Zhentian coffin

On the seventh day after arriving at the edge of Sichuan and Guizhou, Xie Changming finally discovered the ancient tomb that he had visited before. We set up camp nearby, and then the master and apprentice pair conducted a survey.

Xie Changming told us that it was a coincidence to go in before, and the tomb passage has collapsed in many places.

Moreover, the robbed hole had to be very big, not only for one person to pass through, but because the goal of this trip was the mysterious bronze celestial coffin, which had to be taken out, so the robbed hole was too big.

In order to cover up its tracks, we found a cave nearby. The cave was huge, but the distance to rob the cave was tens of meters longer, and the amount of work involved was enormous.

The pair of masters and apprentices planned the route, and then they dug the soil. The whole process was done manually, and there were no other tools except sharp shovels and shovels.

So we dead soldiers and the master and apprentice became the labor force. Several people worked together day and night, digging holes like moles. Even with so many strong men like us, it took five full days of digging to completely open up the robbery hole, and the mud dug out almost filled a valley.

And I also began to admire the pair of master and apprentice. These two people are really capable. The burglary is directly leading to the tomb, avoiding many switches. They are not ordinary people. Of course, since they showed their faces in front of me, they can only eat free meals in the future.

The method of measuring oxygen with pigeons and roosters has long been outdated. The master and apprentice got a blower and blew air into it for a day, and then tested it with an instrument, and there was no problem with the air.

Afterwards, we started to enter the tomb passage, except for one person to guard the wind, we all went in, the master and apprentice were the first, then the rest of the dead men, and then Yunxuan and I.

In fact, with Xie Changming's ability, if he went in, he couldn't stop him at all, but Xie Changming didn't move, and Yun Xuan didn't ask this question either. They had to let the master and apprentice work together.

In the underground palace under the tomb, it was very dark. The master and the apprentice kept lighting candles along the way, but this is not the kind of novel that touches Captain Jin when the light goes out. This kind of candle is specially made. If there are any ghosts The color of the flame will change when someone breaks in, which serves as a warning to them.

"Mr. Yun, the date of this tomb is the end of Qin Dynasty at the latest, and it will not exceed the Spring and Autumn Period at the earliest. It is not the so-called Xingtian tomb."

After walking for a while, the master and apprentice came over with some funerary objects, and then analyzed the funerary objects for a while, telling us that this tomb is not what Yunxuan said, but a tomb from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods.

Of course, the tombs of this era are also extraordinary, and they are treasures if you just get something out, but it still disappoints them. Except for the bronze sky coffin, everything inside belongs to them.

If according to what Yunxuan said, this is the so-called Xingtian Tomb, that would be terrible, it might have been built before Zhou, and it wouldn't be a matter of treasure if it was found casually, at least it would be at the national treasure level.

"Could it be the tomb of the ancient Shu Kingdom?"

"The meeting is also normal. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, this place was the territory of the ancient Shu Kingdom. Until it was notified by the Qin Kingdom, that period of history was very pale and simple."

"I said it was Xing Tian's tomb, not necessarily the tomb erected when Xing Tian died. You don't understand the mystery of it, and you don't need to understand it. Just take the bronze coffin away."

Xie Changming said mysteriously that Xingtian's era was still thousands of years away from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period. Naturally, this could not be a tomb built in Xingtian's era, but it didn't matter, all he wanted was the bronze sky coffin.

"Mr. Yun, look at this..."

"It's business as usual. We only need the bronze coffin, and the rest is yours. Why, the tombs of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States can't satisfy you?"

"no no···"

The master's face changed, and he quickly replied, this tomb is enough, if you really take a few valuables out and sell them, you will get a huge sum of money, and you will definitely not lose money, if you can move more, you will make a lot of money.

However, he was also thinking about what was in the bronze coffin that was worth such a big fight, not even other funeral objects.

