Chapter 63: The Red Gate Inn (Sixty-Three) Sarcophagus Tomb

Ding Si brewed a pot of tea and poured a cup for everyone one by one, Mo Chen took the tea bowl, blew it, and drank the tea slowly, listening to Zhang Zili tell about the extraordinary things he had encountered in the past few days of his disappearance.

The water washed Zhang Zili into a cave, and there was only one way out in front of him except for the bottomless pool. Zhang Zili had no choice but to grope his way to the only passage, in Zhang Zili's own words, the black did not see the five fingers, and he once thought that he had fallen into temporary blindness because of the impact of the flood.

Fortunately, after he walked for a long time, there was a faint sense of light in front of him, and as he approached, regular fluorescence gradually appeared on both sides of the cave wall.

Hearing this, Mo Chen couldn't help but think that the underground secret passage that he and Zheng Yi strayed into, judging from Zhang Zili's description, the style of the two seemed to be from the hand of one person.

"You can't imagine how strange it is!" Zhang Zili said.

In the passage of the strange cave, it is artificially built at first sight, and although the frame of the passage is not high, it can still accommodate an adult with a height of about 1.8 or 9 meters walking upright.

On the walls of the passage, delicate knife work carved the pattern of Huizi, and above the wall is a brazier made of stone, and there is lamp oil in it.

"The more I went inside, there were many forks in the road, and I was really confused by those forks at that time, and I didn't know where to go!" Zhang Zili drooped his eyelids and stared at the ground, Zheng Yi interjected without a straight face, "When you don't know where to go, it's good to lose your shoes!" ”

"What?" Zhang Zili's attention was all on his memories, and he didn't hear what Zheng Yi said clearly, Mo Chen glanced at Zheng Yi and motioned to Zhang Zili, "Don't pay attention to him, you continue!" ”

Many people have a habit of choosing the middle option if they don't have a definite idea in their minds when faced with three options. Zhang Zili is like this, in the face of three unknown forks in the road, he chose the one in the middle.

Turning around along the fork in the middle, there were two forks in the front, and this time Zhang Zili had to rely on his feelings and walked into the fork in the road on the right. I thought that even if he couldn't go out of that road, the worst would be a dead end in front of him, and it would be a big deal for him to turn back.

"But guess where it goes?!" Zhang Zili's eyes widened in horror, looking at everyone, Meng Xinyao was like a listener listening to a horror story, waiting for the appearance of the next "ghost" at any time, and couldn't help but clench Chen Cen's arm nervously.

"When I walked to the end of the road, there was a shining stone door, which looked very heavy, but I just flicked it lightly, and the door opened." Without waiting for everyone's response, Zhang Zili began to tell himself again.

Opening the stone door, what was placed in front of Zhang Zili was a place like a bedroom, and he walked in with some hesitation.

However, as soon as he stepped into the stone gate, he stood in place in horror, unable to take a step, and stared ahead in horror.

In that bedroom-like space, there is a large cabinet more than two meters long, the surface of which appears to be made of stone, with a rectangular appearance, and the surface is also carved with an ancient pattern like Hui Ziwen. Although Zhang Zili has not seen this kind of thing with his own eyes, but modern network technology is so developed, he has more or less seen it in some movies, TV series, and Internet reposts, and this kind of cabinet has a unified name, which is called "sarcophagus".

Mo Chen originally thought that the place where Zhang Zili lived was the underground of the Qian family that he and Zheng Yi strayed into, and when he heard this "sarcophagus", he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, it seems that the two are not the same, is it possible, the place where Zhang Zili went is the ancestral cemetery of the Qian family? !

"Have you seen a spirit tablet or a tombstone or something like that can confirm the identity of the coffin's owner?" Mo Chen asked.

Zhang Zili shook his head helplessly, "No! He lowered his head and tried to remember what had happened that day, "Although I haven't really been to the tomb, it is ...... It's kind of weird. ”

Mo Chen came to be interested, "Oh? How so? ”

People living in the old society, influenced by thousands of years of feudal superstition, believed that people had a soul after death. The soul of the deceased who is buried deep in the ground will live in the tomb from now on, so in the old tomb, the family of the deceased will collect some valuable things, or the books, paintings, and treasures that the deceased liked during his lifetime, and bury them together, which is the so-called funeral goods.

However, in the tomb where Zhang Zili went, not to mention the funeral goods, even if it was paper money, he didn't see a single one.

"It's not strange!" Mo Chen said, "The shelf life of paper products is nothing more than decades, and the funeral goods you mentioned may have been discovered by the tomb robbers here a long time ago, and they may be looted." ”

"Is that so?!" Zhang Zili looked at Mo Chen suspiciously, although Mo Chen's explanation was very reasonable, but he just felt that there was something strange in the tomb, and he couldn't say the specifics.

Seeing the coffin was purely accidental, Zhang Zili at that time just wanted to get out of there as soon as possible, although he didn't meet some "monsters" and "ghosts" as described in some YY, the gloomy atmosphere there alone was enough for him to escape.

Zhang Zili suddenly shrunk his legs into the chair, his head embedded in his knees, and his arms tightly hugged his legs. This posture looks extremely feminine, like the usual appearance of a girl in fear.

Meng Xinyao was a little unbearable, and proposed, "If it's so terrifying, it's okay if you don't talk about it, or you can tell us it when you're in a good mood one day." ”

Zhang Zili sent his tightly wrapped arms and smiled awkwardly, but he still snuggled up in his chair like that. "No, I'm just a little cold."

Zheng Yi stood up, took off his outer wear, and draped it on Zhang Zili. Zhang Zili glanced at him with emotion and thanked him, Zheng Yi said politely, and slapped Zhang Zili's shoulder twice with his hand.

The ordinary actions between good friends, Mo Chen saw it in his eyes, but he had some doubts in his heart, he and Zheng Yi were old together, and he was also a little nervous, he always felt that Zheng Yi should have seen some clues in Zhang Zili. He didn't fade out so kindly, taking off his coat to Zhang Zili, at least Mo Chen didn't believe that he would do this to men.

"I was scared at the time, because I was alone." Although Zhang Zili didn't want to deny his fear at the time, he also wanted to find a reasonable explanation for his fear.

In a hurry, Zhang Zili retreated into the tomb, and at that time he had only one thought, which was to stay away from the tomb, regardless of whether the guy in the coffin would jump out and chase him.

was in a panic, and there was no way out, Zhang Zili finally ran into the other side, the passage that he had just abandoned.
