Chapter 21: The Coffin

"Are you looking for death? If you want to die, don't die in front of my fat man" The fat man pulled me out of the water and pulled me by the collar and said angrily, but at the same time, he pressed my chest back and forth with both hands to help me adjust my breathing, my upper body bounced up at once, and then spit out several mouthfuls of water from my mouth one after another.

I endured the discomfort and opened my eyes to look at the fat man, "Thank you, fat man", the first time I saw the fat man so anxious since I went to the tomb, in fact, to be honest, if it wasn't for the fat man pulling me, I guess I really couldn't get up, the tomb on the right side is extremely long, and both sides are twisted and protruding stones, so I have long thought in my heart at this moment that the fat man is a brother I have settled, and the so-called adversity sees the truth.

"You kid is stupid, you almost died and you can grin, if you are so impulsive again, I will definitely ignore you next time, fat man" The fat man said and stretched out a hand to pull me up from the ground, "Okay, let's two big men don't pity each other here, hurry up and find the exit, fat man, I don't want to hang here" said and walked straight forward.

I wrung the water out of my clothes, followed the fat man, and smiled wryly, ready for the worst. If I misjudged and didn't go up the river to the tomb on the right side, but the situation at that time didn't allow me to think about it at all, and the second uncle didn't know where they went, and the fat man and I only had simple tools, and if there was any danger in front of us, we couldn't deal with it at all, and the fat man was directly affected by me because of my impulse, but if I really got to that step in the end, I would definitely protect the fat man first, and let the fat man leave safely, just like what I said to me left and right at the beginning.

The fat man took out his flashlight and walked cautiously forward, the tomb was getting darker and darker, and I kept touching the pistol pinned to my belt, for fear of encountering some monster. At this time, the top of the tomb suddenly fell gravel, a stone the size of a sea bowl smashed directly on the fat man's shoulder, the gravity of the gravel fell to hit the fat man covered his shoulders and squatted on the ground trembling, I hurriedly stepped forward to support the fat man, dragged him carefully to the wall and moved forward step by step, the tomb was about fifteen meters long, I and the fat man walked little by little, clinging to the wall to constantly observe the surrounding of the tomb.

A few steps further, the two of us saw what looked like the outline of something, but if you looked closely, it seemed that there was not just one silhouette, but a group of silhouettes swinging back and forth, which was very strange. Just thinking about it, the soles of my feet suddenly felt cold, and the fat man exclaimed, "No, what's the matter, there is actually water in this tomb" The water level continued to rise in the gap between me and the fat man, and after a while, it reached our knees.

The fat man didn't care about the injury of his shoulder, he spread his legs and ran forward, only to see that there were several wire ropes hanging down and climbing up at the end of the tomb, it turned out that the shadow that we just saw swaying back and forth was it, I looked at it, this must have been someone who had climbed out from here, so I hurriedly topped the fat man below, let the fat man step on the stone protruding from the wall and climb up, the fat man immediately turned his head and stretched out his hand to drag me after going up, at this time the top of the tomb has begun to fall large pieces of rubble, the water is also quickly overflowing, the fat cat crawls on it, I don't know what the purpose of this little hole is, it's black, and I can barely accommodate a person to move around the left and right, and it's okay to be long before and after, but fortunately I can feel the wind blowing, or I really think that I and the fat man can't climb out of this hole at this speed.

I don't know how long I climbed, but the fat man called out to "There is light" and suddenly increased his speed, so I followed the fat man and kept crawling forward, and then jumped directly from the high platform at the entrance of the cave to a flat ground. I jumped down and finally breathed a sigh of relief, it was an open space again, this tomb was like a labyrinth, there were mezzanine and corridors everywhere, I carefully observed the surroundings of this open space, except for a coffin in the middle of the tomb, there was nothing else. The fat man carefully moved towards the coffin, wanting to see what it was, a few steps away from the coffin, he suddenly stopped, I said to myself what the fat man was doing again, so I followed, and when I walked to the position next to the fat man, I couldn't help but stop.

I can't believe everything in front of me, this coffin has long been without a lid, and there is a man's body lying inside, the man lying in a hooded robe, with a scarf, round neck and narrow sleeves, under the robe is a horizontal shirt, I have seen such a dress by chance in my father's book, like the Tang Dynasty period of clothing, the man body is mostly yellow, I know, before the Tang Dynasty, yellow can be used for most of the general, but after the Tang Dynasty, Tang Gaozong Li Zhi thought that red yellow is similar to the color of the sun, the sun is a symbol of the emperor's throne, "there are no two days in the sky, There are no two kings in the country. "Therefore, except for the emperor, the subjects of Chihuang (ochre yellow) are not allowed to usurp it, so it is speculated that this may be the coffin of the relatives of the emperor in the Tang Dynasty, but why it is scattered here, I don't know.

Actually, this is not enough to surprise me and the fat man, the reason why we are really surprised and dare not approach is that the man lying in the coffin has a beautiful and ruddy face, and the body is not rotten at all, as if this person is not dead but just sleeping, and the next second he can jump out of the coffin and move freely.

In addition to wearing a set of clothes, the man also put a set of chain mail next to him, and this chain mail was originally a kind of metal armor used in ancient wars, most of which were worn by military generals, and the man in this coffin was white and tender, with slender limbs, obviously not a person who practiced martial arts, and if there was a royal relative lying in the coffin, what was the use of this armor. "Tang Liudian" recorded that there are a total of 13 kinds of Tang armor, namely Mingguang armor, Guangxi armor, fine scale armor, mountain armor, black hammer armor, white cloth armor, soap silk armor, cloth back armor, infantry armor, leather armor, wooden armor, chain mail, and horse armor, and this chain mail is one of the most commonly used and strongest defensive weapons. In fact, the chain mail is the ring lock armor in Cao Zhi's table, and the "Book of Jin Lü Guang Biography" once recorded that when the former Qin Lü Guang attacked Qiuzi City, he saw that the armor of the Western Regions was like a chain and could not be shot, and the Western Regions Kang State paid tribute to the Central Plains court in the Sui and Tang dynasties.

I glanced at the fat man, the fat man was still standing in place and did not move, his eyes were blank looking at the man in the coffin, I thought, it's bad, is this fat man evil again, this time I don't have any fruit powder or quicklime, I called the fat man several times The fat man still didn't move, I couldn't pat the fat man on the shoulder, maybe it happened to be slapped on the injured part of the fat man, the fat man came back to his senses, returned to the usual state of hippie smile, while covering the wound while scolding at me, "Scared me to death, you kid is going to die, What the hell are you doing on my wounds?"

I was relieved when I saw that the fat man was not evil, and asked, "Fatty, what were you thinking just now, I called you several times and you didn't move, I thought you were evil again?"

"Why are you so evil" The fat man turned his head and said, "However, it's not me who is evil, it's him" said and pointed to the head of the man in the coffin, to be honest, I didn't pay attention to the head of the corpse just now, plus there was a shadow in the direction where I was standing just now, and I couldn't see it clearly at the root, but at this moment I looked in the direction of the fat man's finger and saw a face exactly like mine.
