When the coffin was opened, the surroundings fell silent. Everyone seemed to be holding their breath and looking at the coffin without blinking, for fear that they would miss something when the coffin was opened.
Only Ace and Neil were talking. After failing to find any mechanism to open the coffin, the two of them each took a crowbar and pried it on one end and two corners of the coffin.
As he pried it open, Ace said that this coffin was the strangest coffin he had ever seen. He had studied a lot of ancient Chinese documents and had heard a lot of strange things, but he had never seen a coffin like this.
Eleven stood on my left side, looking at the coffin with straight eyes and said, I have been doing archaeology for so many years, but I have never heard of such a coffin from the seniors I met. The shape is too strange.
The rest of the people said nothing. Ma Xiaolan held the exorcism stick tightly in her hand, in a completely alert posture.
Everyone was wondering what would be inside the coffin when it was pried open, and my fear gradually dissipated, as if there was a magical force attracting me, making me curious about this coffin.
My heart felt like a moth rushing to the flame.
"It's open!" Ace felt that the lid of the coffin was somewhat loose.
Neil gave Ma Xiaolan a strange look, and Ma Xiaolan took a step closer.
Mo Yibai and I didn't step forward, we just stretched our necks and looked in the direction of the coffin. There were a lot of weird things happening, and it was inevitable that we would be on guard for fear that a weird big insect would pop out of the coffin. I know.
Even if there are good things in it, they won't be ours, so we don't want to be cannon fodder.
Ace and Neil looked at each other at the same time, and with a push of their hands, the lid of the sarcophagus slid downwards.
Just when I was about to take a closer look at what was inside the sarcophagus, I felt a force push me from behind. I took a step forward and hit my knee on the edge of the sarcophagus. Before I could recover, another force came out.
Huge force struck, and the man rushed forward again. Only a few vague human bones were visible at a glance, and the man was pulled into the sarcophagus by a force.
"Long Zui Meng!" Ma Xiaolan shouted loudly.
After that, there was no other sound except the sound of rolling stones.
It was as if the person was placed on a slide, and the body kept sliding down. It was pitch black all around, and I couldn't see anything.
I struggled for a moment, trying to grab something, but when I grabbed it, I caught a hand. I was shocked. I couldn't have caught something like a corpse.
When I just wanted to shake it off, I felt something was wrong. How could the body be warm? This hand clearly felt warm.
"Calm down!" A bright light appeared along with the cold voice.
With the bright light, I saw clearly that the person I was holding was Mo Yibai.
"Did you push me just now?"
"careful!"
With Mo Yibai's shout, we landed on the ground at the same time. Fortunately, we didn't hit the ground on our heads or break our heads in half. We just felt slightly numb when our butts landed on the ground.
"Get up, take it. We have to find that thing before they come down!" Mo Yibai threw my equipment bag and my exorcism wand to me, and then put on his own bag.
"What are you looking for? Where is this place?" I picked up the backpack and the exorcism stick on the ground and looked at Mo Yibai and asked calmly.
"Talking as we walk." Mo Yibai had already put the miner's lamp on his head and took a step forward.
I looked back at the place where I just landed. It was a circular tunnel, and I could vaguely hear a knocking sound coming from above. I followed Mo Yibai quickly, not knowing what Mo Yibai was doing.
What the hell is going on? How did he know that there was a secret passage under that coffin, and why did he bring me into the secret passage? He even brought his equipment. It seemed that he had been prepared for it.
"They have the same goal as us." After I followed Mo Yibai's footsteps, Mo Yibai said, "There is a secret leading to the Tomb of the Immortals here."
"How do you know?" I looked at Mo Yibai suspiciously.
Mo Yibai reached out and touched his body and handed a black business card into my hand. I almost forgot that I still had this business card with me.
On the black business card between them were a few blood-red words: Plan No. 2.
I asked Mo Yibai what Plan No. 2 was and when did An An arrange Plan No. 2.
After Mo Yibai took the business card back, he threw me a letter. The letter was given to him by the hunchbacked old man whom Mo Yibai dreamed of after he was injured and fainted. After the letter came, Mo Yibai found that he had more
A letter.
Things are getting weirder and weirder. My dreams have come true, and even the things in Mo Yibai's dream have come true. I always feel that there seems to be a huge conspiracy behind things. What is the purpose of secretly searching for the tomb of the immortal?
Why did my grandfather know about the Tomb of the Immortals? If Ma Xiaolan and the others were really looking for the Tomb of the Immortals, then what were they doing? Who would risk their lives for a fortune that might be nothing?
I quickly opened Mo Yibai's letter and read it. The letter was very brief. The general content was that if we met Ma Xiaolan's group, we wouldn't have to act as we said before. The letter said that Ma Xiaolan's group
It is also to find the Tomb of the Immortals. They know more information than we do, so if we follow them, we will have unexpected gains. The letter emphasized that once anything is discovered, we must be ahead of Ma Xiaolan and the others.
After reading it, I returned the letter to Mo Yibai and asked how Mo Yibai knew about this organization. There was no explanation in the letter.
Mo Yibai put the letter on me and asked me: "Are you afraid that I will harm you?"
I glanced at Mo Yibai, a little confused, "If you wanted to harm me, you would have already done it, and you risked your life to save me again and again. Didn't you say we are friends?"
