Chapter 157: Shadows (Part I)

"Have you ever seen a sarcophagus like this?" Hearing him say this, I was also puzzled.

"I once saw it in Xiangxi, when there were three sarcophagi in the tomb, one of which had been opened, but there was nothing inside, and we hesitated to open the other two. The sarcophagus opened on its own, and out of it came a black-haired corpse guard and later the evil man, for which we almost died. ”

"Oh? There is such a thing. Could it be that the sarcophagus in this tomb also has the same thing as the Xixiang sarcophagus? Thinking of this, and looking at Ke Qiao's expression, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my back, and stared at the sarcophagus.

After opening the sarcophagus, instead of showing the slightest worry and fear, the people rushed to look inside the sarcophagus.

However, after seeing the scene clearly, one of them angrily scolded: "Mother, why is there nothing, a pile of rotten bones." ”

The other person also spat and scolded: "Yes, all the way over, the most fucking thing I saw was bones, and there was nothing valuable, Ah Man said that there was a lot of gold here, I think he was lying to us." ”

"Shhhhh ”

As he spoke, the man looked back at us, and when he saw that everyone's eyes were on him, he immediately shook in fright.

It turned out that a few of them thought that we were all looking at the murals, figurines or doing other things, but they didn't pay attention to their side, and they didn't want to say what they said, but we heard it.

Ah Man stared at them with a gloomy face, and Lao Pan on the side smiled when he saw this: "You don't have to be discouraged, there is nothing valuable in this tomb, not only is it not bad news for us, but it is a good sign, which proves the existence of the treasure even more, since it is a treasure, how can it be so easy to find, I believe that the treasure must be somewhere behind." ”

Ah Man coughed lightly, glared at the three of his subordinates, and said: "Lao Pan is right, since you are here, I will definitely not let you return empty-handed, but I don't want to hear you talk bad about me behind my back in the future, messing with my army's heart, otherwise don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people." ”

was threatened by Aman, but several people lowered their heads and did not dare to speak, obviously very afraid of him.

Lao Pan played a round field, walked up to them, patted one of them on the shoulder, and said: "You can rest assured, your leader is right, since you are here, you will never let you go back empty-handed, this tomb obviously has nothing valuable, these sarcophagi should not be wasted, but you see the two corridors in front of you." ”

"One of these two corridors must lead to the Treasure Pavilion, where there are countless gold and silver treasures, don't you see those gold and silver treasures smiling and waving to us?"

Lao Pan said while making exaggerated expressions and movements, Yan Ran is an instigator, we are shocked to see it, I now know that Lao Pan is not only a tomb robber, but also an excellent instigator of attention.

Having said that, after hearing Lao Pan's obviously instigating words, the three of them just looked at each other and didn't speak, and their faces didn't show too much excitement, and it seemed that they didn't buy Lao Pan's account much.

If you want to convince the public, you have to come up with something, Lao Pan seems to understand this, seeing that the three of them are silent, he sneered, and then turned around and walked towards the sarcophagus in front, and when he came to the sarcophagus, Lao Pan pointed to the sarcophagus and said: "Brothers, look what kind of golden coffin this is"

Hearing Lao Pan's words, everyone looked at each other, and the three subordinates ran directly over.

I only knew that this sarcophagus was the largest of the burial chambers, and that it was probably the owner of the burial chamber, but I didn't have time to look closely.

When they got closer, they found that the lid of the sarcophagus was actually open, and through the flashlight, everyone looked inside.

The inside of the sarcophagus is about one meter wide, and there is a yellow metal coffin placed inside, and the flashlight shines on it, shining with a dazzling luster, and it really looks like a golden coffin.

But if you take a closer look, you will find that the coffin is faintly purple and blue, and the most important thing is that the yellow metal coffin, whether it is the lid or the color of the coffin, is already a little purple.

This is not possible with gold, so it can be seen that this coffin should be made of brass, and it is a brass coffin.

