Under the bottom of the coffin is a stone slab!

Through the smashed bottom of the coffin, the size of the stone slab below could not be seen, and because there were three sets of coffins on the stone slab, it was not easy to lift the stone slab.

Wu Zhiyuan finally decided to repeat the old trick and use the method of smashing the bottom plate of the coffin to directly smash the stone slab with a pickaxe.

"Bang bang!" The sound of the pickaxe hitting the stone slab broke the dead silence of the moonlit night, and sparks flew in all directions, like a flash in the pan, and disappeared into the silver moonlight in an instant.

"Evil Sect!" Wu Zhiyuan looked at the slate in astonishment, and smashed it down with a few pickaxes, but the slate was not damaged at all.

"Big brother, could it be that the slate is too thick?" Du Yuesheng guessed that he hadn't personally smashed the pickaxe a few times, because he knew very well that he was far less powerful than Wu Zhiyuan.

Wu Zhiyuan was noncommittal, took a deep breath, picked up the pickaxe and smashed it again, but the result was still the same.

"The slate can't be broken, and it can't be opened, what should I do?" Wu Zhiyuan panted and looked at the stubborn slate.

"We can go around the stone slab and dig under the slate, although we have taken a long detour, but we can also dig into the coffin under the stone slab!" Du Yuesheng had a flexible brain, and he came up with a solution as soon as he had an idea.

Wu Zhiyuan also thinks that there is only one way. Things have come to this point, and the two of them are not only worried about digging treasures, but also have a strong curiosity about the coffin under the stone slab. The two of them did what they said, one digging the soil and the other removing the mud, and kept digging out along the edge of the coffin to find the end of the stone slab.

"Found it!" Du Yuesheng shouted in surprise, "The end of the slate is here!" ”

Wu Zhiyuan saw that the edge of the slate was more than a meter away from the coffin, and it seemed that the slate was estimated to be several times larger than the area of the coffin above, and its thickness was more than 30 centimeters.

It is conceivable that when the burial was carried out, the tomb should have been dug up, put into the coffin that really held the corpse, and then spread the stone slab, and then put three sets of empty coffins to cover people's ears and eyes. Such a cumbersome and unconventional anti-tomb method is really unheard of, and it is conceivable that there must be valuable burial goods in the coffin of the tomb owner.

Wu Zhiyuan and Du Yuesheng cheered up and began to dig along the edge of the slate.

The moon was sinking in the west, and there were few morning stars in the sky, and the faint starlight had been drowned out by the white belly of the fish in the east. Before they knew it, the two of them were busy all night, and the sky was bright.

Du Yuesheng dug the soil along the edge of the slate, and after digging to a certain depth, he then dug inward along the bottom of the slate, because the tomb must be directly below the slate, which is beyond doubt.

Seeing that Du Yuesheng had already planed along the slate into a considerable depth, Wu Zhiyuan took the shovel and pushed it hard, and with a "bang", a small hole appeared in the hollowed-out soil under the slate, and the soil was topped by the shovel and fell into the hole. Judging by the sound of dirt falling to the ground, the hole should be underneath.

Wu Zhiyuan and Du Yuesheng glanced at each other, both of them saw surprise and joy in each other's eyes, and the hard work of the night finally came to fruition.

Wu Zhiyuan pushed the shovel sharply, and the soil fell into the hole, making a "bang" echo, and the hole became bigger and bigger.

The earth reverberates when it hits the ground, which means that it is not a tomb below, but a burial chamber! Du Yuesheng guessed in his heart and couldn't help but move. When the entrance of the cave could accommodate one person to pass through, Du Yuesheng couldn't wait to slide down the hole into the hole.

Hearing only the sound of "ouch", Du Yuesheng fell into the cave and let out a miserable scream.

"Yuesheng, what's wrong?" Wu Zhiyuan heard the voice and shouted at the entrance of the cave.

"Ouch, it hurts me. Big brother, don't come down yet! Du Yuesheng responded in the cave, and every sentence had a clear echo, and Wu Zhiyuan judged that this tomb should not be small.

Du Yuesheng was heart-wrenched, there was a reason why he didn't let Wu Zhiyuan enter the cave for the time being, first, he fell from the hole and fell his buttocks, it can be concluded that this tomb is very deep, Wu Zhiyuan rashly came down, and he was likely to fall and be injured, second, although the sky outside was slightly bright, but the tomb was pitch black, he had just entered the tomb, and he had not yet explored the situation in the tomb.

Wu Zhiyuan waited anxiously at the entrance of the tomb, his eyes fixed on the situation inside the cave, although he couldn't see anything clearly. After a while, Wu Zhiyuan heard the sound of striking matches from the tomb, and then, there was candlelight dancing inside.

With the tomb robbery plan, Du Yuesheng began to prepare, he is a flexible and shrewd person, and he has already thought about what may be used in every step, so the candles and foreign fires have long been prepared on his body.

"Come down! Slow down, I'll catch you right here. Du Yuesheng stood below and shouted.

Wu Zhiyuan also slid down the hole, but with one foot in the air, he fell vertically, but fortunately, Du Yuesheng stopped him below, relieving a lot of the momentum towards the lu.

"You're fine, are you?" After standing still, Wu Zhiyuan asked Du Yuesheng with concern.

"It's fine, it's just a butt fall." Du Yuesheng picked up the lit candle from the ground and shone it around.

Only then did the two of them vaguely see the layout of the tomb, the huge tomb was empty, and only a sarcophagus was placed against the wall in the easternmost part.

The sarcophagus for burial is a burial custom that prevails in the Qiangyi Tibetan people and some southwestern regions, which is rarely seen in northern funerals, but what surprised Wu Zhiyuan and Du Yuesheng even more was that the sarcophagus in front of them was close to the wall and hung in the air.

The two looked at each other and slowly approached the sarcophagus, only to see a few wooden stakes nailed to the wall, and the sarcophagus happened to be on the stakes protruding from the wall, so it was hanging in the air.

"Is this a hanging coffin? How can there be a hanging coffin here? Wu Zhiyuan was puzzled, he followed the barefoot doctor fifth uncle in the village to read the private school when he saw the relevant records about the hanging coffin, generally only in Yunnan, Fujian and other places have hanging coffins, but all are ancient things, modern people have no custom of hanging coffin burial, as for why the ancient people used the hanging coffin burial style, there is no detailed explanation in the book.

"Hanging coffin?" Du Yuesheng echoed casually, placing the coffin in such a way was really unheard of before.

"Well, this is the hanging coffin, I read about it in the book before, I didn't expect there to be a hanging coffin here, it's really strange." Wu Zhiyuan circled around the hanging coffin, half a circle to be exact, because one of the hanging sarcophagi was close to the wall.

"Whatever, we only take the valuable things in the coffin, and the rest has nothing to do with us." Du Yuesheng was very purposeful, and he did not consider that the placement of the coffin might have a special purpose.

Du Yuesheng said just do it, put the candle on the ground, and walked straight to the sarcophagus. The sarcophagus hung in mid-air, and the height was exactly the same as Du Yuesheng's eyes. Because of the height, Du Yuesheng wanted to open the sarcophagus but couldn't use force at all, so he could only lie on the coffin lid with both hands and jump high to check the situation on the coffin lid.

"Boom!" Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the wooden stakes on the wall were broken, and the hanging sarcophagus suddenly fell to the ground and fell in front of Du Yuesheng.

This sudden change actually frightened Du Yuesheng, and his mouth opened wide and froze in place.
