Chapter 27: Snow in June within the Tomb

  Qian Chenglin finished speaking, and Jin Douzi knew it was time to show off his skills. He looked at the "Skull Yin-Yang Fish" mechanism, which had indeed undergone many changes as it rotated.

  Jīn Dōu Zi carefully observed the rotation and felt that this simple "Skull Yin Yang Fish" mechanism now encompassed everything.

  But just then, a sound suddenly appeared from outside the tomb, sounding like a tide rushing over, and Cha Qian and others were busy sending people to investigate.

  The person who came back had a shocked expression and said: "Second brother! The yin tumor outside is gathering towards the tomb!"

  Upon hearing the words of Haoziying, everyone in the tomb chamber changed color, even Du Zhong, who had previously known that the dark tumors would not invade this tomb, now also had an unbelievable expression.

  Everyone looked at Du Zhong at this time, and Du Zhong's face showed a gloomy color as he said: "Don't look at me, I don't understand what's going on either."

  Now that Du Zhong has learned about this matter, everyone's heart sank again. Those dark tumors had caused them to lose so many people earlier, and even those who entered the tomb chamber were basically all injured.

  The person from Haoziying who had just gone to investigate suddenly thought of something and said, "Second Brother! When I looked outside just now, it seemed like something was floating down from above?"

  After hearing what Haoziying said, the people of this place all felt that something was not right. Why would things suddenly float in from outside for no reason? Could it be that these strange occurrences are related to the things floating down from outside?

  This time, Cha Qian personally went to the entrance of the tomb, and the people from Haoziying followed closely behind. Pang San, who was about to follow, stopped in his tracks. He looked at Du Zhong, who had already walked past, and his eyes flickered with unknown thoughts.

  Zha Qian took over the torch from the person in charge of the camp and stretched it out of the tomb, shining it outside. Sure enough, he saw that there were some things floating around outside now.

  Du Zhong, who had been following from behind, also looked out and saw the things floating outside. He immediately stiffened his body, seemingly not expecting such a thing to appear in this place.

  Cha Qian also noticed the abnormality in Du Zhong, but he didn't ask immediately. He waited until Du Zhong turned around and then followed him to ask: "What's wrong?"

  Du Zhong suddenly stopped and looked at Cha Qianzong, saying: "I don't know if you've heard of the 'June Snow' in the tomb?"

  Zha Qian was taken aback for a moment, and he had indeed heard of this thing by chance, but it was as rare as the "Huang Chang Ti Cou" in the tomb.

  Zha Qian's eyes widened in shock as he stared at the object, exclaiming: "How can it be this thing?!"

  Du Zhong did not respond, but instead continued walking forward. Cha Qianzong, who was standing still, looked deeply at the outside again before continuing to move forward. The people from the Haozi camp following him had no idea what the two were talking about, but judging from Cha Qianzong's expression, he must have guessed that the things floating outside were absolutely not simple.

  After returning to the place where the coffin was, Du Zhong leaned against the tomb wall without saying a word. Those who wanted to ask him questions saw his appearance and didn't dare to speak.

  Pang San Ye saw Cha Qian Zong enter and asked: "Cha Qian Zong, what exactly is that thing outside?"

  Zha Qian's voice was low and solemn: "It is 'June Snow' from the tomb."

  Pang San Ye furrowed his brow in confusion, and many people besides him looked bewildered. However, Qin Ling and Bai Pengju, as well as Wu Jiang, all showed a look of horror.

  "What exactly is it?" asked Pang San.

  "This tomb's 'June Snow' is actually something that nobody truly knows about, and nobody would want to know. Because once we leave and it falls on us, we'll directly turn into withered bones. And those dead things will come back to life again."

  After Qian Zong said that, the people here were even more incredulous. If it was said that living people went out and turned into dry bones, they could still accept it, but those dead things came back to life, which was really too frightening to hear.

  The silent Du Zhong finally spoke up: "The 'June Snow' in the tomb is said to be a resentful object buried by the tomb owner, but I don't know how it was arranged. However, this thing is extremely sinister and poisonous. Now you also know that those dark tumors are facing the tomb chamber, so that 'June Snow' is something that can reverse black and white."

  It's already unnecessary to continue explaining at this point, the people here have already understood what "June Snow" in this tomb is.

  And all the hope is now pinned on Jintouzi and Qian Chenglin, if they can't break through the mechanism in the coffin and find another way out, everyone here will be buried in the tomb.

  Zha Qian ordered the people from Zhaoziying to go to the entrance of the tomb to investigate the situation and inform him of any unusual movements outside at any time.

  At this time, Jindouzi was also at a critical moment, and the skull's yin-yang fish mechanism rule was about to be seen through by him. However, at this time, Jindouzi's forehead was sweating, and his body was slightly trembling.

