CHAPTER 40

With that, everyone finally got down the lava tunnel and entered a large hall below.

As they smelled an unusual fragrance from the silk, everyone continued to explore the hall.

After the stone bridge, you enter a stone gate, and the space inside is completely made of volcanic stone, and the temperature in it is about twice as low as that of the main hall outside.

Walking further, there is another stone gate, but this time behind the stone gate, there is a passage, and everyone can vaguely see the end of the passage, a faint flickering red light, like a starry flame, and like the red eyes of a monster.

"Senior brother, what is that? It's so dense! Yang Shuocheng asked.

Mu Wei shook his head: "Let's go and have a look first." ”

But Congsi stopped the two: "Wait until I see if there is a mechanism in it." ”

The two agreed, and they consciously stepped aside.

I saw that Cong Silk took out a ball glowing with blue-green light from the small toolbox behind him, put it on the ground, and quickly rolled towards the depths of the passage.

"...... this?" Mu Wei was a little puzzled.

"The phosphorus powder ball, a white shell made of snow jade fish, also has a pouch inside it, which is filled with gelatin, and if it is mixed with phosphorus powder made of human bones, it can glow without fire."

Mu Wei was surprised: "I didn't expect there to be such an ingenious object in the world. ”

Yang Shuocheng also looked surprised: "I have long heard that there is a master called 'Holy Hand Poison Monster' in Dongyan Building, who is good at poison arts, pharmacology, and is very whimsical, and can create a lot of novelties. ”

"The phosphorus powder ball, it can't be from the hands of a poisonous monster, right?" Yang Shuocheng looked at Congsi.

Congsi nodded: "Exactly." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard the sound of cold arrows firing from the depths of the passage, and the swishing continued.

After a while, the sound of arrows finally stopped, and he pursed his lips: "It seems that there is a mechanism inside, everyone must be careful when they go in." ”

Everyone was obedient, led by Mu Wei, and slowly entered one by one.

After walking about ten meters, suddenly, Wang Haiyang stepped on a stone slab under his feet, and the stone slab instantly sunken down, if he didn't pull the person back in time, I am afraid that his life would not be guaranteed.

I saw that the road ahead had also crashed due to the depression of the stone slab just now, revealing a deep pit three feet high and full of sharp knives at the bottom.

When Wang Haiyang saw it, cold sweat immediately broke out on his back, and he thanked his own master for his kindness.

Shake your hand from the silk to indicate that there is no hindrance.

Fortunately, a few wooden stakes were driven into the deep pit, otherwise, there would be two or three people who were not good at light work, and they could only wait outside.

Congsi said: "Keep walking, the fragrance is getting stronger and stronger." ”

Hearing this, several people passed through here with their hands and feet.

When they got to the back, although they didn't touch the mechanism again, looking at the hundreds of stubby arrows piled up on the ground, everyone was also cold.

Luckily, they put the phosphor powder balls in to find their way, otherwise they would have become a sieve by now.

At the end of the passage, there is a rather large stone chamber.

When I went down the stone steps, I saw that in the room, a coffin sat in the north and faced south, and next to it were hundreds of corpses kneeling and kowtowing to it. And the little red light I saw before was the corpse of countless flying insects that stayed on the dried corpse.

"Hiss......"

"Is that Li Shijiang's coffin? So many people are buried like this when they die...... And that bug, why did it drag a big blister behind its tail? A stream of red, glowing liquid. ”

Mu Wei said: "These should be the corpse eaters mentioned in the ancient books, their lives are very short, they only eat one meal, but if they want to hatch and reproduce, they must go through several years." ”

"When they die, they guard the tomb through their red glowing tails."

Hearing this, Wan Peng and Wang Haiyang laughed and said, "Mu Gongzi, you are joking, how can that little dead insect guard the tomb?" We can crush it with two fingers! ”

In the next breath, Mu Wei continued: "The fragrance that Chief Master Jingxiao smelled just now must be emitted from the tail of the corpse eater."

