Chapter 8: The Bronze Coffin
"What do we do now?" Seeing Teacher Feng's figure disappearing at the gate of the Yao family ancestral hall, Li Huiyan turned her head to me and asked, "I'm curious why he came to the Yao family ancestral hall, should we follow up and take a look?" ”
"Forget it, we still don't know the situation inside this ancestral hall, and it may be dangerous if you rush in. Let's wait for him to leave, and then let's go in. Anyway, it's already here, and it's not bad for a while, to be honest, I'm also curious about what it's like inside the Yao family ancestral hall. ”
Hearing Li Huiyan's inquiry, I thought about it, and finally shook my head and said.
In my opinion, Teacher Feng's sneaking to the ancestral hall in the middle of the night is definitely not a good thing. If Li Huiyan and I break in rashly, it is definitely not advisable, not to mention that he was still sharpening his knife in the room before, so he should be more careful, I don't want to die young, and I will be killed by someone for some reason.
"Well, let's wait for him to come out first." Hearing my answer, Li Huiyan thought for a moment and nodded.
After speaking, Li Huiyan and I found a bush closer to the Yao family's ancestral hall, but it was too inconspicuous to reveal our whereabouts.
Because the grass is not too big, Li Huiyan and I are almost close to each other at this time. Smelling the light fragrance emanating from Li Huiyan, who was close at hand, I felt a little uneasy, and I felt very uncomfortable all over.
"Bang ......"
After about ten minutes or so, there were suddenly several dull noises in the Yao family ancestral hall, as if something collided with each other, and even the ground under his feet could feel a slight shaking.
I was a little stunned and looked at the Yao family ancestral hall in disbelief.
At this moment, the door of the Yao family's ancestral hall was opened again, and a figure quickly rushed out of the ancestral hall, it was Teacher Feng who had just entered before.
In the moonlight, I saw that he looked a little embarrassed at the moment, and his left hand was holding his right hand tightly, as if he was not lightly injured.
Li Huiyan and I glanced at each other, and we both saw a trace of solemnity in each other's eyes, this Yao family ancestral hall seemed to be a little unsimple, and I couldn't help but regret my previous decision.
"Shall we go in again? There seems to be something strange in this ancestral hall. ”
When Teacher Feng's figure completely disappeared, I stood up and asked Li Huiyan again.
"Go, why don't you go, it's a big deal to escape immediately if you encounter any danger" To my surprise, Li Huiyan didn't seem to change her mind because of Teacher Feng's embarrassed departure before, and still said in a firm tone.
Seeing that Li Huiyan didn't mean to retreat, it was naturally impossible for me, as a big man, not to go, so I had to take the lead and walk towards the gate of the Yao family ancestral hall.
"You walk behind me in a moment, and if there is any danger, you will leave immediately."
Walking to the gate of the ancestral hall, I once again said to Li Huiyan with a solemn expression.
"Don't worry, as long as we don't mess with the things in the ancestral hall, it should be fine. I guess Mr. Feng wanted to take something from the ancestral hall before, and he was injured because he touched the mechanism in the ancestral hall. Li Huiyan said.
Pushing open the door of the ancestral hall, it was a little different from what I imagined, the inside of the ancestral hall was not pitch black, and the huge white candles with the thickness of two arms emitted a faint light.
"Wait a minute." As soon as I was about to step into the ancestral hall, Li Huiyan stopped me.
Then she ran not far away to find a few stones, and when she came to the door, she threw them through the gap I had opened.
As soon as the stones landed, a series of arrows were heard in the ancestral hall.
"Thank you, if it weren't for you, I guess I would have been shot into a sieve by those bows and arrows by now."
Hearing the voice in the ancestral hall, I immediately broke out in a cold sweat behind my back, glanced at Li Huiyan with great gratitude, and at the same time cursed fiercely in my heart for the people who built this Yao family ancestral hall.
If it weren't for Li Huiyan's delicate thinking, I'm afraid that I would have become a hedgehog with a bow and arrows inserted by now.
"It's nothing, in fact, many old buildings have all kinds of mechanisms in them. Just now when I saw that the door of the Yao family ancestral hall was not locked, I already felt that something was wrong, and this time it was just a blind cat encountering a dead mouse. Li Huiyan's expression was a little solemn, and then said: "I'm afraid that the dangers we will encounter next are more than that. ”
Hearing this, I couldn't help but glance at Li Huiyan, and the beautiful female classmate in front of me seemed to be even more incomprehensible.
In the end, I still had the courage to take the lead in the ancestral hall.
To my surprise, the huge ancestral hall was empty.
I originally thought that there would be something good in the ancestral hall that Teacher Feng could think about most of the night, but when I looked at it, except for a shrine enshrined in the middle of the ancestral hall and a huge bronze coffin that was at least five or six meters long and two meters high, there was nothing in the ancestral hall.
