Chapter 15: Black Coffin

I suddenly realized that the wall should be reversible. I was no longer in the bedroom where the coffin was originally placed. It should be a side room like an ear room, but I had never heard of this design.

I touched forward, and sure enough, there was a wall in front of me. I was delighted and pushed hard, but the door did not open. My heart skipped a beat, and I had an ominous feeling. Could it be that this door can only be entered but not exited?

The door of death?

I didn't give up. I suppressed the uneasiness in my heart and started groping along the wall. If this was really a well-hidden secret door, there would definitely be some clues like gaps. I kept comforting myself that I must have just seen it.

It's because you didn't find the right location. As long as you find the right direction, you can definitely open this secret door.

But the fate failed, and the final result was that I searched the entire wall and could not find any gaps. The entire wall was slippery, like an uncarved whole.

I was getting more and more panicked, and I asked myself that I was not too timid, but in this environment, my little courage and courage could not keep me calm at all. It was cold and dark all around, and in this kind of mausoleum where the dead are buried.

, people's imagination will always be involuntarily drawn to those inexplicable and terrifying things. I always feel that in the darkness around me, there are a pair of sinister eyes staring at me, spying on my every move.

To be honest, at this time, I would rather face the terrifying female corpse in red than stay in this unknown darkness. Now I know that this darkness and silence are the most terrifying things in the world, more terrifying than any monsters and monsters.

Much scarier.

I fumbled and took out the spray gun from my waist and held it tightly in my hand. Armed with the weapon, I felt a little more at ease, and I couldn't help but think of what had just happened.

To this day, I still can’t figure out why the monkeys and the others suddenly disappeared. To say that they encountered any danger, there should have been some noise. They couldn’t have disappeared silently like this!

Is it because of it? I trembled, remembering that the monkey told me when I first fell into the hole that some of us were possessed by ghosts. Could it be that they did not disappear at all but because I was covered by ghosts?

Didn’t you see it? If it was because of ghosts, were the bleeding walls and the female body in red real or my hallucination?

What makes me feel chilly is that the more I think about it, the more confused my mind becomes. I can’t figure it out. This thing is so weird that I can’t even guess its purpose. If it’s to kill me, then I

I'm still sitting here fine now. Is it possible that it trapped me here just to separate me from the monkeys?

Separated? Alone? A strange thought arose in my mind. Is this ghost playing some trick of defeating each other one by one? Thinking about it, I laughed bitterly. Even I thought this idea was too absurd. If even a ghost can play this trick,

With this tactic, I won't feel unjust even if I die.

In fact, there is the most sufficient reason. If it really wants to be defeated one by one, then I have lost contact with everyone now. Now is the best time to deal with me, so why hasn't it appeared yet?

Could it be that it was just to tease me? Another thought came to my mind. Normally, I would laugh at myself, but now I don't think there is anything wrong with my idea at all.

I have almost lost my mind, and all kinds of thoughts keep flashing in my mind. If a ghost brought me here, will it also follow? The monkey said that one of the seven of us was possessed by a ghost.

Body, is that person next to me now? The hairs all over my body stood up, and I looked around subconsciously, even though I couldn't see anything.

"By the way, fire?" In this trembling state of mind, I suddenly remembered that I still had a few fire sticks on me. Each of us had some with us when we came here, and we used a few when we were dealing with corpse flies in the front hall.

, now I estimate there should be one hand’s worth of them.

I was ecstatic for this flash of inspiration. What I needed most at this time was light. Even if it was just a small and brief moment, it would give me a lot of courage.

I quickly took it out of my arms, and when the fire lit up in front of me, I felt so moved that I wanted to cry.

By the light of the fire, I finally saw the surrounding situation clearly. This was indeed a side room, and it was also a burial chamber. There were only a few things placed in the dozens of square chambers, and there was a coffin in the middle.

There is a black wooden coffin placed on the bed, with a lamp slave on each side. The strange thing is that there is a bronze monkey standing two meters in front of the wooden coffin, which looks very abrupt.

It's not right to say it's a monkey. The thing looks very weird. It's only half a meter tall. It's red and black in color. Its arms are so long that it almost reaches the ground. It has two extra-large ears and a pair of eyes as red as blood.

