[Grave Raiders Notes bg] Lost Notes 2: Heavy Fate

"Nan Xing! Where are you!"

Zhang Yuetong's voice echoed in the tomb. She knelt on the spot and faced the direction of the falling coffin. Her voice had broken down: "Nan Xing!! If it's safe, knock on the coffin and answer me!"

"Sister Yuetong, wait a minute." Zhang Haiyin patted Zhang Yuetong on the shoulder.

Zhang Yuetong turned his head abruptly, "What's the matter?"

Zhang Haiyin pointed to a corner of the tomb, her face turned slightly pale: "There seems to be a gap, and water is seeping in."

Turning the flashlight around, Zhang Yuetong saw a gap in the wall of the tomb in the corner, and at some point, the water from the underground river was gradually spreading into pieces, tearing open the not-so-big gap. , and finally turned into a waterfall rushing down.

With the influx of water, the clouds and mists surrounding the tomb gradually dissipated as if absorbed by the water, and the situation under the clouds gradually became clear.

Under the clouds is not the bottomless pit as imagined, but an unfathomable pool can be vaguely seen. The waterfall-like water on the wall of the tomb rushes down, crashes into the deep pool, and splashes everywhere.

And the copper coffin just now is equivalent to an "elevator" that enters the bottom of the pool. The real secret of this tomb must be hidden at the bottom of the deep pool.

The depth of the pool is unpredictable, and the copper coffin itself is very heavy, and the force of falling into the water is extremely great. The huge impact force makes people feel as if their internal organs are about to be turned out.

Fortunately, the water in the pool was deep enough. Although the force of falling into the water was great, there was still a long buffer distance. After sinking for a while, there was a dull bottoming sound from under the feet, and the copper coffin had reached the bottom of the deep pool.

At this time, the coffin board at the bottom suddenly opened to both sides, revealing a dark tomb passage under the coffin.

The tomb passage was completely sealed by the water. Zhang Qiling and Nan Xing swam in one after another without delay. It was dark and cold inside, but fortunately the tomb passage was flat and there were no traps. Presumably, the owner of the tomb was very confident in the traps ahead, thinking that the tomb robbers would not be able to reach here. Therefore, even the most basic sealing stone of the tomb passage was not set.

The two swam toward the depths for about half an hour, and through the faint green light of the flashlight behind the tarp, they saw an upward underwater ladder in front of them.

Going up the stairs, they soon reached the surface of the water. As soon as they got out of the water, they saw a natural cave in front of them. The whole cave was integrated, like a huge air bubble in a piece of natural white jade.

Half of the burrow was submerged by hot spring water, and in the middle of the water surface, there was a small island floating. There was a huge black tree growing on the island, and beside the huge tree stood a sundial carved from white stone.

A large hole had been dug in the trunk, and a corpse appeared to be sitting in the hole.

Nan Xingqi said: "There is a legend that there is a black tree that only grows in the valley where the sun never shines. Ordinary trees grow a ring every year, but this kind of tree that does not see the sun only grows a ring in dozens or hundreds of years. Wheel, there is such a big tree here, at least a thousand years old?"

Zhang Qiling looked at the corpse in the tree hole and nodded: "This tree is the real coffin of the owner of the tomb, and it is used to keep the corpse from decaying for thousands of years."

After a little adjustment, the two of them swam towards the island.

The light of the flashlight had already begun to dim. In order to save the battery in case of emergency, the two extinguished the flashlight, lit candles and walked towards the tree hole.

Looking closer, apart from the lack of blood, the body's skin and hair are all well preserved. Although it has been shriveled for a long time, it can still be seen from the bones that it was originally a young and handsome youth.

"The Zhang family." Zhang Qiling's eyes fell on the strangely long fingers on the corpse's right hand.

Nan Xing also held up the candle and looked down, only to see that the corpse was holding a long, gloomy wooden box in both hands, and beside the corpse, there was actually a candlestick carved in stone.

A trace of doubt flashed in Nan Xing's heart, why did he set up a candlestick here?It was as if, just to wait for someone to arrive.

"In it, it should be the secret hidden in the ancient city of Sizhou and the gloomy wooden box."

"It can't be opened yet," Zhang Qiling said softly, "The weather is right, the location is right, and the people are harmonious."

"Now the location and people are all available. As for the weather, the only thing related to time here is..." Nan Xing said, turning his gaze to the sundial aside.

Nan Xing suddenly thought of something, and put the candle in his hand on the candlestick beside the corpse.

Zhang Qiling asked her: "What time is it now?"

Nan Xing raised his hand and looked at his watch, "45:[-] p.m."

Zhang Qiling pointed to the sundial: "The shadow of the candlelight on the sundial points to four o'clock in the afternoon."

Nan Xing suddenly realized: "In other words, the time will appear in 15 minutes!"

Zhang Qiling put his hand on the box cover in front of him, looked up at Nan Xing, "Time."

When the time pointed to four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Qiling opened the wooden box almost instantly.

Lying inside was a pair of slightly yellowed scrolls.

Zhang Qiling opened the scroll, and the two of them looked at it by candlelight, and cold sweat streamed down Nan Xing's back in an instant.

This is definitely the most subversive thing that Nan Xing has seen in his two lifetimes of memory.

——Because what is recorded in this scroll is the record of the construction process and method of the bronze gate guarded by the Zhang family in the past.

What made Nan Xing even more unbelievable was that it also recorded the origin of the Qilin blood of the Zhang family and the method to complete the Qilin blood exchange.

These two important pieces of information that could change the fate of the Zhang family were so caught off guard by Zhang Qiling and Nan Xing. Nan Xing didn't have time to feel the joy, and the security awareness already engraved in her bones made her vigilant involuntarily.
