Chapter 57: The Ancient Jade Hanging Coffin
Just when we wanted to separate and look for the exit, the seventh master walked towards the blue lacquer bed.
"Seventh Master, let's find a fucking outlet, don't worry about that bed, no matter how valuable it is, we can't take it out." Huzi shouted anxiously.
I saw that the seventh master took out a large white cloth from his backpack, first bowed three times to the bones on the blue lacquer bed, and then wrapped the three bones on the bed and put them in the backpack.
When Huzi saw the Seventh Master's actions, he was about to explode in anger, and said, "I said Seventh Master, you come down and fight, don't take the spirit weapon, and steal the bones?" Look at the liquid all over the ground, and I guess the roots of the vampire tree are about to spread here, and you are still interested in the bones? Didn't you fall in love with that little girl? ”
The seventh master glared at Huzi and said, "The dead are big, don't talk nonsense, it is definitely not accidental that we can see that kind of phenomenon just now, the ancients are in the ground, and it is not good for these three bones to be placed on the big bed, find a coffin and put them in it for a while, ask for peace of mind, you don't want this woman to pester you for the rest of your life, right?" ”
As soon as Huzi heard that he was going to be haunted by this female ghost for the rest of his life, he immediately coaxed, shrunk his neck, and said, "You are an old Jianghu, all... It's all up to you. ”
Seeing that there was more and more liquid on the ground, already exceeding our knees, none of us dared to delay, who knew if a few vampire tree roots would emerge in the next second to entangle us.
The liquid was very viscous, and after it reached our knees, we had a hard time walking, as if we were tied to our legs with more than a dozen pounds of iron chains.
At this moment, Huzi seemed to think of something, and hurriedly raised his flashlight to shine on the south side of the tomb, and then said to me with a frightened face, "Lao Bai, go, hurry!" ”
When I saw his expression, I knew that something terrible must have rushed towards me, and I didn't dare to turn around and run in the direction of Huzi with my legs open, but this liquid was too much, and the resistance on my legs was too great, so I used my strength to feed, and I only moved forward two or three meters.
Then I felt that the clothes on my legs were being pulled by something, and when I looked down, I found that it was the seeds of the vampire tree, the liquid had overflowed the clay pot, and the seeds of these vampire trees swam out of it like fish, and now they are desperately tearing my pants, probably like gnawing on my flesh as fertilizer to take root and sprout.
Fortunately, the training uniforms I wore were made of sturdy material, and they wouldn't tear for a while, so as long as I raised my hands high and didn't let my exposed parts of my skin come into contact with the seeds, I should be able to hold out for a while.
"Hurry up and find an outlet, or once this liquid overflows our necks, we'll all have to become fertilizer for vampire trees." I raised my hands high and urged the seventh master.
The seventh master pointed to the beam on the top of the tomb and said, "Go to the top first!" As soon as the words fell, I saw him and Wang Chuyi take out the grappling hook lasso at the same time, and after throwing it twice, it was put on the beam.
The two of them were about to pull the climbing rope to climb up, but at this moment, the beam was pulled by them like this, and it was translated down a distance of nearly one meter, and then a wall on the west side of the tomb slowly descended, I was happy in my heart, and my heart said that it was really a mountain and a heavy water, and there was no way out, and the willows and flowers were bright and a village, who the hell would have thought that the mechanism of this tomb was actually on the beam, if it weren't for the liquid from the vampire tree, I'm afraid we couldn't find the location of the organ in our lifetime, and this time I really have to thank this vampire tree.
I hurriedly walked towards the tomb wall that had descended, and before the joy in my heart passed, I saw that the tomb wall had fallen less than one meter, so I stopped, and secretly screamed in my heart, and hurriedly looked at the seventh master and Wang Chuyi.
The two of them immediately understood, and they both pulled the * mountain rope hard, but the beam no longer moved, it should have been pulled to the limit.
At this time, the Seventh Master and Wang Chuyi put away the climbing rope and walked over, and said to me, "The beam can't be pulled anymore, there must be something stuck in the mechanism of the tomb wall below!" There's no time to look at it now, so let's crawl over it first! ”
As he spoke, he climbed up the tomb wall with a lasso grappling hook, and leaned sideways very quickly through the crack in the tomb wall.
Then Huzi and I also flipped over with the help of Wang Chuyi.
After passing through the tomb wall, I found that it was a waist-thick tree root stuck under the tomb wall, which made the tomb wall unable to come down.
I saw that the roots of the tree were still wriggling, probably trying to come out from under the tomb wall, but no matter how it moved, the heavy tomb wall just pressed it underneath, and could not move an inch.
I was relieved, turned around, and began to look at the burial chamber we were.
To be precise, we are now in the underground palace of the ancient tomb, this underground palace is round, and the walls around it are not polished and smooth like the tombs we have seen before, but uneven and staggered.
In order to save electricity, I took out a torch and lit it, and illuminated the walls of the dungeon by the light of the fire, and found that the bricks on the wall were arranged very regularly, the raised wall tiles were all diagonally upward in one direction, and the recessed tiles were rotated downward, and the whole underground palace structure was like a big drill.
And in the middle of the dungeon is a huge jade disc, and directly above the disc is a coffin like amber!
"Holy shit, how is that possible? Dangling? It's so fucking inconsistent with the laws of physics. I wondered, so I walked towards the coffin with a torch, and then went back and forth twice on the round jade plate, and found that there was really nothing supporting the coffin, and my heart was even more curious. So he stood directly below the coffin and looked up.
I found that the bottom of the coffin was densely engraved with many words, most of these words I don't know, but I can still read the approximate meaning from the few words I know, which probably means that the coffin is buried in a general who is a general of Zhengxi, and when he died, the official position was the forward captain, and then I can't understand the words after that, guessing that it should be to describe the merits of his life.
After the Seventh Master inspected the entire underground palace, he also came to the side of the jade disc and said, "I haven't seen this ancient jade hanging coffin for a long time, there must be something good in it, Lao Bai, you quickly withdraw it, be careful if you touch any mechanism, the coffin will fall down and kill you." ”
I hurriedly got down from the jade disc, and when I walked to the side of the seventh master, I looked up, and then I found the secret of the hanging coffin, it turned out that there was a gluttonous beast head on the four corners of the coffin, and there was a ring in the mouth, and there was a very thick iron chain connected to the tomb wall in the ring.
The four iron chains hung up the ancient jade coffin, but the underground palace was dim, and the iron chains were dark, and it was difficult to find if you didn't look carefully.
