As soon as the candle went out, I instinctively felt a chill on my body, but I immediately reminded myself: "This is a normal physical phenomenon, the candle burns to the end, there is nothing to be afraid of, if the candle burns to the end and is still on, then there is a real ghost." ”

At this time, I only heard a "coo" behind me, and the fat man and I thought there was a situation behind us, so we hurriedly opened the frame and looked back, but saw the big gold tooth looking at the extinguished candle and sitting on the ground, so frightened that his face was colorless.

This is to blame when the fat man bragged to him, adding oil and vinegar to depict the "ghost blowing the lamp" like a nightmare, the big gold tooth is just a profiteer, has not experienced any tests, at this time, in this gloomy underground palace, suddenly saw the candle extinguished, how he was not afraid, only frightened into a ball.

I stuck the paratrooper knife in my hand into my waist, reached out and pulled the big gold tooth up, and comforted him: "What's wrong with you, Jin Ye?" It's okay, isn't it me and the fat man, with the two of us here, you can't be afraid of it. ”

Seeing that there was no unusual movement in front of him except for the candle burning to the end and extinguishing, the big golden tooth sighed: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed...... I'm not...... Scared, I remembered...... My family still relies on me to feed alone, so I'm a little ...... That ......"

I waved my hand at the big gold tooth, now was not the time to speak, and lit a candle again on the ground, and the three of them took a few steps forward, this time the "man" in the southeast corner had entered the illumination range of our wolf's eye flashlight.

It turned out that the person who stood in the southeast corner of the temple through the candle was not a person at all, but there was indeed a face, and it was also a human face, and unexpectedly it was a statue carved out of stone.

The stone face is carved in relief on a huge stone coffin, this stone coffin is so huge, I dare to swear, when we first got into the temple from the thief hole, the temple was empty, there was absolutely no such big stone coffin, it was the same as the stone wall that sealed the thief hole, as if it had suddenly appeared out of the air.

The fat man and I, as well as the big gold tooth behind me, saw that there was suddenly a huge stone coffin in the temple, and we were all confused, and we took a few steps forward and approached the stone coffin to investigate.

This stone coffin is about 3.5 meters long, 1.7 meters high, the whole body is made of big stones, except for the bottom of the stone coffin, the rest of the surrounding and the coffin cover, are supported by a huge human face, the whole stone coffin is a kind of gray, giving people a dignified look.

This human face seems to be the decoration on the stone coffin, carved with five distinct views, no different from ordinary people, but the ears are slightly larger, the eyes are level, there is no expression on the face, although it is only a stone carved human face, but it gives people a grotesque and cold feeling.

At the beginning of the passage between the Hades Temple and the front hall, we saw this stone face through the candle from a distance, and the candlelight was in a trance, and we did not see that it was a human face carved in stone, nor did we see this big stone coffin in the dark.

At this moment, I can see it clearly, but I feel that the human face on this stone coffin is far more terrifying than any ghost, zombie or other face, because we are mentally prepared for those things, but we didn't expect such a thing to emerge anyway.

The fat man said to me, "Old Hu, what the is this?" I think this craft seems to have been around for many years, but can it be refined? Otherwise, how can it suddenly appear on the ground, to say that we have misremembered the pattern on the mural, it is still possible, but such a big stone, we just came in and looked at this temple more carefully, but Leng didn't see it, isn't that a living ghost? ”

I said to the fat man, "Don't talk nonsense, this seems to be a coffin with a coffin, this ancient tomb is really full of strange things, and I don't know where it came from." I asked the big gold tooth behind me again: "Master Jin, you are well-informed, can you see the fame of this stone coffin?" ”

The big golden tooth that had been hiding behind me and the fat man said: "Master Hu, I think this stone coffin is from the Shang and Zhou dynasties. As he spoke, he shone his wolf eyes at the bottom of the stone coffin and said: "You see that there are still cloud and thunder patterns in the Western Zhou Dynasty on this, I dare to vouch for my head that there is no such thing in the Tang Dynasty." ”

Although I have been in the antique business for a while, I have been making some things from the Ming and Qing dynasties, and I have not had much contact with things before the Tang Dynasty, and I have never seen things from the Yin Shang and Western Zhou dynasties.

