In the midst of Yang Lei's cursing, Chen Ziyang looked up, and behind the crack in the mountain was a huge stone room. The reason why it is said that this is a stone chamber is because the height here is not very high, only about three or four meters high, and the torch can shine directly on the top of the rock above everyone's heads.

The torches in everyone's hands lit up a small part of this stone room, and the light of the orange-red flame filled the place around everyone, just at the junction of the orange-red flame light and the darkness in front of them, Chen Ziyang saw that under the reflection of the firelight, there was a neat row of coffins lying there, which should be the reason why Yang Lei cursed himself.

The few people who had advanced to this stone chamber looked at this row of coffins, all of them were at a loss, and they stood there not knowing whether to move on. After all ten people in the team walked into the stone room, Xiao Na walked to Chen Ziyang's side.

"Search the neighborhood carefully, don't come forward for a while, and avoid touching the mechanism." Xiao Na stood beside Chen Ziyang and gave orders to her teammates, while turning her head sideways and looking at Chen Ziyang quietly. And Chen Ziyang was still stunned, his eyes full of puzzlement.

What Chen Ziyang couldn't understand was not the coffins in this underground palace, although the previous intelligence showed that this Bohai Palace was used as a place to hide treasures, but at the beginning of the design, the Bohai Palace was originally used as the emperor's mausoleum, even if there were any coffins in it, it was not a big deal.

Although the appearance of these coffins was somewhat unexpected, he was not as surprised as Yang Lei. What really made Chen Ziyang puzzled was the arrangement of these coffins.

Although Chen Ziyang didn't see the whole picture of this stone room clearly at this moment, on the row of coffins he could see, on each coffin, two iron chains stretched out, connected to the coffin next to him, which made Chen Ziyang very incomprehensible.

Coffins are made of very tight wood, and there are even stone and metal coffins made of denser materials, but coffins made of either material are so heavy that it is difficult for anyone to move them.

And this practice of chaining the coffins together is obviously not to want any coffin to be moved, or if you want to move one of the coffins, you need to move the other coffins with you, so that it will make it more laborious to move one of the coffins, because all the coffins are connected together, but what is the purpose of this? Could it be that someone came in here to move the coffin for no reason?

While Chen Ziyang was thinking, the team members who searched around found two strange places and hurriedly asked Xiao Na to go over and take a look. On either side of this stone chamber close to the crack in the mountain, there were two mortar-like things, and both of them were connected to two long stone troughs, both of which extended along the mountain into the pitch black darkness.

Both of the stone mortars and the stone trough were covered with ointment, and in the ointment, a cloth rope twisted from rags and the like, soaked in the ointment, continued with the trough.

Seeing this, Xiao Na knew that the two stone troughs were actually used for lighting, and the ointment and the strips of cloth in the ointment were similar to the principle of torches.

The reason why torches can burn for a long time is actually related to the contact between combustibles and air. Wrap the cloth strip very tightly around the torch, soak the cloth on the torch with oil or some other accelerant that can penetrate the cloth, and then light the torch, so that when the torch burns, the internal cloth strip will not touch the air at all, so there is no way to burn.

Only the outer layer of cloth, which has both an accelerant and air contact, can be burned after ignition. Only when the outer cloth is all burned, the inner layer of cloth can come into contact with the air and continue to burn, which is the reason why the torch can burn for a long time.

The stone trough in front of him has both ointment and cloth rope twisted into strips of cloth, although this structure is very simple, but this design is enough to support the ointment in the stone trough to burn for a long time. The whole stone trough resembles a giant candle, and this rag rope resembles the wick of the candle.

Under Xiao Na's gesture, the two team members holding the torches put the torches into the stone mortar at the same time, and the two stone mortars instantly burst into flames, and at the same time, these two flames extended forward along the stone trough, illuminating the surrounding space.

The sudden light startled Chen Ziyang, and he was freed from his chaotic thoughts, and like everyone else, he watched the two fire dragons rush forward with his eyes.

