At this moment, Nangong Qiqing's face was miserable, and she had already paced to Wu Qian's side from the arch in the distance.

She stood at the top of the stairs, craned her neck, and looked down into the darkness.

Wu Qian suddenly asked, "Is there any other important information about this tomb recorded in that ancient book you have read?"

Nangong Qiqing shook her head decisively and replied, "No." ”

"Apart from you, who else has read this ancient book you mentioned?" Wu Gan asked again.

Nangong Qiqing thought about it for a while, and then replied: "My grandfather, Uncle Hou... Hou Dechang father and son, nothing else. ”

After speaking, she added: "Even if there are other people who have seen it, they don't want to enter the ancestral tomb of my Nangong family." Because, only the blood of the descendants of my Nangong family is the only key to open the entrance to the ancestral tomb. And I, apart from my grandfather, is the only descendant of the Nangong family. ”

"Hmm. ”

Wu Qian nodded slightly, and said lightly, "No wonder the Hou father and son haven't poisoned you for a long time, it turns out that they have been waiting for this moment all along." It's a pity that they didn't wait for this moment before they revealed their true colors. ”

After speaking, Wu Qian took his right foot and took the lead in stepping on the bluestone slab stairs leading to the underground tomb.

The three daughters, Meng Wanniang, Ah Chou and Nangong Qiqing, also stepped on the stairs leading to the underground tomb one after another.

The angle between the bluestone slab staircase and the ground is about 60 degrees, which is quite steep.

In addition, the bluestone slab is covered with a thick layer of moss, and the moss is very slippery, so you must be very careful every time you step on a staircase, otherwise, if you are not careful, you may fall down.

However, fortunately, with Wu Gan taking the lead, Meng Wanniang, A Chou and Nangong Qiqing followed behind him, and his heart was much more steady.

The bluestone slab staircase, very long, stretches all the way to the depths of the earth.

All around is darkness that you can't see your fingers.

Wu Gan walked in the forefront, raised his right hand, snapped his fingers, and on the tip of his index finger, a cluster of flames immediately burst up, illuminating the vision ahead.

Four people, along the bluestone slab staircase, all the way down.

After nearly half an hour, they finally had a down-to-earth feeling again.

In front of me, a corridor appeared that could only accommodate one person walking upright.

Wu Qian continued to take the lead.

He was followed by Nangong Qiqing, then Ah Chou, and finally Meng Wanniang.

Four people, lined up, entered the narrow corridor.

Within the corridor, the stone walls on both sides are polished very smooth.

On the stone wall, at intervals, a dense fist-sized groove appeared, and pieces of glowing crystals were placed inside.

As soon as Wu Qian saw these glowing crystals, he immediately extinguished the flames on his fingertips and reminded him loudly: "If you don't want to die, stay away from them, and don't try to touch them with your hands." ”

"Why?" Meng Wanniang asked curiously.

Without waiting for Wu Gan to answer, Nangong Qiqing replied first: "These are phosphorites, the ignition point is very low, and the temperature of the human body may ignite them." ”

"Wow, that's amazing. Meng Wanniang exclaimed.

However, she immediately changed her tone and said, "But even if they burn, we don't need to be afraid." The fire is not so big, how can it still burn us to death?"

"Although the fire is small, once the temperature in this tunnel rises, all the phospholite will be ignited in an instant. ”

Nangong Qiqing further explained, "Combustion consumes oxygen, and the oxygen in this underground space is already thin, and once it is quickly consumed, it may suffocate us to death." ”

"Uh..." When Meng Wanniang heard this, she quickly hugged her arms to her chest, afraid that she would accidentally touch the phosphorite in the grooves of the stone walls on both sides.

Wu Gan said without replying: "I didn't expect you to recognize phospholite." ”

Nangong Qiqing pursed her lips and whispered, "I have seen descriptions of phosphorite in ancient books at home. ”

Wu Qian didn't say anything more.

After the four of them successfully crossed the corridor, their eyes suddenly opened up.

At the end of the road, there is a large cave.

Piles of phosphorite are piled up around the cave.

The faint light emitted by these phosphorrites, connected together, is enough to illuminate the entire cave.

I saw that in the open space in the center of the cave, more than a dozen sarcophagi were regularly placed.

Wu Qian counted carefully, no more, no less, exactly seventeen.

These seventeen coffins are arranged in a divergent spiral.

When Nangong Qiqing saw these coffins, a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes, which was fleeting.

Meng Wanniang and Ah Chou gasped at the same time.

Ah Chou asked softly, "Could this be a formation?"

Meng Wanniang nodded and agreed: "I think so too." ”

Wu Qian shook his head and replied, "There is not the slightest energy fluctuation around, it shouldn't be a formation." ”

As he spoke, he walked to the first sarcophagus, grabbed the lid with one hand, lifted it, and laid it flat on the ground next to it.

Meng Wanniang, Ah Chou and Nangong Qiqing also gathered in front of the sarcophagus, stretched their necks, and looked inside.

"Mom!" Meng Wanniang shouted.

This shout startled both Ah Chou and Nangong Qiqing.

"What the hell is this?" Meng Wanniang's eyes looked straight inside the sarcophagus.

I saw a dry corpse lying in the sarcophagus.

The corpse's skin was dark brown and covered with fine folds.

But strangely, its body is not covered with bones like a normal dried corpse, but is very full.

Wu Qian frowned, and then walked to the second sarcophagus.

Reaching out and lifting the lid of the coffin, there was also a dried corpse lying inside.

Then the third sarcophagus, the fourth sarcophagus, the fifth sarcophagus...

Until the sixteenth sarcophagus was opened, in each sarcophagus, without exception, there was a dried corpse with a very similar appearance.

There is one last sarcophagus left.

This time, Wu Gan did not directly lift the lid of the coffin, but slowly pushed open a gap.

Through this gap, Wu Qian saw that it was empty and there was nothing.

He then stopped what he was doing.

Seeing this, Meng Wanniang leaned forward, looked through the gap, and looked curiously into the sarcophagus.

"Huh?"

She wondered, "Where did the dried corpse in this coffin go?"

Ah Chou and Nangong Qiqing also glanced at the seventeenth coffin one after another, and their eyes showed puzzled expressions one after another.

At this moment, the dried corpse in the first sarcophagus suddenly stood upright.

Immediately after that, the second, third, fourth...

The sixteen dried corpses lying in the sixteen sarcophagi all straightened their bodies one after another and stood up.

That scene was indescribably weird.
