Chapter 62: The Coffin Was Stolen?
After a while, the fat man finally picked up a shovel and continued to work as a laborer.
"Wait......"
When it was almost time to dig, Hu Bayi drank, jumped down the pit and knocked it with a small shovel, and said with a happy face: "Empty, this slate should be able to move." ”
"Hey, be careful, don't destroy the tomb."
Fluttershy is an archaeologist after all, and she has suffered from an occupational illness.
Gao Xing snapped for a moment and said, "Don't worry, Fluttershy, they're professionals...... Ahem, archaeologists by profession. ”
"Cut, less excuses!"
Fluttershy pouts.
After digging for a while, Hu Bayi tried to pry a few times, but the slate was really loose.
"There's a play!"
The fat man's eyes lit up and he hurried to help.
The two of them worked together and soon lifted the slate.
A cold wind, as well as an indescribable breath, almost made Hu Bayi and the fat man angry.
Even Star and Fluttershy, who are standing above, are affected and take a few steps back to avoid the dark hole.
"Damn, this tomb has been closed for more than a thousand years, and it almost smoked the fat man to death......"
The fat man held his breath, jumped up the pit, and ran away, only then did he gasp and curse.
"It's okay, I made a mistake...... Hu Bayi smiled embarrassedly: "Open the wind first, and wait for the air to circulate for a while, and then we will go down." ”
Fluttershy is confused.
She had already guessed the identities of Hu Bayi and the fat man, and if she had changed her previous personality, she was afraid that she would have yelled a long time ago, or ran to inform Professor Chen and his party.
And now, I don't know what's going on, I don't have the idea of making a small report, and I want to go down to see it together.
Don't...... Is it because he's here too?
Fluttershy subconsciously glances at Gao Xing, only to find that Gao Xing's eyes are slightly closed, and he looks like he is out of the world.
In fact, Gao Xing was opening his eyes to inspect the hole that was exposed after the stone slab was removed.
Heavenly Eye, you don't have to keep your eyes open, when you cultivate to a high and profound realm, you can sense the surrounding environment and unusual movements even if you close your eyes.
It's amazing.
After secretly observing it for a while, there seemed to be nothing unusual.
However, Gao Xing did not take it lightly. After all, this is a thousand-year-old tomb, and it's hard to tell what dangers are hidden inside.
For the sake of safety, Gao Xing secretly opened the interface of the system mall, ready to exchange his reputation for a few life talismans.
There aren't many items available for redemption in the mall, but they're practical.
For example, Dao Symbols.
At present, the Dao talismans that can be exchanged are relatively complete, almost two dozen kinds.
However, there are different grades.
The first-level Dao Talisman requires 20 reputation points.
Level 2 requires 50 reputation.
Level 3 and above...... It hasn't been unlocked yet, this is because Gao Xing's strength has not reached the unlock conditions.
After entering this world, Gao Xing continued one after another, and only earned more than 400 prestige points, so he didn't dare to spend it indiscriminately, so he chose for a while, and finally spent 150 prestige points to select 3 second-level Dao talismans.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Hu Bayi walked to the entrance of the cave and lit a candle and stretched it into the cave.
After observing for a while, the flames were normal.
This is not the same as lighting a candle after entering the tomb, which is to test whether the air in the tomb has oxygen. If there is not enough oxygen in the air, then the flame will become weaker and weaker, or even extinguished.
"Alright, let's go in."
Hu Bayi touched the flashlight and shone it, and then carefully slid the bag on his back.
Then, the fat man also got in.
Gao Xing glanced at Fluttershy and said, "Fluttershy, you can think about it, this is an ancient tomb that has been closed for more than a thousand years, and no one can tell what dangers are hidden inside, and it's too late to turn back." ”
"No, if you dare to go down, I will dare. Besides, I have to oversee you. ”
"Pull us down, oversee us? From your eyes, I can clearly see a hint of excitement and adventure......"
"Hmph, I'm too lazy to talk to you, I'll go down."
Fluttershy can't help but say something, and sneaks through the hole into the tomb first.
After Gao Xing went down, he subconsciously shook his surroundings with a flashlight, only to find that the place where Hu Bayi and the fat man dug was right in the middle of the passage.
However, the passage of this burial chamber is not long, only four or five meters.
Less than three meters away from them was the tomb gate.
"Huh? What's the thing on the tomb door? ”
The fat man shook his flashlight and asked suspiciously.
"I don't know, let's go and see ......"
Although it was only about three meters away from the tomb gate, the group of four people still did not dare to take it lightly, and first tested it with a rope and found that there was no mechanism, so they walked to the tomb gate.
"It's sheepskin!"
Once at the tomb gate, Fluttershy begins to explain.
After all, she studied archaeology, and she still has some understanding of the layout of some ancient tombs.
"This is to keep the tomb in a closed way, and when the door is closed, a fresh sheepskin is attached to the crack of the door to prevent air from circulating."
"I see...... Fatty, bring a knife and open it carefully, and don't spoil this ancient sheepskin. ”
With Fluttershy watching, Hu Bayi can't be too violent.
After uncovering the sheepskin, the four of them worked together to push the door of the tomb open a crack, and then ran away until the air poured into the tomb.
Estimating that the time was almost up, he carefully pushed the tomb open......
"Huh? Isn't this tomb too big? ”
The fat man took a picture and found that there was only one tomb, which was quite different from his imagination at the beginning, and he thought it would be an underground palace or something.
"It's normal, after all, this is a tomb built in the city, how can it be built like outside?"
Hu Bayi explained, and then carefully explored the surroundings.
There were altars, stone platforms, frescoes, clay pots, and the bones of several sheep in the burial chamber, but there was no gold, silver, jewelry, or anything like that.
"Day, why don't you even have a coffin? It can't be an empty tomb, right? ”
The fat man finally discovered a serious problem.
"It shouldn't be an empty tomb......"
Fluttershy looks at the murals in the tomb with some obsession and begins to explain them playfully.
"These frescoes clearly record the life of the tomb owner...... This is a record of his childhood and adolescence......"
"Later, I became an official ......"
"The official is getting bigger and bigger...... Looking at this, he knelt on the ground and accepted the king's reward......"
"He married two wives...... No, I married another one later, and the one I married later was so beautiful that even the stars were overshadowed......"
"Finally...... Yes? The woman was buried with her...... The old society of all evils ......"
Fluttershy is furious.
The fat man looked bitter and said, "Fluttershy, it's been more than a thousand years, what's the use of you scolding?" Importantly, what about the coffin? Did you find any clues in these murals? ”
Fluttershy squeaks, "This...... There is no indication on the mural...... Perhaps, the coffin was stolen? ”
"You can't figure it out!" Hu Bayi said angrily: "Who has nothing to do to steal the coffin?" Let's look for it, maybe there's a dark room, or a dark coffin......"
