Book 3: Chapter 76: Entrance

While I was thinking, Poker-Face tapped his flashlight twice to tell me to come over. I glanced at him and found that he must have discovered a clue.

"Have you found the trick?" I asked as I walked over to him. When he nodded, I asked, "How?"New novel chapters are published on

Poker-Face used his flashlight to illuminate a nearby dancing girl figurines foot, which was poised in the middle of a dance move. Then, he pointed to another dancing girl figurine.

These figurines all had Shen Qianjues mark on them. When I followed the flashlight and looked at the seventh one, I realized that these figurines dance steps had a continuous flow to them.

This was a kind of dance.

I tried to imitate these dancers footwork and found that their movements were very precise. Although I didnt know what kind of dance it was, it had to be a fusion of at least two or three kinds of ethnic dances.

Poker-Face used his fingers to tap the floor hard a few times and then asked me to listen. I put my ear to the ground, but I couldn't hear anything at first. I kept listening until I became so absorbed that I was almost in a trance-like state. That was when I finally heard the sound of a ball moving under the floor every time he knocked.

It was extremely slightlike the flick of a fingernailbut it went on for a very long time.

"Eighteen Bridge Lotus Frame," he said to me.

I touched my face. I had heard some of the old men in the industry talk about this before. It was an extremely sensitive mechanism that would start to rotate as long as the stone slab or secret door where it was located vibrated slightly. You could make the gold beads fall by tapping out a pattern, and every time you tapped, one gold bead would drop.

Fatty, who was lying on the ground, grinned at me and said in an extremely bored tone, "Forget about it. The three of us know jack shit about dancing. We just have to go out, get the equipment, and blow it up."

But before he had finished speaking, Poker-Face moved the flashlight away from the dancing girl figurines, pointed it towards the ground, and suddenly tapped on the ground with his fingers eighteen times.

That sense of rhythm sounded just like a drum melody. Plus, he was tapping the ground so hard that I knew Id probably vomit blood if he hit me.

At this time, I suddenly heard a series of clanging sounds coming from under my feetit appeared the mechanism had finally activated. As the clanging sound continued for another minute, it began to move more than ten meters away to the stairs in front of us. Then, we saw that the lower steps turned over to reveal a huge entrance.

This method works too? I looked at Poker-Face but he didn't look at me.

When we went up, Poker-Face illuminated the entrance with his flashlight. We saw a staircase made of black stone leading straight underground.

Fatty didn't even stand up and just looked at it from the side with a little despair on his face. In the past, he always used to be the first to jump up and look, but now he was obviously really tired.

The black stone stairs were flat and exquisitely made, which was a stark contrast to the stone slabs outside. I sighed in my heart, the entrance to the worlds second most valuable tomb has finally appeared.
