Chapter Twenty-Six: The Mysterious Coffin Lid

We walked some more distance, but it was uncomfortable.

Before we knew that there were carvings on the stone walls on both sides, I could only hear the light clanging sound coming from somewhere in front of me, but since I knew the hollow eyes carved on the stone walls on both sides, I always felt that there were many eyes watching me in the dark, which made me feel like I was on my back.

Because of this, I unconsciously accelerated the pace of my feet.

As I moved forward, I felt that the inclination of the whole passage was increasing, so some stone steps appeared at the right time under my feet, and it seems that the ancient ancestors were very thoughtful in terms of details when they built this place.

Soon, not far ahead, I saw a small exit, and it was still dark outside, and the feeling of finding a way out was completely devoid of joy.

Walking out of this passage, there is no dark river and the sound of water just now. It feels completely different here than it did just now. It's dead silent, but I can always feel the slightest cool breeze blowing here, which is good news, at least the side is connected to the outside. But at the same time, I am a little worried, I can feel the cool breeze here, which means that this location is not very far from the outside, but since we are almost at the end of this place, where has Anador gone!

I looked around and saw that we were in a hollow in the interior of the mountain, and I didn't know if it was natural or man-made. However, even if it is naturally formed, it must have undergone artificial processing in the later stage. Because I can feel that my feet are smoother.

We took a few more steps forward and suddenly saw a very tall object appear in the aperture of the flashlight in front of us. It is a pointed stone mound stacked with large and small stones. It is similar to the mani mound that is common in Tibetan Buddhist areas, but the stone blocks that make up this stone mound are neither engraved with scriptures nor any pattern like the mani mound.

It seems that the original ancient ancestors stayed here. It's just that we can't find out what the significance of them is. However, seeing this as soon as we walked out of the passage clearly told us that this place was not ordinary.

We carefully walked around the stone mill, and found that the jingling sound we had just heard was even more obvious here.

The voice echoed through the space, and the three of us were tightly surrounded by darkness, unable to tell where the sound was coming from for a moment.

We continued to move forward, and just after walking a short distance, Lantern Xiao suddenly tripped over something under our feet. Lantern Xiao scolded angrily, looked down, and found a stone slab on the ground that was about to be broken.

The slab is very neat, and it is also carved with patterns, which is obviously carefully made.

However, this is another thing that is difficult for us to understand, the stone mill just now, although we also don't know what the specific meaning of it is there, but it must contain some special symbolic meaning in it, which can be seen from the special shape of the stone mill.

But at this time, we can't understand this broken stone slab under our feet at all, and it seems very random when it is not placed here properly. The slab was thick enough, but it was neither tall nor imposing, unless there was something hidden underneath it, but we flipped it over and there were no mechanisms or tunnels underneath the slate.

Lantern Xiao stared at this stone slab carefully for a while, didn't speak for a long time, seemed to be thinking about something, so I asked, "Lantern Xiao, did you think of something?" ”

Lantern Xiao wanted to speak and stopped, some slurred, I saw that he was a little grinding, so he said: "You have something to say quickly!" If there's a fart, let it go! ”

Lantern Xiao thought for a moment, "I think this stone slab is like a coffin lid!" ”

"Coffin lid?" I thought about it for a moment and thought it seemed unlikely. "How can there be only a coffin covered here, what about the coffin?"

Wen Mo squatted down, reached out and picked up a fragment, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, then looked down at the large fragments on the ground, and touched the patterns on it with his hand.

I also bent down and asked Wenmo, "How is it?" What is it? ”

Wenmo picked up one of the pieces and handed it to me, I took it curiously, but this piece didn't look big, I didn't expect it to be so heavy, I almost didn't hold it and fell to the ground as soon as I received it. I quickly grabbed it with both hands before I could hold it steadily.

At this time, Lantern Xiao also came over, and with the help of the flashlight in his hand, I saw that this fragment was engraved with a pattern, which should be a corner of the entire pattern on the stone slab.

But what caught my attention was the shape of the slab, which was rounded on one side and flat on the other, and there were even grooves on the edges for fixing the cap. It made me think, "This, this really looks like a coffin lid!" ”

Lantern Xiao immediately felt a little proud, "How is it!" I'll just say it! My eyesight, is that an ordinary person! ”

"But," I still don't understand, "what does it mean to throw a separate coffin lid here?" "Semi-finished products? Dumped here before it was finished? It doesn't make sense!

