Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

Chapter 392 To Protect Cultural Relics

During this long journey, they will face countless difficulties and challenges, but the faith in their hearts has never wavered. They walked through grasslands and climbed mountains, and finally, they saw an ancient castle. The walls of the castle are tall and solid, exuding a mysterious atmosphere. Chu Tian knew that they were one step closer to their goal. But he also knew that there might be greater dangers hidden in this castle. They must carefully explore this castle and look for clues to the ancient tomb. Everyone stood in front of the castle, full of tension and expectation. They didn't know what they would encounter in this castle, but they were ready to meet any challenge. Chu Tian took a deep breath and led everyone into the castle. The gate of the castle was closed, but they found a side door that could enter the castle. They carefully pushed open the side door and walked into the castle. The interior of the castle was dark and damp, filled with an old atmosphere. They walked carefully, paying attention to the movements around them. Suddenly, they heard a sound of footsteps. Everyone's heart tightened, they knew that something was approaching them. Chu Tian raised his sword, ready to meet the upcoming challenge.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and everyone's heart was in their throat. Chu Tian held the sword tightly, staring sharply at the direction where the sound came from. The beast also crouched down vigilantly, and let out a low roar from its throat.

After a while, a figure slowly walked out of the darkness. Everyone looked closely and found that it was an old man in worn-out armor. The old man had a weathered face, but his eyes revealed a kind of determination and wisdom.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" The old man's voice was hoarse and powerful.

Chu Tian took a step forward and said respectfully: "Senior, we are a group of adventurous people, looking for the secret of an ancient tomb. We came here by accident, I wonder if you can give us some advice?"

The old man narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Chu Tian and the others. "Ancient tomb? That's not a good place. It's full of dangers and unknowns. Why are you looking for it?"

Chu Tian said sincerely: "We are here to protect cultural relics and uncover the truth of history. We know that the journey will be full of difficulties and obstacles, but we are determined."

The old man was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about something. Finally, he slowly said: "Since you are so persistent, I will give you some hints. This castle was once a fortress guarding the ancient tomb. There may be some clues about the ancient tomb hidden inside. But you must be careful, there are many dangers in the castle."

After saying this, the old man turned and left, disappearing into the darkness.

Chu Tian and the others looked at each other, feeling both excited and nervous. They knew that the appearance of the old man brought them new hope, but the danger in the castle also made them dare not take it lightly.

They carefully explored the castle. The passages inside the castle were intricate and the walls were engraved with ancient patterns and words. As they walked, they carefully observed these patterns and words, hoping to find clues about the ancient tomb.

After walking for a while, they came to a hall. In the center of the hall was a huge stone platform, on which was placed an ancient book. Chu Tian walked forward and gently opened the book. The words on the book were ancient and obscure, but Chu Tian could barely understand some of them with his knowledge and experience.

This book seemed to be a record of an ancient tomb, which mentioned the location, structure, and some dangerous traps of the ancient tomb. Chu Tian was overjoyed, and he quickly asked everyone to come together to study the contents of the book.

During the research, they discovered that the entrance to the ancient tomb was underground in the castle, but to find the entrance, they had to solve a series of puzzles and mechanisms.

Everyone began to look for clues in the hall, trying to solve these puzzles and mechanisms. They felt around the walls and the ground, hoping to find some hidden switches or clues.

After some effort, they finally found a button hidden in the wall. Chu Tian carefully pressed the button, and the floor of the hall suddenly began to vibrate. Then, a huge trap door slowly opened, revealing a passage leading to the underground.

Everyone was very excited, they knew they were getting closer and closer to the entrance of the ancient tomb, but they also knew that there might be more dangers hidden in the passage.

They walked into the passage carefully. There was a damp smell in the passage, and faint lights flickered on the walls. They walked slowly along the passage, keeping alert at all times.

After walking for a while, they came to a fork in the road. There were three passages at the fork, each leading to a different direction. Everyone was confused again, not knowing which passage to choose.

Chu Tian carefully observed the three passages. He found that the passage on the left looked narrower, and there were some strange symbols on the wall; the passage in the middle was wider, but filled with a mysterious atmosphere; the passage on the right was darker and seemed to have nothing special.

After some thought, Chu Tian decided to choose the passage on the left. He thought those strange symbols might be some kind of clue that might lead them to find the entrance to the ancient tomb.

Everyone followed Chu Tian into the passage on the left. There were indeed many strange symbols and patterns in the passage. As they walked, they carefully studied these symbols and patterns. After some effort, they finally cracked the meaning of these symbols and found the right direction.

At the end of the passage, they found a huge stone door. The stone door was engraved with complex patterns and exuded a powerful aura. Chu Tian knew that behind this stone door was probably the entrance to the ancient tomb.

They began to look for a way to open the stone door. After careful observation, they found a small hole next to the stone door, and the shape of the small hole was very similar to a key they found in the castle. Chu Tian took out the key and carefully inserted it into the small hole.

As the key was inserted, the stone door slowly opened. An old and mysterious atmosphere came over them, and everyone's hearts were filled with tension and anticipation.

They walked into the stone gate and saw a huge tomb. The walls of the tomb were inlaid with various gems, emitting a dazzling light. In the center of the tomb, there was a huge sarcophagus, which was engraved with mysterious patterns and words.

Chu Tian and others approached the sarcophagus cautiously. They knew that the sarcophagus might hide the secrets of the ancient tomb. But they also knew that opening the sarcophagus might lead to unexpected dangers.

Chu Tian took a deep breath, slowly stretched out his hand, and prepared to open the lid of the sarcophagus. Just as his hand was about to touch the lid, a low roar suddenly sounded in the tomb.