Hearing the big golden tooth say that this stone coffin is from the Western Zhou Dynasty, I think this is even more strange, and said to the big golden tooth: "If I'm not mistaken, shouldn't we be in the underworld of a Tang Dynasty tomb now?" In the ancient tombs of the Tang Dynasty, how could there be stone coffins of the Western Zhou Dynasty? ”

The Great Golden Tooth said, "Hmm...... Don't talk about you, I'm starting to get confused at this time, let's take a big turn in this ancient tomb, look at the structure of the underground palace in this tomb, and the murals of those fat palace maids, in addition to the tomb of the Tang Dynasty, how can there be such a pomp, such craftsmanship, but ...... Having said that, this stone coffin is indeed not a Tang Dynasty thing. ”

The fat man said to us: "Okay, it is impossible to remember wrongly, and it is impossible for all three of us to remember wrongly, I look at this stone...... What a coffin, it's not a valuable thing, I'm uncomfortable in this temple, let's quickly find a way to get out of here, it loves which dynasty it loves, it has nothing to do with us. ”

I said, "No, I see that the stone of this coffin is very similar to the large stone slab that seals the entrance to the thief cave, and they all appear out of nowhere, and if you want to find a way out, you must find out what is going on." ”

The big gold tooth said: "Hu Ye, I also think it's better not to see it, we can't go back from the entrance of the robbery cave, can't we still go to the middle of the cave, I think the captain who came in before left from the cave maze, although the legend is that there is a big labyrinth, but don't we have a compass, don't you have to worry too much about getting lost." ”

I nodded and said, "I know, in addition to the compass, there are also cowardice and long ropes, which can be used as road signs, but the depth of that cave is unknown, I'm afraid it's not easy to get out, what I'm most worried about is that the road also has these strange things like stone walls and stone coffins, damn, where did these things in the Western Zhou Dynasty come from?" ”

As I spoke, I suddenly remembered one thing, in the small village next to the snake slope, the old couple who left us for the night, once said that there is no Tang Tomb in this mountain, but according to legend, there is an ancient tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty, this human-faced stone coffin is indeed an object of the Western Zhou Dynasty, is it possible that the place where we are now is not the Tang Tomb, but the ancient tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty, since this is the case, how to explain the layout of those Tang Dynasty murals and Tang Dynasty mausoleums?

I think about my head hurts, and I can't think of a reason, even if there is more experience in these things, it can't be explained, what we are facing is a completely incomprehensible phenomenon, how could the Tang Dynasty abandon the tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty with a human face and stone coffin......

The big gold tooth is still scared, he has always been a brave person, he is money first, is a complete money worshipper, not too superstitious, never believed in ghosts and gods, if he is asked to make a choice between money and gods and Buddhas, even if he is asked to choose a hundred times, he will not hesitate to choose money, after all, do antique business, especially the inverted Ming vessel, can not be too superstitious, the big gold tooth hangs some gold Buddha jade Guanyin around the neck, but also just to seek a little psychological comfort.

However, at this moment, in the face of these unbelievable situations, the big golden tooth was also vague, and couldn't help but ask me: "Could the stone wall that suddenly appeared in the thief cave be...... Ghost hitting the wall? ”

I had just thought of a clue, but before I could sort it out, my thoughts were interrupted by the words of the big gold tooth, and I said to him, "Ghost hitting the wall? We haven't encountered a ghost hitting a wall, but I've heard that it's all ghosts in general, going around in circles, although a stone wall appears out of thin air in the thief hole, it should be different from a ghost hitting the wall. ”

The fat man urged on the side: "Old Hu, hurry up, if you want to say that we will withdraw now, then don't stand here, if you feel the need to see what this human face stone box is, then we will find a way to pry it open." ”

I didn't answer the fat man's question for the time being, and cautiously reached out and pushed the stone coffin in front of the person, the stone coffin was wedged with a stone tenon, and it was covered tightly, even if it was an iron bar, it was not easy to pry it open, and if there was a zongzi in it, it would not be easy to deal with it, I looked at the strange human face on the stone coffin again, and felt that it was better not to move.

Originally, we just wanted to come in and pick up some cheap, but we didn't pick it up, and we tried not to cause more trouble, as long as we could get out of the way, and weigh the pros and cons, I think it would be better to turn a blind eye to this strange human face stone coffin.

I made up my mind, and said to the fat man and the big golden tooth that leave this person alone, let's go back the way we came, it's a big deal to go out of the Longling Grotto, and stay any longer, maybe there will be some changes here.

The big gold tooth has long had this intention, I wish to be far away from this stone coffin, the three of them turned around and left, the big gold tooth led two geese, when the first jumped into the thief hole in the center of the temple, the fat man then jumped down, I looked back at the candle in the southeast corner of the temple, both hands supported the two sides of the hole, jumped down the hole.

When we came to this section of the robbery hole, we had already found out that the trend angle of the robbery cave was a 45-degree inclined plane, leading directly to the middle of the temple, and we crawled diagonally down in the robbery hole, crawling and crawling, but I personally felt that something was wrong, how did the originally inclined robbery hole become flat? We swept around with our flashlights, and we were dumbfounded, we actually crawled on the floor of a tomb, surrounded by strange and strange petroglyphs of human faces, not the same cave as before.

The three of you, look at me, I look at you, and I can't help but ask: "What the hell is this *** place?" ”
