Chapter 431: Empty Coffin of Doubtful Grave

Walked a journey, there is a stone wall in front, turn right and walk not long again, at this time, Li Yihang found himself in a miniature city, this city is built in the hollow place on the top of the mountain, on his left is the city wall made of smooth stone bricks, in the middle is some hideous and strange stone people and stone beasts, the pool has three large sarcophagi placed in a regular triangle, far away, and the fire is dim, can not see really, in addition there is nothing else, there seems to be a wind hole secret hole in the city, although the gloomy bad luck is heavy, there is no obstacle to the living people and living things. Li Yihang kept in mind the six-character proverb and did not dare to approach.

He wanted to go back, but when he looked down, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat all over his body, and saw a skeleton lying next to his feet. The scene was too unexpected, and he froze, and wondered, "Could it be a tomb robber?" But the gate has not been opened, and there is another way in?" Leaning down to look at the skeleton, he saw that his clothes had also rotted into dust, and beside him lay an iron shovel and a hammer, which were rusted by the light of the torches. He lifted the hammer, his hand was heavy, and he was about thirty pounds, and he raised the hammer to smash it against the stone wall beside him. He was stunned again: "This hammer is so easy to handle, and the stone wall is so hard, it is very extraordinary, this person must be a stonemason." Seeing that the place where the hammer head smashed on the stone wall was very smooth, and there was not even a shallow pit, he pondered slightly, and walked all the way down with a torch. After walking a dozen steps, I saw two more skeletons on the ground, one sitting against the wall, and the other curled up in a ball. Then he thought, "This is the tomb of the master, and these three people are either tomb robbers or builders." After a few more feet, he turned to the right along the wall, and there were eleven skeletons beside him, sitting or lying, with tools beside them. A few pairs of rotten burdens, five or six iron pens, three iron chisels, Li Yihang thought again: "Judging from these tools, the fourteen people must be the laborers of the tomb, in order to avoid the leakage of secrets, Lu Dingzhao actually trapped them all here to death, too vicious, really not good." The master knew that he was afraid that he would scold Lu Dingzhao for doing a lot of evil, which would affect his reputation. ”

Walking all the way back and going out of the tomb door safely, Hua Yuan asked, "What's going on inside?"

Li Yihang lowered his head and didn't dare to speak, and one person truthfully told him that there were three coffins and more than a dozen burial corpses inside, and there was no danger. When everyone heard the word "coffin", they couldn't help but be overjoyed, cheered, and said: "Rich people are not afraid of God, and they are deceived by ghosts if they have no money." The secret in the coffin is brought by hand, since there is no mechanism, what are you waiting for? "Everyone must remember the previous agreement, don't mess with your hands and feet, if you touch the mechanism, there will be no good fruit to eat." "If you are disobedient, Big Brother Gao will not show mercy to his subordinates, don't fall short at the last step. ”

Gordon had an extra heart, he was afraid that if something went wrong after entering, he would be trapped in the tomb and not be able to escape, so he thought about leaving a way back, and looked up at the top in front of the tomb door and groaned, and everyone also looked up, and there was no abnormality. After looking at it for a while, Gordon said to Ye Xijin: "I heard that many tomb robbers can't get out after entering the underground palace, let's take history as a lesson to prevent a thousand catties of boulders from falling on the top, and ask the brothers to put a few stones outside the door, so that there will really be a big stone falling down and sealing the door, and there will be a gap to climb out." Ye Xijin said: "What Brother Gao said is extremely true, brothers, quickly carry eight stone barriers." ”

After doing it, Gordon and Ye Xijin took everyone into the underground palace, and the horse lantern hanging on the long pole looked around, and sure enough, as Li Yihang said, this city built on the top of Lianxin Peak, surrounded by the city wall, there is a bell tower and an enemy tower on the city, there is like a tomb, it is clearly like a city of soldiers in a cave, the other three sides of the city gate are closed, and they stand oppositely, the city in this cave has an empty shape, there is no house attic in the city, and the scale of the real city is much smaller, like a miniature version of the city, a model for people to play, but it is not easy to build in the big mountain cave。

Seeing this scale, Gordon secretly said in his heart: "His grandmother's Qin Tianshu lived in such a magnificent underground palace after his death, it was really a well-deserved death, Lao Tzu put you in the coffin first, and after finishing the business, then come here to make some traps, hide here and wait for death, it's not bad, this is the dove occupies the magpie's nest." Haha, haha!"

Li Yihang saw that this underground palace was more complicated and weird than the Han Tomb and Guanyin Tomb outside Yuezhou City, and he had to mention the spirit of the twelve.

