Chapter 80 - Confusion

I turned around and looked around. It seemed that this area was often eroded by the cold wind. A thin layer of ice had formed in many places near the bridge.

I tightened my clothes, and then everyone walked forward while talking.

As they walked forward, everyone felt that the coldness was getting stronger and stronger, and they could clearly see that the cold air gushing out from their breathing was particularly strong.

After walking for a few minutes, everyone was surprised by this scene.

I saw a high platform on the water actually appeared in front of everyone.

The entire high platform is about three meters above the water, which is much higher than the stone bridge at our feet.

The entire high platform appears white, and the position where the stone bridge connects to the high platform is an upward staircase. Starting from the position of the stone bridge, the color of the stone bridge gradually begins to move closer to white.

The high platform was about ten meters long. I was so cold that I couldn't help but shiver and took a closer look. The entire high platform was in the shape of a hexagon.

The stone bridge connects to the hexagonal platform at one corner, and there are two other stone bridges separated from the hexagonal platform.

There are thick stone pillars below the high platform, but the people on the high platform cannot see clearly. After the flashlight beam shines through, the top is completely dark.

Seeing this, I said solemnly: "This should be the center of the tomb of the chief of the Zhali tribe. The coffin of the chief of the Zhali tribe should be on top of this high platform."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but feel happy.

Gai Wan praised: "After walking for so long, I finally found the coffin of the leader of the Zari tribe. Alas..."

At the end, Gai Wancheng couldn't help but sigh, probably thinking of Lao Jiang who died during this trip.

I walked up to Gai Wancheng, patted Gai Wancheng's arm, and said, "When we go out, we will set up a tomb for Lao Jiang, Taki, and Lao Er."

Gai Wancheng nodded and I said, "Okay, let's go up."

After saying that, everyone raised their feet and walked towards the high platform.

After walking seven or eight meters, I finally understood why the stone bridge connecting to the high platform was white.

Not only does the entire high platform appear white, but even the water surface has been dyed white.

When they walked closer to the high platform, waves of bone-chilling cold wind kept coming from all around the heads of everyone. Even Li Kun, who was wearing the most clothes, began to shiver uncontrollably.

And this white color is not crystal or anything else, but a thick layer of ice that has long been condensed on the ground.

The moment he stepped on the ice, a sound like stepping on snow suddenly reached everyone's ears.

I took a closer look, and boy, this ice layer was actually covered with a thin layer of snow!

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but look puzzled. Why is there still snow in this tomb?

Lan Wantian looked up at the top of everyone's heads, and then heard a exclamation from Lan Wantian.

"Look above, are they stars?"

After hearing this, everyone looked upward in unison.

I saw that everyone actually saw stars above their heads, and from the top position, they could still see the scene above with the moonlight!

No one knows how high the distance above is, but it is at least several hundred meters high.

At the top is a circular hole, like the crater of a volcano.

There are many densely packed small round holes at the entrance of this circular hole. The size of each round hole is at least seven or eight meters, and the entire huge circular hole is at least fifty meters long!

I saw that Li Kun's eyes were blood red at this time. When Li Kun saw this scene, he also opened his ghost eyes and began to look at the scene above carefully.

Immediately, Li Kun said: "Damn it, no wonder we feel so cold here. It turns out that the top has been opened up, and the snow on the ground is all falling from above."

As he spoke, Li Kun stepped on the ground, and the sound of stepping on the snow was endless.

After listening to Li Kun's words, Gai Wancheng asked: "I didn't expect that the top of this tomb is not completely enclosed like many tombs in ancient times. Ninety-nine percent of the tombs built in ancient times were

It is fully enclosed so that the corpse will not rot easily, but the tomb of the leader of the Zhali tribe is very different. There is an opening at the top, and it is still built on the water. This is something I

Never expected it.”

I didn't answer a few people's questions, and started walking up the ice-covered ground below to the high platform above. Now I just want to see what the coffin of the leader of the Zhali tribe looks like. All the coffins here are now

Everything was beyond my expectation.

When everyone saw me going up, they followed me up one by one.

