In comparison, the number and light are extremely strange to the "Immortal Candle", after all, there is no sound of nails scratching metal in the bronze coffin, and the scratching sound is particularly prominent and harsh in the oppressive underground space.

I hurriedly said to the fat man: "Although the function of the bronze mirror is unknown, it is very likely to be used to suppress the ancient corpse in the copper coffin, you quickly give it to me, and I will go back and try it first, and see if it can still work." ”

The fat man handed the bronze mirror to me, I took the bronze mirror, and asked the fat man and Shirley Yang to ignore the "immortal candle" that had just been lit up over there, and immediately wait by the three candles.

I thought to myself: "This time I'm going to cheat first, this time the relationship between the Ming weapon is heavy, I have to take it, anyway, the rule of 'the rooster cries and the lights don't touch the gold', we haven't broken it, the ancestor has a spirit in the sky, and most of them will understand our hardships, fuck, who let us make a few of our crafts a little more trendy, and luck is a little bit back?" ”

We were divided into two groups, I was alone, hurried to the bronze coffin, holding the "wolf eye" flashlight, a little look, the bronze coffin side, there is a circular groove, should be embedded in the position of the copper mirror, but has been the fat man with a sapper shovel to pry a large piece, I was the sound from the coffin, stirred up, where dare to have a little delay, hurriedly put the copper mirror face inward, pressed in.

As soon as I left my hand, the bronze mirror immediately fell to the ground, because there was a gap, the original shallow groove, it was even more difficult to hang the heavy copper mirror, I quickly picked it up, re-embedded it into the bronze coffin, and held it firmly with my hand, but this is not a thing, I can't just keep pressing.

It's strange to say, as soon as the bronze mirror is embedded in the bronze coffin, the sound of scratching the metal inside immediately stopped, it seems that as I expected, the bronze mirror is mostly a magic weapon used to "suppress the corpse", each family has always had its own law, I only know how to deal with zombies by the "touch the gold captains", as for the means of those Taoists and other families, but they don't understand at all, but it doesn't matter, as long as the corpse does not change, thank God.

I was in a hurry, first I turned back to Shirley Young, asked her to relight the three candles, and then rummaged through the bag, remembering that there was tape, but I said that I couldn't find anything, there was a small packet of American chewing gum, I thought to myself that the tape was not, and I made up with this. At the moment, he stuffed it all into his mouth, chewed it wildly, and then pasted it into the place where the gap met the bronze mirror, and beat it twice with his hand, and then let it go, although it was not as firm as the original before, it was enough to deal with it for a while.

The candles on Shirley Yang and the fat man's side have all been lit, and I went over to meet them and said to them: "The candle was extinguished just now, and the flame was gone without even shaking, which shows that the ancient corpses in the tomb are not ordinarily powerful, and when it was not dark, we saw a black pig crossing the river outside, and the strange signs of the rain marquis violating the realm, which all indicate that the corpse here is angry, and it is by no means an ordinary corpse monster." ”

The fat man said, "Isn't that the zongzi in the bronze coffin?" Since it has been suppressed by the bronze mirror, it doesn't hurt. ”

I shook my head and said, "Not necessarily, what's in this bronze coffin, it's hard to draw conclusions before you look at it, and don't forget, this bronze mirror has never been touched except for being pried off by you just now, and Tianzhao has been so abnormal before, so I want to ...... I'm afraid there is something else hidden in this tomb, anyway, don't give me anything to do, and when we find the dust beads, no one will stop you as much as you want. ”

The fat man disagreed: "Why am I tossing blindly?" We are tired of dirty work along the way, but I am rushing to do it, the eyes of the masses are bright, I have always been a hard-working old scalper, Commander Hu, if you always slander me like this, then I will have to raise my eyebrows and point coldly at Qianfu, bow my head and be willing to be a son of a cow. ”

I couldn't help but laugh and said: "My Commander Wang, for the sake of the party-state, can you also stop for a while, why didn't I find out before, you are quite good at beautifying yourself, but does Ruzi Niu have so much meat from you?" You are a fat cow, don't talk to me now, the most important thing for us is to go and see what is going on with the three new immortal candles, his grandmother's, how many corpses are there in this palm-sized tomb? ”

After I finished speaking, I took the fat man and Shirley Yang, passed between the three sets of demon coffins, and came to the "immortal candles" lined up, where there are three copper pillars embedded in the tomb wall, but there are no lamps made of "black-scaled sharks" here, and the materials of these three "immortal candles" are far more terrifying than the hideous six mermaid lamps.

