Chapter 102 Bronze Coffin (for Mu Nuanyang's classmate's crown
This mute acts differently than ordinary people. I suddenly saw him coming and couldn't help but become alert. The mute approached step by step. I thought he was going to have something wrong, but I thought he passed by me and walked to a place not far behind me, where half of the body of a skinless corpse was placed.
My heart skipped a beat and I thought to myself: No, this mute is too heavy-tasting? Do you want to eat this thousand-year-old corpse?
Immediately afterwards, I realized that it was impossible. Any corpse will be poisoned in the flesh and blood. What's more, this old corpse is extremely poisonous. Not to mention how disgusting it is to eat its meat, I'm afraid it will be killed on the spot after eating it. The mute is not such a stupid person. What exactly does he want to do?
I was curious, so I shakingly supported my body and walked over, but I saw the mute kneeling on the ground, with his ears pressing against the ground, as if I was listening to some movement. Although my expression was still cold, a light gradually rose in my dark eyes. I felt like I was mute and my ears pressed against the ground. At first, I didn't feel anything, but after listening for a long time, I felt a slight roar, and the sound was extremely weak. It was really hard to detect if I was not careful.
How could there be a sound underground? After listening for a while, I gradually realized that the sound was very similar to the sound of water. Could it be that the underground river was under our feet? Just as I was thinking, the mute expression suddenly condensed, and a hissing sound came from my mouth, and said, "So that's it." It seemed that I understood something.
Before I could ask, I heard a series of clicking sounds in my ears, as if countless mechatronic sounds were activated in an instant. The sound came very suddenly. Before I could understand what was going on, I felt the ground under my feet tremble slightly, as if something suddenly hit the whole ground?
Earthquake? Of course it is impossible. I know that some mechanism must have been activated, but what puzzled me was that the activation of the mechanism was usually triggered by external forces. Mute and I did nothing. What did the mechanism that was activated by ourselves do suddenly? I felt a vague feeling in my heart. At this moment, the mute said: "It has already begun."
His eyes suddenly stared at the corner of the wall, and I didn't know what he was looking at. I followed my eyes and turned the light up the maximum. I suddenly realized that the ground we were in was sinking! The four walls in the tomb chamber were motionless, only the ground began to sink, and groundwater began to gush out from the thin cracks at the link. I finally understood why the entire circular tomb passage was very wet, and this place would sink into the water once a while.
I can't figure it out, what's the purpose of doing this? It's not easy to create such a mechanism. Is there any mystery?
The ground was still sinking, and more and more water was poured in. The tofu was awakened by stimulation. When he saw the water flooding Jinshan, he was shocked and said, "What's going on? The tomb is still leaking?"
In fact, the most important thing is not water. We are so thirsty that we can drink if we have urine. At this moment, a pool of water suddenly popped up, and we could not control anything. We sucked our heads and drank them, filling ourselves with fullness. Then we felt like we were alive. At this time, the water in the tomb chamber and the tomb passage was already more than one meter high, but because the ground of the tomb chamber was sinking, the speed of the water could not keep up with the sinking speed, so the entire space became larger.
I immediately understood what was going on.
The real mechanism of this tomb passage is actually at the bottom. After the mute and I were wrapped in human skin, we sank all the way. The mechanism was opened and naturally fell to the tomb chamber. When the tomb chamber was closed, the road before it naturally disappeared. The entire tomb passage should be automatically running, so when the time came, it automatically opened again.
I explained my analysis to the two of them, and Tofu said happily: "So we can go out?"
I nodded and said, "As expected, when the mechanism of the tomb is fully opened, we can swim out along the waterway." As I finished speaking, the water level was getting higher and higher, but because the ground of the tomb room was sunken, the tomb walls were still dry, which was why we had not discovered the mechanism before.
In a blink of an eye, the water had become very deep. As we thought it was almost the same, we decided to seize the opportunity to escape. People often burst out with amazing potential in critical moments. I thought it was difficult to walk before. Now I probably had hope of escaping and replenishing the water source. Therefore, my spirit was greatly boosted and my strength was restored. The mute looked energetic, but tofu was more difficult.
The mute had half a rope behind him. He threw it to the tofu and said, "Tie it." In a flash, the tofu was tied up, and the mute and I tied a rope to drag it away. After preparation, the three of them took a breath together, dived into the deepest part of the water, picked a direction and swam forward. In this case, you can go out no matter how you swim, but the direction of the exit may be different, but this has nothing to do with us. After all, we cannot locate underwater.
After thinking about it carefully, when Xu Fu was buried, he was like all alchemists, with a corpse ascending to the sky. Unexpectedly, something went wrong in the middle. The true god did not leave his body, but instead his body came out of his skin, becoming a thousand-year-old corpse with some wisdom, trapped in the underground palace.
