Chapter 39 Iron Coffin Locking Demon
After a while, I woke up, shook my head and breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly scolded myself for being heartless. I called out "Lanxiao" twice, but no one responded to me at all. I knew that Lanxiao must be attracted by the scene in front of me like me.
I raised my hand and touched Yuanxiao's shoulder, found his face, and gave him a mouth without much force.
With a "bang", Yuanxiao woke up suddenly, "Damn! I'm fascinated, so shocked!"
"Okay!" I said, "No matter how shocked or dreamy I don't want to die here! Let's find a way out!"
"Ah! Yes!" Yuanxiao and I began to look around. Sure enough, on one of the channels, we found that every step or so, there would be an area without photoelectricity. I was shocked by the countless light spots in front of me and didn't notice these blank areas. Now we found it after a closer look. This area is not big, and it can accommodate two feet. But this is enough for us. Such areas appear alternately on the left and right, one extends to the distance.
This discovery made Yuanxiao and I very happy, "It's great!" "It's saved!"
Yuanxiao took a careful step and stepped on the nearest area without light spots. As Yuanxiao's footsteps landed, the surrounding light spots also moved with the vibration. Fortunately, these scorpions did not approach, but instead moved outward, making the area where Yuanxiao landed larger. Sure enough, there was a door, but despite this, Yuanxiao still did not dare to take the second step rashly.
I asked Yuanxiao softly, "How is it? Is there a scorpion climbing up?"
Yuanxiao was silent for a while, "I don't know, I can't feel the thick pants!"
"Then you reach out and touch it!" I suggested.
"Yeah!" Yuanxiao nodded and wanted to lower her head. She suddenly stood up and said to me, "Fuck! What's your heart? You guys are so worried about it. Do you think I was not stung badly enough, right?" Yuanxiao thought for a while and continued, "Forget it, don't worry, just go like this! Anyway, stretching your head and slashing your head is also a knife!" After that, Yuanxiao stepped on the blank area on the ground and walked forward step by step quickly.
I didn't dare to stay, followed behind the Lantern Festival and left quickly.
We walked along the way with concentration, staring all our eyes on the ground beneath our feet, fearing that our mistakes would lead to eternal regret!
We walked for a long time, and suddenly, I heard the Lantern Festival in front of me roar and then jumped forward with great force. I was surprised. Could it be that it was the exit?
Sure enough, as soon as I looked up, I saw a large open space in front, with no trace of light on it. I thought it might have really reached the exit! I also jumped forward with force, and the moment my feet landed on the ground, my heart suddenly felt much more relaxed.
I couldn't find the location of Lantern Festival, so I whispered: "Lantern Festival! Lantern Festival, where are you?"
Soon, the sound of Lantern Festival came not far ahead, "I'm here! Come here!"
I walked to the place where the sound came out, and Yuanxiao asked, "Is this the exit?"
I shook my head, but when I remembered that he couldn't see it, he said, "I don't know either!"
Yuanxiao fumbled through her pocket, "Then can we turn on the flashlight?"
"Okay!" So Yuanxiao and I secretly took out the flashlight and turned it on together. The scene in front of us immediately shocked us.
In front of us was a half-buried city tower, with two city gates tightly closed. What made us even more incredible was that there were six coffins in front of the city gate!
Yuanxiao and I were stunned, "Damn, this is not an exit!" Yuanxiao patted his head vigorously.
I was also stunned, "I'll go, I'll go back!" When we were slandering and moving forward in the ancient city just now, we were just looking at the foot of our feet and didn't pay attention to the direction of our journey. There must be a fork in the road during our journey, but we didn't notice it at all.
I turned around and looked at the ancient passage behind me. There were still a large number of scorpions entrenched. It seemed that when we returned, we were still thrilling and terrifying along the way!
At this time, we are not in a hurry to leave. After all, we have discovered such a location, at least we have to see clearly.
Yuanxiao pointed to the city gate half buried in the soil and said, "You said, what is Ma Jun talking about? The city gate that your second uncle asked him to look at is referring to?"
I nodded, "This is very likely!"
"But," Yuanxiao slowly walked forward a few steps, "What's going on with these coffins? Could it be that there are six tomb owners?"
"This is impossible!" The possibility for this statement is almost zero, so I flatly deny it, "I think these six coffins are probably just burials, and the real tomb owner may be behind this city gate!"
"Hey! Then, will there be any underworld objects or something in this burial coffin?" Yuanxiao said as she walked towards the coffin.