This is three obese boys about eleven or twelve years old, made of the appearance of "leading the boy", the posture of the "leading boy" is the same as that of the mermaid, and it is also made to kneel and bow down, bow his head and close his eyes, his demeanor is very peaceful, and the wick is placed at the navel, and a long stretch of it is poked out, and the belly of the "leading boy" is connected with the copper pillar behind him.

But these ointments may have been running out as early as a thousand years ago, and the wick was extinguished early soon after the closure of the underground palace, and at this time, as the air gradually entered the depths of the tomb, the remaining ointment on the three "leading boy" lamps burned again after two thousand years, but it would not be long before the residual lamp oil was exhausted, and it should be completely extinguished forever.

Shirley Yang sighed: "Gandhi of India once pointed out the seven deadly sins of destroying mankind, two of which are politics without morality, science without humanity, and these children have thus become victims of the immortal spring dream of the ancient emperors......"

I said to Shirley Yang: "The burial of boys and girls was very common before the Ming Dynasty, and it was rare after Hongwu, and I have seen it several times, which shows that the closer the era is to modern times, the more the dream of becoming immortal and immortal is considered hopeless by the world." ”

The fat man held the "wolf eye" flashlight, looked back and forth on the three "leading boys", looked at it for a while, turned his head and said to me: "Commander Hu, take a look, this kid is still holding a sign in his hand, what does the word on it mean?" ”

I squatted down and looked at the position that the fat man said, and sure enough, each of the "leading boys" was made into a hard iron sheet, and each held a bronze medal with four ancient characters written on it, it didn't know me, and I didn't know it, so I had to let Shirley Yang identify it.

Shirley Yang half-knelt on the ground, looked at it with a flashlight, and said that these four words were "Receiving Immortals and Attracting Saints".

I nodded and said: "I dare to assert this, it is exactly the same as the legend, these three living immortal candles, that is, the guiding boys, are the brand-holding boys who lead the way for those who become immortals, probably the role of the messenger, and the old thief who sacrifices the king is also thoughtful, but after all, it is still a form of 'immortal candle', is there really nine corpses in this tomb?" I can't count that much. ”

Shirley Young stood up, took a few steps to the side, turned to me and said, "There are more than nine. There is also one of the largest candles of immortality...... But because it was so big, it couldn't light up anymore. ”

The fat man and I walked to Shirley Yang's side, and sure enough, I saw a pure black copper lamp ten times larger than the merman's immortal candle, the copper lamp caused the shape of a big bull's head, vigorous and simple, because the wick was too heavy, it had fallen to the ground, for the number of immortal candles and the number of tomb owners equal to the number of mausoleum systems, I am absolutely sure that it is 1:1, and why are there ten "immortal candles" in this underground palace? Even if the three "leading boys" may not be counted, there are still seven.

What other important people's bodies are here? Except for the princess, the rest of the important ministers should be buried in the tomb at a certain distance from here, who are the ten bones? I can't figure it out.

Shirley Yang also said that it was difficult to understand, only the fat man said: "What's all the fuss about, probably because he has more wives, let's not seep into it, hurry up and get rich, and it is the top priority to fight and touch the gold." How many corpses there are, open the coffin and count them, and naturally it is clear. ”

I said to the fat man: "It is really rare that you also have a time when you are also sensible, it seems that in the long-term and difficult and complicated environment of struggle, you have finally begun to mature. If you want to be at home, let's rush this, and we should also eat a meal of noodles. ”

We originally planned to open the most valuable coffin first, but after a little consideration, we felt that the three coffins had to be opened anyway, so we should choose the most ferocious bronze coffin to start first, fight a tough battle first, gnaw off the hardest bone, and the rest will be easy to deal with, even if there are real zombies, as long as you are prepared in advance, you can also ensure that you are safe, if the dignified "Touching the Golden Captain" is scared away by the corpse that has not yet undergone corpse transformation, I am afraid that it will also make people laugh when they say it.

The bronze hanging coffin, not less than one meter above the ground, and the height of the coffin was nearly two meters, and it was a behemoth, which was tied several turns with chains, reinforced with nine-fold locks, and hung on the top floor of the tomb with sixteen large copper rings, which may have been connected by a load-bearing copper beam.

