Chapter 103: The Cave Sarcophagus
"Where the fuck did all these snakes come from? Still fucking so much? Huzi walked forward cautiously on tiptoe, muttering incessantly.
Now in this situation, I didn't have the heart to pay attention to him at all, and after a while, I was annoyed by his muttering, and scolded, "Can you fucking shut up, a big man, how can you learn to break the girl's mouth!" ”
Huzi was scolded by me, obediently closed his mouth, raised the flashlight and walked forward, the black snake under his feet became more and more dense, walked more than ten meters, and there were still black snakes all around, but the size of the black snake was not as big as at the beginning, they were all small snakes, and the longer ones were only a dozen centimeters.
By this time our torches were almost dry, so I lit them twice with a windproof lighter, and although it was still a little damp, I still lit it after a while with the lighter.
The four of us put away the flashlights and raised the torches, and the black snake on the ground immediately retreated a lot, and it seemed that the snake was still very afraid of open flames.
Huzi saw that the snake was afraid of fire, so he hurriedly swept around the ground with a torch, and the snake spread out at once, and he didn't know where it went, and a large area of black snakes disappeared.
Then Huzi said, "Damn, where did this snake go?" ”
I squatted down, picked up a small branch, turned over the thick layer of fallen leaves on the ground, and found that the black snake was not hiding in the leaves, and then I touched the ground with my hand, thinking that this black snake would not disappear on its own out of thin air, and there would definitely be a small hole in the ground that could allow them to get in.
But I touched it for a long time, and I didn't find anything suspicious, so I was very puzzled.
At this time, Huzi came over and said, "Don't fucking touch it, take advantage of this snake formation to retreat, let's hurry up, don't let them pop up again in a while." ”
I listened to what Huzi said made sense, and I didn't dare to delay, so I hurried to hurry, we were already very tired, thinking that we could find a place to rest, but now in this situation, no one dares to sleep, for fear of encountering any danger after sleeping.
The four of us dragged our tired bodies on, and we didn't know how long we walked, but we saw a raised boulder in front of us, this boulder was very large, I looked up, I couldn't see the end, and now the night was thick, and I didn't know how high the boulder was.
Huzi took out his flashlight and shone it upwards, and suddenly shouted, "Look, what is that!" ”
I looked up by the light of the flashlight, and found that at the position of the boulder about ten meters from the ground, a very deep stone cave appeared there, I asked Huzi to use a flashlight to shine on both sides, and found that there are many such stone caves on both sides, standing in my position and looking up, I found that some of these stone caves have very smooth edges, and some of the stone caves have very rough edges, and they are covered with moss.
The Seventh Master touched the boulder, sighed, and said, "In this kind of dense forest, there shouldn't be a boulder like this exposed on the surface, could it be that it was transported by man?" ”
I see that this boulder is hundreds of meters wide, according to the traces of wind erosion on the surface of the stone, this boulder must be placed here for hundreds of years, not to mention the ancients hundreds of years ago, even if it is the current level of science and technology, it is almost impossible to transport such a large boulder up the mountain, but this boulder appears here out of thin air, it looks quite weird, it is incredible.
Huzi took a few steps back, turned on the flashlight and shone diagonally upward. "Hey, I said brother, how can I look at something in that cave? It's boxy, and it looks like a coffin. ”
As soon as I heard Huzi say that there was a coffin, we instantly came to the spirit, I retreated to Huzi's position and looked up, and sure enough, I found that about half a meter or so in this stone cave, a square sarcophagus exposed a corner.
Zhang Wuxing came to my side, and after taking a look, he also said with a surprised face, "Could it be that this is the tomb group of the Gelao clan?" ”
Speaking of this Gelao tribe, I did some homework before I came, and most of them practiced cave burial and sarcophagus burial.
It is to use the cave on the rock wall, and then put the coffin into it, which is divided into two types: natural cave and artificial excavation.
The sarcophagus used by the Gelao people is generally made of a whole stone slab, the weight of the whole coffin is enough to weigh thousands of catties, what method did the Gelao people use in ancient times to put the heavy coffin in such a high rock cave, now there is no way to know, only know that since the Qing Dynasty, the Gelao people began to implement burial due to the influence of economic and cultural exchanges between various ethnic groups.
Looking at the dozen rows of densely packed cave coffins on the boulder, I admired the wisdom of the ancients while secretly looking at it, wondering if I could build a bonfire in this cave and take a rest.
So he beckoned the tiger to climb up together, at this time the tiger seemed very energetic, the grappling hook in his hand was chiseled on the stone wall one by one, and the speed of climbing was much faster than mine, coupled with his height of one meter nine, he quickly drilled into the stone cave, and then reflexively stretched out his hand to me and pulled me up.
"Damn, why is this so small?" After Huzi pulled me up, he cursed.
I looked up and found that the height of the stone cave here was less than one and a half meters, and the depth was a little more than two meters, and a sarcophagus placed in it almost took up all the space, and I was now standing at the very edge of the stone cave, with my whole body bent and leaning forward, almost lying on this sarcophagus, and Huzi was even more embarrassed, he could only face inward, kneeling at the entrance of the stone cave, and both feet were exposed outside the stone cave.
When Huzi saw me lying on the sarcophagus, he hurriedly asked, "Lao Bai, what's wrong?" Is there anything good about it? ”
I just reacted, and I dared to climb up with the vigor of Huzi just now, and I was thinking about opening the coffin and touching the gold, so I scolded, "Damn, the lid of this sarcophagus must be hundreds of catties, and in such a small space, it can't be opened at all." ”
Huzi smiled and said, "Let's push this sarcophagus down, can't we just open it below?" We can also empty this stone cave, and we can rest for a while. ”
For Huzi, I really don't have any temper at all, he is like this, he is usually very righteous, but at first glance it is a baby, that is, the king of heaven and Lao Tzu can't pull him, a typical guy with fat courage and thin brain.
I had the heart to fix him, so I said, "Then you can try it?" Can this sarcophagus be pushed? ”
Huzi nodded hurriedly, it took a lot of effort to drill into the innermost part of the stone cave, and pushed the sarcophagus with both hands, and the sarcophagus still did not move at all after pushing for a long time, and Huzi's tired whole body lay on the sarcophagus, "Oh, no, it's so damn heavy, I don't know how to get it." ”
When I saw that Huzi was deflated, I patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "This is just an ordinary coffin, there won't be any treasures in it, so don't bother." ”
When Huzi heard this, he glared and said, "Damn, if you didn't say it earlier, it would make me work so hard." ”
At this moment, I suddenly heard a whistling sound from under the boulder, and my heart tightened, and I hurriedly looked down.
