I opened my mouth to remind Xu Jinxiu to make the decision at any time and be prepared for unexpected events. The two of us slowly retreated to the base of the wall, and I observed the situation on the hanging coffin.

"Look, the drawing papers are posted everywhere."

Xu Jinxiu looked along where I was looking. There were drawing papers everywhere around the iron-colored hanging coffin. After looking carefully, Xu Jinxiu frowned slightly.

"Chen Fan, do you think those are the maids who were sacrificed?"

I dare not confirm this. After all, the identity of these sacrificial objects is anyone's possibility. Once a person has some deep obsession, he will do things that ordinary people cannot understand.

For example, in this tomb, there are sacrificial objects where the body is buried. Only people from the Shang Dynasty had the habit of offering sacrifices to ghosts and gods, but this kind of sacrificial method was obviously not used to sacrifice the heirs of gods.

There must be strange clues in the strange places. I thought that the secret of the hanging coffin could not be rashly dissected for the time being.

From the surroundings, the biggest doubts are the hanging corpse and the coffin suspended in the sky. Only by clarifying the sequence can we touch the final secret. Otherwise, if a problem arises, it will be solved by temporary thinking. Not realistic!

"Chen Fan, did you see anything?"

Seeing that I hadn't spoken for such a long time, Xu Jinxiu on the side took the initiative to ask.

I shook my head silently, looking a little solemn.

"Not yet, but I'm wondering about something. Look at the red clothes above."

I pointed at it, and Xu Jinxiu looked up again in confusion. He looked left and right but couldn't find any problem.

"Tell me what's the problem? If you let me look at it this way, I might not be able to find the problem for a long time."

The corner of my mouth twitched and I motioned Xu Jinxiu to look at the top of the red coat.

It doesn't matter, Xu Jinxiu's pupils suddenly tightened, maybe even if he was stupid, he could still find the clues!

"This! This is floating? How is it done?"

Xu Jinxiu circled around carefully. Wherever she looked, the floating red clothes had no fulcrum to float on.

There is absolutely no rope in this world that is thinner than a hair. Even if there is, it can be observed under the action of strong light and reflection.

During this period, we even picked up broken bones on the ground and threw them towards the top of the red coat. There was no silk thread at the top!

"Chen Fan, have you ever thought about something?"

"What?"

Xu Jinxiu's eyes were a little uneasy, and she pointed to the red dress at the top.

"Have you ever felt that no matter which direction we face, the collar of our clothes, that is, the front, will always face our direction?"

I was slightly startled. Just now, the surface of Windless Auto's clothes seemed to be facing his direction. Is this a coincidence?

In order to confirm this guess, I tried to move in another direction, and my eyes were always fixed on the red shirt.

When I moved to the far right side of the tomb, my throat couldn't help but crawl, because the red clothes were slowly moving with me!

The front of the clothes is indeed facing me!

I quickly looked to the left and right, thinking to myself, it would be great if I could activate my yin and yang eyes at this time, at least I could see clearly what was noble.

"I...I'm right. Do you think we might have bumped into something evil?"

I frowned and immediately rejected it.

"Don't think nonsense! These people are very thieves. The more careful they are, the easier they are to be deceived."

Xu Jinxiu subconsciously leaned closer to me. She was still a little nervous about such an unknown and sensitive matter.

"I think the secret should be on this hanging coffin. If there is really resentment, the owner of the red dress is probably the maid next to the owner of the tomb, and the relationship is unusual."

In order to confirm my guess, I made up my mind and handed the flashlight to Xu Jinxiu.

She looked at me doubtfully.

"What are you going to do?"

"I'll go up and take a look at the physical situation. Maybe the secret of the red dress is on the hanging coffin. Maybe we can dig out more secrets!"

After hearing my decision, Xu Jinxiu's appearance changed dramatically.

"Chen Fan, are you crazy! We don't know what the situation is yet and you have to go up. We don't have all the equipment. What if we encounter some evil zongzi?"

I smiled gratefully. If I discover a secret but don't explore it, it will leave a knot in my heart.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on. If you encounter something dangerous, you run away first and I'll give you some advice."

Seeing my evil smile, Xu Jinxiu couldn't help but glance at my mouth.

"Hey! Don't shout for help at that time."

I laughed secretly, what if this little aunt doesn't have fun and shouts for help?

Thinking of the way he used to protect her body temperature from being unbalanced, I really miss that posture.

To be honest, I regret it a lot. What was going on in my head at that time? It’s cheap and I don’t take advantage of it. Isn’t this a turtle bastard?

Without giving it any more thought, I prepared to look for a place I could cling to. Fortunately, the hanging coffin was not too high up, and there were temples extending out on both sides, forming a triangular shape, which was just right for me to cling to.

I jumped up and grabbed it with one hand, but at the moment I grabbed it, the hanging coffin sank for a while as if a weight had been placed on it!

"Click!!!"

This crisp sound was particularly clear in such a quiet environment. It was at this moment that my heart skipped a beat.

"It's finished! What kind of trap did I encounter!"

Then came the sound of "rustling...", like quicksand in a funnel.

I quickly landed on the ground and looked in all directions towards the source of the sound. There were a lot of fine sand flowing out of some small rectangular openings around me, and I could clearly feel that the ground we were on was sinking!

"Oops! You've hit a trap."

Xu Jinxiu shouted and hurriedly looked for the way out. The situation was not right. He had to evacuate first to avoid danger.

But just as we were running towards the exit, the frequency of vibrations under our feet deepened, the tomb chamber's sinking speed increased dramatically, and the exit we came from was also completely blocked!

The only escape hatch was sealed, and my heart skipped a beat.

Looking at the water and sand left in all directions, I can guess without thinking that this is a quicksand tomb! The owner of the tomb tried to pass through the quicksand and buried the intruder alive.

"Damn it! I didn't expect that I would be tricked!"

I cursed secretly and looked around for an exit.