In addition, the lid of the bronze coffin is carved with many sacrificial texts, which are very orderly, separated by horizontal and vertical lines carved on the coffin body half a centimeter deep, which looks sonorous and powerful.

When the other people heard Lao Pan say that it was a golden coffin, they looked at each other, and they could see that they, like me, knew that the coffin in front of them was not made of gold.

We know that it doesn't mean that Ah Man's subordinates also know, and this is not to blame them, if you only look at it with the naked eye, it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish between gold and copper, especially after it has been put for so long.

After seeing this bronze coffin, the three of Aman's subordinates swept away their previous unhappiness, and stared at the copper coffin with golden eyes one by one, but they almost didn't drool.

Looking at their expressions, I really wondered if they hadn't seen money in eight lifetimes, and I had never seen such greed.

Looking at the greedy expressions of the three of them, Lao Pan smiled meaningfully, then stepped aside, giving up his position so that they could "work", and then looked back at us standing in place, and said with a smile: "Brothers, I'll make a bet with you, I bet that there is a treasure in this golden coffin, what do you think." ”

Everyone went up the steps to the sarcophagus.

I looked at her and asked what she meant.

Ji Weiqi shook her head with a wry smile, and said, "You won, in terms of specifications, since the owner of this tomb is buried in this golden coffin, it is not uncommon for there to be burial goods in it, but." The premise is that you have a way to open the golden coffin. ”

"Whether you can open it or not, you don't know until you try it, I just know that if you don't try it, you will never be able to open it!" As he spoke, he shifted his gaze to the three subordinates who were busy with their work.

As soon as Lao Pan left, the three of them couldn't wait to take out their tools to surround the sarcophagus and began to lift the bronze coffin out.

Because the attention was on the bronze coffin, and the copper coffin was mistaken for a gold coffin, the three of them completely turned us aside, and two of them felt that carrying a gun on their backs was in the way, and even threw the gun on their shoulders aside, completely looking like they "didn't listen to what was going on outside the window, and only read the books of the sages".

The bronze coffin seems to be very heavy, and the three of them have not been able to get it out for a long time, and it is estimated that it will take a while to get it out, Ke Qiao walked to the back to look at the sarcophagus on the left that was pried open, and I saw that it was okay, and I also walked over.

There are eight sarcophagi on the left and right sides of the burial chamber, and these sixteen sarcophagi are identical in appearance, two meters long and more than half a meter wide.

Because the sarcophagus in front of me was a copper coffin, I thought that there should also be a copper coffin in the sarcophagus in the back, but through the flashlight, I found that there was only a skeleton inside.

The skeleton was wearing leather armor and a helmet, but the clothes and pants had long since rotted, and from the appearance, it was still obvious that this skeleton should have been a man before his death.

Because his pelvis is relatively narrow, and most importantly, he has a ghost-headed axe on his chest, although it is rusty, it is precisely because of the rust that it looks particularly terrifying.

Kejo pointed to the skeleton's helmet and said, "See, this should be a general." ”

"What does the pattern on those coffins have two crossed swords carved on?" I asked Wei Qi as I looked at the skeleton inside the sarcophagus.

I was about to move the flashlight to the sarcophagus and look at the skeleton inside, but as soon as my hand moved, two red lights suddenly lit up in the dark sarcophagus, looking at me motionless like two eyes, and I was so frightened that I took a few steps back and almost screamed.

"The eyes of the skeleton inside the sarcophagus."

I was about to say that I had just seen the skeleton's eyes glowing a strange red light, when suddenly a hand reached out from behind me and put it on my shoulder, scaring me half to death, and when I looked back, it turned out to be Ke Qiao.

I breathed a long sigh of relief, glanced at Ke Qiao with some reproach, and said, "You almost scared me to death, by the way, I just saw ......"

"Shh Ke Qiao interrupted me, looked at me with a serious expression, and whispered.

