Du Leding was stunned for a moment, endured the pain all over his body and got up, turned around to see if the things in the library had been chased down.

Charlie hung on Duledin's lap like a koala, not daring to look at the bloody mess on the ground.

Barrage: This is a horror show!

Barrage: This is a weight loss program, I silently put down the meal in my hand.

Barrage: Are Charlie and Tintin injured?Be careful with that thing in the library!

Barrage: Isn't that Su Teng's mecha helmet? Could it be... his... head... right?

"Su Teng is dead?" Charlie glanced at the metal helmet on the ground, remembering that in the cave, the mecha was so majestic and domineering, but now it died so miserable, he couldn't help feeling sorry for him, and worried about the fate of himself and Duleding stand up.

Du Leding cautiously explored the long stone steps, touched the painful ribs, and after confirming that there were no fractures, he went to the corpse to have a look.

"This shouldn't be Su Teng." Du Leding said.

Although Su Teng stayed in the humanoid mecha from the beginning to the end, Du Leding had never seen what he looked like, but the corpse on the ground was not wearing a mecha, but a protective suit.

The cutting edge of the corpse was very irregular, especially the skull, which was all broken. Du Leding deduced that the murder weapon might be a blunt knife.

A blunt knife can cut the whole person in half, which shows how strong the person holding the knife is.

After examining the corpse, Du Leding bit the bullet and walked to the cross coffin.

"I'm confused. How could the alloy shell of the mecha be easily split?" Charlie was shocked, and looked around to see the situation in the dark passage, but the place where the flashlight couldn't reach was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything.

Seeing Du Leding staring straight at the coffin, Charlie hooked his leg with his claws: "That's the cross coffin you're looking for?"

A slight tingling pain came from his leg, waking Du Le Ding from his dream-like daze.He walked to the cross coffin to look inside.

The cross coffin is about two meters high, including the width of the inner and outer coffins, and the horizontal extension is about three meters long.Made of bronze, the lid of the coffin has a pattern of firebirds, and the body of the coffin is carved with flame patterns.The copper coffin was mottled with rust, and the raised copper nails were already bald.

The inside of the empty cross coffin was covered with a thick film-like covering. Du Le Ding stretched out his hand and carefully scraped it with his nails. The covering immediately turned into powder and fell off.

Du Leding retracted his hand and smelled the smell on his fingertips, his eyebrows were knotted.

Charlie was puzzled as to why there was a coffin in the secret passage of the cathedral. After all, there had never been such a thing as a coffin in the history of this planet, and this peculiar shape puzzled him even more.

"What is this yellow paper?" Charlie tilted his head, pointing to the paper pasted on the coffin lid.

Du Leding tore it off and looked at it: "Amulet paper. Although it can't resist tomb robbers from opening it from the outside, the charm on it can prevent the things inside from coming out."

Charlie was startled: "What's inside? What else is in the coffin besides the corpse, why... why did it come out?"

Du Le Ding went around and took a look behind the cross coffin. In this secret passage, the cross coffin stood here very abruptly, and there was nothing related to it.

But in the tomb 60 years ago, this was not the case. The coffin with a unique shape stood in front of a stone gate.

60 years ago, on the edge of the Mu Us Desert.

"Glass clock, thick amber, small trough wine dripping with pearl red. Cooking dragons, cannons, phoenixes and jade fat, weeping, and embroidered curtains surrounded by fragrant wind..."

As soon as the man's hoarse voice came out, it was carried by the wind and sand and blown into the distance, with a sound of eight feet, infinitely desolate.

Du Leding looked at the back of the guide walking in front, and signed to Shen Yu: I can't understand what this madman is singing.

Shen Yu explained: "This is a poem, and he probably changed it into a song."

Du Le Ding: Can you make him shut up?I'm afraid that the author of this poem will crawl out of his coffin to settle accounts with us.

