Chapter 19: The Piercing Coffin
The tunnel is not very long, and there is a bright spot in the front room. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Seeing the bright light appear, Jiang Botong and Li Xuyang looked at each other, then quickened their pace and walked forward.
When you come to the front, the view becomes larger and the place is very spacious. The walls around are reinforced and strong, so you don't have to worry about collapsing at all.
In the spacious burial chamber, a large coffin sits in the center, separated by water on all sides. The water around them just enclosed the coffin in the middle, and the platform under their feet was about seven meters away from the coffin, and the water accounted for three meters.
The water is also black, and for such a long time, the water level has not overflowed this platform, nor has it dried up, it should be connected with the river water in the outside world.
From Wu Feng's dart, he already knew that it was a sarcophagus, but the one in front of him was not a sarcophagus, but a wooden coffin. Whether the double dragon chair is in this coffin or not, I'm afraid it's hard to speculate. After all, after a hundred years, although the sarcophagus will not decay, it is completely possible to artificially replace the coffin of the double dragon chair.
Jiang Botong looked up and looked up, the masonry was very neat, none of them were protruding or dented, and fluorescent stones were placed around the walls. And the light is also emitted by fluorescent stone, since there is fluorescent stone, but why is there a torch?
He came to a torch, which had long since been extinguished, and from above it must have been extinguished for a hundred years. And the stick, too, was a little rotten because of the dampness here, and when he touched it, a piece of sawdust fell directly from it.
The wood chips fell directly to the ground and then turned into powder.
"There should be communication with the outside world, this torch has been around for a long time, and it has completely rotted due to dampness and wind. This proves that there is air movement here, but it is not known where. Jiang Botong looked around, but he couldn't find any ventilation.
And it is entirely certain that the oil on the torch burned out on its own at the time of his observation, and was left after it had been extinguished. Since this is confirmed, a certain amount of air is necessary to burn the torches, and it can be inferred that this is a place of ventilation.
"Whew. Li Xuyang has been holding his breath, and he doesn't even dare to take a big breath, for fear that after he runs out of air, he will be suffocated to death in it without air.
"The only clue should be in that coffin, but we don't have tools, how can we get close?" Li Xuyang said as he looked at the coffin.
The appearance of the coffin is somewhat unique, it does not look like an ordinary coffin, one end is wide and the other is narrow. The coffin in front of him was the same size at both ends, with a layer of yellow on the surface, which looked like it was gilded, and under the illumination of fluorescent stone, it was still shining against the light.
The others are no different, there are no deliberately painted symbols, no other decorations, just placed there.
"It's about three meters away, and we can't tell how deep the water is. But it shouldn't be easy to get close to that coffin. Jiang Botong came to the edge of the platform, looked at the coffin opposite and said.
Li Xuyang looked back at the width of the platform and said, "If you run a little, you should be able to jump to the opposite side." But I feel that things will not be so simple, and it is impossible for us to find the Ssangyong chair as soon as we come. ”
"Well, I think so too. Jiang Botong said. "But this Wucai Ascending Dragon Position is not easy to find, since Zhen Danmei can know about the Jijizel Underground Palace, then others can also know, but they haven't found where the entrance is. ”
"The construction of this underground palace is also very unique, unlike other tombs, which are built with bricks to make tombs. Some tombs are just tombs, and it is enough to dig a pit that can hold the coffin, but in the tombs of some dignitaries, there will be burial goods or others. In some places, people are buried. When a person dies, a virgin woman is chosen to accompany the burial.
The Mausoleum of the Qin Emperor should be regarded as the largest tomb, and there are countless people who want to peek into the treasures of the Mausoleum of the Qin Emperor, but no one dares to do so.
And the project of this tomb is not big, but in fact it is not small, from our point of view, it is unremarkable, perhaps a hidden mystery. Be careful!"
After listening to Jiang Botong's words, Li Xuyang nodded. Indeed, this burial chamber is built with a yurt very similar, and it should be the tomb of Gigizel. So, is Gigizel's body in that coffin?
"You wait here, I'll go open the coffin and see. Li Xuyang said, then took a few steps back, and after running a few steps, he jumped directly to the coffin.
And when his hands just touched the coffin, he obviously felt some on his hands, as if he was pressing his hands on a cactus, but it was not so painful. When he looked at the palm of his hand, he found that there were small holes everywhere on his hand, and Li Xuyang also looked at the surface of the coffin.
