After the hero goes crazy

Chapter 207 Strange things happen

Lu Zhi has a cautious temperament.

The first thing he checked was the funerary objects placed in the outer tomb.

Knives, swords, etc. were hung on the stone wall above the tomb, indicating that the owner of the tomb should have been a martial artist during his lifetime.

The left and right sides of the entrance are full of pots and tripods, some of which are half a person high, and there should be things in them.

Shizi held up the torch to look at it, and even reached into the jar to take a look.

"what?"

Yao Shouning stood on tiptoe, poked his head from behind his shoulder and looked forward, trying to see clearly what he reached out and touched.

Lu Zhi turned his body halfway so that she could see more clearly. He put the thing in his hand to his nose and smelled it, then sent it to Yao Shouning, saying:
"It should be the grain to be buried with."

He grabbed a handful of dark things in his hand, and when he heard him speak, Yao Shouning also probed forward and smelled it, smelling the faint smell of fermented food and wine.

It should be that after King Dai was buried that year, his descendants put whole grains in these pots and tripods, and they were buried in the tomb for more than 400 years, and these grains fermented into wine by themselves.

Lu Zhi threw back the thing in his hand, stretched out his hand and stirred it a few times, then shook his head:

"no problem."

After finishing speaking, he lifted a wet hand, and saw that the palm and the gap between the fingers were covered with black millet, and the 400-year-old wine dripped down his fingers, he frowned, his eyes It moved to Yao Shouning's body, and finally settled on her sleeve.

Yao Shouning knew that what he meant was that there were no snake sloughs in the jar, so he couldn't help being a little disappointed, but when he saw his gaze, he immediately felt vigilant:
"Don't rub it on me!"

She was wearing the same set of clothes when she went to Nan'anling when she went out today, but it was already dirty during the process of climbing the cliff and drilling the hole twice, and she already had a headache when she went back. How to clean up and drink again I'm afraid it's even more difficult to tell after it's discovered.

Lu Zhi was going to be told off by her, so he shook his hand twice in disappointment, scraped the mouth of the can with his palm a few times, and finally wiped it twice on his skirt with a frown.

From his small movements, Yao Shouning could see that he had a slight obsession with cleanliness, and when he explored the pots and cauldrons later, he didn't want to reach out, but took his long sword to stir them.

He didn't leave any of the objects on display, and even looked between the cracks of some funerary objects. Soon the outer tomb was searched, but no suspicious things were found.

Not discouraged, the two stepped into the inner tomb from the outer tomb.

Compared with the outer room, the inner room is obviously much larger, and the funerary objects are obviously more advanced.

The tomb is surrounded by murals, and even after many years, the colors in some places are still very bright.

Lu Zhi still checked the surrounding objects, not letting go of every crevice, including some corners and shadows, trying to find snake holes for snakes to crawl, etc., but in the end he found nothing.

The eyes of the two finally fell on the sarcophagus in the middle, and Yao Shouning sighed—by this time, she had already given up hope.

Every part of the inner tomb has been inspected, and there are no snakes, rat holes, or snake sloughs.

The snake slough stepped on at the entrance may be just a coincidence. It may be that in the 400 years after the tomb was built, the outsider opened the mouth somewhere, accidentally drilled into a snake, and shed its skin there.

When the two walked in the middle, Lu Zhi stretched out his hand. With his four fingers slightly bent, he clasped the belly of the tomb-suppressing stone beast on one side with his knuckles. The sound from the sound showed that the mouth of the stone swallow was solid, and there was no hiding place in the belly. .

He looked at the stone beast's open mouth again, and there was nothing unusual about it.

This time Lu Zhi was also silent for a moment, then looked up at the sarcophagus.

"I'll go up and have a look first."

While speaking, he took off all the things on his body, leaving only a long sword hanging on his waist.

Yao Shouning nodded, let go of his hand, and took two steps back, and stood against the side of the tomb-suppressing stone beast.

Lu Zhi held the sword in one hand and the torch in the other, and raised his breath—then his body jumped into the air and stood on the top of the sarcophagus.

The coffin lid has been sealed. After looking around, he said:
"I nailed it."

This matter is not easy to handle.

Being able to drive iron nails into the stone coffin without cracking the stone slab requires extraordinary craftsmanship, which is enough to show that the generation king was worried about being robbed by later generations.

But at the same time, the iron nails are still there, and the sarcophagus is intact, which proves that the coffin has not been opened.

"After the tomb door is lowered, maybe the two of us are the first visitors."

As soon as Lu Zhi said this, Yao Shouning felt weird.

With a movement of his hand on the sword, it fell to the hilt, and with a push of his thumb, the long sword was unsheathed with a slight sound.

