Chapter 0442 - Sarcophagus Ancient Corpse

Tang Yuyan and Long Bing sat on the edge of the pit, eating while looking at Xia Lei who continued to dig in the pit, and Xia Lei's butt also became the focus of their attention.

"It's ugly for a man to wear these pants. Tang Yuyan ate an energy bar, disgusted with authenticity.

Long Bing said lightly: "Even if it's ugly, it's not yours." ”

Tang Yuyan bit half of the energy bar and looked at Long Bing with fierce eyes.

At this moment, a muffled sound suddenly came from the earthen pit. Tang Yuyan and Long Bing's gaze shifted to the dirt pit, and they saw a brown stone slab appear under Xia Lei's feet. Although it is not fully exposed, it is still easy to distinguish from the soil under the light of the glow stick.

Xia Lei shaved a few times with the sapper's shovel, and the entire stone slab was exposed, and he said excitedly: "Found it! The thing should be down there!"

"What's down there?" Tang Yuyan's voice was full of surprise.

"Is there an ancient tomb down there?" Long Bing's voice sounded.

Xia Lei glanced up at the two women and said, "Maybe it's an ancient tomb." Give me the rock bulking agent in my bag and I'm going to open it. ”

Long Bing quickly found a canned rock bulking agent and threw it to Xia Lei.

Tang Yuyan said, "Do you want us to help?"

Xia Lei said: "No, it will be done soon." ”

Xia Lei used a hammer and a steel drill for grave digging to punch holes in the gaps between the stone slabs. At that time, there was no such thing as cement at all, and the slate was still filled with triple soil. This special clay is very hard and has some strength, but it is not as strong as cement. It didn't take him long to make four holes in the four sides of the slate and inject rock bulking agent into the holes.

The rock bulking agent comes into contact with the air and quickly develops a chemical reaction. There was a clattering sound from the cracks in the slate, and under the force of expansion, the slab began to loosen and move upward. Finally, after the expansion force has reached its limit, the slate is lifted out of the horizontal plane.

Xia Lei used the iron drill to pry twice, and the slate was removed.

Beneath the slate was a pitch-black space, and a musty smell of stuffiness permeated from below. I don't know if it's poisonous, Xia Lei followed and left the cave.

Tang Yuyan and Long Bing couldn't stay any longer, and jumped off the pit one after another. Tang Yuyan moved the tactical flashlight in her hand to the entrance of the cave and shone it below.

Underneath the entrance is a stone passage that slopes 45 degrees into the ground. The passage is very long, coupled with the inclination of forty-five degrees, the tactical flashlight in Tang Yuyan's hand will not shine at all.

Long Bing pulled out the oil storage tank of a Zhibao lighter, lit it, and threw it into the stone passage. The fire was quickly extinguished, and there was no oxygen in the stone passage.

This phenomenon is very normal, this ancient tomb was built under an ancient drainage ditch, and the sealing must have been done very well. Otherwise, it would have been flooded with water in the gutter long ago.

"Wait for me up there, and I'll go in and see. Xia Lei said.

Long Bing said worriedly: "There is no air below, it is dangerous for you to go down alone." ”

"Yes. Tang Yuyan said: "Let's go in with you, so that we can take care of one more thing." ”

Xia Lei shook his head, "No." There is no oxygen underneath and I can solve the problem with an oxygen cylinder. But that kind of thing has the power to kill and madness. So, you can't come in with me, just stay outside and wait for me." ”

"But......" Long Bing stopped talking.

Xia Lei smiled, "Don't worry, I'll be fine." Didn't I dig up an ancient tomb in Afghanistan and bring out the ancient alloy? I don't know why I'm okay, but you're not like me, you can't take risks. That's it, I'll go down first. ”

A few minutes later, Xia Lei put on all his equipment, entered the passage through the gap in the stone slab, and walked down the passage with a tactical flashlight.

"Xia Lei, be careful. Tang Yuyan's voice.

Xia Lei turned around and saw Tang Yuyan and Long Bing in the gap, he saw their worried looks, and also saw the dents between their legs outlined by the rubber skin clothes. It was a strange feeling for him, and he smiled wryly, didn't say anything, just waved his hand, and moved on.

Leaning down, Xia Lei walked almost fifty meters to the end of the passage.

At the end of the passage is a stone gate, larger than the stone gate of Princess Eimi's tomb. Xia Lei came to the stone gate, awakened the ability of perspective, and conducted perspective on the stone gate. This time, his line of sight penetrated the stone gate and did not encounter the "glue" blocking the view.

Gluing, in fact, is a group of large bats in Princess Yongmei's tomb, which will gnaw human flesh and be very fierce. But this time I didn't meet it. Without oxygen, bats can't survive.

The burial chamber behind the stone door was an absolutely dark space, although Xia Lei's vision penetrated the stone door, all he could see was darkness, and after adapting to that darkness, he could only see some blurred images according to the volume of the object, such as the pillar and the sarcophagus.

After observing, Charley took out the stone blasting units, glued them to the four corners of the stone door, and then retreated to a safe distance, detonating the blasting units.

