Chapter 44: The White Jade Sarcophagus
As soon as we heard this loud noise, Liang Ruoyi couldn't help but scream, and we hurriedly turned our heads to look, and saw that the altar not far behind us was completely blown away, and what gushed out from under the altar was a strong underground water flow, which looked like Baotu Spring in its heyday, bubbling out.
"Not good!" When the seventh master saw this, he frowned: "Hurry up!" Pig head, hurry up and find something, see if you can get out by the way, if not, find the diving suit, we are ready to leave! ”
Everyone began to get nervous, everyone knew what this water meant, not only the speed and impact of the undercurrent outside the seamount began to increase dramatically, but more importantly, the water-loving dead vine would also be quickly attracted at this time!
The shaking of the ground soon stabilized, but the speed of the sea gushing out was much faster, everyone stood firm, and began to continue to run to the west.
After about two or three minutes of running, we finally saw a triangular burial mound in the darkness, and the speed under our feet was a little faster. The pig's head said hello to the seventh master, turned around and ran to the side of the mountain wall, looking for a shortcut to get out.
"Whew-whew-" My whole back was injured, and now this desperate run has made me sweat all over, standing in front of the tomb, looking at this bluestone building about one zhang high and about one zhang wide at the bottom.
The shape of this tomb is very similar to the pyramids of Egypt, but its bluestone is concave and convex, which looks like a sense of rhythm, and under the light of the flashlight, I can clearly see that each bluestone is carved with the same dragon pattern, which looks very imposing.
"This will be where Zhao Hao's coffin is?" I was a little confused: You know, Zhao Hao didn't have any manpower and material resources to build a tomb at that time, even if Zhao Hao was buried here, it would have been built a long time ago and buried him directly.
But even if it is explained in this way, why did not one of the emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty choose to be buried here? It is estimated that no one can explain it, and the people who know the reason for it died hundreds of years ago......
"Just open it and see." The seventh master said a word, looked up at the pig's head, and saw that the pig's head was busy under the mountain wall in the distance, so he took out a medium-sized hammer from Liang Ruoyi's bag and smashed it towards the tomb!
Surprisingly, this tomb is not as strong as imagined, perhaps it has been at the bottom of the sea for too long, it has been attacked by the damp breath, and the bluestone bricks have also softened a little.
Everyone hurriedly took a few steps back, and those who didn't contain a hundred blood stones also took out the hundred blood stones and put them in their mouths.
"Xiao Gu!" The seventh master turned his head to look at me and greeted.
Yes, every time this happens, I rush to the front to make a meat shield! I answered the call and walked over, took the hammer handed over by the seventh master, aimed at the edge of the hole and smashed it hard! I didn't have a chill in the back of my head, so I didn't have any strain, and I thought there might be nothing evil in this place.
There was a loud "bang", and the hole immediately expanded several times with a "bang", and I was just about to take a flashlight to shine it in to see what was inside, when I suddenly heard a "whoosh" whistle, and before I could react to what was happening, I was slammed into the chest and flew out directly!
"Not good! Dead vine! Be careful! "The seventh master didn't know when he took a torch in Liang Ruoyi's backpack and lit it, and I was taken by Liang Ruoyi, the hot pain in my chest must be another bloody mouth!
Standing firm and holding the flashlight to shine on it, we all gasped: in the hole where the tomb was smashed out, dozens of dead vines poked out densely, swaying slightly in the darkness, as if waiting for the right time to attack.
"Time waits for no one!" The Seventh Master slowly took a few steps back, and actually took out a small black ball: "I'm going to blow up this tomb!" ”
There was a hint of ruthlessness and helplessness in the tone of the seventh master, he actually didn't want to open the coffin so violently, but now the danger exists from time to time, and he can only open the tomb in the fastest way, and by the way, clean up these dead vines!
After the seventh master said, he took two steps back, and after thinking that our position was safe, he threw the small black ball in his hand violently, Liang Ruoyi and I didn't think about it, and turned around and lay on the ground directly!
There was a loud "boom", and the gravel flew all over the sky, and Liang Ruoyi and I lay on the ground with our heads in our hands, and a few stones smashed on my back full of wounds, and I grinned in pain.
