“You see,” Fats grinned at Panzi, “she likes you best.”

Panzi was shaking too hard to manage a smile. “Don’t talk about it. We’re even now, okay?”

Monk Hua waved his hand. “This tunnel is weird. What did you guys see when you were down there?”

Fats replied, “I didn’t bring a flashlight so I didn’t see anything. But I touched some rocks; I’d say this tunnel is man-made.”

All of us looked at the entrance with less terror and more interest, pointing our flashlights into it for a better look. It was deep, and we could see signs of chiseling on the edges of the opening, which confirmed Fats’s theory. There was no trace of Panzi’s admirer.

“Looks a little like a cellar opening in the north,” Fats remarked. “Could this be where the workmen kept their cabbages when they were building this place?”

Monk Hua ignored him. “There’s a wind blowing out of this tunnel. The shaft goes through the mountainside to the outside world.”

Fats asked, “Maybe this is the back door that goes to the Palace in the Clouds—like the secret passage that you guys talked about? Let’s go down and have a look—and if we run into that monster, we’ll send it to hell for you, Panzi.”

“No,” Monk Hua objected. “This tunnel is more complicated than it seems. I’m sure this was built as an escape route that the workmen made secretly, so they could save themselves when they were buried alive after they finished the tomb. I think this leads to nothing but the world outside. The good thing is, if my theory is correct, this tunnel will contain no traps. No one would place deadly hazards on an escape route.”
