Chapter 557: The Huge Sarcophagus at the Entrance!
After quickly explaining the situation of the Buddha statue to the blind man, the four of them continued to walk briskly along the cobblestone path at their feet, no matter what strange things would be there, they had already arrived here, and there was no reason to retreat.
Due to the low terrain here, there is still some stagnant water in the pebbles that I don't know where to gather from, and stepping on it makes a 'pop' footsteps, which looks particularly ethereal.
None of the four of them spoke much, their faces were different from each other, and while they were thinking, they came to the stone gate in the center of the lotus throne!
The two stone doors are composed of two square strip stones, which are painted with large and small golden symbols, and after a few glances, Wu Yi only recognized a 'swastika' character, which Wu Yi knew when he used to pour antiques, read 'sastika' in Sanskrit, which means 'auspicious sea and clouds', that is, the auspicious symbol presented between the sea and the clouds, and is considered by Buddhists to be 'Ruixiang', and it is said that it can gush out of the treasure light.
The fat man was not interested in these symbols at all, and said without being salty or light,
"It's really a bodhisattva who closes his eyes, what demons and monsters dare to come out and walk around, this Buddha is not a Buddha, a ghost thing that is not a demon, and he actually painted the symbol of Buddhism on the gate, but he is not afraid of being careless, but he has suppressed himself underneath!"
As he spoke, the fat man lifted his foot and kicked it on one of the stone doors, which was unexpectedly heavy, and only shook a few times, revealing a narrow gap, but it did not open.
The blind man kindly reminded him,
"Master Wu, since we already know that this is an extremely strange place, so it's better not to be reckless, just take a look at it first, behind this stone gate, will there be any mechanism in ambush, if not, it won't be too late for us to open it again."
Wu Yi answered, he observed two laps in front of the stone door, and pushed one of them hard to listen carefully to the sound of whether there was a mechanism running, and after a while, he said to the blind man, there was no mechanism behind, and there was very little dust under the stone door, and it had obviously been opened and closed many times, even if there was a mechanism, it had already failed when it was opened for the first time, so don't worry.
After speaking, they greeted the fat man, and the two of them worked together to push the stone gate backwards, and it took a lot of effort to finally push open a gap that could pass through people.
The four of them prepared their weapons and lighting equipment, held them in their hands, and the fat man was still the pathfinder, and squeezed in through the gap first, and Wu Yi and the three of them immediately followed and entered the inside of this huge Buddha statue.
As soon as I entered, I felt that my body was a little cold, because the inside was isolated from the outside for a long time, so the humid air inside could not be dispersed, and all of it became cold water vapor, standing inside, I felt as if I had entered a water hole, and even the front of the beam of the flashlight became foggy, and the irradiation distance was immediately shortened by nearly three meters.
The fat man walked in front, adjusted the flashlight and tactical spotlights to the brightest, and then shone forward, and when he looked over, the fat man stretched his neck, and at first glance thought that he was wrong, so he took two steps forward and looked again, this time he saw clearly
I saw that in the middle of the front, there was a huge ancient pure black sarcophagus!
Wu Yi also saw this sarcophagus behind the fat man, and the whole person stiffened for a moment, although he had made twelve preparations in his heart to meet the strange things in the ruins of this temple, but he didn't expect that as soon as he came in, he saw a coffin coldly!
The coffin, in the ancient tomb, is generally placed in the deepest and most hidden place, to prevent being found and opened the coffin, this kind of place at the entrance, Wu Yi is really unheard of, even in the two inheritances of the herringbone scroll and the ground scroll, such a rare thing has never been mentioned.
The fat man reacted, and also felt very strange, pointing to the sarcophagus and grinning,
"Could it be that the owner of the tomb here knows that his ancient tomb will be visited by tomb thieves sooner or later, so he has placed himself at the entrance, so that the tomb robbers can take a light touch in the tomb for the sake of his such frankness?"
Wu Yi shook his head and said,
"If he had been so honest, there wouldn't have been so many traps outside, so there could be no way that the owner of the tomb was in this sarcophagus, I guess......"
The fat man waved his hand and interrupted,
"What's there to guess about this, don't forget what we're here for, we're here to open the coffin and make a fortune, it's our duty to do when we see the coffin, let's go!"
After saying that, he waved his hand and took the lead towards the coffin.
I walked over and looked around the coffin, and saw that on both sides of it, there were two rows of futons, eight in each row, and the futons had broken and blackened due to age.
Behind the sarcophagus is a stone niche in the shape of a hut more than one person high, and a long banner made of animal skins hangs on the stone niche, blocking the contents of the shrine.
The shrine is used by the ancients to hold sacred items, which are generally dedicated to the gods and Buddhas or gods, since this shrine is in the temple, it should be a Buddha shrine, so the animal skin banner behind the block, should be a Buddha statue.
Wu Yi walked over and lifted the long banner to look inside, and sure enough, there was a blue-faced Buddha in the small pavilion inside, this Buddha statue was much more normal than the Buddha statue with a long snake hanging on its ears outside, except that the whole body was still that kind of cyan, there was nothing special.
After checking around and seeing that there was nothing unusual, the four of them gathered around the sarcophagus.
This sarcophagus is extremely black, tall and large, a few sizes larger than any coffin Wu Yi has seen before, and the lid and wall of the sarcophagus are not decorated except for a few fine patterns, but because of this, this sarcophagus is even more mysterious.
The fat man circled around the sarcophagus, then pointed to the lid of the coffin and muttered,
"It's really strange, since there are already tomb robbers who have entered this temple before us, why didn't they open this coffin?
You can see that the dust on the coffin lid is very thick and even, and I also looked around the coffin lid, and the fire paint in the gaps is very complete, and there is no trace of damage by chiseling, which shows that this coffin has not been moved.
Could it be that the tomb robbers were all blind, so they didn't see it? ”
Wu Yi didn't expect the fat man to have such a powerful detection ability, only after listening to the fat man say this, he realized that this matter is indeed a little strange, the tomb robber saw the coffin It stands to reason that it is the same as the drunkard seeing the wine, it is impossible to be indifferent to it, so why hasn't this sarcophagus been opened?
