Tomb Raiders Fake BG "Soul of the Sword"

It was a coffin.

It should be said that many coffins.

The lighting effect in the tomb was not the flashlight in Zhang Qiling's hand, but a faint green light on the roof of the hall.Although it is not bright, it is enough for them to see the layout in this large space.

There are all these rectangular stone pits neatly arranged on the ground, and there is a coffin in each pit, which can be seen everywhere.

If the coffin was filled with skeletons, it would be a huge morgue!

Zhang Qiling was half-kneeling, and his two long fingers ran across the edge of the coffin. The dust on the coffin had accumulated a thick layer. It seemed that the coffin hadn't been opened for a long time, or it hadn't been opened since the burial.He cleaned off the dust on it, and the dark gray wooden coffin was exposed.

Ajiu also squatted down at the other end of the pit, and reached out to touch the coffin.The coffin was not made of any good material, it was just paulownia wood, it hadn't even been painted, and it had begun to rot after many years.Zhang Qiling put his ear on it again and listened, then slid his finger down to find the coffin lid.Ajiu knew that he was about to open the coffin, judging by his reaction, it seemed that the few strokes just now confirmed that the coffin had no mechanism.He looked up at Ajiu, and Ajiu nodded.With a push of his two fingers, he was ready to pry the coffin lid open.

A few seconds later, the lid still didn't move. Ajiu looked up and found that Zhang Qiling's expression seemed to be stunned for a moment, then he took off the backpack and found the tools used to open the coffin from inside.This surprised Ajiu Xiaoxiao, she thought that with Zhang Qiling's strength, it should be easy to open this kind of civilian coffin.

He pinned one end of the crowbar to a corner, found a fulcrum and pried it hard, only to hear a 'crack' sound, and a piece of nail was pried out.There was a small gap in one corner of the coffin lid.

Ajiu used her fingers to twist it in the small gap that she had just pried open, stretched her hand back to her eyes, and rubbed the black particles that came out with her thumb and index finger: "This is... glue?"

Zhang Qiling also came over, and Ajiu stretched out her fingers.The black substance on the fingertips is like a mixture of asphalt and twigs. Although it has dried out a bit, it still maintains good adhesion.

"It might take a lot of work to pry it. Maybe the coffin was broken before the coffin was pried open. Just use a knife to cut the glue between the coffin lid and the coffin body." Ajiu rubbed her two fingertips vigorously. All at once, I twisted a little bit of glue on my finger into a small ball, and clapped my hands.

Zhang Qiling nodded, and pulled out a jet-black short knife from his waist, like a Japanese dagger. As soon as the knife was out of the sheath, there was a blue cold light on the blade. Ajiu immediately decided that it was a good product, although it was not as good as his own blade. , but it can also be regarded as a small dragon's back.

As expected of him, he hid all good things.

Zhang Qiling, the blade □ In the small gap that was pried open just now, slowly began to cut to the side, the whole process was careful, for fear of ruining the weak coffin all at once.

Taking advantage of the time when he opened the coffin, Ajiu walked around the huge tomb.She counted about [-] coffins, and the distance between each coffin was about one meter. These coffins were placed in the well-ordered coffin well here.There is no candlestick in the corner, and the lighting equipment is only the long burning lamp high above. Ajiu looked up, this ceiling is really high, no wonder the way here has been downhill all the time, it turned out that it was to leave enough space to build this palace.

If the people buried in this coffin are really people, the identities of these people really need to be investigated. Either this is a big family, or...

A bang interrupted Ajiu's train of thought, and Zhang Qiling had already opened the coffin.It was so dark inside that at first glance it was impossible to see what was inside.Taking a closer look inside with the light of the flashlight, Zhang Qiling frowned.

The black color inside is not a rotten wooden coffin, nor is it the corpse water inside, but a large dense mass of black shell insect corpses!Each worm is about half the size of a palm. You can tell by looking at the coffin how long these worms have been placed inside, and the black shell on the outside has lost its luster.

But in a coffin, why are there not human bones but a pile of bug husks?

Zhang Qiling poked it with a crowbar, and besides the bugs, there were some scattered white fragments at the bottom of the coffin.He picked up a piece and looked at the small piece.He is no stranger to this thing, as long as he is in a fight to open the coffin, he will definitely come across it. The color, material, and texture all indicate that the thing he is holding at his fingertips is a human bone scum.

If this is the case, then the remaining hundreds of coffins can be basically the same.

"This is insect bite." Ajiu came over and glanced at the coffin, with a disgusted expression on his face: "It seems that the people who were locked up here should be sinners."

There used to be someone in the coffin, but it was eaten by the corpse-eating insects until only bones remained.

I have heard a little about Zhang Qiling, but I have never encountered it, so I don't know it very well.

Insect bite, literally means that insects eat people.Pour the worms into the coffin where the corpse is placed, and let the corpse serve as bait for the corpse worm.

"Not entirely correct." Ajiu shook his head: "Insect eating is a method of punishing criminals. Put criminals sentenced to death into coffins containing corpse-eating insects while they are still alive, seal the coffin, and wait a few months. Afterwards, the worms will completely eat up the body, and then throw the coffin into the sea or burn it, such a soul will not be able to reincarnate if it loses its returned body, and will be reduced to a lonely ghost, and will eventually be annihilated."

Zhang Qiling shifted his gaze from the coffin to Ajiu: "Why did you do this?"

"Hmm..." Ajiu paused, pinching her chin with her fingers as if she was thinking: "Insect eating is just a form of punishment. I have never heard of so many insect coffins being buried with you. ..."

Zhang Qiling raised his eyebrows, motioning for her to continue.

"The stitching of the human soul and the body requires a great degree of fit. Once the original body is lost, the soul will be difficult to completely enter another corpse, and there will be more or less backlash. Therefore, the "returning the soul from the corpse" that you humans have passed down 'It stands to reason that it doesn't exist. So I think, maybe the owner of this cemetery didn't want to be alone after death, so he kept so many undead here. Ancient tombs have restrictions on spirits. After such a long time, the dead spirits here should all become earth-bound spirits, unable to get out."

"In this way, the unusual number of coffins also makes sense." She looked at Zhang Qiling, who also had a clear expression on his face.

This is not a tomb at all, but a funerary hall.The funeral objects are the souls of these poor people.

Then why are sinners?If you are afraid of loneliness, wouldn't it be better to bring your family with you?Could it be that you can't do it?

After hearing this, Zhang Qiling stared blankly at the coffin and meditated. After a while, he asked: "How long can a soul survive in the world after losing its body?"

"Eh?" Ajiu was stunned for a moment, and he didn't expect him to ask such an inexplicable question: "It doesn't have to be. It can be as short as a few years, as long as hundreds of years, or as long as thousands of years. But generally speaking, before death, there is a powerful The soul of an obsessed person will last longer."

Hearing this, he got up and packed the tools into the bag, and took out a long thing wrapped in cloth. He pulled the rope tied at the top, and the gray cloth slipped down, and the jet-black blade of the ancient black gold knife leaked out. When he came out, he pinned it behind his back, turned to Ajiu and said, "Let's go."

Go to the main coffin.
