Chapter 376: The Coffin
My heart trembled suddenly, if Qinglong, who had an upright personality, found the diary of Wu Laogou that I left behind in his house, I don't know how he would feel.
He has always been jealous and hateful, and his identity as a tomb robber has never been mentioned to him, relying on the heavy comradeship of decades ago.
He seems to be the only person I can consider a brother other than the fat man at the moment.
In the midst of the confusion, he was pulled back by the clues found in front of him, looking at the crooked "Wu" character on the ground, no matter how he looked at it, it felt like his godfather left behind.
But why did Wu Laogou do this, did he really come to this unknown weird bronze gate?
My mind was so chaotic that I even forgot about the situation in front of me a little, remembering what he had said in his diary.
When he was young, in order to save Sanniang, he looked for the legendary Yangzhu that could bring people back to life, and he did not hesitate to cooperate with the Japanese.
That is, he was a traitor and lackey.
Although this is a stain on his life, it seems to be for this mysterious woman.
I looked at the stone statue in front of me and gradually stopped thinking about Wu Laogou's past, this strange stone statue stood here like this, and I don't know how long it has been.
The sense of mystery that arose in his mind about this place became stronger and stronger, if Wu Laogou really came here back then, then he must have discovered something.
will leave their name as a mark.
At the thought of this, I couldn't help but crouch down and take a closer look at the bottom of the statue to see if there was a hidden mechanism-like structure at the bottom of the statue.
Unexpectedly, when I leaned down, instead of finding any mechanism, I felt that I was looking up at the stone statue from this angle.
There was an indescribable sense of awe.
The strange statue in front of me seemed to bring my mind into an unprecedented situation for a moment.
In ancient times, the only creature that could appear in the body of a human head and a snake was the mythical figure Nuwa left behind by the records of the ancestors.
Legend has it that she is such a god with a human upper body and a snake-like lower body, and her appearance in this image is not only not terrifying, but exudes awe in the dark.
Because she made people out of earth, she was regarded by the ancients as a god who created human beings, and like the Jade Emperor in the mythological world, she was a supreme revered existence.
I couldn't help but shudder, could it be that this statue is the stone statue of Nuwa carved by the ancients.
This seems to be very likely, because it is not uncommon for the image of Nuwa to appear in ancient buildings, but looking at the bare face in front of me and the human face without eyes, I was stunned and sweated profusely.
"If it is really a stone statue of Nuwa, how can it be that it has no eyes, this is simply too weird."
I looked closely at the stone statue and shook my head, thinking to myself that the ancients were so reverent of the gods that they would never commit such a blasphemy.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a strange knocking sound from the stone bricks under his feet, because he was leaning over and sitting on the ground.
The sound of the ground was so clear to my ears that I took a few steps backwards before I even had time to think.
But what I didn't expect was that when I had a premonition that something was not right, I laboriously picked open a green brick under the stone statue with my hands.
In the dim light, there was a huge bronze iron plate hidden inside, which was also covered with all kinds of patterns.
After opening the iron plate, a strange yin wind blew along the gap, and the black paint inside was even worse than the light outside, and it seemed that the strange sound just now should just be the movement caused by the wind hitting the iron plate.
Look at this tunnel that leads straight up and down from nowhere.
With trepidation, I finally endured the darkness around me and went into the tunnel little by little.
Unexpectedly, after just entering, the body fell uncontrollably and wildly.
It was blurred in the dim light, and in the darkness I desperately pressed my hands and feet against the wall, only to find that it seemed to be covered with a thick layer of moss.
The damp and dark environment permeates the surrounding environment, which seems to be in line with the climate of the Xiangxi Mountains at this time, even in this strange kilometer deep underground, it still has not changed.
When my feet hit the ground, the light in front of me suddenly became much more comfortable, and although it was not bright, the visibility here still gave people a very solid feeling compared to the absolute darkness before.
Looking up, there was a dead silence all around. The environment is very cramped, and there are traces of artificial excavation everywhere.
In this area of almost a few tens of square meters, even more strange statues stand in front of you.
It is a carved python that has even evolved a humanoid arm that appears underneath the snake's belly.
Equally strange is that the serpent's head also has no eyes, and its body is covered with carefully carved scale armor.
When I was here, I almost forgot that the place above my head was the secret underground base of the Japanese army that had escaped death not long ago, but the atmosphere at the moment was completely different from the tunnel left by the little devils before.
The carving of such a strange stone statue in the narrow space made me wonder more and more about what this place was.
and where did Suchak, who mysteriously disappeared before, go.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, I suddenly noticed a series of marks on the ground, as if some reptile had traveled on the ground.
I cautiously followed the trail, and before I knew it, I had passed through a large gap in the narrow stone wall.
The road under my feet became narrower and narrower, and my vision gradually blurred, and I don't know why I always felt that the air around me was much hotter than before.
I don't know if it's due to physical and psychological reasons, or if the temperature is really half a cut higher than other places, which makes me feel more and more weird.
The feeling became more and more real, and it made me sweat all over my body.
I don't know how far I walked along the cracked gap, but suddenly my eyes suddenly opened up, and a huge stone pillar stood in front of me.
It is surrounded by quaint patterns carved in stone, and it seems to be the most central underground palace in an ordinary ancient tomb, with a wide space of hundreds of square meters.
In front of you is a dark green hall paved with bluestone bricks.
I just don't know why, I know that this can't be an ancient tomb, but in my mind, I always associate it with the tomb I experienced before.
Unexpectedly, when I looked up, there seemed to be a huge coffin standing in the center of the front of me, which instantly disturbed my thoughts.
The details of the interior when I first broke into the bronze iron door were enough to conclude that this was definitely not an ancient tomb, and I couldn't tell what it was.
Unexpectedly, the coffin that suddenly appeared in front of me suddenly disrupted all my previous guesses and thoughts.
"Could it be that there were really any princes and nobles hidden here, but why haven't I seen any inscriptions and tomb-owners' epitaphs along the way?"
