Several people immediately gathered over to check. There was a dragon robe inside the dragon-patterned sarcophagus. The dragon robe was well preserved due to the material.
But apart from the dragon robe, there was nothing else, an empty coffin.
Qi Tiezui closed his eyes and sighed deeply, with some regret and unfounded compassion.
Did King Ye Gong not even have a coffin for burial?
The blood on Xu Nanshan's body stopped. He stood up and looked at the stone platform. "This is not the end point. The end point is an altar."
Hu Yuzhi raised her hand to support him and spoke for him.
"That's right. When we came in, we saw some texts used by Ye State to record. The texts roughly recorded the later history. After the fall of Ye State, the imperial master did not die. He personally buried the emperor."
"What happened next?" Ji Lanqian asked them.
Now that all the stories have been told, there is only one last step left to connect them all.
How did Xu Guoshi die?
Why was the Shen'e clan cursed for hundreds of years after his death?
Hu Yuzhi shook his head, "There are no answers left, only a picture of an altar. According to records, a place surrounded by dragon pillars and protected by stone dragons is the Ye Kingdom Altar."
But this is already the last stop, the main tomb of Ye State.
The blind man stepped on the same spot a few times, and then moved to another place. "Boss Xu is really lucky. I'm right. The bottom is probably empty, and there is still a layer of space."
Zhang Qiling's eyes, covered by broken hair, were slightly bright. He held a Tang knife and raised his chin to look up. The top of the main coffin was built into a circle, and the carved double dragons playing with beads were lifelike.
Master Hei also looked up, "Look, I've found it."
Jiang He also praised from the side, "Brother, you two are so capable. You were born to fight."
Master Hei glanced at him, and what he said didn't sound like a compliment.
At this time, Qi Tiezui's eyes fell on Zhang Qiling. His movement of raising his head revealed his jawline. In the darkness, he felt inexplicably familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.
Ji Lanqian looked in the direction of Qi Tiezui, with the corners of her lips slightly pressed.
No one paid attention to this subtle scene.
At this time, Zhang Qiling stepped on the sarcophagus and took advantage of the strength. He quickly landed on the protruding structure on the side, then turned back and drew his knife and slashed towards the double dragon playing beads in the center.
That knife smashed the protruding bead in the center.
I saw that there was an immediate movement below, and the entire stone platform, except for the coffin in the center, retracted, revealing the structure at the bottom.
The blind man retreated continuously and almost fell. He glanced at Ji Lanqian and said to them, "Take the rope and go down. How about Boss Xu staying on top and waiting?"
Xu Nanshan waved his hand and refused, "No, I have to go down. I want to see the answer with my own eyes."
Qi Tiezui also wanted to persuade him, but Xu Nanshan didn't listen at all. This was the answer he had been obsessed with for three years. It was related to the entire Shenlong, and he had to go down.
Everyone went down one after another, and when it was Qi Baye's turn, there were only three people left above, Ji Lanqian, Heixiazi, and Jiang He.
Before going down, Master Ba was still concerned about Ji Lanqian, "I'll go down first and catch you below."
She showed a smile and said, "Okay, get down quickly."
Ba Ye nodded and went down bit by bit, shouting to the people below to catch him.
After seeing no one, the black blind man turned to look at the few native masters tied to the pillars, "How will they solve it?"
"Kill, leave no one alive." Ji Lanqian suppressed the smile on her lips, exhausted all the innocence and romance she pretended to have, and said to Jiang He, "Brother He, please dispose of the body cleanly, and don't let Qi Tiezui see it."
The corners of Hei Ye's mouth twitched slightly, and he was speechless. He even knocked her on the head and said, "Damn girl, her mouth is full of iron, and her soul is taken away by him?"
She tied the auxiliary rope around her waist and narrowed her eyes, "The soul is still there."
As she said this, she slowly walked down.
The blind man naturally handed Jiang He a knife.
Jiang He weighed it in his hand and asked one more question, "Really kill him?"
This group of people were ordinary local folk. They were all cut into pieces in the tomb, which seemed a bit cruel to outsiders.
The black blind man walked towards the people on the pillar step by step, "We have to kill them. First of all, they killed Boss Xu. Secondly, they saw our faces. If we go out and talk nonsense, it will be a big trouble."
Jiang He actually agreed.
After all, the bottom of the tomb is also a serious job for the national archaeological team. It will be really troublesome for these local masters to exhume them when the time comes.
Several people on the pillar realized that they had offended the wrong person, and cried for mercy.
The black blind man didn't seem to hear anything, and after a few more blows, he was sure that they were all dead.
Together with Jiang He, he dragged the body into an empty natural cave inside the tomb passage. There was a deep pool inside the cave. The body sank quickly after being thrown in.
No trace.
After that, the two of them went down the rope.
After going down, Qi Tiezui asked them curiously, "What have you two been doing up there for so long?"
Ji Lanqian looked at the two of them warningly.
Don't talk nonsense.
The black blind man curled up his lips and said with a ruthless look, "Those natives are too noisy. Miss Ji ordered them to be released. How to survive in the tomb is up to them."
Qi Tiezui thought to himself, judging from the situation at the bottom of the tomb, these local masters would definitely die.
But Xu Nanshan was injured for half his life.
Miss Ji's approach was kind enough.
"Lan Lan did the right thing." Qi Tiezui praised.
It can be considered a kind of kindness to let those people fend for themselves instead of burying the cause and effect on themselves.
And Ji Lanqian smiled softly and took the shot, "Yes, who makes me such a kind person."
The blind man turned his face away, not looking.
Jiang He simply walked away to see what was in the altar, which was better than listening to the acting of a kind-hearted person like Miss Ji.
The space at the bottom of the tomb is very large and is exactly the same as the one above. The only difference is that there is an extra altar.
In the center of the tomb, surrounded by six dragon pillars, a tall altar stands, with the familiar statue of the mourning bird on it.
Hu Yuzhi called them over, "The platform at the bottom of the statue is a coffin with carved words on it."
"Words?" Qi Tiezui went over and took a look, "Isn't this the inscription on the back of the god?"
The patterns on it were like ghost drawings. Xu Weng spoke at this time without any reservation.
"Yes, it's a death inscription. It's the same as the one on Xu Guoshi's coffin. Newborns born under God will have a death inscription tattooed on their backs. The meaning of the death inscription here is that they made a deal with the evil ghosts of hell and asked Yama to protect the gods. The Clan."
"You can still read funeral texts, that's a great skill." Qi Baye had a new understanding of Xu Weng, the high priest.
