As Wang Daling looked in the direction of his finger, Ghost Shuo's heart sank, just now he only cared about the bullet ants outside the door, but he didn't pay attention to what was going on in the hall, and now he was really startled when he looked at it. Luo Yang also turned around slowly, and saw that in the hall that was not too big, the ground was actually full of "people", and there were at least a hundred of them at a glance, all of them were facing the same direction, and there was a platform in that direction, and there was also a "person" sitting on it. The space in the hall is not large, and the light is dim, so it is indeed a little creepy to see this scene coldly.

Luo Yang cautiously leaned over to the nearest "person" and looked at it. Relieved, he turned to them and said, "It's okay, it's all clay dummies." Hearing that it was a dummy, Wang Daling immediately mustered up his courage, dragged his lame leg over, looked at it, touched it, and finally determined that it was a clay sculpture, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief.

Luo Yang took advantage of the gap to take a turn in the hall, the area of the hall is indeed not large, and it is a little crowded when it is occupied by this full of kneeling maids. Unlike the tombs of other princes and nobles, the burial chamber of Payazhen did not have an ear chamber for the burial goods, and the entire hall did not even have any burial goods except for the more than 100 kneeling servants.

Ghost Shuo took a closer look at the costume of the kneeling maid, it should belong to the Paya Zhen period, and the kneeling maid itself didn't seem to be anything special. It's right to think about it, the economy was not developed when Paya Zhen unified Mengxi, and it was not easy to build an altar here, and there would never be a thick burial. Moreover, Paya Zhen was a general during his lifetime, so he should not be so interested in gold and silver treasures.

The front of the platform in the middle is engraved with the words "Summoning the Dragon is really fierce" in the ancient style of Mengxi, these words Luo Yang knows himself, and it seems that the "person" sitting on the platform should be Paya Zhen. There is a stone platform behind the statue, and a coffin made of stone is placed on the stone platform, and the sleeping body in it should be the body of Paya Zhen.

Luo Yang said that generally speaking, the owner of the tomb will bring the most precious objects into the coffin together, so the legendary dragon turtle glass plate is likely to be in this coffin. Ghost Shuo answered, "Do you mean we're going to open the coffin?" ”

Luo Yang thought for a while, nodded and replied: "From the time we entered the altar to the present, we have not found any burial objects, except for the murals on the wall, there is no more information, if we don't open the coffin, we must not be able to find the dragon turtle glass plate." Onishuo frowned and acquiesced.

As he spoke, Loyan had taken a candle from his bosom, lit it, and placed it in the corner of the sarcophagus.

Seeing this, Wang Daling couldn't help but laugh and said, "You kid is so exquisite!" Such a big plate, which can be seen by a blind man, still needs to light a candle? ”

Luo Yang said in a low voice: "There is a rule for hair mound and touching gold, a candle will be lit when the coffin is opened, this is a contract between the living and the dead, and the light is extinguished and the gold is not touched!" Luo Yang continued: "By the way, touching gold means stealing treasure. ”

Wang Daling slurred his lips and said in a low voice: "The contract between the living and the dead? That's a mystery! ”

Luo Yang replied: "Actually, it's not mysterious, it's just that the corpse has been in the coffin for many years, and it is inevitable that there will be corpse poison or other poisonous gases in it. As he spoke, Luo Yang was ready, Ghost Shuo and Wang Daling respectively pressed the corner of the sarcophagus lid under his command, Luo Yang nodded, and the three of them began to push the sarcophagus lid together.

The sarcophagus lid was slowly pushed open by the three of them, but at the same time, Ghost Shuo faintly heard a mechanical turning sound, and when the sarcophagus lid was opened about a third of the way, he suddenly heard a muffled sound of "bang". Luo Yang hurriedly motioned for the three of them to stop, and when he looked up, he saw that the more than 100 kneeling servants who were originally kneeling had all stood up at this moment, and an ominous premonition suddenly rose in Ghost Shuo's heart.

Wang Daling lightly touched Ghost Shuo and made a look, Ghost Shuo followed his gaze, and the flame of the candle turned green at this moment, and it appeared from time to time. Seeing this scene, Ghost Shuo was shocked, and whispered to Luo Yang, "Why did this firelight turn green?" ”

Luo Yang's attention was attracted by the hundred or so kneeling figurines who suddenly stood up, and he glanced at the candle, only to see that the candle was flickering with a faint green light, as if it would be extinguished at any moment. Ghost Shuo could see that Luo Yang was also a little uneasy in his heart at the moment! Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced into the coffin, and was suddenly even more shocked, blurting out, "Empty!" How could this coffin be empty? ”

The shock of the empty coffin to Luo Yang is obviously far greater than the discoloration of the "candle", the discoloration of the fire may be due to the poison of the corpse in the coffin, or it may be that poison gas was deliberately put into the coffin at the time of burial, so that the tomb robbers were poisoned and died on the spot, which is not difficult to explain. But the empty coffin is indeed a bit incredible, Luo Yang hurriedly leaned into the coffin, ready to further confirm, but as soon as Luo Yang leaned over, he realized that something was wrong, and a hidden sense of crisis spread rapidly, and he hurriedly shouted: "Be careful!" Get down! ”

As soon as the words fell, the flame of the candle was extinguished! At the same time, the arrow clusters of "Boom, Boom, Boom" shot from all directions, like a torrential rain, all concentrated on the coffin, some rebounded to the ground, Ghost Shuo was afraid of being injured by the arrow clusters that fell down, and hurriedly pulled Wang Daling to roll, and came to the front of the kneeling figurines standing in the first row.

