Seeing that Lin Yi was already far away, Elder Yu pulled his eyes back unwillingly and followed.
As far as he was concerned, Lin Yi was a careful man. Since Lin Yi was sure that there was nothing left, there was no point in looking. Plus, he didn't know much about antiques, and he felt that the male thief should be more professional than he was.
"There's a stone door in front, and after opening it, it should be the path to the main tomb, but there might be danger in there." Old Hei shone his flashlight not far away. "These things at the door are obviously prepared for normal tomb robbers."
"Prepared my ass, it's for the dead, right?" Lin Yi said faintly. "The flying sparrow was almost smashed to death. Plus, the entrance to the tomb can only go down, not up. Normal tomb robbers wouldn't be able to get out after taking these things."
Old Hei paused, but nodded. Lin Yi's words made sense- the tomb robbers that could come here weren't simple people. How could there be any normal tomb robbers here? These things at the door were just triggers for the mechanism, and they weren't very valuable. Even if they were broken, it wouldn't be a waste.
"The stone door is the same as before, it's still a password lock, but my tools are all broken. It'll be very hard to open this door." Old Hei looked at the door. "Elder Yu, do you have any good ideas?"
"What good ideas can I have?" Elder Yu said. "I don't know about these things."
"You came here, and you're just a piece of trash. You still want this and that." Lin Yi said faintly. "If I'm not wrong, the password for this door should be the same as the one before. Tomb robbers who can come here are all masters, and it's only a matter of time for them to crack a mechanism like this. Even if they don't have the equipment, they can solve it with patience, so the designer wouldn't spend too much effort on this."
What Lin Yi said was actually what Bojia's data- as far as he was concerned, if there was a password in the tomb, then the password should be the same.
"Oh?" Blackie paused. "I'll try."
Blackie was the one who cracked the password, so he had a deep impression of it. He moved the roulette on the stone door according to the previous set of numbers. Soon, there was a crisp click, and the stone door opened.
Blackie looked at Lin Yi with admiration. "You're really experienced."
"Let's not talk too much. Everyone, be careful. There might be more traps here." Lin Yi glanced at the corridor behind the stone door and said.
For some reason, Lin Yi kept feeling that there was a faintly discernible dangerous aura inside, but the jade pendant didn't give him any warning. In other words, this dangerous aura wouldn't be dangerous if he didn't do anything, but if he triggered some major mechanism, there might be great danger.
Lin Yi's words made Elder Yu, who was about to walk in first, retract his feet immediately. He looked at the group warily. "You guys go first!"
Lin Yi didn't even bother looking down on Elder Yu's cowardice. He'd never seen a practitioner so afraid of death.
Lin Yi, on the other hand, didn't mind. He walked straight in, noticing that the hallway was different from before. There weren't any treasure chests or cabinets on either side of the hallway. Instead, there were doors on both sides of the stone walls at regular intervals.
"This is the main tomb. The rooms on both sides should be the funerary collection rooms and so on. The owner of this tomb was obviously a scholar, so the tomb was very practical. A few collection rooms should be enough for the owner of the tomb to rest in peace after his death. There's no need for the extravagance of an emperor's tomb." Old Hei said to Elder Yu as they walked. "The things we want should be in these rooms."
"Alright, let's open it!" Elder Yu nodded and pointed at the first room.
The stone doors here didn't have a password, and could be opened directly. But Elder Yu didn't want anything unexpected to happen, and naturally, he wouldn't open the door himself.
Old Black gloomily opened the stone door. Nothing strange happened, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
The room was huge, but there weren't many things inside. There was only one shelf with some bronze and porcelain items. However, the things inside made Old Hei and Xiaoke's eyes light up!
Lao Hei quickly ran over and looked at the items on the shelves. His face was filled with greed and shock. In the eyes of a discerning person like Lao Hei, he could determine the value of these items at a glance. Each one of them was a priceless treasure!
"This bronze cauldron should be from the Spring and Autumn Period …" Old Hei looked at the cauldron on the shelf. "Also, it should be a royal item, there's a mark here …"
"I only want money!" Xiaoke looked at the things on the shelf. They were all rare treasures, but to her, they were useless!
"You're not taking any of these?" Old Hei frowned. There were too many things here, and he couldn't take too much by himself. Now that they were in the tomb, he didn't know how to get out. Not only would it be hard for him to move around, but the porcelain items would break easily. It was a classic case of biting off more than he could chew. So, Old Hei only wanted to take a few things that were easy to carry. That cauldron was an antique with a sky-high price. If he did it right, it could easily sell for over a hundred million in an auction.
"I can't get rid of it even if I take it." Xiaoke shrugged.
"Alright, I'll give you the ten percent I promised you." Old Hei sighed and decided not to go back on his words. The male thief wasn't a good person, and Xiaoke had been very useful along the way, so he'd rather give her ten percent of the profits. The problem was, how were they going to get out of the tomb now?
It was obviously unrealistic to go back the way they came. Not to mention that the ground above had merged, even if it hadn't, it would still be difficult to climb up. The entire passage was a huge "S" shape, and the stone walls were smooth enough to be used as a slide. When they fell, they didn't feel any obstruction when they bumped into the stone walls. It could be said that this kind of place was easy to go down, but difficult to climb up, unless they had something like a suction cup. But this roundabout route, if they didn't rely on gravity to slide down naturally, how long would it take to climb up?
