Chapter 85: The Ancient Coffin in the Small Courtyard
This small courtyard is located in the middle of nowhere, and the wall where the mark is left is even more in the side direction, and it is even more difficult to find the mark left there.
I don't know what they think. The light in this deep palace is dim, and I may not be able to find the mark on the bright surface, let alone stay in such a remote place.
But fortunately, after swallowing the snake pill, I changed my shotgun and my eyes became thieves, which is not wrong to pass the mark left by the fat head of the canal.
The direction pointed by the arrow is a secluded alley, the alley is lined with tall courtyard walls, it seems that the alley is even darker, from the arrow indicated, Qu Fattou and Ai Shuang they retreated from this alley, but I don't know where the road retreated.
I stood outside the alley and watched the situation inside, but I didn't see any danger.
I didn't hesitate any longer, took a deep breath and slowly walked into the dark alley. The alley is not long, only a few tens of meters away, and soon I walked to the mouth of the alley at the other end.
At the corner of the alley, near the ground, I found a shallow arrow mark.
When I found this mark, I couldn't help but curse in my heart, this dog's fat head really wanted to test Lao Tzu's eyesight when he got the mark to such a secret place? I don't know what the Ai Shuang girl thinks, and she didn't even remind the fat head of the lower ditch to find a good place to find the big noodles left by the mark, and she also messed around.
But I finally found the mark, so after a few curses, I still walked cautiously in the direction indicated by the arrow.
This sign refers to a wide bluestone road, and stone lamps more than one person high stand on each side of the road, or five or six meters.
At first glance, these stone lamps are unique and exquisite. After a closer look, I realized that the carvings on the body of the daring lamp were all terrifying and weird images of gods, ghosts and wild monsters.
Seeing clearly the carved things on the stone lamp, I couldn't help frowning again, even if this Taiji Palace is no longer lifeless, no matter how dark and quiet it is, but it is also a royal palace after all, and it is a bit too weird for such a stone lamp to appear in this Taiji Palace.
And the fact that these stone lamps were placed on the route I was going forward made me murmur in my heart.
However, the mark was left by Qu Fat Man, no matter what, even if the end of this stone road is really like the terrible and strange gods and monsters engraved on the stone lamp, I still have to look for Qu Fat Head and them.
I followed the marks left by the fat head of the canal and walked cautiously, I didn't feel anything when I couldn't see clearly in the dark in this deep palace before.
Now, I can see in the dark before I find out.
It turned out that the darkness in this Tai Chi Palace was far from being as plain as I had imagined before.
In these palace courtyards, there are many things that should not be in the palace.
For example, I have seen coffins more than once......
That's right, it turned out to be a coffin!
The first time I saw the coffin in a small courtyard in the middle of nowhere, I was taken aback.
The courtyard was some distance from the path I was traveling, and I would not have had any interest in it if I had been before, because I would not have been able to see the location of the courtyard from the path I was walking on.
And now my eyes have become very good, and for some reason the gate of the courtyard is not closed, and the black wooden coffin is placed right in the middle of the courtyard, and I can see it at a glance as I walk by.
I had the courage to go into the courtyard and check the coffin, only to see that it was covered with floating dust, and just by looking at it, I knew that it was a thousand-year-old coffin.
There is nothing special about this coffin, the material of the coffin is very ordinary, and it is not expensive at all.
Strangely, there are several gold and silver ornaments placed at the head of the coffin, which seem to be used as funerary objects.
However, apart from the gold and silver ornaments on display, there was nothing else around the coffin, and there was no description of the life of the person who contained it at the head of the coffin.
I can only tell from the gold and silver ornaments that the person who decorated it was probably a woman, and it didn't seem to be too high-status.
This is the imperial palace, and just placing a few small gold and silver ornaments as sacrifices at the head of the coffin is indeed a bit shabby.
I took a cursory look at the coffin, and I didn't want to make a fortune, and I didn't even move the gold and silver jewelry on it.
After all, I'm not a fat head after all, if the goods are here, not to mention the jewelry, I will definitely have to open the coffin and eat a good disaster before it is over.
My heart is not as big as Qu Fat's head, and in this situation, finding the two brothers who came in together is the first thing, including the lovely Ai Shuang girl, of course.
And after finding them, it is more important to find a way to leave this underground deep palace compound, so what about having spare time to take care of this inexplicable coffin?
Besides, this is a thousand-year-old coffin after all. Maybe there's something in there, and I really don't have the guts to open this coffin alone.
So I didn't dare to go out of the air when I looked at the coffin, and I didn't dare to make any violent noise, for fear that if something in the coffin would alarm me again.
After a cursory examination of the coffin, I made sure there was nothing outside the coffin that could pose a danger to me and exited the yard.
As for what's inside the coffin, I don't care either, and I don't want to figure it out.
You can't Chen Hudan and Qu Fattou hide in this coffin.
More is better than less, and this is the principle that I should abide by at this time.
Leaving the secluded courtyard, I continued to follow the marks left by the fat head of the canal.
The marks left by them are always very strangely engraved in places that are not easy to find, and I don't know if they are hiding from being discovered by other "people", or if they are deliberately testing my eyesight and patience.
Of course, the first possibility is more likely, Qu Fattou and Ai Shuang must have been hiding from something else to find the mark they left behind, that is, it is likely that they were being followed and pursued by something else when they fled.
And what could be tracking them? Could it be the three-headed corpse?
Those three-headed corpses have kept me restrained in the small courtyard, and they won't catch up with the fat head of the canal so quickly, right?
Or is it not just the three-headed corpse here? Ai Shuang said that the three-headed corpse was the guard of the Taiji Palace.
There won't be only one guard in this palace. It is likely that there are other three-headed corpses that exist.
The three-headed corpse itself has no intelligence at all, and it is necessary to have an IQ to find the mark left by the fat head, so it seems that Qu Fat Head is probably avoiding something like a yin child.
Either way, all of this shows that Qu Fat Head and Ai Shuang are in danger!
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but speed up my progress
