Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-Three Explore the Mysteries at the Bottom of the Coffin
Feng Er calmed down and walked slowly towards the inner corridor. The water under his feet was very cold and would cause ripples as he walked.
Because the water was too dark and the ground was uneven, he almost fell down several times. He didn't know what he stepped on. It might be a burial object, or it might be a tomb robber who came to rob the tomb and died here. Feng Er was surprised by this.
No wonder, as long as you don't think about random things, there is no such thing as fear.
This section of the corridor is thirty or forty meters long. There is a larger tomb at the back. There is no other way around. This is probably the apse. After walking a few steps into the middle, there is a coffin bed in the tomb that is above the water.
Er started to get nervous, and he swallowed, as if his feet were filled with lead.
I saw a stone coffin placed on the coffin bed. The lid of the coffin had disappeared. This situation was relatively rare. What frightened Feng Er was what was inside. Two rotten bones were leaning against the lidless coffin. Their clothes were in tatters.
, the corpse was completely decomposed, and the skin and flesh were stuck together with the sarcophagus.
Feng Er couldn't tell which dynasty they belonged to at that time. One thing that was certain was that these two were definitely not slaves who were buried in sacrifice. The others froze on the spot, feeling cold all over and did not dare to approach.
It can be said that the ancient tomb sealed a lot of troubles. He was a good player when he was young. For him, he had already developed a mentality of ignoring the ancient corpses in the tomb. There is no reason to feel disgusted by touching the treasure.
Feng Er came forward with a flashlight. He was shaking a little, probably because of the cold water. Standing in front of the coffin, he glanced at the corpse inside, and his heart trembled slightly. The corpse was highly decomposed, and the head was already a skeleton, falling on the side.
Holding a sharp dagger with a familiar word engraved on it.
"seal up".
Feng Er immediately understood that the bones in the coffin were none other than the seniors of his Feng family. No matter who they were, whether they were from the dark sect or not, Feng Er immediately knelt down and kowtowed to two of them. He was in awe of his ancestors and was left by the Feng family.
Although he is a dark sect, Feng Er is an emotional person.
Looking into the coffin again, there was a mass of dirt under the two corpses. Their arms were placed on top and their bodies were leaning on it. Feng Er picked up the dagger and pulled it, revealing the bottom thing.
A ring-shaped tab.
His heart skipped a beat, this damn thing was an iron ring connected to the bottom of the coffin, and this was what these two seniors were trying to block.
At that time, the cover letter was out of curiosity, thinking that he would do what his predecessors had not completed. He put the flashlight to the side and pulled the rusty iron ring with both hands. After a muffled sound, one side of the coffin floor was exposed.
There was a secret door.
Feng Er was shocked. He didn't expect there was something hidden here. Could the Dragon Language Picture be down there? He stole this clue from his father. No one had been to this place for a long time. He wondered why his father didn't come by himself.
?
He turned back to get the flashlight and was about to look down. Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached over, he saw a strange face from the ground.
This frightened Feng Er so much. You have to know that if you don't do something bad, you won't be afraid of being called. They have a lot of thieves and thieves in this business, so they are in awe of them. Within a few seconds, everything in Feng Er's mind seemed to have stopped.
Probably only one impression.
When he thought about it, it was the most frightening thing he had ever seen. He had been exposed to dead bodies since he was a child, and there were not many things that could scare him. This time, he was truly frightened.
The strange face is brown, the skin is wrinkled and cracked, the edges have been rolled up, and the eye sockets are sunken, but it feels like it is watching you.
Feng Er felt something was wrong. This thing was neither human nor ghost. Could it be a monster?
The situation at that time would have frightened anyone else to death. Feng Er hesitated for a moment, and reacted instinctively within a few seconds. He first took a step back, then immediately took out a fire fold from his pocket and threw it down.
The strange skin is very easy to burn, and it caught fire immediately.
The face was submerged in the fire, white smoke rose from all sides, and the whole face began to melt, exuding an extremely unpleasant smell.
There were some flammable materials in the coffin that also burned. It burned for six or seven minutes, and the rot on the monster's face burned away, revealing a charred skeleton inside.
When all the fires were extinguished, Feng Er felt for a while and found that there seemed to be no threat at the bottom of the coffin. Just in case, he checked the strange-faced corpse again. It fell at the door, allowing the seniors of the Feng family to block it.
After shaking his head, it seemed that this thing was definitely not a good thing.
Feng Er trampled his bones to pieces, and after confirming that he no longer had the ability to stand up, he breathed a sigh of relief.
After resting for a while, Feng Er continued to walk down. When he saw the strange-faced corpse hiding underneath, he felt cold. Fortunately, this thing was dead, but how did the two Feng family seniors above die?
What about?
