Chapter 44: Opening the Coffin
Since entering the underground, all kinds of things he has seen and encountered, all of which have made Zhao Zhu have a very chaotic feeling, many places of the ancient tomb seem not very organized, and now it seems to be understandable, after all, this ancient tomb has been changed by many generations of Manchu emperors, and it is naturally impossible to keep it the most original kind of unity and continuity.
But it is precisely because of this that this ancient tomb seems even more unpredictable, in case an emperor suddenly gets something in it on a whim, it may be a life and death crisis for Zhao Zhu, but now Zhao Zhu knows that there are tigers in the mountains and prefer the situation of the tiger mountain.
Leaving the tomb full of calligraphy and paintings, Zhao Zhu found himself walking to a relatively empty area, the reason why he felt empty was because his searchlight could not once again detect all the areas around him, and the place where he was should not be an ordinary tomb, but a location similar to the main hall or square in the palace.
Zhao Zhu could only slowly grope his way forward, and gradually, after seeing some specific environments around him, Zhao Zhu determined that this should be an area where several tombs intersect, and it could be regarded as a small garden on the ground on the Yang Building, but there was also a flower garden enclosed with white marble, but there were no surviving plants in the flower bed, just a piece of black soil.
"Sonorous."
Zhao Zhu was taken aback by himself, because he stepped on something, lowered his head and shone it with a searchlight, it was a knife, the scabbard was very delicate and atmospheric, a bit like a knife that only appears in costume dramas.
After hesitating for a while, Zhao Zhu still decided to throw a fireworks stick around here first to have a general observation perspective on the overall situation, however, when the fireworks stick was thrown, Zhao Zhu regretted it, and regretted it very much, under the strong light of the fireworks stick, Zhao Zhu saw that around him, there were nearly hundreds of soldiers wearing bright yellow armor, but these soldiers were wearing masks, but they were still standing tall, and the evil aura that came to his face, after seeing it, Zhao Zhu felt a little difficult to breathe.
What made Zhao Zhu's scalp tingle even more was that the armor closest to him suddenly moved at this time, although it was a subtle movement, but at this extremely tense moment, it was still captured by Zhao Zhu.
He's moving!
!
However, at this time, Zhao Zhu was already a little forced to be numb, he only knew that if he still wanted to continue to find the essence of the dragon vein, he had to continue to move forward into the depths of the ancient tomb, and he must not retreat!
Therefore, after knowing that there was something strange about the hundreds of guards around him who looked like dried corpses, he still took a deep breath and sprinted towards them.
As Zhao Zhu ran, the corner of Zhao Zhu's eyes saw that the dried corpses around him began to move, and the parts covered by their face armor revealed a pair of eyes that emitted blue light, as if at this time, they returned one by one, and began to prepare to continue to control their bodies and protect the sacred area they should guard!
Zhao Zhu's running speed was indeed very fast, and in comparison, the speed of those guards' "resurrection" was a little slower, but when Zhao Zhu was less than ten meters away from entering the entrance of the next tomb, the two guards in front of him suddenly drew their knives and slashed directly at Zhao Zhu, that posture, that posture, as if they were extremely brave four hundred years ago, they really woke up!
At this time, it was too late to brake and dodge, Zhao Zhu just jumped over, his luck was indeed good, he just jumped from the combined attack of the two knives, but most of his hair was cut off, but Zhao Zhu was not able to take a breath, in the distance, several guards had already opened their bows and arrows and shot several arrows, these arrows were terrifyingly powerful, but they all shot on the mountaineering bag behind Zhao Zhu, and brought Zhao Zhu's whole person to fall forward, but it was also lucky enough, and he stumbled directly into the next tomb, The inside of the next burial chamber is completely a slope-like structure, so Zhao Zhu directly rolled down.
When Zhao Zhu hit something and stopped, there was almost no place in his body that didn't hurt, and it was estimated that there were abrasions and bruises everywhere on his body now, but fortunately, it didn't hurt his bones, as long as he gritted his teeth and pressed down the pain on his body, he could still move normally.
