Chapter Seventy-Two: The Catacomb
Chapter 72: The Catacomb
The three cypress trees stood side by side, like the green incense planted on the grave when you went to the grave. Behind the cypress tree www.biquge.info is a small bulging grave, which is no different from an ordinary grave from the outside, just a mound that can be seen everywhere in the countryside.
Zhang Kai frowned involuntarily, and through his eyes coated with cow tears, he clearly saw that there was a trace of black smoke on the grave, which was indescribably weird! Needless to say, Wu Jinfeng's soul must be trapped in this!
Zhang Kai walked around the head of the mound, but did not find any place to enter the grave. He is a living person, even if he knows that Wu Jinfeng is trapped under the grave, for a while, he is a little helpless, even if he wants to dig the grave, he must have tools in his hands, right?
What's more, in the countryside, digging people's ancestral graves is something that people who lack morality and smoke are not **, Zhang Kai is a monk, and he can't do this kind of thing!
Zhang Kai's eyes were like a good eye, and he didn't let go of any clues, and searched carefully, but found a hidden cave entrance behind a half-human-high thatch. Zhang Kai's heart moved, and he hurriedly walked over, but saw that the cave was straight down, the entrance of the cave was only the size of a person, and the outside was well hidden with dead branches and fallen leaves, if it weren't for Zhang Kai's sharp eyes, he wouldn't have found it at all!
It's a thief hole! Since there is a robbery hole, it proves that there must be a lot of burial goods in the tomb below, and the identity of the owner of the tomb is definitely not simple!
Zhang Kai frowned slightly, and without any hesitation, he jumped down. The entrance to the cave is not big, but it is very deep below, and it is estimated that after falling forty or fifty meters, Zhang Kai fell to the ground suddenly. I only felt that it was pitch black all around, and I couldn't feel the rock wall of the cave that was almost close to my body before, Zhang Kai reached out and touched it around, but he didn't touch the rock wall.
He took out a fire talisman from his jacket pocket, Zhang Kai pinched it in his hand, and used a little spiritual power to use it, and the fire talisman "Whew!" ~", it burst into flames, and a small flame came out, leaving on Zhang Kai's fingertips.
With the help of the fire ball turned into by the fire talisman, Zhang Kai finally saw the surroundings clearly. Only then did he realize that he was in an underground cavern. The cave is very large and spacious, there are several stone benches and stone tables not far from Zhang Kai in the middle, and there are two rows of statues of beast heads and human bodies standing further away against the rock wall of the cave. In the middle of the symmetry of the statue of the head of the beast, there are two stone doors.
Zhang Kai's heart moved, and he walked to the stone gate in a few steps, but saw that there was a stone carving gossip on the top frame of the stone gate, and in the middle of the stone gate, there were two bronze beast rings inlaid with the chest of the person, and where the two stone doors touched, there were two big talismans with oblique crossing, but now, the two talismans had become dilapidated and mottled and fell off.
Zhang Kai took a step forward, stared at the runes on the talisman and looked at it carefully, vaguely feeling that the runes on it were somewhat similar, thinking about it carefully, but it was not very different from any talisman he had come into contact with in the past, and he didn't know what the rune was!
After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Kai stretched out his hands and pressed them on the stone door, only to feel that the palm of his left hand was hot, Zhang Kai's heart moved, and he hurriedly withdrew his left hand to take a look, but saw that the dragon totem pattern in the palm of his hand faintly glowed with a milky white light.
Zhang Kai's heart moved, the last time the dragon totem reacted, it was when he guessed the stone on the antique street. This time, there was an induction again, could it be that there was any treasure in it?
Zhang Kai just turned this thought in his heart, but Wu Jinfeng's appearance suddenly popped up in his mind, and he couldn't help but shake his head, secretly thinking: Zhang Kai, Zhang Kai, when is it, what treasure do you still have in mind, Sister Feng is still worried and scared inside!
Thinking of Sister Feng, Zhang Kai suddenly remembered that this was a tomb, and Wu Jinfeng's soul was trapped in it! I'm afraid the chance of having demons and monsters in it is far greater than the chance of having treasures, right?
Thinking of this, Zhang Kai secretly raised his vigilance, stretched out his hand and pressed it on the stone door again, and pushed it hard, the stone door "squeaked", and was slowly pushed away by Zhang Kai.
In front of Zhang Kai was a very large boxy tomb. Through the fire on the tips of his fingers, the first thing Zhang Kai saw was the two stone statues with two eyes protruding behind the stone gate, blue-faced fangs with bloody mouths, and ancient halberds in their hands, standing on both sides of the bluestone slab straight, standing opposite each other, like two guards. In the distance, there seemed to be some stone statues that looked exactly like them.
Zhang Kai saw an everlasting lamp on the left behind the stone gate by the firelight, so he walked to the lamp, lit the lamp with the firelight in his hand, and walked to the other side to light the everlasting lamp.
As soon as the two permanent lamps were lit, the burial chamber suddenly became much brighter. With the help of the light, Zhang Kai found that there seemed to be a few permanent lights on the surrounding walls. Facing the stone gate, it is a straight bluestone slab straight road.
At the end of the straight is a huge sarcophagus on a seven-foot platform. On both sides of the straight, a short distance, stood two stone statues with green fangs holding halberds.
Behind the statues, there were two silvery pools, with a ten-centimeter-deep layer of water-like liquid. As soon as the fire shone, a faint layer of mist appeared on the pool.
Zhang Kai accidentally inhaled a breath of mist, but his face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly held his breath and used internal breath to breathe instead. The mist turned out to be mercury, and needless to say, the liquid in the pool was mercury!
To collect such two large pools of mercury, and it has been volatilizing for a long time, and there are still so many left, the energy and material resources spent on building this tomb can be imagined! The owner of the tomb must also be a wealthy or noble official, or even a prince or princess!
Zhang Kai paused slightly, his eyes were blazing, he looked around, but he didn't see anything unclean, so he carefully stepped on the bluestone slab straight and walked towards the sarcophagus step by step.
Before he took three steps, he heard a few soft sounds on both sides, and arrows shot from both sides and shot at Zhang Kai. Zhang Kai's eyes were quick, left and right, he reached out and grabbed two feather arrows, one side of the body let go of the other, and he quickly stepped on the first two steps.
As soon as the feather arrows shot from both sides, the stone statues on both sides of the straight road suddenly came to life, like robots, waving the halberd in his hand and slashing at Zhang Kai's head. Although the stone statues were clumsy and could not even move when they stood there, the straight path was already narrow enough for one person to walk.
The halberd in the hand of the stone statue was chopped down, but the entire straight road was blocked, and there were mercury pools on both sides.
