The Lost Tomb : Tibetan Sea Flower

Chapter 92: Reason

I had read a science fiction novel before about a man who hijacked a spaceship and built a base on Pluto by using the hijacked materials. At the age of ninety, he finally successfully carried out his plan to threaten the government of Earth.

The whole process lasted his whole life, and he did all of the work alone. I felt that the situation here wasn't far off from this novel either.

The legends of Kangbaluo had been around for a long time, and the association of copper and tin ore was even rarer. The construction of this kind of bronze door in this kind of place couldn't be the result of random selection, but was more likely done on purpose.

For the Zhang family— whose lives were longer than that of ordinary people— it was logical and not at all against human nature to carry out such a big project with a small number of people. But the craftsmen working over such a long construction period must have been replaced every ten years or so. The people in this family were naturally lonely, so being isolated for ten years was no big deal in that sense. There could be another possibility, however. Maybe it was because they needed to be isolated from the world for a long time that they slowly evolved into such characters.

This was only an interesting theory I had. Did that mean that at the bottom of Changbai Mountain, Little Brother was working alone as an ironmonger? And the so-called ten years was simply his time limit?

If the family had withered and the members couldn't be reached, that meant that no one would come to relieve him at the end of the construction period, and he could only work endlessly at the bottom of the mountain until the project was completed.

It was scary to think about, but the secret at the bottom of Changbai Mountain wasn't so simple. Obviously, the ancient bronze door on this side was modeled after it, and even equipped with a fighting corpse. And based on what we saw in this workshop, there were numerous fighting corpses that may have been placed throughout this underground canyon. This meant that this place was probably a trap.

The Zhang family was preparing to ambush people at the bronze door. Since the construction period of the project was so long and they had spent so much patience on this trap, they definitely weren't dealing with only one or two people.

"We've been had." I thought of this place with a long sigh. This trap had been here for such a long time that it must have certainly attracted more than one wave of people. The Zhang family must have left a variety of clues around the world, including the real giant bronze door hidden under Changbai Mountain and the miraculously huge Yinshang imperial tomb that couldn't have been completed by individuals. It was never possible to completely conceal any clues of these miracles from the world, but the Zhang family tampered with the direction these clues pointed at and sent them all to the depths of the Himalayas. Here, they made a fake bronze monument and set a deadly trap.

These clues all led to this place. I didn't know how many people had been brought here to die, but it was likely that after the Tibetans discovered the setting here, they took it as a place haunted by demons and built the lama temple and the Kangbaluo village here.

This mysterious tribe further strengthened the validity of the clues left out in the world, making people feel that such clues couldn't be refuted.
