Chapter 38: Inside the Coffin
"Holy!"
Hou Zifeng first paused, then scolded, and quickly wiped off the viscous liquid that had splashed on his face, and then stared at us with wide eyes.
"Why are you so unreliable, I can solve him alone, look at the good things you have done." The monkey method said angrily.
We all laughed at the look of his embarrassment, completely devoid of the previous nervousness.
"I think you're going to be inked, so I want to fix it as soon as possible." Zhang Huan's indifferent words directly made Hou Zifeng's face praise.
"Alright, let's get the key." I ninja smiled and looked at Hou Zifeng and said.
He bent down to pick up the key, and then walked slowly to our side, "If there is a treasure in there this time, I will come first." Walking in front of us, Hou Zifeng said proudly.
"If you come first, you will be first, who will we follow." I patted him on the shoulder and took the key he handed him.
Finally I found it, we all breathed a sigh of relief, and walked to the dragon coffin, I paused, and then inserted the key into the keyhole below, and twisted it gently.
There was a soft "click" sound, and the dragon coffin next to us made a sound.
"Click!" The lid of the coffin, which had been difficult to move before, opened on its own, moving from front to back until it reached the end of the coffin, and then stopped.
"This thing is designed to be quite high-tech, and it's still automatic." Xia Ziqiang watched the coffin lid move, and said something funny.
"Don't talk nonsense, look what's going on inside." Hou Zifeng slapped him on the back of the head and urged.
Xia Ziqiang looked at the inside of the dragon coffin with a dark face, and what surprised us all was that in this dragon coffin, there was no coffin, but in the middle of the coffin, there was a stone platform, and on top of the stone platform, there was a corpse.
This was completely unexpected by us, originally thought that there was a coffin in this coffin, but it was not until they opened it that they realized that the owner of this tomb was used as a coffin.
Looking at the dragon wooden coffin, in the center of the coffin is a stone platform that just put down a corpse, around the stone platform, there are four eye-colored gems, respectively, red, green, blue, gold, those gems are the size of a fist, we are a little dazzled, looking at the corpse on the stone platform, his face has a bronze mask, I can't see what it looks like, and on his body, there is a dress like a tulle, even if it has gone through thousands of years, There was still no sign of damage to the dress, as if it had been put on new.
The corpse's hands were crossed over his chest, and where he crossed his hands, there was an earthy yellow stone much larger than the other four, which looked a little rough, but when staring at the earthy yellow stone, it always gave people a very stable feeling.
The corpse lying on the stone platform, all the bare parts of the skin, was covered with a layer of gloves, and we could only see the appearance, as for what it looked inside, we could not see at all, whether it was rotten or intact.
"Something doesn't feel right." After staring at the corpse in the dragon coffin for a long time, Zhang Huanqing said in a low voice.
"What's wrong?" I looked at him suspiciously.
"Look at the clothes on this corpse, if it is really Xia Wei's tomb, then the person lying in this dragon coffin should be Xia Wei, you have seen the records about Xia Wei, with his personality and lifestyle, it is absolutely impossible to be willing to be buried like this after death, but the ancient corpse in front of him chose to be buried here very peacefully, it feels a little abnormal." He looked at us and explained earnestly.
I thought about it, it's true, Xia Wei is faint and cruel, likes beauty and power, is he really willing to be buried so plainly? Although there are a lot of funeral goods outside, the grade of those funeral goods, some of them and Xia Wei's status, after thinking about it, I also feel that something is wrong.
"Couldn't it be that he was lost?" Hou Zifeng said with some disapproval.
I glared at him, ignoring him, but looked inside the dragon coffin, carefully looking for the existence of the stone box that Nine Dragons had turned over. After a long time, I was disappointed that nothing was found inside the dragon's coffin, and we saw nothing of value other than those few gems.
"Look carefully, maybe there will be one on this corpse." Zhang Huanqing saw my loss, comforted me far-fetchedly, and then turned over and jumped into the dragon wooden coffin.
He took out a pair of gloves from his bag and put them on, then reached out and took off the bronze mask on the face of the ancient corpse, and the moment the mask fell, our eyes widened, and a bad feeling welled up from our psyche.
The ancient corpse did not rot, and it was well preserved, it still looked a little blessed, and the face did not feel pale at all, and after a moment of stunnedness, we all hesitated, and we didn't know whether to continue to do it in the end.
Only Zhang Huanqing, after seeing the face of the ancient corpse, had no other thoughts, but continued to touch other places, and after a period of groping, he took out a yellowed leather roll from the waist of the ancient corpse. He reached out and handed me the scroll, "Let's see if there are any useful clues on it." ”
After taking the scroll, I nodded, and slowly opened it, and there were some words written on it that I couldn't read, and the words were already blurry.
"I don't know, how do you see it." I reluctantly rolled the leather together, and then put it in the backpack to become popular, such a text, only go back to Professor Li, it is estimated that only he can understand the text on it.
Zhang Huanqing sighed, turned his head and continued to search for the ancient corpse, searching all the places, but finding nothing.
"I think we'd better leave, there's nothing of value left." Xia Ziqiang said with some fear.
Hou Zifeng shook his head, "No, we haven't found the key fragment yet, if we just leave, if we really find the tomb with the stone box at that time, what will we use to open it." ”
Hearing Hou Zifeng say this, I remembered, because I thought this was Xia Wei's tomb, so I forgot to find the key fragment.
"No, there's something strange about this outfit!"