The round stare is very chilling.

Maybe they were gems like bloodstone. I thought to myself, if Fatty and Monkey were here, they would definitely pick them out. The value of these two gems alone is astronomical.

The fire was extinguished, and my eyes fell into darkness again, but now I was no longer as scared as before. I could clearly see the surroundings. Except for the black wooden coffin, which made me resist, there was nothing that scared me.

People are like this, always full of fear of unknown things, but when they are truly faced, the fear will gradually fade away.

The most urgent thing now is to find a way out of here quickly. I lit another fire. Taking advantage of this short period of time, I checked the surrounding walls, but the result was disappointing to me. The surrounding walls were all made of

It was made of giant tomb bricks half a meter long and wide, and even the gaps were sealed with plaster. The whole room seemed to be a whole, and there was no way to find the secret door. This made me very confused. What if

If there is no secret door in this wall, how did I get in?

Could it be that I was wrong, that the door I came in through was not a flip-up door but a vertical take-off and landing door? Maybe the entire wall was a door, and when I stepped back, the wall happened to rise up, waiting for me

After entering, it fell down again.

I walked to the wall and knocked on it. The muffled sound showed that the thickness of the wall was at least two feet. This result overturned my previous idea. How much would a two-foot-thick wall weigh? How could it be possible?

Just open it casually, at least I don't think there were such powerful lifting tools and machinery in that era.

Even if there is, who opened it? Is it that ghost? What about the power? Such a powerful mechanism must have extremely powerful power. When the mechanism is running, it will not be so quiet that people can't notice it.

!

Suddenly, I remembered the inexplicable sound that came from the copper-horned golden coffin after opening the giant sarcophagus in the dormitory. Could it be that it was not the sound of Zongzi grabbing the coffin wall but the sound of the machine running? Could it be that the giant sarcophagus and the copper-horned golden coffin were

Is it the hub of the entire machine?

My mind started working quickly. If the giant coffin was the key to opening the mechanism, maybe the sudden disappearance of Monkey and the others had something to do with it. Some thoughts came to my mind. The entire mausoleum was like a static

It's a huge machine. We opened the sarcophagus and activated this machine, which caused some changes. Does that mean that the layout of the entire tomb has changed now?

I shook my head and smiled bitterly, feeling that my idea was absurd. The reason was motivation. With such a large-scale organization, I couldn't imagine anything that could provide such a powerful motivation.

But one thing is certain, there is a secret door that can be opened, but I can't find where the door is, nor how to open it.

The desire to survive makes me unwilling to sit here and wait for death. I think desperately. I don’t believe that a person with rich modern knowledge can’t decipher this ancient wisdom. I always believe that there is one point in it that I did not expect.

Yes, as long as you find this point, you can open this door.

I began to decipher this mystery from a primitive aspect. I didn't see anything in this closed chamber except the coffin lamp slave and the strange monkey. So how were these things transported in? And the people who transported them in

How did you get out? The answer is of course the door, which proves that the door can be controlled at will.

This is the strange thing. After ancient people were buried, they usually sealed all the exits. So why can they be opened at will? It's like the three tomb doors we encountered after entering were not made of tapstone or anything like that.

Seal it, are they planning to come in again in the future?

But at that time, people were very particular about burying themselves in peace. This is not a vegetable market, so why should we come in again? Isn’t this a place to bury people?

Thinking of the murals I saw in the dormitory, an idea flashed in my mind. I didn't see the giant bronze coffin in the murals here. That means that the giant coffin is not in this underground palace. Then this underground palace is for

What are you here for?

"Sacrifice?" I felt a little excited, and I felt that I was getting closer and closer to that point.

When I came in, I was still surprised. During the Tang Dynasty, mausoleums were already very large. A tomb is an underground palace where people are buried underground, while a mausoleum is a building on the ground, a place for worship and homage.

There are no above-ground buildings such as mausoleums built on the ground here. Could it be that the place I am now is the mausoleum of this mausoleum, but it was just moved underground?

The more I think about it, the more I feel that this is very possible. We saw the crematorium before, and that kind of thing used in sacrifices should not be found in the underground palace. This coincides with my idea.
