Chapter 53: The Ancient Corpse in the Three Coffins
"Fat man, I have my own sense of discretion." Fatty's head hadn't turned around yet, and I knew exactly what he wanted to say. After interrupting him, I turned to look at him, smiled softly, and slowly
He said slowly: "Fat man, do you think I am the kind of person who is unjust for profit? Haha, believe me, I have been with him for nearly thirty years, and I know him much better than you do.
What he loves most is not money, but his own life. This small obstacle will not stop him. He will be fine, and even if something happens, it will be our fault!"
"What do you mean? Little prince, there is something in your words!" The fat man looked at me doubtfully.
I smiled and shook my head and continued walking forward. "Let's go. Don't waste the opportunity you finally got."
We came to the bronze throne deep in the hall. It was already rusty. We didn't pay much attention to this decorative thing. After casually looking at it, we walked into the side door next to it.
This palace is like a huge quadrangle, in the shape of "Hui", and follows the specification of "facing the front and sleeping in the back", with the palace in front and the palace in the back. We quickly arrived at the sleeping hall, but there was no
Nothing was found. There were a lot of things inside, but they were all made of wood and most of them had rotted. There was no coffin at all.
I thought about it and quickly figured out that the palaces built during that period were all single-story, but here it was tens of meters high. The first floor was nearly ten meters high, so there should be five floors.
Six floors. This is a big discovery. Without a foundation, such a "giant building" can be built with just stones, and it still stands today. It can be summarized as a miracle. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes
I absolutely won't believe it.
But what I was thinking about at this time was another thing. As a dragon driver, his coffin might be placed at the highest point here. No, it is not possible, but it is certain. In that period, there was no emphasis on "burial"
"For the sake of peace", the dragon chaser is also a wizard. Maybe in his concept, the higher the place, the closer to the god he believes in, so he will naturally hide the coffin at the top of the palace.
Next, we ran all the way up the stairs. When we reached the top floor, we found that there was only a wide hall, which was exactly the same as the hall below, but there were a lot of furnishings here. On both sides of the hall
There were many stone sculptures erected, all of which were stone statues with three heads and six arms. There was a large bronze cauldron in the middle, and there were some ashes inside, which were left after burning. The sharp-eyed fat man also found a bone inside, which needless to say was human.
Bones are used for sacrifices.
There is a tall stone platform at the deepest place, but there are three coffins on it. They are all made of different materials. The right one is a stone coffin, the left one is a copper coffin, and the middle one is a vermilion wooden coffin. The heights are also different.
, the one on the right is the lowest, the one on the left is second, and the wooden coffin in the middle is the highest and largest.
Seeing these three coffins, I immediately thought of the Sancai coffin at the Qinling Divine Lake. Did the Dragon Chaser learn from there?
"Damn it, which one of these is that old calf's coffin? Do you have to guess again?"
We walked up the steps. These three coffins gave me a strange feeling. My first choice was the red wooden coffin in the middle. This coffin occupies the highest position and symbolizes nobility and majesty. But after thinking about it, I don’t think so.
Firstly, this coffin gives me a weird feeling, and secondly, the old man said that the highest position is the heavenly position, and as a wizard, the Dragon Chaser will not be so arrogant.
Finally, I focused my attention on the most inconspicuous sarcophagus. This is the human place. Although the Dragon Chaser never plays by the rules, he will definitely be very strict about the events behind him. If there are really his bones here,
It must be here.
We discussed it for a while and finally decided to open the sarcophagus. When we opened the lid, we found that it was a set of coffins, with a smaller one inside. This was the real coffin, and the outside was just a coffin.
What we didn't expect was that after opening the sarcophagus, it was empty inside, with nothing except some pieces of cloth that had rotted to the point where the style could not be distinguished.
It turned out that my idea was wrong, but fortunately no accident happened, which suddenly made us bolder. Without too much hesitation, we opened the vermilion coffin in the middle.
When the lid was opened, an unpleasant odor hit our noses. What we saw was a very well-preserved ancient corpse. The body was wrapped in a yellow cloth made of unknown material.
Yes, only one head was exposed from the whole body. There was a bronze mask next to the head of the corpse, which was already covered with rust. It must have been worn on the face of the corpse, but it fell off for some unknown reason. So.
Now we can clearly see his complete face, the exposed skin is purple-black, the muscles have atrophied, and he looks very ferocious and terrifying.