The stone men and stone beasts in the city are placed in a disorderly manner, the strange thing is that whether it is a stone man or a stone beast, they are all eyes with round eyes and ears erected, the image is very hideous and terrifying, and the mouth is wide open, the long and sharp fangs are prominent, and the mouth of the black hole is bottomless, as if they want to eat the thieves who come in to rob the tomb into their mouths and swallow them into their stomachs, in it, even Ye Xijin can't help but be frightened, Gordon reminded everyone: "Don't touch these weird guys, maybe they will breathe fire and water in their mouths." Ye Xijin said: "Yes, don't move your hands and feet." ”

Everyone cautiously came to the center of the city, where there were three sarcophagi quietly placed, all of them were tightly closed, the coffin board was engraved with patterned graphics, look carefully, they are all some martial arts people practicing martial arts and meditating graphics, everyone can not suppress the joy in their hearts when they see it, the possibility of hiding the secret of martial arts in the coffin has increased greatly, how can it not be exciting?

Gao Deng looked around, the wall-like tomb wall was dark and deep, the heavy door was closed, there were no poisonous insects here, from the scale, direction, and characteristics of this city, it should be the tomb, Qin Tianshu is just the head of the Beidou faction, sleeping here is already a big transgression, it is impossible to divide the front hall and the back hall, I don't know that among the three sarcophagus, which one is Qin Tianshu's coffin, if it is opened wrongly, I am afraid that it will touch the mechanism. Lu Dingzhao is suspicious, which is difficult to decide, which is extremely tricky.

Ye Xijin looked at the three huge sarcophagi, which might have the secret of martial arts that he dreamed of, and his heart was like a hundred claws scratching his heart, and he really couldn't stand it. All the thieves stared at Gordon with wide eyes, and when he gave the order, they stepped forward and started to pry the coffin.

Gordon was looking at the dark city tower on the city wall, the city tower is a kind of brick building with a lookout hole, built on the city wall can be used as an arrow tower, can also watch the enemy, he felt more and more wrong, keen intuition felt that there was an extremely dangerous atmosphere in this city, there should be silence in the ancient tomb, but the dead silence on the city tower made him feel uneasy, this subtle feeling except for him and Li Yihang, no one can perceive it, just like the experienced old fox noticed the trap of the hunter, but the group of thieves scattered around, the breath was chaotic, for a while he could not distinguish what danger was hidden in the city wall。

Everyone quietly looked at Gao Deng, who was out of his mind, and Hua Yuan called softly, "Master, Master." Gordon came back to his senses, saw that everyone was staring at him, thinking that this time he came here with great fanfare, wasn't it just for the secret in the coffin, there was nothing else around, if there was really a secret buried, it must be in the coffin, he had experienced countless winds and waves in his life, how could he be frightened by this Qin Tianshu, who had been dead for more than 20 years? ”

Under the command of Ye Xijin, more than ten people immediately stepped forward to pry three sarcophagi, these people are familiar with the copper coffin, wooden coffin, sarcophagus, these three sarcophagi can be rare for them? Only for a while, one sarcophagus coffin cover plate was loosened, and the people who opened the other two sarcophagi stopped, and watched intently as the four people lifted the sarcophagus away, after the slate was removed, a lacquer coffin appeared inside, painted with gold, and a few pearls and several pieces of jade were embedded in the coffin board. Looking at the paintings on the coffin board, it was full of scenes of martial arts practice, Gordon couldn't help but be excited, staring at everyone with a nervous expression, and Li Yihang also stretched his neck to watch.

But when the wooden coffin was opened, it was found that it was empty, not to mention the secret of martial arts, not even a single bone, everyone, including Li Yihang, was very surprised, everyone originally thought in their hearts, if this coffin was not Qin Tianshu, it was a classic book, but where can you imagine that it was empty? Gordon's face was gloomy, and he ordered the other two sarcophagi to be opened together, and the result was a big disappointment, the three coffins were all empty coffins, and the group of thieves immediately exploded, some scolded the mother, some scolded the sky, and some scolded Qin Tianshu and Lu Dingzhao.

Ye Xijin scolded: "Damn, hateful, this Lu Dingzhao even put a fake coffin to deceive us...... Alas, no, let's withdraw immediately!" Gordon said: "What's wrong?" Ye Xijin said: "Let's talk about it when we get out of the tomb." Brothers, retreat to the graveyard at once, and go now. As soon as someone stepped into the stone gate, there were several loud noises, and the jack of the stone gate hidden at the top of the tomb door fell suddenly, crushing several robbers who walked in front of the door into meat sauce, and even a shout could not be issued, and even the stone strips that were originally placed at the entrance to prevent falling stones and closed the door were smashed into a mess, and the huge stones blocked the door, leaving only a gap more than half a foot high, and I don't know if I could climb out.

