The sudden thought made Zhang Chopsticks a little flustered.

It's a little weird.

Two o'clock in the night is the time when everything is most sleepy. In this wilderness, a dog jumped out and did a series of unimaginable things, and the idea of Zhang Chopsticks returned to the beginning.

Is it a dog?

Or the embodiment of this underground demon, deliberately leading him in. In fact, they were waiting for him to fall in and bite off his neck and devour his flesh.

Zhang tried to stand on tiptoe, wanting to see the trace of the wild dog. It must have been watching nearby, waiting for itself to be caught.

Click, rub. Zhang chopsticks paused, listening carefully to the movement.

Click~~

Zhang chopsticks immediately did not move, his experience told him that the stone under his feet cracked with such force.

Boom, the sound of collapse.

Zhang grabbed the rope with his chopsticks, and his feet were empty, and he fell down with the stone. Although he had a rope on his body, Zhang Chopsticks still grabbed around frantically, but fortunately, in the darkness, he grabbed a thick thing and stopped his body.

The flashlight didn't catch it, it fell, flashed a few times, and went out.

The stones all collapsed, and Zhang felt with his chopsticks, and what he grabbed should be a cypress root.

Why do you have to grab the roots of a tree when you have a rope on your body? Because Zhang Chopsticks made a mistake - his rope was too long. The Spring and Autumn Tomb in this mound is not as deep as the underground palace, at most two or three meters high, and his rope is too long to make him unable to bear the force and fall down.

Thankfully, he grabbed a tree root.

Zhang Zhang's chopsticks wrapped his legs around the root of the tree, and with his other hand, he fumbled for a spare headlamp in his bag and turned it on on his head.

As soon as the lights were turned on, he was stunned by the scene in front of him. He has robbed countless tombs, but he has never seen such a strange tomb.

Is this still a tomb? It's literally a world of roots. Countless cypress roots stretched down from above, like chains hanging vertically, intersecting one by one, blocking this small space.

It is surrounded by polished stone walls with faded strokes that have almost disappeared, and of course, the stone walls are also covered with tree roots.

The brightness of the headlamp is really limited. Zhang chopsticks took out a handful of cold fireworks, broke them, and threw them down one after another, and the entire tomb was illuminated.

Zhang Chopsticks was looking at it, and suddenly felt a cold in his hand, as if something was touching his hand.

He jerked his head up and shook his headlamp to his side, barely falling.

He saw a withered yellow face.

Zhang Qiaozi screamed and kicked out, kicking away the dried corpse that was close to him.

The dried corpse's neck hung from the root of the tree, and it was kicked by Zhang Chopsticks, and it was a little farther away from him. Tickling in the air.

Only then did Zhang Chopsticks see that this was a sallow, dried corpse, with a naked body and no clothes, and his skin was completely shriveled. His eye sockets were empty, his mouth was wide open, and the root of the tree had reached his mouth after going around his neck!

Zhang Qiaozi hurriedly turned his head to look around, and sure enough, this small space was full of dried corpses! The roots were wrapped around their necks and into their mouths. One by one, they died in extreme twist and pain, shriveled like oranges that had been drained of their juice.

Zhang Qiaozi suddenly realized why the cypress trees here had grown so thick. Perhaps these cypress trees did not eat people, but the builders of the tombs made use of living sacrifices. Hang a living person on the root of a tree and hang it, the corpse is rotten, and the root hanging from him smells the nutrients and sticks the root into the mouth of the corpse

Click!

Something is torn.

Zhang Chopsticks looked at it, and after the dry corpse he kicked away turned around in the air a few times, his neck was broken and his body fell. Only a yellow, withered head remained, and the empty eye sockets were facing the chopsticks.

Zhang Chopsticks didn't want to look at the dried corpse anymore, so he slid down the tree roots.

At the end, Zhang was surprised to find that the ground was soft, and the roots were covered everywhere. Zhang Qiaozi suddenly thought that if this cypress tree was a dryad, it could shrink the roots of the tree in an instant, wrap him into a zongzi, and suck his nutrients dry. Fortunately, it's just imagination.

Zhang Qiaozi stopped thinking nonsense and began to look for the coffin, which was the purpose of his visit.

This burial chamber is not large, and Zhang Qiaozi quickly found the coffin from the root of the tree, which was a stone coffin, tightly wrapped by the roots, and only one corner was exposed.

