As he spoke, Lu Nianqi's eyes fell on the bronze incense burner in front of the jade coffin.

This incense burner is about half a meter high and 40 centimeters wide, and although it is made of bronze, the carving is extremely exquisite.

The lifelike carving of the divine beast above is vivid, and its teeth are fierce and abnormal.

Underneath the incense burner are three arm-thick legs, which are also carved with patterns, but they are green python feet.

Three scaly pythons coiled upward, and the whole incense burner gave people a very heavy feeling.

Su Dingqin saw Lu Nianqi staring directly at the incense burner in front of him, so he asked him if he had found anything.

Lu Nianqi came back to his senses when he heard the question, saying that there was something wrong with this incense burner.

According to common sense, it is impossible to hide an incense burner in the mausoleum, because the coffin is a thing of the underworld, and the incense burner is a thing of the yang world.

The coffin was inside and the incense burner was outside, and he had never heard of anyone worshipping the coffin owner in the mausoleum since ancient times, so he guessed that the incense burner was not used for worship.

And even the lid on top of the incense burner should be open rather than closed, and now the lid on top of the incense burner is called incense sealing in the jargon, and even if incense is burned in the incense burner, it cannot be received by those below.

"Brother Lu, what do you mean this incense burner is for?" Su Dingqin looked at Lu Nianqi and asked.

"I don't know exactly what to do with it, but now the incense burner is in front of us, and we can just open it and see it."

After speaking, Lu Nianqi glanced at a few of us, and whispered: "Since this incense burner hidden in the main tomb must have a great effect, I am worried that there will be a mechanism inside, a few of you retreat to the side, and you will come back after I eliminate the danger." ”

Hearing this, a few of us nodded in agreement, and then retreated to a position about three meters away from the incense burner.

Lu Nianqi took a step forward after seeing a few of us stay away from the incense burner, squatting down and carefully observing the incense burner in front of him.

After a moment, he stretched out his hands and slowly placed them on the lid, and then carefully lifted the lid.

Seeing that the gap between the furnace lid and the furnace body was slowly leaking, several of us were holding our breath and did not dare to say a word, and soon Lu Nianqi lifted the furnace lid completely, and when he looked down, his face suddenly changed, and his expression was slightly surprised.

"What's in this censer?" Ning Nanxi walked briskly in the direction of the incense burner as he spoke.

Lu Nianqi turned around and looked at us, and said in surprise: "This incense burner is empty, not only is there no incense burning, not even incense ash, there are only some black-brown scum at the bottom, I don't know what it is." ”

Hearing this, Su Dingqin took the lead in stepping forward to check, and Shen Nanxiao and I followed closely to the incense burner.

Looking down, the incense burner was indeed empty, with only some black-brown residues left at the bottom.

"How can it be empty, since there is nothing in the incense burner, why would the tomb owner let this incense burner be placed here, could it be that there are other meanings?" Ning Nanxi looked at the incense burner fox and asked.

As we spoke, we all looked inside the incense burner, and only Su Dingqin kept observing the bottom of the incense burner.

About two or three minutes later, Su Dingqin pulled out the folding fan on his waist, raised his hand through the folding fan and pointed to the bottom of the incense burner, and said in a deep voice: "There are traces of burning at the bottom of this bronze furnace, if I guess correctly, this incense burner is not for worship, but for alchemy furnace!" ”

After Su Dingqin finished speaking, without waiting for a few of us to come back to his senses, he bent down and put his hand into the furnace, pinched some black-brown scum with his fingers and put it on his fingertips.

After twisting it vigorously a few times, I put it under my nose and sniffed it carefully, and when I saw that it was so serious, none of us opened our mouths to disturb.

After about half a minute, Su Dingqin's complexion changed suddenly, and sweat began to ooze from his forehead.

Seeing Su Dingqin's reaction like this, Shen Nanxiao couldn't help it, and asked in a deep voice, "Brother Dingqin, is there anything wrong with this black slag?" ”

"This is not slag but refining slag, according to the smell of the slag, it should be a human organ to distinguish the previously refined thing, because in addition to the smell of blood, there is also a sour smell in this smell, which is the same as the smell of human internal organs." Su Dingqin responded.

I couldn't help but be shocked when I heard this, nearly ten young people in the city lost their internal organs before, and now the things refined in this medicine furnace are also internal organs, could it be that there is some connection between them?

Thinking of this, I looked at Su Dingqin and asked, "Brother Su, did you say that the organs in this medicine furnace will be related to the missing organs in the city, didn't you and Brother Lu guess that there were other people here besides us and Nilong'er Xiang Liang, could it be that this person is a serial killer who committed crimes in the city!" ”

Su Dingqin was about to open his mouth when he heard the question, when Ning Nanxi hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Impossible, if that serial killer breaks into the dense forest, he will definitely be discovered, don't forget that we are all in this dense forest these days, it was previously inferred that this serial killer is not a living person at all, if it is an evil thing, there will definitely be bursts of yin qi on his body, but we have not found any suspicious yin qi in the past few days, which means that it is impossible for an evil thing to come through this dense forest." ”

"No, we haven't been in this dense forest for a while!" I looked at Ning Nanxi and retorted.

When Ning Nanxi and I got the antler frost, we left Yangguanling and returned to the city, and on the way back, the driver said that the serial killer had killed ten people.

Later, after discussion, we returned to the dense forest again, when Su Dingqin and Shen Nanxiao were no longer among them, and only a few human skins remained in the camp.

