I'm afraid even Ye Zi didn't expect that he would die here.

Zhang Tianyi felt very uncomfortable, the tragic deaths of the people around him one after another seemed to be related to him, Ye Zi also said that he killed them, and the guilt was like a boulder pressing on his heart.

On the other side, Lin Fan looked at the coffins in the cave on the wall very curiously, maybe it was an occupational disease or out of curiosity about unknown things, he opened several coffins one after another, but without exception, the inside was empty.

Zhang Tianyi also wondered that something was wrong, the coffin nails were all sealed, but there was nothing in the coffin.

Wu Shengnan looked around, lowered his head as if thoughtfully, and then jumped into a cave, and Zhang Tianyi followed.

The cave here is not the same as the one in the White Fox's Den, which is a passage, and the cave here is just a hole, about the size of a coffin.

After Zhang Tianyi passed, he found that the coffin in this cave was different from the previous one, the previous coffin had a "longevity" character at the end, and the end of this coffin was actually carved with a pattern.

The pattern is pure black and looks like a monster with a snake head and a turtle body.

"Xuanwu?" Wu Shengnan was a little surprised.

Zhang Tianyi glanced at Wu Shengnan and asked her if she wanted to open it.

Wu Shengnan nodded, and Zhang Tianyi and Lin Fan had a while, which could be regarded as opening the coffin.

After opening it, Lin Fan hurriedly stretched out his head to look inside, and said with some hesitation: "...... Pig? ”

After speaking, Lin Fan directly touched it with his hand, raised his head and said, "It's fake, it seems to be carved from jade." ”

"Wait, it looks like there's something wrong with its eyes." Zhang Tianyi noticed that the eyes of the jade pig were not quite right.

Wu Shengnan took the incendiary stick and looked at it closely, and said, "The eyes are real." ”

Wu Shengnan set his eyes on the coffin in the opposite cave again, and then they came to the opposite cave, and the first thing Zhang Tianyi did was to check whether there was a carving at the end of the coffin.

"Sure enough." Zhang Tianyi found a firebird with wings spread at the end of the coffin, this firebird had three tails, as if it was colored with red fuel.

"This is Suzaku." Wu Shengnan stood up and turned his gaze to another place.

"This is? Sheep? Lin Fan said in a tone of not quite sure.

Zhang Tian looked over and found that it was a black and slimy thing inside, but if he looked closely, he could see the two horns on the top of its head.

"This sheep is made of carbon." Zhang Tian said as soon as he looked at the black ash in his hand.

Lin Fan touched it again and said, "The horn is real." ”

At this time, Wu Shengnan pointed to another place, Zhang Tianyi looked at the direction and found that the coffin containing the jade pig was in the east, and the place where he was now was in the west, and the place that Wu Shengnan pointed to was the north, and the south......

Zhang Tianyi ran to the south, and Wu Shengnan and Lin Fan went to the north.

The tail of the coffin on the south side is carved with a white tiger sitting with its tail crossed.

"This should be the White Tiger." Zhang Tianyi opened the coffin as he spoke, and found that it was an iron horse inside, and there was a lock of brown hair on the ponytail, which looked like it should be a horse's tail hair.

Ye Zi also opened the coffin there, and stood in the cave ** and shouted at Zhang Tianyi: "We have a woodcarved rooster here, and there are a few chicken feathers stuck in its tail." ”

"What's the pattern carved at the end of your coffin?" Zhang Tianyi asked.

"It's Qinglong!" Lin Fan replied.

What do you mean?!

Four different coffins in the four directions of east, west, north and south, carved with green dragons, white tigers, and vermilion birds, but the coffins are filled with jade pigs, carbon sheep, iron horses, and wooden chickens, but it seems that there is something missing......

Five houses?

Zhang Tianyi thought about it, there was still a middle and a middle in the southeast, northwest and northwest, but in the middle of this place was a pool and an altar, although there was also a coffin, but it contained a spirit fox.

"Middle, middle, middle......" Zhang Tianyi's body shook and shouted: "Above! ”

Lin Fan looked up, and it was so dark that he couldn't see anything clearly.

"Katsuo!" Lin Fan turned around and found that Wu Shengnan was suddenly gone!

"I'm here!" Wu Shengnan's voice came from above.

Wu Shengnan grabbed the vine and climbed up when he saw the wooden chicken, and the burning stick in her hand had been extinguished at this time, so Zhang Tianyi and Lin Fan didn't see it.

"What's going on above?" Zhang Tianyi found that he had missed a place, which looked exactly the same as the White Fox's Den on the surface, but there was one place that was different, and that was the top of the cave.

There is a vent on the roof of the White Fox's Cave, which is tightly covered whenever the blood moon appears, but there is nothing on the roof of the cave here, probably because it is too high and there is endless darkness on it.

"Lin Fan!" Zhang Tianyi shouted and pointed to the backpack behind him.

Lin Fan understood, took out a burning stick and threw it on.

After Wu Shengnan received it, he lit the burning stick, and the roof of the cave was brilliant with the firelight.

"There's a coffin on it too!" Lin Fan pointed and said.

Zhang Tianyi also found out, and at this time he almost had the answer in his heart, but everything could only be determined when he got the coffin down.