The faces of the people walking behind all changed color, although they were not stoned to death on the spot, but if they couldn't push the boulder away, they would still be trapped in the tomb, at this time, who could calm down? Just when the thieves were panicking, Gordon shouted: "Everyone Zhenzhen, we are all people who learn martial arts, as long as we work together, even if we can't climb out of this gap, we can push the boulder away and rise, just like the previous stone." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard the sound of the running water on the enemy tower, and the sound of bowstrings and crossbows on the surrounding city walls was extremely dense.

Ye Xijin used to lead the crowd to rob the tomb and dig the grave, and he never missed once, and he has always been very conceited about his means, but the drowned one has always been able to water, and there is a way for a good swimmer to drown, full of thinking that digging the tomb and the tomb door, blocking the venom at the entrance of the underground palace, you can go straight to the Yellow Dragon, but it is too big, this time it is really a dead end with no return.

At this time, there was no time to judge whether the opening of the coffin attracted the mechanism in the tomb, and the jack gate that cut off the way smashed down. I only heard the sound of the mechanism on the enemy tower of the city, and the sound of strings on the black whirring walls around was dense and tense, and the sudden sound of provoking the nerves of the thieves made everyone tremble, as if they had heard the footsteps of the god of death.

Li Yihang knew that this was an omen of the crossbow in this city, and ten thousand arrows would be fired in an instant, he didn't dare to move, he hid under the left city wall and shrank under the big shield, just hidden, the arrows on the four city walls began to shoot down. Flying arrows rained down, and when even a few people fell to the ground with arrows, some people were eye-catching, and when they saw Li Yihang shooting at the corner of the wall and using a big shield to protect their bodies, they did the same, and they also shrank under the corner of the city wall to dodge. After all, those flying arrows are dead things, all the arrows will always only shoot in one direction, although dense, but as long as you are in the direction is safe, as long as you don't walk around, then no matter when you are safe, the thieves understand this truth, some hide under the city wall, some stand motionless in the clearing, listening to and watching the long arrows and short crossbows shoot past them, almost frightened. There are also those who can't stand the fright of the arrows and crossbows, and they are injured by running around. After a while, the bow and arrow were exhausted, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Gordon counted the number of people, there were eight unlucky ghosts killed by the arrow, and seven people were injured, those arrows into the flesh were all barbed, it was difficult to pull out, Ye Xijin didn't care about their pain, cut the flesh of their wounds with a short sword, and pulled out the arrows stiffly, it was so painful that several people called their mothers and fathers.

Seeing that there were no more bows and arrows to shoot, Gao Deng laughed and said: "Qin Tianshu, you bastard wants to take us, but it's not so easy, let me find your body later, and see how we crush your bones and ashes and fight with Lao Tzu, are you old and dizzy? Brothers, let's work together to push away this boulder and escape." "The thieves have long lost their desire to hunt for treasures, and it has become their greatest hope to leave a life.

Everyone had just gathered at the door of the tomb, and suddenly the sound of "hissing" echoed in the silent tomb, and everyone was shocked again, knowing that there was danger approaching, and they were at a loss to know why, and suddenly someone shouted: "Look at the stone man and stone beast!" Li Yihang turned around and looked, and in the dim light, he saw the stone man and stone beast spewing yellow gas out of its mouth, which turned into a faint mist and condensed in the air after it was emitted. Gordon shouted, "Poison gas!" Everyone covered their faces with wet clothes and cloths, and destroyed the gas trap. "Can you go to get a wet cloth at that time? Gordon knew that it was in vain, and immediately took the lead in jumping to the center of the city, splitting out a palm, knocking down a stone man, revealing a wrist-sized trachea hole on the ground, and was whirring yellow mist, tearing the clothes on his body and stuffing the holes to prevent the yellow smoke from coming out, Hua Yuan and others knew that the situation was urgent, and they also followed suit, and when they pushed down all the stone men and stone beasts, and blocked the pipe, the air had turned a faint yellow, everyone breathed, and they all felt that there was a burning sensation in their throats and lungs, and some people felt dizzy and dizzy and fell asleep, Gordon knew that something was wrong, and jumped up more than a foot high, and found that the poisonous smoke in the high places was thicker, so he shouted: "Everyone lay down to reduce their activities, put their heads on the ground, and wait for the smoke to dissipate. ”
