Chapter 63: The Underground Crypt Hides Danger
The so-called hidden coffin, the meaning is very simple, the one that can be seen at a glance in the tomb is called the open coffin, and the hidden one is called the dark coffin.
At the beginning, the coffin of the general of the Jin Kingdom in Niuxinshan was a dark coffin, and it would only rise when the mechanism was touched.
"Yes, yes, the old nonsense makes sense, let's look for it."
A group of four people split up, looking for traces of spiders.
Hu Bayi, Fatty, and Fluttershy look along the tomb wall.
Gao Xing walked to the middle of the tomb and crouched down on the ground to take a closer look.
According to his idea, in general, if it was a dark coffin, most of them would be placed in the middle of the tomb.
Not to mention, there was a real discovery.
Blowing away the dust on the ground, some patterns are faintly revealing underneath.
"Lao Hu, come and see ......"
"Oh?"
The fat man ran the fastest, and rushed to Gao Xing as soon as he slipped through the smoke.
"Grab a brush and clean up this place......"
After cleaning, a clue was found: a large stone slab two meters square was found in the middle.
However, the slate was almost seamless with the entire burial chamber, and even the blade could not be inserted, and there was no way to buckle it open.
"Don't work in vain, you can't pry it open, most of it has a mechanism."
Hu Bayi stood up and looked around for the mechanism.
Eventually, Fluttershy does another ...... Well, there is quite a potential to be an accomplice.
"Ha, I found it!"
The girl found a protruding button underneath the altar.
"It's as simple as that?"
Hu Bayi was a little suspicious.
It's okay to say that there are a few buttons, and you can find a way to crack it. There is only one, and that means there is no choice.
"Old Hu, don't scare yourself. You see, we didn't have any mechanism when we came in, and there were no mechanism in this tomb.
Obviously, the burial chamber is under their own yard, and they think it's safe, and they don't need to set traps or anything......"
Hearing the fat man's words, Hu Bayi couldn't help but say: "Fat man, I didn't expect you to be smart too." ”
The fat man immediately became proud: "It must be ...... Hey? No, are you praising me or hurting me? ”
"Hahaha, of course it's a compliment on you!"
Fluttershy said angrily, "You two don't play tricks, in the end, this mechanism, or not?" ”
"Wrench!"
The fat man shouted.
Fluttershy ignores him and instead glances at Star.
"Let's wrench, I don't think it's a problem."
"Then I'll pull it."
Fluttershy gets excited and pushes her hard......
"Click!"
With a soft sound, the eyes of the four people glanced together towards the middle of the tomb.
"Huh? No movement? The fat man blinked.
As a result, as soon as the words fell, there was a rumbling sound in the tomb, and the whole tomb trembled slightly.
"It's open, it's really open......"
Seeing the stone slab slowly rising, the fat man yelled excitedly.
"Your uncle, be quiet...... By the way, I almost forgot to light a candle. ”
Hu Bayi drank a sentence, then quickly opened the bag, took out the compass to locate the southeast corner, and lit a candle.
Fluttershy watches silently.
When Hu Bayi got up, he pointed at Hu Bayi and shouted: "Wow, do you dare not admit that it is a tomb robber?" Don't think I don't know, the tomb robbers light the candle before the coffin is opened, and as soon as the candle is extinguished, they have to leave quickly, right? ”
The fat man asked stupidly, "Who did you listen to?" ”
"Leave it alone, I've heard it anyway."
"Fluttershy, you misunderstood, I lit the candle because I was afraid of the poisonous gas in the tomb, you see, if the flame is red, it means safe. If it turns green, it means that there is poisonous gas, and if it goes out, it means that there is not enough oxygen, of course, you have to flash it quickly......"
Hu Bayi knows that this explanation is rather pale, but Fluttershy guesses that it is the same thing, and she can't admit it to her face anyway.
At this time, Gao Xing frowned and drank: "Don't talk about these useful and useless ...... You see, the coffin did not rise. ”
The slate had been raised by the trap and moved to the side, revealing a hole. The movement had stopped, but the coffin had not been raised.
"Could it be that the real burial chamber is still down there?"
"Let's go, go over and see ......"
A group of four people walked over slowly.
A probe shines on ...... Only then did I find that there was no coffin at all, and below was the burial chamber, in which lay two corpses, as well as some burial goods such as gold and jade.
The bones were one man and one woman.
This also confirms Fluttershy's previous explanation that the woman was buried with her.
Curiously, though, the two bodies looked very different. The man's bones were visibly withered and shriveled, like smoked jerky.
But the female corpse has not changed at all.
Her face was covered with a hide of strange symbols, and her face and head could not be seen clearly.
But the exposed neck and hands are exactly the same as normal people, except for the pale appearance.
Such a strange situation, even Fluttershy can't figure it out: "It's strange, at the same time when the burial is carried out, the environment is the same, how can the contrast between the corpses be so great?" ”
The fat man was lazy and thought he was humorous: "Didn't you say she was beautiful at first?" Maybe it's because it's hard to give up on being beautiful. ”
"Yo, fatty, it's rare that you're so cultured......"
Hu Bayi didn't forget to tease.
At this time, Gao Xing frowned and said nothing.
He felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Just now, he had secretly opened his Heavenly Eye to observe, but the tomb below seemed to have a mysterious power that his Heavenly Eye could not see.
With the naked eye, the animal skin covering the woman's face, with those strange symbols on it, is a bit like an ancient tantric scripture.
Moreover, among the burial goods below, Gao Xing also found several unusual items.
Although it is not too certain, it is preliminarily estimated that it is very likely to be an ancient ritual instrument of Tantra.
"Lao Hu, it's developed, look at the ...... below"
The fat man shook the bottom with a flashlight, a little carried away, his eyes lit up, and his face was greedy, completely forgetting that there were two corpses below, and that there was an archaeologist beside him.
Hu Bayi couldn't help coughing dryly, glared at the fat man and shouted: "Your uncle's, these are cultural relics, don't think nonsense." ”
As he spoke, he gave the fat man a look.
"Yes, yes, Lao Hu, hang me with a rope, I'll go down and see...... Fluttershy, look around and see if there's no mechanism or anything. ”
As a result, Fluttershy snorts, "Dead fatty, trying to break me apart?" No way, I'm going down too. ”
"Don't go down yet!"
Gao Xing came back to his senses and quickly roared.
"What's wrong?"
The fat man was taken a step forward and quickly took a few steps back.
Hu Bayi also glanced at Gao Xing with some confusion: "Gao Xing, this ...... It shouldn't be a big brown man, right? ”
Gao Xing shook his head: "I can't tell, I always feel a little wrong." In this way, people should not go down first, and find a way to uncover the animal skin on the face of the female corpse. ”
"Okay!"
Hu Bayi answered and found a telescopic rod from his bag.
This telescopic rod is somewhat similar to a shrinking fish rod, but much stronger, almost four meters when straightened, enough to reach the bottom of the grave......
