Chapter 278: Snake and Rat Battle

"Octagon coffin? It's a strange name, but it's the first time I've heard of it. I said. Not only was I puzzled, but everyone else also looked at Li Huiyan with curiosity, obviously not knowing what this octagonal coffin was.

Although I am an archaeology student myself, I actually know too little about the things in ancient tombs, and I spend most of my time studying things in books, and I can really use very little.

"Most coffins throughout the ages have six sides, up and down, left and right, front and back. The Bafang coffin is different, as you can see, the bottom of the Bafang coffin is not a right angle, but there are two more inclined planes, which looks like a ship. Hearing this, Li Huiyan said slowly.

"Then what's the use of this octagonal coffin, is it just a special shape?" I asked.

"Of course, it's not just that the shape is so simple, the Bafang coffin has its special meaning, and the reason why it is made into this boat-like shape is to cross the soul." Li Huiyan said.

"Crossing the soul? It's funny, but it's unheard of. I said. The bronze coffin we saw in another burial chamber earlier had the appearance of a box, which was enough to make me curious.

But compared with the bronze coffin, the boat-like golden silk nanmu coffin in front of me makes me more curious, how can a coffin be used to cross the soul?

"I don't know if the Octagon Coffin can really cross the soul, but it is certain that the ancients thought so when they made the Octagon Coffin. Under normal circumstances, octagonal coffins like this are used to cross the souls of children who are less than ten years old. Because the ancients were worried that the child would be too young to cross the Lechuan River after death, the coffin was deliberately made in the shape of a boat. Li Huiyan said.

"Sister Lizi, are you saying that a child is buried in this coffin?" Xiao Yue stepped forward and asked.

I rolled my eyes, I should be able to guess this kind of thing without asking. Just looking at the size of this golden silk nanmu museum, the usable length is about one meter two at most, and it is difficult to bury adults if it is not used to bury children.

"Yes, the ancients made the coffin into a boat-like shape, hoping that the soul of a child could cross the Lechuan River in a coffin like a boat, so that they could be reincarnated smoothly." Li Huiyan said.

"I didn't expect the Octagon Coffin to be of such use, but it's the first time I've heard of it. However, reincarnation is such an ethereal thing, and where can it be taken seriously, it is just a comfort for the soul. I said.

At the same time, there is still a word in my heart that is not spoken. Since these parents are ruthless in letting their children be martyred, it is a bit funny to make such a pair of octagonal coffins, if they are really good to their children, how can they be willing to let him be martyred for others.

"Well, whether the Bafang coffin is really useful or not, no one knows. But one thing we can be sure of is that the person buried in this eight-sided coffin is definitely a child. Li Huiyan said.

"It's pathetic." I said with some emotion. I can't help but think of Yao Ling'er, who hasn't appeared for a long time, the fate of the child in this octagonal coffin is somewhat similar to Yao Ling'er, maybe the two of them can be friends when they meet.

Throwing these strange thoughts out of my mind, my eyes fell on the octagonal coffin again.

From just now, I have discovered a strange phenomenon, a trace of black mist has begun to rise in the gap of the coffin lid of this octagonal coffin.

Not only that, but at the same time as these black mist appeared, I felt as if the temperature around me had dropped by more than ten degrees all at once, and I couldn't help but shiver all over.

Originally, everyone who was still looking forward to opening the lid of the coffin all changed their faces at this moment, even the most stupid people knew that this octagonal coffin was strange, and it would be dangerous if they opened it rashly.

Seeing this scene, I immediately thought of the golden silk nanmu coffin in the second ancient tomb. At the beginning, after Qin Gong took away the bronze mirror, a similar scene also appeared in the golden silk nan wooden coffin, and then the corpse in the coffin underwent a corpse transformation.

"Sister Lizi, ...... again It's going to be a corpse again! Xiao Yue said. Hearing this, Li Huiyan put the seal of King Chen in her hand back on the lid of the coffin again without saying a word.

What is incredible is that as soon as Chen Wang Yinxi touched the lid of the coffin, the black mist seeping out of the cracks in the lid of the Bafang coffin disappeared in an instant, as if nothing had happened just now.

"It seems that this octagonal coffin is really weird, otherwise we should seal the lid of the ghost-faced white jade coffin." I said.

When I opened the ghost-faced white jade coffin and saw the small octagonal coffin inside, I still had some difficulty understanding, why it was only a child who was buried, but the owner of the tomb still used the soul stone to calm the coffin underneath, could it be that the children in the octagonal coffin were very dangerous.

What is even more incomprehensible is that it is not enough to use a soul suppression stone, and the owner of the tomb specially carved a seal to press on the lid of the coffin, and the degree of precaution is completely beyond imagination.

But after seeing the black mist just now, he instantly understood what the tomb owner was worried about.