I knew that as long as he just got a shot, he was full of underworld objects, and he was too lazy to pay attention to him. In fact, compared to those coffins, I was more concerned about the two large city gates in front of me.
I remember Ma Jun said this to me, "Uncle Er is here to keep him here and he is staring at the city gate. If the city gate is opened and Uncle Er is not here, Ma Jun will blow up the place.
I couldn't help but be extremely curious about what was hidden behind these two city gates? While thinking, I walked towards the location of the city gate without thinking.
At this time, I saw two quite large bronze fire staves on both sides of the city gate. This kind of thing was used for lighting or heating in the wild in ancient times. The fire staves are under a bronze bracket, and above them are a solid or hollowed-out brazier. Some shiny pine and other fire-induced objects are put into it, and then ignite them.
I walked to the side of the Bronze Fire Tower, first looked inside, and saw a lot of rosin and wood in the brazier. Although some of them were burnt, some were intact. Looking at the appearance in the brazier, it was obvious that this thing had been ignited recently. I think it was not Ma Jun, but that was the second uncle!
I took out a promotional order from my bag that I had taken in the supermarket during the day. I asked Yuanxiao for a lighter, and lit the promotional order and threw it into the fire. The wood with rosin was very flammable, and soon the red flames jumped in the brazier. I did the same thing and ignited another bronze fire mount.
The two burning bronze fire mounts illuminated the huge black shadows of the city gate tower, and also allowed me to vaguely see the outline of the city gate in front of me. Two huge city gates are hidden in the dark door holes on the city gate tower, and above the city gate tower is a not-so-high attic.
Half of the attic is exposed, and the rest is buried by the soil layer above.
I looked at the dark doorway and remembered what Ma Jun said, and a chill rose from the bottom of my heart.
At this moment, Lanxiao suddenly shouted beside him, "Zhuran! Zhuoran! Come and see!"
I turned around and came to Lanxiao, "What's going on?"
Yuanxiao pointed to the edge of the six-mouthed coffin and said, "Look at the cover of the coffin is not tight!"
"What?" I was shocked and immediately raised my flashlight and looked for it. Sure enough, I found that there was a gap of more than half a foot wide between the lid of the coffin and the bottom. It was obvious that the lid of the coffin was not well covered.
Yuanxiao thought for a while and said, "If it was a normal burial, this would never happen. The coffin lid was not covered well. Is it possible?" Yuanxiao said this and turned to look at me, "Is it possible that the person inside kicked it away by himself!"
As soon as the Lantern Festival was said, I got goose bumps all over. I quickly spat, "Don't talk nonsense, can you think of something good? You'll feel uncomfortable if you didn't encounter a zongzi, right?" I looked at the coffin, "I think it's not as evil as you think. Maybe it's just an accident or a coincidence."
Yuanxiao squatted down and studied it carefully, and looked at me with a smile, "Since you think it's okay, should we open it and take a look!"
I was stunned for a moment, and then I remembered the word "The thief will not leave empty", and Lantern Festival must have had the idea of opening the coffin. I carefully considered the proposal of Lantern Festival and nodded in agreement. After all, we know too little about this ancient tomb. If we want to find its specific situation, opening the coffin is probably a necessary means.
Yuanxiao and I each found a focus point on the coffin lid that could make the upper body. Then, with a "crunch", the coffin lid was lifted up by us. We worked together to put the coffin lid aside.
We shine the flashlight into the inside of the coffin and see a sutra cloth covering the top, but when we see the size of the bulging part under the sutra cloth, we find it a little strange.
Generally speaking, the body covered under the sutra cloth should be the corpse, and the size of the corpse can be roughly seen from the extent of the sutra cloth.
In fact, this is also a detail that needs to be paid attention to when turning the rake in the back.
My second uncle once told me something. About ten years ago, he and a few friends in the circle went to Shanxi to make a pot. When they found the location of the ancient tomb and drilled a hole to drill into it, they found that it should be a Ming tomb. The stone sculptures and paintings built inside were very luxurious, which shows that the identity of the tomb owner was extraordinary.
Uncle Er and his group are all good players in the circle. Although there are some information about the mechanism in the tomb, they have all been cracked without any danger.
When they entered the main tomb and saw the coffin on the coffin bed in the middle of the tomb, everyone was shocked because the one placed there was a huge coffin. Of course, in addition to its large size, the most shocking thing was the material of the coffin, because the coffin placed on the coffin bed was neither the most common wooden coffin nor the relatively rare stone coffin, nor the rare bronze coffin, but a black iron coffin!
