After listening to General Xiao Chang's words, Lin Yian stood there with a trace of hesitation in his eyes.
He knows that there are dangers lurking everywhere in the ancient tombs. Every decision may be related to his own life and death. He should not make it if he is an outstanding person!
However, the desire in his heart for the underworld artifacts and gold and silver treasures could not help him.
After a while, Lin Yian gritted his teeth and made up his mind to walk towards the dozen stone sculptures beside the wall.
His movements were extremely cautious. Every time he took a step, he would regularly tap the handle of the cyclone shovel on the green bricks on the ground.
After each knock, he listened intently to the changes in the sound and judged whether there were holes or other abnormalities in the ground.
After finally reaching the tomb wall, Lin Yian immediately turned his attention to the stone turtle. He repeatedly inspected every part of the stone turtle's body, not missing any small detail.
"Brother An, how about I come and help you?" Xiao Chang couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw Lin Yian being so cautious, and wanted to come over and help.
However, he was immediately stopped by Lin Yian, "No, young protector, just give me a break!"
He couldn't trust someone like Xiao Chang who became a monk halfway.
In Lin Yian's opinion, the dangers in this ancient tomb can only be assured after he personally investigates them. He does not want to put himself in a desperate situation because of other people's negligence.
Xiao Chang shrugged and did not persist.
Each of these dozen stone sculptures weighs two to three hundred kilograms. Since I am not allowed to help, I am free.
But speaking from the bottom of his heart, Xiao Chang felt that Lin Yian was a little too cautious.
Generally speaking, unless it is in a movie, TV series or online novel, traps are generally not set in the main tomb chamber of the ancients.
This is because the main tomb chamber is the resting place of the tomb owner and the final place to give the tomb owner peace. A trap is set up here. The tomb owner will not agree, and neither will future generations.
So there is no need to be so careful!
Just like in real life, even if people want to prevent theft, they will only install the security door on the entrance door, and will not install a cold security door in the master bedroom.
Finally, after Lin Yian confirmed that the stone turtles were not in any danger, he slowly pulled the two turtle-shaped stone sculptures to the cornucopia.
He took a breath, pulled out on the spot, and jumped directly onto the stone turtle's back.
When Lin Yian's eyes finally landed on the cornucopia, his face instantly turned as pale as paper, "No, fuck, why is there all blood in here?"
At this moment, there is no gold, silver or jewelry in the cornucopia, but a basin full of blood.
The strange blood color looked particularly dazzling under the dim light of the tomb, as if it was a warning from the Hell of Hell.
Seeing this, Lin Yian took a step back involuntarily.
But he forgot that he was stepping on the back of a stone turtle.
"Ouch!"
He stumbled and was about to fall to the ground.
If Li Jinyong hadn't had quick eyesight and quick hands to catch him in three steps at a time, he would have been seriously injured.
Xiao Chang heard Lin Yian's exclamation and hurriedly came over. When he climbed on the back of the stone turtle and looked into the cornucopia, his face was also full of shock, "Damn it, this Laoshizi Maritime Merchant Tomb is really evil.
Ah! Where did all this blood come from? You must know that this ancient tomb was built at least seven hundred years ago. Even if there is blood, it should have been done long ago!"
He jumped off the stone turtle and looked around the cornucopia, trying to find the source of the blood, but did not find any other suspicious signs.
"Fuck, why does the blood in this cornucopia seem to have a pair of eyes? Brother Li, hurry up and open your eyes!" Lin Yian suddenly shouted at Li Jinyong beside him, and took out his compass.
!
Li Jinyong waved his hand, signaling Lin Yi to calm down and stop being so fussy.
Looking at the blood in the cornucopia, he stretched out his right hand, tapped the so-called "blood" in the cornucopia with his finger, and then put it under his nose to smell it.
After just sniffing it, Li Jinyong shook his head and said, "This is not blood, but cinnabar! As for the eyes, they are the reflection of the luminous pearl on the top of the tomb!"
"But this thing is also very strange. What is the use of a cornucopia containing such a basin of cinnabar water if it doesn't contain gold and silver?"
His words immediately caused the three of them to fall into silence!
They are all thinking about the meaning of the cinnabar water in this cornucopia.
Yes, if the cornucopia doesn’t contain gold, silver, and jewelry, why should it contain some cinnabar water?
Play?
The appearance of this cinnabar water is really too sudden, and it is really confusing.
The weirdness and mystery that had faded away from this maritime merchant's tomb resurfaced again.
It seems that everything in the main tomb chamber hides unknown secrets.
"Ahem!" Xiao Chang was the first to break the silence. He said: "Could this cinnabar water be some kind of sacrificial item? Maybe the merchant entered the coffin and performed a special sacrificial ceremony? For example, to pray for the next life.
Immortality or something like that?”
But after saying that, he immediately shook his head, "It's unlikely. If it's a sacrificial item, it should be placed on the confession list instead of here!"
Li Jinyong thought for a moment and said, "Maybe this cinnabar water has something to do with that coffin.
"Taoism believes that cinnabar is formed by the pure yang energy of heaven and earth. Using cinnabar to draw talismans can not only increase the effectiveness of the talisman, but also summon gods and ghosts, subjugate demons, and cure diseases and eliminate disasters. But in fact, cinnabar has another magical effect, which is
Can repel insects!
"Everyone, look at this coffin. There isn't even a bug eye on the surface. I guess the tomb owner's purpose was to protect the coffin from being bitten by insects and rats!"
Speaking of the coffin, the three people's eyes couldn't help but move towards the coffin.
This is a coffin made of rosewood.
Rosewood is an extremely precious wood both in ancient times and in modern times. This coffin can be made of rosewood, which is quite in line with the status of a wealthy maritime merchant.
There is also a couplet engraved on the coffin:
First couplet: Dukes and princes will be blessed forever.
Second line: The family's luck will last forever and be prosperous.
Lin Yian smiled sarcastically when he saw this, "Haha, there are no princes and princes for thousands of generations. In ancient times, a dynasty lasted only three hundred years. Even if Feng Shui can really bring benefits to future generations, ordinary people should benefit from it if they have three or five generations.
Contented!"
After saying that, his expression suddenly changed, and the compass needle in his hand started spinning without any warning.
According to past experience, the random rotation of the magnetic needle often reminds you that there is danger in the tomb, such as lack of oxygen, or a landslide or something!
It's just that Lin Yian didn't say it out loud. As the saying goes, wealth is gained through danger. Even if there is any danger in this tomb, today he decided to take advantage of it!
But at this moment, a slight sound suddenly came from the main tomb chamber.
The three of them suddenly became alert. They stood still and listened quietly to the source of the sound.
After listening for half a minute, the faces of the three of them became increasingly ugly!
Without it, the sound seemed to come from the coffin.
It was like someone was tapping the lid of the coffin gently.
