Chapter 340: The sarcophagus

We are trapped in the strange mountains of Xiangxi, hungry and cold, and we have just experienced the vicious battle of biochemical monsters left behind by the Japanese army, which has made both of us nervous and mentally tense to the point of collapse.

Fortunately, the supplies and cans found in the warehouse saved Suchak's and my lives, and we were dressed in dark green uniforms left behind by the Japanese army in front of the eerie sarcophagus in the center of the warehouse.

If anyone else saw this scene, they would definitely think that we were Japanese devils who were hated by the people.

After all, there are injuries all over the body, and even the appearance of walking is a little limp, plus the military uniform on the body.

If Suchak and I could speak some Japanese again, it would be almost the same as the image of a little devil.

Suzak saw me as very stubborn, and finally had to join my side.

I knew he had another plan in mind besides wanting to get out of here as soon as possible.

That is to covet the artifact in the coffin, and after collecting the money, he can hire someone to search the mountain together to find clues about his daughter.

After a crack opened in the coffin, Suzak and I saw that nothing strange or dangerous was happening, and we began to push the lid harder.

There was a creaking sound from the heavy sarcophagus, and Suchak raised his flashlight and looked through the gap, his expression instantly a little strange.

Seeing this, I hurried over, and at this time the lid of the sarcophagus had been pushed open halfway by the two of us, and the other half was hanging in the air.

With a slight exertion, the lid of the coffin will fall completely to the ground.

It turned out that the inside of the sarcophagus was engraved with words like ghost paintings, and after careful investigation, I felt that this was more like the runes of Taoism to suppress evil spirits.

And the mysterious thing that refracted the flashlight in the coffin just now was actually an angular gossip mirror, but the mirror was already full of cracks.

The mirror is embedded in a stone groove inside the sarcophagus lid, corresponding to the other heavy coffin in the coffin.

I saw many confetti-like things in the coffin inside, and I couldn't help but guess after careful investigation and identification.

It seems that this coffin should have been covered with rune paper before, because the long-term exposure to the dark environment caused all the rune paper that was not resistant to moisture to corrode away.

I don't know what is in the coffin, it needs to be wrapped in such layers, which is very mysterious.

At this moment, not only me, but even Suchak gradually fell into a great curiosity about the coffin in front of him.

I don't have much to do with Taoism, except that modern Taoism is a religion that is easily overlooked, and Taoist temples are usually built deep in the mountains.

On the contrary, it is not as good as those Buddhist temples that widely accept incense from believers and are famous both inside and outside.

At this moment, he couldn't help but think back to the mysterious diary that was placed close to his chest, and there were many contents in it that had not been deciphered by himself, and maybe there were clues about the origin and clues of this sarcophagus.

I couldn't help but open the dusty diary, and the more I got to the second half, the more scribbled the Japanese characters on it became.

It's as if the owner of this diary is getting more and more hurried to write it to the end.

I didn't expect to translate the above Japanese according to what I saw before, and the content was actually recorded about the follow-up of the infected person in the labor.

And the sarcophagus in front of me was indeed excavated from a tomb.

At the same time, many strangely shaped bronze figures have been unearthed from the tomb, and the interior of the tomb looks very old, like a closed cave from ancient times.

The sarcophagus soon attracted the attention of the internal Japanese officers in the tunnel.

They tried to open the sarcophagus, but were stopped by an old man from a labor camp.

When I translated this, I couldn't help but wonder if this sarcophagus was really strange, and the old man recorded in the diary was a hermit.

Unexpectedly, when it was turned over, a page of the entire diary was torn off, as if it had been deliberately torn off decades ago.

The few remaining pieces of content are basically drawings on paper, and the owner of the diary not only drew the sarcophagus in front of him on the paper, but also wrote down many symbols representing Taoism.

I couldn't help but hold my breath and turn the last page of the journal little by little, thinking that there would be some extremely terrifying discovery.

I didn't expect that there was just an extremely strange pattern drawn on the paper.

The scribbled notes depict an eerie gate, outlined in lines that seem to indicate that there are many patterns and symbols on the door.

Immediately below the door is a pattern of a square bridge, but I don't know what the meaning of these two patterns is.

Since they were drawn on the last page of the diary, these two scribbled drawings must have been extremely important.

I couldn't help but rub my head, so far I had read all the contents of the diary, but I was left with a lot of doubts in my heart.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from the coffin in the sarcophagus.

"Smack... Smack. ”

I couldn't even believe it, because the sound in the coffin sounded like a child was throwing glass balls on the floor.

The two of us were in a strange Japanese mine at this time, and the strange noise coming from the coffin reminded me of other scenes.

Cold sweat flowed from Suchak's forehead instantly, and he was obviously aware of the strange sound coming from the coffin.

I began to hesitate again whether to open the coffin, in case there was something unpredictable and ominous inside, neither Suchak nor I could handle it.

But if the coffin is not opened, extremely important clues may be missing.

In this way, his trip to Xiangxi has no meaning.

I pondered left and right, and finally decided to carefully lift the wooden coffin out of the sarcophagus, and if I noticed something wrong, the two of them would stop immediately.

Rebury the coffin in its original condition and return it to the sarcophagus.

Unexpectedly, when the two of them carried the coffin out of the sarcophagus with great difficulty, a pungent and unpleasant smell instantly burst out through the wooden coffin.

At the same time, a stream of black water flowed down the gap in the wooden coffin and in my palm, so that my hand slipped for a moment, and the end of the coffin I was carrying was out of my palm.

Seeing this, Su Sak also hurriedly subconsciously let go, for fear that these black unknown liquids would contain highly poisonous.

This weird wooden coffin fell heavily on the ground like this, and directly scattered the shelves, which shocked me to burst into a cold sweat!

Even Suchak was ready to escape, but he didn't expect anything strange to happen in the broken coffin.

Inside the coffin was only a mysterious skeleton that was wet and black and shiny, as if it had just been salvaged from the swamp.

The black water that flowed in his hands earlier also flowed from the corpse.

Neither Suchak nor I could have imagined that there would be such a scene in the coffin.

Could it be that this sarcophagus has really suppressed some demons and turned them into pus after a long time?

I couldn't help but start to speculate, but I still couldn't believe that the coffin contained a similar answer to the youkai.

The extremely pungent smell was mixed with an indescribable strange smell, and Suchak was very bold to pick open the coffin covered by the corpse with a bayonet.

Unexpectedly, he actually found the treasure from the rancid corpse coffin, which was a pale yellow jade plaque.

And it is engraved with the mysterious small seal text of the Warring States Period, which reads "Lao Tzu sent a letter to Guguan in the west, and the purple gas swept 30,000 miles." ”
