Chapter 74 The Huge Sarcophagus

I walked over carefully and shouted tentatively: "Wenmo! Wenmo! Is it you?" I turned on the flashlight and shone it over, and it was Wenmo.

Wenmo turned his head and looked at us. He didn't seem surprised by our arrival, but just said lightly: "You shouldn't come here."

I smiled bitterly, "Do you think I want to come!"

I turned on the flashlight and shone the black shadow in front of Wen Mo. I saw that there was a large circular stone platform. There seemed to be some carvings around the stone platform, and above it was a square huge stone.

This huge stone looks very natural. Except for the shape that seems to have been initially carved and turned into a non-flat rectangle. Apart from this, there is no decoration, no seal carvings, and no carved patterns. It is just an ordinary large stone placed there.

I have an indescribable feeling about this, whether it is strange, whether it is lost, or expectation. Judging from the entire experience of our coming here, I always feel that things are not that simple.

I turned to ask Wenmo: "Where is this place?"

Wen Mo looked at the fire moth and mist under his feet, "This is the place where yin and yang intersect."

"Yin and Yang intersect?" I thought for a while, and couldn't help but nodded. "What is this?" I pointed to the huge rock.

Wen Mo's eyes remained at her feet, "Can't you see that?"

"Me?" I took a closer look again, "How could I know what this is? Is it just a big stone? Is it a meteorite?"

Yuanxiao also approached the huge rock, observed it carefully, and turned around the huge rock for a whole lot. As he looked, his face gradually changed and his breathing increased significantly.

I saw something was wrong with him, so I walked over, "Lanxiao, what's wrong with you?"

Lantern Festival pointed to the huge stone, "Look at what this is?"

I looked back with some confusion, "Isn't this a stone? What's wrong?"

"No," Yuanxiao took a deep breath, "Look, although this huge rock is not carved, you can find that its two ends are not the same size."

I smiled, "You are talking nonsense, it's not normal that the two ends are asymmetrical."

Yuanxiao waved his hand, "It's not like that. This huge rock has not been processed anywhere else, but the two ends have been changed. Although one side is big and the other is small, the big one is very symmetrical."

I was confused by the words of Yuanxiao, "What are you talking about in a mess, one big and the other small, and what are the symmetry..." As I said that, I suddenly realized something, ran to the huge rock, looked carefully, and there was a thunderclap in my mind. I finally knew what Yuanxiao wanted to say, but I still couldn't believe that Yuanxiao felt the same way. Because we saw that this huge rock was obviously a huge coffin!

Actually, I should have seen it for a long time, and the characteristics of its coffin are quite obvious, especially the lid, but because it is too big, we really didn't expect that there would be such a large coffin in the world, and we didn't think about it in this direction at all.

I really couldn't figure out why there was such a huge sarcophagus here. I suddenly remembered the ancient rock paintings we saw in the underground river channel. It seemed that the coffin on the rock painting was really here.

So I really can't imagine who is buried in such a small bus-like coffin? Or is it a person here?

I turned to look at Wen Mo and asked, "This is really a coffin? What is it here?"

Wen Mo shook his head, "Actually, I don't know either."

Yuanxiao took a photo of the circular stone platform under the sarcophagus and said, "This sarcophagus is extraordinary!"

"Nonsense!" I glanced at him and said, "It must be unusual for such a big figure!"

"No, I don't mean that." Yuanxiao pointed to the stone platform under the sarcophagus, "I wonder if you have noticed that the place at our feet, except for the road we came, was almost a square. And the middle of this square is a round stone platform. The ancients always believed that the sky was round. If the square ground under our feet represented the earth, the circular stone platform in the middle represented the sky. And this sarcophagus was above the sky, I don't need to say what was left, you can think about it yourself."

I didn't believe in the words of Lanxiao, and felt that he must be talking nonsense. I turned to Wenmo, hoping to get his confirmation. At this time, Wenmo's expression was grim and said softly: "This shouldn't be something in this world."

This sarcophagus has completely exceeded our cognition range, and even beyond our worldview. We cannot speculate and imagine it, all it can bring us is surprise and shock! The only way to understand it is to open the lid of the sarcophagus and find the answer from it.

