Chapter 31 Sarcophagus
I immediately understood that this must be the displacement of the divine machine again, and this small hole in front of me might lead to another place.
Qin Xuanling and Bai Paper Fan crawled into the small hole without much thought, and everyone followed in one after another when they saw this.
The width of the small hole is only one meter and the height is only seventy or eighty centimeters. The walls of the hole are covered with white lime, which directly dyes everyone white.
I don’t know how long I climbed, but a faint light appeared in front of me. Judging from the situation, it should be the light emitted by the eternal light.
Maybe it is because of the small space, I always feel depressed and even a little panicked, not knowing what I will encounter when I go out from here.
As we climbed, we finally reached the end. When we crawled out of the hole, we saw that it was the basement we had been to before! The pile of bones inside returned to their original position and spread on the ground in some way. I was so surprised that I couldn't speak, and Professor Wu and the others were also stunned, and they didn't expect to return here at all.
Uncle Long said in horror: "What's going on? Why are you climbing into this pile of bones again?"
It was almost midnight, and we were stumbled down there, almost no rest.
Seeing everyone's tired look on their faces, Professor Wu and I suggested that we just take a rest here for a night and make plans after we have enough time.
Professor Wu agreed and told us to find a place to rest. They were probably very energetic and took the initiative to set off a whistle for us.
Just then, Jin Hu suddenly shouted: "Damn, when did another coffin come out in this place?"
I hurriedly looked around and saw a sarcophagus in the pile of bones, but we didn't notice it when we came in just now.
Jinhu walked to the sarcophagus and knocked it with a butt a few times, and only a dull sound came from inside.
From the outside, this sarcophagus is very tight. The lid of the coffin alone is more than 20 cm thick. I guess few people can't open it.
The coffin surface is very simple, clean without any crafting.
Everyone discussed it and decided to open it first and then talk about it. If you can't guarantee any new discoveries will be made.
We had no tools to match, so we had to start with bare hands. Except for Professor Wu and Xiaoqian, the rest of the people circled around the sarcophagus. When Jinhu shouted, he moved them up together.
Almost everyone tried their best to eat, their faces fluttered purple, and they whispered for a long time before they opened a corner of the sarcophagus.
However, when the flashlight shines in, there is nothing inside, but there is a hole about one meter in diameter in the middle.
I drove the light down the entrance of the cave, and saw many traces of shovel excavation on the wall of the cave, and there were also sticks on both sides for people to step on.
From above, the hole extends to the right, about two meters from the bottom of the sarcophagus.
Everyone looked at each other, but finally decided to send Jin Hu and Qin Xuanling down to explore the way.
Jin Hu has had experience in tomb robbing, and Qin Xuanling's skills are fine. If it is safe, we will go down here.
After they went down, they came up after about ten minutes. They said they had left for a long time but didn't end. They were afraid that we would be anxious, so they came up early.
At the same time, Qin Xuanling said that there was wind in the passage below, which should be connected to other places, and perhaps it was a way out.
Since this is the case, everyone doesn’t have time to rest. This place is so weird that the displacement of the divine machine may occur at any time. I’m afraid that something will happen again at that time, so I might as well go down and take a look.
Then, under the leadership of Jinhu, we went down into the cave one after another. At first, I was a little uncomfortable because the space below was very small and could only allow one person to pass by side. After walking for a while, the passage began to become wider.
We left for about half an hour and almost didn't rest. We stopped until a stone gate appeared in front of us.
Qin Xuanling pushed the stone door hard and found that the stone door was a little loose. I winked at Jinhu. Jinhu turned around and raised his shoulders and hit him hard. The stone door was actually knocked open by him.
Jinhu and I leaned in. Just after walking a few steps, Jinhu suddenly said, "There are people ahead!"
I looked up and saw a figure in front of me disappearing quickly. Subconsciously, I had an ominous premonition.
Then I was frightened to find that behind the stone gate was a very large burial corpse, with thousands of mummies placed on the ground.
These mummies have different expressions, almost all of them tall, short, fat and thin. The only thing they have in common is that... they wear the same clothes.
