The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

"The tomb should be placed below the Minglou, with a minimum distance of 33 meters between the two places and a maximum distance of 108 meters, which should correspond to the Ziwei Doushu of the Thirty-Three Heavens."

.... .. 0

"We are about fifty meters away from Lingyun Heavenly Palace. That means the tomb of King Xian should be right under our feet, no more than sixty meters deep."

.............

After resting for about ten minutes, the effects of the herbal medicine had fully taken hold, and all four of them were in excellent condition. They felt light and agile, their strength had increased, and the swelling in their stomachs had subsided.

Therefore, Fang Yun proposed to everyone:

"I'm a good swimmer, so let me go down and explore first."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Fang. Let's use the rope as the signal: one pull, two pulls."

Partridge Whistle knew Fang Yun's strength well, so he didn't compete with Fang Yun to clear the way. Instead, he and Old Foreigner Hua prepared a safety rope for Fang Yun.

After helping Fang Yun fasten the safety rope, Hua hugged Fang Yun and kissed him on the cheek.

"Fang Yun, be careful. If it's not safe in the water, quickly pull the rope, and my senior brother and I will pull you up right away."

"What could possibly happen? Don't forget I have the precious bloodline protecting me." Fang Yun smiled and rubbed his face, then walked to the edge of the pool and waved to the three of them.

"Go up and down, don't forget, don't pull me up halfway."

After leaving a message, Fang Yun bit a phosphorescent tube and jumped directly into the water.

(The plot has been slightly modified; I hope readers won't criticize too harshly... I will try my best to write it well.)

Chapter Ninety-One: Underwater Passage, Heavenly Gate of the Tomb!

"Grass!"

Fang Yun was stunned as soon as he jumped into the water.

What are you doing holding a phosphorescent tube in your mouth?

He just integrated Night Vision last night! He won't need any light to navigate in the dark anymore... How could he forget that? The author is such an idiot.

Thinking of this, Fang Yun quickly kicked the phosphorescent tube into his arms. To avoid having his eardrums crushed by the force of the surrounding waterfalls, he opened his mouth wide and used all four limbs to dive underwater.

As he descended, Fang Yun also took a moment to glance at the water vent of the water dragon's halo.

This underground water well was likely created by a meteorite impact from outer space, and was only discovered by King Xian after countless years.

The water eye leads to an unknown place. Looking down into the distance, you can see some fish being sucked in by the suction of the water eye. There must be a huge water vein beneath this water eye.

After only a couple of glances, Fang Yun, nicknamed "420," stopped paying attention to the water and instead opened his eyes to carefully scan his surroundings.

The area is surrounded by mountains and cliffs, with aquatic plants and algae growing on the soil and rocks. Many fish play and frolic among the aquatic vegetation in the pool.

"Have it!"

A few seconds later, Fang Yun's eyes lit up.

On the mountain wall to his right, there is a layer of protruding square stones, and on those stones is carved a human eye.

The stone and the man's eye were covered with moss. If he hadn't had exceptional eyesight and night vision, he wouldn't have been able to see the Muchen Pearl relief hidden by the moss.

"The distance between the Ming Tower and the tomb is wrong... We've only descended a little over ten meters."

"Damn... the first hole seems to be fake, no wonder it's so close."

Fang Yun was about to swim over when he suddenly stopped.

This opening is incorrect. Judging from the style and specifications of the tomb, the entrance to the mausoleum could not possibly be so close to the sacrificial tower.

He happened to remember that there were two caves beneath the pool, one leading to the entrance to the tomb and the other to another stone chamber, but he had forgotten what was inside.

After a moment's thought, Fang Yun gave up the idea of ​​going into the cave to explore. Since he knew it was a mistake, there was no need to waste time.

So Fang Yun dived down again.

The deeper you dive, the closer you get to the water's eye, and the stronger the suction you feel. Diving is like walking on the street and having a gale blow in your face.

If Fang Yun hadn't possessed a strong physique, extremely fast limbs, and acquired the skill of a diving expert early on, he might have been sucked into the water eye directly.

After diving down about twenty meters, Fang Yun's expression brightened.

On the mountain wall, only twenty or thirty meters away from the water's eye, there is a stone beam covered with aquatic plants that protrudes from the mountain wall. The stone beam is thick, long and square, and looks like a door lintel.

If nothing unexpected happens, this stone beam will be the roof beam of the tomb passage.

Seeing this, Fang Yun suddenly mustered all his strength, using all four limbs to swim towards the stone beam, resisting the suction of the water eye.

Upon arriving at the stone ridge, one can see that there is indeed a stone gate on the mountain wall below the stone ridge. Previously, the view was blocked by the water plants on the stone gate ridge, which is why the stone gate was not seen.

In the center of the stone gate, there is a relief carving of a Muchen Pearl, surrounded by stone troughs filled with moss.

Upon seeing the design featuring the Muchen Pearl, Fang Yun's lips curled into a smile.

This King Xian really loved the Muchen Pearl. Along the way, he had it engraved in every important place.

