Chapter 937: Six Doors
After the body was straightened and balanced, suddenly there was a rumbling sound from behind.
I turned my head suddenly, only to see a wall behind me suddenly rumble open.
I was overjoyed, but I didn't expect this pillar to be the mechanism that opened the tomb door.
I jumped to my feet, jumped off the pillar, and walked towards the door that slowly retracted to the right.
The pool is hexagonal, with a stone wall on each side, but I didn't expect this wall to be a door.
After the door was retracted, I saw a sarcophagus behind the door.
When I saw that it was a sarcophagus, I immediately felt a little lost, this Zhao Tuo was the founding emperor of South Vietnam, how could he use a sarcophagus?
That Zhao Xing is his great-grandson, and he uses jade coffins and golden jade clothes, how can he use sarcophagi?
I walked to the edge of the sarcophagus and found that the lid of the sarcophagus was not carved in the shape of a dragon, only some cloud patterns, which made me feel more and more that this coffin was not Zhao Tuo's.
Squatting down to look closely, the seal of the sarcophagus has white plaster, previously used with natural adhesive.
I scraped the white plaster with a dagger, gently pushed open the sarcophagus, and found that there was an inner coffin inside, and it turned out that the outer one was an outer coffin.
But the rules of the outer coffin are nearly two meters, and the size of the inner coffin is only one meter seven.
In the sandwich of the outer coffin and the inner coffin, there are some funeral goods, there is a separate stack of folded clothes, look at the material, it should be silk, but a little sticky, this thing has begun to oxidize, I can't save it.
This is a discovery, many of the ancient tombs found in the past are directly put on the body of the tomb owner in spring, summer, autumn and winter, one layer inside and one layer outside, and some tomb owners have thirty-six pieces of clothes on their bodies, and even their heads are tightly wrapped.
The reason for this is that at that time, people thought that if they brought all the clothes they had with them for the four seasons, they would have clothes to wear all year round.
According to the scientific explanation, wearing so many clothes isolates the contact between the corpse and the air bacteria, and the decomposition of prefabricated bacteria can be effectively achieved.
I concluded that the inner coffin in front of me was certainly not rotten.
Because not only is there a formation of six pillars on the outside to protect the mermaid's youth, but this coffin must also maintain the state it was in when it was first buried.
What's more, the inner and outer coffins are sealed, and the white plaster mud has not dried up.
I scraped off the white plaster of the inner coffin and opened the lid of the inner coffin.
Suddenly, there was a hissing breath in the coffin, accompanied by a woman's sigh of 'Oh!'
I was so frightened that I retreated, but I didn't dare to come up and look.
I closed my eyes and sensed it, and found that the woman inside was indeed intact, although her face was a little pale, was she still alive?
The next moment, I found that the woman was like a deflated temper, hissing in her mouth and nostrils, and the whole face quickly dried up, and the face that could still be seen became a dry corpse in an instant, and a layer of black flesh covered the skull.
The woman was buried in full costume, and at least wore a lot of jewelry and jewelry.
I was not polite, I touched them one by one, and even the jade ring on my finger was removed.
Then I found a wooden box next to her headrest, I picked up the box, and when I opened it, I found that there was a gold seal inside, a square gold seal, about five or six centimeters long and wide, and one centimeter high.
I opened the bottom of the gold seal and found that there were words, but I didn't recognize it, so I simply put the gold seal back in the box and put it in my backpack.
Turning my head to look at the pillar in the middle, and the other five stone walls, my heart pounded.
I concluded that the pillars could still be sunk, and the other five stone walls were also five doors, and there were five coffins behind the doors, and Zhao Tuo's coffin must be among them.
I quickly jumped to the top of the pillar, then jumped up and fell hard.
There was a rumbling sound, and another stone door opened.
Without doing it, I jumped one after another, and then the weight fell, and each time the pillar sank to about one of six lengths.
It wasn't until the entire pillar finally fell to the ground, leveling with the ground, that all six doors opened.
There were indeed six coffins behind the six doors, but to my surprise, none of them were jade coffins or special coffins, all of them were sarcophagi.
What's even more puzzling to me is that all along, the mermaid has been standing on this pillar, jumping and jumping for sure, after so many years, hasn't this pillar been sunk by her?
After thinking about it for a while, it suddenly seemed to have figured it out.
Within the formation of the six large pillars, everything was balanced, especially the dust-free water, which played a role in maintaining balance.
This effect should be the same as the syringe we use for injection, if the end of the needle is plugged, the syringe will not be able to be pressed no matter what.
Dust-free water is like a liquid in a syringe, and when there is no place for water, the water is balanced.
Now that the dust-free water is gone, the balance inside is broken, the air leaks in, the pillar will naturally sink, and I don't use much strength at all, almost all on my own weight.
I am familiar with the road, and I opened all the other five coffins, and I didn't open one, hoping that the person in the coffin was Zhao Tuo, and then I didn't, I hoped again and again, and I was disappointed again and again, especially after the last sarcophagus was opened, there was also a woman's coffin, and I was disappointed.
But it is gratifying that these six women have gold seals around them, and this gold seal is the same as the gold seals of those martyrs in Zhao Xing's tomb.
So I also believe in the mermaid's words, that is Zhao Tuo's tomb here, and these six women are all Zhao Tuo's concubines.
Now that the concubine's coffin has been found, this Zhao Tuo's coffin must be not far away.
But the six doors were all open, and there was no other place around, and there was no suspicious place outside the pool, and according to the previous practice, the coffin of the concubine must be on the side of the coffin of the tomb owner.
At this point, I looked again at the hexagonal pillar, which had sunk into the ground and was level with the ground.
Could this pillar sink a little longer, and then open a door from somewhere?
With questions and anticipation, I walked to the middle of the pool, and now the pillar sank, and the middle of the pool was flat.
I put one foot on the pillar, the other on the outside, and then, after luck, I stepped on it hard.
With a snap, there was a crisp sound on the soles of the feet and the surface of the pillar, and the entire right foot was numb, but the pillar did not move at all, and there was no change around it.
"Strange, where the hell is it?" I scratched my head and turned my head to look around, a little confused.
