C81 (1/2)
Fang Zishu gazed off into the distance, trying to find clues in the vast waterfall.
Unfortunately, the sound of the waterfall was too loud, and the water droplets that fell from the sky and the vast expanse of white mist obscured his vision too much. With his current position, he was unable to see the entirety of the waterfall, let alone its dark side.
Fang Zishu looked around, trying to find a place to climb, and peek behind the great waterfall. But unfortunately, after searching for a long time, he was unable to find a good place. The birch trees were tall, but the bottom four to five meters were completely bare.
Fang Zishu was not good at climbing trees to begin with, not to mention this kind of upright tree trunk that had no foothold or foothold. Therefore, after some consideration, Fang Zishu gave up on the idea of climbing trees to observe.
At this moment, Da Ceng cried out in alarm.
”What's wrong? ”Da Ceng.” Fang Zhisu asked.
”Grandmaster Fang, look over there!” Big Zheng pointed to the depths of the cold pond, his tone full of excitement.
Fang Zishu looked in the direction Da Ceng was pointing and discovered that there was a cave about ten feet tall in the innermost area of the cold tank. The cave was located right below the waterfall, so Fang Zhushu did not see it at first.
On both sides of the cave, the book also found simple construction fortifications. To be honest, the two sides of the cave only had a few stone bundles on the sides. It couldn't even be considered a fortifications. It was just that the position of these piled up stone bundles was very particular. They were arranged according to the principle of the five elements reacting to each other.
Fang Zishu was ecstatic as he looked at the hole in the innermost area of the cold pond. His intuition told him that the pitch-black cave entrance was most likely the entrance to the main tomb.
Thinking of this, Fang Zishu hurriedly shone his flashlight into the cave.
Although the high-intensity flashlight was extremely far away, it was blocked by the waterfall, so the amount of light it gathered was greatly reduced. There weren't many places in the cave where it could be found.
Following the beam of the flashlight, he looked into the distance and found that the interior of the cave was extremely spacious. What made him most excited was that he seemed to have caught a glimpse of a few statues in the depths of the cave. The statues all had different shapes, and they were all holding different things in their hands. With this discovery, Fang Zhisu was even more certain that there was a tomb in the depths of the cave.
Perhaps the octagonal prism shaped amber that he'd always yearned for would be concealed within it. Thinking about this, Fang Zishu waved at Qi Sanpang, ”Pao, come over here and take a look. Is the cave a tomb?”
Although Fang Zishu was the descendant of the 'Jin Wu' school field officer and was familiar with the 'Jin Ding Acupoints' of mountains and rivers, he knew very little about water tombs. However, Qi Sanpang was different. He was a proper general, proficient in all kinds of tombs.
Qi Sanpang stared at the cave for a while, then nodded with certainty, ”According to the location of the cave, I think that should be the entrance to the ancient tomb. However, tombs were usually constructed on the side of the mountains and by the water. Very few people would construct the entrance to the tomb by the side of a pool, so I felt that this cave should not be the main entrance to the tomb. Instead, some senior might have used explosives to blast a hole under the waterfall when they couldn't find the main tomb.
”If this cave is the main entrance of the ancient tomb, then if you have been leaning on the side of the water for a long time, then the stone at the entrance of the cave will definitely be covered with moss. However, if you look at the stone at the entrance of the cave, it is extremely smooth, and there is not the slightest hint of moss at all, so I am sure that this is not the main entrance of the tomb.”
”Is this a cave made from explosives?”
After Qi Sanpo's reminder, the book also found that the stones at the entrance of the cave were clearly different from those at other places.
Moreover, he had earlier decided on the specifics of the 'Heavenly Star Wind Water Technique', which was unique to the Fang family. The conclusion was that the mausoleum in front of him should be hidden in the dark side behind the waterfall, and the coffin was mainly suspended in the air.