Shen Yu smiled and said nothing, a bit like "you can you up".

Du Leding looked at Shen Yu with contempt: If I wasn't dumb, my singing would definitely sound good.

Shen Yu nodded: "Yes, it's like a puppy when you open your mouth."

Du Le Ding made the simplest sign language - the middle finger.

They were heading towards the ancient tomb in the desert, and the guide leading the way was Lin Zifeng, who was leading the way. The locals called him Crazy Lin, saying that his ancestors were coffin-bearers, and their ancestors had been haunted for generations.

Judging by his words and deeds, he is indeed a bit crazy, carrying a broken flagon all day long, squatting outside the bar, squinting his eyes and basking in the sun, humming four or six tunes, and stretching his legs to trip someone passing by. He never tires of being beaten.

But he is the best guide in the area. It is said that he can walk out of the desert with his eyes closed.

Du Leding was full of suspicion, and always felt that this person was unreliable. In the end, it was Zhao Cheng who made the decision and decided to use Crazy Lin as a guide, and they set off.

When he got near the ancient tomb, Crazy Lin refused to go any further. He threw his backpack and tent on the ground, saying that he would wait for them here for three days.If they did not come back after three days, he would go away by himself.

When Du Leding and the others left, the broken gong-like voice of Crazy Lin came from behind: "...I advise you to be drunk all day long, and the wine does not reach the soil on Liu Ling's grave..."

The soil on the grave is ominous no matter how it sounds.

Not long after, Du Leding and the others stood in front of the cross coffin in the ancient tomb.Not to mention Zhao Cheng's inexperience, he was dumbfounded by this strangely shaped coffin, even Du Leding and Shen Yu had never seen a cross-shaped copper coffin.

Du Le Ding: This may be the gatekeeper's coffin.

Shen Yu nodded in agreement.There are two types of gatekeeper coffins. One is inside the tomb, which is cleverly blocked behind the door, so that it is difficult to open the door from the outside;

The cross coffin stands upright at the end of the tomb passage, in front of a stone door, obviously belonging to the latter.But they couldn't explain the shape of the coffin.

All they know is that no matter what kind of gatekeeper's coffin it is, they cannot be opened. Unless they have the ability to reach the sky, the things in the coffin will definitely be gone by the tomb robbers.

Zhao Cheng has recently supplemented a lot of knowledge about ancient burial customs. He patted the coffin and said, "In ancient times, copper coffins were usually used for those with signs of corpse change before burial."

Du Leding gestured: This is showing off.

Zhao Cheng couldn't understand sign language very well, and Shen Yu didn't translate it either. He touched the coffin lid and the closure of the coffin body and said, "Generally speaking, this is the case."

Zhao Cheng raised his eyebrows: "Any special circumstances?"

Shen Yu walked to the stone gate behind the cross coffin, and said lightly: "When the living are buried, they will be made into the living dead by vicious methods."

When Du Leding was inquiring about the style of burials during the period of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms, he heard from his elders that the so-called insidious methods were probably brought into the Central Plains by foreigners.First pour medicine into the living person to make him lose his five senses, then put him into a copper coffin, fill the coffin with full of medicine, and then seal the coffin with a spell.

The potion will burn the skin of the person alive, slowly seep into the person's body, and turn the person into a monster that is neither alive nor dead.

Whether there are any living dead in the cross coffin, Du Leding can't be sure, because they didn't tear the talisman to open the coffin.

But looking at the two fallen corpses in front of the coffin, there must be something terrible that was released.

It's just that this cross coffin is the same as the cross coffin they saw in the ancient tomb back then?

Du Leding is a bit hairy, could it be that with his rebirth, some things from his original world were also brought to this world?

"Ding Ding, come and see this!" Charlie had left Du Le Ding's lap at some point, ran to the edge of the flashlight, and was pointing at the wall of the dark passage.

Du Leding withdrew his thoughts, walked over to take a look, and the thought he had just dispelled struck again, causing a chill in his body.

