Chapter 340: The Stone Chamber and the Coffin
"Brother Shen, come and see here." When I jumped up and down looking for the tomb door, Xia Xiang was not idle, and walked around looking for the tomb door. I jumped off the dirt bag and walked to the dilapidated house where he was, only to see him holding a small piece of red cloth in his hand. I hurriedly took out the handkerchief I picked up before and compared it with the red cloth in front of me, it was obvious that the color and texture of these two pieces of cloth were almost the same, which means that this piece was also left by Sister Yixin?
"Where did you find it?"
"Right at the door of this house." Xia Xiang replied.
Doorway...... I circled around the wreckage of the hut and walked in the doorway. Speaking of which, the house is in ruins, but the collapsed roof is not in the house, it seems that someone has cleaned it out, and the broken tables and chairs and rotten beds can still be seen in the house.
"Don't move." I raised my hand to stop Xia Xiang's imminent departure. The house was already dilapidated, naturally not clean, and there was a lot of dirt on the ground, just where Xia Xiang was about to settle down, there was a mark on the soil that was about ten centimeters longer and nearly square, which seemed very abrupt. I continued to search the ground around me, and finally found that there were exactly four seals that had been pressed down in this way, and if I sketched them together, the shape looked ...... The only thing in the broken house that fits that shape is the bed! The imprint should be four feet of the bed.
In such a dilapidated house, will anyone come to move the bed and play? Will you move back after moving? Of course not, then the only answer is that the bed is weird.
"Xiao Xia, come and move this bed with me." Greeted Xia Xiang, the two of them worked together to move out the broken bed that was almost falling apart, in order to be safe, I also deliberately let the four corners of the broken bed press on the previous four marks. It may be that there is a broken bed to cover it, but the bluestone slab floor under the bed is not covered by mud, and the most complete stone slab has a few white scratches. The beast touched the scratch, and when it raised its hand, it was still stained with white stone dust on its fingers. This scratch is fresh, it should be left last night, that is, we have found the tomb door.
"Brother Shen, this is the legendary tomb mechanism, do you think that as soon as we open this door, a lot of poisonous arrows will be shot from inside?" Although Xia Xiang said this, he didn't stop his hand, fumbling around the walls, trying to find the mechanism to open the door. There were scratches on the bluestone slab, and it was obvious that it was a tomb door that needed to be opened by a mechanism. "I remember that I watched "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" and "Notes on Tomb Robbery" both described the ancient tombs as dangerous, Brother Shen, if we go down, did you bring pangolin claws and black donkey hooves or something?"
"You've read too many novels." I felt a bunch of black lines on my head, and black donkey hooves, I have never seen a live donkey when I am so big, but I have eaten donkey meat by fire. "The climate in Xiangxi is humid, and the crossbow arrows are all fired by the machine spring, and for more than a hundred years, the machine spring has rusted into a red iron lump, and it can shoot a fart." That being said, but if you really want to go in, you still have to be careful, this stone door is also opened with a mechanism, and since the stone door can be opened, there should still be some mechanisms inside that can be used.
"Click", Xia Xiang has been looking for the mechanism button on the surrounding walls, but he didn't expect that he stepped on a stone, and the stone immediately collapsed, and then, a whole buzzing sound came, and the stone slab on the ground slowly converged into the direction of the wall, revealing a stone staircase below that I didn't know where it led. At the same time as the hole opened, a wind blew out of it, cold and damp, but it didn't give people a feeling of stuffiness, I was worried at first I didn't bring live chickens or anything, how to test the air quality inside, now it seems that it can be saved.
"You wait up there first, I'll go down and have a look." Alas, I usually read few tomb robbery novels, I have no experience in tomb robbing, and I forgot to prepare a living creature to explore the path, but looking back, it is quite cruel to throw the chickens and ducks down to play suffocation, and I have experienced the things in the grove, even if I bring the chickens and ducks who are exploring the path, I don't know if I can do it. I didn't say it, I can only explore it myself, at least this stone door was opened last night, and there is wind inside, and the air at the door should not be very bad. Take 10,000 steps back, I went down and was suffocated, and Gui Die and Xiao Shi, who didn't need to breathe, could still save me.