After a few loud bangs, the stone gate collapsed. Dust swept up and filled the passageway. Xia Lei wore an oxygen mask, and he could also feel the strong wind blowing on his face.

After the stone gate fell to the ground, Xia Lei came to the door of the tomb with a tactical flashlight. With the experience of exploring the tomb of Princess Yongmei last time, this time he learned to be obedient, first looking through the ground and making sure that there were no traps before entering.

This tomb is larger than the tomb of Princess Yongmei, but the furnishings are much simpler, there are no treasure chests for jewelry and jade, no fine porcelain, only four rough-looking stone statues. They look like ancient samurai, clad in armor and armed with swords and shields.

Behind the four samurai statues is a stone altar with a sarcophagus on it. This is not as good as the tomb of Princess Yongmei, Princess Yongmei is a jade coffin.

The entire burial chamber, except for the four crude statues, has only one sarcophagus. This made Xia Lei's search easy, and the compass in his hand pointed straight at the sarcophagus, and the frequency of the tremor reached its limit.

Charley ascended the altar, looked through the sarcophagus, and after making sure there was no danger, he opened the sarcophagus.

Among the sarcophagi is the body of a man, well preserved, and the skin even looks elastic, as in the case of Princess Nagami. He looked to be in his sixties and seventies, slightly chubby, with thick blond hair and a beard. He was also wearing clothes, the fabric of which was silk and cotton, and the style of the clothes was very simple, and it was impossible to tell what age it was.

There was only one small object in the sarcophagus, a black pointer.

"There's also a treasure spot?" Xia Lei's brows suddenly furrowed.

Discover a new pointer, which means that there is still a treasure spot. Change the pointer on the compass and it will point you in a new direction and find the next treasure spot.

Although he felt a little headache, Xia Lei still put away the new pointer. He then pried open the man's mouth and pulled out a piece of ancient alloy from his mouth.

It's weird, the last time in Afghanistan, after he took out the ancient alloy in Princess Yongmei's mouth, Princess Yongmei's corpse was immediately gorgeous, and even the bones turned into powder, but this time the male corpse was still good, and there was no sign of elegance at all.

"Huh?" Xia Lei was surprised, "What's going on?"

Xia Lei's ability to awaken his left eye gives him a deep perspective on the corpse. With this perspective, his scalp was numb. This male corpse actually has several pieces of ancient alloy hidden in his stomach!

No wonder, he took out the ancient alloy from the mouth of the male corpse, but the male corpse was not weathered.

"What is the identity of this old man when he is alive?" Xia Lei's mind became active, "Princess Yongmei only has one piece of ancient alloy on his body, but he has one piece in his mouth, and he has four pieces hidden in his stomach, and he has as many as five pieces! However, the tomb is hidden in the basement of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, in the same location as the place where Jesus' body is kept...... Could it be that he is Jesus?"

The idea popped up, and Xia Lei himself was taken aback.

Subsequently, he dismissed this extremely bold conjecture. In the Bible story, Jesus was resurrected three days after His death, and there is no body of Jesus in this world.

Thinking about it, Xia Lei couldn't guess the identity of this old man. One thing is certain, however, that the old man has been around longer than the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. It is possible that he was a figure from 300 years ago, or even a figure from BC.

In the end, Xia Lei stripped off the old man's clothes and prepared to disembowelment with a knife. However, several strange patterns on the old man's chest made him unable to move.

Those patterns are not tattoos, but are painted with some kind of paint or blood. More than a thousand years have passed, and yet they are still clear and complete. There are bats with fluttering wings, there are square boxes, there are burning black flames, and there are arched stone gates.

Xia Lei's gaze fell on the box, unable to take his eyes off it.

He had always suspected that the parts of the ancient alloy would be combined into a box, and now that suspicion had been confirmed. Because he saw the exact same lines on the pattern of the box as on the ancient alloy parts, as well as the exact matching size and the overall shape of the individual parts!

Then, his gaze shifted to the bat, and he understood in his heart, "No wonder I didn't notice these patterns when I looked through this old man's body just now, they were drawn with the blood of that kind of bat, which has special abilities and is immune to my perspective." ”

Then, his eyes moved to the arch, but his heart was confused, "What is this arch? Is this pattern on the old man's body a hint?"

What is the connection between the mysterious bat, the mysterious box, the mysterious arch?

If you put all the ancient alloy parts together and piece together a complete box, what would it bring?

These were deeply troubled by Xia Lei, and he couldn't find the answer after thinking about it.

A few minutes later, he slashed the old man's abdomen with a knife. The sharp and cold blade cut through the flesh of the old man, no blood spilled, and the white flesh was as soft as cheese, without resistance.

There was no sound in the burial chamber, but Xia Lei seemed to hear someone whispering in a dark corner, as if cursing him.

Cutting open the old man's abdomen, Xia Lei forcibly endured the feeling of nausea and took out the four ancient alloy parts from the old man's stomach.

As soon as the four ancient alloy parts in his stomach separated from his body, the old man's body instantly weathered, and together with the clothes on his body, it turned into a pile of ash in the blink of an eye.

Instead of leaving the burial chamber immediately, Xia Lei locked on to one of the ancient alloy parts with his left eye, and then jumped lightly......
