Mo Shouchen walked to the front of the coffin lid and was about to poke his head into the coffin, but the candle that Hu Jiu had lit suddenly went out at this moment.

"careful!"

Hu Jiu shouted, and Mo Shouchen ducked back as a reflex, and jumped down from the coffin lid at the same time.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Mo Shouchen's voice was trembling when he spoke. Hu Jiu's voice just now really startled him.

Hu Jiu pointed to the extinguished candle and said: "The candle I lit suddenly went out. It seems that the owner of this tomb does not want you to see him."

Scarface said sarcastically from the side: "It's just a candle that went out. Is it necessary to make such a fuss?"

Hu Jiu replied: "If the rooster crows and the lantern is extinguished, the gold will not be touched. This is the rule set by the ancestor. Besides, the candle did not waver just now, which means there is no wind in the tomb. So how do you think it was extinguished?"

"I don't know how it was extinguished. Maybe one of you farted and it collapsed!"

Scarface laughed, and then immediately said to Mo Shouchen with a straight face: "Stop dawdling, crawl back and see what's in the coffin!"

This scarred face is a mad dog that will bite anyone it catches.

Mo Shouchen cursed secretly in his heart: Let you jump around for a while, and when you find the opportunity, see if I don't give you some pain.

Although he scolded Scarface in his heart, Mo Shouchen actually didn't believe in touching Colonel Jin.

Based on his understanding of ghosts, if the owner of the tomb was unhappy, he would have jumped up and bit someone. How could he have time to blow out the candles? It was not a birthday.

However, he knew that Hu Jiu was doing it for his own good, so he nodded to Hu Jiu to express his gratitude.

Just when Mo Shouchen was about to climb onto the coffin lid again, Hu Jiu pulled him and said:

"It's better to be careful. Let me light another candle. If the candle goes out after a while, it means there is really a problem."

Scarface said sarcastically at the side: "I think it's unnecessary to invite him here. It will only be of no help and a waste of our time."

Master Zhou didn't say anything this time. It seemed that he didn't want to delay his own affairs because of those unnecessary rules.

Hu Jiu ignored Scarface. He walked to the candle and lit it. Then he turned to Mo Shouchen and nodded, indicating that it was okay.

Mo Shouchen climbed onto the coffin lid again, and then walked to the front little by little, but when he was about to look into the coffin, the candle went out again.

At this time, he began to murmur in his heart. Is it true that as Hu Jiu said, the owner of the tomb did not want him to see his appearance, so he blew out the candles as a warning?

Just when he was hesitating whether to continue, the scarred man below suddenly shouted: "Hurry and take a look at what's in the coffin. If you delay any longer, believe it or not, I'll take a picture of the coffin for you with a sapper shovel."

As he spoke, he raised the engineering shovel in his hand and gestured, as if he was really going to take action.

There was no other way. Although he was a little scared, Mo Shouchen still mustered up the courage to stick his head out. At the same time, he secretly exerted force on his feet, ready to jump off the coffin as soon as there was any danger.

As his line of sight gradually extended into the coffin, the first thing Mo Shouchen saw was an iron-gray corpse head.

There is a black hat on the top of the head, the eyes are closed tightly, and the eye sockets and cheeks are deeply sunken. Overall, it is very well preserved.

Because he was afraid that the corpse in the coffin would suddenly transform into a corpse and cling to the coffin, Mo Shouchen did not rush to look inside the coffin, but stared at the corpse's face to see if it would react.

After staring at the body for a while, there was no change, so Mo Shouchen leaned forward again.

At this time, he could already see most of the body of the corpse. The corpse was wearing unrecognizable clothes and had some nooses on it.

It can be seen that the material of the noose is nylon rope. This kind of thing did not exist in ancient times, so these nooses should be left by the people sent by Mr. Zhou before.

He also saw a bow placed on the left hand side of the body and a quiver on the right hand side with several bows and arrows in it.

It seems that this corpse must have been very good at using bows and arrows during its lifetime, so it was used as a personal burial object.

"Why are you dawdling up there? Are there the bodies of those five people inside?" Scarface urged impatiently from under the coffin.

Mo Shouchen cautiously stepped back to the end of the coffin lid, and then said: "There is only one corpse inside. It should be the owner of this tomb, but he has a rope around his body. It seems to be left by your people."

"rope?"

Hu Jiu also climbed onto the coffin at this time. He glanced at the body in the coffin, and then said to Mr. Tuesday below:

"There is a rope around the body, which means that the people you sent have carried the body before. Since they can't be seen here, I guess there is a passage under the body, and they went to other places through the passage.

?”

Mr. Zhou said in agreement: "What I am looking for is the Jurchen clan's royal tomb, and looking at the size of this tomb, the most buried here is a general, so this is probably just a cover, maybe as you said

, the passage leading to the imperial mausoleum is under the corpse."

Hu Jiu nodded, and then said to Mo Shouchen beside him: "I want to carry the body, you have to help me."

"Carrying the body?"

Gui Mo Shouchen had come into contact with a lot, but this was the first time he had come into contact with a corpse. Moreover, it was such an ancient corpse that had been rotten for hundreds of years. Thinking about it was a bit disgusting.

As if he could see what Mo Shouchen was thinking, Hu Jiu explained: "You just need to hold me for a while and don't let me fall into the coffin. I will do the rest."

"I see!"

Mo Shouchen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He would not touch that ancient corpse no matter what. It was too unlucky.

Hu Jiu took out gloves from his backpack and put them on his hands, then lay on the coffin lid. Mo Shouchen hugged his legs from behind. His entire upper body reached into the coffin, and then reached out to grab the noose on the body.

.

In fact, the most difficult thing about carrying a corpse is to put a rope on the corpse, so the people sent by Master Zhou saved Hu Jiu a lot of trouble.

Hu Jiu grabbed the noose with both hands, then exerted force on his waist and shouted "get up", and then the body in the coffin was pulled up by him.

Mo Shouchen hugged Hu Jiu's legs to prevent him from falling, but at this moment, the sound of falling sand suddenly appeared in the tomb.

The direction where the sound came from was directly in front of Mo Shouchen. He looked up and found that the sand was falling down on the wall facing the coffin head.

When all the layer of sand on the wall fell off, Mo Shouchen vaguely saw several murals appearing on the wall.

However, because the distance was a bit far and the light was not very sufficient, he could not see clearly what was painted on the wall.

Several people under the coffin also saw the mural. They walked over and carefully observed the content on the painting. Then Mo Shouchen heard Scarface shout:

"It looks like we are painted on this mural!"
