Chapter 290: Strange Cats and Strange Dogs
Through the stone gate in front of it, there is a passage that can only be passed by one person.
Fortunately, the top of the rock was not low, so they didn't have to crawl and walk, they only had to bow their heads slightly to pass.
Passing through the bends of the passage, and entering one stone door after another,
With every step, Yang Qing was thinking, fortunately they had snatched a wooden key from the Bao family, otherwise it was estimated that there would be all traps waiting for them during this journey.
Because this tomb has confessed its Lord,
The group of three walked unhindered to the heart of the tomb,
The flashlight shines past, and the eyes suddenly brighten,
They walked into a large stone chamber, no longer the natural cave of the past, the floor was paved with delicate marble slabs, and the walls were very smooth.
There were four passages around the stone chamber, and the other three led to nowhere except for the one they walked into.
All eyes were on the center of the stone chamber, where there was a towering circular stone platform with a bronze coffin on it!
"Finally found it!"
Yang Qing's eyes lit up, she snatched the flashlight in Dazhu's hand, kept shining on the bronze coffin, and slowly approached it.
Yang Qing walked onto the round platform,
As she approached, she saw that all five coffins were carved with various bizarre inscriptions and illustrated strokes.
"This coffin should be at least three hundred years old!"
Yang Qing bit the vintage very hard, which is of great significance to her.
Yang Qing did not touch the coffin surface for the first time, because many ancient tomb designers would design traps on the surface of the coffin, or sprinkle a layer of venom on it.
It's all here, and it's even more cautious.
She took out a telescopic rod, stretched it out, and gently knocked the coffin surface, beating everywhere,
After seeing that no switch was triggered, she took out a bottle of colorless and odorless liquid and poured it evenly on the coffin, and the liquid did not change color, which means that the surface of the coffin has not penetrated venom.
At this time, the big pillar and the big back head have already walked over,
"Can this coffin be moved?" Dazhu asked.
Yang Qing nodded, "It's moving!"
"You go to the other side, let's work together to push open the lid of this coffin!" Dazhu commanded Da Beitou.
The two of them each grabbed the corner of the coffin lid and wanted to lift the coffin lid.
"Come on, one, two, three, hard! hard!"
The lid of the coffin did not move.
"You, have you used any strength? Dazhu shouted at the big back.
"Lao Tzu's strength to eat milk has been exhausted!"
"The one who changed the push!"
The two walked to the end and pushed the lid of the coffin together, but they didn't push a single penny.
"The coffin may have been locked, or it may have been so old that the lid and body of the coffin were fitted together. Dazhu said helplessly.
"No, this kind of bronze coffin usually has a mechanism to open the coffin. ”
Yang Qing groped around the side of the coffin, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "Found it!"
She touched a bronze turntable in the shape of a gear,
She tried to twist it clockwise, and the bronze turntable was twisted by her.
"Bang bang!"
The bronze coffin shook itself a few times, causing the big back and pillar to retreat down the steps, thinking that they had triggered some kind of devouring mechanism.
Yang Qing also followed and walked down the stone platform.
After the shock, the lid of the coffin moved on its own and pushed it open.
"It's finally on!"
Yang Qing said excitedly.
But she didn't go to the stone platform for the first time, and looked into the coffin.
She was afraid that there was some trap hidden inside the coffin.
There was no gravel on the ground, so she had to take out a pack of compressed biscuits from the bag and throw them high into the coffin.
"Goo-dong"!
There was a crisp sound from inside, but nothing else.
Da Zhu knew the concerns in Yang Qing's heart, and he volunteered to walk over, "I'll take a look!"
The big pillar probed into the coffin, but his expression suddenly became surprised.
"What's wrong?" Yang Qing said anxiously, "What's in the coffin?"
Dazhu raised his head, his face full of doubts, "Nothing!"
Nothing?
Yang Qing immediately walked up the steps and probed into the coffin.
Sure enough, there was nothing in the coffin except for the packet of compressed dry that she had just thrown in.
"How can this be! how can there be no bones?"
Yang Qing showed an expression of disbelief, mixed with a thick sense of frustration.
She also reached into the coffin and groped around, but found nothing.
"It's an empty coffin!"
Risking his life, he finally got here, only to find an empty coffin?!
"No, this coffin should only be used to hide people's eyes, there should be a coffin with bones elsewhere!" Yang Qingwu muttered to himself.
She looked at the other three passages,
Yes, one of these three passages must have been the stone chamber that led to the real bronze coffin.
"Let's go in and have a look!"
Yang Qing took the lead and walked towards one of the passages,
But soon, she retreated again,
Just because she saw that in the dark depths of the passage, there were several pairs of seeping pupils flashing, like devouring beasts.
Da Beitou and Da Zhu saw that not only one, but also three passages were flashing with crystal eyes.
Dazhu remembered Xiao Li, who was bitten off a head and died tragically, there are fierce beasts lurking in this tomb that can eat people.
He was anxious to protect the master, and immediately ran in front of Yang Qing, "Member You, there is danger, retreat!"
The two of them stepped back step by step,
And the beasts in the three passages slowly walked out of the dark depths,
The flashlight in Yang Qing's hand shone tightly on the three passages, for fear that he would miss it for a while, and there was a beast that went around behind him without noticing.
When the two of them retreated to the stone platform, the beast in the passage finally appeared.
A total of eight beasts came out of each of the three passages,
Each beast was small, but its fur was black, its teeth were bared, its eyes were shining with fierceness, and the corners of its mouth were dripping with blood.
Looking at the physical features, there are five that seem to be felines, and three that seem to be canines.
Yang Qing remembered the big cat that the village chief of Aoyuan Village buried in the soil, and it was sucked dry of flesh and blood just one day after entering the soil, and only a pair of bones remained.
That must be the grave at work.
Perhaps these eight beasts were once dead cats and dogs, buried here by the villagers, and after several years, they reconstituted their flesh and blood and turned into a devouring beast.
"What's in that strange cat's mouth?!" said the big back with sharp eyes, pointing to the cat walking at the back.
Yang Qing used a flashlight to shine in the direction he pointed,
I saw that the strange cat was holding an oval object in its mouth, and if I looked closely, it was actually a head that had been half gnawed off, and there was only one eye, one ear, and half of the nose left on the head, and the flesh and blood were blurred.
The big back showed a shocked expression, and his voice trembled, "That'...... That was Lao Yu's head, and Lao Yu had already been killed. ”
If Lao Yu had already died tragically, it was estimated that the other bodyguard had also suffered an accident, because the two of them did not have a wooden key in their hands, and even if they could escape the hunt of these beasts, they would die tragically in all kinds of traps
