The girl said that judging from the size of the coffin inside, it should be the owner of the tomb. There will definitely be no more coffins and coffins matching each other. If the heavy burial in the Western Zhou Dynasty is the tomb of the emperor, it must have four layers of coffins and coffins.

I said this is not right. The emperor's tomb is indeed a four-story coffin, but it has been different in the past. Who can guarantee that this is not cutting corners? The young master entered this industry late, and he didn't understand it as much as I did. Naturally, I don't have the right to speak, but because I don't understand, I can worry less. So.

He hastily tightened his clothes tightly and put on plastic anti-gas gloves, and touched around on the coffin. Then he said, "You have time to research, why not just open it and see what's going on?"

The girl and I both laughed dumbly. Thinking about it, it would be easier to just open it and take a look.

But the problem comes again. Just now, the copper buckles were holding the coffin. I smashed the copper buckles and pushed the coffin lid open. Now this white jade coffin is inside the bronze coffin. It looks like it fits perfectly. It is not an easy task to open it. I have one hand.

Holding the ancient bronze sword, he reached in and touched it with one hand. Fortunately, there was a thin gap at the interface between the coffin lid and the coffin.

And this gap is sealed by something like grease. Originally, according to Nanlizi's plan, there were special tools to open such a sarcophagus. But now we have nothing. In desperation, I can only use the ancient bronze sword.

Insert it into the gap of the sarcophagus.

"Sisi..." Suddenly there was a sound of air leaking from the white jade coffin, like a car tire with a hole in it. I couldn't help but be startled and saw the ancient bronze sword withdrawn and turned to look at the girl and the young master.

I knew that the girl and the young master were also looking at me. I quickly calmed down and whispered, "There is something strange in the coffin..."

The young master sneered and said that it would be strange if there were no weird things in such a coffin! No matter how weird it is, you still have to open it and take a look. I nodded in agreement *** Whatever it is, since we are here, we have to open it and take a look.

Suddenly the girl said: "Wait a minute, Brother Xu, something seems wrong..."

I said something was wrong? The girl looked at the white jade coffin in the bronze coffin for a long time without saying a word, and finally said, "Brother Xu, when you pushed the coffin lid open just now, I felt strange. I always felt that this sarcophagus seemed to be missing something. Now I

I figured it out."

I was stunned that this sarcophagus was missing something. After all, this sarcophagus was already the size of a normal coffin and definitely not up to the standards of the original four-story emperor's tomb. But the girl just said that who could tell the difference between ancient things?

There may be errors in the historical records. But now she said something was missing, but I didn't find it.

The girl walked around the bronze coffin and whispered, "Brother Xu, Brother Li, you see, the outside of this bronze coffin is carved with gorgeous patterns and bird seals, but the white jade coffin inside is not smooth at all. It's a bit unreasonable."

I said that maybe the craftsmen were cutting corners, and there was another possibility: the bronze coffin was the first layer on the outside, and naturally it had to be ornately carved with bird seals and thunder patterns. But the white jade coffin inside would never be visible if you didn’t open the bronze coffin outside.

Naturally, there is no need to carve any more patterns.

The girl rolled her eyes at me and asked me, "Do you want your coffin to be opened after you die?"

Although the girl asked a very rude question, I didn't get angry. I couldn't help but think to myself. No matter who you are, you wouldn't expect your coffin to be opened, right? So the patterned bird seals carved on the surface of the coffin are definitely not for people to see.

It is to comfort the tomb owner himself.

According to this inference, the inside of the coffin should be more gorgeous. But this bronze coffin is exactly the opposite. The outside of the coffin is very gorgeous, but the inside is ordinary.

The girl said that she was sure that the white jade coffin inside and the bronze coffin outside were definitely not the original ones.

When I heard this, I couldn't help but be surprised. What were these words? Could it be that the coffin is like a human couple and they still pay attention to the original partner? The young master was even more confused than the two-foot-long monk. We both looked at the girl in surprise.

The girl thought for a while and explained that the material of this white jade coffin tried its best to imitate the material of the high platform on the water pool we just found, but it is different after all. The material of this white jade coffin is also considered to be one of the best, but it is still not as good as

The white jade platform on the water pool cannot be compared with the material of the dragon coffin under the Yellow River.