"Then Brother Shen, be careful." Xia Xiang said, took out a flashlight from his backpack and handed it to me, then took out a candle and a box of matches, "I think you should still light a candle." ”
"It's okay, brother has a wax-free plug-in." Took out the cow tears from the bag and wiped them on the eyelids again, and wiped a little more for Xia Xiang, ordinary people wiping cow tears can only let them see ghosts, we eat yin and yang rice and have a little mana to wipe the cow tears in addition to seeing ghosts, you can also see things in the dark, it feels a bit like a night vision device. Yin and Yang EyesYin Yang Eyes, you can't see things in the shadows, what are you called Yin and Yang Eyes? Walk down the stairs step by step, the air quality is actually not bad, the yin in the wind makes me feel very comfortable, of course, that is, my special physique will feel very comfortable, if I fly down in the summer, it is estimated that it will freeze into a whole bar.
Under the stairs, there is a stone room, not big, only about 20 meters, in the middle of the stone room, there is a red coffin. Come to think of it, this is the coffin of the general's wife that the old woman said. However, it seems that something is wrong, in the tomb, the coffin of the lady is not far away, even if it is not with the coffin of the tomb owner, and in the side room next to it, I have never heard of a tomb where the wife of the tomb owner guards the door.
Walking near the coffin, I suddenly felt something under my feet and looked down, but it was some pieces of cloth that had faded to a gray color, and there was more than one, there were many of these pieces of cloth scattered around the coffin, what was going on? Could it be that there is a super muscular man who is enthusiastically playing with a popping suit next to the coffin, and then leaves this thing behind? Well, that's a bit of nonsense.
The lid of the coffin is hidden, I took out the Mysano-Chigomuramasa, pushed the end of the coffin lid with my left hand, pushed it away, and the tip of the knife followed the hand, once the things in the coffin were going to burst out and hurt people, then the first thing to meet must be the sharp blade of the village.
The coffin lid was pushed open, fortunately, nothing came out of it, the coffin lid was not covered, even if there was filth inside, there was not much accumulation, I leaned to the side and looked inside, but saw that there was a complete white bone lying inside, and there was no wisp of cloth or anything like that around the white bone, could it be that this lady was sent here after her death, and then met a necrophile who coveted her beauty, and ran in JIAN's corpse? The pieces of cloth next to the coffin were not left by some big man in explosive clothes, but a guy who loved corpses tore them from the female corpse?
"Brother Shen, is it safe down there?" Xia Xiang's voice came from Shimen, as if he wanted to come down and take a look.
"It's nothing, you can come down and take a look, it's just going to be a little cold for you." To be honest, I don't plan to take him too far, after all, he is not a yin like a blind man, nor is he a martial arts master like Bai Bing, and he is not even mature enough in his thinking, but this kid is not bad-hearted, and he wants to learn, and in time, he may be able to make a difference in this industry, but it is still a little too early to let him face these things head-on.
With my approval, Xia Xiang quickly ran down with a flashlight, his ability to see in the dark is extremely poor, this is related to his own cultivation, my cultivation is not high, but I am full of yin qi, so I can see more clearly, he must use the flashlight. Seeing me standing next to the coffin, Xia Xiang also came over and looked inside with great interest. "Hey, Brother Shen, what do you think that's that?" Under the light of the flashlight, between the pelvic bones of the skeleton, there was a faint trace of golden light reflected, I wrapped the handkerchief dropped by Sister Yixin in my hand, reached into the coffin and touched it, and took out the thing. It was a very corroded copper lock, almost invisible, there was a criss-crossing purple-black silk thread on the lock stick, even if there were yin and yang eyes, the vision in the dark was not as good as in the light after all, if it weren't for Xia Xiang's flashlight, I would have mistaken this thing.
"This may be the longevity lock worn by ancient people." I'm a little hard to sure, the longevity lock is not usually hung around the neck, how can it fall in the pelvis, but thinking back to the broken pieces of clothes outside, I am relieved, maybe, it was the necrophile who tore the clothes off, this tomb is pitch black, presumably the guy didn't find it.
"Brother Shen, what's next?" After looking at the bones, the two of us walked around the burial chamber, and soon found another stone door, I tried to push it with my hand, but it still couldn't be pushed, it seems that this stone door was also opened with a mechanism.
"You first look for the mechanism to open the door, and after the door opens, don't follow me in, just wait here to answer me, I'll try to find out your aunt first, the yin qi here is too heavy, it's not suitable for you to enter." As I spoke, I put my ear on the stone door, trying to hear if there was any strange sound coming from inside the stone door, but as soon as I put it on, I heard a soft "click" sound coming into my ears. Sister, there's something behind this door!
"Brother Shen, I found it!" Before I could figure out what was behind the door, Xia Xiang suddenly let out a happy whisper, and then the sound of the "buzzing" mechanism turning, and the stone door opened......
