Next, Elder Guo directed Qin Yongping to turn the other artifacts in sequence. As each one was turned, new changes occurred within the stone chamber. Some artifacts shot out beams of light, while others emitted strange sounds, and these lights and sounds seemed to be preparing for the opening of a hidden passage.
When the last artifact had been turned, a loud rumbling sound echoed out as one of the walls of the stone chamber slowly opened, revealing a dark passage. A cold draft blew from the passage, carrying with it a scent of decay and mystery.
Wielding his sword, Qin Yongping took the lead and entered the passage. He looked ahead vigilantly, moving forward step by slow step. Guo Yufu followed closely behind him, clutching tightly to the corner of Qin Yongping's tunic as if it could make her feel a little safer. Elder Guo and Su Qiong followed them in as well.