The searchlight he was wearing on his head had been broken, Zhao Zhu had to take out a flashlight from his bag again, turn it on, and look around, the dry corpse guards in bright yellow armor behind him should not have chased here, maybe they also have a range of activities and boundaries, or they must have the breath of a living person to stimulate them to react.
"It hurts." Zhao Zhu kept taking deep breaths, so that he didn't think about the pain in his body, and then, the beam of his flashlight shone in front of him, that is, what made him hit it just now and stopped rolling, this is a coffin, a very ordinary coffin, it is placed here so abruptly, there are no tributes, no incense cases, and there is not even a platform of steps around.
If it is replaced by other tomb robbers, it is estimated that the thieves will not go empty, first open the museum to feel the Ming Device, but Zhao Zhu is not here to rob the tomb, he is here to do the task, at this time it is naturally more than one thing is better than one less, he chose to go around directly, ignoring this coffin, but when he walked around this coffin and walked a few steps before he was stunned to find that this tomb is surrounded by a concave space arrangement formed by a smooth brick surface with a slope of 70 degrees, Zhao Zhu does not say that he went to other places, he wants to leave this tomb now, You have to climb up first, this steep angle and this smooth brick surface make Zhao Zhu feel that it is too difficult and too difficult to climb out, of course, Zhao Zhu still has some tools in his backpack, with the help of those tools, it is not impossible to climb out, but what if you climb out?
Going to meet the dead guards again and say hello?
Zhao Zhu knew that there were two reasons why he was able to rush out before, one was that he did not hesitate, and directly began to rush forward after discovering that something was wrong with the corpse guard, and the other was that he was lucky, those two knives and those few arrows failed to really hurt himself, and again, I am afraid that there is no such good luck, but since this tomb is set, there must be a reason, Zhao Zhu's eyes showed a thoughtful look, and finally, his eyes still fell on the coffin.
"Could it be that the entrance to the next burial chamber is inside the coffin?"
If this is the case, then the coffin must be opened.
It didn't take too long to hesitate, Zhao Zhu directly took out a few coffin-opening utensils from the bag, and first started to nail the four corners of the coffin, when he opened the nails at the four corners, he could start to push the coffin lid, Zhao Zhu didn't order any ghost blowing the lamp, because no matter what kind of thing was underneath, even if there was really a ghost, this coffin, Zhao Zhu had to open it.
"One...... Two...... Three ......"
Zhao Zhu shouted in his heart, and then pushed the coffin lid horizontally open.
At the moment when the lid of the coffin was pushed open, a cloud of black gas drifted out from inside, and then, Zhao Zhu saw a figure sitting up like this, he turned his head, and his eyes made contact with Zhao Zhu.
For a moment, a dangerous and terrifying aura completely enveloped Zhao Zhu!
Zhao Zhu himself didn't expect that the corpse transformation would come so quickly, so that he was caught off guard, it seemed that the contents of it had already been unbearable, and when the coffin was opened, he couldn't wait to come out!
"Puff"
Zhao Zhu subconsciously retreated, but his foot touched his mountaineering bag and then slipped, this fall calmed Zhao Zhu's heart a little, and then looked at the figure in the coffin, still motionless, Zhao Zhu took a flashlight and shone it over, it was a completely black corpse, his face had curled up into a ball, his facial features couldn't be seen clearly, he did tilt his head here, but there was no movement, Zhao Zhu sat on the ground and watched with a flashlight for a long time, and finally, he breathed a sigh of relief:
"Fuck, I'm scared to death, it's really just a corpse."
Zhao Zhu knew that after death, the joints stiffened and the muscles began to stiffen, and then put it in a well-sealed coffin for a long time, and when the museum suddenly opened, the airflow rushed in, which would cause the muscles of the corpse to collapse quickly, and it was likely to directly cause the corpse to sit up or do something else, which was a natural "natural phenomenon".
However, it is estimated that he was much frightened by those unnatural phenomena in this ancient tomb, and suddenly saw a natural phenomenon, Zhao Zhu was a little stunned, and he couldn't react before.
