Chapter 67 The Coffin

Because there was no light from the fireflies, it was pitch black inside. With the light of the flashlight, Nan Xing found that the house was densely packed with coffins, almost like a mass grave.

Just as I was about to sweep my flashlight to the corner, suddenly two rows of braziers lit up around me, illuminating the house clearly.

With the help of the firelight, Nan Xing could clearly see the situation in the room. Apart from the coffins on the ground, the whole house was also densely packed with coffins on both sides of the walls.

Could it be that this place is a Yizhuang?To open Yizhuang in the center of the city, the idea of ​​this ancient Yunzhu man is really strange.And, even more curiously, how did these coffins get in here?There is no door in this house, only a skylight that can accommodate one person to enter, and it is of the size of a fat man, and it is impossible to enter without losing a layer of flesh.

Could it be that this house originally had a door, but the door was sealed after these coffins were brought in?

While Nan Xing was thinking, she turned her head to look for Zhang Qiling, and saw that in front of him was a Qin Tongding tripod that was exactly the same as the Qin Tongding tripod she had brought back from the Yangzhong villa before, except that this tripod was about ten times bigger than those.

Nan Xing took a closer look, and saw that the mouth of the cauldron was sealed with a layer of wax, making it impossible to see what was inside.

At this time, Nan Xing noticed that the wax seemed to have melted a little, she suddenly thought of something, and suddenly looked up at Zhang Qiling.

The two exchanged glances, then flew to the burning brazier, and quickly extinguished the two rows of braziers.

There is white phosphorus in the brazier, which will ignite spontaneously when it comes into contact with the air. After burning, the temperature of the air will rise, and the waxy substance at the mouth of the tripod will melt, and the contents will be released. At that time, no matter what happens in the house, the situation will change tricky up.

The flashlight and the human body will also radiate heat into the environment, but it will not cause the temperature of the environment to rise.

Zhang Qiling began to scan the densely packed coffins with a flashlight, frowned, and said to Nan Xing, "The people in these coffins all died on the same day."

Upon hearing this, Nan Xing quickly took photos with a flashlight, took photos of several coffins in a row, and randomly took photos of a few coffins that were farther away.The date of birth and the date of death are all written in red paint on these coffins. No matter what the date of birth is, the date of death is always the same day without exception.

Even though these people lived in different ages, they all died on the same day in that year. This is really unbelievable. Is it a tradition for the residents of this ancient city to die on that day?But this is completely unreasonable. Unless it is suicide, who can calculate such accurately that natural disasters, diseases, and aging will all die on the same day?

So far, incomprehensible things have happened in the places related to the blind tomb, the girl and the bronze tripod in the weird murals in the villa, this ancient city buried deep in the ground, and the house where people died on the same day coffin of the dead body.

There were too many doubts in his head, Nan Xing sorted out his thoughts in his mind, and looked at Zhang Qiling beside him.

She organized her language and was just about to ask him.But Zhang Qiling said before she opened her mouth: "Nan Xing, I know you have a lot of questions now, but it is inconvenient for me to tell you here now." After finishing speaking, he gestured with the flashlight and said, I paid attention just now , there are still rooms inside, let's read them all before making any plans.

After speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the inner room.The room they are in now should be the center of the entire house, because judging from its size, it should already occupy a large part of the entire building, and there are not many places left to be explored. Nan Xing turned on the flashlight Moved away from those coffins, and followed Zhang Qiling into the inner room.

The two entered the room and took a brief look around. The room was not that big, much smaller than the room they were in before.

There is a row of coffins in the middle of the room. These coffins are very different from the room just now. They are all painted with red paint. Under the light of the flashlight, it looks as shocking as if they were covered with blood.

Turning to the other side of the room, I saw two bloody people sitting beside the coffin near the door, staring at her coldly.

Going forward to take a closer look, I found that these two people seemed to have been dead for a long time, and their entire bodies had shrunk and become rigid.Judging from the clothing style, these two people should have died here in the 80s.

Moreover, the brains of these two people were dug out, and the blood on their bodies flowed from their heads all over their bodies.After death, human blood basically has no fluidity, which shows that the brains of these two people were poached alive.

"Brother, this should be the missing member of the archaeological team, but the way of death is too strange, and there are only two corpses here, and the other team members..." Nan Xing said, sweeping the coffin next to him with a flashlight, suddenly she was deeply moved. Taking a breath, he turned around and asked, "Could it be that everyone is in the coffin?"