After a few seconds, the dust cleared, and we each stood up, and the sight of the stumps of the dead vine all over the ground made my heart a little hairy.
And the bluestone tomb has also been completely blown open, revealing a rectangular coffin inside, in which a white jade sarcophagus lies quietly, under the light of the flashlight, faintly glowing with silver-white light, some weird, some mysterious.
The seventh master waved his hand and beckoned me, and slowly walked towards the sarcophagus. I hurriedly followed, and took out the dagger and held it in my hand.
When the two of us were about to reach the sarcophagus, the ground under our feet suddenly shook again, I immediately frowned, and just as I was about to speak, I heard a loud "boom" sound from the upper palace in the distance, it was obvious that the influx of sea water was more fierce at this moment, and the upper palace had collapsed in an instant just now.
"Hurry up, there's no time!" The seventh master looked at the water that had reached the soles of his feet and said.
I nodded, and suddenly felt that the ground under my feet was still shaking, and instantly remembered something, and hurriedly reached out and grabbed the seventh master: "Seventh master, I think ......"
Before the words fell, the ground under my feet suddenly cracked, and the seventh master and I hurriedly dodged to both sides, and we heard a "whirring" in our ears, and turned our heads to look, only to see a huge dead vine king with a diameter of about a foot rushing out of the second floor of the basement, and rushed towards me without saying a word!
",!" I'm terrified of this thing, and I almost killed another dead man, the Vine King, in the city gate with the pig's head, and I still have lingering palpitations.
I scolded, rolled on the spot, and shook the dead vine king, Liang Ruoyi reacted very quickly, rushed over, and the short blade flew from the bottom to the top and slashed through the stem of the dead vine king!
You must know that the short blade in the hand of the ice beauty is not an ordinary sharp weapon, and no matter how powerful the dead vine king is, it is just a plant, so I heard a muffled sound of "poof", and the stem of the dead vine king was cut a hole about three feet long, and the dark green juice sprayed to the ground in an instant!
"Hah!" Seeing this, the Seventh Master laughed, as if he felt that the Dead Vine King had lost half his life, and he didn't even want to bully himself, so he waved his palm and slapped at the Dead Vine King, looking like he wanted to kill with one blow!
"Seventh Master! Be careful! "I've seen the terrifying length of this dead vine king, and now more than eighty percent of its body is still on the second layer, if the seventh master is underestimated......
"Smack! Whoa—"
Sure enough, when the Seventh Master heard my words, his body stagnated halfway, and then the ground under his feet cracked again, and the head of the Dead Vine King rushed up, directly knocking the Seventh Master to the ground, twisting it out of thin air, and rushing towards the Seventh Master who was lying on the ground and had not yet gotten up!
"Damn, die!" The Seventh Master didn't know when he took out a small black ball from his body again, and threw it directly into the mouth of the dead vine king!
"Boom-"
There was another explosion, and this time none of us were spared, covered in dark green juice and looking disgusting......
"Seventh Master, you are ruthless, you are really good......" I smiled bitterly and covered my nose, not knowing what to say.
The Seventh Master didn't have the slightest intention of joking with me, and got up from the ground: "Xiao Gu, open the coffin!" ”
I glanced at the sea water that had lost my ankles, and then looked at the lower palace in the distance, which seemed to be gone, and the pig's head on the other side that was "jingling" and didn't know what it was doing, nodded, and followed the seventh master to the sarcophagus, threw away the gravel stumps scattered on the coffin lid, and looked carefully.
This white jade sarcophagus is about eight feet long and more than three feet wide, and it seems that there is no carving on the whole sarcophagus.
The seventh master glanced at me: "This coffin lid is pressed directly, there is no coffin groove structure, under the action of long-term weathering, the coffin mouth and the coffin lid that are originally completely consistent will undergo some changes, and it will feel shaking." ”
As he spoke, the seventh master took out the thinnest iron thorn from his backpack, which was almost half the thickness of his little finger, and picked up the iron hammer, and with a "dang" sound, he knocked the iron thorn directly into the side of the coffin lid and stabbed it into the sarcophagus......
