Chapter 280: Black Sarcophagus

As we walked out of the end of the river, the air suddenly became fresh, and at the same time, a huge burial chamber appeared in front of us.

After walking for so long, there were no traces of artificial construction in the river, and I thought that I would enter a natural cave when I left the river, but I didn't expect that as far as the eye could see, there were walls and floors built and paved with square stone bricks.

The underground structure of the Mass Grave Mountain is much larger than I expected.

But what really caught my attention was not the size of the tomb, but the black stone coffin in the center of the tomb.

I turned on the flashlight, and when the beam of the flashlight shone on the black coffin, the surface of the coffin glowed with a soft luster similar to metal.

The tomb of the Dragon King in Erlongwan and the evil tomb of the old Huang family in the Northeast have all appeared in such a coffin.

I'm not sure if the placement of such a coffin in an abnormal tomb is some kind of consensus reached by the tomb builders thousands of years ago, but I do know that as long as this kind of black sarcophagus appears in front of me, it means that such a tomb is full of all kinds of dangers.

I was also wondering if the black sarcophagus had appeared, did it mean that in this huge tomb under the Mass Grave Mountain, such a strange Yin Jade was also preserved.

At this time, the master was lying on Liang Houzai's back, and he pointed to the sarcophagus and motioned for me to go over and have a look.

I took the fox fire lantern from Xian'er, and with the green steel sword in my other hand, I held a flashlight in my mouth, and slowly approached the coffin.

My steps are deliberately very light, and before each step, I will look at the situation under my feet, and I find that some of the stone slabs on the ground are loose, and when I step on the soles of my feet, those loose stone slabs will sink slightly with the force of my feet. I'm worried that those loose slabs might be triggers for some kind of trap, and if you step on it, you might touch it.

So I used the bluesteel sword to mark the relatively solid stone slabs so that others could avoid the traps as they moved.

When I came to the sarcophagus, I placed the fox fire lantern on the ground and carefully checked the details on the sarcophagus with a flashlight.

Unlike the black sarcophagus in the Tomb of the Dragon King and the Evil Tomb, the surface of this coffin is not smooth, and there are many small notches on it, which appear to be some very old hieroglyphs.

After that, I used the hilt of the green steel sword to push the coffin lid, this coffin lid was not as heavy as I imagined, I just pushed it slightly, and the coffin lid cut a gap two fingers wide, and at the same time, a heavy musty smell came out of this gap, but other than that, there was no corpse qi, and there were no other abnormal Qi fields.

I leaned over to the crack and put the light of the flashlight in, and I saw a golden glow in the coffin.

I looked inside carefully, there was a corpse with only bones left in the coffin, he should have been rich or expensive during his lifetime, around the corpse, there were piles of gold and jade, in addition, there was a very long sword in the hand of the corpse, judging from the luster reflected by the sword body, its material should be iron or steel, but after such a long time, there was not even a little rust on the sword body, and the blade was still flickering with cold light. There was also a huge gem on the hilt, which was a rough stone that had not been polished and looked very rough, but when the beam hit it, the gem showed a translucent luster.

This sword...... I've seen a hand-drawn manuscript of it on an ancient book in the Cabinet of the Soul Village, but I only glanced at the ancient book and didn't look at the contents specifically.

At this moment, my master suddenly shouted at me, "What's wrong?" ”

I didn't dare to delay, and I put my ear to the coffin again, and I didn't hear the wind, indicating that there was no secret passage under the coffin. Then I straightened up and shouted to Master, "There is nothing abnormal about the coffin!" ”

After saying that, I went deeper into the burial chamber, and a hundred meters away, I found a second black sarcophagus.

Like the previous black sarcophagus, there was no wind underneath this coffin, and in addition to a corpse, there were only some gold jewels in the coffin.

The dead are the greatest, and I can't move the dead people's things, and although the gold and jewels are attractive to me, I can only put the coffin lid on and keep walking.

I walked cautiously for a long time before I reached the end of the tomb.

On the high stone brick wall at the end of the burial chamber is a large door carved out of several large pieces of granite, one of which is carved with a bird with a human face and a beast, and the other is a rough carving of a mountain.

At this moment, a wide gap was opened between the huge and heavy door panels.

I shone my flashlight on the ground, and there was a trail of water on the ground that ran from somewhere on my left hand side and went all the way into the crevice.

On the other side of the door should be a tunnel, inside which the wind blows out, and the dampness in the wind is heavy.

I followed the trails of water on the ground and tried to find its source. I found that on the ground where there were traces of water, many of the stone bricks were completely sunken, and on the edges of the stone slabs that were completely sunk into the ground, there was a faint shiny shining, I don't know where the luster came from, but I knew that the luster was probably related to the mechanism in the tomb.

I followed the trail of the water until I reached the far left end of the burial chamber, and I saw a large hole in the stone wall that was one man high, and there were some broken stones scattered around the hole.

