At this time, Huagushao, Chen Yulou, Luo Laoxie, Hong Gu, Hua Ling, the little foreigner, as well as more than a dozen Xieling brothers who were good at fighting had already come down.
However, they all stood on the top of the treasure and looked down, not daring to jump into the hall casually.
Wu Hao smiled at them and said,"It's okay. Come down."”
It had been a while since he entered the hall. Since there were no centipedes coming out, it must have been his bloodline.
When everyone saw that there were no centipedes below, they mustered up their courage and jumped down.
Elder Luo looked around and was immediately disappointed. He scratched his head and said,"This place is f * cking tattered, like a broken temple. There's nothing valuable here!”
Wu Hao smiled." This is a hall for worshipping tablets and the dead. It's normal that there are no treasures. If you want treasures, you have to go to the underground palace to find them."”
Elder Luo heard this and gave him a thumbs up."I didn't expect this. Not only is Little Brother Wu capable, but he's also f * cking knowledgeable. One look and you can tell that he's a scholar! Although I don't know a single word, I respect scholars! Little Brother Wu, you are the person I, Old Luo, admire!”
Wu Hao knew that this guy was flattering him, but he didn't care. Instead, he told him not to run around and touch anything. Then, he went to check the situation inside the hall with Zhe Gushao and the others.
On the other side, the Xie Ling brothers started to scatter quicklime powder under Chen Yulou's command.
Quicklime powder could prevent centipedes and poisonous insects, so it was not worth much. Everyone scattered it vigorously, and an area surrounded by quicklime powder was scattered in the middle of the hall.
After doing all this, Chen Yulou said," Commander Luo, there's no danger in this hall. Send someone up and get the engineer battalion to come down and wait for orders." The rest of you, follow us into the rear hall."
"Alright!" Elder Luo said. He sent his subordinates up.
While Chen Yulou was setting up the safety zone, Wu Hao, Hugu Whistle and the others had already investigated the situation in the main hall.
At the back of the hall was an incense table. On the incense table was the tablet of the tomb owner.
However, because it was written in Mongolian script, no one could read it, so they had no way of knowing who was buried here.
After going around the incense table, there was a passage. After passing through the passage, one would enter the back hall.
Under normal circumstances, as long as the entrance to the underground palace was not too secretive, it would be hidden in the back hall.
However, just like the entrance of the tomb buried underground, there would be a thousand-pound boulder blocking it and various anti-theft mechanisms.
When the group entered the back hall, Xie Ling and his brothers scattered quicklime powder everywhere to prevent poisonous insects.
Probably because of the terrain of the mountain, this rear hall was not large.
The inner side was directly built with the mountain walls. On the walls, there was a sealed stone door.
In the back hall, there were only some simple lanterns, incense burner, flying crane, and other decorative bronze ware.
Only the two Yuan Dynasty tomb guarding beast statues on both sides of the stone door were very eye-catching!
Everyone's gaze could not help but be attracted by the two tomb suppressing beasts.
The two Gravekeeper Beasts were more than two meters tall, and they had beast faces and human bodies.
He had a green face and fangs, his brows were tightly knitted, and his eyes were tightly shut. He had a ferocious and terrifying appearance.
His body was carved into the style of an armor general's uniform, holding a demon-subduing pestle and a soul-summoning banner. He was awe-inspiring and daunting.
Elder Luo spat at the Tomb Suppressing Beast and said,"What the hell is this? You're even uglier than me."
Everyone was speechless.
He did not know if this fellow was praising him or insulting him.
Everyone surrounded the Gravekeeper Beasts and found that they were just two stone statues other than their ferocious faces.
Thus, they ignored him and gathered in front of the stone door.
The stone door was directly opened on the rock wall of the mountain. It wasn't big, about two meters in length and width, and there were complicated auspicious patterns of divine beasts carved on it.
However, no matter how hard they tried, they didn't budge. It was obvious that the back was blocked.
Chen Yulou said," This should be the secret passage leading to the underground palace. Commander Luo, when the brothers from the engineer battalion come down, just blow it up."”
"Alright!" Elder Luo said. Just wait and hear!"
"Brother Chen, don't you find it strange?" This Gate of Heaven was actually not concealed at all, appearing in the back hall like this. Wasn't it a little too grand?”
Hugushao's suspicion was reasonable, and Wu Hao had the same doubts in his heart.
Since ancient times, the imperial mausoleums were expensive tombs. There were mausoleum palaces on the ground and underground palaces.
The entrance to the tomb buried underground was called the Earth Gate.
The secret entrance from the mausoleum palace to the underground palace was called the Heavenly Gate.
It meant that the person buried in the tomb could ascend to the heavenly realm through this door.
However, in order to prevent theft, both Heaven Gate and Earth Gate would try their best to hide.
However, the Gate of Heaven here did not seem to have any intention of hiding. It was exposed so openly. Was it not afraid of being stolen?
"Look at this stone door, it's actually opened on the rock wall of the mountain." Chen Yulou muttered.
One had to know that the Bottle Mountain was a stone mountain. It was a difficult project to dig a secret passage through the hard rock to the underground palace.
The Yuan people had come here to fight, and their manpower and resources were very limited. They did not have the conditions to carry out large-scale projects.
Therefore, I guessed that behind this stone door, there was originally a natural cave or mountain crack that led underground.
That Yuan person had merely used the terrain of the mountain to pick up a ready-made one and transformed this natural cave into the secret passage of the Heavenly Gate.
If that was the case, it would make sense that they could not hide the Gate of Heaven.”