After a close observation, Li Xuyang found that the surface of the coffin was not gilded, but a very fine yellow needle, and the coffin seemed to be wearing this layer of needles.
People who designed it this way estimated that separating the platform with water would make people jump over from somewhere, and then hold the coffin with both hands. In this case, the needles on the coffin will be pierced directly into his hand.
Seeing Li Xuyang standing there quietly looking at the coffin, Jiang Botong couldn't help but ask with some worry, "How is it?"
"Well, it's fine. Li Xuyang nodded in response. But he didn't know what to do, because the coffin was full of such thorns, how to open it with his hands?
Li Xuyang had never seen this kind of coffin, and what he had seen before was just covered with a red cloth and then sealed the coffin. But this kind of directly put a layer of thorns on the outside of the coffin, which is really rare.
But judging from the protection of the appearance, there must be something valuable in it, otherwise why would it take so much effort to put a tattoo armor on the coffin?
Since this coffin is protected in this way, why it can be found as soon as you enter, this point makes Li Xuyang puzzled. But there must be something important in the coffin, that's for sure.
Li Xuyang took out a pair of cotton gloves from his bag, and then put some other things in the gloves so that the thorns would not prick himself. He put his hand on the coffin and tried it, but with great force, the thorns could not reach his hand, although they were stuck in the glove.
After pushing the coffin hard, he found that the coffin lid did not move at all, and Li Xuyang pushed it, and it was still the same.
At this moment, there was a sound under the water around the coffin, and bubbles bubbled up from the water.
"Be careful, there's something unusual underwater. Jiang Botong stared at the water tightly, and then warned Dao Li Xuyang.
Of course, Li Xuyang also heard the sound of water coming out, and when he turned to look, he found that a hand, a very white hand, came out of the water. It's like being soaked in water for a long time.
"Come here, where you are in danger. ”
As a bubble bubble popped out, then many bubbles began to bubble out of the water, and all the white hands stretched out from under the water. Jiang Bo retreated, and once there was any danger, he could immediately run out, and also called out to Li Xuyang, who was still standing by the coffin.
He knew that his place was dangerous at this point, and if something underwater came out of it, he would be the only target. Jiang Botong stood far away, of course, it was impossible to attack him, but the only one who would attack was himself who was standing here in a dilemma.
"Human-faced spiders. ”
When the first human-faced spider emerged from underwater, Jiang Botong shouted in surprise. He never imagined that there would be such a thing here. How can something that is in the United States end up in China?
After those human-faced spiders emerged from the water, they stood on the platform, and then looked at Li Xuyang, and showed their hideous faces one by one. Although these facial spiders are similar to those in the United States, the only difference is that the threads that stitch up the wounds are still exposed, and they have not been removed at all.
Relatively speaking, those human-faced spiders in the United States should be more advanced than these, at least on the surface it is difficult to see where the threads are stitched. Moreover, when these human spiders move, their limbs are a little stiff and inflexible.
Li Xuyang's hands were still on the coffin, and then he looked at the human-faced spiders around him, and he was a little scared in his heart. He didn't know what these human-faced spiders were doing, why didn't they attack him directly, but instead looked at him viciously?
"Poof, poof. ”
After those human-faced spiders came up, they kept absolute silence, just quietly looking at Li Xuyang's direction, and even Jiang Botong not far behind them ignored it.
Li Xuyang could hear his heartbeat, which was indeed too scary. It's all fine to say if these things attack him directly, but looking at himself like that makes him feel a little hairy.
Slowly retracted his hand, he couldn't even push the coffin lid, so it was better to find an opportunity to escape from here in a hurry, and it would not be good for anyone to keep stalemate. But as soon as his hand left the coffin, the human-faced spiders began to scream, and the cry was extremely ugly, worse than the crow's cry.
"Don't move. Jiang Botong saw that Li Xuyang wanted to move, and immediately shouted. These facial spiders don't even have eyes, and the positions of their eyes are sewn together, so the only sense they can use to distinguish the position of others is their ears.
And Jiang Botong has been observing these facial spiders, only their ears are not completely damaged, and the others are either eyes stitched together, or their mouths are sewn up, or their nostrils are plugged. It can be said that none of them are normal human-faced spiders, and these human-faced spiders may also be experimental objects and then abandoned, but what he can't figure out is why they are here?