We looked around, but we didn't find anything, even though it was dark, but looking at the coffin lid, we knew that the coffin corresponding to it was not small, and it made no sense that we couldn't see something so big!

The three of us scattered and searched around, and I also walked to the side, but as soon as I took two steps, I suddenly felt that I had stepped on something hard.

When I looked down, it was a chain. I picked it up lightly and looked at it, and found that although the iron chains were rusty, they were still very strong, and after so many years, the iron chains did not show decay, which I have to say that this is surprising, I don't know what material was added to these iron chains, or what method was used.

I held the chain and couldn't help but think again, how could there be a chain here? My mind is full of doubts now, the coffin lid that has just appeared suddenly, coupled with the iron chain that has suddenly appeared, I always feel that there is something wrong with this.

If there are all kinds of things piled up here, and there are all kinds of things here, even if these two things appear, we will only be a little surprised, but we will not feel abrupt and strange. But now that there is nothing in this place, only these two things appear, it cannot be placed randomly without reason.

But what is the point of putting them here, or how did they get there, were they artificially placed or ......

Thinking of this, a thought suddenly flashed in my mind, which made my heart tremble, and I said, "I know!" ”

Hearing my voice, Lantern Xiao and Wenmo walked back again, and Lantern Xiao opened her mouth and asked, "What do you know?" ”

I handed them the chain in my hand, "Look at this." ”

Lantern Xiao took the chain in my hand and took it in his hand and shook it, "The chain? How could this be here? Where did it come from?

I pointed to my feet, "Right here, I just accidentally stepped on it." ”

Lantern Xiao frowned when she heard this, "Why is there this here?" What does it mean to have a broken coffin lid, a chain of iron, and nothing else? ”

I said, "I was thinking, the reason why we find these two things here a bit abrupt, in addition to the difficulty of understanding the meaning of what they are placed here, is that they are not complete, they are all broken parts. ”

Lantern Xiao looked dazed after hearing this, and when I saw his eyes rolling vigorously, I knew that he didn't understand. Wen Mo listened carefully, and then nodded thoughtfully.

Lantern Xiao scratched her head, "Zhuo Ran, what do you mean by this?" What exactly are you trying to say? ”

So I went on to say, "But what if we think about it the other way around, if they are whole in themselves? What if they weren't put here? ”

Lantern Festival was annoyed before he finished listening, "Damn! Zhuo Ran, what are you talking about silently? They weren't put here, they fell from the sky! ”

I nodded, "yes, you're right, I think it could have fallen from the sky!" ”

Lantern Xiao paused for a moment, then glared at me, and reached out to touch my forehead, "You kid has a fever!" What nonsense! What coffin ...... from above" Yuan Xiao was halfway through his words, and suddenly froze, he should have thought of the same thing as me.

Lantern Xiao stared at me with wide eyes, "You mean to say, these two things are from ......" said, Lantern Xiao suddenly shone the flashlight upward, but found that the top of the cave was pitch black, there was no searchlight in our equipment at this time, and the brightness of our flashlight was not enough.

Lantern Festival stretches out the arms as much as possible, but the brightness of the light emitted by our flashlight is okay, but the light concentration is not high. The light was emitted from the flashlight and quickly dissipated into the darkness.

Just when we had nothing to do, Wenmo took out something from his bag, and when we looked at it, we were immediately overjoyed, and what Wenmo took out turned out was a flare gun. Wen Mo looked at the gun in his hand, "I don't know how to use this thing, which of you can!" ”

Lantern Xiao stepped forward and snatched it over, "I'll go, boss, you're really thoughtful, you won't use it and bring such a thing, emergency?" ”

Wen Mo shook his head, "That's not the case, when I was in Guizhou, before you found Yuan An, I had already agreed to cooperate with him temporarily, and this set of equipment was received from him." ”

Lantern Xiao and I nodded, fortunately, this is really the case, this is really a charcoal in the snow.

Lantern Xiao fiddled around and asked Wenmo, "What about the flares?" ”

Wen Mo rummaged for a while, and then pulled out two thick bullet casings. Lantern Xiao expertly loaded the flares and fired a shot at the top of our heads. A flash of red light rushed upwards, and then quickly exploded on the roof of the cave.

The flares are rich in magnesium, which emits a dazzling glow when burned at high temperatures. The flashbang that lit up on the roof of the cave illuminated a large area above our heads, and the scene above made us stunned!