Yao Shouning was taken aback:
"What do you want to do?"

He replied:

"I want to open the coffin and have a look."

They've come anyway, so there's no reason to return empty-handed.

The purpose of the two of them was to investigate the 'River God'. Although there was nothing unusual in this tomb except for the snake slough that was accidentally discovered at the entrance, Lu Zhi was not reconciled. Ready to open the coffin to take a look at Dai Wang's body.

Yao Shouning was a little nervous when he heard this, Lu Zhi had already let go of his palm, and the sword fell back into its sheath.

She was startled for a moment, but before she could speak, she saw that Lu Zhi had already jumped down and landed in front of Yao Shouning without a sound, saying:

"You go up with me and hold the lamp for me."

He held the fire folder with one hand, but nailed the lid of the sarcophagus with the other hand.

At this point, Yao Shouning naturally no longer flinched, and nodded.

She stepped on the stone ladder and motioned the prince to lean over.

Strange to say, it wasn't the first time that Lu Zhi carried her on his back tonight, but this time when she lay on his back again, she seemed to feel a little different.

A soft warm body was pasted on the back, and the hanging hair was entangled with him. The prince hesitated to reach out and hold her tightly like before, his heart was beating non-stop.

It was Yao Shouning who noticed that he was in a daze, so he couldn't help but reach out and pat him on the shoulder:

"Sir?"

He came back to his senses immediately, only feeling a burst of hot air from his chest, straight to his neck.

At this moment, he wanted to look back at her, but he was also afraid to look at her.

The person on the back is light, but the weight seems to be different from before.

"what happened?"

Yao Shouning tilted his head down and asked him suspiciously.

Her bundles of hair fell down, fell on his shoulders, wrapped around his arms, cold and smooth, with a faint fragrance, and a faint blue luster under the dim light.

"Don't move!"

Shizi patted her on the back with his backhand, blaming his weird reaction on her struggling to move around, making himself affected by her and messing up his thoughts.

Using this movement, he pressed on Yao Shouning's back, adjusted his breathing, and then jumped onto the top of the coffin.

As soon as he reached the top of the sarcophagus, he immediately let go of his hand, and quickly jumped a few steps away from Yao Shouning.

"I didn't move."

Yao Shouning didn't know what was going on in his heart, and held up the fire pocket and muttered:
"Obviously you were absent-minded."

"I'm thinking about opening the coffin!"

After Lu Zhi said this, Yao Shouning shut up immediately.

He didn't dare to look up at the girl's face, but from the firelight and the movement of the shadow, he knew that she was approaching him.

Yao Shouning stood beside him, turned his gaze around, and then looked at the iron nail he mentioned.

There were seven nails in total. As Lu Zhi said, the iron nails had penetrated deep into the sarcophagus, and the nuts did not penetrate half an inch into the stone.

In the past 400 years, the iron nail has long been rusted, almost integrated with the groove, and there is no trace of being opened at all.

"How are you going to open the coffin?" Yao Shouning couldn't help asking when he saw him standing still in front of a nail.

When it came to business, Lu Zhi's expression suddenly calmed down. He slowly drew out his long sword and answered Yao Shouning's question:
"Dig out these nails first, and then push the coffin lid halfway."

The nail seemed to be buried deep, but in reality, someone drilled a hole in the sarcophagus lid and the coffin before hammering in the iron nail to seal it.

While he was speaking, he used the tip of the sword to pull out the surrounding rust first, and then stuck the tip of the blade into the nail cap. With a twist of his wrist, the muscles of the forearm stretched, and a section of the iron nail was pulled out immediately.

Lu Zhi picked up the long sword, and the iron nail was lifted high from the sarcophagus by his strength, and finally he held it in his palm.

' Flutter and rinse. '

As soon as the iron nail was pulled out, a hole the size of a finger's eye appeared, and the rust stone sand accumulated around it slid straight down, falling into the sarcophagus with a fine sound.

Yao Shouning's gaze fell on the iron nail, and he saw that the iron nail was at least one foot long and as thick as a thumb. It was already covered with rust, and it was worn out during Lu Zhi's forceful removal, and it seemed that it would break at any time.

"It seems to have a fishy smell."

As the iron nails were pulled out, a faint smell came immediately.

Yao Shouning sniffed, and exchanged glances with Lu Zhi. The two eyes fell on the small hole. Lu Zhi stretched out his hand to block the hole, saying:

"It may have come from inside the coffin."

After the sealed coffin lid leaked a small hole, it seemed that there was gas gushing out.

He concocted it according to the law and pried out all the other six coffin nails, and the smell in the inner tomb was even worse.

