The next moment, I saw a crimson long sword directly sink into the mouse's body, and blood sprayed Sun Xiao'an's face.

Even Wu Canbin, who was not far away, was splashed with blood.

The neighing of the rats pierced the ancient tomb, and the other rats saw this and rushed towards Shen Hanfang and them more and more frantically.

Sun Xiaoan hurriedly pulled out the long sword and retreated to Shen Hanfang's side, this crimson long sword, I don't know what power it has.

But it really seems to be a magic weapon that can restrain those rats.

The next moment, the mouse suddenly stopped screaming and fell to the ground.

With a muffled sound, it died on the spot, blood pouring out, and the little mice seemed to notice something abnormal.

Immediately gathered behind Sun Xiao'an, Shen Hanfang was protected by Sun Xiao'an, but at this moment, those rats wanted to kill them as if they were determined.

Of course, they still didn't dare to hurt Sun Xiao'an, their target was the sword in Sun Xiao'an's hand, as well as Shen Hanfang behind her.

After a while, suddenly, I saw several rats rushing towards Sun Xiao's long sword standing on the ground.

When its teeth touched the sword, its mouth had already been sliced off before it could exert its strength.

At this time, Shen Hanfang suddenly screamed, and Sun Xiaoan hurriedly picked up the long sword and hacked another mouse to death.

Within five minutes, around Sun Xiaoan and Shen Hanfang, more than a dozen mouse corpses appeared.

Immediately after that, those rats immediately looked at the sword in Sun Xiao'an's hand, stopped in the distance, and no longer acted rashly.

Gu Liusheng and Wu Canbin silently retreated to the side of the two, and the four of them gathered together again.

At this time, Wu Canbin couldn't help but say: "This sword is so sharp.

What a magic weapon! ”

Shen Hanfang said in a gloomy voice: "This sword is bloodthirsty.

It was because of the blood that it became so sharp just now.

I'm afraid this is not a peerless sword, otherwise it wouldn't be sealed here. ”

While the four of them were talking, they saw that the rats suddenly retreated like a tide, and the entire altar fell silent again.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Liusheng took out a strong flashlight and shone it towards the bottom of the sacrificial platform.

Below was a crystal clear river, and given the height of the altar, it was certainly impossible for them to walk down on foot.

If ropes are used, there is no place on this altar where ropes can be fastened.

Gu Liusheng's expression tightened, but Wu Canbin on the side suddenly said: "The steps here haven't completely collapsed, maybe we can go down here to the ground." ”

As he spoke, he also used cold fireworks to take a careful look at the bottom of the line, and when Gu Liusheng passed, he just caught up with him throwing cold fireworks.

The part of the staircase quickly became clear, but fortunately the staircase had not completely collapsed, but there were traces of blood left by the rats as they retreated.

Gu Liusheng pulled Sun Xiaoan down the steps slowly, with Wu Canbin and Shen Hanfang behind him.

They walked down the stairs very smoothly, and nothing happened in between.

When they came to the bank of the undercurrent river, they realized that the bottom of the water was also made of the monster with a bronze body and a snake's tail.

The entire bottom of the river is carved with that kind of white marble stone, and with the clear river water, it looks very weird.

At the upper reaches of the river there was a wooden bridge for single people to walk on, and they crossed the river along the wooden bridge.

Then you will see a large ground building that resembles a square.

The whole building is not luxurious, even a little shabby, and the most striking thing is the hanging coffin in the middle of the boundary.

The coffin they recognized was the coffin presented on the mural.

Walking along the riverbank, on either side are bronze figures standing or squatting or prostrating.

These bronze figures here are all normal bronze people, and they don't have the image of a human body and a snake tail.

Because of the previous lesson, this time they walked extra cautiously, and for this whole thing, Sun Xiaoan seemed to have realized his role in this.

Along the way, many things are closely related to her, everyone has never felt like she has appeared, she has appeared, and those old voices on the altar.

All this seems to be leading her here in the end, and the coffin not far in front of her at this moment is very likely to be her end.

Sun Xiaoan followed Gu Liusheng slowly all the way, until everyone came to the coffin, and no major situation happened.