Shirley Young told me: "The bronze coffin was hanging in the air, and it was difficult to open it, so you had to find a way to lower it to the ground. ”

I raised the flashlight and shone it upwards, touching Captain Jin's "corpse net" and "corpse rope", which really couldn't be used in mid-air, so I had to go up first, remove those copper rings, and let them fall, so that although it was possible to break the copper coffin, I couldn't think of a better way for a while.

So I climbed up with the claws of the flying tiger, on this huge bronze coffin, I could no longer stand up straight, as soon as I looked up, the mountaineering helmet hit the top of the tomb, I had to bend down slightly, and a little walking, the bronze coffin shook a little, the copper ring made a dull metal sound, but the copper ring chain was very strong, not easy to break it, I held down a few times on it, trying to see if I could use my own weight, the copper ring was broken.

As soon as I stepped on it, I heard a hard and crisp sound above my head, and the breaking sound gradually expanded, my heart was not good, it seems that it has been hanging too much in this year, several stress points of fatigue dù, have been exhausted to the lamp, the chain is not broken, the copper beam above is about to break first, hurriedly let the shirley Yang and the fat man below dodge, so as not to be smashed, and he immediately turned over and rolled down from the air.

There are two thousand pounds of copper coffin did not last long, hanging a copper ring first fell off from the copper beam, the rest of the force point is naturally difficult to support, immediately smashed down from above, this time naturally deafening, the ground shook the mountain, but did not expect the bronze coffin to be on the ground of the tomb, smashed a big hole, down came a few sound of the collapse of the rotten wood, the bronze coffin on the ground also stayed for a moment, and sank into the hole smashed by it.

The three of us hurried over to look at the ground, only to see that under the cracked tomb bricks, there were pitch-black square trees, each of which had the thickness of an adult's body, and it was densely built, but it was very eroded by sewage, and it had rotted to the point of being very strict.

I immediately threw down a cold fireworks, suddenly in front of me, there is a bucket room built with square wood below, very low and narrow, in addition to the copper coffin that fell, there is a very special coffin next to it, with a faint fluorescence, not like the worldly things at all, we are in the tomb under the floor tiles, and the following square wood in the interlayer, a very thick layer of lime, have become white mud, the environment below is wet and damp, the smell of wet and rotten rot rushed up.

Although I wore a mask, I still felt slightly suffocated, covered my nose and said to the fat man and Shirley Yang: "It turns out that the old thief of the king is hiding in the front of this brick tomb, this is a tomb similar to a wooden coffin (or wrapping) tomb, I didn't expect to be smashed by a heavy bronze coffin, revealed, otherwise it is really not easy to find, some people say that this is a coincidence, but I think this is fate, his dust beads, not out of this moment, must be in our bag." ”

The fat man picked up a bronze mirror from the ground and said to me, "Commander Hu, you don't have a strong mirror to stick to......"

I was stunned at first, thinking that this time it was a big trouble, and I forgot about the bronze mirror, and took a look, fortunately it was not damaged, as long as I put it back again, but I looked down at the wooden coffin tomb again, and I couldn't help but cry bitterly, the chain that locked the coffin was broken, and most of the nine heavy locks fell off, and the lid of the copper coffin ...... also fell away, and in the trance light, there seemed to be several unimaginably long "nails" poking out of the gaps, which could be regarded as crooked, and there was indeed another corpse in the underworld.

I knew that the situation was not good, and I was going to set up a device to ambush the zombies first, and then open the bronze coffin, but no one expected that there was a chain in this tomb, and there was a wooden tomb hidden underneath, and the force of the bronze coffin falling down was too great, so the chain and heavy lock were loosened, and the mysterious bronze mirror also fell. If the ancient corpses inside crawl out first, the situation will take a sharp turn for us up, but it will be very unfavorable.

At this time, my blood was surging, and I had no time to think about it, so I took the bronze mirror and shouted to the fat man and Shirley Young, "Get the tape out!" As he spoke, he jumped into the wooden coffin below (the burial chamber made of wood is called a wooden coffin, not the coffin of a coffin as it is commonly said).

As soon as I landed, I almost twisted my foot and neck, and the rectangular thick wood was already rotten, and when I stepped on it, I sank into a piece, and black water suddenly rose up. The cold smoke was still burning, and in the firelight, I saw that in the gap of the copper coffin, there was a layer of cold wooden coffin board, and the lid of the coffin board had broken two large holes, from which several long circles of nails were exposed, and those nails were all white and very sharp; Because it was so long, the nails were bent, and the sound we heard in the burial chamber was made by the nails scratching the lid of the copper coffin.

