Volume 1: The Mystery of Dunhuang Chapter 44 The Bronze Coffin of the Seven Stars

The coffin is located in a space about the size of a basketball court.

Beneath that space was an abyss, pitch black, like another world floating in the void.

Under the bronze coffin, where the eight drawbridges are connected, there are eight huge stone beasts, and all of them are the same as the ones seen before the stone gate, all of them are in the shape of dragons, but these are many times larger than those two.

I don't know how long we've been in this tomb, but now that I've finally found this final belonging, I guess the dragon soul of Kyushu that Liu Baye said should also be in that bronze coffin.

Obviously, we have reached our final destination, but none of the five of us are excited or excited about it, and the reason is the stone statues of the eight dragon beasts.

They won't be placed there for no reason, and they are placed so regularly that they hide even more unpredictable weirdness.

"Boss, the copper coffin, it's a copper coffin, there must be a baby with an old nose in it, this time we can make a fortune!"

It was still the beast's subordinate, looking at the bronze coffin opposite, his eyes were already shining, and he couldn't wait to rush over.

Lou Tianguan is obviously also very excited, you must know that in order to find the treasure in this Western Han Dynasty tomb, he is a lost soldier, to be precise, the reason why he has been able to get to this point is that the road under his feet is completely paved by his subordinates with their lives.

Perhaps because of this, although he has seen the bronze coffin now, Lou Tianguan has not lost his reason.

"You go first!"

A hint of chill flashed in Lou Tianguan's eyes, and then he pointed the muzzle of the gun at us again.

In the face of Lou Tianguan's threat again, we had to compromise again.

There is no doubt that although there are eight identical suspension bridges in front of us, Liu Tingting has just used her method of touching gold and finding dragons to find the final way for us to survive.

One by one, the five of us stepped onto the decaying suspension bridge, which was no different from the one we had encountered before, with rotten wooden planks underfoot and rusty chains on both sides.

After the dangers we encountered before, this time we are more cautious, even Wu Fatzi is extremely careful, and he has to try every step before he dares to raise his legs.

I walked in front, almost ten meters later, I smelled a strong smell of gunpowder, which was left over from the explosion of explosives, and the position in front of me was the place where the explosives had exploded in the air before.

Except for the strong smell of gunpowder that lingered for a long time, nothing seemed wrong.

But to be on the safe side, I kept testing the planks in front of me with my feet.

Click!

As I thought, the planks seemed to be intact, but in fact they were just an illusion, and there were no eggs under the power of explosives.

When I tried, three or four planks broke one after another, and I silently fell into the endless abyss below.

"Everyone be careful, when passing by this place, grab the chains on both sides, and try to step as lightly as possible to ensure your own stability."

I opened my mouth to warn, and soon got replies from everyone behind me.

I was the first to cross the gap in front of me, and I moved slowly, partly out of caution, and partly because I wanted my companions behind me to see what was safest, especially the fat man.

I climbed the chains on both sides with my hands over the gap, but when my feet landed on the plank again, my heart suddenly rose to my throat.

At that moment, there was a tingling pain in my left hand, and I raised my hand to see a slender wound in my palm, and bright red blood was constantly spilling down the wound.

I turned my head abruptly and looked at the chain on my left, and found a crack in the chain that I couldn't even notice if I didn't look closely, and the crack looked very new, probably caused by the explosives.

"Slow...... Everyone must be slow! I reminded again.

Finally.

Our five-member team, after going through a lot of hardships, finally arrived on the other side.

I didn't have time to look at the scene before me, so I turned my head to look at the precarious suspension bridge in front of me.

Seeing that we all passed safely, under the leadership of Lou Tianguan, the six of them also began to go up the bridge.

As they reached the gap, I felt the urge to rush up and break the drawbridge again.

Only in that way can we completely get rid of the entanglement and threat of Lou Tianguan.

But in the end I gave up again, because this is the only way to live, and if this drawbridge is destroyed, we will be trapped here forever, buried with the owner of the tomb who lies in the bronze coffin and is not dead.

"Ah......h

A scream was heard.

Lou Tianguan and his group may have been too anxious, and one of them was forced to be squeezed off the suspension bridge, and disappeared into the abyss with a desperate scream.

Not long after, Lou Tianguan successfully arrived at the cost of losing one person.

At this time, there was a delicate situation in front of us, there were five of us at this time, and Lou Tianguan's side was also five people.

The number is surprisingly consistent, but I don't know which side will get out of here alive in the end.

As soon as Lou Tianguan and his party came over, they pointed guns at us, forced us aside, leaving one person with a gun to guard us, and the other three followed Lou Tianguan and strode onto the stone platform with the copper coffin.

On the stone platform, there are eight directions, which should be placed in eight upright stone pillars according to the eight trigram directions, and the stone pillars are carved with the dragon shape in the clouds, and these dragon shapes are all the appearance of three different dragons without exception.

Eight stone pillars were connected to chains the thickness of eight arms, and the other end of the chain was connected to the upper and lower eight convex corners of the bronze coffin.

Unlike the stone pillars, the bronze coffin does not have a dragon-shaped pattern, but some of them are all kinds of images in the sky, the most obvious is the pattern of the Big Dipper running through the thread.

"Hahahaha, rich, rich, brothers, open the coffin!"

With Lou Tianguan's greedy shout, the three subordinates picked up the crowbar prepared in advance and began to recklessly destroy the thousand-year-old bronze coffin.

It is also strange to say, a few strong people tossed so much, the bronze coffin was stunned and did not move, and not even a gap appeared.

Lou Tianguan was furious when he saw this, raised his hand and slapped one of his subordinates, and roared angrily: "Grass, haven't you eaten, pry hard for Lao Tzu!" ”

I have to say that Lou Tianguan was really ruthless, and this slap directly slapped the nose of that subordinate out of blood.

Blood trickled down the jaw of the man and dripped down the bronze coffin.

The blood just fell on the cluster of the Big Dipper, and in the next second, the blood began to spread along that line, and finally connected the Big Dipper with blood.

Squeak!

There was a sound in the bronze coffin, and a crack flashed out of the lid of the copper coffin.

"Hahahaha, I see, I see, it's good, I'll give you a share when the time comes."

The subordinate hurriedly raised his hand and touched the blood on his nose, and bent down to thank Lou Tianguan for a while with a flattering face.

After Lou Tianguan's order, the three subordinates once again inserted the crowbar in their hands into the copper coffin.

This time it seems to be much smoother, because there is a gap, the copper coffin is opening little by little.

Seeing that the bronze coffin was being opened incessantly, I suddenly felt that this scene was familiar.

This reminds me of the scene when I opened the sarcophagus in Luoyang before, maybe there is something weird lying in this copper coffin!

While I was thinking about it, a large gap had been opened in the bronze coffin, and one of the men hurriedly threw away the crowbar in his hand, and couldn't wait to reach for the bronze coffin.

In the next second, what I had feared finally happened.

At first, the face of the subordinate was still full of surprise and greed, but in the blink of an eye, it was replaced by boundless horror.

He screamed and tried to pull out the hand that had been put into the coffin, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't.

"Someone grabbed my hand...... Someone grabbed my hand...... Top dog...... Save me......! ”