Lu Zhi motioned Yao Shouning to sit in the middle, while he stood to the side:

"I'm going to push the lid off the coffin."

Yao Shouning responded without daring to be careless. He sat cross-legged in the middle of the sarcophagus lid, held up the torch, and saw the crown prince standing beside the coffin.

The edge of the sarcophagus was engraved with cloud patterns, and he could step on half of his feet. He raised his breath to stabilize his figure, and turned his half body to the side of the sarcophagus. At the same time, he retracted the long sword into its sheath, and then circulated the power into his arms. Slowly push——

'Crack——'

Yao Shouning felt her body slowly move back as the sarcophagus lid was pushed away. She opened her eyes wide in surprise. She didn't expect Shizi to look thin and tall, but she didn't expect such strength.

But before he had time to speak, the moment the sarcophagus lid was pushed away, a terrible smell came out from the coffin.

The more the coffin lid can be pushed open, the stronger the smell will be.

After pushing away a foot or two, the shadows were gradually dispersed by the light, Lu Zhi lowered his head and looked down, his expression suddenly changed slightly.

Yao Shouning only felt that the smell was very unpleasant, but seeing Lu Zhi's expression, he knew something was wrong.

She hurriedly held the fire folder with one hand, kneeled and crawled cautiously towards the edge of the coffin lid, and leaned over to have a look——

I saw that in the sarcophagus, thick and solid snake sloughs were densely intertwined at this time. Under the light, it seemed that many snakes were entangled together!
"what!"

When Yao Shouning saw this scene, he was taken aback. When his body trembled, the flames also flickered.

As the flames flickered, the scales on the snakes' sloughs seemed to flow with brilliance, as if the snakes had also 'lived'.

Lu Zhi's expression became serious and his eyes were sharp.

I had already gained nothing tonight, but I didn't expect the real gain to be here.

"So many snakes!"

Yao Shouning tried his best to calm herself down, but seeing so many sloughs still made her scalp tingle.

Under the bright or dark light and shadow, it was hard to tell for a while whether it was just the skin left behind or there was really a dormant snake inside.

No wonder the fishy smell came out as soon as the coffin lid was opened. Unexpectedly, the king's tomb turned into a nest of snakes.

When she was terrified, Lu Zhi said:

"It should be all snake sloughs."

After finishing speaking, he put his hands on the strings of the sarcophagus, ready to turn over and go down:

"I gonna go see."

"don't want--"

When Yao Shouning heard this, he couldn't help being anxious, and stretched out his hand to the void, as if trying to stop him:
"It's very dangerous down there."

She already realized that something was wrong, and while speaking, a phantom seemed to flash in front of her eyes.

Those remaining snake sloughs seemed to be revived instantly, and the sound of "sizzling" uttered messages incessantly.

The snakes twisted around each other, as if they were guarding something.

Yao Shouning had a hunch that what she and Lu Zhi did unintentionally tonight seemed to have discovered a big secret.

Lu Zhi glanced at her, she looked nervous, obviously really worried about something happening to him.

This feeling is very fresh, he has always been self-reliant, after practicing martial arts when he was young, he spends less time with his parents and spends most of his time in Shenwumen.

He was young and famous, talented and meticulous, it seemed that very few people would worry about him for fear that something would happen to him.

"rest assured."

Although Shizi felt that this feeling was a bit weird and novel, he didn't seem to be disgusted, but said with a normal expression:
"Even if there is danger down there, it won't hurt me."

Hearing what he said, Yao Shouning didn't speak, but the worry and fear on his face did not diminish.

This place is in the tomb of King Dai, and after digging the tomb, we saw so many snake sloughs, we already know that something big happened to the tomb of King Dai.

There were only her and Lu Zhi in the tomb. If something happened to Lu Zhi, she would be left alone.

"Can……"

Just as she was about to speak, Shizi slapped the long sword on his side, his face full of confidence:

"As long as I have a sword in my body, even evil spirits can't get close to me."

He was young and energetic, with a determined look on his face.

But in Yao Shouning's mind, the night when the two chased away the "River God" came to mind, and Shizi also slapped his long sword with his hand, and let out bold words, claiming that he would make the "River God" come and go.

But in the end he was not the 'River God' opponent and was injured.

"..."

She looked suspicious, Lu Zhi looked at her expression, and also remembered the past.

"Hmph!" A sense of dissatisfaction with being underestimated by her arose in his heart, he put his arms on the coffin strings, kicked his feet, and his body jumped into the coffin like a light bird.

"what……"

Amidst Yao Shouning's exclamation, he had already entered the sarcophagus, and the snake sloughs were trampled flat, making the sound of "squeaking".

　Two more in one ha~~~