Although there is a sheet of ice under your feet, fortunately there is a thin layer of blood on top of the ice, so it is not unusually smooth when you step on it.

After everyone got up, everyone picked up their own lighting tools and shined their light towards the center of the hexagonal platform.

This scene now shocked everyone, as they saw that there was indeed a coffin sitting in the center.

The length of the coffin is less than three meters. Because it is too cold here, the entire coffin has already been covered with a thick layer of ice. No one can see what is going on inside the ice layer.

There should be a lot of carvings on the entire high platform, but because of the ice layer, no one could see clearly what was carved on the high platform. They could only see some vague murals carved on the high platform.

Judging from these vague carvings, the carvings are also the female chief of the Zari tribe.

The entire high platform is surrounded by giant stone pillars, each of which is about five meters high.

But there are statues of six-clawed poisonous toads on these stone pillars. There is such a statue of six-clawed poisonous toad in every corner.

The coffin in front of me is placed horizontally. There is a square pillar below the coffin, which is about less than half a meter. The entire coffin is on this square pillar, but the two are not the same.

connected together.

I looked carefully and found that the entire coffin should be made of wood. Although it was wrapped in ice, the color of the coffin could still be clearly seen.

The entire coffin was a bright red color. The first time I saw the coffin, I knew what the wood was.

This coffin was made from the sacred willow tree of the Nazari people, and this large coffin was made from the center part of that sacred willow tree.

No wonder the willow tree was hollow inside when we came down from it. It turned out that the middle part was actually used to build the coffin of the chief of the Zari tribe.

Seeing the scene in front of me, I couldn't help but admire it again and again, but then an idea suddenly came to my mind.

I clapped my hands and said, "I know!"

After hearing this, everyone turned their heads to look at me.

I continued: "Now I know why the Zari tribe placed their leader's tomb here!"

Gai Wancheng asked: "Is there something fishy in this?"

I nodded and said: "We are indeed out of the Sarita primitive forest area now. If my guess is correct, the location above us is the snow mountain, so we can see the ground above

There’s so much snow.”

"Furthermore, building the tomb of the leader of the Zhali tribe here is not a very bad choice, but an excellent and excellent place!"

"Look at the scene around you. The entire high platform has been frozen. Even the water here has been frozen with a thick layer of ice. Because there are snow-capped mountains above, the location of this tomb must be the same year.

The temperature is the same throughout the four seasons, or even lower, and this proves the thinking of the ancients."

"If the corpse is placed here, it will definitely be preserved intact and will not cause the corpse to decay due to the passage of time. Although this is not a place with excellent feng shui for natural travel, it is definitely a place

To the extent that a corpse can be kept from decaying for ten years and not deteriorating for a hundred years, even the North Pole is not even one ten thousandth better than here!"

After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.

Gai Wancheng said: "So that's it. No wonder it was so cold here when we walked here. I didn't expect that the Zhali people actually came up with such a way to preserve the body of the clan leader permanently. It's really unexpected.

"

Li Kun turned his head and looked back and forth, and said to me: "Old Liu, do you think it is better to be buried in the tomb of the undead female corpse in the ice chamber we encountered before, or in the tomb here?"

I said: "Both of them have their own advantages, but if they are compared, the ice chamber of the undead female corpse is better, but it is not much. The difference between the two is not too big."

Hearing this, Li Kun couldn't help frowning and said: "In that case, although the location here is also very good, it cannot guarantee that the body will not rot or deteriorate for thousands of years."

After saying that, Li Kun scratched his head, feeling puzzled.

But then, Li Kun's eyes lit up, he turned to look at the coffin in the center of the high platform, and said to me: "Old Liu, do you think there will be the cold elixir I need in the coffin of the leader of the Zhali tribe?"

Hearing this, I turned to look at Gai Wancheng. Before we came here, I heard Gai Wancheng mention that there might be that cold elixir in the tomb of the Zhali people.

When Gai Wancheng saw the gazes of Li Kun and the rest of us, he turned to look at the coffin in the center and said, "As far as I know, there was indeed a rumor back then that the chief of the Zhali tribe killed the holy willow in order to obtain the cold elixir.
