Chapter 63
The meaning of the so-called dark coffin is very simple. The one that can be seen at a glance in the tomb is called the open coffin, and the one that is hidden is called the dark coffin.

At the beginning, the coffin of the Jin Guo general in Niu Xinshan was a dark coffin, and it would only rise if the mechanism was touched.

"Yes, yes, what the old nonsense said makes sense, let's look for it."

A group of four moved separately, looking for clues.

Hu Bayi, Fatty, and Xiaodie searched along the wall of the tomb.

Gao Xing walked to the middle of the tomb, knelt down on the ground and observed carefully.

According to his thinking, generally speaking, if it is a dark coffin, most of it will be placed in the middle of the tomb.

Needless to say, I really found something.

The dust on the ground was blown away, and some patterns were faintly revealed below.

"Old Hu, come and see..."

"Oh?"

Fatty ran the fastest, and rushed to Gao Xing in no time.

"Get a brush and clean this place..."

After cleaning, I found a clue: in the middle is a large stone slab with a square of two meters.

However, the stone slab is almost seamless with the entire tomb, and even the blade cannot be inserted into it, and there is no way to buckle it open.

"Don't try in vain, if you can't pry it open, there is probably a mechanism."

Hu Bayi stood up and looked around for the mechanism.

In the end, Xiaodie made another contribution... Well, she has the potential to be an accomplice.

"Ha, I found it!"

The girl found a protruding button under the altar.

"It's that simple?"

On the contrary, Hu Bayi was a little suspicious.

It’s okay to say that there are a few buttons, and I can still find a way to crack it.With only one, that means no choice.

"Old Hu, don't scare yourself. You see, there were no traps when we came in, and there are no traps in this tomb.

It's obvious that the tomb is under their own yard, and they think it's safe, there's no need to set traps or anything..."

Hearing Fatty's words, Hu Bayi couldn't help but said: "Fatty, I didn't expect you to be smart at times."

The fat man immediately became proud: "It's necessary...Huh? No, are you praising me or hurting me?"

"Hahaha, of course it's a compliment!"

Xiao Die said angrily: "You two, stop playing tricks. Is this mechanism to be turned or not?"

"pull!"

The fat man shouted loudly.

As a result, Xiaodie ignored him, and instead cast her gaze at Gao Xing.

"Come on, I think there should be no problem."

"Then I'll pull it off."

Xiaodie was a little excited, she exerted a little force...

"Click!"

With a soft sound, the eyes of the four people cast their gazes to the middle of the tomb.

"Eh? No movement?" Fatty blinked.

As a result, as soon as the voice fell into the tomb, there was a rumbling sound, and the whole tomb trembled slightly.

"It's open, it's really open..."

Seeing the stone slab rising slowly, the fat man roared with excitement.

"Your uncle, keep your voice down... By the way, I almost forgot to light the candle."

Hu Bayi took a drink, then quickly opened the bag, took out the compass to locate the southeast corner, and lit a candle.

Kocho watched silently.

When Hu Bayi got up, he pointed at Hu Bayi and shouted: "Well, do you still dare to admit that you are a tomb robber? Don't think I don't know. Tomb robbers need to light candles before opening the coffin. Once the candles are extinguished, they have to hurry up." Let's go, right?"

The fat man asked stupidly, "Who did you listen to?"

"Don't worry about it, anyway, I've heard people say it."

"Xiao Die, you misunderstood. I lit the candle because I was afraid that there would be poisonous gas in the tomb. You see, if the flame is red, it means it is safe. If it turns green, it means there is poisonous gas. If it goes out, it means there is insufficient oxygen. , of course you have to hurry up..."

Hu Bayi knew that this explanation was quite pale, but Xiaodie guessed it was the same thing, anyway he couldn't admit it face to face.

At this time, Gao Xing frowned and said, "Don't talk about these things being useful or not... You see, the coffin hasn't been raised yet."

The slab has been raised by the trap and moved aside, revealing a hole.The movement has stopped, but the coffin has not been raised.

"Is the real tomb still below?"

"Go, go and have a look..."

A group of four walked over slowly.

I took a photo of the probe... I just found out that there is no coffin at all, and there is a tomb below, and there are two corpses lying in it, as well as some funeral objects such as gold and jade.

The skeletons were a man and a woman.

This also confirmed Xiaodie's previous explanation that the woman was buried with her.

Strangely enough, though, the two bodies looked very different.The man's bones were obviously shriveled and shriveled, like smoked dried meat.

But the female corpse has not changed at all.

There was a piece of animal skin covered with strange symbols on her face, and the face and head could not be seen clearly.

But the exposed neck and hands, except for being pale, are completely the same as normal people.

Such a weird situation, even Xiaodie couldn't figure it out: "It's strange, they were buried at the same time, and the environment is the same, why is there such a big contrast between the corpses?"

The fat man wasted his brains lazily, thinking he was humorous and said, "Didn't you say she was beautiful at first? Maybe it's because she was born so beautiful."

"Hey, fat man, it's rare that you are so educated..."

Hu Bayi did not forget to tease him.

But at this time, Gao Xing frowned and said nothing.

He felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Just now, he had secretly opened his heavenly eyes to observe, but there seemed to be a mysterious power in the tomb below, which made his heavenly eyes unable to see through it.

From the naked eye, the animal skin covering the woman's face, and the weird symbols on it, are a bit like ancient Tantric scriptures.

Moreover, among the funeral objects below, Gao Xing also found several unusual items.

Although it is not too sure, but preliminary estimates, it is very likely to be an ancient magic weapon of Tantric Buddhism.

"Old Hu, developed, look below..."

The fat man shook the flashlight below, a little smug, his eyes gleaming, his face greedy, completely forgetting that there were two corpses below and an archaeologist beside him.

Hu Bayi coughed dryly, glared at the fat man and shouted, "Your uncle, these are all cultural relics, don't think wildly."

While speaking, he gave the fat man a wink.

"Yes, yes, Lao Hu, hang me with a rope, I'll go down and have a look...Xiaodie, look around and see if there is no mechanism or anything."

In the end, Xiaodie snorted: "Fatty, you want to push me away? No way, I want to go down too."

"Don't get off first!"

Gao Xing came back to his senses and quickly roared.

"what happened?"

The fat man took a step in fright, and quickly backed away a few steps.

Hu Bayi also glanced at Gao Xing with some doubts: "Gao Xing, this...shouldn't be a big scorpion?"

Gao Xing shook his head: "I can't say for sure, I always feel something is wrong. In this way, don't go down, and find a way to uncover the animal skin on the female corpse's face."

"All right!"

Hu Bayi responded, and found a telescopic rod from his bag.

This kind of telescopic rod is somewhat similar to a retractable fishing rod, but it is much stronger. When straightened, it is almost four meters long, enough to reach the bottom of the grave...
