Chapter 466: The Temple in the Coffin Array
The three of them crept towards the coffins like thieves, my right hand still holding a halberd, and my left hand holding a fireball. No way, after all, we don't have the ability of that skinless dude, we can grow a pair of arms out of our stomachs, we can have a relatively wide area of light source, and we can also free up our hands to get more things. Now Jing'er is Ingram M10 in her right hand, glutinous rice in her left hand, Lao Gu's right-handed sapper shovel, and glutinous rice in her left hand. To say that Jing'er's marksmanship is really good, she smashed a head and two small octopuses, and only used half a magazine, so I was relieved to give her two more magazines.
The three of them walked to the outermost part of the coffin array, these coffins seemed to be placed according to the direction of the gossip, and we found an entrance opposite the birth gate, and then walked in.
It was still me who took the lead, but when I stepped into the coffin array for the first time, the two coffins on the left and right suddenly "clanged" twice, and the coffin board was lifted from the inside, and then, two withered corpses stood up from the coffin. He looked at me stunned.
My hands were clutching the halberd, and I didn't know what was going on, but they just stood up, and didn't attack me, they just stood like two statues. What's going on?
The two corpses, judging from the clothes, should be soldiers, there is still a sword in the scabbard at the waist, but the hand is empty, seeing the things on these two corpses, I found that the old Gu's eyes lit up obviously, but soon it dimmed again, it is estimated that he was an occupational criminal when he was a tomb robber before, and he wanted to do it when he saw good things, but he thought that he had said that the owner of this tomb should not be desecrated, and dispelled that thought.
Jing'er pointed the muzzle of the gun at the head of a corpse, but I waved at her, signaling her not to act rashly yet. After all, these corpses did not show any intent to attack, and if they were provoked by a rash attack, it would be worth the loss.
Standing in place, waiting for a full three minutes, the two corpses were still motionless, I took a deep breath, took another step forward, "boom" twice, the lids of the two coffins were lifted, and the two corpses stood up.
"How do I feel, like a guard of honor?" While spitting out, he took a third step forward, and two more corpses stood up.
"Honor guard? I understand! Lao Gu suddenly slapped his thigh in the back, "I see, I understand what they're doing!" ”
"Professor Gu, they are ......" Jing'er looked at Lao Gu with an inquiring eye.
"Xiao Shen is right, it's the honor guard, look at what Xiao Shen is holding in his right hand." After listening to Lao Gu's words, I looked down at the hook halberd in my right hand, and saw that the hook halberd was emitting a faint white light as it usually was. "I said before, this thing of yours is probably the guy who is close to Ran Tianwang, these soldiers all followed Ran Tianwang when they were alive, and now they have seen Ran Tianwang's weapons, so they get up one by one, it can be regarded as a welcome or a tribute."
"So there's no danger going to be on this stretch?" Jing'er put down her gun and took a step forward, but as soon as she took that step, she saw two soldiers raise their hands and press them on the hilt of their swords.
"Come back!" Lao Gu grabbed Jing'er's arm and dragged her back. As Jing'er withdrew, the hands of the two corpses drooped down and returned to their previous positions.
"Cousin, this is clearly a differential treatment, you were fine in the past, we were tense in the past, which general didn't bring a few retinues, are these guys so inflexible?" Jing'er, who was dragged back, pouted and looked at the corpses of the two soldiers angrily.
"Maybe it's a matter of distance, maybe they're thinking of you as my enemies." I walked back to Jing'er and Lao Gu's side, "You two tugging at the corners of my clothes, let's try again." As I said, the two men grabbed me by the corners of my clothes and walked over, and sure enough, the soldiers did not draw their swords from their waists, but silently maintained an upright posture.
The coffin in the center of the cave was arranged in the shape of a bagua array, and it was like a maze to walk, at first we couldn't find the direction at all, after walking through a few forks, Jing'er, who kept looking around because of her curiosity, found something unusual - every time we came to a fork, there would be a corpse in a posture of raising a hand, Jing'er asked me to try to follow the direction pointed by the corpse, I tried, and sure enough, after seven or eight turns, we entered the interior of the entire coffin array.
Inside the coffin array, there is a space of about 200 square meters, in the middle of this space, is a magnificent temple, that is, the kind of temple that enshrines the statues of gods, but the strange thing is that such an imposing hall, when we were outside before, we didn't even see it when we were about to walk out of the coffin array. Looking inside from the outside, it's just an open space.
"It's amazing, cousin, it seems to have come out of nowhere." Jing'er looked at this hall and couldn't help but sigh.
