I can't see very clear details on the side, but the four corners of the entire large wooden box are fixed with bronze rivets.
The whole box looked very solid. I put on the velvet gloves that Uncle Yan gave me and knocked on the wooden box. It was empty.
If you shake it hard, you can hear the sound of metal colliding with each other, and there is a dull feeling transmitted through the box.
After everyone studied it for a moment, they all decided to pry it open violently.
Because they guessed that the big wooden box was not a real coffin, but a coffin.
The coffins in the Central Plains area have coffins.
The coffin is a protective layer surrounding the coffin.
The gaps between the coffins and coffins are sometimes filled with watermarks, quicksand, and other things.
It is also a method of tomb robbing to ensure that the body in the coffin is not damaged.
Because Alai and the old man Guishou have been buried underground somewhere.
So now we only have the crowbar in Leng Yue's hand and the engineer shovel in Da Zhuang's hand.
As for Uncle Yan's bag, it contained explosives and other things.
There is no option to procrastinate any longer, and there is not much dry food left on the body.
So Uncle Yan just pondered for a moment and asked Da Zhuang and his two men to open the coffin.
Leng Yue stepped forward to help, while Uncle Yan led me to the back, already holding the bottle of scarlet liquid tightly in his hand.
I held a flashlight to help them with lighting in case something unexpected happened.
The three of them are all veterans, and opening coffins is not a difficult task for them.
So the wooden board was quickly pried open.
The expected black smoke, quicksand, mercury and other things did not appear.
What came into view was a small sarcophagus about one meter long. The sarcophagus was vertically locked and hung in mid-air in the box by a chain on a baby's arm.
Seeing this strange coffin, everyone was a little curious.
As for the weirdness, it is because there is cinnabar on this sarcophagus and there are many runes on the upper sarcophagus.
I felt that this thing was no ordinary coffin, let alone others.
Uncle Yan stepped forward to watch, and at first he could barely recognize some handwriting.
But the more he looked at it, the more puzzled he became. Finally, he ordered Da Zhuang and Dachuan to put down the sarcophagus, smash the big box, and carry the sarcophagus forward.
After hearing this, I groaned, pointed at the sarcophagus and said, "Uncle Yan, are you sure this sarcophagus can be carried by one person?"
"And this sarcophagus looks very ghostly at first glance. If we don't go inside quickly, what are we doing with it?"
My words directly earned Uncle Yan a look that looked like an idiot.
Qi Dachuan and Da Zhuang worked together to lift the sarcophagus and place it on the ground.
At the same time, the wooden box in front of us was destroyed.
"Little Fifth Master, it seems like your thoughts haven't changed yet?"
"What do we do?"
"Aren't you here just to open coffins and search for sand? How can you run away when you see a coffin?"
I couldn't handle the matter of being choked by Da Zhuang's words. I groaned for a long time and couldn't think of a rebuttal.
Because there is nothing wrong with what he said, but I always feel that this sarcophagus is not a good thing.
The wooden box was destroyed, the road ahead was cleared, and a stone door appeared.
One of the stone doors was already open, and it was dark inside. The light of the flashlight shone in, and it was soon shrouded in darkness.
Uncle Yan glanced at the sarcophagus on the ground and said, "Dazhuang, please work hard to carry this small coffin in, find the main tomb chamber, and then open the coffin."
Da Zhuang said hello and threw the machete in his hand to me. Qi Dachuan also put away the pistol.
The five of us set off again. When we came to the stone gate, I saw the kneeling head relief again. I didn't understand the meaning of the corpse reliefs that appeared everywhere.
Uncle Yan didn't seem to be interested in these. He took out two cold fireworks from his backpack, lit them and threw them directly behind the door.
The cold fireworks exuded a trace of firelight and fell behind the stone door. There were many stone statues inside, and the ground should be made of bluestone slabs.
Because I saw a light cyan reflection, which could not be seen no matter how far away it was.
After waiting for a while, the light of Leng Yanhuo disappeared and no abnormality was found. Then we walked into the stone door under the leadership of Uncle Yan.
The light of the flashlight can only shine to a distance of two or three meters here. Any further away, the light will be scattered, making it difficult to see clearly.