However, judging from the dating of the patterned bird seals on this bronze coffin, it is obviously from the same era as the bronze servants on the pool. Could it be that the owner of the tomb actually put the cart before the horse and used the best materials instead of making his own coffin to build a high platform to bury the sword?

Not successful?

I feel it is very reasonable when the girl said this. No matter how much the tomb owner cares about his sword, he will never regard his sword as more important than himself. The high platform for burying the sword is made of the best material, but his burial coffin is of inferior quality. This is absolutely

unreasonable.

The young master and I both looked at the girl without blinking, expecting her to explain further.

The girl thought for a while and said that the reason for this situation now is that the owner of the tomb has changed hands.

When the young master and I heard this, we both stood there dumbfounded and unable to move. The owner of the tomb has changed hands? What does this mean?

The entire underground tomb fell into a deathly silence. In this extreme silence, a "slight" sound like air leakage came from the white jade coffin again. The sound was not high, but if you didn't listen carefully, you really couldn't hear it.

But it really exists.

The young master's expression changed and he looked at me in horror and asked, "Lao Xu, what is this sound? Why does it sound like breathing?"

If the young master didn’t say anything, I would be surprised to hear what he said. I listened carefully and heard the "swift" sound, which really sounded a bit like human breathing...

If coffins are the preserve of dead people, then breathing seems to be the preserve of living animals. Isn’t that what people are fighting for? But now the sound of breathing is actually coming from the coffin that is supposed to be reserved for the dead. What does that mean for living people?

?

There was a living person in the coffin! I involuntarily took a big step back and looked at the white jade coffin in fear. But to my surprise, the girl who was the most timid at first was surprisingly brave and walked into the white jade coffin and said: "Xu

Brother, don’t worry so much. I want to open the coffin and see if someone can occupy the magpie’s nest and even fight for the dead man’s tomb?”

"What did you say?" I asked the girl in confusion.

The girl shook her head and said nothing, just gesturing for me and the young master to open the coffin. The young master and I were so disappointed that we were frightened by the "slight" sound of breathing in the coffin. No matter how hard we said it, we were unwilling to open the coffin and just wanted to leave quickly. The girl was helpless.

She explained that the sarcophagus was originally sealed, but I had just stabbed someone in it with an ancient bronze sword, causing air leakage. Where was the sound of someone breathing? She had seen this kind of situation before, and after opening the coffin, she guaranteed that there would be nothing but dead people.

Both of us know that the girl is just making it up to comfort us two cowards. If this is the case, she might have just said it and she would wait until now? But the question is why the girl insists on opening the coffin? Is it because of her persistence in archaeological research?

Waved again?

The young master is just a girl. I can't resist. The two of them could only pierce the ancient bronze sword into the coffin again and go around the gap in the coffin lid to scrape off the fat sealing the coffin. Then the young master was busy removing it from the coffin.

I found a small iron drill in my backpack and inserted it hard into the coffin lid.

Afraid of hurting the ancient bronze sword, I hurriedly dug out the iron hammer and inserted it into the coffin lid. Together with the young master, I shouted loudly, "One, two, three..."

But the white jade coffin lid was much heavier than I thought. We wasted all our efforts and only managed to move the coffin lid. I was injured on my shoulder blade and now the wound cracked open with such force.

My arms went limp and my strength weakened involuntarily. The young master couldn't do it alone. The coffin lid closed again with a "bang" sound.

"It's heavy enough!" the young master complained, shaking his arms.

I smiled helplessly, "I haven't eaten in my stomach for a long time. How can I pry this off?"

Hearing this, the girl giggled and said, "You two, don't be lazy. I've decided to open this coffin. I have a hunch that the owner of this coffin is Liu Qu!"

When the girl said this, I couldn't help but cheer up. What is the purpose of coming here after all the hard work? Isn't it just to find the tomb of King Liu of Guangchuan, find his epitaph, and find a way to break the curse? Since the girl said that this is Liu's tomb.

Doesn't that mean we are not far from victory?

The young master curiously asked the girl how she knew it. The girl said that the material of this sarcophagus was exactly the same as the coffin in the tomb of King Liu Qu of Guangchuan above. So she was at least 90% certain that the owner inside was Liu Qu.

But I don't understand that the material of this white jade coffin is indeed the same as Liu Qu's coffin. However, the bronze coffin outside is similar in pattern and bird seal to the bronze servant just found, and its style is also from the Western Zhou Dynasty. Liu went to see that it was from the Western Han Dynasty.