"It should be some kind of blinding method caused by the ancient formation, you can't see anything outside, you can only see it after you come in. But Jing girl, I think you should pay more attention to the layout of this building and the decoration on the doors and windows, rather than the fact that it pops up out of thin air, after all, you are an archaeologist, not a tourist. The old man raised his face, and really took out the appearance of an associate professor and lectured Jing'er a few words.
Jing'er stuck out her tongue after hearing this, but she didn't show any remorse, she just hugged my arm and shook it twice, "Cousin, do you say that it is only the Ran Tianwang you said is enshrined in it, will there also be the Jade Emperor or something?" Also, will there be a few beauties next to Ran Tianwang, such as the queen or something? ”
"Less nymphomaniac, you, I've watched too many court dramas recently, how can there be an offering......" Before I finished speaking, I felt a slight shaking from under my feet, and immediately turned my head to look at the hall on the side, but I heard a "boom" sound in my ears coming from outside. The smile that had been hanging on his face froze.
The direction in which the sound came from was the direction of the "injury" door that we had just come out, and although the three of us came out, there was still a blind man who didn't know where he was. Could this loud noise be a blind man......
"Cousin, Brother Zhang Qin, he ......"
"It's okay, the blind man will be fine." I patted Jing'er on the shoulder, signaling her to feel at ease, in fact, I was playing a drum in my own heart, "Maybe it was the whack-a-mole place we walked before, and there were stones that we didn't trigger and fell, such a big guy, it's normal to make a sound, the blind man can serve the ghost now, and it will be fine." Certain. ”
"Alright, let's get down to business." Lao Gu saw our worries, deliberately changed the topic, and took the lead towards the door of the main hall, "Let's go, let's go and see the offerings in the main hall." ”
Jing'er and I nodded and followed. Inside the main hall. Very concise, in the middle, is a statue of a rugged man, the man sits on the red dragon horse, his left hand holds a double-edged spear, his right hand holds the hook halberd while pulling the reins, the red dragon horse hoofs are raised, making a more than a majestic posture under the demonstration, the body of the rough man's killing spirit set off vividly. No need to ask, this person is Ran Min, the king of martial mourning.
In front of Ran Tianwang, Wen Dong and Wu Xi are lined up on both sides, it is worth noting that some of these civil and military ministers are clay sculptures, and some are dry corpses that describe withering. These dried corpses should have been buried after the mausoleum was built, or committed suicide after the country was broken, and the corpses were preserved.
On the wall behind the statue, the murals are painted, the content of the murals is first the foreign tribe killing my descendants of Yan and Huang, and then the Emperor Ran Min seized Zhao Jiye as the emperor, leading the Han people to take revenge, and finally the Emperor Ran Min was defeated and killed, thousands of miles of drought and locust plague everywhere, and the scene of being chased and mourned by the king of heaven and snow.
However, this place looks like a very ordinary temple, and Jing'er and I searched for it, but we didn't find any doors to go down to.
"Old Gu, look, did you guess wrong before, this is the tomb of King Ran." After searching to no avail, I set my sights on the corpses of the ministers. "Look at these dried corpses, could it be that the bones of Ran Tianwang are in that statue on horseback?"
"This ...... It's not impossible. But...... I always feel that when buried, there should be a formal coffin, although for a general, the horse leather shroud is a very common thing, but the ancients paid attention to the burial after all. Forget it, you first look for the Heavenly King's Decree that you are looking for. Anyway, that's the only thing you're looking for, and if you find it, we don't have to continue. After speaking, Lao Gu didn't care about us, and walked to the statue of Ran Tianwang with a spear on his own.
In front of the statue, there is a futon, which was supposed to be goose yellow, but after about 1,700 years of baptism, it has accumulated a thick layer of dust. For the dust, Lao Gu didn't care at all, first put his hands together on the statue and hung his head slightly, then knelt on the futon and bowed deeply.
There was a clear "crunch" sound from the statue, and as soon as I turned around, I saw the red dragon pony that had been raised by human power smashing down as if it could not stand. "Old Gu!" According to the fall trajectory of the red dragon horse, the two hooves will just hit Lao Gu's back! I didn't expect that there would be a mechanism in this place!
But Lao Gu, who was under the horse, didn't pay any attention to what was happening on his body, and just lay there motionless, as if he wanted to be martyred for King Ran Tian like those ministers!
Old! Brother Gu! Gu Ye! Let's not worship idols like this, okay!
