Chapter 211: See the sarcophagus again
"Rhubarb, come back!" I hurriedly commanded.
Rhubarb fell unwillingly.
I felt my heart pounding, and I was completely happy to see the hunt, this strange little beetle aroused my desire, and I had a very strong thought in my heart, I wanted to take it!
My eyes were fixed on the little beetle, but the rhubarb didn't attack again, and the little beetle seemed to know what was going on, and it turned around and slowly flew in the direction of the altar.
I quickened my pace and followed.
The little beetle flew very slowly, and its body kept falling, as if it was injured.
Finally it flew above the altar, and then spun around and fell towards the altar.
I ran up to the altar in three steps and two steps, and when I looked at it, I was nowhere to be seen!
I knelt on the altar and looked eagerly, the altar was overgrown with weeds, I was afraid that I would accidentally step on the small beetle, and I didn't dare to move too much, but I didn't see the little beetle after looking around.
"Where has it gone!" I muttered, and I had seen it fall on the altar just now, but I couldn't find it.
"Buzz!" Rhubarb suddenly flew down from mid-air, and landed on the altar as soon as his wings were retracted, and before I could give a command, Rhubarb suddenly burrowed into a weed bush on the altar.
I froze for a moment, then reached out to play with it, and I pulled the weeds open, revealing a narrow gap hidden by the weeds.
"Rhubarb!" I said, and at my beckoning, rhubarb suddenly came out of the crack again.
"It's empty down there!" I froze for a moment.
At this time, I had already guessed, and the little beetle probably got into it.
I began to pull the weeds, and as I cleaned up, I cleared a long crack in the altar.
The crack was only the width of my finger, completely hidden by weeds, and it would have been really hard for me to find if it weren't for the rhubarb, which was almost stuffed with silt, and only a few places still had a gap in and out, and the rhubarb got into it through one of the cracks.
I cleaned up the mud and put my finger in, but I didn't touch the edges, indicating that the slate was thicker than my fingers.
I looked around to find some tools, but unfortunately, there was nothing around but weeds and rubble.
I was a little frustrated, if I went back to Miao Village to find tools, I was worried that the little beetle would run away again and again, but the stone slab of the altar was too thick for me to lift at all.
I didn't give up, so I widened the area, and I began to weed the whole altar, and as I weeded I groped with my hands on the altar, and this time I made a new discovery, and in a corner of the altar I found a broken bone!
The broken bone showed two joints, the size and thickness of which I could slightly distinguish and recognize that it was a human finger bone!
Next to the severed finger I found a small loose stone slab, and with my hand I picked away the mud that covered it, and I lifted the small stone slab, and under the slate was an iron ring!
I reached out and grabbed the hoop and tugged hard.
I heard a click!
I suddenly got the momentum, I riveted the iron ring, and I pulled out a thick iron chain attached to the iron ring, and the iron chain rose almost a meter, and I heard a few clicks, and a stone slab on the altar sank suddenly!
The sunken slab was the size of a door, and the slab fell down, revealing a hole.
I didn't rush down, I squatted at the entrance of the cave and looked around for a while, the sunlight slanted into the hole, and by the light I saw a dark passage, and there seemed to be something piled up in the dark passage, and there was a strange smell coming out of the hole, and I waited for a while, and then stepped on the stone slab and got into the hole.
I took out my mobile phone and turned on the flashlight, I took a photo with my mobile phone, and sure enough, it was a dark passage, all made of stone, and there was only one exit from the dark passage, leading to the depths, and some clay pots were pushed on both sides of the dark passage, many of which had been broken.
I looked towards the end of the tunnel, and hesitated, not knowing what this place was, hidden under the altar.
After hesitating for a moment, I began to walk slowly inside, I was already here, and it was obviously impossible to give up and turn back.
The dark passage is not too long, after walking about five or six meters, it took a turn, and then it was another three or four meters dark passage, and then I went around a bend and I arrived at a stone room.
I kept holding up my phone, and I could see clearly in the light that there was a sarcophagus in the middle of the stone room, and there was a person lying on the sarcophagus!
I almost screamed at the sight of this man, but I immediately restrained it, and after the initial panic I immediately recognized that it was a dead man!
It was a dried corpse, the corpse had completely decomposed and withered, and the clothes on it were still there, and I could tell that the corpse was wearing a white shirt on the upper body, and the pants were old-fashioned blue cargo pants, and a pair of rubber shoes on the feet.
I didn't dare to touch it, I used my phone to look for it, and sure enough, the dry corpse was missing an index finger on his right hand!
There is also a canvas bag on the ground, with words on the bag, a few big red letters, to serve the people!
My mind turned, and I thought of a person, Grandpa Dong Hao's missing companion!
There are also several clay pots piled up in the corner of the dark room, and the clay pots are full of ancient coins!
"Ha!" I couldn't help laughing, if Dong Hao was here, he would definitely not be as calm as me!
After laughing, I scratched my head again, why do I always find ancient tombs!
After sighing, I set my eyes on the sarcophagus!
I took off my coat and wrapped it around my right hand, and was about to move when suddenly I heard a buzzing sound in my ears.
"Rhubarb. "I lifted my phone and took a picture of it.
In the light and shadow of the mobile phone, I saw the little beetle again, and the rhubarb chased after it, and the little beetle fled in a panic.
"Rhubarb!" I called, and then I turned and ran outside the stone.
Passing through the tunnel, I stepped onto the sloping stone slab, and the bright light from outside made me close my eyes suddenly, and when I opened them again, I quickly looked up to find them.
In mid-air, Rhubarb was chasing the little beetle.
I just gave Rhubarb a command, and Rhubarb drove the beetle outside.
The little beetle flew slower and slower, I stared at it, and the rhubarb chased after it without hurry under my command, and I was waiting for the moment when it fell from exhaustion.
The beetle was tenacious and flew as hard as it could under the chase of the rhubarb, and eventually it landed on a rock wall and burrowed into a small hole.
I threw away my backpack and climbed the rock wall with all my might, and the gap that the little beetle got into was almost ten meters above the ground, and I struggled to climb up.
I climbed under the little hole that the little beetle had burrowed into, and when I looked in, the hole was not deep, it was about the size of a basketball, and there was a small red grass-like plant growing in the hole, and the little beetle was lying on the leaves of the little red grass.
