Under the suppression of firepower, the number of black shadows in the sky rushing over has been reduced.
Under the leadership of Bai Fengyuan, Li Mu followed Ji Qishui, Lin Yingzhao and others and quickly ran to the location of the tomb.
Here is a downward passage with some huge bronze chains hanging around it.
Ji Qishui, who had just fallen into the pile of shit, glanced at the tomb and immediately confirmed the direction.
Then, with a vengeance-like secret of joy, Ji Qishui grabbed the bronze chain and jumped down without hesitation. He even intentionally rubbed the bird droppings on his body on the bronze chain while thinking happily:
"After going through a lot of hardships, I finally got down to the real coffin of the Ice Thunder King..."
The shaft inside the coffin shaft was very well repaired. As soon as everyone lowered their heads and got into the hole, they immediately smelled a musty smell.
Li Muxin said that the smell was really bad. The smell of bird droppings on his body was strong enough, but he still couldn't cover up the smell. He cursed in his heart and regretted not wearing a gas mask when he came down.
It's easy to climb down by holding on to the bronze lock, but the thick chain is very rusty when it reaches the bottom of the coffin shaft. Every time you climb, the green rust on it will fall off, making people a little afraid that it will break at any time.
However, copper rust is a very good anti-slip powder, which makes everyone's hands holding the chains very firm. The gunshots above their heads continued to sound. After descending for a certain distance, there was no movement above. Those strange birds seemed to be extremely afraid of the sacrifice tower.
He did not pursue the victory and followed him into the coffin well.
Everyone then breathed a sigh of relief and quickly climbed down on the iron chain.
The further you go down, the more humid it becomes, and some fungi and even some tree roots begin to appear around the coffin shaft.
However, the skin of these tree roots is completely different from the outside, very soft, and covered with many molds, and many unknown mushrooms grow on them.
Everyone was murmuring in their hearts, wondering what was going on inside the sacrificial tower. Could it be that the feces of these sacred birds fell into the coffin well, and the undigested seeds in it took root and sprouted in the ground? Otherwise, why would so many plants grow?
?
The coffin shaft soon reached the bottom. Under everyone's feet was a huge stone envelope. The white wolf's upper body was hanging at the entrance of the cave, and his legs were wrapped around the bronze chains. He turned on the flashlight with one hand and looked around. Here was a short hollow.
, it’s full of tangled roots, all made of tree roots.
Hidden among the entwining roots of these trees is a huge square stone coffin. If this bronze chain had not been directly locked to the coffin, it would have been wrapped like this and no one would have been able to see it anywhere else.
The mold on it has almost covered the stone coffin with a thick layer of moss green. There is a coffin bed under the coffin, which is now also wrapped firmly. The environment of the main tomb of the owner of this tomb is actually not as good as that of the underground Xuan Palace.
One in ten thousand, I really don’t know how the tomb owner would feel if he were still alive and saw his main tomb in this state.
But this coffin is bizarre enough. Why are the bronze chains hanging on it still attached to the sarcophagus?
Logically speaking, after using the Feitian Corridor to place the coffin into the main tomb, shouldn't the chain be removed and then the tomb owner should be buried?
Did something happen during the encoffining process? There is no reason for so many bronze chains to be inserted!
If all the chains outside hang a stone coffin like this, how many coffins are there? How many hundreds?
While thinking about it, everyone followed the bronze chains down to the coffin bed, and then they saw clearly that this thing was not as big as usual, almost like a pocket container. The edges of the coffin cover were covered with mold and moss. I don't know what they were.
Su Daji, who was taken down first, was cleared out by the four people from Qizhen Pavilion and scattered a large area on the ground, revealing the true face of the sarcophagus.
There are still many exquisite reliefs carved on it, but the content of the reliefs can no longer be seen clearly, and they almost grow together with the tree roots.
Wild Wolf and others hung on the bronze chains and did not come down immediately. They shouted twice outside. Lin Yingzhao was confused and did not reply. He thought that everyone was in danger, so he asked cautiously.
road:
"Captain, what's going on below?"
"There is a stone coffin!" Lin Yingzhao responded.
Sure enough, when he heard Lin Yingzhao's answer, he immediately jumped down from the coffin well and landed on the sarcophagus. Then Dashan, Shanzi, and several other Dark Dragon Guard guys jumped down.
The wild wolf walked up to Lin Yingzhao, looked at the huge stone wrapped in tree roots, and waved to Ji Qishui who was changing bullets.
As a research expert on ancient ice and thunder culture, Ji Qishui has extraordinary experience. He is the guide assigned to the wild wolves at Qizhen Pavilion. He took out a sharp small shovel and banged it on the front of the sarcophagus a few times.
He knocked down the mold and tree roots, revealing a small square hole.
Everyone came over curiously. Lao Zhou looked at the coffin body with a flashlight, then put his hand into the small hole, used a shovel to scrape off the moss on the outer layer of the inner coffin, took a look and said, "This is a burial coffin, isn't it?"
The coffin of the rightful owner.”
Li Mu was a little curious: "With such a big coffin, it's not the main coffin? How can you tell?"
At this time, Dashan actually took the initiative to explain: "This small square door at the corner of the outer coffin is for the soul of the tomb owner to enter and exit. If it is the coffin of the tomb owner, the lacquered window lattice of the inner coffin should be majestic and solemn. And this
Take a bite, the paint decoration on it is rather soft, look here." He pointed to a small painted figure on the inner coffin.
Bai Fengyuan nodded approvingly and said:
"good."
"The little man above is kneeling on the ground with a humble expression, which should be a respectful gesture. In other words, the soul in the coffin is waiting for someone to arrive!" He said firmly: "According to my analysis, this must be
It’s a woman who was buried with him!”
Everyone in the Dark Dragon Guard couldn't help but admire Bai Fengyuan. His knowledge was really profound. From going down to the coffin chamber to going straight to the outer coffin spiritual door of the stone coffin, and then analyzing the identity of the tomb owner through the inner coffin decorations, such experience was really great.
extraordinary.
When the wild wolf heard that it was a burial coffin, he immediately lost his appetite. He pushed Ji Qishui and said: "Go forward, go forward, complete the task quickly, there is no time to waste here."
Ji Qishui was almost pushed by him and staggered, but he didn't pay any attention to what he said. In archeology, opening the lid of an imperial-level coffin has always been the most troublesome. Even professional workers like Su Daji and Bai Fengyuan, no professional
It is really difficult to use tools to quickly open the lid of a coffin weighing several tons.
I took a flashlight and looked around, and immediately found clear footprints on the mold spots on the ground. Although they were different in size, they were all heading in the same direction. I roughly identified the direction, and I saw that it was where the sacrificial tower stood.
Location.
"Let's go this way." Ji Qishui took the lead and walked in front, while the others hung far behind, not sure whether it was out of caution or because of the smell of bird droppings on everyone's bodies.
Li Mu covered his nose and came to Dashan, the Dark Dragon Guard expert, to cover him and smiled at him. He nodded to Li Mu, and the two of them walked forward carefully along the footprints without much exchange.
There are too many fungi on the ground. It is estimated that these fungi fell in from the holes connected to the sacrificial tower. After more than two thousand years of reproduction, they have become so prosperous.
Walking in the world of fungi, you are surrounded by a layer of tender green fluff, as if you are walking on a grassland that has been reduced a hundred times.
