Tomb Raiders View Shan Taibao

Chapter 51

"Old Hu, what Lao Jin said is not wrong, why don't we open the coffin before leaving? I was taken aback by this ghost tomb earlier, and almost scared me out of a heart attack. Why don't I get some How can it be worthwhile to go out with the Ming Qi?"

Seeing that the three people in the field had already reached a consensus goal, Hu Bayi could only nod in agreement.

After figuring out what happened to the sudden appearance of the Western Zhou tomb, they finally settled down and looked at the huge stone coffin again.

Feeling around the edge of the outer coffin with your hands, at most you can only touch a part of the protruding irregular coffin joints, because the inside of the stone coffin should be wedged with stone tenons, and the concave and convex splicing, so that the cover fits perfectly.

"The lid of this coffin is extremely tight. We came here in a hurry and didn't bring any tools at hand. I'm afraid it will be difficult to open it."

Hearing what Hu Bayi said, Wang Kaixuan pushed the huge stone coffin with his hands, but it didn't move at all, and if you didn't observe carefully, you would think that the whole stone coffin was fused together.

At this moment, none of them noticed that Feng Sijiu had already made a bunch of tools from the space ring.

With rope, crowbar, hammer and chisel, Hu Bayi and the others were groping for how to open the coffin, when suddenly they heard a few crisp clangs from the side, and the three of them hurriedly turned their heads, just in time to see Feng Sijiu , who was bending over to pick up a crowbar from the ground at this time.

The three of them were stunned for a while, because they didn't see how these tools came out, and along the way, Feng Sijiu basically traveled lightly.

If he was carrying so many things, how could the three of them fail to notice them, but right now these things seemed to have fallen from him out of thin air.

Da Jinya stared like copper bells, and said in surprise:

"Hey, Lord Feng, where did you get this guy, why does it look like this ghost tomb?"

"It's a bit troublesome to explain. It's better to open the coffin and get the artifact, and we'll talk about it after we get out."

Hearing this, although the three of them were puzzled, they didn't ask any more questions. They hurriedly picked up tools and began to prepare to pry open the coffin. Never underestimate the craftsmanship of ancient craftsmen.

The stone coffin in front of me is very neatly spliced ​​with stone tenons. If you want to use a crowbar to pry open the coffin cover, you must first use a hammer and a chisel to make a groove at the joint.

Fortunately, the stone is not very hard, it just needs more work. Due to the limited tools, they were divided into two groups. Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi knocked first, and then the two groups took turns.

Hu Bayi held the chisel with both hands against the sutures under the stone coffin lid, while Wang Kaixuan swung the hammer and smashed hard at the chisel. For a while, clanging knocks began to resound in the Hades.

After knocking for a while, when Hu Bayi was lowering his head, he suddenly saw that the candle that had been placed next to the coffin had gone out.

Ghost blowing lights?
"Wait, the situation has changed."

Wang Kaixuan, who was about to strike again with the hammer, stopped his movements after hearing this, and asked in bewilderment:

"What's the matter? Old Hu, how did I find out that you are always surprised today?"

"The candle is out."

Several people hurriedly looked at the candle on the side of the coffin. Because there were two flashlights on, the light was sufficient, and no one noticed that the candle had been extinguished long ago.

Feng Sijiu hurriedly shone the flashlight over it, only to see that it wasn't the candle that was extinguished, but that there was an upward step suddenly at the position where the candle was placed.

Everyone is now in the Nether Palace. From the perspective of the location, to be precise, there should be a step coming down from the top, because ordinary tomb robbers can only go down from the top.

Only a master like the golden abacus who built the Fishbone Temple can find the right position and drive the robbery hole into the bottom of the underground palace.

This upward staircase has wide stone steps, and each floor is made of whole large stone strips. Hu Bayi picked up the flashlight and went to the bottom of the steps to shine on it.

