After Hu Bayi and Chen Wenjin arrived at the second floor of the tomb, three passages also appeared.

Chen Wenjin felt the breeze and reminded: "Brother Hu, there seems to be a breeze in the three passages."

"Then go in the middle." Hu Bayi said decisively.

Chen Wenjin smiled and followed.

Soon, the two came to a main hall. The layout of this main hall was completely different from the one in Wu San Province.

The palace's carved beams and embroidered pillars are luxuriously decorated, and the four large round pillars are painted with fine red paint. Although they faded in the humid environment, Hu Bayi, who went to the tomb for the first time, was still stunned by the sight.

An ancient golden wooden coffin is placed on the high platform of the main hall.

Hu Bayi was shocked. Could this be the main tomb?

"Brother Hu, don't be stunned, help light the lamp on the pillar."

"Oh." Hu Bayi hurriedly went up to help, but he found that Chen Wenjin would smell the lamp oil inside before lighting the lamp.

Chen Wenjin explained with a smile: "The tomb is not ventilated. The ancients liked to add special toxins to the lamp oil to guard the tomb. So when I go down to the tomb, I like to smell the lamp oil to see if there is any peculiar smell. Of course, I can't smell it too much."

After the four lights were lit, the entire hall lit up instantly, and the golden coffin looked extremely noble against the red pillars.

"Wen Jin, is this the main tomb chamber?"

Chen Wenjin shook his head, pursed his lips and said: "It doesn't look like this. This ancient tomb was built on the seabed. It is definitely not small. We came here so easily. It shouldn't be the main tomb. I guess this may be the auxiliary coffin that was buried with it.

."

"Not the main tomb? The auxiliary coffins buried with him are all made of golden nanmu, so the owner of this tomb must be too extravagant." Hu Bayi couldn't help but sigh.

Chen Wenjin looked surprised: "Brother Hu, do you recognize golden nanmu?"

Hu Bayi touched the golden coffin with his hand: "Of course I recognize this noble wood. I heard the fat man say that the golden nanmu is worth silver. If such a big coffin is taken out, it will probably be replaced by a courtyard house in Peking."<

/p>

"Brother Hu, is he short of money?"

"There is no shortage."

"Actually, the Ming Dynasty single-color glazed porcelain that Brother Hu saw before is more valuable. If that item is auctioned in Jiumenli, it can be exchanged for ten courtyards."

Although Hu Bayi was shocked, he still said: "Even if I can exchange them for a hundred, it has nothing to do with me. These are national cultural relics."

"Brother Hu isn't moved at all?"

Hu Bayi glanced at Chen Wenjin and said sternly: "It's a lie to be unmoved, but a gentleman loves money in a good way. Besides, Boss Jin and brothers Sansheng promised to reward me and the fat man, but they can't steal it."

Dirty things."

Chen Wenjin smiled and did not answer any more words.

The two came to the high platform.

I saw Chen Wenjin walking around the golden nanmu coffin, tapping on the side of the coffin, and showing a strange expression.

"Brother Hu, this coffin seems to be filled with things and is solid."

Hu Bayi also tapped with his fingers, and a thick, thumping sound came back.

"Could it be filled with water?"

"It's possible, but normal coffins don't hold water."

Chen Wenjin frowned. She had followed Chen Pi Asi to several tombs, but she had never encountered a coffin filled with water.

However, it doesn't matter what's inside, neither of them has any intention of opening the tomb.

As a member of the archaeological team, we must wait until everyone is ready before opening the coffin.

There seemed to be no secret passage in this wooden hall. Chen Wenjin and Hu Bayi searched for it, but they could only return the way they came.

The two came to the fork in the previous three passages. This time, Hu Bayi chose the left and right passages.

The passage was dark. Hu Bayi's flashlight could no longer be turned on. Chen Wenjin's flashlight still had some power, but the light was dim and he couldn't even see the road three meters away.

"Brother Hu, let's go quickly, I'm afraid we'll run out of power."

"Okay."

The two quickened their pace and soon came to a strange place.

This is an artificially built square water channel. The water surface is dead and dark, exuding a cool atmosphere.

The light was too weak and I couldn’t see what was happening on the other side of the canal.

The only thing that can be seen clearly is the relief of two giant pythons on the top of Shuiqubao.

The relief is lifelike, but the snake's eyes are evil and terrifying, as if it has been given an anthropomorphic meaning.

"Brother Hu, I remember you have a small flare gun in your bag. Fire it and let's see if there is a road on the other side of the ditch."

"Okay." Hu Ba nodded and fired the signal gun diagonally over the ditch.

The red flare flashed in the dark water for a few seconds, and then fell into the ditch.

With this light, the two of them could clearly see the situation on the other side of the canal. There was indeed a passage, but the canal was at least forty meters wide.

"Brother Hu, can you swim?"

Hu Bayi knew that Chen Wenjin wanted to swim across the square canal to the other side.

"Of course I will, otherwise I wouldn't have been drowned the day the ghost ship attacked."

Chen Wenjin smiled: "I saw Brother Hu being lifted up by Ye Qingmei, and I thought you couldn't swim."

Thinking of being knocked unconscious by the giant octopus's tentacle that night, Hu Bayi looked embarrassed, smiled, and didn't explain any more.

After the two decided to go into the water, they didn't waste any more time. After packing up the supplies in their backpacks, they slowly entered the square channel one after the other.

However, the temperature of the water was extremely low, as if they had jumped into an ice cave in winter, and the two of them shivered unexpectedly.

Even though Chen Wenjin had practiced martial arts since she was a child and had plenty of energy and blood, as a woman, she was naturally weak. In the cold water, she soon lost her strength and fell behind.

Hu Bayi was different. Because he had eaten Coral Pill, he felt a steady stream of warmth in his abdomen, as if he had arrived at his home court, swimming faster and faster.

Seeing Chen Wenjin lagging behind, Hu Bayi did not show any pretense and took the initiative to hold Chen Wenjin's weak, boneless hand and help Chen Wenjin swim forward.

"Thank you, Brother Hu."

Feeling Hu Bayi's hot body, Chen Wenjin was a little shy.

"You're welcome, I'll let you go when you get out."

"Yes." Chen Wenjin hummed softly, but it was inaudible.

The two of them were not slow in the water and soon reached the middle of the canal, but at this moment Chen Wenjin suddenly pulled Hu Bayi.

"Brother Hu, there seems to be something under the water."

"Well, something?..."

Before Hu Ba finished speaking, he was pulled into the water by a strong force and disappeared.

Chen Wenjin's expression suddenly changed: "Brother Hu!"

But the dark water was quiet, without any sound.

Plop!

Suddenly, Hu Bayi jumped out of the water and saw a thick black-scaled python tightly wrapped around his body.

The huge and smelly snake mouth was opened by Hu Bayi.

One person and one snake are competing.

"Wen Jin, help quickly!"

Chen Wenjin couldn't use the nine-claw hook in the water, so he could only pull out the dagger on his calf and stab the black python with all his strength.
Chapter completed!