But this result is very gratifying. Judging from the figure of this ancient corpse, it is similar to the figure of the dragon chaser on the mural. We naturally think that it is the body of the dragon chaser. But there is one thing that is very surprising.
There is actually a hole on the forehead of this ancient corpse. At first glance, I thought it was punctured by something. But after a closer look, I found that the hole was very regular. It should be from nature rather than nurture.
I suddenly remembered that the face of the dragon driver on the mural also had three eyes. At that time, we thought that the third eye was an illusion, but now it seems that it actually exists.
How is it possible? How can a person have three eyes? It must be a deformity. This is my idea. In my opinion, this situation is only possible with deformities.
But we are not here to study this. I opened the coffin lid a little more, bent down and took a look, and saw a bronze box placed on the chest and abdomen of the ancient corpse. It was only slightly larger than a palm and looked very exquisite.
I took the box out with excitement. I originally thought it would take a lot of effort to open it, but I didn't expect that I opened the lid with just a little effort.
But when we saw what was inside, we were all dumbfounded. There was nothing inside, just an empty box. Our enthusiasm immediately dropped to freezing point. Could it be that we were wrong again? The body of the dragon chaser was in the bronze coffin.
"Mom, if you don't do it and don't stop, you can open it all at once. I don't believe it can go to the sky."
After the fat man finished speaking, he was about to open the copper coffin, but at this moment, there was a "creaking" sound in the wooden coffin in the middle, as if something was trying to crawl out of the coffin.
"Damn it, you want to pick up the body?" The fat man quickly returned to the wooden coffin. After taking a look, he shouted in horror: "It's really alive. Hurry up, little prince. We're here to hold it up. Hurry up and get it."
Notes on chasing the dragon."
After saying that, the fat man roared, closed the lid of the coffin by himself, and then jumped up. The coffin began to shake and bang, as if it was about to fall apart at any time. Look at the fat man
It was difficult for one person to hold it down, so Axue also jumped on the coffin. The weight of the two people finally restrained the wooden coffin. However, this was only temporary. The noise inside was getting louder and louder. It might not take long.
It will be knocked away.
I quickly ran to the copper coffin and used all my strength to pry open a gap in the lid. When Jun took a look, he couldn't help but gasp. There was also a corpse inside, but it was half rotten, and the bottom of the coffin was full of blood.
There was thick black mucus exuding a foul odor, and the clothes on its head and some parts of its body had rotted, revealing its pale skeleton, which looked even uglier than the one in the wooden coffin.
However, I saw that it also had a bronze box on it, which was similar to the one just now. I took the box over, opened it slightly and took a look, but I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Little prince, are you okay? I can't bear it anymore." The fat man shouted and urged.
"Okay, I've found the dragon catching notes. It's inside. Let's go quickly." I stuffed the box into my bag, got off the stone platform first, and ran towards the stairs.
The two fat men caught up quickly, running faster than a rabbit. "Hurry up, little prince, don't look back, you will scare your aunt out, there are fucking zongzi here and there, it's a monster."
At this moment, there was a loud noise below. As soon as we returned to the first floor, the monkey limped up to us. "Oh no, Zhang Ahsi blew up the stone door."
My heart sank, and I cursed to myself that it was really fucking terrible. There were really tigers in front of us and wolves in the back. Each one of them was sure to defeat us. It really made me feel like I was holding back the fire.
But the goddess of luck was still on our side. At this moment, two screams came from the direction of the hall, followed by a burst of gunfire, and then fell into silence.
We looked at each other in confusion, not understanding what was happening, but that was the only way for us to pass, and we had to go there immediately. Even if we fell into Zhang Asi's hands, it would be better than the thing chasing after us.
When we ran to the main hall, we were all stunned. There were two big men's corpses lying on the main hall. Zhang Asi and Tang Daonan were gone. The two dead people's bodies were broken into pieces and their blood was spilled.
One place.
We are all too familiar with this way of death. It must have been done by the savage, but I didn’t expect it to follow him in. But I had a strange feeling in my heart. I felt that this savage didn’t just kill for the sake of killing, it seemed to
It has a very special purpose, but I can't figure it out.
No matter what, our top priority now is to escape. Following the stairs in front of the hall, we ran all the way towards the way we came. Halfway through, I suddenly remembered something. Even if we go out the same way, we can't get out of this valley.
The door has been blocked.
When I first came up with this idea, there was a loud "bang" on the cliff in front of me, and then a head protruded from it.
