Chapter 362 The Queen Mother of the West faked her death and escaped

After the coffin rose a few inches, the ten snake statues next to it immediately leaned toward the coffin body.

At the same time, the snake-patterned copper door moved and slowly opened downwards.

Wu Zheng and others were stunned when they saw this situation.

The mute Zhang jumped back when he saw the bronze door opened, and then stared intently at the back of the bronze door. Inside was a bluestone staircase sloping upward.

After Wu Zheng was awakened by him, he analyzed: "It turns out that the coffin is a gravity device that controls the copper door."

Jiang Yang glanced at the coffin and then shined a flashlight on the dome of the tomb. He saw that there was no abnormality in the human face carvings on it.

He remembered that there was a mechanism on it. When the coffin rose, it would open the door to a way out; if it sank, it would open the mechanism for killing.

Jie Xiaohua noticed Jiang Yang's reaction, glanced at the human face carving on the dome, and asked doubtfully: "What did you find?"

"Do you think this coffin will only rise?" Jiang Yang asked.

As a veteran in this field, Xie Xiaohua certainly did not think that the coffin mechanism would be so simple. He thought for a while and speculated: "Could it be that the sinking of the coffin will trigger other fatal mechanisms?"

Jiang Yang turned to look at him appreciatively, then nodded.

Seeing that Jiang Yang was so sure, the others also looked at the mute Zhang thankfully. Fortunately, the mute Zhang still remembered how to open the copper door.

In fact, this stone wall is not very high. Without opening the copper door, Jiang Yang can climb over the stone wall with a little help.

I was just worried that there was a mechanism on the stone wall, so I didn't choose this method of climbing over the wall.

Without further delay, everyone walked into the bronze door and climbed up the bluestone stairs.

As soon as he stepped onto the stairs, the entire cave suddenly started shaking violently. Even Jiang Yang was almost knocked down, but the shaking stopped after two times.

"Is this an earthquake?" Wu Zheng became confused.

If it were a natural earthquake, it wouldn't be possible to just shake it!

"Be careful there are traps on the stairs." Xie Xiaohua reminded.

Although they didn't know what happened with the huge vibration just now, it reminded them that they needed to be careful.

Everyone carefully walked up the stairs, and it didn't take long for them to finish.

This bluestone staircase has ninety-five steps, which means the ninety-five steps, because the platform above the steps is the throne.

Sitting cross-legged in front of the throne was a woman wearing ancient costumes. She was wearing various gold, silver, jade beads and other jewelry. She had a phoenix crown on her head, her eyes closed, and she looked calm.

In addition, her face and exposed skin were not rotten at all, and were extremely well maintained, just like a sleeping living person.

"Is this a dead person or a living person?" Fatty Wang shined his flashlight on the woman, feeling a little confused.

The blind man walked up to the woman, sniffed with his hand and then glanced at Fatty Wang: "Don't be so suspicious and scary all day long."

He proved it was a lifeless female body.

"The person who is qualified to sit on the throne is probably the Queen Mother of the West herself." Wu Zheng said looking at the female corpse.

"She's not!" Jiang Yang denied very firmly.

"Yes, she is not the Queen Mother of the West. The one wearing the mask is a substitute." Jie Xiaohua also agreed with Jiang Yang's statement and gave an explanation.

Wu Zheng and Fatty Wang took a closer look and found that something was wrong with the face of the female corpse. It turned out that she was wearing a mask.

"Why did Queen Mother Xi arrange for a substitute to sit here? Where did she go?" Wu Zheng asked doubtfully. "It is said that the Queen Mother of the West developed the elixir of immortality. If she had not died, where do you think she would have gone? Now that the Queen Mother of the West has become history, she has found a substitute here again. She must not want people to know where she went." Fatty Wang speculated. explained.

"There is a message!" the mute Zhang said, pointing to the stone screen behind the throne.

Everyone looked over there and saw a lot of vague words carved on the stone screen. It had been corroded over time and could not be read clearly.

"Who is this message to whom?" Xie Xiaohua muttered.

"It should be Xuannv's message to Queen Mother Xi." Hei Xiazi patted Xie Xiaohua's shoulder and replied with a smile.

"Xuan Nu is the legendary protector of the Queen Mother of the West. She is not only the special envoy of the Queen Mother of the West, but also the general in command of the Queen Mother of the West. She knows the military and the art of war very well."

After listening to the blind man's narration, Wu Zheng continued: "The coffin in the reservoir should belong to Xuannv." Then, he shined his flashlight on the human-faced statue on the dome, and continued: "Look at that face. It should be Xuannv. When you look at her from below, she looks extremely scary, but when you look at her from here, she actually smiles very gently."

"This Xuannv has left her most gentle side to the Queen Mother of the West!" Fatty Wang sighed.

"The relationship between these two girls is extraordinary!" Hei Xiazi said with a smile, and then winked at Wu Zheng and Dumb Zhang.

"It is indeed very affectionate. Even if I die, I will make my coffin into a mechanism and continue to protect this underground palace." Xie Xiaohua said with emotion.

"Step on the mechanism!" Jiang Yang waved the flashlight on the ground a few times and signaled to Fatty Wang at the same time.

"Mechanism?" He followed what Jiang Yang pointed to and saw different floor tiles, and then asked doubtfully: "Why is the mechanism here? In this position, as soon as Queen Mother Xi stands up, the mechanism will be triggered."

"This mechanism may not be a murder weapon. Xuannv will not harm Queen Mother Xi, and Queen Mother Xi will not be able to set a trap for herself." Wu Zheng analyzed.

"Why are you thinking so much? You'll know when you step on it." The blind man pushed Fatty Wang two steps away with one hand, stepped on the floor tiles of the mechanism with his feet, and stepped on the floor tiles.

At this time, the sound of Ji Kuo came out, and then there was a "rumbling" sound from the reservoir.

Everyone noticed something had changed in the reservoir and immediately looked down, only to see the red nematodes on the coffin gradually disappearing.

"It turns out it's a mechanism to get rid of the nematodes. It should be Xuannv's mechanism to protect the Queen Mother of the West." Wu Zheng suddenly realized.

At this time, the mute Zhang approached the female corpse, and then took off a white snake pendant from the female corpse.

He handed the snake pendant to Wu Zheng: "Take it!"

The snake pendant came close to Wu Zheng, and he smelled a pungent smell that almost made him vomit out his overnight meal.

Wu Zheng endured his bad habit and asked, "What is this?"

"Life-saving thing!" the mute replied expressionlessly.

The blind man glanced sideways at the snake pendant, and then advised Wu Zheng, "Just take it. This snake pendant can save your life at a critical moment."

"Snake pendant?" Wu Zheng took the jade pendant from the mute Zhang's hand and put it around his neck.

The only information in the throne room is that Queen Mother Xi faked her death and escaped, and more useful information cannot be hidden.

Jiang Yang stood up and walked behind the throne.

Others saw this and followed suit.

It was even darker behind the throne, and the light from the flashlight was not enough to illuminate the whole place.

Jiang Yang could only light a few kerosene balls and throw them in. When the fire became brighter, everyone could see the surroundings clearly.