Without much thought, Fang Yun hugged the stone beam with both arms, and with a sudden burst of power, kicked the Muchen Pearl mechanism with his right foot.

Click...

As soon as the noise started, the stone door trembled and then slowly descended the moment the machine was kicked.

As the stone gate descended, the surrounding pool water rushed into it, and the powerful force almost caused Fang Yun to hit his chin on the stone beam.

It's clear that the King of Xian's waterproofing measures were quite effective; there wasn't much water behind the stone gate originally.

Fang Yun clung tightly to the stone beam of the stone door until it was halfway open, allowing a person to enter. Only then did he use the force of the surrounding water to swim rapidly inside.

Behind this stone gate is a stone path made of flat, large stones, but the path is extremely narrow, only allowing one or two people to walk at a time, and the entire path runs straight ahead.

The passageway was covered with carvings of auspicious clouds. In addition to these carvings, Fang Yun also saw a mechanism resembling a Muchen Pearl in the passageway, which looked like it was used to open the stone door from the inside out.

It was obvious... that King Xian believed he could ascend to immortality after death, and even if he couldn't, he could use the power of the Muchen Pearl to revive his spirit and body, and live a second life...

Moreover, King Xian was confident that no one could break into this place. After all... King Xian's tomb was said to be impossible to rob. Even the people of Xian, who drew a map on human skin, wrote the words "It cannot be broken unless the heavens collapse" on it.

This is also why King Xian did not seal the stone gate. He did not believe that anyone could rob his tomb, and at the same time, he was worried that he would be imprisoned in the tomb after his rebirth.

However, this was a great convenience for Fang Yun, at least he didn't have to figure out how to break down the door.

After swimming for about fifty or sixty meters after entering the passage, the passage turned again and began to slope upwards. This upward passage was much wider.

After swimming another seven or eight meters upstream, Fang Yun finally broke through the water and took a deep breath. (I won't go into the pressure values, as it would affect the viewing experience.)

As soon as he emerged from the water, Fang Yun was able to see the appearance of the tomb chamber.

The tomb chamber was not large, only about twenty square meters in size. At the end of the slope stood a massive, heavy, bluish-gray door.

Above the giant gate is a gatehouse made of pure copper. The gatehouse has been oxidized for a long time and now looks black. In the center of the gatehouse, there is a small door that can accommodate one person to enter and exit.

This small door is called the Heavenly Gate in tombs. Generally, only those with a Daoist gate will build it in their tombs, implying that they will surely be able to transcend death and become immortals, leaving the Heavenly Gate for their souls to ascend to heaven.

However, King Xian was a heretic who practiced evil... He studied Taoism and cultivated the Heavenly Gate, hoping to achieve immortality through corpse liberation, and probably also had the idea of ​​leaving himself a way out.

It was fortunate that the King of Xian had such a grand daydream; otherwise, it would have taken Fang Yun a lot of effort to break through the two stone gates.

After confirming that this was indeed the tomb of King Xian, Fang Yun took a few breaths and then dived back into the water to swim back.

The water in the dragon's eye has a very strong suction, and it's not easy to dive down. He needs to go up and remind his little wife and her two senior brothers.

After returning to the pool, Fang Yun pulled the rope twice with all his might.

(Please give me flowers, monthly tickets, and review votes~)

Chapter Ninety-Two: Entering the Tomb, Mountains of Gold and Silver!

"Senior brother, why isn't Fang Yun coming up yet..."

On the shore of the pool, Hua gripped the safety rope, her anxiety barely concealed; every second felt like torture.

"Hua, you don't need to worry too much. Brother Fang's martial arts are far superior to ours. Even if we encounter trouble, he can still escape unscathed."

"I suspect that Brother Fang may have found something."

Partridge Whistle soothed Flower's agitation in a low voice, but his expression revealed that he was not as calm as he claimed.

He wasn't really worried about Fang Yun, because he knew Fang Yun wouldn't be stumped by a pool of water, especially since Fang Yun was wearing a safety rope and was just going into the water to find a way out.

His concern was that nothing was found at the bottom of the pool...

If that's the case, then we might have to find a way to carve out the mountainside or blast away the surrounding mountainside.

"To put it optimistically, given Fang Yun's physique... I'd believe it if he said he could hold his breath underwater for a quarter of an hour."

"Maybe they really found something, let's look down..."

The old foreigner echoed his sentiment, but before he could finish speaking, he felt his hand slip.

The safety rope in his hand was pulled out in one section and sank into the pool. At the same time, Partridge Whistle and Flower also saw the movement coming from the safety rope.

19 “Down? This means we have to go down…”

The old foreigner's face lit up with joy, and he turned to look at Partridge Whistle and Flower.

But the next moment, the safety rope sank again, sinking a little deeper into the water.

Seeing this, Partridge Whistle's face darkened, and he coldly shouted, "Up!" After saying that, he suddenly exerted force in his hand and pulled the safety rope back.

Both Lao Yangren and Hua's expressions turned serious, and they began to pull on the safety rope.

Within seconds, the three of them pulled Fang Yun out of the water and then rushed to meet him.
