Chapter 623: Colorful Coffin
Because the passage is still relatively wide, the rubble doesn't need to be completely cleared aside. ??.?? `
At my command, the others quickly cleared a passage and, at my request, left the largest stone behind.
Thinking of the hairless mandrill that had appeared before, I was a little embarrassed, and I hesitated to go down, after all, there was a good chance that those cruel things existed below.
Shen Dali saw my embarrassment, and walked over and whispered, "Fifth brother, why don't you let someone go down to explore the situation first?" ”
If there had been no hairless mandrill before, I might not have made arrangements like this, but at this time, the intention of letting them go down would be too obvious, and it would obviously be inappropriate to do so.
I thought about it for a long time, and decided not to explore the road below for the time being, and then go to the left and right rooms.
Because of all this experience, I now have a vague guess that our every move here is likely to be under the watchful eye of those hairless mandrills.
Chances are, they're hiding in an unnoticed corner right now, looking out of a small hole.
After deliberation, the others did not raise any objections to my suggestion, so we chose to explore the Left Room first.
There is also a passage between the left chamber and this burial chamber, but it is not very long, about two meters.
We only took three or two steps,?
The left chamber is not particularly large, with three large round jars placed side by side, behind which there is an empty coffin with no lid, and other than that, there is nothing inside.
This is a bit of a disappointment, because if we can't find the eggs in the left and right rooms, we'll have to find out if there are hairy mandrills.
Mr. Cui seemed to be more interested in the three vats and asked me what they were.
I walked over and looked, and now there was a round seat at the bottom of each cylinder, and a cylindrical hard thing protruded from the seat.
"It's supposed to be an ever-bright lamp, and that thing is the wick. There should have been lamp oil in it, but for some reason, the lamp oil is gone. I casually explained.
Mr. Cui nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "Why is the coffin empty?" ”
"Maybe it was for someone, but for some reason, the last person wasn't buried here. Or maybe there were grave robbers here and they had hollowed out all the contents. ”
At this time, Mr. Cui asked: "If this is the case, then why are there three permanent lights set up here?" ”
Shen Dali asked a little unhappily, "What do you want to say?" ”
Mr. Cui pointed to the three large vat and said, "You say, will there be something like a secret passage hidden under this vat?" ”
It was a baseless guess, but it made my heart flutter, and I couldn't help but look at those three cylinders a few more times?.?
Leng Yue walked over at this time, separated the group, came to the side of one of the large vats, reached out and grabbed the edge of the vat, pulled it tilted over, and then turned the jar and moved it to the side.
Then, I held up my flashlight and looked at the ground where the jar had just been placed, and was disappointed that nothing was there.
Leng Yue removed the second cylinder at this time, but still did not bring any appearance.
So, we all turned our eyes to the last jar.
Leng Yue had already walked to the side of the jar at this time, and followed the example of before, turning the jar and moving it away.
However, there were still nothing but floor tiles in that place.
I was secretly relieved, but also a little disappointed, and was about to beckon the others to try their luck in the right room, when I suddenly heard a "rustling" sound coming from inside the coffin.
"There's something in the coffin!" I hurriedly shouted a reminder, and everyone then hurriedly retreated, and Leng Yue rushed to the coffin with the white Gu Infant from the left and right.
Just when Leng Yue arrived at the coffin, a hairless mandrill suddenly appeared inside, holding a tube in his hand, and was about to blow it on our side when he brought it to his mouth, but Leng Yue quickly stopped it on the side, and grabbed its upper body with iron chopsticks, and simply and violently pulled it out of the coffin.
The hairless mandrill didn't seem to expect such a situation at all, and was obviously a little caught off guard, and after being thrown to the ground by Leng Yue, he was a little confused, and his eyes widened for a while and he forgot what he was going to do.
Leng Yue quickly took out the mountaineering rope from his backpack and tied up the hairless mandrill in a few steps.
At this time, the hairless mandrill reacted to what was going on, and screamed to struggle to get up, but because Leng Yue was very strong, it fell to the ground again before it could stand up, and almost broke one of its fangs, so painful that it grinned and its expression became even uglier.
After doing all this, Leng Yue left the hairless mandrill alone, quickly returned to the coffin, glanced inside, and immediately frowned.
I walked around the hairless mandrill to the coffin and looked inside, but it was empty.
"The lower slab should be able to be removed." I hurriedly reminded.
Leng Yue nodded her head, stretched out her iron chopsticks and looked for the inner edge of the coffin for a while, suddenly stopped, and then pushed it to the side, and sure enough, pushed the lower board aside, causing a dark passage to appear in front of our eyes.
I was overjoyed, and hurriedly raised my flashlight to look inside the dark passage, and now the dark passage is not too deep, as if it leads to the lower space.
"Let's go down and have a look." I hurriedly said to Leng Yue.
Leng Yue glanced at me, didn't say anything, jumped into the dark passage, and then propped up the wall with his hands and feet and went down, very fast, and after a while, the sound of landing came from below.
I leaned over the coffin and listened inside, trying to judge the danger in advance for Leng Yue, but before I heard anything, Leng Yue shouted below, "Come down." ”
It seems that those hairless mandrills must have fled in shock.
I asked Shen Dali and them to take care of this hairless mandrill, load the bullet, beware of the sneak attack of other hairless mandrills, and then enter the dark passage after the cold moon.
But before I could get to the bottom, I heard a "whoosh" from above, and it was a white Gu baby who jumped down and landed right on my head, so shocked that I let go of my hands and feet, and fell down directly, almost falling me apart.
I got up from the ground in some exasperation, and was immediately speechless by what I saw.
This is a very large burial chamber, the walls around it are painted with colorful murals, and there are many stone tools on the ground against the wall, but they are not as rough as the stone tools of the Stone Age, but they are very delicate, and the surface is colorful, and it looks like very high-end porcelain.
In the center of the burial chamber, there is a square sarcophagus, which is also colorful, but there is no pattern on the surface, although it is very plain, but it still looks very gorgeous.
In front of the sarcophagus, there is a tree-shaped lamp carved from colorful stone, on which there are a total of 12 lamps, and there are animals of different shapes on the branches, which seems to have been placed here as an everlasting lamp.
I frowned and observed for a moment, then my eyes widened, and I exclaimed, "Damn, it's actually a colorful stone!" ”