"Well. They should have entered the coffin by themselves at the time. These two outsiders probably didn't have time to open the coffin lid." Zhang Qiling said as he came to one of the coffins inside and pushed the coffin lid hard. Sure enough, there was a corpse inside, also wearing clothes from the 80s, but the corpse had no wounds or blood.

The other coffins, if nothing else happened, should also contain the corpses of the archaeologists. The entire archaeological team is here.

"They were trapped inside and dying of thirst." Zhang Qiling said while scanning the room with a flashlight, and finally stopped on a stone platform in the corner. A balance.

Nan Xing's gaze was also attracted by Tianping, she looked closer and said, "Four or two pull a thousand catties, it's no wonder the two of them couldn't push the last coffin away."

"Brother, do you want to open it?" Nan Xing picked up a bowl on the stone platform and asked back.

Zhang Qiling nodded, and Nan Xing scooped up a bowl of sand from the stone platform with the bowl in his hand, and poured it into the weighing pan where the balance was tilted up.

The weighing pan was lowered slowly, and at the same time, there was the sound of rattling gears and the rotation of chains in the room, and the coffin lid of the coffin was slowly pushed aside.

The two were about to check the situation inside the coffin, when Zhang Qiling made a gesture and said softly: "Wait, let's go back to the room just now."

The two returned to the big room full of coffins, and Zhang Qiling stopped beside the bronze tripod.

Nan Xing also went to check, and saw that the wax-like substance on the tripod's mouth had disappeared at some point, revealing the contents inside, which was very full, but at first glance, it was impossible to tell what it was.

"It's human nails, they are all pulled out from the fingers." Zhang Qiling said.

Upon hearing this, Nan Xing immediately re-sized the entire bronze tripod. Although the tripod is not huge, but the nail cover is only big, the entire tripod will be filled, how many people's nails must be inside it?How are these nails collected?Could it be the corpses in the coffin?What kind of custom requires people and nails to be buried separately?

Moreover, they had covered the brazier and extinguished it just now, so there was no reason to spontaneously ignite it again. Even if it had spontaneously ignited just now, they could still see the fire in the room inside.

Could it be that someone came in just now?Deliberately remove this layer of wax?Who can come in so unknowingly and get things done quietly?

Just as she was thinking, Nan Xing felt a chill down her back. This was not a psychological feeling, but the sixth sense of her body formed in such a high-pressure environment for many years. Her physical reflex was to bend down and dodge to the side.Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a black hand passing by her ear. If she was even a second slower in dodging, half of her face would be gone.

The moment Nan Xing dodged the sudden attack, Zhang Qiling had already stepped on a coffin beside him, jumped into the air, swept his left leg, and kicked directly on the neck of the thing just now, stepping down, the thing The moment he landed, his neck was broken, and his head fell from his body and rolled to the side.

The flashlight shone on the corpse of that thing, and I saw that the corpse was no different from a human being, except that the skin color was much darker, and there were various mottles on the skin.The hands and feet of the corpse were very bony, and the nails on them were very different from human nails. They looked extremely hard like metal, and were almost ten centimeters long, like Wolverine's claws.

At this time, I only heard the rustling sound from the roof, and I swept the flashlight on the skylight, and saw several "people" with long nails rushing in through the skylight, but after they entered, they did not attack. Just by the skylight.

They wanted to trap her and Zhang Qiling in the urn to catch the turtle, and they acted as the urn, so the helper to catch the turtle should already be in the room.And those fingernails in the bronze tripod are the tools to wake up the helpers!

"The corpses in the coffin are about to come out." Zhang Qiling held Nan Xing's hand, protected her behind her, and turned his eyes to the densely packed coffins in the room.

Then, I clearly heard a "bang" in the coffin, and immediately followed the sound, and found that the lid of a coffin had been flying up, and an ancient corpse stood up from inside.It was an extremely ferocious ancient corpse, but its limbs were the same as the corpse whose neck was broken by Zhang Qiling just now, with skinny bones and extremely sharp nails.

This kind of nail should be replaced after the original nail was pulled out.

Seal the original nails of the corpses in the cauldron, and these corpses will not rise up.Once the wax that seals the nails is removed, the corpse changes.

Soon, several coffin lids around the ancient corpse also flew up, and then, like dominoes, one after another, the sound of "Boom Boom Boom" continued, getting louder and louder. Many, the coffins in the entire room were knocked open, and countless corpses stood up from inside.

No matter how you put it, thousands of zongzi were dead at the same time. Among the ancient corpses, there was a series of "cluck, cluck, cluck" sounds, and then there was another place, and soon this sound was everywhere.