A few people were spared, even if they hesitated for a second just now, they may have been doomed now, they looked at the coffin that had been densely packed with arrows, like a "hedgehog", and their hearts couldn't help but palpitate.

At this moment, Luo Yang also crawled along the ground in front of the two of them, and whispered: "Mechanism! I must have opened the lid of the coffin and touched the mechanism! Onishuo nodded, it turned out that this was the source of the mechanical sound he heard when he pushed the lid of the coffin just now.

Wang Daling asked, "I can't stop watching this arrow for a while and a half, what should we do?" ”

Luo Yang thought for a moment and replied, "I'll go and close the lid of the coffin." ”

"No! It's too dangerous! Ghost Shuo hurriedly dissuaded. Luo Yang smiled: "Trust me, I have a way. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Yang rolled out along the ground, and the arrows "snapped" next to him, fortunately, Luo Yang's skills were not bad, one by one, he avoided them one by one, and after a few strokes, he rolled under the coffin, and then climbed to the tail of the sarcophagus, Luo Yang lay flat on the ground, and then kicked the sarcophagus lid with his feet, this method really worked, the strength of the legs was obviously much greater than the hands, the power of the original three people, at the moment it was only Luo Yang, the sarcophagus lid had begun to move, and there was a mechanical sound from the ground just now, and after a while, there was a sound of "bang", The sarcophagus was finally covered, the arrows stopped, and all the kneeling figurines knelt back again.

Ghost Shuo breathed a sigh of relief and returned his attention to the coffin, and he opened his mouth to Luo Yang and asked, "The coffin is empty, can you see it clearly?" ”

Luo Yang stood up, nodded, and replied, "I checked just now, and it is indeed empty." ”

Wang Daling answered in surprise: "What? We tossed half a life, just to find an empty coffin? ”

The corners of Luo Yang's mouth raised, pointed to the tail of the sarcophagus, and said in a low voice: "You see, this sarcophagus seems to have two layers, just like a magician's props for magic, one layer opens nothing, and another layer is used to use things, and I also found the secret just now when I was lying at the end of the sarcophagus." ”

Hearing him say this, Ghost Shuo hurriedly took a closer look, and there were indeed two gaps in the sarcophagus, which should be the so-called "mezzanine", and after thinking for a while, Ghost Shuo also understood the mystery.

Under normal circumstances, tomb robbers open the coffin from the head of the coffin, so Paya Zhen made an article on his coffin, pushing the coffin lid from above, that is, opening the first layer, not only triggering the mechanism of the arrow cluster, but also releasing the poisonous gas in the coffin, which can also be confirmed from the "candle" to green. And the way to really open the Phaya coffin should be to open the second layer from the tail.

With his fate hanging by a thread just now, this time Ghost Shuo became more cautious, and took a good look around the sarcophagus a few times, and then finally confirmed the guess. The three of them then divided their labor, carefully and slowly pushing the lid of the coffin, this time without the sound of machinery turning, and the surroundings were surprisingly quiet.

After a while, the sarcophagus was finally pushed open, there was no change around it, and the hearts of the three of them were somewhat relaxed. Lying in the sarcophagus is a dry bone, dressed in military uniform, but the clothes have been very badly decayed, holding a rusty long sword, Ghost Shuo sighed, no matter how glorious a generation of heroes was in life, they can only turn into white bones after death and sleep here.

Paya Zhen did not practice a thick burial, the coffin was so simple that there was nothing, there was a book next to the pillow, Luo Yang picked it up and looked at it, the content recorded in the book was mostly the deeds of Paya Zhen during his lifetime, and there was no important information. Nothing else.

Wang Daling was surprised: "What about the dragon turtle glass plate? Isn't it here? None of them answered.

Wang Daling said excitedly: "How is this possible? Let's look again. As he spoke, he reached out to take the rusty iron sword, but as soon as Wang Daling touched the iron sword, he heard a muffled sound of "bang", which was the same as the sound made when he touched the mechanism before!

Luo Yang reflexively shouted, "Get down!" The three of them quickly lay down.

At the same time, I only heard the sound of chains coming from above the heads of the three people, and it seemed that a huge thing had fallen from the sky, and the sound of "boom" stopped again... Ghost Shuo slowly opened his eyes and looked around, the top of the entire hall was actually a huge iron plate, except for the position where the sarcophagus was placed and left empty, the other places were densely covered with steel knives, just now it fell down all of a sudden, and when it fell to the same height as the kneeling figurines, it was stopped by the iron chains around it, and the steel knife was now less than thirty centimeters away from the three people, and Ghost Shuo suddenly understood why these archery figurines were kneeling postures, it turned out that on the one hand, they really respected Paya, But more importantly, this steel knife will not be stopped by the archery figurines when it descends to assassinate the tomb robbers...
