Chapter 140: Opening the Coffin
As soon as he said this, I immediately blushed, the question just now is indeed a bit idiotic, the ghost is going to the underworld, or wandering around, how can it be possible to build a tomb and put it in a coffin.
But that relief really doesn't look like a person, it feels ghostly, maybe because it is not colored, or because there is no carved face, anyway, it looks weird.
This kind of stone coffin is stone on the outside, and the inside is the real coffin, and the coffin cover is hundreds or thousands of pounds, and it seems that I have to take action.
handed the flashlight to Zhu Gui and asked him to go to the side to cool off, I was just about to do it, but Zhu Gui reminded: "You must be careful, there may be hidden weapons and other mechanisms in it." ”
I smiled at him: "Don't worry, ordinary hidden weapons can't hurt me." ”
Of course, I knew that there might be hidden weapons inside, and in the era when I was born was prevalent in thick burials, but anyone with some family backgrounds would bury some valuables more or less after death. In order to prevent theft, many ambushes will be designed in the mausoleum, generally with dark crossbows, poisonous insects, and quicksand, but I have never heard of strange birds in the poisonous blood tank like just now.
Thinking about this, I can't help but feel a little worried, if it's a hidden weapon like a crossbow arrow, I'm not so afraid. As a martial arts practitioner, the first thing you have to learn is how to prevent being plotted. As the saying goes, "Don't be afraid of a thousand troops, only an inch of iron," many friends on the rivers and lakes have warned me that I must work hard to avoid hidden weapons, otherwise sooner or later one day I will suffer in this regard.
With my current skills, it would be an exaggeration to say dodging bullets, but it's really not easy for ordinary hidden weapons to hurt me.
Judging from the blood trough just now, if there is any mechanism in this coffin, it will definitely not be as simple as a dark crossbow. But now, I can only bite the bullet, or the same sentence, let it be fate.
I pulled out a pair of rubber waterproof gloves from my bag and put them on my hands, feeling safer than it was, in case the stone coffin was poisonous.
Although it may not be able to hold the poison in a low grade, it is much better than cloth.
I learned that Zhu Gui gently touched the coffin with his gloves, turned it over and saw that there seemed to be nothing abnormal, so I was relieved.
The lid of the coffin is about 20 centimeters thick, and the gap is large, so it should not be difficult to open. I went to the side, grabbed a corner with both hands, and with a little force, the stone cover moved slightly. Then I violently increased my strength, and the lid made a screeching grinding sound, and I lifted it up stiffly.
I stared at the dark space between the coffin cover and the stone coffin, and my heart was extremely nervous, but God blessed, I hope there will be no immoral mechanism.
Originally, I wanted to remove the lid directly, saving time and effort, but when I thought about it, the stone cover would definitely break. It is already very immoral for us to open other people's coffins, and if we break the coffin covers, isn't that even more hated?
What if the owner here wanted to squander his wealth and help us at first, but when he saw that we were so unreasonable, the corpse jumped out of the coffin and fought with us?
With the sound of friction between the stones, the coffin lid had been lifted high by me, but fortunately, there was no accident, and I gently lowered the lid to the ground.
Zhu Gui bit his lip and gave me a thumbs up, saying, "Brother, it's fortunate, you can get more for more work, and you can take more of the good things in it." ”
I was so angry that I almost laughed: "When did you become so generous." ”
After a few idle sentences, the tense atmosphere was eased, and our two flashlights shone into the coffin at the same time.
As expected, inside was a red wooden coffin, and the red paint on the coffin was as bright as new, as if it had just been painted, and the light of the flashlight was reversed.
In the corner of the coffin lid, there was a black slimy thing, I didn't see it clearly at first, I changed the angle, and the flashlight shone again, and then it seemed to be a black cloth.
This is strange, people put the funeral goods in the coffin, how did he put it outside?
Zhu Gui stretched out his shovel and carefully touched the black cloth, trying to pick it up, but he didn't succeed. It appears to be glued to the coffin. It took a long time to figure out that there was a rod at one end of the black cloth that had been inserted into the hole in the coffin.
This surprised us all, this is too contrary to common sense, how can anyone bury and dig a hole in the coffin lid? Although there is a layer of stone coffin on the outside, which can prevent some insects and ants from harassing it, it is a big taboo to dig a hole in the coffin.
The coffin of the dead is like his house, it must be sealed and complete, if there is a hole in it, it is equivalent to a hole in the house, and it has to be poured into the wind and rain.
"What should I do, do you want to open the coffin?" I asked.
After looking at it for a long time, I didn't know what that piece of cloth was for, so I just didn't care, hurry up and leave.
Zhu Gui thought for a moment: "Do you think this cloth could be the flag on the relief?" ”
I gasped, it was possible.
"How about dialing it out first?"
When Zhu Gui heard this, he frowned, stared at the cloth for a while and said, "Open the coffin directly, I feel that there may be something wrong with that thing, so don't touch it yet." ”
If you want to say that the coffin in the stone coffin is really troublesome, you can't pry it from the crack, and the shovel can't get in at all, so you can only pull it up directly.
Although I do have a lot of strength, this angle is not easy to use, and if there are more nails in the coffin, it will take some time.
I raised my flashlight and shone it into the gap between the coffin and the coffin, for I was afraid that there would be some mechanism in ambush, and it would be troublesome for me to open the coffin.
Zhu Gui grinded vigorously beside him: "Brother, it's not that I don't help you, how can I not have as much strength as you, can you work more, rest assured, if you have benefits, you will take the big head, I will not be greedy." ”
I didn't have the heart to listen to him, and after checking that there was no problem, I jumped onto the stone coffin. There is also a depth of forty or fifty centimeters between the top edge of the stone coffin and the coffin lid, so it is difficult to use force in this position.
After taking a few deep breaths, my cat bent down and grabbed the coffin board tightly with both hands, I didn't dare to grab the end of the black cloth, as Zhu Gui said, I always felt that there was something wrong with the cloth, it was better to hide away.
I tried to pull it up, but the coffin plate did not move at all, I felt a little bottomless in my heart, it seemed that I might not be able to do it without the power of true qi, I straightened my waist again, put my hand on the dantian, and carried the true qi.
Soon, the feeling of the air surging in the body quickly came, and the whole person suddenly felt a lot more energetic, and it was the first time that I knew that the true qi also had a refreshing effect, and this feeling had never been felt before.
Although the power of the True Qi Explosion is powerful, it has the disadvantage that you have to be lucky in advance, so it is basically not used in actual combat. Life and death in a war are between minutes and seconds, and who will give you luck.