Immediately afterwards, Sun Xiaoan saw the exquisite coffin in front of him clearly.

The entire coffin is carved out of the original body of wood with the image of nine lifelike snakes.

Shen Hanfang was stunned, and then said, "So...... The snake is actually the totem of this tribe?

They domesticated snakes, but they also revered snakes to the extreme? ”

Sun Xiao'an, who was on the side, suddenly realized something, and immediately asked, "Teacher Shen, is there a saying in the tomb customs called Nine Dragons carrying the coffin?" ”

Shen Hanfang nodded subconsciously, but the next moment she suddenly frowned.

Tsai carefully glanced at the coffin again, and then said after a long time, "What do you mean......

Is it possible that these snakes are the original image of dragons? ”

Sun Xiaoan nodded, then gently stroked the coffin with his hand and said, "You think, our Chinese nation is inherited with the dragon as a totem.

But are there really dragons? At least so far, no trace of dragons has been found in the world.

Look at the carving on it, and the image we see of the golden python, with horns, scales, tail, and of course no claws and no whiskers.

But aren't many things known after a long time of circulation and refinement? ”

After Sun Xiao'an finished speaking, Shen Hanfang immediately fell silent again, and I have to say that what Sun Xiao'an said is indeed reasonable.

In the history of the development of China, many things cannot be completely recognized as true, and there are many uncertainties for the entire Chinese civilization for thousands of years.

How the image of the dragon evolved, many times, there are also a lot of uncertainties.

Sun Xiao'an was stunned for a long time, and then said, "By the way, the old lady who was also sealed in the tomb...... Not here? ”

Gu Liusheng was stunned, yes, since they came in, they have put all their energy on the coffin right now.

didn't notice the situation around the coffin, Gu Liusheng looked around, and then looked at Sun Xiaoan.

There was nothing else to be seen in the entire large burial chamber, including bones.

At this time, Wu Canbin suddenly exclaimed: "Here." ”

They saw that he was crouching behind the coffin at this moment, and when they walked over, they saw a skeleton sitting cross-legged, and a string of bells beside him.

Just now, because they were standing directly in front of the coffin, they were blocked by the coffin, so that they didn't notice anything behind the coffin.

Sun Xiao'an was stunned for a long time, and then said: "But the white snake on the mural is also gone." ”

"I guess I'm dead! After all, so many years. ”

Wu Canbin muttered casually on the side.

The rest of the people didn't say anything, after all, the man was dead, and he had become a pile of bones.

Out of respect, there should be no more arguments.

At this time, I heard Wu Canbin suddenly say again: "Look at this bell, there seems to be something." ”

As he spoke, he picked up the somewhat distorted bronze bell.

Above his eyes and observed, when Sun Xiaoan and Shen Hanfang walked over, they happened to be able to look up and see the situation inside the bell.

I saw that the whole bell was pitch black, but there were still some flocculents similar to snakeskins hanging in some places on the outer rock.

Sun Xiaoan was about to reach out to touch the things inside, but Shen Hanfang immediately said, "I'll come." ”

As she spoke, she pulled out a pair of gloves from her backpack.

She recognized the gloves as the ones she had taught that day.

This glove is very meticulously crafted and has a variety of benefits.

I saw Shen Hanfang gently take the bell from Wu Canbin's hand, and then gently knocked on the outer wall of the bell with his other hand.

With just a slight touch, the bell made an extremely ethereal and pleasant sound.

Immediately afterwards, a large lump of flocculent fell out, and Shen Hanfang put her fingers into the inside of the bell and pulled out the contents with some effort.

It was a piece of rotten flesh, shaped like the tail of some kind of animal.

And the flocculent that fell out of the bell was really a snake molt after being tested by the instrument.

This is not a great discovery for Sun Xiaoan and the others, after all, they originally knew that there was a snake in this bell.

After a long time, I heard Shen Hanfang frowning and suddenly said, "It's not right!"

Where did the snake go?

How can there only be a tail left? ”

Sun Xiaoan and Gu Liusheng glanced at each other.