The people seem to be separated by a thousand years during this period...

"How is this possible?" I looked at the girl puzzled. She explained helplessly that this was also her speculation. Liu Quhao robbed tombs, which was recorded in "Taiping Guangji". Maybe he inkstoned this Kowloon while robbing tombs.

This is a legendary Feng Shui treasure land, so Liu Qu didn’t wreak havoc when he came in, but was more thoughtful.

The original owner of the tomb here obviously had some connection with the Yellow River Dragon Coffin. Perhaps the reason why Liu Qu was able to break the curse was related to the original owner of the tomb here.

After Liu went to discover the Jiulong Pit, he ordered someone to build another tomb chamber above, but also opened up the mechanism in it to lead directly to here. However, there was absolutely no corpse in the coffin above. After his death, his corpse was definitely put here. As for us

The remains that we saw just now under the high platform are most likely the craftsmen and others who helped Liu build the tomb at that time.

There are many records in history that Liu Qu was cruel by nature and his behavior was in line with his nature.

But I still can't believe that Liu Qu would throw the corpses of other tomb owners out and then lie in other people's coffins? How is this possible? The more I think about it, the more absurd it becomes. Isn't this a big taboo?

But then I thought about what a person like Liu Qu couldn't do? Since the girl said so, she would rather kill by mistake than let go. No matter what, we have to open the coffin to see what happens. Otherwise, isn't his trip in vain?

Just as we were talking, the "slight" sound of breathing in the coffin actually stopped. The surroundings fell into dead silence again.

I paused for a moment and greeted the young master who was still a little confused about the situation and said, "Don't be stunned, come over and help me open it and you'll understand."

Since the iron drill had already been inserted into the coffin lid, this time I worked hard with the young master and the girl came over to help. With the concerted efforts of the three of us, we finally pried open the heavy sarcophagus lid with a "bang" sound.

On the bronze coffin next to it. Then the young master showed his selfless spirit and pushed the lid of the sarcophagus open further.

The girl couldn't wait to hold up the flashlight and was about to shine it inside. I was startled and remembered what Nanlizi said, and quickly pulled the girl and the young master back a few steps. Such an ancient corpse has been sealed underground for thousands of years. God knows how much corpse energy has been accumulated.

How poisonous? Once you are injured by corpse energy, it will be a big trouble.

After a while, I didn't see any movement inside the coffin, and there was no smell of rotting corpses as I imagined. The young master rolled his eyes at me and laughed at me for making a fuss. He spoke forcefully but took the bamboo arrow in his hand.

He looked into the coffin with full vigilance.

Just taking a look at the young master, he couldn't help shouting "ah" and took a few steps back with a look of surprise on his face.

The girl and I were confused about what was in the coffin that scared the young master so much. We hurriedly moved over, but like the young master, we took one look and couldn't help but back away. The three of them looked at each other and were speechless for a moment.

After a moment, I couldn't help but asked the girl, "Girl, what kind of Guangchuan Wang Liu is in the coffin? But why is it a monster now?"

The girl gave me a bossy look and explained that Liu Qu might be a monster after all!

I winked at the young master to tell him to protect the girl, but I walked towards the coffin again. The girl also came over and held up the flashlight to look at the corpse in the coffin carefully.

Any normal person has to admit that coffins are the preserve of the dead. But the person lying in this white jade coffin is not a dead person. At least I can't be sure whether he is dead or alive. This is what shocked the young master and me.

reason.

The very ordinary white jade coffin is not special at all. The inside of the coffin is as bare as the outside, without any pattern or writing to explain the age of the coffin, prove the identity of the owner of the coffin, etc. There are naturally some burial objects of jewels and jade beside it, but it attracts the attention of the public.

What we are looking at is not these things but the shining golden clothes on the corpse.

I can't tell what material the dress is made of. At first glance, it seems to be made of gold, but I know it is definitely not as simple as gold. Because even gold has been eclipsed for thousands of years. But under the light of the girl's flashlight, this dress is

The glittering golden light distracted our eyes. It even made it impossible for us to move our eyes away from this dress and ignored an important issue. Fortunately, the three of us were all people who were struggling on the edge of life and death due to the curse of the Yellow River Dragon Coffin.

His strength is slightly stronger than that of ordinary people.