"Then don't ask. It's not something you should know." Mo Yibai said.
I thought to myself, why are these people so secretive? Ma Xiaolan is like this, and even Mo Yibai is like this. They say they treat people as friends, but they are no longer friends if they don’t say anything.
"Why did you pull me down, Shi Yi and Hua Bubai?" I asked Mo Yibai again.
"You're quieter. I feel better when I'm with you." Mo Yibai said calmly.
Mo Yibai's expression suddenly became less cold, and he didn't seem to be a particularly impersonal person.
As I walked, I asked Mo Yibai, who said we looked alike before, where exactly did we look like? I couldn't figure it out.
Mo Yibai gave me an answer that was not an answer. Maybe one day I will know.
I knew that asking further would be asking for trouble, so I changed the subject and asked Mo Yibai if he knew what Ma Xiaolan and the others were looking for, and what we were looking for now.
Mo Yibai said he didn't know, just take it step by step.
I said this to Mo Yibai all the time, and found that this Mo Yibai was not particularly unkind. Occasionally, he would still talk to you, but he would not say a word. I asked Mo Yibai
Did I have any issues with Ma Xiaolan before, or did I know who Ma Xiaolan was? It seemed that Ma Xiaolan had some scruples about him and asked me to stay away from Mo Yibai.
"I don't know." Mo Yibai was a little cold again and seemed unwilling to talk about Ma Xiaolan. I no longer asked for trouble.
The surrounding area became quiet, and the only sound left was the footsteps of two people walking.
I began to look at the environment we were in. There was a lot of space. As we walked forward, there were giant stone pillars carved with dragons on both sides. The dragons were lifelike.
The whole space has a very commanding aura, which reminds me of a royal palace. Except for the pillars, there are reliefs of dragons everywhere. Whether it is above the head or under the feet, some are reliefs, some are paintings, and some of the dragons on the paintings have already been painted.
It has faded, but the reliefs are exceptionally well preserved.
From my experience, although the things here seem to be well preserved, they are extremely ancient. As for how ancient they are, I don't know.
Two rows of coiling dragon stone pillars lined up straight on both sides of us, extending continuously forward. The front was pitch black, and no one could see what would appear at the end.
I don't know if there really is anything connected with the Immortal Tomb. I gradually feel that there seems to be a magical force here, guiding us to continue exploring forward.
There was a sudden hissing sound all around, and I, who had been following Mo Yibai attentively, was startled. I didn't know what kind of monster or danger would appear. From the moment I got involved in this incident, my life was already in danger.
There is even a feeling that my life is hanging by a thread. From the very beginning, I have been mentally prepared to meet the Lord of Hell at any time. Having said that, if I really die, I will definitely still feel unwilling to do so.
Mo Yibai's reaction was very calm. It could almost be said that he had no reaction at all. He just paused for a moment before continuing to walk forward.
After walking a few steps, he probably realized that I hadn't caught up with him, so Mo Yibai said again, "It's just Ye Mingzhu."
As soon as he finished speaking, as if to confirm what he said, the surroundings suddenly became as bright as day.
On the left and right sides, there is an egg-sized luminous pearl placed on the top of two rows of long dragon-coiled stone pillars. The sudden light illuminates the entire space as if it were daytime.
Mo Yibai explained as he walked that these luminous pearls are unique and need to be stimulated by light to light up. When we came in, the miner's lamp illuminated the luminous pearls. When the luminous pearls absorbed enough light, they would light up like a fully charged desk lamp.
became famous, so these luminous pearls are also called light energy pearls.
"Light energy beads?"
"Legend has it that the Dragon God refined it from a colorful stone left over from Nuwa's patching of the sky. The Dragon God trained a total of forty-nine light energy beads. Legend has it that they were later owned by the Dragon God's descendants."
"Descendants of the Dragon God? Is there really such a thing as the Dragon God in this world?" Although I know the existence of the Lord of Hell, as a modern intellectual, I still don't really believe that there are really gods in the world.
"I don't know." Mo Yibai had already turned off his mining lamp and continued walking forward, "There is a legend. After Nuwa completed mending the sky, a black dragon did evil in the Central Plains. Nuwa fought with the black dragon for three days and three nights.
, killed the black dragon, but failed to eliminate the evil spirit of the black dragon. Nuwa was worried that the soul of the black dragon would be reborn and harm the world again. Knowing that the Dragon God had been coveting his own multicolored stone, Nuwa gave the remaining multicolored stone to the dragon.
God, and at the same time made a condition with the Dragon God, hoping that the Dragon God can protect the safety of mankind from generation to generation."
Mo Yibai paused as he spoke. We have reached the end of the two rows of dragon columns. The white jade steps are like a winding dragon circling upward, leading to a height of about ten meters. On the top is a
A huge chair.
Glancing at the high chair, Mo Yibai continued: "It is said that the descendants of the Dragon God gradually evolved into humans over the next tens of millions of years, and these humans have always been known as a mysterious person because they have the blood of dragons.
They live in seclusion in a secret place. They have nothing to do with the world. The only value of their existence is to follow the wishes of their ancestors and wait for the black dragon to harm the world, and then come forward to protect the safety of mankind."
I looked at Mo Yibai's serious expression and was stunned for a moment. I said, "Wait a minute, when you tell me this, do you want to tell me that this is the country of the descendants of the Dragon God?"