But with such a huge volume, its lid may weigh several tons or even more than ten tons. It is completely delusional to lift the coffin lid alone. As for the route here, no lifting equipment cannot reach it. In addition, it goes deep into the mountain, and even if it is used to use a helicopter, it cannot be loaded and lifted. Unless it is used to use explosives to blow up the sarcophagus directly, the things inside are destroyed at the same time. Moreover, except for one road, there are cliffs on all sides of this place. Once it is blasted, it is very likely that it will collapse directly here.

Only then did I realize that we were helpless about this sarcophagus, and we might never be able to see your secret inside it. It is hard for me to imagine how the ancients placed it here. No wonder, as Wen Mo said just now, this is really not something in this world.

Just as our attention was all focused on this huge sarcophagus, suddenly, Kong Xue screamed: "There is a snake!"

We were all shocked and immediately became alert.

"Where?" Yuanxiao asked with a gun.

"It's just under that stone platform." Kong Xue pointed to the round stone platform.

Just now, no one paid attention to the bottom of the stone platform. Could it be that there was really a snake hidden there? Several of us slowly leaned over. Under the flashlight, I really saw the snake scales below the stone platform, and it looked more than one. I felt tight, but after a closer look, I let out a sigh and said, "It's okay, those seem to be just some statues."

"Statue?" Yuanxiao looked carefully again, but did not relax completely. "Let's be careful, don't forget that we also regarded the snakes on the top of the tomb as statues, and almost used them as snacks."

When I heard the words of Yuanxiao, I felt it made sense, so I didn't dare to take it lightly. We observed it carefully for a while, and even touched it with the barrel. We finally relaxed after confirming that there was no danger.

I turned to Kong Xue and said, "It's really just some statues." I glanced at Uncle Kong beside her, and I suddenly found Uncle Kong was looking at the sarcophagus with a strange look. The look seemed to have greedy desire. It seemed that a stingy man saw the treasure, as if a traveler in the desert saw Qingshui.

I turned my head again and found that Yuanxiao and Wenmo were squatting beside the stone platform and studying something. I hurriedly came over. Wenmo pointed to a gap on the stone platform and said, "This stone platform has been destroyed. It seems that there is a piece missing here. I don't know what it is?" When I looked, there was indeed a triangle missing on the round stone platform, and some of the original patterns were also broken along with the missing triangle.

I looked at the Lantern Festival next to me again, and saw that he was trying to insert the scales of the snake statues with a short knife. I patted him, "You guy is crazy about getting rich, it's not worth it to be taken off the scales of the statue."

What’s strange is that Lantern Festival ignored me this time, but put a force on his hand and actually pulled a scale, and handed it to me, "Look, this scale is not carved, but grown on it. These snakes are not statues at all. These snakes are all real, but they are dead, and now they are all snake mummies."

I looked at the scales, which were indeed covered with some muscle tissue. I asked, "Will this snake corpse turn into a snake zongzi?"

Yuanxiao was stunned, "I haven't heard of this before."

I nodded, "Why are snake corpses used for decoration here? Is there any special purpose?"

Wen Mo pointed to the snake corpses, "These snakes are not ordinary snakes, come and see." As he said, Wen Mo asked me to look at the heads of the snakes. As soon as I looked, my eyes could no longer look away because I saw that there were two horns on the heads of the snakes.

I have never heard of snakes with long horns. I counted the number of snakes under this stone platform, there were nine in total, and each one had horns on its head.

For a time, I didn't know if these long-horned snakes could still be called snakes, or should we call them - dragons? The only difference between them and the legendary dragons is that they have no claws.

In this case, this place should be called: Nine Dragon Heavenly Coffin!

In an instant, my mind became very messy. I stood up and slowly walked around the sarcophagus, and came to the edge of the square platform below my feet. Looking at the underground river below the cliff and the flaming moths and mists, they continued to move forward and entered a pitch-black crack.

I stared at the huge crack tightly and slowly discovered that in the absolute darkness, there seemed to be some kind of magic that was attracting me. At the same time, it also made me feel a sense of fear from my heart, which was a fear that came from my bones, and I could hardly breathe. I tried my best to withdraw my gaze and shook my head, and this feeling slowly disappeared.