The supernumerary staff of the Miscellaneous Affairs Section who was guarding this place has died, so it's likely that the serial killer infiltrated the jungle while we weren't there.

This makes perfect sense, because after ten deaths in the city, the serial killer has stopped killing people, and he has every chance and time to sneak into the mausoleum.

I told everyone what I thought, Shen Nanxiao slapped his thigh after hearing this, and said: "Brother Chen is right, at that time, Brother Ding Qin and I went to the city to contact the members of the miscellaneous affairs department, and it was indeed not in the dense forest, and the remaining supernumerary personnel also died during this time, it seems that the serial killer did come here!" ”

"If that's the case, then we can be sure that the tomb owner is related to the murder of the people in the city, and now that he has escaped from the mausoleum, the nearby urban areas and towns must be extremely dangerous, I think our next plan is to leave the dense forest quickly, notify the police stations to guard against it, even if we can't find the tomb owner, we must find the serial killer, because he is very likely to know the identity of the tomb owner."

After listening to Su Dingqin, everyone felt that there was some truth, and they couldn't stop nodding, but I had a trace of doubt in my heart, and I always felt that things were not so simple.

Perhaps seeing the faint expression on my face, Su Dingqin raised his hand and patted my shoulder, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Chen, do you still have any doubts?" ”

"There is indeed something I don't understand, if this tomb owner came back to life and left here because of the elixir he refined, then how did Ni Long'er die in the first place, he never opened the fourteen coffins in the stone room outside, it can't be that the strange fish forced him to write the four words of the tomb robber's death, right?" I looked at Su Dingqin and the others and asked puzzled.

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent for a while, because they couldn't explain the problem, and after about a few minutes, Su Dingqin looked at me and asked, "Then why do you think Xiang Liang was injured?" ”

"I suspect that there is a person hidden in this tomb in addition to the tomb owner, it is this person who seriously injured Ni Long'er, as for the later murder in the city, it was also committed by this person, but even so, I still can't explain a little, that is, since this person can seriously injure Ni Long'er, why did he wait more than ten years before he started, if he can resurrect the tomb owner by using people's internal organs, then why didn't he act in the early years, he had to wait until now?" I looked at the crowd and said.

"Maybe he didn't know the materials for refining the pill a few years ago, and it took him more than ten years to find the secret method, and according to what I just observed, there are other materials in this medicine residue in addition to the internal organs of the human body, as for what it is, I can't tell what it is, but it is definitely not exactly the refining of internal organs, because this kind of five-visceral alchemy method I know that it is impossible to resurrect a dead person." Su Dingqin said in a deep voice.

If the facts are really according to what Su Dingqin said, then it is reasonable, but if we want to know the truth of the matter, it seems that we can only find the tomb owner or a serial killer, and only in this way can the mystery be completely solved.

Just as he was pondering, Lu Nianqi had already gotten up and walked to the jade coffin, he stretched out his hand and quietly sensed the jade coffin, with a look of enjoyment on his face.

"I have stolen thousands of tombs, wooden, stone, and gold coffins have been seen, but the jade coffin is the first time I have seen it, and I have never seen a blood jade coffin, this coffin is carved from a whole piece ......of jade, and it is rare in the world."

Lu Nianqi suddenly stopped abruptly in the middle of his words, and judging from his facial expression, he seemed to have thought of something.

"What's wrong, Brother Lu?" Ning Nanxi asked.

"I suddenly remembered one thing, since ancient times, there has been a sect called the coffin door, this sect specializes in making all kinds of coffins, and uses the coffin to study various secret techniques, now we have a blood jade coffin in front of us is rare in the world, maybe we can find some clues from the coffin door, if the coffin door has a record of the blood jade coffin, we can follow the vine to know who the tomb owner is, as long as we know who the tomb owner is, we have the direction to investigate his whereabouts and purposes, how do you think?" Lu Nianqi said in a deep voice.

"I have heard of the coffin door, this sect is very mysterious, I heard that not only can you build a coffin but also control the coffin, and you also have a relationship with ghosts and gods, the miscellaneous affairs department has sent people to contact the owner of the coffin door several times, but none of them have found its whereabouts, Brother Lu, do you have a way to find the trace of the coffin door?" Su Dingqin asked.

"Although I don't know where the coffin door is, since they have dealings with ghosts and gods, they can use ghosts and gods to inquire about the location of the coffin door, I think this blood jade coffin is a breakthrough, we can't let it go." Lu Nianqi cut the railway.

Ning Nanxi heard this and reached out in front of the blood jade coffin and stroked it, and then said: "It's a breakthrough, but this blood jade coffin weighs thousands of catties, how to transport it out with the strength of a few of us, there are more than ten kilometers from here to the Diwang Temple, if you are consignment all the way to such a long distance, when will you be able to escape from here?" ”

"I really can't smash this blood jade coffin, only take a piece of jade to find the coffin door, I think with the ability of the coffin door, I should be able to restore the appearance of the bloody jade coffin with the broken jade." Shen Nanxiao said with some urgency.

Hearing this, Lu Nianqi was just about to say something to stop it, when Su Dingqin raised his hand and waved a folding fan, dissuading him: "No, this jade coffin is a rare thing, wouldn't it be a pity if it was smashed by us, in my opinion, we have to find another way, if it really can't be shipped, I will contact the members of the miscellaneous affairs department and ask them to send more people to move the coffin, I don't believe that dozens of people can't move this coffin out of here!" ”
