Chapter 3330 Shen Tianyu 730
Yan Yan was taken aback by the question, and answered slowly, "Uncle, I'm Yan Yan. I don't know much about this ancient tomb. I'm just guessing based on my intuition, and I might be wrong. This ancient tomb is very complicated, so we'd better be careful."
Qin Lu was half-believing and half-doubting.
He asked, "Were your ancestors tomb raiders?"
Yan Yan shook her head. "No, my family has always run a legitimate business."
"What kind of business?"
Yan Yan remained silent.
Qin Lu wasn't in the mood to pry. He was content as long as Yan Yan wasn't deliberately setting a trap for Qin Heng to harm him.
But this girl shuts up whenever her background is mentioned, which is really suspicious.
If she had amnesia, that would be one thing, but she clearly remembers her family.
Qin Lu and Yan Yan arrived one after the other at the side chamber where Qin Heng was trapped.
He raised his hand and pushed the dark, gloomy tomb wall.
The tomb wall was made of huge stones, thick and heavy. He was always very strong, but no matter how hard he pushed, it wouldn't budge.
They searched all around, but couldn't find a door.
Qin Lu shouted into the wall, "Aheng, Aheng, can you hear Daddy's voice? Daddy's coming to save you!"
No one answered.
Qin Lu was anxious and called out several times, but no one answered.
Shen Tianyu said, "The four of us worked together to push the tomb wall."
Qin Lu, Qin Ye, and Sheng Po responded in unison, placing their palms on the tomb wall.
Shen Tianyu said, "Begin!"
All four exerted their strength simultaneously.
The tomb wall trembled slightly, but remained as solid as a rock. The boulders were held together by something that was even stronger than cement.
Yan Yan kept reminding Qin Lu to be careful, and Shen Tianyu heard her.
He turned to look at the silent Yan Yan, "Guess with your intuition if there are any mechanisms or buttons around here? Mechanisms and buttons use the lever principle, which can leverage small things to make large things."
Yan Yan walked to the tomb wall and said, "I don't know either. Last time, I was just randomly touching the wall and luckily found the mechanism button. We've been looking around for it."
The five people split up and began searching the tomb walls.
As she was searching, Yan Yan suddenly looked up at Qin Ye beside her and shouted urgently, "Grandpa, watch your step!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Ye quickly retreated!
"Boom!"
A large section of the spot where Qin Ye had just been standing collapsed instantly!
Shen Tianyu quickly stepped forward and looked down.
Below was pitch black, with only a few sharp spearheads vaguely visible, pointing straight upwards.
Qin Ye came over and took a look, and gasped in shock. If Yan Yan hadn't reminded him, he would definitely have been seriously injured if he had fallen.
Looking at Yan Yan again, he also felt suspicious.
This girl is too strange.
He had been familiar with various tomb raiding techniques since childhood under the guidance of his adoptive father, Qin Mogeng, and had been to many tombs, but he had never reached her level.
Let alone him, even Qin Mogeng, whose family had been tomb raiders for generations, hadn't developed this kind of keenness.
Qin Ye could only use the fact that girls' intuition is naturally stronger than men's to smooth things over.
The five continued searching for the mechanism button.
Six or seven minutes later, Yan Yan suddenly turned her head and shouted to Shen Tianyu, "Brother Tianyu, come and take a look at this place. It seems to be empty."
Shen Tianyu strode over with his long legs.
Yan Yan raised her hand and tapped that spot.
The wall made two hollow sounds, similar to a popping sound.
Yan Yan knocked elsewhere, where there was a solid, resounding thud.
Shen Tianyu said, "Step back."
Yan Yan quickly ran to the side to hide.
Shen Tianyu took two steps back, then kicked out and struck the hollow spot!
With a loud crash, a huge hole was torn open in the wall!
The hole was just big enough for one person to squeeze in sideways.
Without saying a word, Qin Lu was about to rush in; he desperately wanted to save Qin Heng, and his concern clouded his judgment.
Qin Ye immediately stepped forward to stop him: "Don't rush into such a sealed tomb chamber when it has just been broken open. Take some time to clear the area before going in."
Qin Lu stopped and took a few steps back.
Shen Tianyu looked at Yan Yan, "Is this also your intuition?"
Yan Yan nodded. "This side chamber must also contain burial goods. Since the craftsmen who built the tombs would leave themselves a way out, they would definitely tamper with the side chambers. Wealth is a powerful motivator, and these burial goods were extremely valuable even in this dynasty. Many royal and noble tombs contain not only musical instruments, antiques, and calligraphy and paintings, but also ancient coins and gold and silver jewelry. Those who could build tombs for royal and noble families were not ordinary craftsmen; their wisdom was far superior to that of ordinary people."
She spoke eloquently and logically.
Shen Tianyu felt that the smell had mostly dissipated.
He lifted his leg to step inside.
This side room wasn't the one that trapped Qin Heng, but they had no other choice but to go in first and then look for the entrance.
Yan Yan, her slender body leaning forward hastily, called out to him, "Brother Tianyu, you have Sister Jinzhi, and parents to take care of, and Xianxian is still young. Let me go in. If I'm alright, you can go in. If something happens to me, please go upstairs and tell Grandma Su Hua to thank her for raising us all these years."
Shen Tianyu glanced back at her.
This girl is either extremely sincere or very cunning.
Without saying a word, his slender body flew in.
The room was indeed filled with various burial objects, including a large number of gold artifacts, ancient coins, bronzes, bamboo slips, as well as lamps, incense burners, mat weights, bronze mirrors, ear cups, and so on.
Qin Lu and Qin Ye are also coming in.
Shen Tianyu raised his hand to stop them, "This side room might also have traps. I know light-footed kung fu, so if I trigger a trap, I can protect myself. You guys wait outside first."
Yan Yan peered into the cave, saying as she looked, "There was more than one craftsman who built the tomb. They were wary of each other and would set up traps in secret."
Qin Ye knew that no matter how much these craftsmen schemed, they would hardly survive and would all be killed in the end.
Yan Yan then said to Shen Tianyu, "The two side rooms might be connected. Tianyu, try knocking on the north-south wall."
Shen Tianyu also had the same idea.
He walked to the north wall and raised his hand to tap it.
He tapped a few times, but found it too slow, so he used both hands to test the waters with his internal energy.
Sure enough, they found a hollow spot.
The walls in that area were noticeably less thick than those elsewhere.
Shen Tianyu shouted from behind the hollow wall, "Aheng, can you hear me? Step back a few meters, I'm going to kick the wall."
There has been no response.
Shen Tianyu shouted three times, then took a few steps back, raised his right leg, and kicked the hollow spot!
A deafening roar!
The wall stones are falling apart!
Fearing the stone would hit Qin Heng, he used not only force but also strength in his kick, shattering the stone into dust as it hit the ground.
Dust and powder fell to the ground in a flurry.
Shen Tianyu quickly retreated a few meters.
After the dust had settled, he stepped forward and stared straight inside.
Sure enough, Qin Heng was spotted.
He lay on the ground, his once handsome face now bluish-purple, his eyes closed, unconscious. Beside him lay a beautifully crafted guqin, covered in bronze patina.
Shen Tianyu stepped inside and quickly scooped Qin Heng up in his arms.
Qin Ye and Qin Lu rushed in without caring about the traps in the side room.
Shen Tianyu handed Qin Heng out of the cave entrance.
Qin Heng was finally rescued.
Sheng Po hurriedly stepped forward to check on Qin Heng's injuries.
Yan Yan stood to the side, looking at Qin Heng's bruised and purple face, her heart aching.
For some reason, her body began to tremble violently.
