Chapter 39: The Iron Coffin Lock Demon

After a while, I came to my senses, shook my head and let out a sigh of relief, secretly scolding myself for being heartless. I shouted "Lantern Festival" twice, but no one responded to me at all, and I knew that Lantern Festival must be as attracted by the scene as I was.

I raised my hand and touched Lantern Xiao's shoulder, pinpointed his face, and gave him a mouth without too much force.

With a "pop", Lantern Xiao woke up suddenly, "Damn!" I was fascinated by it, it was so shocking! ”

"That's it!" I said, "No matter how shocking and dreamy it is, I don't want to die here!" Let's find our way! ”

"Ahh Right, right! "Lantern Xiao and I began to look around, and sure enough, on one of the passages, we found that every step or so, there would be an area without photoelectricity. Just now, I was shocked by the countless points of light in front of me, and I didn't notice these blank areas, but now we find them when we take a closer look. It's not a big area, but it can fit two feet. But that's enough for us, such areas alternate left and right, one reaching out into the distance.

This discovery made me and Lantern Xiao delight, "Great! "There is salvation!"

Lantern Xiao walked cautiously, stepped on the nearest area without light spots, and as Lantern Xiao's footsteps landed, the surrounding light spots also moved with this vibration. But fortunately, these scorpions did not get closer, but moved outward, making the area where the Lantern Festival landed a little larger. Sure enough, there was a door, but despite this, Lantern Xiao still didn't dare to take a second step rashly.

I asked Lantern Festival softly, "How is it?" Did any scorpions climb up? ”

Lantern Xiao was silent for a while, "I don't know, I can't feel the thickness of my pants!" ”

"Then you reach out and touch it!" I suggested.

"Yes!" Lantern Xiao wanted to bow her head when she hummed, but suddenly got up again and said to me, "Fart!" What kind of heart do you kid have, don't you think I'm not stung badly enough! Lantern Xiao thought for a moment and then said, "Forget it, let's go like this!" Anyway, stretching out your head and shrinking your head is also a knife! After speaking, Lantern Xiao stepped on the blank area on the ground and walked forward quickly step by step.

I didn't dare to stay, followed behind the Lantern Festival, and left quickly.

Along the way, we walked attentively, and our eyes were all fixed on the ground under our feet, lest we stumble and become hated for eternity!

We walked like this for a while, and suddenly, I heard a low shout from the Lantern Festival in front of me, and then jumped forward with all my might. I was pleasantly surprised, could it be that I had reached the exit!

Sure enough, as soon as I looked up, I saw that there was a large open space in front of me, and there was no trace of light on it, and I thought it might really be the exit! I also jumped forward with all my might, and the moment my feet hit the ground, I felt a lot more relaxed.

I couldn't find the location of the Lantern Festival, so I shouted in a low voice: "Lantern Festival! Lantern Festival, where are you? ”

Soon not far ahead, the voice of Lantern Festival came, "I'm here!" Come here! ”

I walked to the place where the voice came from, and Lantern Xiao asked, "Is this the exit?" ”

I shook my head, but he couldn't see it when I remembered shaking my head like this, so I said, "I don't know either!" ”

Lantern Xiao fumbled in his pocket, "Then can we turn on the flashlight?" ”

"Good!" So Lantern Festival and I took out our flashlights separately and turned them on together. And the scene in front of us suddenly stunned us.

In front of us was a tower half-buried in the earth, with two gates tightly closed. And what makes us even more unbelievable is that there are six coffins in front of the city gate!

Lantern Xiao and I were dumbfounded, "Damn, this is not an exit!" Lantern Xiao slapped his head hard.

I was also stunned, "I'll go, go the other way!" "When we were advancing in the ancient city just now, we only looked at the foothold under our feet, and we didn't pay attention to the direction of travel. There must have been a fork in the road along our way, and we didn't even notice it.

I turned around and looked behind me at the passage of the ancient name, where there were still a large number of scorpions. It seems that when we return in a while, the road will still be thrilling and thrilling!

At this time, we are not in a hurry to leave, after all, we have found such a position, at least to see it clearly.

Lantern Xiao pointed to the city gate half-buried in the soil layer and said, "You say, what did Ma Jun say about the city gate that your second uncle asked him to look at, could it be that?" ”

I nodded, "That's a good possibility!" ”

"But," Lantern Xiao slowly took a few steps forward, "what about these coffins?" Could it be that there are six tomb owners? ”

"It can't be!" The likelihood of this statement is almost zero, so I flatly deny it, "I think it is likely that these six coffins were just burial companions, and the real owner of the tomb may be behind this city gate!" ”

"Hey! Then you say, will there be a dead vessel or something in this burial coffin? Lantern Xiao said as she walked towards the coffins.