It can be seen that even after more than a thousand years, the one in the Bafang coffin has not stopped at all, and the resentment before death has not dissipated at all.

"Well, we're in a worrying situation now, this octagonal coffin always makes people a little uneasy, it's better not to take risks." Li Huiyan nodded and said.

Perhaps he was frightened by the scene just now, and even Xiao Yue, who had been shouting to see if there was a golden jade cloth in the Bafang coffin, was honestly silent at the moment, as if he had completely forgotten about it.

However, things did not develop as we expected, and not long after Li Huiyan put Chen Wangyin's seal back, the octagonal coffin, which had already returned to calm, changed again.

Bang bang bang...... I only heard a beating sound from inside the Bafang coffin. At first, the slapping sound was very soft, and it sounded a little weak, but as time went by, the slapping sound from the Bafang coffin became more and more intense, and even the entire Bafang coffin began to shake slightly.

Not only that, but soon after the sound of slapping came out, a series of children's terrible cries came from inside the Bafang coffin, as if a child was locked inside.

Hearing the movement inside the Bafang coffin, everyone's faces instantly became ugly. We have already made a guess before, and we know that there is a child's body in the coffin nine times out of ten.

But now there is a strange slapping sound in the Bafang coffin, and there is even the cry of a child, which has to make us think about the bad place.

"I don't know if it's the little brother or the little sister in the coffin, you have a lot of adults, and my friends and I have no intention of disturbing your purity. You've been dead for more than a thousand years, so it's better to rest in peace as soon as possible, and let go of what you should put down. I shook it three times in front of the Bafang coffin and whispered in my mouth.

"Rice cakes, you're not right. This person has been dead for more than a thousand years, and he is older than your eighteenth generation ancestors, how can he be a little brother and sister. Xiao Yue said.

"It's just your mouth." I glared at Xiao Yue and said angrily. It's all like this, Xiao Yue still has the heart to correct these irrelevant titles, and I really don't know how her head grows.

"Sister Lizi, look at the rice cake and he murders me." Xiao Yue immediately ran to Li Huiyan with a face full of grievances to complain.

"Just say a few words, it doesn't matter what you call it, the most important thing is sincerity. And pray with all your heart, lest the one in the eight-sided coffin come to you to settle accounts. Li Huiyan said helplessly.

"Why should I pray, I didn't provoke him." Xiao Yue said a little unhappily.

"The dead are great, and if you pray, you won't suffer. You didn't touch the golden jade robe on the lid of the jade coffin just now, maybe it was the thing in the coffin, if you don't pray sincerely, beware of him looking for you to settle accounts. Li Huiyan said.

Li Huiyan's words did not scare Xiao Yue, but instead frightened Dong Shuang on the side, and hurriedly walked to the coffin with his hands folded, and bowed seriously.

Even if she was still unhappy in her heart, Xiao Yue was not stubborn, maybe it was Li Huiyan's words just now that frightened her, so she honestly walked to the coffin and bowed.

I don't know if it's a mental effect, but after everyone bowed one after another, I felt that the slapping and crying in the Bafang coffin were a little quieter than before, and the cold atmosphere in the tomb had also warmed up a lot.

"Let's close the lid of the coffin quickly, this seal of King Chen alone can't suppress the one in the Bafang coffin, and there must be a merit tablet." Li Huiyan said.

In fact, there is no need for Li Huiyan to remind you, Qin Gong and I have already lifted the lid of the ghost-faced white jade coffin on the side after bowing, ready to cover the coffin lid at any time.

Perhaps I felt that something was wrong, Dong Dan and I carried the lid of the coffin and didn't get close to the coffin, when we first heard the slapping sound coming from the Bafang coffin becoming violent again, and at the same time, the terrible cry from the Bafang coffin also became extremely harsh.

What was even more frightening was that the coffin lid that Dong Dan and I were carrying in our hands suddenly became unusually heavy.

Originally, although the lid of the ghost-faced white jade coffin was heavy in the hand, it was not so hard that people felt tired.

But now, there seem to be several people sitting on the lid of the coffin, which makes it difficult to lift it up.

Not only that, but when Dong Shan and I gritted our teeth and carried the lid of the coffin and prepared to walk towards the coffin, there seemed to be an invisible wall in front of us, and no matter how we walked, we couldn't take another half step forward.

"Zhang Sansan, what's wrong with you?" Li Huiyan quickly noticed that something was wrong and asked out loud.

"The lid is so heavy that we can't lift it." I replied weakly. Although the air around me was very cold at this time, my forehead and back were constantly oozing with sweat, and if I hadn't gritted my teeth and insisted, I guess the coffin lid would have come out of my hand and fallen to the ground.

Hearing this, Li Huiyan ran over quickly and held the side of the coffin lid with both hands. Soon, Li Huiyan's face also became ugly, and beads of sweat began to ooze from her forehead, obviously feeling that the current coffin lid was a little strange.
