Master Liang gestured to Liang Youcai. Liang Youcai immediately walked out of the stone room and checked a few side openings outside the stone room.

After a while, Liang Youcai came back and said, "Uncle, every one of those side doors is in a hurry, and there are many forks from that side to this side, and even further...... If I hadn't kept in mind which fork in the road I had taken, I might not have come back! ”

Liang Shiyou said: "The cave where this Weiyang Palace is located should be a huge natural karst cave, which extends in all directions and has countless forks in the road. Since there are so many forks in the road on the road, why can Lao Chen still come here without mishesitation? Unless it was an illusion that led him or forced him to get here. If it was just a simple hallucination, Cao Xuan and Lao Chen were two people, with different consciousness, memories and cognitions, how could they do exactly the same behavior after seeing the illusion - they got into the coffin and made a corpse, and in the end they were both scared to death, and the expressions on their faces were exactly the same......"

Everyone also nodded, feeling that what Master Liang said this time was very reasonable, but there were also different opinions: "Maybe it's really a coincidence......"

No matter how Cao Xuan and Lao Chen came here and made corpses, we know at least one thing now, that is, what Cao Xuan experienced after taking his troops into the mountain.

"Actually, Cao Xuan was also like us back then, and he found the Shangluo Palace first, and after passing through the blood thistle, he also lost his soldiers. Just in case, he divided the rest of the people into two routes, one part advanced to Wanzhi City, and then Cao Xuan waited outside the city with another part of the people, wanting to make sure that it was safe before entering. "I said to the altar analysis.

Tanzi asked, "How do you know that they are divided into two armies?" ”

"Then you still need to think about it?" I knocked on the head of the altar, "Do you remember what Professor Jin said about how the stone gate mechanism in Wanzhi City was opened?" ”

"Of course I do! Didn't you use a bucket or something to collect water and then hang it? Jar said.

"That's right, once such a big mechanism is activated, it won't take a year and a half to get full of water, right? Cao Xuan: They don't have modern high explosives to blow open such a thick front and rear stone gates, of course, it is impossible to escape from the place where we came out......"

"Then they had to go back the way they came?" Jiang Jie is thorough.

I approvingly said, "Yes, they should have turned back the same way." ”

"And the group that went in first was locked up in the city of Ten Thousand Folds, and naturally they were burned to the ground......," I continued, "and he had to flee with the rest of the people." After that, it's purely my personal guess......"

"Tell me about it!" Jiang Jie said with interest.

"Cao Xuan and others were trapped in the mountains and wandered around, and later inadvertently discovered the mountain belly waterway, and after leaving a few people to feed the frogs, they took people in." I expressed my speculation, "In the waterway, they were also besieged by the water drifters, and he asked his soldiers to resist the water drifters, and he retreated to the waterhole at the belly of the mountain with a few of his cronies. ”

"Didn't many of you wear military clothes when you meet those drifters?" I asked.

"Well~ there are indeed a lot, at least there must be dozens!" Jiang Jie nodded involuntarily.

I said, "I guess they are the big-headed soldiers who were left by Cao Xuan as cannon fodder and later killed by the water drifters in the waterway." Their bodies remain in the waterways after they die, and over time they become monsters. ”

"What about Cao Xuan?" Jar asked.

It is understood that Cao Xuan himself is a southerner, who grew up by the sea since he was a child, and has a particularly good water nature. So when he was cornered, he and a few of his subordinates jumped into the pool to hide. They kept diving, and the rest of the people couldn't hold their breath anymore, so they went up, but never came down. Cao Xuan dived desperately, accidentally discovered the entrance of the secret passage, entered here, and found Weiyang Palace. I said, "I guess that's why there's only one corpse here......

"After that, Cao Xuan accidentally touched the leaf of 'Hei Zhang Fei', and was cut open with a small opening, and then hallucinated...... Just like Lao Chen, he came to this stone chamber and got into the coffin......"

After the two coffins were completely opened, we turned our eyes to the bronze coffin, not knowing what kind of weirdness it was inside.

The front and back of this bronze coffin are two unclear heads of divine beasts, holding two large copper rings. Professor Jin told us that this is a sacred beast to ward off evil spirits, which is said to have the effect of driving away evil spirits and avoiding evil, and some tombs use evil spirits as tomb beasts. On the side of the coffin, there are several rotating bronze lines engraved on the coffin.

Two holes were found under the side barriers on each side of the coffin. It looks like it was deliberately left behind when making the bronze coffin. The upper one is five or six centimeters high, the middle is wide and the two sides are narrow, and the widest part is more than one centimeter. The one below is a round hole with a diameter of three centimeters. Cao Fenghua and the others tried to poke inside from the entrance of the cave, but they didn't see any movement.

Seeing that no one spoke, everyone looked at Uncle Xu and Mo Ji, waiting for their instructions.

"So what are you waiting for? Open the coffin! Mo Ji ordered.

Seeing that Uncle Xu did not object, Cao Fenghua and Lu Daxun commanded a few people to open the bronze coffin.

The people lifted the lid of the coffin vigorously, and suddenly the bronze coffin made a loud "gran" sound, and a gap was opened. The man closest to the coffin was overjoyed and hurriedly leaned towards the gap. Immediately afterwards, I saw a "bang", leaned back, and fell to the ground.

"Everyone, be careful!"

Seeing this, the rest of the people hurriedly retreated far back, while Lu Daxun and Cao Fenghua rushed forward and snatched back the man who fell to the ground.

"What's going on?" "What's in the coffin?" Everyone asked one after another.

"This doesn't need to be asked, of course it's a toxic gas!" The altar said, "People have been dead for so long, the coffin must be full of toxic and harmful gases, he leaned forward and breathed hard, he must have inhaled the gas in the coffin." Otherwise, how could those tomb robbers eat obstacle pills before entering the tomb, or cover their faces with a cloth soaked in medicinal liquid; In modern times, when science and technology have developed, gas masks have been used instead, which actually means the same thing. ”

"Xiao Zhou is right!" Professor Jin said, "I guess that's the case too. ”

At this time, the man who had fainted gradually woke up. Lu Daxun hurriedly asked, "What happened?" The man looked blank: "I...... I don't know, the coffin lid just opened and I wanted to go up and see it clearly, but I didn't expect to feel dizzy and numb, and then I fell unconscious......"