This hole must have been forcibly demolished by someone or something, and the time of demolition is not far from now, I turned over a piece of gravel, and there were no stains on the ground, if these gravel were left on the ground for a long time, there would definitely be stains on the ground.

In addition, on this stone, there is some liquid hanging on it, which has a fishy face, like blood.

Due to the light, I couldn't make out the color of the liquid, and I could only roughly estimate it as blood.

Immediately in my mind, a powerful creature broke through the stone wall with its body, and as it broke through the wall, its body was cut by sharp stones, and it bled a lot, and then it crawled to the door of the tomb, opened the stone door and escaped.

I used the technique of carrying corpses, trying to sense the Qi field on the bloodstains, although I don't have blood essence yet, but I can still sense a trace of pure yang and chaotic yin on the bloodstains.

The two opposing Qi fields appeared on the same bloodstain, constantly devouring each other, both becoming weaker and weaker at an extremely slow speed.

I put down the gravel and immediately followed the route I had marked back to Master.

At this time, the master had already come down from Liang Houzai's back, and was nesting in the corner of the wall eating compressed biscuits, when he saw me coming, handed me the compressed biscuits in his hand, and asked me, "How is it?" ”

I frowned and said to Master, "I have found a trace of the corpse, it has come to this place and fled in the direction of the tomb gate. There are two black sarcophagi in the burial chamber, both of which are unusual. ”

Holding his knees, my master stood up with some difficulty, and said to everyone present, "Hurry up and eat something, let's go on our way!" ”

Senior Brother Feng came over and took Master's temperature, a little more than thirty-seven degrees, and still had a low-grade fever.

At this time, Xian'er also came over, she glanced at the thermometer in Senior Brother Feng's hand, and asked with some puzzlement: "Feng Youyi, why do you still bring a thermometer when you go to the tomb, could it be that you already knew that someone would have a fever?" ”

Senior Brother Feng smiled at her and said, "I look at feng shui, and I often bring a thermometer or something, generally speaking, it is used for side water temperature and soil temperature, of course, this kind of thermometer can also be used to measure body temperature." ”

At that time, Luo Fei was standing next to Senior Brother Feng and asked with a smile: "Looking at feng shui, do you also have to measure the water temperature and soil temperature?" ”

"In our Tunmeng lineage, the temperature of the water and the temperature of the land can very well explain the feng shui pattern of a place," Senior Brother Feng said jokingly, "However, these things involve the inheritance of our Soul Village, although they are not involved, but they cannot be said to outsiders after all." Hehe, one day you marry into our Soul Village, I'll tell you in detail. ”

When Senior Brother Feng spoke, Xian'er was already glaring at him.

Senior Brother Feng was stunned for a moment when he saw Xian'er's expression, and the expression on his face immediately became a little embarrassed, he looked at Xian'er and Luo Fei, and then looked at me and said, "Oh, I said the wrong thing?" ”

I felt that he was doing it on purpose, so I ignored him, walked up to my master, and chewed on the compressed biscuit.

Seriously, when I first ate these cookies, I thought they tasted good, but after two days of eating, now the dry cookies feel like chewing sand in my mouth, and there is almost no taste at all.

It took about five minutes before we got back on the road.

Before the pull-out, I specially instructed everyone that there was a mechanism on the ground, and I had made a mark on the correct route for everyone to follow the mark.

In fact, a long time ago, I also wondered why such a way to survive can always be found in these ancient tombs with many mechanisms, there are no mechanisms on them, and most of them are safe to walk all the way down, as if the tomb builders deliberately left such a road to facilitate tomb robbers.

It was also during the summer vacation of my junior high school that I talked to Senior Brother Feng about this one day, and Senior Brother Feng told me that the way of life in the ancient tomb was actually left by the tomb builder. After they have built a cemetery, they are going to follow this road. But in order to prevent theft, this way of life is usually very hidden, and ordinary grave builders like to sandwich the way of life between the dead end, so that it is not easy for tomb robbers to crack.

Generally speaking, as long as the arrangement in the tomb does not detach from the yin and yang gossip, it is easier to find a way out. What can't be cracked are those old tombs of the ancient era, when these tombs appeared, Zhou Yi gossip had not been studied, and such tombs were extremely rare, and there was almost no relevant information to be found, so it was impossible to know how the great witches arranged the tombs at that time.

In addition, there is another kind of tomb that is almost impossible to find a way out, that is, the burial tomb, after the tomb builder has built the tomb, he will be buried in the tomb with the tomb owner, like this tomb, the tomb builder will rarely leave a way out.

When we were about to come to the tomb gate, the feng shui plate in Senior Brother Feng's hand was disturbed again, and he retreated some distance to avoid the chaotic magnetic field, and determined the direction for the last time. The tunnel outside the tomb gate leads to the northeast.

The tunnel is tilted downward, the slope is not big, but the tunnel is very long, you can't see the edge at a glance, Liu Shangang is worried that this time into the ground, the air will become very poor, and helped everyone replace the reagents in the oxygen concentrator.
