The soldier stepped forward and pressed the mechanism on the stone door, only to hear a "boom", and the stone door slowly opened.

After a while, the tomb behind the stone gate appeared in the sight of the soldiers and Sanqing. Because he knew that the soldiers and the others had entered the tomb before, Sanqing didn't think too much about whether there were any hidden weapons or anything like that in the tomb, so he walked in directly, and the soldiers followed.

After entering the tomb, Sanqing's attention immediately fell on the stone carvings surrounding the sarcophagus.

"These stone carvings are the same as the carvings on the walls of the tombway!" After observing for a while, Sanqing opened his mouth and said softly.

"That's right! But I've checked all these stone carvings, and there's nothing special about them, and there's no hidden mechanism! After hearing Sanqing's words, the soldier immediately opened his mouth and made such a response.

"Hmm!" Sanqing nodded, and walked towards the middle of the tomb, quickly bypassing the stone carving and walking to the position where the sarcophagus was placed. He stopped, scanned it, and determined that there were seven sarcophagi in the burial chamber, six of which were covered with lids, and only one was open, and the lid was removed and leaned against the sarcophagus.

"Seven coffins, six have already been mastered, and one is empty, it seems that the ancestor of this Zhang family has already made a decision that only seven people can be buried in this ancestral tomb!" Sanqing muttered while observing the sarcophagus, and when he finished saying this, he happened to come to the empty sarcophagus.

"It stands to reason that such an ancestral tomb should only be qualified to be buried by the head of each generation, and it may be that the ancestor of the Zhang family thought that the Zhang family could only be passed on for seven generations, so he prepared these seven sarcophagi in advance!" followed the Sanqing soldiers and told Sanqing his thoughts.

"It's possible!" Sanqing said in a deep voice, and then leaned over to look at the empty sarcophagus beside him.

"That's not right! These sarcophagi are all different! After seeing the patterns of the empty sarcophagus, Sanqing suddenly found that they were different from the patterns on the other sarcophagus he saw, so he quickly shifted his gaze to the other sarcophagi, only to find that the patterns on each sarcophagus were different.

After hearing Sanqing's words, the soldier immediately circled around the seven sarcophagi, not only found the problem that Sanqing said about the different patterns, but also found that the stone quality of these sarcophagi was also different, so he said: "These sarcophagi are things from different dynasties, cross-costumes, probably from the Shang, Zhou and Ming dynasties!" ”

"That is to say, these seven sarcophagi were not placed here in advance by the ancestors of the Zhang family, but were sent in by the owner of this coffin one by one!" Sanqing continued the soldier's words, and after finishing speaking, he looked at the soldier.

"That's right! If this assumption is true, and it was the Zhang family heads who died that they had these coffins, then how to explain this empty coffin! Speaking of which, the GI was puzzled again.

"What dynasty is this coffin from?" After listening to the soldier's words, Sanqing looked at the empty coffin again, looked at it for a long time, and then asked in a loud voice.

"Ming Dynasty!" The GI replied.

"Ming Dynasty! It is recorded on the Zhang family tree that during the Ming Dynasty, only one person was recorded! At that time, the Zhang family was already down, and the entire Zhang family was less than ten people, living in the Zhang family compound, watching the little savings left by the ancestors to live! The family advocated strictness, originally wanted to be buried in the ancestral grave, but in the end he suddenly died, after his death, no one knew the whereabouts of the ancestral grave, so he was buried elsewhere at will! While observing the sarcophagus, Sanqing recalled what he had seen in the Zhang family tree.

"You, did you memorize the Zhang family tree?" Seeing that Sanqing could casually tell the deeds of a certain ancestor recorded in the Zhang family tree, he couldn't help but be curious.

"When I was looking at the family tree, I wanted to find the whereabouts of the ancestral grave, so I paid special attention to the clues about the ancestral grave!" Sanqing replied casually, but he concealed his ability to never forget.

"You say, could it be that the ancestor of your Zhang family felt that this Yan Ming was not worthy of being buried in this ancestral tomb, so he died violently and was not buried in this ancestral tomb in the end?" The GI thought about it and made such a guess.

"It makes sense to say that when there are no other clues!" Sanqing replied without thinking, then circled around the empty sarcophagus, stopped and continued: "The material of this sarcophagus is average, and the carved patterns are also average, it is possible that Zhang Yanming first let people move in, and then suddenly died with a whimper, which made the Zhang family's ancestral tomb cut off the clue!" ”

Sanqing said as the soldier nodded in agreement with Sanqing's statement.

"I always feel that the placement of these seven sarcophagi is like some kind of ritual!" Sanqing said this, and then went around to the other side of the empty sarcophagus.

"Hey, there's a word on the back of this coffin!" Sanqing squatted down, intending to take a closer look at the patterns on the sarcophagus, but unexpectedly made a new discovery.

"Words?" After hearing Sanqing's words, the soldier hurriedly walked over.

"Uncle GI, help me pull up the lid of this coffin a little!" Seeing the soldier coming, Sanqing hurriedly spoke. The soldier also immediately stopped, walked to the opposite side of Sanqing, put the flashlight aside, stretched out his hands and pulled the coffin lid leaning on the sarcophagus out, thinking that the coffin lid must be extremely heavy, so he used all his strength. Unexpectedly, the lid of the coffin was much clearer than it looked, just like the bluestone slab pressed against the entrance of the tomb.

This time, the soldier used some too much force, and the coffin lid fell on top of him, forcing him to retreat again and again.

"Be careful!" Sanqing, who was squatting on the opposite side, saw that the situation was not good, and suddenly got up and rushed up, and helped the coffin lid, and the soldier was about to stand firmly, and unexpectedly found that the coffin lid had become much heavier again.

"The lid was very light when it first touched it, and now it's heavier again!" After the soldier stood firm and made sure that the lid of the coffin would not fall down again, he said this in a deep voice.

"And that kind of thing?" When Sanqing heard this, he hurriedly reached out and touched the lid of the coffin, making sure that the lid was extremely heavy.

"I guess what kind of mechanism it is, I don't know, the bluestone slab on it is the same!" The GI shook his head and said.

"It's that word again!" At this time, Sanqing's attention was already attracted by the words behind the coffin lid! Then the light from the flashlight placed by the soldier on the side, Sanqing saw the words on the back of the coffin, and determined that these lines were the same font as the words he didn't know from the Zhang family tree, so he didn't know these words, but he felt that these words could have some meaning.

"What kind of word?" The GI asked curiously.

"It's the same character I copied from the Zhang family tree, I can't understand it!" Sanqing replied in a deep voice.

"Then do you want to find something to copy it down, and then find a way to decipher it when the time comes?" The GI asked.

"I'll keep it in my head first! I think there are very likely words on the back of the other six sarcophagi, but now the two of us probably can't open the other sarcophagi, and we'll find a way to see it when we bury Second Uncle Zhang! Hearing the soldier mention it, Sanqing made such a response.

"That's it!" The GI nodded.

After that, Sanqing quickly memorized the words behind the coffin lid, and then worked with the soldiers to push the coffin lid back and lean against the sarcophagus.

The two of them circled around the chamber again, and left the chamber after feeling that there were no other clues.
