Chapter 66: The Living Tomb (Part I)

As soon as the three of them walked out of the entrance of the tomb, they immediately had a feeling of being in the sky, the ground here was very clean, without a trace of dust, as if it had just been cleaned, and the scene of dust in the tomb was diametrically opposed, and the footprints of one in and one out were no trace here.

If the cleanliness of this place surprised us, the scene above our heads surprised us even more.

Everything ahead was still dark, but there was an infinite blue light floating in the sky overhead, as if there was a vast space above.

I don't know if it's blue light or blue fog, but standing here, it looks like it's covered in a blue veil, and it's in stark contrast to the darkness below.

Oddly enough, we can see the blue light overhead with the naked eye, but we can't see clearly in the darkness ahead. The blue light is at a certain height, and it will be parallel to the darkness, and it feels like a boundary has been drawn long ago, and no one interferes with anyone.

After taking two steps forward, I saw that there were two rows of copper wax platforms in front of the entrance of the tomb, which extended regularly towards the inside, and there was a wax platform on the left and right every 2 meters, and it seemed that there should be a lot of them inside.

There were no candles on the wax table, all the lamp bowls were filled with corpse oil, and the old prostitute walked to the wax table with the lamp bowls, lit the two nearest lamp bowls, and then walked all the way forward, trying to light all the lamp bowls.

I saw that the old prostitute was lighting two rows of lamps and bowls by herself and moving left and right, so I hurriedly followed, took out a lighter and ordered a row of the old prostitute.

The two of them each lit a row of lamp bowls, and the speed was indeed very fast, and as more and more lamp bowls were lit, the place became clear.

Although it was still dark in front and the length of the room could not be seen, the lamp bowl lit in the back was able to illuminate a part of the space. It's a tall stone space, about 20 meters wide, surrounded by the kind of dark black stones we see outside the tomb, as for how high it is, we can't see it yet, because the faint blue light above obscures the top, so it's hard to tell the height now, but I think it shouldn't be less than 30 meters.

I don't know how many lamp bowls I lit in total, and I don't know how many lamp bowls there are in front of Lu Dao, but I think there are more than two dozen of them, and just as I continued to light the lamp bowl in front of me, I saw that there were three bluestone coffins in front of this lamp bowl.

Seeing the bluestone sarcophagus in front of me, I just wanted to call the old prostitute over, but I saw that the old prostitute was already standing at the other end of the coffin, lighting the lamp bowl in front of the coffin. After the old prostitute lit all the lamps around the coffin, the surroundings of the coffin became bright, and everything around them became extraordinarily clear.

All three coffins are made of the same stone, but it seems that the stone of the coffins is not made here. Because the stones around here are dark black, and the stone of the coffin is slightly blue, a bit like jadeite, but if you look closely, it doesn't look like jadeite.

Originally, it was a happy thing to see the coffin in the ancient tomb, but I couldn't be happy when I looked at the three sarcophagi in front of me. This may have something to do with my experience, every time I encounter a sarcophagus, a little sudden incident can happen, my nerves now when I see the sarcophagus, it is natural to tense, not that my heart is scared, but the three sarcophagi in front of me are really a bit of a headache.

The three sarcophagi are placed side by side, the same size, all with the coffin head facing inward, but they are placed without any spacing, almost one side of the sarcophagus, close to the side of the other sarcophagus. If that's all there is, it's understandable, but what puzzles me is that the sarcophagi placed on the left and right sides have coffin lids, but on the middle sarcophagus, there is no coffin lid, and there is no coffin lid around the sarcophagus.

This has to make people suspicious, after all, all the sarcophagi placed on the ground are stone, and the coffin lid is all stone, no matter what kind of stone it is, it will not be as light as wood, and it is impossible to be easily moved.

The old prostitute glanced at the sarcophagus, looked around, pointed to the sarcophagus without a coffin lid, and said, "My god, where is this coffin lid?" With that, he glanced into the sarcophagus without a lid in the middle, and then turned and walked towards the front, where there were still a few unlit lamp bowls.

When I saw the old prostitute walking inside, it must not have been to light the lamp bowls in front of me, but to see where the missing coffin lid was.

Seeing that he was looking for the coffin lid, I couldn't help but look around, just Xiao Moyan walked slowly to me, and suddenly, grabbed my arm, and before she could speak, I had a very bad premonition.

For I could already clearly feel her hands trembling, and they were shaking very quickly, and when my eyes saw her eyes, it was as if I saw horror and uneasiness in her eyes.

"What's wrong?" I asked softly.

"There's a voice in this." Xiao Moyan said tremblingly, pointing to the coffin.

Hearing her say that there was a voice in the coffin, I instinctively took a step back, looked at the coffin, and did not immediately ask what the sound was, but calmed down and wanted to hear what was wrong. But the old prostitute didn't know what she saw in front of her, and it made three clanging sounds, so noisy that I couldn't hear anything, so I had to ask Xiao Moyan softly: "What did you hear inside?" ”

"Heartbeat, very powerful heartbeat." After Xiao Moyan finished speaking, he pointed to a coffin on the other side, and then said, "There is also that one." ”

As soon as I heard her say that the sound in the coffin was the sound of a heartbeat, I thought to myself, this is not a trivial matter. hurriedly summoned the old prostitute back.

After screaming several times, the old prostitute came back, and as she walked back, she complained: "My day, there is a grocery store in it, and there are things of all ages, but none of them are of any damn value, they are all a pile of rags." ”

The old prostitute walked up to the coffin, stood across from us and asked, "What did you call me to come over?" Did you find any treasures? ”

"I didn't find it, but I found two beating hearts." After saying that, I pointed to the sarcophagi on the left and right sides.

When the old prostitute heard me say that she found two beating hearts, she immediately became strict, squatted beside the coffin, and after listening for more than ten seconds, she stood up. The sound of his footsteps becoming much slower, and he walked around the sarcophagus for a large half circle before he came around to us, dragged me and Xiao Moyan a little farther away from the coffin, and said softly: "My god, it really looks like a heartbeat in there." ”

After the old prostitute finished speaking, she looked at Xiao Moyan again and asked, "Can you hear the voice in the sarcophagus?" Are you sure it's a heartbeat? ”

Xiao Moyan didn't answer, but nodded heavily, from her expression, it could be seen that she was still a little scared, probably because the heartbeat she heard was many times louder than ours.

After seeing Xiao Moyan's answer, the old prostitute's face became solemn, no longer as relaxed as just now, I know what he was worried about, what he was worried about was not the two heartbeats in the sarcophagus now. In fact, now I am more worried than him, and I am more afraid of what I am worried about.