The beam of light from the flashlight was swallowed by the darkness, and it was impossible to see clearly more than ten meters away. It was a black hole, and I didn't know what was going on above.

"It seems that this staircase should also be part of the ghost tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty."

Seeing that it wasn't a ghost blowing the lamp, Hu Bayi was relieved, and the few people didn't have the idea of ​​going up to have a look. The ghost knew what danger would be there, so they continued to focus on knocking on the coffin.

Master Feng Sijiu just glanced at the hanging soul ladder, and then lost interest, and he didn't want to go up to have a look.

Only Da Jinya kept looking around nervously at this time, fearing that something that shouldn't exist would appear again, and the four of them took over and kept busy for about ten minutes.

Finally, a groove was made under the outer coffin lid. Feng Sijiu picked up the flat end of a crowbar more than one meter long and inserted it in, and pressed it down, just enough to fit in.

Then Feng Sijiu and Wang Kaixuan took the other end of the crowbar and pressed down with all their strength, only to hear a loud bang, and the stone coffin lid was immediately pried open a gap, although it was not very wide.

But with this provision, the outer coffin cover can be easily pried open according to the law. After a few minutes, the huge stone coffin cover was pushed down by the four people.

When he looked inside the coffin with the flashlight, the scene inside was absolutely unexpected, not to mention Hu Bayi and the others, even Feng Sijiu was taken aback.

I saw that there was not only one coffin hidden inside the huge sarcophagus, but two coffins, one large and one small. I saw that the coffin was nearly three meters long, and I thought it was covered with multiple layers of coffins.

Looking at it now, it turned out to be a double coffin!

Seeing this scene, Da Jinya felt amazed:
"Hey, Lord Hu and Feng, although it's the first time for my big golden tooth to go to the tomb, I know a thing or two about the tomb, and I have never heard of it. Two coffins can be placed in one coffin. What's going on again?"

After hearing what Da Jinya had said, Hu Bayi was also full of question marks and didn't know how to answer it, thinking that it was so fucking weird.

"Jin Ye, to tell you the truth, since ancient times, burial people have paid attention to the fact that only one coffin can be buried in one coffin. Even if it is a very rare joint burial coffin, the coffin should not be divided into two inside the coffin. There is only one coffin and two bones, but now there are two coffins inside the coffin, Brother Feng, you have seen a lot, can you understand the mystery of this?"

Seeing a few people looking over, Feng Sijiu said in his heart, what a fart to be well-informed, because this is already beyond his cognition, he really didn't hide it on purpose this time.

First of all, there is no such thing in the plot, and secondly, it is because the truth is the same as what Hu Bafang said, it is impossible for two coffins to appear in one coffin, such absurd thing.

"It's the first time I've seen this kind of burial in one coffin and two coffins. I'm afraid I know less than you."

"Oh, what are you guys thinking so much about? Didn't you, Hu, say that this is a treasured geomantic place suitable for burying women? Then you see, the big one and one small one must be a mother and son."

To be honest, although Wang Kaixuan has something, but not much, his idea is indeed novel, it may be so, but the fact is by no means so simple.

"People in ancient times paid great attention to the theory of Feng Shui. If it is really a mother and child, there will only be two corpses in one coffin. They will not use such a burial method. After all, it will be harmful rather than beneficial."

Hearing Feng Sijiu's explanation, Wang Kaixuan retorted unconvinced:

"It's also possible that this pair of mother and son, because they often quarrel and have a bad relationship, so in order to prevent them from meeting in the same coffin, they were divided into coffins."

"Oh, Fat Lord, you are contradicting yourself. If the relationship is really bad, it can be divided into two coffins and two coffins. Why do you make it like this?"

The four of them quarreled for a long time, but they didn't figure out what the reason was. Could it be that the husband was dissatisfied with his wife and children, so he made this kind of burial?

It can be seen that the specifications of this tomb really don't seem to be perfunctory. Even the coffin in front of us is very likely to be a rare three-layer coffin.
