Chapter 25: The White Jade Coffin

Rebar pipes have many uses, but they are clearly not suitable for torches.

We cut a garment into three pieces, tied them into three balls with three sections of trekking rope, and then soaked them in dragon oil and tied them to three rebar pipes.

At first, we thought very well, and felt that the dragon oil was not only resistant to burning, but also emitted a strange fragrance that could prevent the invasion of mosquitoes such as witch Gu.

But we have overlooked one important thing, and that is the thermal conductivity of steel.

However, there is no way to do this, because in addition to the rebar pipe, it is really difficult to find other more suitable items to make torches in this tomb.

In the end, Qian Bi came up with a way that was not a solution, using hollow stalactites to put on the other end of the rebar pipe, and then wrapping a handle with a rope, which barely made a dragon oil torch that would not be hot.

I and I each took a torch, and I carried the other torch that had not been burned on my back as a backup.

After a quick rush to finish all this, we quickly tapped the supplies and hurried into the graveyard.

The light from the torches was not as strong as the flashlight penetrating it, but it illuminated us very brightly at the four or five meters where we were.

Perhaps it was because the strange fragrance from the burning of dragon oil had the effect of refreshing my mind, and my brain felt unusually clear at the moment.

Qian Nose and I were carrying large marching bags, holding torches in one hand and Wei Shuangwu in the middle in the other.

Entering the tomb, the style of the whole tomb began to be rigorous, with smooth stone steps, spacious tomb passages, arc-shaped domes, and exquisite reliefs on the two walls.

The ventilation holes and drainage ditches are all carved into the ground and walls of the whole rock, and they are seamlessly connected to the ground.

All these details reveal the prominent identity of the owner of this tomb.

"The grandeur of the imperial tomb is not ordinary, on weekdays, our thieves are directly into the main mausoleum or the burial ear room, how can we see such a magnificent scene from the main entrance? If it weren't for the fact that the main tomb was built in the depths of the rocky mountains this time, it would be rare to see so many wonders, and the wisdom of the ancients was really immeasurable. Wei Shuangwu said with emotion.

"Do you still have to say that? The pyramids, the Great Wall, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, these miracles cannot be replicated even by modern technology, of course, they are immeasurable! ”

Wei Shuangwu didn't want to pay attention to him, but just snorted in approval.

"But what do you mean by all these reliefs carved into the walls? Isn't it supposed to be some reliefs praising the deeds of the tomb owner during his lifetime? How can you carve some birds! Qian Nose brought the torch to the edge of the tomb wall to see the reliefs of the five divine birds.

These reliefs are very finely carved, each feather is extremely detailed, and the expression is even more lifelike.

We had already seen those bronze lamp slaves before, but we were not too curious about these totems with the face of birds and bodies, so after one glance, we didn't look at them anymore, and continued to bury our heads forward.

As he walked, Wei Shuangwu suddenly shouted to stop and pointed to a corner of the wall: "Gua Wazi, go and see what is in the corner." ”

I leaned forward with my torch, and the light of the fire reflected a not-so-bright glow on the thing.

"It's a marble! There was blood on it. ”

"It seems that we are not wrong, Xia Jiujiu has been here!" Wei Shuangwu's face was happy.

I squatted on the ground and wanted to reach out to pick it up, but Wei Shuangwu stopped me: "If you still want it, don't touch it!" Who knows if what Xia Jiujiu hit with a slingshot will have poison in the blood! Let's be careful and keep going! ”

"Keep an eye on the ground for me, don't let go of a little bloodstain, this thing is injured, Xiao Xia is very likely to follow it and chase it." Wei Shuangwu opened his mouth and added.

I have to say that Xia Jiujiu is not by our side, Wei Shuangwu immediately became the core of the three of us, he has the most extensive knowledge and experience, and he can indeed be regarded as an excellent leader.

We followed Wei Shuangwu's instructions, walking briskly, while paying attention to the blood stains on the ground, and sure enough, we didn't go far to see some blood stains.

If this bloodstain is placed elsewhere, it is really not easy to see, but the stone path of this underground palace is relatively wet, and it is not easy to evaporate if there is a little blood stain sticking to it.

When the blood stains are illuminated by the firelight, they will naturally reflect the light.

When we encountered a fork in the road, we followed the bloodstains inside, and sure enough, we found the real entrance to the main tomb!

But the strange thing is that we came to the end of the underground palace tomb, there was no trace of Xia Jiujiu, and the bloodstains came to an abrupt end here!

"Damn, are we being tricked? Isn't that bloodstain real? Isn't it that Xia Jiujiu didn't chase the blood trail at all? "We couldn't help but be silent when we saw the two stone doors of the underground palace lord's tomb carved with white jade carved lacquer in front of us.

"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided! Now that we are here, let's go forward and see what the stone gate of the main tomb is, but we must be careful that there are still overheads around our feet, since these two stone doors are not opened, it means that there are only two possibilities! Qian sniffed his nose and poked his torch and said.

"What are the two possibilities?" I'm a little confused.

"This first possibility, that is, Xia Jiujiu came here and found that he couldn't open this door at all, so he had to find another way out. This second possibility is that Xia Jiujiu has never been here at all. Qian Nose said.

"Could there be a third possibility? That is, Xia Jiujiu chased something and ran into the tomb door, what mechanism was triggered, and the door was closed? I looked at the blood on the ground and showed no signs of turning back, and hypothetical.

"It doesn't matter which one it is. Let's take a look! "Wei Shuangwu Dao.

As the three of us walked forward, the dragon oil torch in our hands suddenly became windless. It was as if something had passed us.

"I said Xiaoliang, you hold it steady, beware of throwing the head of the fire down, burning people." Money Nose complained.

I was about to argue, but I saw Wei Shuangwu stretch out his hand and tug the two of us and said, "You two, look, are there three coffins standing in front of this white jade door?" ”

"What are you talking nonsense? Where is the coffin at the door? Qian Nose said dissatisfied.

"Take a closer look!" Wei Shuangwu grabbed Qian Nose's arm and pulled it towards me, and suddenly the fire light was a little deflected towards me.

Under the illumination of the firelight, three shadows suddenly appeared in front of the white jade door.

I looked forward, and sure enough, there were three coffins in front of the door that seemed to be made of the same material.

"Damn, it stands to reason that the tomb guards rarely have coffins, they are all corpses or stone figurines, and most of the numbers are single or a pair, why is there just a coffin in front of the door here, one or three? Could it be that the predecessors have calculated correctly, and the three of us will be here in the future? Did you have a coffin for us? "Qian's nose is a little timid.

Wei Cripple sneered and said, "Don't dream, just the three of us, we are also worthy of lying in this white jade coffin?" Let's go over and see what's famous......"
