Chapter 339: Stone Pillar

The whole sarcophagus is unpretentious, and it sits in the middle of the empty warehouse, which exudes a bit of weirdness.

If it is said that this is in the tomb of Xiangxi, it will not be strange to see this coffin, but at this time Suchak and I are in the mine tunnel left by the Japanese army in Xiangxi.

And this coffin appeared in the warehouse, obviously looking a little nondescript.

I can't help but guess that there are many ancient tombs in Xiangxi, and it is very likely that the group of little devils inadvertently bumped into the tomb when they were digging the mountain range, and then excavated this sarcophagus.

This would also explain why Suchuk and I found scattered artifacts in the black minecart in the first place.

Maybe there are a few tombs interspersed in the tunnels dug out, and those little devils will definitely not be soft when they see so many antiques and rely on their large number of people.

Thinking of this, I can't help but be interested in the sarcophagus in front of me, and there have been countless princely generals buried in the mountains of Xiangxi since ancient times.

But their tombs were all extremely luxurious, and the sarcophagus in front of me was so simple and ordinary that I could only notice a crack in the lid of the coffin.

Otherwise, it's easy to mistake it for a large ordinary stone.

Thinking of this, there is not only some speculation, why this coffin appeared in the warehouse of the Japanese army, plus the corpses of the Japanese army scattered around.

It doesn't seem like the cause of their death was a riot by the labour-infected people decades ago.

Could it be that there is something special about this sarcophagus that needs to be heavily guarded?

I couldn't help but pat the sarcophagus with my hand, and the cold touch instantly spread to my whole body along the palm of my hand, making me shiver.

What I didn't expect was that there was a strange sound in the warehouse next.

It was like the sound of the gears of a machine, which frightened me into raising my guard for a moment and looking at the surrounding scenery vigilantly.

In the darkness, something seemed to rise slowly from the ground in the corner of the warehouse.

Suchak was also frightened by the scene in front of him, and he hurriedly turned on his flashlight to look, but he didn't expect a large square black rock to rise in the corner of the warehouse.

Not only that, the sound of the mechanism rubbing against the ground was incessant, and four square black rock pillars rose one after another in the originally quiet warehouse.

Each mysterious stone pillar represented a direction, enclosing me and Suchak and the sarcophagus in the center of the warehouse, as if they were suppressing something.

The strange sound gradually subsided, and I gradually relieved myself when I saw that there seemed to be no danger around me, and the stone pillar came out of the ground and stopped in place.

I hurried my steps, following the light of Suczak's flashlight.

Only then did it be discovered that these four square stone pillars seemed to be just ordinary stones, and there were no patterns similar to suppressing demons on them, nor did they have any strange words.

I instantly overturned the idea I had just guessed and fell into deeper doubts.

"What does that mean?"

"Back then, this group of little devils put a sarcophagus without words in the warehouse and guarded it with heavy soldiers, and they also used unknown rocks to suppress the four directions."

"Could it be..., what's in the coffin?"

I rubbed my head hard, but I didn't expect to subconsciously find that the mechanical watch and compass on my wrist had happened like a ghost.

All the hands were spinning wildly without any external assistance, and for a moment I thought that these four black stone pillars should be magnets dug out of the mountains.

The location of the rocks caused a disturbance in the magnetic field in the mountain forest, which also confirmed that the diary recorded that the equipment had failed during the excavation process, and the compass was biased.

"No wonder the compass on our watch points in the opposite direction when we come, so we think we're escaping the tunnel."

"Actually, it's getting deeper and deeper here."

For a while, I even had the intention of destroying these four magnets, because of the interference of the magnetic field, many strange things must happen here.

The most important thing is that if the compass fails completely, Susak and I will most likely be completely lost in this old Japanese tunnel.

I couldn't help but look down at the abnormal mechanical watch again, but when I turned around, Suchak next to me suddenly disappeared.

My heart pounded, and when I looked up again, I saw that he was standing on the sarcophagus in the center, as if watching something.

I had a premonition that something was wrong, and I hurriedly told him to jump down and stay away from the coffin in the middle.

Unexpectedly, he stood on a high place, seemed to have discovered something terrible, and kept waving at me.

Seeing him standing on the sarcophagus, he didn't seem to be in any danger, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace and ran in his direction, driven by strong curiosity.

Unexpectedly, when he was also in the position he was standing in just now, the layout of the entire warehouse appeared under his feet.

Due to the dim environment in the warehouse, we didn't even notice that the ground was carved with strange symbols, plus the stone pillars suppressed in the four directions.

I actually remembered the Taoist formation coldly.

There must have been a Taoist master in the tunnel a few decades ago who was arrayed in the warehouse, and as for what his purpose was, was there any unknown danger in the sarcophagus.

Obviously, all this can only be known after the sarcophagus is opened.

I don't know if my guess is correct, but looking at the arrangement of items in the warehouse in front of me, I always feel an indescribable strangeness.

I couldn't help but hesitate in my heart, whether to pry open this sarcophagus or not, but in case of any danger, with the two of us at present, no one can deal with it.

I can't help but think back to the weird and strange things I encountered in the tomb of Concubine Jin, if I want to crack the curse on my body and the secrets in the black and white photos.

It is necessary to find out the ins and outs of the strange things that happened decades ago.

The stinging sensation of the sores on my body constantly reminded me that if I missed a detail in the slightest negligence, I could end up in a place from which I would never recover.

As soon as I gritted my teeth, I picked up the rusty bayonet in my hand and plunged it into the gap in the sarcophagus.

This rusty thorn alone obviously couldn't pry open the heavy sarcophagus, and I did it just to let air in the coffin.

If something weird happens, I'd better stop it in time.

Suchak's mind was always thinking about how to escape and find the traces of his missing daughter.

He couldn't help but start to feel a little impatient when he saw me spinning around the sarcophagus in front of him, although the two of us were still in harmony, we had also experienced life and death.

But the ultimate goal is different.

With a creaking sound, the lid of the sarcophagus was forced open by me.

Puffs of dust poured out through the cracks, and I frowned and had to turn around to avoid the sarcophagus for a while.

Looking through the gap in the dim light of the flashlight, something seemed to refract the light, flickering in the sarcophagus.

As far as the technical work of opening the coffin is concerned, he is only a half-ass, if the fat man is here at this moment, he will definitely know many taboos about opening the coffin.

For example, to light a candle in the corner, etc.
