Chapter 601 Strange Village
Jiang Chen and Li Wen stood on the top of the cliff and released their spiritual senses to sense carefully. However, neither of them sensed the breath of a living person in the village.
Of course, the spiritual energy fluctuations that the two of them initially sensed have long since disappeared.
Although the village seemed a bit strange, the two of them decided to go and have a look.
After careful observation, the two discovered that the sinkhole at the bottom of the cliff was not barrel-shaped. There was a gentle slope on the right side of the sinkhole for people to go down to the top of the cliff.
Jiang Chen and Li Wen immediately walked along the cliff to the gentle slope on the right. Of course, they also remained vigilant.
The sinkhole was not that big. In just a few minutes, the two of them arrived at the gentle slope.
When they got closer, the two of them discovered that this gentle slope had obvious human traces, but it didn't look like it had been paved recently.
The two of them slowly descended along the gentle slope to the bottom of the cliff. What appeared in front of them were houses built with a mixture of earth and wood. These houses also seemed to have a history.
"Is there anyone?"
Jiang Chen and Li Wen did not rush into the house. Instead, they stood outside the door and shouted twice, but no sound came from the house.
The two of them waited for a moment, but there was still no response from the room. Jiang Chen nodded lightly to Li Wen and reached out to push open the door.
"Squeak!"
This simple wooden door was not locked. Jiang Chen reached out and pushed open the door. After the door was opened, a burst of dust and a disgusting musty smell rushed out of the house.
Jiang Chen and Li Wen quickly took a few steps back, waving their sleeves to disperse the dust coming from their faces.
The two waited for a while, but there was still no abnormality in the house. Jiang Chen used his spiritual sense to sense it again, and then said to Li Wen.
"Third brother, follow me."
"Okay!" Li Wen nodded in agreement.
Jiang Chen took out his dragon beard pen and walked directly into the house in front of him.
As soon as he entered the house, what caught Jiang Chen's eyes was a corridor, and there were doors on both sides of the corridor.
Jiang Chen gestured to Li Wen behind him, and then reached out to push open the door on the right side of the corridor. When Jiang Chen saw the scene in the room clearly through the light coming from the window, he froze there, his face full of expression.
A look of astonishment.
Li Wen waited for a moment and saw no reaction from Jiang Chen, so he could only ask aloud.
"Fourth, what's wrong? What's going on inside?"
Li Wen's question made Jiang Chen wake up from his shock. He pointed to the room on the right and said to Li Wen with a strange expression on his face.
"Come and see for yourself."
Li Wen didn't understand Jiang Chen's meaning for a moment, so he had to step forward and curiously looked into the room. Then he also froze on the spot.
The reason why Jiang Chen and Li Wen had the same shocked expression was because of an item in the room.
The two of them walked in from the open door. There was only one object in the room, and there was nothing else. The object that shocked both of them was a stone coffin.
Where the bed should have been placed in this room, there was actually a sarcophagus placed.
While Li Wen was stunned, Jiang Chen turned around and opened the door on the left. As expected, there was also a sarcophagus in this room.
Li Wen, who heard the noise, turned around and looked over. Naturally, he also saw the sarcophagus.
"Fourth, this..."
Jiang Chen spread his hands helplessly: "Uh... I don't know what the situation is."
While talking, Jiang Chen stepped into the room on the left, and Li Wen followed him in.
After the two people entered the room, they discovered that there was indeed only this sarcophagus in the room, and nothing else.
Jiang Chen first looked at the room up and down and found that the walls and roof were just ordinary wooden boards without any special writing or symbols on them.
After looking at the walls and roof of the room, Jiang Chen looked at the sarcophagus in front of him.
This sarcophagus looked larger than a normal coffin, and it was white-grey overall. Jiang Chen was not sure what kind of stone this sarcophagus was made of.
Jiang Chen stepped forward and looked at it carefully, and saw that there was no gap at all on the sarcophagus. It seemed that the sarcophagus was a whole. There were no carvings or inscriptions on the sarcophagus, only a solemn white.
grey.
Jiang Chen gently tapped the sarcophagus with the barrel of the Dragon Beard Pen, and a "dong-dong-dong" sound suddenly came out. It was obvious that the sarcophagus was indeed hollow inside.
Jiang Chen stretched out his hand and lightly touched it on the sarcophagus, then put his hand in front of his face and blew lightly, causing a stream of dust to fly out.
He clapped his hands and said softly: "With such thick dust, it's obvious that no one has been here for a long time."
"Fourth, have you discovered anything?"
Li Wen asked.
"A good room is not used to live in people, but it only houses two large sarcophagi, and there are no tombstones or tablets in front of the sarcophagi. I have never seen such a scene in so many years."
Jiang Chen nodded slightly: "I have never seen such an arrangement, and I don't know the purpose of doing it."
After the words fell, Jiang Chen put away the dragon beard pen and tried to push the coffin lid with both hands. Unfortunately, the stone coffin lid, which was several inches thick, did not move at all.
Upon seeing this, Li Wen quickly stepped forward to help, but even if the two of them tried their best together, they still couldn't move the coffin lid even a bit.
"Forget it." Jiang Chen retracted his hand and said, "It seems that the strength of the two of us alone cannot open it."
"Fourth, what should we do?"
"Let's go, let's go look elsewhere."
"good!"
Jiang Chen and Li Wen walked out of this house and walked to the next house.
Although they had already entered one house, Jiang Chen and the two still remained cautious. After some inspection, they entered the second house.
This house is the same as the previous one. There is still a corridor after entering. There are also two rooms on both sides of the corridor, and there is still a sarcophagus in each of the two rooms.
After careful observation, Jiang Chen and Li Wen found that the specifications, layout and sarcophagus in the room were exactly the same as the previous one, as if they were copied.
The two walked out of the house. Li Wen looked at the remaining houses and said suspiciously.
"Fourth Brother, aren't there all sarcophagi in these rooms?"
"Well, we'll know after you take a look." Jiang Chen replied, "Third brother, let's check the remaining houses separately."
After knowing that there was no danger in the house, Jiang Chen directly chose to check the house separately in order to improve efficiency.
"good."