It was a kind of burlap clothes, and the style looked very ancient, with a wide-sleeved robe.
Professor Wu and his friends came in one after another when they heard the news. They were also shocked when they saw the scene in front of them, but then I heard a burst of panting sounds coming from around me, sometimes near and sometimes far, as if the dying person was breathing endlessly.
I don't know where this sound comes from, I just feel that no matter where I stand, it sounds extremely clear.
At this time, I didn't notice that Qin Xuanling and Bai Paper Fan had both taken out their own self-defense tools. Both of them had outstanding abilities and were naturally sensitive to unusual things.
Before I could react, the mummy in front of me suddenly stood up straight. My heart felt cold and I felt a chill behind me.
There were at least a thousand mummies in the burial corpse. Just standing up like this, it immediately scared everyone. Xiaoqian behind her screamed, and even Uncle Long was so scared that his legs were weak.
The white paper fan's voice was obviously trembling, and he said tremblingly: "This is...why? Is this the ghost?"
Qin Xuanling said calmly: "The corpse is raised..."
He was not panicked at all when he said this, nor was he frightened, as if he had met his own neighbor.
I hurriedly said, "Old Qin, aren't you a Longmen Taoist? Let them all stop."
Unexpectedly, Qin Xuanling ignored me at all, turned around and grabbed the backpack on the ground and rushed straight into the group of mummies. After a while, he disappeared in front of us.
We were all stunned and couldn't figure out what the situation was now, but we knew that without him, we would be difficult for us to deal with these mummies.
Slowly, the mummy group began to move closer to us. I turned my mind and turned around to the others and said, "Anyway, it's dangerous to run or not. Let's just learn from Qin Xuanling to run over. These mummies may not necessarily hurt us."
Everyone seemed to have no other choice when they heard this. The strange sound in their ears had not disappeared yet. We rushed left and right in the mummy group and ran forward with our lives.
Fortunately, these mummies did not make any dangerous moves. They just moved slowly and did not attack us.
We ran for a long time before we completely got rid of the mummies behind us. Everyone was exhausted and panting.
But when we looked back at Qin Xuanling, he was gone. In addition, the space behind the entire stone gate was very large, and we couldn't see the situation clearly at all.
Intuition tells me that there must be something wrong with it.
I observed the surrounding environment and found that I could not see the end at all, only endless darkness and voids. It was hard to imagine how such a large space was formed under the ground.
After the rushing moment, everyone had already exhausted their energy. They were now lying on the ground to rest, not caring about the unknown situation.
I was so tired that I was almost exhausted, so I leaned behind Jinhu and gasped, but my mind was thinking about how the sarcophagus appeared, why was there such a large space below, and what happened to those mummies.
Since the displacement of the divine machine appeared, I vaguely felt like someone was controlling all this behind my back. Since we entered the basement and saw the jade monument, things began to gradually lose control.
After the three people from the Mo family appeared, I felt that the background was not that simple. These three people each had their own unique skills, especially the white paper fan was obviously superior. I don’t know what purpose they came here, nor do I know if they were related to Xu Fu’s tomb.
But from the conversation between Baizhifan and Professor Wu, I can clearly feel that the relationship between them is far from being as simple as it seems, or that they are all hiding some ulterior motive secrets.
I saw that Professor Wu had just taken the medicine fed by Xiaoqian and was resting in a blanket, so I decided to take this opportunity to explore the bottom of the white paper fan.
I walked to the white paper fan and pretended to borrow the fire, took out the cigarette box and said to him, "Is it okay to borrow a fire?"
Bai Paper Fan was stunned, then took out his lighter and said, "Of course there is no problem!"
As he said that, he lit a cigarette for me personally. I saw that his lighter was very unique, so I reached out to ask for it and played with it for a while.
I saw a strange sign on the lighter, which seemed to be a saw, so I asked him curiously: "Is this your sign?"
Bai Paper Fan took the lighter and laughed loudly, "Haha, I think you have something to say, right?"