The speed of the two fire dragons was very fast, and at the same time, they converged in the distance in front of everyone, and merged into one place, forming a semi-circular circle of burning flames, illuminating the entire stone room, and with the brightness of the surrounding light, everyone couldn't help but exclaim.

What surprised everyone was not the size of this stone chamber, but the hundreds of coffins that were placed in this stone chamber illuminated by flames. Chen Ziyang slowly turned his gaze around and saw the whole picture of this stone room.

This stone chamber is really huge, except for the side where everyone enters, which is a mountain crack, the rest of the place is a semicircular curved wall, and the walls are all painted with huge murals.

However, it may be because of the age, the pigment on these murals has basically fallen off, and many of the murals are all broken, and I can't see what the original painting is, but a few places are still relatively well preserved, although the colors on it are not very clear, but the general lines are still very clear.

And in the very center of this stone chamber is a huge octagon made up of hundreds of coffins. It turned out that the row of coffins that Chen Ziyang saw before was just the tip of the iceberg among these hundreds of coffins. The first thing that caught Chen Ziyang's attention was that in the center of this huge octagonal pattern made of coffins, there was a huge golden coffin.

The shape of this golden coffin is too weird, like a huge octagonal box, and the reason why Chen Ziyang said that it is a coffin is because of the surrounding coffins.

This coffin turned out to be a regular octagon, but because the distance was too far, Chen Ziyang couldn't see the pattern on the coffin clearly, and on the eight corners of the golden coffin in the middle, an iron chain stretched out from each of them, connecting the eight coffins that surrounded the octagonal golden coffin outside, and at the same time, there was also an iron chain connecting each other between the eight coffins. These eight coffins tightly surround the golden coffin in the center, forming the second layer of this coffin array.

On the outer side of the eight coffins, two iron chains stretched out from each other, connecting the thirty-two coffins on the third floor, and between these thirty-two coffins, there were also chains connected to each other. In the same way, these thirty-two coffins are connected to the sixty-four coffins on the outer layer, up to the outermost one hundred and twenty-eight coffins.

In addition to the one hundred and twenty-eight coffins in the outermost layer and the golden coffin in the center, it can be said that each coffin has five iron chains stretched out, which are connected to the coffins on the inner side, the coffins on the left and right, and the two coffins on the outer layer. A huge formation of chains and coffins was formed, and this formation had six layers from the inside to the outside, and all the coffins were neatly arranged.

Because there was plenty of light in the stone chamber at this time, Chen Ziyang didn't find any mechanism nearby, so he carefully came to the vicinity of the outermost coffin and carefully observed this huge coffin array.

Xiao Na's observation point was different from Chen Ziyang's, and when this stone room was bright, Xiao Na's first thing to look for was the exit. But the entire stone chamber was unobstructed, and there was nothing on the entire curved wall except for the frescoes on the mountain where they had entered, and there was no exit that Xiao Na expected.

So Xiao Na also leaned forward, trying to find a clue from these murals. Although the entire stone wall is only three or four meters high, the figures on it are very large, and some even occupy a part of the wall with only half a human figure.

The murals are exaggerated, mainly to highlight a man dressed in blue, and whenever he is depicted, his figure is particularly large, in contrast to the people around him who are only the size of his palm.

The mural is mostly the same, depicting a row of a dozen people dressed in the same clothes, kneeling before the blue-clad man while offering gifts in their hands.

In the whole stone chamber, there are about 20 frescoes, which are connected from beginning to end, but in these 20 or so murals, each group of people who offer treasures are dressed differently, and it is obvious that they should be from different countries or different tribes. And the treasures they offer are all different.

These treasures consisted of piles of gold and silver, jewels, and all sorts of strange shapes. On one of the murals, Shawna saw some strangely dressed people, these people had red hair, and at the same time pulled behind these people a huge fish, this fish had a crocodile-like snout, and the fish was very large, seeing this, Shawna naturally thought of the alligator gar before.