"Could it be that Teacher Feng came to the ancestral hall in the middle of the night just for this bronze coffin?" Seeing that the ancestral hall was empty, I couldn't help but be a little surprised, and said to Li Huiyan.
"You're right, but he's not for the coffin, but for what's inside." Li Huiyan stared at the bronze coffin for a moment and said slowly.
The next moment, my eyes fell on the shrine behind the bronze coffin.
I saw that the shrine was divided into two layers, and the second layer placed a spiritual wooden plaque, which read "The spiritual position of the ancestors and ancestors of the Yao family", and the top layer also seemed to have a spiritual position, but it was completely covered by a black cloth.
Just for a glance, you shouldn't be blamed, right? I thought to myself.
The strange arrangement of the shrine made me curious about the spiritual position on the first floor of the shrine that was hidden by a black cloth.
What kind of person's spiritual position is it, in this Yao family ancestral hall that is obviously used to worship the ancestors of the Yao family, the status can still suppress the ancestors of the Yao family.
"Be careful!" Li Huiyan obviously guessed my mind and whispered.
I nodded, suddenly feeling a little nervous.
Skirting the huge bronze coffin in front of me, I tiptoed a few steps towards the location of the shrine, and found that the sturdy stone slabs under my feet were all very strong, and there was nothing in the hidden weapon, so I gradually breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that there was no danger, and when I finally reached the shrine without danger, the boulder hanging in my heart finally landed.
"Let me see who is enshrined on this spiritual seat!"
Looking up at the shrine, which was at least two heads taller than me, the secret under the black cloth was finally about to be revealed by my own hands, and my heart was beating faster before I came.
It shouldn't be dangerous, I comforted myself from the bottom of my heart, and finally reached out to the black cloth.
Hiss......
The black cloth covering the spiritual seat was easily uncovered by me, and although I had already had some guesses in my heart, I couldn't help but gasp when I saw the name written on the spiritual tablet under the black cloth.
The spiritual seat of the First Emperor of the Great Qin!
"The spiritual seat of the Great Qin Shi Huang, how can the ancestral ancestral hall of the Yao family enshrine the spiritual seat of the First Emperor of Qin?"
I don't know when, Li Huiyan came behind me, and when she saw the words engraved on the spiritual table, she couldn't help but gasp, and said in an extremely shocked tone.
I don't know how to answer, although Li Huiyan said before that this Yao family ancestral hall is very similar to the main hall of Xianyang Palace, and I have also had all kinds of speculations about Yaojia Village in my heart, but when the words "Great Qin Shi Huang's Spirit Seat" on the spiritual seat appeared in front of me at this moment, it still made people a little speechless.
Carefully closing the black cloth to the spiritual seat, my gaze fell on the bronze coffin in front of the shrine.
The shrine enshrines the tablet of Qin Shi Huang, could it be that this bronze coffin contains Qin Shi Huang himself?
The old man also said before that there was no dragon qi in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang in Lishan, and Qin Shi Huang's body was not buried there at all.
Still, I was taken aback by this bold idea in my heart, if the bronze coffin in front of me really contained the reign of Qin Shi Huang, it would be too incredible.
I told Li Huiyan about my bold idea, but Li Huiyan shook her head and said, "Impossible, Qin Shi Huang is the king of a country, and his body cannot be placed in such a place anyway." ”
"If it's not Qin Shi Huang, then who is in this bronze coffin?" I couldn't help but wonder.
"Perhaps...... There is nothing in this coffin, it is empty, or there is something more important than the spiritual seat of Qin Shi Huang, I guess that Mr. Feng came to the ancestral hall before, it should be something in the coffin. Li Huiyan said.
"You're right!" I was just about to speak, but a strange man's gloomy voice suddenly came from behind Li Huiyan.
The sudden sound startled me and Li Huiyan at the same time, and I instantly reacted and pulled Li Huiyan over, subconsciously protecting her.
It was only then that I could see the face of the man in front of me. The face of melon seeds with a clear outline like a knife cut, the eye sockets are much deeper than those of ordinary people, the cheeks have a messy beard about half an inch long, and the hair is unkempt as if it has not been tidied for many days.
After looking up and down at this decadent-looking man a few times, I immediately recognized that this strange man was Teacher Feng who had gone and returned before.
Since Li Huiyan and I were attracted to the shrine and the bronze coffin after entering the Yao family ancestral hall, and the light in the ancestral hall was so dim that we didn't even notice that someone sneaked in through the doorway.
It seems that it is still too careless! I was a little annoyed that I should have paid attention to the movement at the gate if I had known.
Because I saw Mr. Feng injured and left before, I took it a little lightly and took it for granted that it was impossible for him to go and return.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you, as long as you do me a favor."
Teacher Feng grinned, and with an extra dagger of five or six inches in his hand, he pointed to the bronze coffin and said.
"You want us to open this coffin for you?" I immediately guessed his intentions.