I didn't care about the pain in my ankles, and I didn't want to carefully appreciate the shape of the nails, so I immediately picked up the bronze mirror in my hand, pressed it into the groove behind the copper coffin, and jumped on the lid of the bronze coffin.

Shirley Yang jumped into the coffin and handed me a roll of duct tape, she was half a step too late to see what was in the coffin, so she asked me, "What's inside?" ”

I pressed the tape to the bronze mirror layer by layer, and said to her, "What else could there be, it was nothing more than a walking corpse, I don't know why this bronze mirror could stop it, it seemed that as soon as it was taken away, its nails grew rapidly." ”

The fat man also jumped down, and when he heard my words, he immediately said, "I know that this mirror is a good thing, and when we retreat, find a way to follow it, and resolutely not leave a single grass or tree to the enemy." ”

I saw that the bronze coffin was re-contained, and it was expected that there would be no major problem for the time being, and I looked up at the upper tomb, which was full of black rotten wood coffins, with a height of less than three meters, and the water seepage inside was very strict, and the moisture was choking. Originally, I wanted the fat man to stay on top to answer, but it looks like below. If anything goes wrong, it's not a problem to climb up directly. And to open the coffin below, the three of them can have a care together, so they said to the fat man and Shirley Yang: "There is a coffin in the corner of the wooden coffin, and I don't know if it is used to decorate the king. ”

In order to facilitate movement, we all turned on the tactical spotlights on the mountaineering helmets, only to see that the coffin was pressed by a few fallen square logs, and I was most worried that these rotten woods would collapse at any time, burying us alive below, so I started to find two or three of the collapsed woods, which were still strong, and propped them up next to the gap that was smashed by the bronze coffin, so as to bear the load.

When I was working, I thought: these square pieces of wood, also known as "wooden fangs". Originally, it was layered and built into a structure, which seemed very tight, and it was rotten to such an extent that it should be a yellow intestine-colored "wooden fang", which became pitch black and rotten. It is said that this "Tomb of the Sacrifice King" is a fairy cave that is round and mellow, how can this kind of cave be eroded into this way, and there is a corpse that is so angry that there is a black star omen of "black pig crossing the heavenly river", and no matter what, it is very unreasonable to have the ancient corpse with signs of corpse change in the bronze coffin, it seems that the deepest part of this thousand-year-old tomb must be hiding something terrifying.

With our rapid cleaning, the ancient coffin covered by the rotten wood gradually appeared, I wiped off the residue and muddy water of the rotten wood with my hands, the blue fluorescence on the ancient coffin was more obvious, the whole coffin was smooth like a mirror, like a piece of blue ice from the depths of the ice sea, shining with a charming luster, the fat man praised repeatedly: "his grandmother, why is this coffin more valuable than the other, this ...... What is this made of? Is it jade? Crystal? Or ice? "After that, I stroked it again and again, and I couldn't put it down.

I shook my head and said, "I don't know, when I was a sapper, I dug for so many years, and when the geological survey team visited, I couldn't count the number of ore chips, but I had never seen this kind of stone, it didn't seem to be ice, except that it was very slippery, it was not cold." ”

Shirley Yang was attracted by this strange ancient coffin, and he always looked at it carefully, and then he said: "It is a blue stone essence rock, or a variant of crystal, which can only be formed in underground superimposed caves. ”

The stone spirit is recorded in the ancient books, it is a stone only in the valley near the underworld, it is said that there is a kind of stone mill made of stone spirit in hell, all the people who are extremely evil, after falling into the netherworld, they will inevitably be crushed by the stone mill, there is a black dog in the ground, waiting to stick out his tongue to lick the meat sauce that has been crushed, and the remaining minced meat will turn into flies, mosquitoes, and be beaten by people in the world, and there will never be a day of transcendence.

Of course, it is a superstitious legend, but one thing is certain, although this blue "stone spirit" is dazzling, but this thing is not very auspicious, and it is not suitable as a coffin, let alone used to hold the bones of nobles.

It seems that this is definitely a "ghost coffin" from the netherworld, what is the purpose of it? Why is hidden in the gloomy and damp wooden coffin under the tomb, the "wooden coffin" that is not sealed or not the tree is very common around the Western Zhou Dynasty, but in the Qin and Han dynasties, it has been rarely used, we have found ten "immortal candles" in the tomb, the bones in the "ghost coffin" in front of us, will it be one of the corresponding ten corpses? There are so many questions that I don't have a clue at all.