This is probably how curiosity killed the cat. With curiosity, Feng Er continued to go into the darkness. If it were Feng Yu, he would definitely not take this risk, but Feng Er was different. He only had one thought in his mind.
The purpose is to go down and see what happens.
The Feng family has been taught since ancient times. The predecessors passed down their skills and never try to do anything. The experience of the elders is correct. As the saying goes, if you don't listen to the elders, you will suffer losses before your eyes. This is true.
Under the coffin is a secret passage that slopes downward. Unexpectedly, this passage is very narrow, and you can only crawl in. Fortunately, the terrain below is such that the strange-faced corpse below cannot use any strength, so it is blocked.
Lower your head.
Feng Er moved forward slowly. The secret passage was filled with an indescribable stench, and the crawling posture made it very uncomfortable. If he said he was not afraid, it would be a lie. He prayed to his ancestors for blessings and cautiously got in.
Under the flashlight, he saw pieces of black stone slabs that formed the secret passage here. The inner walls were very smooth and without any decoration.
Feng Er crawled slowly in the secret passage. There was air circulation inside, which allowed him to breathe. Even though it smelled a bit, it was better than nothing.
After climbing for ten minutes, there was a turn in the dark passage. When he turned around, he saw a stone wall carved with reliefs.
We have reached the end here, and I thought there would be an exit, and there would be a dragon language picture or some other secret hidden in a secret room.
But what he didn't expect was that this stone wall blocked the way. Feng Er knocked on it with his hand. It was solid, and his heart suddenly became cold. He cursed in his heart, what the hell is going on? Why is this a dead end?
Feng Er was very puzzled. This place was the clue he had stolen. Logically speaking, the news about his father would not be false, so that would be strange. He glanced at the end of the secret passage, and the reliefs on the stone wall aroused his interest.
Note that the divine bird appears in this world like a god. But if you look closely, you will see that the birdman has a female corpse under his feet and is holding a bronze mirror in his hand. The style is very fairy-like. Its face is expressionless, like a proud creator looking down.
world.
The statue is not big, but it has a nose and eyes. Feng Er observed that his two eyes were empty, and there was a designated space behind it.
In fact, what he saw at that time should be the prototype of the God tribe, not a birdman. Because of his tall stature and strange appearance, he mistakenly thought it was a kind of birdman. In myths and legends, there is indeed a basis for birdman to be a god.
Among Indian missionaries, there is Kaling, the sacred bird in the snow-capped mountains, which was sung by the Buddha.
There are also the Nine Heavens Xuannv recorded in "He Tu" and the Dragon Armor God in "The Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic", both of which have the same form as a bird-man. However, legends are always legends. It is said that Xuannv Empress also taught the Yellow Emperor the art of Fangzhong.
, I don’t know where the story came from, and it’s hard to tell whether it’s true or false.
Feng Er thought he was well-informed and judged the statues on the stone wall. He thought there were others behind them, so he reached out to pry them with a dagger. He was still hesitant. After much thought, he couldn't do it in vain.
After all, you have to go and see whether it is a donkey or a horse.
Feng Er used a dagger to knock on the relief, trying to find a weak spot to demolish it, but to his surprise, the relief on the stone wall fell apart into a puddle of mud with a light pry of the dagger. Feng Er was heartbroken.
Next, why is this thing like this?
The relief instantly turned into powder, and the dust it emitted quickly flew into the air. He inadvertently inhaled it, and his mouth was filled with an unspeakable bitter taste. He subconsciously thought that this thing was poisonous, and he screamed inwardly, but he couldn't care less.
See what the space behind you is like, cover your mouth and nose immediately and move back.
Then Feng Er heard a muffled sound in the soil again, as if some mechanism was activated. He could only crawl backwards. There was another rumble in the secret passage, as if something was coming towards him. Feng Er was very nervous.
, the person also panicked, the change happened almost instantly, and he didn't have any time to react.
Just when he was about to exit, the thing in the secret passage appeared in his field of vision. It was an extremely terrifying face, even worse than the one above. Feng Er said that he would never forget it in this life.
Yes, in such a small space, it was difficult for him not to see clearly.
Black rotten skin, twisted and ferocious facial features, and the left half of his face seemed to have been rubbed. Feng Er was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat. This guy was moving very fast, and he was almost face to face with him, not to mention how disgusting it was.
Fortunately, Feng Er was very agile. After knocking him with his elbow, he turned over and rolled out of the secret passage, and then firmly pressed on the bottom of the coffin.
He felt that all the bones in his body were about to fall apart. In such a small space, he was able to escape in just a few seconds. Thanks to the blessings of his ancestors, he lay in the coffin, confused and sweaty.
My clothes were soaked through, and it took me a long time to regain my composure.