"But it's a trap, once a living creature touches the red liquid on its tail, the human body will instantly spontaneously combust, and it can't be extinguished with water, so it can only be burned alive, or cut off the burned place."

Hearing this, the two of them, who were still unaware just now, were as quiet as chickens in an instant.

"His grandfather's, so powerful!" Subsequently, Wang Haiyang complained.

Congsi glanced at the two of them: "You two are too strong, stay where you are, I and Mu and Yang will check things in front of them, don't move, otherwise I won't be able to save you later." ”

Hearing this, Wang Haiyang: "......"

Wan Peng: "......"

What does it mean to be too strong!?

Well, looking at the Chief's body and their light body, over the many corpses, as if they were in no man's land, they admit that they are too strong.

……

The three of them first looked around the tomb to understand the situation.

Hopefully I'll find something here, or I'll have to go out and go deeper into the volcano later.

The whole burial chamber is not very large, but there should be a lot of it, tall bronzes, pottery, porcelain, jade, and even the statue of the sacred beast in the sea are placed next to the magnificent coffin.

I saw that the fish had a huge shark fin, a slender body, and a tail like an umbrella, as if it could swim at any time.

Yang Shuocheng's brain was a little watery this time: "This is the fish, the ancient sea beast, specializing in the smooth navigation of sea boats, blessing fishermen, and every time the sea fish spawn, it will appear frequently." ”

"So later people also believed that the fish was a symbol of fertility and good fortune."

Mu Wei nodded: "I didn't expect to be able to read some books." ”

Hearing this, Yang Shuocheng was not convinced: "Senior brother, don't you always look down on me?" ”

"I've been studying with the elders of the clan since I was three years old, so I'm pretty smart!"

Although not as powerful as a prodigy like you......

Mu Wei looked at someone quietly, without saying a word, his eyes were full of banter.

Yang Shuocheng was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly changed the topic: "Ahem...... Let's take a look at the coffin. ”

The other two were secretly amused, and in order to take care of someone's face, they had to turn their attention to the coffin.

I saw the coffin in front of me, the outer layer is made of a hundred years of yellow wood, the seawater pattern is carved on it, and there is the pattern of the beast, outside the coffin, it is neatly inlaid with 8864 pieces of exquisite jade.

"This is too ......" For a while, Yang Shuocheng couldn't think of any relevant adjectives at all.

Congsi said: "For the royal family, this is normal. ”

"Open?" From the silk looked back at Mu Wei.

After Mu Wei hesitated for more than a dozen breaths, he exhaled heavily, as if he sat down to decide his life and death.

"Let's go."

They have been looking for hundreds of years, and they may not be able to find it in a hurry, but I hope that they can find it.

The three of them worked together to push the lid open, revealing the three-tiered coffin inside, as well as a large number of funerary goods.

Looking at the innermost layer of coffins, I saw the corpse of a male toddler lying in it.

Since he has been dead for many years, he can only be estimated, and he was about five or six years old when he died.

"This is not the tomb of the regent Li Shijiang." Mu Wei spoke, but he couldn't hear the emotional fluctuations.

Congsi looked at the young child's corpse carefully: "It has been recorded in the history books that Li Shijiang assisted the emperor, in order to show his loyalty, he endured the pain and killed his son-in-law, and asked for a holy decree, hoping that he could be buried with his wife and son after a hundred years, and seek a family reunion, so as to express his debt over the years." ”

"This boy's corpse should be Li Shijiang's son-in-law."

Mu Wei shook his head and said: "Even if you are in the royal family, you have to do it as a last resort, but you still show cruelty. ”

Just ask the whole world, that father is willing to kill his own son, and then do things for others wholeheartedly?

Yang Shuocheng also sighed, but stopped talking.

……

After that, everyone carefully rummaged through the burial goods in the coffin, but they couldn't find the Xiong Linglong Stone and the Transformation Dan Dan Fang.

In desperation, they had no choice but to leave this place and continue to look for other burial chambers, especially the tomb of the regent Li Shijiang.
