen Ziyan's reminder, he immediately realized something: "Master Chen, are you saying that we are already inside the device?"

"That's right." Chen Ziyan nodded: "I just realized that the bottom of the pool below is a complete mechanism. We don't seem to find anything unusual, but that's because we are already in the trap and can't perceive the changes around us."

"So the surrounding rock walls were constantly moving, so we didn't notice the problem?"

Now that things have been said, the guys around here don't know what's going on.

In fact, it is difficult to figure out this kind of thing by yourself, but after some guidance, it is not difficult to figure it out.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's give it another try." One of the guys suggested immediately.

Judging from his posture, he wants to put his idea into action immediately.

"Don't worry."

However, as soon as he opened his mouth to say this, he was stopped by Chen Ziyan.

Then Chen Ziyan explained:
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a Qimen Dunjia Bureau. We can only leave through the Shengmen. So it's useless to just find the secret door. We have to find the right one."

He had anticipated the guys' reaction, so he stopped them immediately. If it was so easy to leave, it would be underestimating Wang Zanghai's ability.

In any case, Chen Ziyan didn't think that this method could be used to find the exit.

This is why he had to explain. If he didn't explain things clearly, it might be okay if someone opened the door for other people, but if someone accidentally opened the dead door, it would be bad if it affected him.

"Qi Men Dun Jia... there are eight gates: Kai, Xiu, Sheng, Si, Jing, Shang, Du, and Jing. The Sheng Gate is life, and the Si Gate is death. If you enter any other gate, you will see eight gates again, and it will repeat over and over again. You must find the Sheng Gate first."

There was a guy in the team who had relevant knowledge, and he immediately shared what he knew.

In fact, the basic knowledge about the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu is widely circulated. After all, many people and events in history can be related to it.

What is truly secret is the knowledge about its principles, how to use it, etc. These are the real veil of mystery.

"I seem to have found a way out."

Just then, Dong Zhuohua's voice rang out, interrupting the conversation.

Everyone looked over at the same time. As soon as they mentioned the word "life", this elder sister found it.

Without paying attention to the others, Dong Zhuohua looked at Chen Ziyan:

"I found an angle. As long as I keep this angle, a faint mark will appear on my temples in the reflection of the stone tablet. It is three fish connected head to tail. And every once in a while, the mark will become clearer. At that time, the mark should be at the corresponding life gate."

Although Chen Ziyan did not tell her much about the inside story, she had rich experience herself, so it was not difficult for her to guess it.

Dong Zhuohua guessed that there should be a mechanism inside the stone tablet in front of her that could keep the same rotation speed as the surrounding rock walls, so when the mark in the reflection became clear, it meant that the door to life appeared behind her.

"Very good." Chen Ziyan knew that Dong Zhuohua was capable, otherwise he would not have chosen her to do this. She was not the only woman in the team, but he did not expect that the other party would find the way out so quickly.

"Let's try again. This time we will cooperate and try to directly lock the location of the escape route." Chen Ziyan said hurriedly after being surprised.

He asked Dong Zhuohua to continue observing the marks in the reflection, while the other half sent people to the other side of the rock wall.

Because they knew that the rock wall was constantly moving, this time they did not move together like last time, but instead dispersed in groups of two or three.

After getting out of the misunderstanding, the whereabouts of the secret doors could no longer be hidden and were soon locked down one by one.

Then the guys started to locate the secret doors one by one, using the searchlight beam as coordinates. When they saw the mark in the reflection of the stone tablet overlap with the light, Dong Zhuohua in front of the stone tablet immediately reminded: "This is it!"

After hearing her voice, everyone immediately went towards the location where the light was on. The leading guy had already pushed open the secret door.

The so-called secret door is a rotating brick door. It is easy to hide because it is surrounded by fog. Moreover, the secret door is extremely narrow and can only accommodate one person passing sideways.

The passage at the back is better. Although it is only wide enough for one person, there are no restrictions on movement.

This passage is also made of Qinggang stone, which blends with the deep darkness, giving people a green and gloomy feeling, and a sense of coldness and loneliness arises spontaneously.

The group did not delay too long outside and quickly lined up to enter the secret passage.

After walking in this narrow secret passage for a minute, Chen Ziyan could feel that their direction began to tilt. After walking up for a distance, a light appeared in front of them.

The light is dim and not very bright, but it gives people an unusual feeling of warmth, which makes people yearn for it.

When Chen Ziyan and the others saw this, they knew that they were about to reach the end of the secret passage.

The group immediately quickened their pace, and sure enough, they arrived in front of the light not long after.

After making sure there was no danger outside, Chen Ziyan and the others left the secret passage. When they were truly in the light, everyone felt dazed.

What appeared in front of them at this moment was a huge room. The room was square in shape, but that was not the point. The most shocking thing was the layout inside, which could not be described as magnificent, but extremely luxurious, luxurious to the point of being overbearing.

I saw that the entire room was made of yellow bricks, and there were carved toad paintings on the beams ten feet long. There were ten five-clawed golden dragons alone, and it was so magnificent that it was hard to describe.

On each side of the room, there are ten whole golden nanmu pillars. These pillars look so big that three people can hardly hug them, like the legendary pillars supporting the sky.

On top of the ten-meter-high top of the pagoda, there is an inlaid map of fifty stars. Each star on it is a dazzling night pearl. Each of these night pearls is the size of a goose egg and is emitting a faint yellow light.

Chen Ziyan also noticed that there was a large mirror placed in every corner of the room. These mirrors refracted the light in the room, so that the entire space was illuminated.

To be honest, this was a little beyond his expectations. When he first entered this space, Chen Ziyan thought that a special light was lit.

After all, this tomb must be hundreds of years old, and it can still provide lighting until now. Only the lamp oil in the legend can have this ability.

But I didn't expect it to be done in this way, but this is more in line with Wang Canghai's style.

But these are not the most shocking things. What really makes people unable to take their eyes off is the thing in the center of the room.

There is a giant stone plate with a magnificent palace model on it. Although it is just a model, it has all the necessary features such as dragon towers, treasure halls, rockery and flowing water, just like a scaled-down version of the real thing.

When the guys saw the palace model, they were shocked and couldn't help but let their imagination run wild.

Because it was not the first time they saw this palace. They had seen it once on the murals inside the ship coffin.

However, they have not yet thought that this magnificent palace really exists, and they thought that the model in front of them was described on the coffin.

In fact, it is understandable if you think about it. After all, there is no such palace in reality, so it can only be a model.

"Master Chen, this should be the heavenly palace mentioned on the stone tablet, right?" A waiter looked at Chen Ziyan and asked.

"It looks like it should be." Chen Ziyan nodded slightly.

He knew that this was just a model of the real Yunding Palace, but there was no need to tell others about this, so he immediately agreed with the other party. (End of this chapter)