Then Xiao Na looked around, but she didn't see anyone offering the huge human-faced bat, maybe the mural of the human-faced bat had fallen off, so it was not displayed on it. It is also possible that this human-faced bat is only one of the insignificant treasures of countless treasures, and its weight is not enough to appear in these murals.

Generally speaking, the most important and valuable thing in the form of this mural must be placed in the middle of the whole mural, that is, the place where the two fire dragons converged before, but because that place is the farthest away, the mural on it Xiao Na can't see clearly.

So Xiao Na walked slowly along the edge of the stone chamber, and at the same time kept as far away from these coffins in the middle as possible, because before figuring out their function, the shock of these coffins was huge, although walking next to the edge of the stone chamber, it was hotter to get closer to the whole fire dragon, and the black smoke coming out of the fire was also more spicy, but this was much more comfortable than approaching the cold coffin.

Xiao Na walked down the stone trough to the mural in the middle and looked at it carefully, but then there was a look of disappointment in her eyes. The mural in the center of the mural fell off more seriously, leaving only the top and bottom parts, and the middle place had all fallen off, revealing the pitch-black rock, and then Xiao Na took a few steps back, adjusted the angle, and continued to look at it.

Although this mural is falling off more seriously, because the two things painted on this mural are relatively large, Xiao Na deduced what was painted on this mural through the remaining murals, plus the content of the murals she watched before.

The mural still depicts a very large man in blue, which can be seen from the remaining blue and a few simple lines in the blue below the mural, and at the same time, on the mural directly above the blue counterpart, there is something like a bun, this painting form is the same as that painted on the other murals, and this part should still depict the huge man in blue.

Next to this man, the mural is slightly more preserved, although the most critical part of the middle is also missing, but the lower part is more remnant, and Xiao Na saw two huge hands in this part. These two hands were familiar to her, exactly like all the kind of Guanyin gestures that one hand was lying below and the other was standing on top.

It seems that this should be a statue of Guanyin, seeing this, Xiao Na felt very strange, because from the color of this Guanyin statue, this seems to be a huge stone sculpture, but Xiao Na can't understand why a stone sculpture is painted in the center of the whole mural as the most important object?

You must know that the things depicted on the previous murals are either rich treasures or strange and exotic beasts. Compared to these things, a stone statue of Guanyin should not be a big deal.

With a stomach full of questions, Xiao Na looked at the murals on the left and right sides of the mural in the middle, according to reason, the things painted on these two murals should also be valuable, but the mural on the right side has completely fallen off, and there is nothing to see at all, but the mural on the left side still retains most of it.

On the mural on the left, there is a huge golden light, this golden light is very large, almost the same size as the man in blue, which has never appeared in the previous mural, even when painting the huge alligator gar, the size of the alligator gar is only half the size of the man in the man's clothes, Xiao Na has seen with her own eyes how huge the behemoth is, but the area of the golden light in front of him is comparable to the man in blue.

There seems to be something faintly painted in this King Kong, and the general line should outline the outline of an object, but because it is too old, the color on the mural has fallen off a lot, and the outline of what object is painted in it is no longer visible. If it weren't for the remnants of some golden paint in the cracks in the stone, Shawna wouldn't even be able to tell that the light was golden.

As a team leader who often goes down to the tomb, Xiao Na still has her unique vision, and the overall mural technique and the use of colors and pigments are obviously very similar to the style of the Tang Dynasty, which is very consistent with the history of the ancient Bohai Kingdom. However, the purpose of these murals is limited to this, and they do not provide any additional clues.

After reading all the murals, Xiao Na walked back to the entrance and stood behind Chen Ziyang, hoping that he could make a breakthrough, maybe the treasure of the Bohai Palace was in this coffin, because there was no exit, so this was probably the end of their trip.

But so far, none of the searchers have found the golden gear, so Xiao Na can only hope that Chen Ziyang can make a breakthrough in these coffins.
