Chapter 423: Three Sarcophagi
There is such an evil door in the tomb and the underground palace, and its design can be said to be painstaking. Wu Zhiyuan thought of the mountain of crispy bones on the passage outside the stone wall, and felt a chill in his heart, this cockscomb snake must have sucked all the corpse oil from the corpses of all the craftsmen who built the underground palace, so that the mausoleum lamp in the recess of the stone wall would not be extinguished for decades.
Who is the author of such a design that defies the principles of heaven? Wu Zhiyuan groaned slightly, and was stunned in his heart, could it be the Third Master? The Third Master was once arrested by the Qing soldiers and was responsible for the layout and mechanism design of this underground palace, if the design of this corpse oil lamp trough was from his idea, it is not impossible.
Wu Zhiyuan has not met the third master, and he doesn't know what kind of person he is at all, but thinking that he and the master Gushen are the same brothers, he must not be a big traitor, even if this corpse oil lamp trough was really designed by him, he must have been coerced by the Qing soldiers at that time.
When he came back to his senses, Wu Zhiyuan saw that the big boss and the second master were both staring at the oil lamp in the groove in a daze, with a look of surprise. Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly urged: "Go and open the stone gate, the cockscomb snake will come out in a while!" ”
A word woke up the dreamer, the big boss and the second boss hurriedly turned around the stone door and continued to grope for the door opening mechanism, Wu Zhiyuan stared at the movement in the stone crack, and reminded: "Push in from the right!" ”
The reason why Wu Zhiyuan concluded that the stone door was pushed in from the right was because he saw that the stone door had been opened like this, and a strange white face was revealed from the open gap, and when the white face was retracted behind the door, the stone door was also closed in this way.
The big boss and the second boss glanced at Wu Zhiyuan suspiciously, the two hesitated for a moment, and reached out together to push the right side of the stone gate, and sure enough, the stone gate moved in response to the sound and was pushed open an extremely narrow gap. The two of them were so tired that they stopped, each panting, and they could see that the stone gate was very heavy.
At this moment, there was a strange "clucking" sound again from the crack in the stone on the side, although the sound was not much different from the crow of a hen, but at this moment, it was terrifying.
"Quick! Push open the stone door! The cockscomb snake is coming out! Wu Zhiyuan roared, rushed over and vigorously pushed the stone gate with the second master. Even though he knew that there was a monster waiting for them inside the stone gate, it was much better than this chilling cockscomb snake.
The sound of "gurgling" became clearer and clearer, and the three of them held back their strength to push violently, only to hear the sound of "boom", and the gap on the right side of the stone gate became larger and larger, and soon one person could pass sideways. At this time, in the gap in the stone wall on the side, the cry of the cockscomb monster snake was getting closer and closer, as if it was about to rush out of the crack in the stone in the next moment.
Seeing that the shape was in danger, the big boss pushed the second master who was close to the crack in the door open, and he took the lead in dodging in from the crack in the door, and the second master did not dare to hesitate, and hurriedly followed and flashed into the crack in the door. Wu Zhiyuan was the last to step into the crack of the door, and the moment he dodged in, he clearly saw that the cockscomb snake had poked its head out of the crack in the stone wall.
As soon as he entered the stone gate, Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly said, "Close the stone gate quickly!" ”
The three of them worked together to push the stone door, and the moment the stone door closed, all three of them were panting tiredly. When he looked up, Wu Zhiyuan suddenly found that it was pitch black inside the stone gate, and there was no light.
There is a corpse oil lamp trough outside the stone gate, but there is no inside the stone gate, thinking that there is an unknown white-faced monster inside the stone gate, Wu Zhiyuan can't help but feel furious in his heart, and just about to ask who has lighting tools, he saw a light in front of him, and the second master lit a fire fold.
Wu Zhiyuan saw two humanoid stone carvings on both sides of the stone door at a glance, and looked carefully again, and found that they were two stone carvings of the lamp slaves, and couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, and took the fire fold in the hands of the second master and walked to the lamp slave on the left.
The stone carving of these two lamp slave figures is not very fine, and is similar to the humanoid stone carving on the ground, but this lamp slave image is more complicated. The two lamp slaves, a man and a woman, are placed on the left and right of the man, both of them are more than half a person tall, roughly the image of a child, and the gender can be seen only from the hair and clothing.
The lamp slave raised his hands above his head, and on the top of his head was carved an oil lamp, and the oil lamp and the lamp slave were one and the same, apparently carved from the same stone. Wu Zhiyuan saw that the lamp oil in the lamp was sufficient, and hurriedly lit the wick with a fire fold.
After the two oil lamps were lit, the space inside the stone gate suddenly lit up.
The three of them first looked at the situation in the stone room, and saw that the stone room was not large, and it was very empty, and there was no special furnishings, but there was a huge stone bed in the middle of the stone door, and three coffins were placed side by side on the stone bed, and the coffin head was facing the stone door. The coffins are all made of stone, connected with the stone bed, and the three sarcophagi and the stone bed should be hewn out of the same stone axe.
"This ...... This is the main burial chamber of the Cixi Mausoleum? The second master's eyes widened, and his face was full of disbelief.
"This shouldn't be the main burial chamber." Wu Zhiyuan looked at the three cold coffins and said softly, "It may be a burial room." ”
The big boss glanced at the three coffins on the stone bed one by one, and said coldly: "It's not enough for so many dead people to be buried outside, and a separate funeral room is actually built, Cixi's mother-in-law is really extravagant...... Speaking of the word "luxury", he suddenly paused and said in amazement, "This is the Imperial Mausoleum Underground Palace, is the furnishings of this burial room a little cold?" As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Wu Zhiyuan, wanting to get an answer from his mouth.
Wu Zhiyuan had entered the imperial tomb of Yan by mistake, and he had some understanding of the scale of the tomb of the imperial tomb, the Yan Dynasty built by Murong De was more than 1,000 years ago, although Wu Zhiyuan had not seen Murong De's real body in the tomb, but the scale of his mausoleum was personally experienced, and he couldn't help but be amazed. And the Empress Dowager Cixi has listened to the government three times, and has controlled the Manchu regime for nearly 50 years, and the respect of her identity is self-evident, how can the burial room of the mausoleum be so shabby?
After thinking about it for a while, Wu Zhiyuan had no intention of dwelling on this issue, because at this time he was more worried about the white-faced monster, so he didn't pay attention to the big boss's question.
This burial chamber is completely enclosed, and there are no other exits, so the white-faced monster must be in this burial chamber, but when you look around, you can't find any suspicious traces at all. Wu Zhiyuan was puzzled in his heart, and finally his eyes fell on the three coffins on the stone bed, could it be that the white-faced monster was in one of the sarcophagus?
Thinking of this, Wu Zhiyuan slowly walked towards the direction of the stone bed, and at the same time pulled out the Blood Shadow Demon Knife in his hand.
A slightly mocking laugh came from behind the second master: "I didn't expect this kid to be an anxious person, so anxious to get the artifact in the coffin." While speaking, he walked behind Wu Zhiyuan, patted Wu Zhiyuan on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Brother, don't worry, there must be a lot of treasures in these three coffins, everything we can't bring is yours, you can take it." ”
Wu Zhiyuan ignored him, leaned over, pressed his ear to the lid of the sarcophagus, and listened carefully, and couldn't help but be shocked.
He heard breathing inside the sarcophagus!