I knew that as long as he touched the ground, his mind was full of spiritual weapons, and I didn't bother to pay attention to him. In fact, compared to those coffins, I am more concerned about the two big city gates in front of me.

I remember Ma Jun saying to me that the second uncle kept him here to let him keep an eye on the city gate, and if the city gate was opened and the second uncle was not here, Ma Jun would blow it up.

I couldn't help but wonder what was hidden behind these two gates. As I thought, I walked towards the city gate.

At this time, I saw that on both sides of the city gate, there were two quite large bronze fire seats. This kind of thing was used by people in ancient times for outdoor lighting or heating. This kind of fire seat has a bronze stand underneath, and a solid or hollow brazier on the top, in which some light-burning objects such as some shiny pine are thrown in, and then ignited.

I walked to the bronze seat and looked inside, and saw that there was a lot of pine resin and wood in the brazier, some of which were charred, but some of which were intact. Looking at the appearance in the brazier, it is obvious that this thing has been ignited not long ago, I think it is not Ma Jun, it is the second uncle!

I dug out a promotional slip from my bag that I had picked up in the supermarket during the day, I asked for a lighter for Lantern Festival, lit the promotional slip and threw it into the fire, the wood sticking to the pine resin was very flammable, and soon the red flames jumped in the brazier. I did the same, and lit another bronze flame as well.

The two burning bronze fire seats illuminated the huge black shadow of the city gate tower, and also made me vaguely see the outline of the city gate in front of me. Two large gates were hidden in a dark opening in the base of the gate, which was topped by a not-so-tall attic.

Half of the attic is exposed, and the rest is buried by the soil layer above.

I looked at the black doorway and remembered what Ma Jun said, and I couldn't help but feel a chill rise from the bottom of my heart.

At this moment, Lantern Xiao suddenly shouted next to him, "Zhuo Ran! Exceptional! Come and see! ”

I turned around and walked to Lantern Xiao's side, "What's the matter?" ”

Lantern Xiao pointed to the edge of the six coffins and said, "Look at this coffin, the lid is not tightly covered!" ”

"What?" I was shocked, and immediately raised my flashlight to look for it, and sure enough, I found that there was a gap more than half a foot wide between the lid and the bottom of the coffin, obviously the coffin lid was not properly covered.

Lantern Xiao thought for a while and said: "If it is a normal burial, there will never be such a situation, and the coffin lid is not covered." Is that possible," Lan Xiao said and turned his head to look at me, "Is it possible that the people inside kicked it out by themselves!" ”

As soon as the words of Lantern Festival came out, I got goosebumps all over my body, and I quickly took a sip, "Don't talk nonsense, can you think of something good, you will be uncomfortable if you don't touch the zongzi!" I looked at the coffin, "I don't think it's as evil as you think, maybe it's just an accident or a coincidence." ”

Lantern Xiao squatted down and studied it carefully, and looked at me with a smile, "Since you think it's okay, let's open it and take a look!" ”

I was stunned for a moment, and then I remembered a word "thieves don't go empty", Lantern Festival must have had the idea of opening the coffin a long time ago. For Lantern Festival's proposal, I thought about it carefully, and still nodded in agreement. After all, we know too little about this ancient tomb, and in order to find its specific situation, opening the coffin is probably a necessary means.

Lantern Xiao and I each found a point of focus on the coffin lid that could make us stronger, and then at the same time, we only heard a "crunch", and the coffin lid was lifted up by the two of us. The two of us worked together to put the coffin lid aside.

We shined a flashlight into the coffin and saw a prayer cloth covering the top, but when we saw the size of the bulging part under the prayer cloth, we thought it was a little strange.

Generally speaking, the corpse should be covered under the prayer cloth, and the size of the corpse can probably be seen from the degree of bulging on the prayer cloth.

In fact, this is also a detail that needs to be paid attention to when the soil rake is inverted.

The second uncle once told me a thing, about ten years ago, he and a few friends in the circle went to Shanxi Zhiguo, when they found the location of the ancient tomb, after the robbery hole drilled in, they found that this should be a Ming tomb, and the stone carvings and paintings built in it are very luxurious, which shows that the identity of the owner of the tomb is extraordinary.

The second uncle and his group are all good hands in the circle, although there are also some news in the tomb, but they have all cracked it without danger.

And when they entered the main burial chamber and saw the coffin on the coffin bed in the middle of the burial chamber, everyone was surprised, because there was a huge coffin, of course, in addition to the large volume, the most shocking thing was the material of this coffin, because the coffin placed on the coffin bed was neither the most common wooden coffin, nor the relatively rare stone coffin, nor the rare bronze coffin, but a black iron coffin!

One of the elders blurted out four words that made everyone feel cold, "Iron coffin lock demon!" ”