"Can you put it down?" Zhang Tian couldn't see it clearly, but he could only see that the coffin was hanging in the air by something.

"I'll give it a try!" Wu Shengnan said above.

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of gears turning from above, it should be Wu Shengnan who found the mechanism, and Zhang Tianyi only found out that the coffin was hung by several arm-thick chains.

Seeing the coffin slowly falling, Wu Shengnan came down from above.

"It's down!" As soon as Lin Fan finished speaking, the coffin fell straight on top of the iron-wood coffin.

This coffin, like the other four, is pure wood, but there is nothing carved at the end of this coffin.

"No, there is a carving, but not at the end, on the surface of the coffin." Wu Shengnan said.

Lin Fanzai looked at it carefully and said, "No? ”

"Katsuo is right, there is." Zhang Tianyi's fingers rubbed back and forth on the coffin lid and said: "This pattern is not painted, or it is originally pure wood color, because the traces of the carving are very shallow, so it cannot be seen by the naked eye, but you can still clearly feel the concave and convex feeling of the pattern when you touch it with your hands." ”

Lin Fan didn't believe it, so he went up and touched it back and forth like Zhang Tianyi, and then nodded and said, "Sure enough, but what will be carved on it?" ”

"Cow." Wu Shengnan said with great certainty.

Zhang Tianyi and Lin Fan glanced at each other, it doesn't matter what is carved on it now, what matters is what is contained in it.

"Turn it on!" Zhang Tianyi beckoned Lin Fan to come over and take a hand.

The two of them opened the coffin, and Lin Fan paused when he saw the things inside, and said, "This is the Terracotta Army?" ”

The coffin contained a person, but it was a clay sculpture, and the dress was relatively primitive, so that Lin Fan remembered the terracotta warriors and horses and said it.

Wu Shengnan leaned over and said, "It's not the Terracotta Army, it's people." ”

In this way, under the gaze of Zhang Tianyi and Lin Fan, Wu Shengnan used a dagger to cut a hole on the surface of the clay sculpture.

"It's really human!" Lin Fan peeled off the clay sculpture along the knife edge cut by Wu Shengnan, and then saw an arm exposed inside.

Seeing this, Zhang Tian directly took off all the clay sculptures outside.

Inside the clay sculpture is a corpse, a female corpse to be precise, her bronze skin makes her look extremely athletic, there are several oil paints on her face with some strange patterns, her clothes are embroidered with a spirit fox totem, and the jewelry on her neck and head looks like she has a history.

"It's been a long time coming." Lin Fan shook his head and said.

Zhang Tianyi looked at the female corpse in the clay sculpture, then looked at Wu Shengnan and asked, "Is she a Tumen walker?" ”

Wu Shengnan said: "It should be, the decoration on her body is the same as the one found in the Tumen tomb group unearthed in Sichuan that year." ”

"Then how did she get molded into clay?" Lin Fan asked puzzled.

"Because she represents the arch." Zhang Tianyi looked at Wu Shengnan and said, "Am I right?" ”

Wu Shengnan nodded: "That's right, she does represent Gongji." The Green Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, the Xuanwu, and this arch pole are for the five palaces. ”

"Chickens, sheep, cows, horses, and pigs represent the five animals." Zhang Tianyi continued.

Lin Fan thought for a moment and said: "The pattern colors at the end of the coffin, green, red, yellow, white, and black, represent five colors!" ”

"There are also five elements." Wu Shengnan said: "The wooden chicken belongs to the wood, the carbon sheep belongs to the fire, the ox belongs to the earth, the iron horse belongs to the gold, the jade pig belongs to the water, the five palaces and the five elements and the five colors and five animals, they are mutually reinforcing and complementing each other, this is the real spiritual fox to continue life!" ”

"This is the real spirit fox life? And what is the sacrifice that walks through the earthen gate?! Zhang Tianyi felt that things had reversed again.

If this is the real spirit fox to continue his life, then wouldn't the sacrifice of going to the earth gate be a disguise?

Zhang Tianyi was a little shocked, not to mention him, even Wu Shengnan couldn't believe that the secret technique that all beings had been trying to know was fake, and this lie was successfully concealed from the world!

Zhang Tianyi was thinking, if this secret was revealed, I don't know if those people in the outside world would collapse.

"It's time for us to go." Wu Shengnan said that there was nothing worth staying for their group at the moment.

"I hope I don't run into that thing again this time." Lin Fan looked at the pool with a palpitating look.

Last time, when he escaped from the pool in the white fox cave, he encountered a broken arm, and the broken arm moved freely in the water, although Zhang Tianyi finally found that it was the insects inside that controlled the action of the broken arm, but he did not tell Lin Fan, so that Lin Fan still has some shadows.

"What's that?" Wu Shengnan asked.

Zhang Tianyi took over the conversation and said with a smile: "Lin Fan said that I hope you can explain the matter of going to the Tumen clearly after you go out." ”

Wu Shengnan didn't even look at Zhang Tianyi, and walked directly to the pool by rubbing his shoulder.

Finally, Zhang Tianyi glanced back at the coffin containing the leaves.

His brother is buried here......
