Everyone carefully walked up the stone steps to the second floor, which was still a hall, almost exactly the same as the first floor. It's just that the second floor is not empty, because in the middle of the hall, there are actually more than a dozen coffins!

Everyone was stunned by this strange scene, and no one expected that there were so many coffins here. The scholar puffed out his cheeks and said, "His ancestors are stilted, and they dare to love this chieftain tribe who likes to live in groups." When he was alive, he had three wives, four concubines and eighteen concubines, and he had to get together when he died. ”

I silently counted about nineteen identical coffins, each made of a special stone, which radiated a strange brilliance under the light, a bit like a flashlight shining on a crystal stone. Although the light refracted is colorful, everyone present does not think that it is a kind of beauty, but feels cold and gloomy, which makes people's hearts chill.

"It turns out that the legend is true." The fourth master whispered to himself.

"What legend?" Linglong asked.

"Legend has it that the last king of the chieftain tribe, the man named Zhuli, possessed a treasure. This treasure looks like a jade wrench. Through this treasure, Suri can communicate with the gods and receive the blessings of the gods. Relying on this, the chieftain tribe made great progress during the reign of the Chieftain. ”

"But what does this have to do with these coffins?" I interjected.

"Xia Nan, don't worry, listen to me." The fourth master continued, "In the chieftain tribe, the king is actually like the emperor of Japan, nominally the head of the tribe, but he has no real power. The real power was in the hands of the high priest. The high priest controlled all the tribes through his many priests, in terms of food, clothing, shelter and transportation. The political rules of the chieftain tribe for hundreds of years have been invisibly controlling the tribe, but there are variables in the generation of Zhuli. He is heroic, capable, and has a jade wrench, so he wants to break free from the shackles of the high priesthood. If you put it before, it might have been successful, but the high priest I met was Ming Tu. ”

"What happened to Ming Tu?" Linglong's curiosity was also suspended.

"Ming Tu is the leader of our Holy Dragon Clan, with superior ability and flexibility. It is said that the reason why he gave up the opportunity to be a candidate for the patriarch of the Holy Dragon was because he was ordered by the Dragon Ancestor to carry out an important and confidential mission. ”

"Fourth Master, do you mean that this mission performed by Ming Tu has something to do with that ultimate?" I vaguely knew what the fourth master meant.

"What are you talking about, the Sprinkle family is getting more and more confused. Fourth master, why are you so mother-in-law this time, to be straightforward. The scholar was a little confused.

"I'm just speculating, according to various clues, this Ming Tu gave up the Holy Dragon Clan in order to hide the ultimate secret in the Chieftain Tribe. In other words, the next volume that records the route to the ultimate is in the hands of the High Priest Ming Tu. Ming Tu must maintain his position in order to better protect the next volume. In this way, the contradiction between Ming Tu and Zhu Li became irreconcilable. Legend has it that Tsumiki knew that he would die before Ming Tu through a jade wrench, and began to build his own tomb a few years before he died, and set up various mechanisms, one of which was the mechanism known as the Nineteen Coffins. The fourth master continued, "The chieftain tribe belongs to a wild land, and with a long time, there are almost no surviving ancient books. I also know a little bit about it through the Holy Dragon Clan. Unexpectedly, the information handed down was actually true. ”

"This is the same as Cao Cao's seventy-two suspicious tombs, if what the fourth master said is true, then one of the nineteen stone crystal coffins here is the remains of Zhu Li, and the remaining eighteen should be all organs." Lao Xu said.

I thought about it silently, and I always felt that something was not right, and the fourth master kept saying that he didn't know too much, just based on some information, he deduced that the next volume that led to the ultimate might be in the Chieftain tribe. Due to the lack of strength, he practiced with Mr. Cao and carried out this "support pot" action. But what the fourth master said just now has greatly exceeded the amount of information at the beginning, and I have a gut feeling that the fourth master knows more. However, why did the fourth master hide it, and what was he hiding?

The nineteen sarcophagi are not placed in the same direction, but are thrown there indiscriminately, in a disorderly manner. According to the fourth master, this nineteen sarcophagus is likely to be one of the organs used by Ming Tu to prevent Ming Tu from insulting his corpse. Ming Tu must have extraordinary ability to become a high priest, and the mechanism used by Yu to prevent him must be incredible, and it must be extremely powerful. Thinking about this, everyone was still on the scene, not daring to have the slightest impulse.

I don't know how to reflect the sunlight in this hall, but it used to be bright anyway. There are countless phantoms around everyone, just like standing under the shadowless lamp in the operating room, it seems that the wisdom and technology of the ancients greatly surpass the phenomenon of modern people. The sunlight shining on the stone crystal coffin reflected a colorful light, no matter what angle you look at, it will shine brightly. It's a beautiful look, but no one appreciates it.

"Rather than spending like this, don't explore the reality." Although Linglong is a girl, the influence of her family environment makes her seem very brave and strong.

