Volume 1 The Land of Yama Chapter 74 The Huge Sarcophagus

I cautiously walked over and tentatively shouted, "Wenmo! Wenmo! Is that you? I turned on the flashlight and shone it, and sure enough, it was Wenmo.

Wen Mo turned his head to look at us, he didn't seem surprised by our arrival, but said lightly, "You shouldn't have come here." ”

I smiled wryly, "You think I want to come!" ”

I turned on my flashlight and shone at the dark shadow in front of Wen Mo, and saw that there was a large circular stone platform. There seems to be some carvings around the stone platform, and on top of the stone platform, there is a square boulder.

This boulder appears to be very natural, except that the shape seems to have been preliminarily carved and turned into a rectangle that is not very smooth, but there is no decoration, no seal carving, no carved pattern, it is an ordinary large stone placed there.

I have an indescribable feeling about this, whether it is strange, lost, or expectant. From the whole experience we've been here, I've always felt that things are not that simple.

I turned my head and asked Wenmo, "What the hell is this place?" ”

Wen Mo looked at the fire moth and the fog under his feet, "This is the place where yin and yang intersect. ”

"Yin and Yang intersect?" I pondered for a moment and nodded. "And what is this?" I pointed to the boulder.

Wen Mo's eyes still stayed at his feet, "Can't you see it?" ”

"Me?" I took a closer look at it again, "How do I know what this is?" Is it just a big rock, is it a meteorite? ”

Lantern Xiao also approached the boulder, carefully observing up and down, and also circled around the boulder, looking at it, his face gradually changed, and his breathing was significantly faster.

I saw that something was wrong with him, so I walked over, "Lantern Xiao, what's wrong with you?" ”

Lantern Xiao pointed to the huge stone, "Look at what this is?" ”

I looked back at it with some confusion, "Isn't this just a rock?" What's wrong? ”

"No," Lantern Xiao took a deep breath, "You see, although this boulder is not carved, you can see that its two ends are not the same size. ”

I smiled, "You nonsense, it's not polished, it's not normal for the two ends to be asymmetrical." ”

Lantern Xiao waved his hand, "That's not the case, this boulder has not been processed elsewhere, but the two ends have been changed, although one side is large and the other is small, but the big one is very symmetrical." ”

I was confused by what Lantern Xiao said, "What kind of nonsense are you talking about, what is big and small, and what symmetry ......" As I spoke, I suddenly realized something, ran to this boulder, and took a closer look, my mind suddenly sounded like a thunderclap, I finally knew what Lantern Xiao wanted to say, but I still couldn't believe it, Lantern Festival was probably the same feeling. Because, we can see that this boulder is obviously a huge coffin!

In fact, I should have seen it a long time ago, and the characteristics of its coffin are also obvious, especially there is a coffin lid, but because it is too big, we really can't imagine that there is such a big coffin in the world, we don't think about it in this direction at all.

I couldn't figure out why there was such a huge sarcophagus here, and suddenly I remembered the ancient petroglyphs we had seen in the underground dark river, and it seemed that the paintings on them were real. The coffin painted on the petroglyph turned out to be here.

So I really can't imagine who is buried in such a coffin like a small bus? Or is it human or not?

I turned my head to look at Wenmo and asked, "Is this really a coffin?" What's in it? ”

Wen Mo shook his head, "Actually, I don't know. ”

Lantern Xiao took a look at the circular stone platform under the sarcophagus and said, "This sarcophagus is not ordinary!" ”

"Nonsense!" I glanced at him and said, "It's definitely not ordinary!" ”

"No, that's not what I meant." Lantern Xiao pointed to the stone platform under the sarcophagus, "I don't know if you have noticed, the place where we are standing under our feet, except for the road when we came, is almost a square." And in the middle of this square is a circular stone platform. The ancients have always believed that the sky is round and the earth is round, and if the square ground under our feet represents the earth, the round stone platform in the middle represents the sky. And this sarcophagus is above the sky, and I don't need to say the rest, you figure it out yourself. ”

I didn't believe Lantern Xiao's words, and felt that he must be talking nonsense, so I turned to Wenmo, hoping to get his confirmation. At this time, Wen Mo's expression was grim, and he said softly: "This shouldn't be something in this world. ”

This sarcophagus is completely beyond our cognition, and even beyond our worldview. We can't speculate and imagine it, all it can bring us is surprise and shock! And the only way to know about it is to open the lid of the sarcophagus and find the answer from the inside.