Then I only heard Gu Liusheng say leisurely: "Could it be that you ran away?" ”

Sun Xiaoan was stunned, and Shen Hanfang carefully put the bronze bell into the bag and carefully stuffed it into the backpack.

Then the crowd looked at the coffin again.

The whole coffin is very well sealed, and it should have never been opened since the day the coffin was sealed.

Gu Liusheng and Wu Canbin glanced at Shen Hanfang, after all, they didn't understand the doorway here.

If you can't open the coffin, you still have to let a professional identify it.

Shen Hanfangzai looked at the coffin carefully, and then leaned on the side of the coffin and listened for a moment.

Then he said solemnly: "This coffin is different from the one we encountered before.

After all, in this environment, it's always good to be careful.

After a while, you will listen to my instructions and do not make a mistake in opening the coffin. ”

Gu Liusheng and Wu Canbin nodded, and the next moment they saw Shen Hanfang take out the instrument and tap it a few times.

The device immediately showed "No signs of life." ".

It took about ten minutes for Gu Liusheng and Wu Canbin to successfully open the coffin under Shen Hanfang's instructions.

But when the coffin opened, everyone was shocked.

I saw that the woman lying in the coffin was still the same as when she was alive.

Her skin was still rosy, and she really looked like a sleeping princess, just waiting for her prince charming to wake her up.

This person's appearance is a little different from the mural, but it is a little better than the mural.

At this time, Sun Xiaoan closed his eyes with some doubts.

Hurriedly taking a few steps back, the woman made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

It's like taking a bite of an apple and the apple suddenly gets stuck in your throat.

She couldn't go up or down, and it also hindered her from speaking and breathing normally.

It's no wonder that Sun Xiao'an feels this way, after all, if she didn't know Zhou Jianhua and knew that Zhou Jianhua had been slightly repaired before, she really couldn't believe it.

This woman looks so similar to her.

She was stunned, which reminded her of the woman on the altar before.

If that woman is the same as her, then this woman is so similar to Zhou Jianhua.

How can all this be a coincidence?

She was stunned, she always felt that all this would soon have an answer, and she had an extremely strong feeling that she might be close to the truth at this moment.

The truth that hell wants her to know.

After a long time, I heard her suddenly say again: "Liusheng, we may be about to get an answer." ”

As soon as Sun Xiaoan finished speaking, he suddenly saw that the woman in the coffin was rapidly decomposing at a speed invisible to the naked eye, and finally became an unrecognizable dried corpse.

At the same time, Shen Hanfang actually saw the black ball in her mouth.

Sun Xiao'an had also seen that black ball, which was supposed to be hanging around the neck of this female leader.

The next moment, Shen Hanfang carefully took out the round ball, and then the round ball was wiped clean and placed on the stone platform on the side.

Shen Hanfang took out the instrument again and scanned it, but there was still no information on it.

Shen Hanfang carefully observed the ball again, and finally guessed that she thought that this thing was put in the mouth of the deceased.

There are only two possibilities, one is that this thing has an antiseptic effect, and the other is that this thing may have some other effect on the corpse.

Generally speaking, the possibility of embalming will be greater, otherwise the moment the coffin was opened just now.

The woman's appearance was really like a living person.

It can be preserved so well, and this bead must be inseparable.

Sun Xiaoan looked at Gu Liusheng, and at this time, he saw Shen Hanfang put the bead into the bag and put it away carefully.

Then he carefully took out something similar to a stone slab from the jade pillow.

Sun Xiaoan leaned over to take a look, and the thing was like an epitaph.

But I don't recognize a few of the words on it.

Shen Hanfang frowned and looked at it for a long time, and even she couldn't recognize those words.

This ancient tomb has so far been like an outer space existence, and even if you are in it, you can't even really explore it.

It is still a mystery to Sun Xiaoan and others who are in it.

Shen Hanfang tried to use the instrument to scan the words on the stone tablet again.

Unexpectedly, part of it was translated.

Of course, it's only intermittent, for example, the first word is translated.

But the second or third was not translated, but in the fourth it was translated again.

So it wasn't a huge help, but they were excited to be able to translate some of it.

After a long time, I only heard Sun Xiaoan ask in a low voice, "Teacher Shen, can you understand?" ”
