Chapter 12: The Battle of the Coffin Board
The big black dog is black and greedy, and the gold-devouring rat is simple and cute, getting along with them, Mu Qingtian feels more relaxed than ever, and even the sorrow of the broken family has faded a lot.
They climbed two mountains, waded across a river, and finally came to the sinkhole where the great black dog and the gibbon had found the source stone.
Outside the sinkhole, there is a tree stump that has existed for an unknown number of years, with a diameter of 50 meters, and it is covered with young shoots, which looks like a small forest.
If you don't look closely, no one would have thought that there was something else inside this stump, and that it was here that the gibbons escaped.
Inside the stump, the passage of nine turns and eighteen turns can be seen everywhere, but there is a treasure hunting expert like the gold devouring rat, and Mu Qingtian and they have not taken many detours.
"The dog master understands the mood of the big horse monkey a little, with its brain, it is really not easy to get out of here alive!"
Although the big black dog looked emotional, he did not have a trace of guilt.
After walking for about half an hour, the gold eater stopped, because the road had come to an end.
In front of them was a pitch-black stone cliff, and below the cliff was an underground river that connected to the sinkhole, from which the gibbons must have climbed up.
Next to the stone cliff is a stone arch, and inside the arch stands a stone tablet more than ten zhang high, which is carved with dense characters, but most of them are no longer visible.
"The tomb of the Jiang family of Nanzhao Kingdom!"
Mu Qingtian read it out word for word.
Only this column of large characters is clearly visible on the stele, and the others are basically unrecognizable.
Mu Qingtian only understood a few words: Nanzhaoguo, Jiang Village, and Dragon Seeker, the first two were obviously place names, but what was the Dragon Seeker? He didn't know at all.
However, when he saw these words, the big black dog, who had always talked a lot, quieted down, and there was mist in his eyes, and even a trace of yearning and remembrance appeared.
"What's so nice about the broken monument, let's go find the secret room!" The gold-devouring rat that had already walked inside poked out a head.
There was a stone door behind the tombstone, but it was broken, and looking at the old and new cracks, it was obviously the handiwork of a gibbon.
Behind the stone gate was a burial chamber, fifty or sixty zhang wide, full of the bones of ferocious beasts.
If he hadn't seen the tombstone outside first, Mu Qingtian would have thought that they had found the tomb of a demon king.
However, when his eyes came into contact with the huge coffin in the center of the tomb, he was immediately stunned.
Because he was too familiar with the material of this coffin, and looking at the gap on it, wasn't it the shape of the piece of wood he had refined!
"I'll go, what I refined before was a coffin board!"
Mu Qingtian's heart was extremely complicated for a while.
"Haha, it's a good thing you're just refining, not eating!"
The big black dog laughed very unkindly, and the corners of his mouth were almost grinning.
"Lao Hei, you also have a time to look away, the essence contained in this coffin board is much stronger than the branches of the Divine Tree, I only refined one piece and broke through, don't you believe it?"
As he spoke, Mu Qingtian's body was full of vitality.
"Your uncle, really?"
The big black dog felt the change in Mu Qingtian, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he pounced on the coffin without thinking about it.
"I'll go, you don't really want to eat the coffin board, do you?"
Mu Qingtian was dumbfounded, but as soon as he finished speaking, the big black dog's mouth had already bitten on the coffin.
"It's really exciting!"
As if he had discovered a rare treasure, the big black dog immediately performed the dog-style disassembly method, quickly pulled out the nails of the coffin with his mouth, and then began to install the coffin board into the storage ring.
"Dead dog, you have no lower limit, you even want a coffin board!"
Mu Qingtian was still a little embarrassed, but seeing the big black dog acting like this, where could he take care of so much, he immediately pounced and grabbed it with the big black dog.
The law of true fragrance is vividly realized!
"That's, the entrance to the chamber ......"
The Gold Eater Rat was about to tell them the location of the entrance, but was shocked by the incredible scene in front of them.
"This rat has been hunting for treasure for many years, what kind of freak has never been seen, but this is the first time I have encountered this coffin board, how poor these two guys are!"
The little mouse man stood up, looked at the two poor and crazy fellows quietly, and secretly decided in his heart that he would share more of them if there was something good.
"Wang, boy, you grabbed an extra piece, take it out, half a person!"
After snatching it, the big black dog bit Mu Qingtian's leg and insisted that he take out the last coffin board and divide it in half.
"It's just a broken plank, are you?"
Mu Qingtian was helpless, so he could only cut out half of it and give it to it, the eyes of this dead dog were really good!
Fortunately, they had obtained the storage ring from the Gold Eater, otherwise their original Qiankun bag would not have been able to hold so many coffin boards.
"I wanted to tell you where the entrance is, but now I don't think so!"
The Gold Eater said, pointing to an exposed spot on the ground.
When Mu Qingtian and the big black dog snatched the coffin board, they found that the bottom plate of the coffin had a palm-sized gap, and there was a depression under the gap, which was the shape of the six-pointed star key.
"It's time to witness the miracle!"
The big black dog held the metal key in both paws and slapped it on the depression with a bang.
Thundered!
The entire chamber immediately trembled.
Then, the place where the key was located began to crack, revealing a secret underground door.
"Wow, it's a corpse!"
While Mu Qingtian and the big black dog were staring intently at the secret door, the gold-devouring rat suddenly screamed, and then swooped onto Mu Qingtian's shoulder.
"It's a big game!"
The big black dog looked back and was dumbfounded.
As the secret door opened, the bones of the fierce beasts on the ground actually moved, and the eyes emitted a dazzling red light, like the resurrection of the undead.
"What a daze, run!" Mu Qingtian shouted.
These bones gave him the feeling that it was very dangerous, and the three of them rushed up with their little arms and legs, presumably for the delivery of food.
"The exits are blocked, where are you going!"
The little mouse was so anxious that he was about to cry.
"No matter, jump in!"
After Mu Qingtian finished speaking, he took the lead in jumping into the secret door with the gold-devouring rat.
The big black dog glanced behind him, gritted his teeth, and jumped in.
At this time, the bones of those fierce beasts also reacted and quickly rushed to the secret door, but I don't know what the reason is, they just circled outside the secret door, but they didn't follow up.
Bang! Bang!
Mu Qingtian and the others rolled down the steps, and finally came to a secret room with an everlasting lamp.
"Hey, is this the real burial chamber!" Mu Qingtian said in surprise.
It is more said that it is a burial chamber than a small room.
The layout here is very simple, only a table, a chair and a bed, all of which are made of stone, and on the wall next to the table is a stone cabinet full of various bottles and boxes, and a skeleton is lying quietly on the stone table.
While Mu Qingtian was paying attention to the bones, the big black dog and the gold-devouring rat had already pounced on the stone cabinet with bright eyes.
"Your uncle, a loser, such a good pill has become a waste pill!"
The big black dog was pounding with those bottles and cans, looking distressed.
Unlike the Big Black Dog, the Gold Eater's focus is not to touch the bottles and cans, but to rummage through the boxes.
Suddenly, a bright light appeared from the box, and the Gold Eater quickly collected the light into the storage ring, and then pounced on the other boxes.