  The scout from the Haoziying camp returned with an urgent report: "Second Brother, those dark masses are now less than ten paces away from the tomb entrance!"

  Cha Qian nodded as if he understood, then let Haoziying's man go past him. The situation was getting more and more critical by the minute.

  As the yin tumor approached the tomb, the atmosphere inside the tomb suddenly became heavy. Several people had already gone to the entrance of the tomb, preparing to make a final stand when the yin tumor arrived.

  At last, the golden helmet shouted: "I see! I'll tell you how to get down, hurry up and solve this mechanism!"

  Listening to Jintouzi's urgent voice, Qian Chenglin was also busy preparing the "mechanism" and waiting for Jintouzi to inform him of any changes.

  "Golden helmet can't help but wipe the sweat on his forehead and say: 'Falling in the left three inches of the skull, this is one place.'"

  Qian Chenglin followed Jin Douzi's instructions and pressed the mechanism in his hand, and suddenly a creaking sound came from the bottom of the coffin. Then, where Qian Chenglin had pressed, a wooden stick about two fingers thick and as long as an arm rose up, with a small opening at its top.

  "Yang's skull is five inches and three tenths of an inch away!"

  Qian Chenglin also fell rapidly, with the same machine sound as before, and then another piece of wood rose up, with a mouth on top.

  This time, Jintouzi wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, staring at the still spinning skull yin-yang fish. Although he had just found two places, this mechanism was still changing non-stop.

  Qian Chenglin also tensed up at this moment, he felt that his hand grasping the mechanism was also somewhat unsteady.

  The noise of those dark masses surging outside the tomb grew louder, and now without anyone telling them, the people inside the tomb could hear it for themselves. Those dark masses were probably only four or five steps away from the tomb.

  "Golden helmet shouted urgently: 'The sunfish's eye is in a lower position! Hurry up!'"

  As soon as Qian Chenglin's mechanism poked in again, the sunfish eye actually rose up entirely, and that baby-like sunfish eye finally stopped spinning, revealing a mouth.

  Jin Douzi immediately found another spot at Yin Yu's eye, and under Qian Chenglin's swift and precise movements, that eye also rose up.

  It's all up to Qian Chenglin now. He has to open these four mechanisms, only then can he break through this mechanism and reveal the hidden passage.

  Qian Chenglin inserted the mechanism inch into the first mechanism port, and as the mechanism inch slowly entered the mechanism port, its shape also began to change with the ups and downs of the mechanism port. Suddenly, a "click" sound came from inside the mechanism port, and then the raised wooden board fell back down again.

  Without any hesitation, Qian Chenglin began to work on another mechanism in the same way, only this one was more troublesome than the previous one.

  "Second Brother! It's less than three steps away!" someone from the Mouse Troop at the entrance of the tomb shouted.

  "Open!"

  As soon as his voice fell, the wooden plank fell again, and the sound of the mechanism echoed continuously. Then, it was seen that the entire dark side of the skull had sunk down, revealing a hidden passage. However, this opening was still too small for a person to pass through, and only by breaking open the yang-side mechanism could the passage be fully opened.

  However, now they finally saw hope. The people in the tomb chamber seemed more spirited than before, looking at the coffin and then gazing heavily at the entrance of the tomb chamber.

  Qian Chenglin is now breaking through the third mechanism, but more than half of the mechanism has already entered the mechanism port and continues to fall, with the concave-convex changes inside the mechanism port.

  When Qian Chenglin felt the resistance, he made an effort to twist in the direction that could be turned, and then a "click" sound came out from the mechanism again. After hearing this sound, Qian Chenglin was like hearing celestial music.

  The wooden lid fell again, and the sound of the machine inside the coffin became so loud that it overwhelmed the voices outside. Everyone who was silent in this sound felt as if their heart was about to jump out of their mouth.

  When the last mechanism was opened by Qian Chenglin, the positive side of the skull yin-yang fish mechanism also sank down, and a hidden passage that could accommodate one person appeared at the bottom of the coffin.

  Qian Chenglin excitedly shouted at Cha Qianzong: "Second Brother! Hurry and take the brothers away!"

  After hearing Qian Chenglin's words, the motionless Cha Qianzong and the people of Haoziying were blocked by Pang San's men.

  "Cha Qianzong! Now it's time for me to have the final say!" Pang San Ye said gloomily.

  Qian Zong's eyes narrowed slightly, while the people from Haozi Camp beside him revealed a ruthless glint in their eyes. Meanwhile, Qian Chenglin on the coffin lid let out a cold laugh and directly activated the mechanism to point at one spot inside the coffin.