There is a circular tomb passage above our heads, which must be a kind of mechanism. The bones inside are 80% of the people who are killed by the thousand-year-old corpse. As for the identity of those people, you don’t have to think about it. 80% are those who come to explore the island. This underground river must connect to the outside world. Once someone goes into the water, he will be unlucky and when the mechanism is turned on, the water flows are chaotic, it is easy to be sucked into this circular tomb chamber, and the old corpse is treated as a snack.
Fortunately, the flashlight is waterproof. Mute and I had tofu tied to the waist and held the flashlight in our hands, swam forward in one breath. Soon, we saw half a staircase suddenly appearing in front of us. At this time, we were almost in a breath. Mute and I looked at each other in the water, and the two immediately went towards the stone steps in the water, and followed the stone steps upwards, and soon they came out of the water.
Tofu wiped the water on his face, and was curious. At this time, he didn't forget to look around. After reading it, he said, "What's this place? Huh, there is a pit there."
I saw a platform above the stone steps, surrounded by groundwater, and the shape was not visible. We were sitting at the edge of the platform, and there was a rectangular depression in the center of the platform.
I was curious. When Tofu said this, he immediately shook the water droplets on his head and looked in the sunken land. He couldn't help but be shocked and said, "It's a bronze coffin!"
The so-called coffin refers to the protective layer placed outside the coffin. Common ones include stone coffins and wooden coffins. Among the higher-level ones, there are jade coffins, gold coffins, and bronze coffins. The bronze coffins are mostly seen before the pre-Qin period and are not available if they are not marquises, kings, generals and ministers. I saw that there was a bronze coffin in front of me, with very high specifications. When I moved my heart, I immediately understood.
It seems that the lacquered fusang golden crow coffin with a mouthful of mahogany was originally placed in this coffin, but for some reason it floated out with the water. The coffin was about eight meters long, about six meters wide, and about four meters deep. A rectangular pit was exposed in the middle, which was the place where the coffin was placed, and many grids of different specifications were separated around it. The grid was filled with water, and exquisite antique objects were soaked in the water. This was the most precious burial object for the tomb owner to bury with the coffin!
Under the light, each of the dark lattices sinking in the water was placed in each lattice. The first thing that caught your eye was two white and transparent jade bis. After two thousand years, it was still transparent and flawless. There was a sword buried in the coffin. I had seen this sword in the previous mural. It was the sword used by Xu Fu to kill the ferocious beast. The sword body was ancient and it had been mostly rotten because it had been soaked in the water for too long.
What attracted our attention was a wooden box placed on the top of the coffin chamber, square and also a bronze box. It was obvious that it was used to hold large seals in ancient times. For sure, it must be a Liuhe seal inside!
I was delighted and said, "I searched for it without any effort. I opened the red-painted Fusang Golden Crow coffin before, and it was empty. I thought the Liuhe Seal was just a legend, but I didn't expect it to be placed in the coffin chamber." Of course, this life and death cannot be done in vain. I quickly took out the box from the water, glanced at the mute, but saw that he had no intention of competing.
Strangely, if this kid was doing business for the Japanese, how could he allow me to get the Liuhe Seal?
Tofu was still alive before, but now he looked at the baby and his eyes were glowing. He said to me, "Don't just take a box, take a little more." As he said that, he swept the coffin chamber and he had the strength to see. He didn't touch those rotten things, so he chose a few that were better preserved.
These are all pre-Qin antiquities. If you put one out, you will be a deep-water bomb. The tofu is waiting to be taken for more. I hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't want the big ones, pick the small ones, and only take two."
The tofu was unknown, so he said, "Two pieces? If I hadn't been able to take them, I would have taken them all. Xu Fu was cut in half by us, and we wouldn't come to settle the score with us. If we don't take them, we won't take them."
I said, "You know, these are national treasures. With our current connections, we can't even sell them out. How capable are you and how big a deal you do? It's too early to buy these magical objects now. When you accumulate strength in the future, you will have a wider path. There are still opportunities. If you pour out now, if you don't make a good deal, you will cause a disaster."
The mute listened from the side, nodded slightly, and said, "You are not too stupid."
Upon hearing this, Tofu picked two small items, one was a delicately shaped cave turtle, and the other was a blood-red figure hanging on the jade, small and light, exquisitely shaped, and rare to see. After putting the things in, I looked around and there was no other way. The three of us were about to continue going into the water, when we suddenly saw a huge black shadow appear under the water, as if some big fish were about to come up.
Tofu was shocked and said, "Looking at this shadow, it seems..." He didn't say it, but my heart sank, because the shadow was vaguely rectangular. Could it be that Fusang Golden Crow human skin coffin?
After a moment, the thing surfaced, what if it wasn't a coffin.
PS: The addition is over. Thank you for your support. Haha, she originally meant to let me rest, so there is no need to add updates. But it seems that everyone is staring at the crown and waiting for updates. I can't be lazy~~~
