241. Wolong collapses
At this time, no one dared to make any more claims, and they all waited for Sheng Shiyao to give instructions. Visually inspecting the position where we are standing is five meters from the center of the pool, if we want to explore the black jade coffin, I am afraid it will be a little difficult.
I only listened to Sheng Shiyao's instructions: "Zhou Tong, you walk around this pool, see what the complete pattern engraved around it is, pay attention to your feet, and don't step on the mechanism again." Zhou Tong answered, and began to walk slowly around the pool, and when he went around to the opposite position, he shouted: "I know, Brother Yao, this is a dragon, your side is a dragon body, I see a dragon head here." ”
"Soul Wrapping Dragon." Sheng Shiyao whispered these four words in his mouth, and I heard them at the tip of my ear.
It is not simple to distinguish this dragon engraved on the black jade coffin from the literal meaning alone, and it has its meaning. I don't know if it's to protect the soul in this black jade coffin, or to calm it. If the former, the owner of this coffin really has the possibility of royalty, and if it is the latter, he is afraid that there will be evil spirits in it. Looking at this style, Sheng Shiyao wants to open this black jade coffin?
After Zhou Tong came back, he asked, "Brother Yao, do you want to find a way to open it?" Liu Yue next to him was the first to veto: "No, we are here to explore the underwater ancient city, and now we haven't seen the trace of the ancient city, and we have spent a lot of time here, what if there is an evil evil hidden in it?" In my opinion, it's better to leave it alone and find the exit as soon as possible. ”
It makes sense, I silently affirmed Liu Yue's opinion in my heart. After all, we came here for a purpose, and inadvertently entered this shark palace, and encountered a giant fish bone along the way, and it was already very strange that there were many dead shark people, and now there is a black jade coffin sunk at the bottom of the pool, and the jade coffin is engraved with dragon-shaped patterns around it, including the lid, and I don't know how the bad luck is, if it is really as Liu Yue said, it is fierce, then it is not asking for trouble.
I still remember the bloody corpse I met on the isolated island, and I almost wanted to die, and I still feel chilled when I think about it. I couldn't help but touch the purple gold box in my arms, it was by relying on this box that I escaped the catastrophe, and I was not so lucky every time.
What I thought in my heart was naturally conveyed to Sheng Shiyao, and he made a decision after a little silence: "Don't ignore this black jade coffin, look for it, there is another way out." His voice wasn't high, but it was enough for everyone to hear, so everyone started a search. Just from the outside to the inside, I didn't see anything that could be an exit, so I can only look around here.
Often there are times when you don't want to do something, but you don't want to do it. When the strange sound came again, I turned my head in shock, and squinted to see that the black jade coffin in the middle of the pool had automatically moved towards the shore.
Without waiting for Sheng Shiyao to ask, Zhou Tong explained honestly in a whisper: "This time it's me, kicking a groove in the stalagmite." ”
"It's not you." Sheng Shiyao categorically vetoed, "It is caused by the change of the space magnetic field." It was not artificially raised just now, but when we entered this space, the magnetic field of the human body and the magnetic field of the space were induced, which prompted all this to happen. ”
Everyone was in an uproar, they didn't expect this to be the case, that is, it means that after we stepped into this shark palace, we had actually touched the mechanism, which was triggered by our own magnetic field. When the black jade coffin moved to the shore, the ground was moved to both sides, just revealing the position where the coffin could move, and it only stopped when the black jade coffin was completely horizontal on the ground.
Zhou Tong swallowed his saliva and asked, "Brother Yao, do you want to open it?" After Sheng Shiyao nodded and said "open", Zhou Tong immediately shouted: "Sixth son, work." "It's exciting to listen to the sound. Everyone is curious, Sheng Shiyao changed his mind definitely not because of curiosity, he must have noticed it, Liu Yue also closed his mouth and stopped objecting.
Looking at the pool, I don't feel that when I get to the front of me, this coffin is actually very large, bigger than usual. I only heard Zhou Tong and Liuzi muttering in a low voice while trying to open the lid of the coffin: "This outer coffin is so heavy, and there are treasures everywhere here, there should be no shortage of funeral goods inside, I don't know what treasures will be hidden inside." ”
"Hehe, it's really the first time I've encountered this kind of emperor's cave." Liuzi said with a smile. On the side, Liu Yue was scolding: "You pay attention, be careful when you drive out and are washed away by the corpse gas, and you still have the heart to chat here." Zhou Tong said indifferently: "It's okay, Brother Yao is here, and besides, we are not new, where are we still as timid as before." Don't look at me as if I don't have Brother Yao's skills, but my sense of smell is still sensitive, and I can smell any evil breath, don't worry. ”
The three of them were muttering at one end, and the other three Zhuang Yu were sent to push the lid of the coffin at the other end. It took a lot of effort to gather the strength of six people to push the lid open, but when the lid was completely lifted, everyone was stunned. Zhou Tong lost his voice and shouted: "Empty? "Sheng Shiyao pulled me forward to take a look, even if my vision was not clear, I could vaguely see the huge black jade coffin, not to mention that there were no dazzling treasures, not even a sarcophagus or wooden coffin that should have been. This is strange.