Shirley Yang looked at the bronze coffin behind him and said, "The coffins in the king's tomb are extremely rare, and people are puzzled; The more this is the case, the more it feels like walking on ice in the abyss, and we must find a breakthrough point to completely uncover the secrets buried in the tomb of King Xian. ”

I said to Shirley Yang and the fat man: "It is better to break one of his fingers than to hurt his ten fingers, then take various methods to break them, see the coffin to rise to the coffin, see the wealth and make a fortune, let's do it, hang up the stumbling rope, and see if this ghost coffin is a sacrifice to the king." ”

The fat man immediately rolled up his arms and sleeves: "I am too good at these hooks to raise the coffin and make a fortune, so I often practice in my sleep, I am not afraid of a thousand tricks, I am afraid of a trick, you two go to install the stumbling rope, the work of opening the coffin, the fat man will be all covered by himself." ”

I patted the fat man on the shoulder: "Good Commander Wang, the vicissitudes of the sea, show the true character of a hero, but remember, with a red heart, you must prepare with both hands, and beware of corpse mutation while touching the weapon, both hands must be grasped, both hands must be hard, in addition, there is corpse gas in the coffin in ancient times, remember to check the gas mask in advance, and don't keep up with the ...... in the Northeast. Forgot to wear gloves. ”

After I instructed the fat man, I split up and found three red ropes soaked in cinnabar, Shirley Yang was always curious about zombies, so he asked me: "Old Hu, why are zombies afraid of red cinnabar." ”

I said to Shirley Yang: "This kind of thing has to ask the blind fortune teller to know, I don't know very well, but I estimate that cinnabar is useless, this principle is, use a rope to block the coffin, the corpse inside is stiff and can't bend, arms and legs can't be lifted, so it can't come out, I've only encountered a corpse that has been put down by the charm before, and I don't know which one is more powerful than the zombie, but it seems that today we must have to take a picture with the zombie, because we will open the bronze coffin later, As for whether there are zombies in the ghost coffin in front of you, it's hard to say, in short, let's be prepared and stop it in advance. ”

As I spoke, I had prepared the "stumbling rope", Shirley Yang according to the position of the two coffins in the "wooden coffin", lit two candles in the corner, I raised my hand to the fat man, and the fat man immediately used a sharp "probing claw" to scrape off the red lacquer sealed at the interface of the "ghost coffin", the dark blue "ghost coffin" material is a rare special stone, if you want to classify, you can classify it together with the jade coffin and so on as a sarcophagus, this sarcophagus has no coffin nails, all stone mortise and tenon are closed, touch the "probe claw" of the golden captain, It's like a versatile Swiss Army knife, one end is specially designed for drawing stone tenons.

"Ghost coffin" has a total of seven mortise and tenon joints, one on the head, three on each side, the bottom is not, the fat man is very happy, one after another, in a moment, the coffin lid is pried open, and there is a layer of fish glue under the coffin cover, which has long been dead, and can only use the "probe claw" needle, reach into it and grind it a little bit.

In the end, I only heard the fat man shout, "Come on." "I and Shirley Yang waited for the opportunity on the side, saw that it was almost, so I immediately put three cinnabar "stumbling ropes", stopped on the coffin, the coffin lid opened, the visibility in the "wooden coffin", did not see the drop, which means that there is no corpse gas in the coffin, I said in my heart strange, there are no bones in it, or the structure of the ghost coffin is not strict, the filth after the autopsy has dissipated along the coffin cracks, I quickly went to see the "ghost coffin" inside.

At a glance, he put his mind at ease, there was indeed the body of the coffin owner, there was a male corpse lying flat in the coffin, below the neck, wrapped in white brocade, only the head could be seen, the corpse was relatively well preserved, and even the facial muscles did not collapse and atrophy, it is not an exaggeration to say that it was lifelike, but his death was really terrifying, the two eye sockets were deeply sunk in, forming two black and red holes, the eyeballs had been removed, and due to the lack of eyes in the facial features, it looked extremely terrifying.

I was about to take a closer look, but the fat man had used the "haunting rope" to put the coffin master's head on the head, pulled him up from the coffin, raised his hand to open the bow left and right, and slapped the dead body seven or eight times.

Shirley Yang and I were stupid, thinking that this fat guy had taken another step, could it be that he had fallen into evil? Quickly stop him and ask him what he wants to do.

The fat man's face was covered with a gas mask, and I couldn't see his face, but I heard him ask inexplicably: "Haven't you seen it yet?" ”