I wanted to tell him what I had just seen. But at this moment, at a glance, I found that there was no abnormality in the sarcophagus, and the skeleton was still lying quietly in the coffin, and there was no red light in the empty eye socket.

"Am I dazzled?" I thought and shook my head, and the other people next to me and the others behind me were stunned by my reaction just now, and hurriedly asked me what was wrong.

I was going to tell what I saw, but I wasn't sure, and I glanced at the skeleton inside the sarcophagus, and there was really nothing out of the ordinary.

If I had said that I had just seen the skeleton's eyes glow red, no one would believe it. In this kind of place, everyone's nerves are already very sensitive, and if we "make something out of nothing", it will only add worry to us, and we will lose our proportions and positions, not to mention that I am not sure whether what I see is true or dazzling.

Seeing Ji Weiqi ask me, I thought for a while, then shook my head and said, "It's nothing, I'm dazzled." ”

I couldn't think of a good argument for a while, so I found a reason.

Sure enough, when Ji Weiqi heard my words, she looked at me suspiciously, then at Ke Qiao behind her, and then looked down at the sarcophagus.

Old Pan also came over, Ke Qiao had asked us to stay away from the sarcophagus earlier, which had already made him suspicious, and after glancing at the skeleton in the sarcophagus, he also looked at me with suspicious eyes.

Even so, I felt a faint sense of unease in my heart, so much so that I couldn't help but look behind me after taking a few steps.

I don't know why, but I always feel like there's a shadow following us.

It's like a shadow of ourselves – with us.

When Ji Weiqi saw me looking back, she also looked back and whispered to me, "Don't think nonsense!" ”

Ji Weiqi's voice was very soft, but her words were very serious, my mood gradually calmed down, I breathed a long sigh of relief, and thought: "It seems that I am really dazzled, this kind of place is too eerie and terrifying, it is inevitable that people will be cranky!" ”

The three people who prying the coffin are still working hard, the copper coffin has been carried out of the sarcophagus by them at this time, and they only knew that there are many rune sacrifices on the coffin lid, and after lifting it out, they found that the coffin is also carved with the same runes, but this copper coffin is not big, about 1.8 meters long, but only 20 centimeters high, if there are burial goods inside, then there must be very few burial goods. But if you think about it from another angle, "the funeral goods are not many, but the exquisite", and if the funeral goods are "flashy and substantial, many but not refined", even if there are many of them, they can only be "chicken ribs", and "it is a pity to abandon the tasteless food".

Although this bronze coffin is not big, except for the bones inside, there is not much space to place the funeral goods, but after the death of the ancients, they will burn or bury the things they used in life, especially the most valuable things are generally buried with the master, some misers or landlords often swallow precious things into the stomach after death, which is nothing, and it is even more exaggerated that the seven orifices are also stuffed with gold and silver jewelry.

Although the bronze coffin is not big at the moment, if there are burial goods in it, then the funeral goods must be priceless, and the three of them are not stupid, they thought of this layer, otherwise, they would not use the strength to pry it.

Unsatisfactory is that the lid of the copper coffin and the coffin body are very firmly inlaid, although there is a gap, but this gap is like a stroke, no matter how to pry, it just can't be knocked open.

After tossing for a while, one of the three, impatient, waved his hand to call the other two away, raised his gun and swept over the copper coffin.

"Knock knock", a series of huge blows came from the copper coffin, startling us who were not prepared. The unique sound of gunfire and the sound of bullets hitting the copper coffin echoed in the ears, and the "lingering sound" lingered around for a long time, shaking everyone's eardrums and covering their ears involuntarily, and after a long time, this sound dispersed from near and far in all directions.

Ke Qiao glared at him angrily, and Lao Pan obviously didn't expect to shoot in this tomb, the gunfire would be so loud, and he was quite dissatisfied with the behavior of this subordinate. A few of them didn't expect that their shots would cause such a loud noise, and the sound of Aka 47 was already very loud, not to mention that it was in a closed and quiet place like a tomb, which made the sound that was not too big seem to have been amplified several times.
