Tomb raiding: It all started with the kidnapping of Yin Xinyue

Page 146

Only Partridge Whistle, Li Xiaohu, and his pack of nimble cats remained on the steps.

Partridge Whistle first retrieved the Sky-Piercing Rope, then tied it around the steps in a special knot.

"Brother Xiaohu, you go down first." Partridge Whistle planned to cover the rear.

Li Xiaohu nodded and first lowered the spirit cat and Little Wukong, who were tied together, down with a rope.

Then he slowly climbed down the rope by himself.

After sensing the signal from the rope on the steps, Partridge Whistle wrapped the Sky-Piercing Rope around his waist.

Then his brows furrowed!

Without hesitation, he jumped into the abyss!

I thought it would decline for a long time.

Unexpectedly, his feet touched the ground after only five or six seconds.

Beside him were Li Xiaohu and the others holding torches, all looking at him with smiles on their faces.

Partridge Whistle said with some surprise, "Only this much depth?"

According to his estimate, it was only about eight or nine zhang deep.

He soon realized that Li Xiaohu and the others couldn't hear what he was saying, and gestured that there was no sound.

However, it seems that those special light-absorbing stones are no longer available here.

The torches in Li Xiaohu's hands illuminated the area brightly.

This is a very spacious circular cave.

It must be at least several hundred meters in diameter, stretching as far as the eye can see.

But it was still dark above them, and the firelight couldn't penetrate.

Partridge Whistle nodded to indicate that he understood.

Then he grabbed the sky-piercing rope with one hand and swung it rhythmically.

soon.

The rope tied to the steps untied its special knot and fell down from the sky, where it was retrieved.

Li Xiaohu chose a direction and led the group forward.

Fortunately.

At the end of his direction, there was a cave entrance.

Several people crawled through the hole.

We arrived at another natural cave.

The space at the entrance is not large.

It seems to be one of the countless intricate caves beneath the Dragon Ridge Mystery Caves.

We just entered the cave.

"You scoundrel." Yin Xinyue noticed a pattern on the wall and pointed it out, "Look here."

Li Xiaohu and his companions followed the direction they were looking.

I saw a pattern that resembled the Bagua (Eight Trigrams).

However, each edge of the Bagua is drawn in a segmented, broken manner, which together form a circle.

"Could it be the Suspended Soul Staircase?"

Jin Suanpan guessed.

Then everyone counted and found that there were 364 sides to the Bagua, which was exactly the same as the number of steps on the Suspended Soul Ladder!

"It really is the Suspended Staircase."

The old foreigner suddenly said jokingly,

"To be honest, Li Chunfeng is quite an interesting person."

"You like to give me riddles, but then save the answer for last. Wouldn't it be pointless to tell me then?"

Li Xiaohu smiled noncommittally after hearing this.

Now let's go back to the Suspended Staircase.

"Actually, the structure of the Suspended Staircase is not the Bagua (Eight Trigrams); it should be like this."

As he spoke, he drew a horizontal "8" on the wall.

He then explained, "The structure of the Suspended Staircase is very ingenious."

Asking for flowers

"Its steps appear to be descending one step at a time, but in fact, the whole structure is tilted upwards at a very subtle angle."

"It's like this."

Another symbol similar to "//////" was drawn to provide an explanation.

Then a ring like "8" is formed, with the beginning and end connected.

"Then you will never reach the end."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in sudden understanding.

"I see."

Jin Suanpan exclaimed in admiration, "In that case, it makes sense."

"Little Tiger is really amazing. You managed to see through such a complicated design."

Li Xiaohu gave an awkward smile and said, "Let's keep going."

The group continued deeper into the cave.

Yin Xinyue suddenly leaned close to Li Xiaohu and whispered:

"The thing you're talking about, I think I heard a foreigner mention a similar ring when I was at a restaurant before."

"What's your name...?"

She couldn't remember for a moment.

"A Möbius strip," Li Xiaohu said, giving the answer.

Yin Xinyue looked at him with curiosity and exclaimed in surprise, "You actually know about foreign things?"

Li Xiaohu asked with a hint of smugness, "You've been following me for so long, why do you still look so surprised?"

"Isn't it normal that I know these childish things?"

Yin Xinyue pulled at her cheeks, feigning disdain, and said, "Pretentious..."

However, she was indeed very surprised.

Because Li Xiaohu always manages to redefine her understanding of him.

Despite the incredibly complex structure of the Suspended Staircase, he could see through its underlying principles at a glance.

He was nothing more than a tomb raider.

Where did you get so much knowledge from? And how did you come to know it so clearly?

Regarding Li Xiaohu's experience.

Yin Xinyue was becoming increasingly curious.

The group had only been gone a short while.

Jin Suanpan suddenly stopped and said in confusion, "Strange."

"What's wrong, senior brother?" Li Xiaohu stopped and asked.

"What's going on over there?" Jin Suanpan pointed to a cave wall.

Everyone looked up.

The wall was covered with uneven stones, like an unfinished sculpture, only just beginning to take shape.

The point is.

Each stone is painted with a cloud and thunder pattern.

Jin Suanpan asked, expressing his doubt: "We can now be completely certain."

"This is Li Chunfeng's tomb."

"But why are there traces of another Western Zhou tomb here?"