According to Zhou Tong's description next to him, the bottom of the empty coffin has a concave outline of a human body, and I specifically asked him whether the bottom end was a foot or a fish tail, and he was sure that it was a human foot. That means that there should have been a person lying here, but I don't know where this person is, but why is there only a coffin, but no inner coffin? This doesn't make sense. Or is it said that in a certain ancient dynasty, there was no coffin, and the coffin was used as a coffin?
But seeing Sheng Shiyao suddenly reach in, my heart tightened, and I instinctively grabbed his arm, he turned his head sideways and whispered to me: "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion." I had to let go of him, and watched him put his hand into the coffin, caressing it a little, knowing that he was looking for suspicious traces, and there was silence all around, and all eyes were on him.
After he touched it, he said slowly: "This is not a coffin, it is a sleeping dragon collapse." ”
"What? Is this a bed? Someone exclaimed in surprise and was stopped by Zhou Tong: "Don't make a fuss and shout?" Instead, he asked Sheng Shiyao hesitantly: "Brother Yao, you said that this is not a burial, but a sleeping bed?" No, who put the bed in the water, and put a lid or something. And it's called Wolong Collapse? Meaning to sleep for the emperor? ”
But I heard Sheng Shiyao say: "Wolong collapse is just another name, not necessarily the couch where the royal family sleeps." If you lift this top cover to the ground, you can see that there are pillar holes at the four corners of it, and the bottom four corners of this black jade collapse also have column feet, which are matching, so this top cover itself is actually the chassis of this Wolong collapse, but because of the clever design, it was used as a cover after the owner left. As for why it sinks at the bottom of the pool, it should be related to the black jade material, which can produce some kind of magnetic field between it and the pool water, which can permeate the entire space, and the specific effect is not known, perhaps it is the environment needed for survival. ”
After lifting the top cover completely to the ground, I also leaned over and touched the four corners, as Sheng Shiyao said, there was a pillar hole design, and I went to touch the bottom of the black jade collapse, and I did touch the column base more than an inch high. That confirms the idea that the top cover is actually the bottom.
sighed and sighed, it was really a false alarm, after seeing all kinds of coffins a few times, everyone's first instinct was to treat this kind of rectangular giant box as a coffin, but they didn't think that the difference was Zhang Heiyu. Speaking of collapse, I have a very deep impression of it, countless times in my dreams I dreamed that Sheng Shiyao was lying on the black stone collapse, in Zhuang Yu's underground palace, we have also really laid, the same is black, will this black jade collapse also have a miraculous effect?
"Don't try it out." Sheng Shiyao whispered in his ear, "This collapse is very different from that of the underground palace, there is an inexplicable power, if you don't control it well, you may be swayed by this force." I nodded in acquiescence, just thinking about it in my head, where is there really a thought to lie in, such a deep collapse, just mistook it for a coffin, it feels weird to think about it.
After it was determined that it was Zhang Collapse, everyone was no longer interested in studying it, and dispersed to continue looking for an exit. Only Sheng Shiyao was squatting there, not knowing what he was doing, I leaned closer, squinted my eyes to look, and found that he was studying the carvings around the black jade collapse. Because it was so dark, I couldn't see it, so I had to wait and not disturb him.
After a while, I saw him stand up and say, "No need to look for it." There are only two possibilities, one up and one down, and they are in the position of this black jade collapse. Let's move this out of the way and see what's underneath. ”
Everyone gathered, but it was very difficult to just open the top lid before, and now it is really not an easy job to remove the entire black jade collapse. Originally, six people, plus me and Sheng Shiyao, a total of eight people pushed it, but they all had little effect, and almost didn't move. There is no way, since it is difficult to go down, let's go up.
Speaking of which, the position of this black jade collapse is very coincidental, just between the two stone milk pillars, needless to say that the top of the head is covered with stalactites, from the appearance it is unlikely that there will be a passage above, but everything can not only look at the surface, you must be careful to verify before you know whether it is feasible or not. Liuzi's feet were inconvenient, so he didn't let him come to the work of climbing, and it was Zhou Tong who led people to climb up the stone milk pillar.
I tilted my head and my eyes narrowed into a line, but I still couldn't see the situation on the top clearly, so I could only whisper to ask Liuzi. Suddenly, I heard Zhou Tong's shout from the top: "Yes! There really is! Brother Yao, there is a loose layer of stone, which was broken by me with a hard smash, and I saw that the gap was hollowed out. "I have heard the explanation of the six sons just now that they climbed into the middle of the stone milk, and there is no one in sight, so I didn't expect the good news to come so soon. Sheng Shiyao Shen ordered us not to move in place, and he quickly climbed up, and I could only see his figure clearly, and my eyes followed him until he disappeared between the stone breasts.
For a moment, you felt an inexplicable panic, as if he would disappear so suddenly. Suppressed the urge to call him, pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the movement above, but according to Liuzi, this elevated space is nearly ten meters, and how high it is after the stone milk is immeasurable, so if it is not for the shouting above, it is difficult to hear the sound below.