The dust here is very thick. I can smell some dust. It feels very uncomfortable when the dust floats into my nose.
Leng Yue was the last one to come in. After entering, he actually closed the stone door behind him with his backhand.
I was startled when I heard a loud bang.
Then asked why it was closed.
Uncle Yan also looked at Leng Yue.
Leng Yue just walked forward and said: "Something is coming..."
After hearing this, Uncle Yan didn't ask any questions and asked everyone to speed up.
I didn't even have time to see the specific structure of this place before I left the room.
But those kneeling stone sculptures still impressed me deeply.
After leaving this stone room, we came to the real corridor.
The architecture here finally has some characteristics of the Central Plains. The ground is made of bluestone slabs, and both sides of the wall are made of blue bricks. There are no murals, nothing, and all the blue bricks form an arched corridor.
The length of the corridor is not long, only about ten meters away. There are two stone doors at the front, both of which are closed.
The pattern on the stone gate is no longer a kneeling statue of a big-headed baby, but a phoenix totem.
The structures and totems of these two stone doors are almost the same, the only difference is the color.
The color of the phoenix on the stone gate on the left is more golden. Although it has faded over time, it can still be recognized.
The phoenix on the stone door on the left is dark red and looks like it has been smeared with blood.
For this reason, I got closer and smelled it, but I didn't smell any blood, which meant that the dark red on the door was an ancient pigment.
Uncle Yan looked at the two stone doors and said, "This should be the main entrance. This kind of door must be open to death, and there must be hidden secrets inside."
"What do you guys think?"
Be it Da Zhuang or Qi Dachuan, after hearing Uncle Yan's voice, they all looked at Leng Yue who said nothing.
In this group of us, everyone knows different things, and the combination is a complete one.
It's not that Uncle Yan only knows ancient Chinese characters, he can also handle other matters. Maybe it's because he has been a leader for a long time and rarely does anything himself except opening coffins.
Leng Yue walked forward and stood in front of the two tombs. She did not reach out to touch them but stared at the phoenix totems on the two tomb doors.
After looking at it once, Leng Yue turned around and looked at Uncle Yan and asked, "Where is the piece of human skin in your hand?"
Uncle Yan narrowed his eyes and said, "Does this matter?"
Leng Yue pointed at the dark red stone door and said, "I have seen the photos you took. The human skin matches some of the patterns on the stone door."
"All you need to do is stick the human skin on the tomb door and then drizzle it with blood. Here..."
Leng Yueru said, pointing to some grooves on the stone gate statue: "These are blood channels!"
I looked in the direction of her finger, and then I noticed that there was a groove deep into the ground at the threshold below.
But Uncle Yan had already burned the piece of human skin, and the door in front of him was destined to be unable to be opened.
But when I got up, I saw Uncle Yan taking the folded piece of human skin out of the backpack and handing it to Leng Yue.
Watching this scene, I cursed Uncle Yan in my heart for being an old thief.
Sure enough, you're going to lie to me again.
Leng Yue directly attached the human skin to the phoenix totem on the stone door.
Then without thinking, he used his left hand to make such a stroke on the scimitar at his waist.
Blood suddenly flowed out, and Leng Yueru directly covered the piece of human skin with her bloody hand.
Blood flowed into the groove, and the human skin covering it stuck tightly to the stone door as if it had been summoned.
Although some lines are not completely consistent, most of the lines still fit perfectly.
I don't even know how Leng Yue's blood could flow so easily. It took nearly a minute for her to leave from the door.
His face began to turn extremely pale and his body swayed slightly. Qi Dachuan hurriedly stepped forward to support Leng Yue and asked how he was doing?
Leng Yue shook her head feebly and said softly: "It should be fine..."
Just when I was very curious about how Leng Yue knew what was going on here.
Suddenly, the sound of the machine being clicked was heard, and the stone door began to tremble slightly.
Then something like a ball protruded out, and I saw that it was the eye of the Phoenix Totem.
It's just that now the small eyeball area is blocked by human skin.
Da Zhuang hurriedly stepped forward and peeled off the human skin and said: "The mechanism turns out to be here!"
"Can't look him in the eyes!"
Almost at the same time that Da Zhuang stepped forward and peeled off the human skin, Leng Yue exclaimed.
But it's too late...!
