However, these pale-faced female ghosts still flashed past and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Light up!" Wu Hao said in a deep voice.
When everyone heard this, they came back to their senses.
That's right, wasn't it because he couldn't see it clearly?
Then he would light up the Everlasting Light in this room and see where those ghosts could hide!
Thus, everyone hurriedly took their torches and began to light the wick in the stove.
Soon, the Eternal Lamps in the hall were lit one after another, and the hall instantly lit up.
When all the lamps were lit, the hall was brightly lit, and the surroundings were clear at a glance.
Only then did everyone realize that this was not the main tomb they had expected, but a pill refining room.
Not only was there no coffin, but there was also no gold, silver, or jewelry.
There were only a dozen or so tall pillars made of nanmu wood and a bronze cauldron with a diameter of several meters in the middle of the hall.
Seeing the situation in the hall, Elder Luo said in disappointment,""Hey, this room is empty. There's only a copper bathtub. Is this a bathroom?”
"This isn't a bathtub, but a bronze cauldron. It's really rare to see such a huge cauldron."”
"Yeah, this is the first time I've seen such a huge bronze cauldron."
Luo Shuai, if you can get this thing out, it won't be a problem to exchange it for a few Western cannons.”
Elder Luo smiled bitterly." Boss Chen, I can't get this thing out even if I pull a few bulls!"
I say, don't you guys feel that something is wrong?
We've been searching for so long, but we haven't seen the tomb owner's coffin, nor have we seen any gold, silver, or treasures. Instead, it's all Daoist alchemy items.
Did we come to the wrong place? How did this place look like an ancient tomb? It looks more like a Daoist temple!"
"There are many Taoist temples and pill palaces in this Bottle Mountain.
Rumor had it that after the Yuan Dynasty general died, he had turned the Daoist temple's Pill Palace into his own mausoleum palace.
However, the size of the cave and the number of Taoist temples and palaces in the Bottle Mountain were beyond imagination.
Therefore, it was normal that they could not find the tomb owner's coffin in a short period of time.
Since we're already here, let's split up and search. I'm sure we'll find it.”
At this moment, a burst of giggles suddenly sounded.
This time, everyone heard it clearly. That laughter was actually coming from the roof beam!
Everyone looked at each other in fear.
Could it be that those pale-faced female ghosts were hiding on the beams?
This was really possible.
After all, the candle flame of the Everlasting Light was thin and small, so it could not shine so high up.
Torches, headlamps, and old-fashioned flashlights could not reach high places.
Therefore, even though all the lamps in the hall were lit, it was still pitch-black above the beams.
At this time, Chen Yulou's pair of night eyes came in handy.
He frowned slightly and looked up at the beam.
A moment later, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and said to Aunt Hong,""There's something on the beam. Follow the direction of my lighter and shoot a dart.”
Without waiting for Hong Nu's reply, he lit a match and threw it at a spot on the beam.
Aunt Hong waited for the lighter to fly up high and saw the "thing" that Chen Yulou had mentioned. She raised her hand and shot out a dart.
With a swoosh, the dart hit its target. Immediately, something fell from the roof beam. The moment it landed, it shattered on the ground with a crack.
Although this thing had already been smashed, everyone could guess what it was when they saw it.
It was a ceramic object that looked like a whistle.
In ancient times, pottery flutes were very common, but earthen whistles were rare.
The reason why he guessed that this pottery was a whistle was because there was a clay ball inside it.
This was very similar to the structure of a whistle.
"There are many of these ceramic whistles hanging in the corners of the beams.
That gurgling sound should be coming from this thing.
Once the wind blew past, they would sway and make this strange sound.”
Everyone finally understood.
It turned out that the strange laughter was not from the female ghost, but a kind of ear-blocking technique.
Just this alone had given everyone quite a fright.
Wu Hao sighed in his heart. It could only be said that the wisdom of the ancients left future generations in the dust.
He was actually able to design such a simple mechanism with such a terrifying effect.
When Old Luo saw that the laughter that frightened everyone was actually coming from this broken pottery whistle, he immediately became furious and said to his subordinates,"Break all the ceramic whistles on it!”
"Marshal, it's too dark up there. We can't see!"”
"Give me the gun," said Chen Yulou.
Someone immediately handed over a rifle.
Chen Yulou took the gun and shot one at a time. In a moment, all the ceramic whistles on it were shattered!
Everyone cheered in unison,"Good marksmanship!"”
Chen Yulou handed the gun to his subordinate and said with a smug expression,""I broke all the ceramic whistles. Now, there won't be a woman's laughter anymore.
Brothers who want to hear women laugh, when we find the gold and silver treasures, do you still have to worry about women smiling at you when we return to the city?”
Everyone burst into laughter, and the tense and terrifying atmosphere disappeared.
