Chapter 102: The Jade Coffin in the Dark Room
Like the cycle of time and space, seeing the monk again made my heart fluctuate.
By the light I saw a dagger in the monk's chest, the monk was dead, I don't know what happened, the monk died here, he fell into the water with Tuye, I was in the same boat with Zhou Zheng, the monk and Tuye, after falling into the water, I never saw Tuye and the monk again, until I escaped.
Since the monks died here, it means that they have also experienced a lot, and I originally thought that none of them would survive.
Who killed the monk? Since the monk was killed, it means that there is at least one other person.
The most likely person with the monk is Tuye.
Why did Tu Ye kill the monk? I can't figure it out, the monk was the closest to Tu Ye in the eight-person team.
After checking the monk's body, I took the light stick and began to search again, the monk died at the door of a stone room, the surrounding stone wall has obvious traces of artificial excavation, in the middle of the stone room is a stone platform, rectangular, there is nothing on it, but it can be seen that there was something in the beginning.
The stone chamber is closed on all sides, there is no other exit, and there are still some colorful pigments left on the stone wall, but the original pattern can no longer be seen in the mottled way.
In one corner of the stone chamber were several pottery utensils, and there were some grass and wood fragments on the ground, and there was a string of blood stains on the floor, which stretched from the high platform to the door of the stone chamber.
I was frustrated after the search because I couldn't find an exit.
I went through the monk's body again, then the backpack, and I found a headlamp that was not lit, and a telescopic cane, two gas cans, a sleeping bag, half a bottle of water, and in the pocket of the monk's clothes, I also found a lighter and half a pack of cigarettes.
I took a sip of the water bottle, then lit a cigarette, and sat next to the monk's corpse against the rock wall.
I remembered that the big lizard had bruised my neck when it pounced on me.
I reached out and touched my body, and pulled out a silk scarf in my close pocket, which was given to me by Ma Lao, and I wrapped the silk scarf around my neck with a wry smile.
After a lot of tossing, my body has already reached its limit, and if it weren't for the strong desire to survive, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to hold on.
The light of the light stick gradually went out, and I fell into the darkness again, I couldn't help but sigh, I felt helpless, but there was no despair, I knew that Uncle Wei must be looking for me, and Tu Ye, it should be that he killed the monk, and there was no trace of him in the stone room, indicating that he was gone, so where did he go?
My brain was groggy, I wanted to think but I couldn't lift it, and I fell asleep before I finished a cigarette......
The nose is itchy, followed by the face, something keeps hitting me, again and again!
I subconsciously waved my hand, and then I woke up!
"Copperhead!" I cried out in surprise.
The copper head fell on the tip of my nose in an instant, I couldn't see it, but I could feel its emotions, the copper head was angry, it scratched my nose with its claws.
"Ahh
"I didn't leave you behind, I almost died!" I explained.
"How did you find me!" I laughed.
The sudden appearance of the copper head makes me feel very good, at least I have company, the copper head can show that it has found a way out, maybe I can't walk its way, but at least there is hope.
"What about them?" I asked again.
The copper head buzzed up and flew up, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
It wasn't long before the rest of the Fly Squad flew in, and Copperhead landed on me with them.
"It's good to have you. "My eyes are red.
The fly squad flew around me, looking very happy.
I gave them a rest, and then gave them the task of finding an exit in the stone chamber.
If Tu Ye can escape, I will definitely be able to!
The Fly Squad scattered away, the stone chamber was not large, and soon a member of the Fly Squad flew back to me, and it landed on my face with excitement.
"So fast!" I was stunned for a moment.
But the little fly's reaction was clearly a discovery, and I understood its excitement, and it came back earlier than the copper head, and there was a hint of eagerness to show its merit.
I took out another light stick and screwed it up.
The little fly led me to the stone platform in the center of the stone chamber, and it flew straight to the side of the stone platform and landed.
I took the light stick and swept it, there was half a faint handprint on the stone platform, I searched before, but I didn't find it, the handprint was red, it should be stained with blood.
"So that's what you found. "I'm a little disappointed, the fly likes the smell of blood, and it's clear that the little fly doesn't understand what I mean.
At this time, the copperhead and the other little flies returned, and there was nothing else to be found, and my gaze unconsciously fell on the bloody handprint.
The monk is dead, and the handprint from the traces he left is not quite like the monk's, so it can only be the murderer's, I consciously set the murderer as Tuye, why did Tuye leave a handprint here?
My mind suddenly moved, and I stretched out my hand and pressed it on the bloody handprint!
A hard push.
"Click!" A few soft sounds, the stone platform base sank suddenly, and a big hole was suddenly revealed in the ground!
I was startled, and then I became excited, I didn't expect to be found so easily!
The exposed hole has steps that extend underneath, and it is clear that there is a dark chamber under the stone platform.
I didn't rush down, I threw the light stick in my hand into the hole, and there was no response!
I took a deep breath and had to take the plunge, and I went down the steps, and sure enough, it was a dark room, and in the middle of the dark room was a white jade coffin.
I glanced around, and the dark room was empty.
The area of the dark room is as large as the stone room above, and the layout is the same, but the surrounding walls are not made of rock, some of them are similar to white marble, I touched it with my hand, and the tentacles were cold.
I slowly walked to the coffin, the coffin is made of similar materials to the wall, I took a light stick to take a photo, and found that there were several bloody handprints on the coffin lid, and then looked closely, the coffin lid seemed to have been opened.
I hesitated for a moment, I didn't know whether to open the lid of the coffin, if the handprint was left by Tu Ye, would he have set a trap in the coffin?
After a moment of hesitation, curiosity overcame me, there was no other exit in this dark room, could it be in the coffin?
I exhaled, put my hand on the lid of the coffin, tried hard, and sure enough, it was loose, I gritted my teeth, and slammed my shoulders and pushed hard!
"Whew!" the lid of the coffin made a gurgling sound, and I pushed it open a crack.
I picked up the light stick and shone it into the coffin, and then I screamed!
"Zhou Zheng!"
There was a person lying in the coffin, face up, not Zhou Zheng or anyone!
