Liu Dongxi was also lying on the edge of the coffin and stretched out his head to look in, and when he heard me say this, he said: "This can't be, not to mention whether there is a dragon king, even if there is, it can't be buried so simply, what kind of mess do you see here?" ”

"There's such a coffin, you can put anything in it!" I snorted.

"It seems that there is really a merman or something in it, but the merman has only been a plaything since ancient times, not to mention how noble, such a burial method is really a bit excessive!" Gege said next to him.

"Have you ever seen a merman?" Liu Dongxi asked.

"I haven't seen it alive, but this kind of thing is not uncommon, in ancient times, it was mostly raised at home to have fun, especially in the Sui Dynasty, it was very prosperous, but it was only limited to the powerful, and there are few folk legends!" Gege said calmly, "I have found the remains of mermaids in the ruins of the Sui Dynasty more than once, especially in the tomb of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, and there are nine eternal lanterns made of mermaids, and I still carried Mars when I found them!" ”

"Yang Guang!" Liu Dongxi's gaze suddenly became hot, "What's inside?" ”

"That Qing Dynasty has been stolen, leaving only some bronzes, porcelain and terracotta figurines, if they hadn't brought in the air, the ever-bright lantern would not have rekindled!"

"Rekindled?" I didn't understand this, so I asked casually.

Wang Shanqi didn't interject for a long time, he was already anxious, and hurriedly replied: "The statement of this everlasting lamp is originally a lie, combustion is originally a process of material transformation, and nothing can never be reduced." The so-called ever-bright lamp of the ancients is actually a special grease, and the ignition point will be even lower than the normal temperature. When the chamber is closed, it goes out when the oxygen is depleted, but when the chamber is opened and refilled with oxygen, it burns again. Of course, the dead can't see it, but in the eyes of the living, this lamp has naturally burned from ancient times to the present! ”

I see, I think what he said is very reasonable, but I immediately remembered the legend of the merman making the lantern, "Then this merman ......"

"This ......" Wang Shanqi seemed to be stuck, and Gege continued: "The fat in the body of a creature like a merman is already very rich, and the ignition point is extremely low, so it can only live in water, and if it stays on land for too long, it will spontaneously combust and burn into a pile of foam!" ”

"I see!" I was amazed, there was such a mystery in this, and I turned my head to Xiao Kan and said, "Do you see it?" That's what the daughter of the sea is all about! ”

"What nonsense!" Xiao Kan said that he didn't want to pay attention to me, and he still looked at the coffin a little afraid.

"So what's going on? It's obviously a clean bone here, is it the material left over from the ever-bright lamp? ”

Liu Dongxi said: "I think it should be like this, it should not be this shark who is buried here, but this scum!" ”

It was so amazing that we didn't speak, we listened to him.

"We all think that there must be someone in the tomb, and even if there is no one, it must be a mermaid who has a relationship with people, but this place is different from ordinary tombs, if you look at it from another angle, it may be much easier to understand these as offerings!" Liu Dongxi said eloquently, "I think that every dynasty here has enshrined the most precious here, so in this way, that Horcrux, the Mother Tridacnus, and this Treasure are all rare things!" ”

"What's going on with the merman in there?"

"This is also easy to explain, this kind of thing is born to travel all over the world, and death is to sink into the abyss, it is impossible to fall into the hands of humans, the only explanation is that he ate this merman!"

"We all think that these dragon-related beasts are cold-blooded animals, but in fact, this is all misled by their appearance, in fact, these things are the same as us, they are all homeothermic animals!" It's rare for me to see Liu Shifu so organized, so I couldn't help but cheer and say, "Then if you eat this merman, won't it burn?" ”

Liu Dongxi nodded and said, "Not bad!" The merman burned in the abdomen and caused fatal damage to the scorpion, but after all, the oxygen in the scarlet was limited, and the merman was able to survive intact. But he died suddenly, and did not return to the abyss of the ocean in advance like the others, so he was picked up by humans and enshrined here! ”

This reasoning is so wonderful that I almost applauded, "Liu thing, what are you looking for these things for?" ”

Liu Dongxi's expression became embarrassed, with a look that I don't know but I'm embarrassed to let you know that I don't know either. At this time, Lu Yan suddenly said: "Go down and know!" ”

Well, I'll find out when I go down, I didn't ask any more questions, and walked towards the ear chamber. There is no difference between the ear chamber here and the one above, except that the murals on the wall are slightly different, and there is no picture of boating on the lake, but as Liu Dongxi said, it depicts a group of people capturing this stump on the beach.

Liu Shishi also walked over and said proudly: "Look, what I said is good!" ”

I ignored him and continued to look at the mural, trying to find some differences, but I was surprised to find that in one corner of the picture, there was a shadow of a mountain floating on the sea, and in this shadow, there was a clump of lotus flowers!

What's going on? I was busy pointing out to Liu Shi, how could a lotus flower be born on the sea? Could it be that the things here are not offerings sent by people on their own initiative, but instructions from the owner of this place?

Liu Shixi agreed with my opinion, but as if he had something on his mind, he lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, I was stunned for a moment, followed his gaze, and at the base of the wall, which was only two or three steps behind my feet, there was a small shadow standing quietly, and when I found that we had all seen it, I immediately panicked, jumped high all of a sudden, turned my head and hit the wall with a bang. The head of this thing is really strong enough, and such a strong impact has no effect, and it quickly jumps up and burrows into the small hole in the corner.

I chased it with a flashlight, and there was a small doorway in the corner of the wall without exception, which seemed to be through up and down, and the little beast called Xi had long since disappeared!

Liu Dongxi smiled: "It's running quite fast, this thing is not dangerous, it's just that the curiosity is a little strong, let him go!" ”

I felt that something was wrong, and although there was no danger, it was always a very intoxicating thing to have such a little thing peeping at my every move in the dark. But since I've already run away, it's useless to think about it, I can only worry about it, and there are not a few things that turn mice into demons, and I won't make this mistake.

At this time, there were only the two of us in the ear room, I looked at the door and asked Liu Shixi, "What are you here for?" ”

Liu Dongxi said: "I really don't know, just follow Lu Yan, he must have some purpose, but you know, what words can I take out of his mouth?" ”

"Really!"

"Brother An, how can you suspect me, I knew that I had to collect the things in these tombs, and he picked them, I didn't even know what they were...... Liu Dongxi said aggrievedly.

I was about to say something, but I suddenly looked behind Liu Dongxi, and Wang Dake's words suddenly came to mind, but the words that came to my mouth were completely unspeakable.

Liu Dongxi's aftermath was illuminated by my headlamp, but the place that should have been a shadow in the middle of the spot was empty!