On the smooth and flat wall, just like the cross coffin, an out of place mural suddenly appeared.

The color has already peeled off, and it can barely be seen that it is the scene of an ancient woman getting married.Due to the large scene, it can be seen that this woman has a prominent status.

She was sitting on a canopy carriage, showing her side face through the window, and there was a row of ladies on both sides. Judging from the peculiar costumes, it was obviously not the Central Plains costumes.

The cart was not a horse either, and its traces were vague, so it could only be judged from its height that it was some kind of reptile.

Charlie looked around, pointed to the top of the carriage and asked, "What is painted there, is it a bird?"

There is a shadow hovering above the carriage, which indeed looks like a bird. It may be a bunch of auspicious birds and beasts that the ancients made up to symbolize auspiciousness.

Du Leding didn't have the time to think about whether the birds were birds or not. He had seen the whole picture of this part of the murals, and the procession of seeing off the relatives stretched for several miles. It took a long time to describe this scene.

His heart was getting heavier and heavier, and there were more and more signs that the tomb 60 years ago, like a dismembered corpse, appeared part by part in this ancient alien city.

He couldn't explain this weird and mysterious phenomenon, and didn't know whether he should continue to explore.Maybe he should leave here quickly and live a new life with a new identity, never to be associated with tomb robbers again in this life.

Just when he was full of entanglements, a strange voice came into his ears.

He and Charlie held their breaths and listened. The sound came from one end of the tunnel, like a heavy metal object dragging and rubbing on the ground, and it was carried out regularly and intermittently.

It sounds like someone is dragging something on the ground, and every time you take a step, the thing moves forward.

The voice came from far to near, slowly coming towards them.Duledin winked at Charlie, signaling him to move towards the stone steps in the secret passage.

Charlie nodded, and the two stepped back in the same way lightly.

After walking a few steps, there was a sudden hissing sound from the stone steps, and Du Le Ding's heart skipped a beat, thinking that he had found that thing!

In front of them were heavy steps that were not hurried or slow, and behind him was an unknown shadow. He and Charlie stood in the middle of the tomb passage, with no way to escape!

Charlie subconsciously hugged Duledin's thigh again, trembling uncontrollably.Duleding's Adam's apple slipped rapidly, and his sweaty head turned quickly.

The alloy crossbow in his hand was hundreds of years old, and it might shatter after a few more pulls.

Even if they are intact and their power remains undiminished, they are now being pinched from front to back, and the visitor may not even be human, can an alloy crossbow deal with it?

Duledin backed away slowly until his back was against the wall, the voices from the left and right gradually approached, and both he and Charlie's hearts were in their throats.

When a strange silhouette appeared under the light of his flashlight, a pair of hands suddenly grabbed his shoulders.

Before he had time to scream out, he was lifted into the air, and the alloy crossbow in his hand fell to the ground.

In the next second, his back was leaned against a cold and hard object, and his mouth was covered at the same time.

Du Leding's eyes were wide open in the darkness, and he instinctively wanted to get rid of being controlled by others. It wasn't until he felt the metal touch in his palm that he realized that the person behind him might be Su Teng.

For some reason, Du Leding suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and the heart that was about to spit out of his mouth finally fell back into his chest.

There is an exit above this secret passage, and they are hiding in it at this time.Du Le Ding looked down, the alloy crossbow was lying quietly on the ground, and the flashlight tied to it was shooting a fan-shaped light source towards the wall.

Just as he was staring at the light, a black shadow flashed across the wall.

He took a step back subconsciously, completely sticking to the chest of the man behind him.

After a while, until there was no movement under the exit, the person behind him let go.

Du Leding wiped his face, turned his head and was about to say thanks, when a faint voice suddenly came from the distance of the passage, which made his scalp explode——

"Glass clock, thick amber, small trough wine dripping pearl red..."