Zhang chopsticks swept the surroundings and there were no treasures, and he expected that they were all put into the coffin, and jumped on the coffin in a few steps. He took out the dagger he had with him and began to cut the roots of the tree.

Another chopsticks were surprised that the roots of the tree in the tomb were very tender, brittle like new shoots outside. These cypresses not only develop on land but even in underground systems. Zhang chopsticks easily cut them open, revealing the coffin.

Zhang Chopsticks finally used the crowbar on his back and easily pried open the stone coffin, which was still a sarcophagus.

This is very unconscionable. The form of burial in the Spring and Autumn period is very distinctive, most of them have coffins on the outside, wooden coffins or bronze coffins on the inside (the monarch has a gold coffin). As a general, the mound is so high and the protective measures are so careful, it is a sarcophagus that is used.

What are the benefits of a sarcophagus? It is cheaper and bulkier than a wooden coffin. But there is also a small benefit, which is that it is stronger.

Zhang chopsticks took out a jade pen and began to draw blood lines. (When he said this, I opened my mouth in surprise, but I didn't say anything.) Didn't find anything wrong, it seems that the contents of the coffin are not fierce.

So he prepared to open the coffin, and it was nearly four o'clock at this time, and it was summer, and the days were long and the nights were short. In just over an hour, the sun should come out.

It's not good.

Zhang Qiaozi anxiously pushed the coffin, but found that he couldn't push it away.

He searched all the corners of the sarcophagus according to his experience, but found no nails in the coffin. There was no sign of gluing to the sarcophagus, as if it had been covered with a lid.

But he just couldn't push it away. He used a crowbar, a Luoyang shovel, and even a little bit of explosives.

Nothing works.

Zhang sat down like a prostration, and sat down on the soft and tough roots. I was depressed and worked all night. As soon as the morning dawns, there will be farmers working who will find out that the tomb has been stolen, and then the government will lock it down. Archaeologists will take the opportunity to take everything from here.

He had nothing to do but flee quickly.

Zhang Chopsticks began to look at the tomb, maybe there would be a funeral item he missed, and it was worth the trip.

Suddenly, Zhang saw something mixed in the roots of the tree in front of the coffin. He ran over and cleared the roots of the tree, revealing a stone beast. It is the 'roar of a bull-headed tiger'.

"This is" Zhang chopsticks squinted at the stone beast, raised a crowbar and cracked the stone beast's head with a stick, and a stinking toad popped out of it.

Zhang Qiaozi smiled and said to himself: "It turned out to be a tomb beast, hey, I was misled by these tree roots." Zhang chopsticks knocked the toad to death with a stick.

The so-called tomb beast is the last layer of protection in the tomb, and its principle has been lost. In some ancient tombs, there are often some foreign objects alive. These foreign objects were buried with the tomb owner when he was buried and fell into a dormant state. And when someone wants to disturb the tomb owner's rest, these foreign objects will wake up on their own and use their power to protect the tomb.

If it weren't for these intricate tree roots covering the 'roar', I'm afraid that the experienced Zhang chopsticks would have come in and slapped the toad to death.

After eliminating the tomb beast, Zhang Qiaozi went to push the coffin again, and sure enough, the coffin was easily pushed away.

The coffin was as black as ink. Zhang Chopsticks is very strange, in such a sealed burial chamber, the coffin can still enter the water?

Zhang chopsticks also became nervous, under the soak of these sewage, any treasure could be damaged. Moreover, in this water, the corpse of a general sleeps - a wet corpse.

As we all know, wet corpses are the most prone to corpse transformation. They have been dead for thousands of years, and their bodies remain incorruptible and resilient. As long as you encounter a little anger in the extreme yin environment, it may trigger a corpse transformation.

What's more, it's the corpse that has been locked in this locked dragon vein for thousands of years.

Zhang chopsticks slowly inserted two fingers into the black water, which was very cold. He was confident in his hands, and he was perfectly capable of retracting them the moment a zombie bit his finger.

Soon, almost his entire arm was in, his face was stunned, and then, his hand stirred wildly around the coffin.

Empty.

No corpses at all?

He was ready to fight the zombies, but his sense of touch told him that there really wasn't anything inside.

It's an empty tomb, and he's been tricked. Why, he kicked on the coffin. Such a large formation, thousands of years of accumulation, the blockade of the breeze dragon vein. It turned out to be an empty tomb!

Who was so boring that he set up such a bureau thousands of years ago waiting for him to crash into?