But with such a huge volume, its lid may weigh several tons or even more than ten tons, and it is completely wishful thinking for a few of us to want to lift the coffin lid. And the route to get here is inaccessible to any lifting equipment. In addition, it is so deep in the mountain that it is not possible to crane even by helicopter. Unless explosives are used, this sarcophagus will be blown up directly, but the contents inside will be destroyed at the same time, and this place is surrounded by cliffs on all sides except for one road, and once the blasting is carried out, it is very likely that this place will collapse directly.

I realized that there is nothing we can do about this sarcophagus, we may never be able to peek into your secrets inside, and I can't imagine how the ancients placed it here. No wonder as Wenmo said just now, this is really not a thing in this world.

Just as our attention was all focused on this huge sarcophagus, suddenly, Kong Xue exclaimed: "There are snakes! ”

We were all taken aback and immediately on guard.

"Where?" Lantern Xiao asked, holding up a gun.

"It's right under that stone platform." Kong Xue pointed to the circular stone platform.

We really didn't pay attention to the bottom of the stone platform just now. Could it be that there really is a snake hidden there? A few of us slowly leaned over, under the light of the flashlight, I really saw that there were snake scales under the stone platform, and it looked like there was more than one, my heart tightened, but after a closer look, I exhaled softly, and said, "It's okay, those seem to be just some statues." ”

"Statues?" Lantern Xiao looked at it carefully, but she didn't completely relax, "Let's be careful, don't forget, we also used those snakes on the top of the tomb as statues, and they were almost used as snacks." ”

Hearing Lantern Festival's words, I felt reasonable, so I didn't dare to take it lightly. We watched carefully for a while, and after Lantern Xiao even touched it with the barrel of a gun to confirm that there was really no danger, we relaxed.

I turned to Kong Xue and said, "It's really just statues. I glanced at Uncle Kong beside her, and I suddenly noticed that Uncle Kong was looking at the sarcophagus with a strange look at that look, which seemed to be filled with greedy desire. It was as if a miser saw a treasure, like a traveler in the desert saw clear water.

I turned my head again and found that Lantern Xiao and Wenmo were squatting on the edge of the stone platform studying something, and I hurriedly leaned over. Wen Mo pointed to a gap in the stone platform and said, "This stone platform has been destroyed, and there seems to be a piece missing here, I don't know what it is?" "When I looked, sure enough, there was a triangle missing from the round stone platform, and some of the original lines were broken along with the missing triangle.

I looked at the Lantern Festival next to me again, and saw that he was trying to insert a short knife into the scales of those snake statues, and I patted him, "You kid is crazy to get rich, and the scales of this statue are not worth much." ”

The strange thing is that this Lantern Festival didn't pay attention to me, but with a force in his hand, he really buckled off a scale, and then handed it to my eyes, "You see, this scale is not carved at all, but grows on it, these snakes are not statues at all, these snakes are real, but they are dead, and now they are all dried corpses of snakes." ”

I looked at the scales, and sure enough, there was some muscle tissue on them, and I asked, "Will this snake corpse turn into a snake dumpling?" ”

Lantern Xiao was stunned, "I haven't heard of this." ”

I nodded, "Why is there a snake corpse used here for decoration, is there any special purpose?" ”

Wen Mo pointed to the snake corpses, "These snakes are not ordinary snakes, come and see." As he spoke, Wenmo asked me to look at the heads of the snakes, and when I looked at them, I couldn't take my eyes off them, because I saw that there were two horns on the heads of the snakes.

I've never heard of horned snakes. I counted the number of snakes under the stone platform, and there were nine in all, and each of them had horns on its head.

For a moment, I wondered if these horned snakes could still be called snakes, or should we call them dragons? The only difference between them and the legendary dragons is that they don't have claws.

In that case, this place should be called: Nine Dragons Heavenly Coffin!

In an instant, my mind was in turmoil, and I stood up and slowly walked around the sarcophagus to the edge of the square platform beneath my feet, looking at the dark river below the cliff and the fire moths and fog as they continued on, into a dark crevasse.

I stared at the huge crack and slowly realized that in the absolute darkness, there seemed to be some kind of magic that was attracting me. At the same time, it also gave birth to a fear from the bottom of my heart, a fear that came from my bones, and I could barely breathe. I tried to retract my gaze and shook my head, and the feeling slowly faded.

I don't know what I found, I don't know what I see, I only know that these things in front of me are enough to subvert the entire history of mankind, in the history of human development, we think we already know a lot, but maybe what we have is only a drop in the bucket, or even the truth of history at all, just some historical appearances that have been covered up and modified by those predecessors who think they can let us know. And what is the truth of history? Like this sarcophagus in front of us, it is simply impossible to explore.