There was no better way for everyone to form a small detachment according to Linglong's intention and go to the test. However, everyone heard the words of the fourth master and knew that the consequences were unpredictable, there was only one human life, and anyone would make a favorable choice in the face of life and death. Therefore, Linglong asked three times who wanted to join the team, but no one squeaked.

Linglong felt deeply embarrassed when she saw that her men had dropped their chains at a critical time, and she blushed unconsciously, turned around and shouted: "Look at you bastards!" Lost the face of the Cao family! Don't come out with me after being greedy for life and afraid of death, go back and hug the baby to live. When I go back, I won't be able to sue you in front of the old man! It's a shame that you're still gentlemen, so let me shrink back and watch the fun. Auntie, I'll explore the way for you! ”

Linglong's words made all the men red-faced, and seeing that Linglong was going to take risks, Ah Shun and Ah Li stood in front of Linglong together. Ah Shun said: "The eldest lady can't be rash. The front is dangerous, Ali takes the brothers to protect the eldest lady, I'll go! ”

Several guys of the Cao family were embarrassed by what Linglong and Brother Shunli said, so they patted their chests to show their loyalty and wanted to join the team. Ah Shun is very stubborn and insists that he represents Linglong in the death squad. Linglong couldn't fight him, so he selected three guys with flexible minds and excellent skills from the Cao guy who signed up by Ah Shun to follow behind.

The fourth master, as the palm eye and the initiator of this operation, didn't say a word, but silently appeared in front of Ali.

Originally, I didn't plan to join the team, and with my skills, I was also dragging oil bottles. It's just that after listening to Linglong's words, I always feel ashamed in my heart, not to mention that when the beauty is around, the man's instinct and subconscious pride are stimulated. When the fourth master stood out, I also silently walked to the fourth master's side.

The fourth master turned his head to look at me, but nodded slightly. Linglong screamed and kept telling me to go back. But the more she is like this, the more I have no way out, and I have to find out, and I will see the nineteen suspicious coffins for a while. Just as the team was about to settle down, the scholar and Lao Xu suddenly came over and said, "The two of us are going too." ”

A wave of warmth surged out of my heart in an instant. This is a good brother, this is a good friend. Maybe when you're proud, when you're happy and happy, they just watch you silently, don't disturb your life, don't disturb your rhythm. However, when you have difficulties and difficulties, they are always the first to appear in front of you, telling you with actions, rest assured and boldly move forward, and it is your brother standing next to you!

"Banren, you can't take all the good things, and if you want to be a hero, you can't lose your share of the heroes and Lao Xu." The scholar laughed and folded his sleeves.

"Yes, I have also seen these nineteen doubtful coffins and grasped first-hand archaeological data." Lao Xu also has a sense of humor.

In the end, the members of the death squad were determined, led by the fourth master, and me, Shusheng, Lao Xu and the Cao family were now on the two wings of the team, behind Ah Shun. After the division of labor, we each had a gun and touched the coffins in formation.

The distance of more than ten meters seems to be the distance between heaven and earth, although it is very short, but it is a long time. It's really a step-by-step approach.

The stone crystal coffin is getting closer and closer to us, and I vaguely see that the coffin looks a little strange, this coffin is not like a large coffin like a modern one, but a large one and a half meters long, about one meter wide, and a rectangle about one meter high.

The team slowly leaned over and gathered around the outermost sarcophagus, Lao Xu said in a low voice: "This kind of sarcophagus was not common in ancient times, especially in this kind of Western Regions far away from the Central Plains. According to the existing archaeological data, the thirteen kingdoms of the Western Regions should also be buried, generally wrapped in linen cloth and straw rope, and put into a hollowed-out trunk as a coffin. There are so many stone crystal coffins, not to mention the material, even the manpower is daunting. ”

After listening to Lao Xu's words, I unconsciously thought in my mind that let me take a stone hammer and knock on the chisel on a large stone spar, this is really the rhythm of tiring and vomiting blood! I really don't know what the ancients relied on to accomplish such unimaginable projects. When chatting with Lao Xu and scholars, Lao Xu said that in ancient times, major projects such as the Great Wall and the pyramids relied on the violent suppression of the regime and the use of coercive means to deprive slaves of their personal freedom, and thousands of slaves worked day and night to complete them. But this chieftain tribe is not well-known, the population must not be too much, and the development of civilization cannot be compared with the Central Plains, how did this city be built and so many strange facilities built?

I was thinking about it when I suddenly noticed that everyone around me had stopped moving. When I looked up, the fourth master, Ah Shun, the scholar and Lao Xu were all staring at the coffins. Isn't it just a dozen coffins, why are you still staring intently as if you have met a dozen beauties? I felt strange in my heart, and I also looked at it.

The stone crystal coffin closest to me was illuminated by the light from nowhere, exuding a colorful light, which was really a bit of a fairy baby's posture. I squinted, the color of the coffin was clear and gray, and I couldn't see the boundary between the lid and the bottom of the coffin. On the coffin board, there is actually a pair of "big eyes" engraved!