A group of people passed through many traps. Of course, most of the traps had failed. In fact, they did not encounter any danger. They soon arrived at the main tomb. The top of the tomb looks like a starry sky, with a high platform in the middle, like a small pyramid, but the tip of the tower is flattened, and a huge bronze coffin is placed on it.

The bronze coffin looked pitch black, like a huge boulder, more than three meters long and two meters wide. It was not clear whether there was a coffin or an inner coffin, and the coffin and outer coffin were completely different things.

The master and apprentice told us not to move rashly, they quickly lit candles around, and soon, there was a faint light in the main tomb, and they also quickly found that there were murals on the tomb wall.

There are many murals in ancient times, mainly to record the scene at that time, and the murals in the tomb will even paint some past events in the life of the tomb owner.

A group of people went to record, because with the entry of oxygen, the color of the mural is fading rapidly, I can't help but feel a little distressed, this great treasure will be destroyed like this.

Soon, under the speculation of a group of people, the content of the mural was deciphered. According to the mural, this is not an ancient tomb at all, but an altar.

Yes, it is an altar. It is written on it that during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, the ancient Shu had domestic and foreign troubles. war.

At that time, the ancient Shu Kingdom was relatively peaceful, while the rest of the Central Plains countries had frequent wars. It was precisely because of the frequent wars that their troops were extremely powerful. On the contrary, the Shu Kingdom had extremely weak military strength.

Later, with the passage of time, both the Qin State in the north and the Chu State in the east had the intention of destroying the Shu State, just to occupy this strategic commanding height.

History proves that the ancient Shu State was destroyed by the Qin State, and it was only after the Qin State gained the Shu State that it stabilized the rear area and continuously obtained food and soldiers, which played a great role in the unification war of the Qin State. Especially after Li Bing dealt with the floods.

Of course, this is something for later, it has nothing to do with this place, and this altar was built when the ancient Shu Kingdom fell. The ancient Shu Kingdom only knew that they could not resist the invasion of the Qin Kingdom, so they pinned their hopes on the gods.

They heard the legend of the ancestors of the Miao people and decided to build an altar to resurrect Xingtian God of War to help them resist the invasion of Qin, so this altar appeared.

However, before the altar was completed, the Kingdom of Shu perished. However, the transportation in the southwest region in ancient times was extremely inconvenient. Although the land of Shu was occupied by the Qin army, it was still the territory of the ancient Kingdom of Shu. This altar became their only hope. So they gave all their strength to build this altar.

However, people are not as good as heaven. Their behavior was discovered by the Qin army, and they were destroyed by the Qin army before they could offer sacrifices to the resurrected Xingtian. The remaining people closed the passage of this altar and prepared to make a comeback. However, in the next few decades, The state of Qin became stronger and stronger, and even swept across the six countries, making the remaining power of the ancient Shu state feel hopeless. When the insider died, no one would know about it anymore.

"I said why this tomb passage is a bit strange. It turned out to be an altar, but it was just concealed in the form of a tomb."

Master Tufuzi said to himself, with his professional level, he knew that this tomb was unusual, but he didn't expect it to be so.

"Thank you fellow daoist, is there any danger in moving away from the bronze coffin?"

"meeting"

"what danger"

Yun Xuan immediately held his breath, this tomb was abnormal, he didn't know what danger it might bring, and the rest of the people immediately cheered up, this was a matter of their lives.

"This entire altar is a huge witch formation. A specific spell is required to activate the resurrection ceremony, otherwise it will be considered an intruder, and there is something in the bronze coffin."

"what"

"You will know when you open it"

"This···"

"Could it be that Mr. Cheng Yun wants to back down now?"

"I would rather die than retreat"

"That's good, let's do it, open the coffin, and kill the guys inside first."

Xie Changming waved his hand and said, the bronze coffin is right in front of him, it is impossible to go back, he is a little excited, the eight treasures are already in place, as long as he gets the bronze coffin and arrests Liu Jinyang, then everything will be settled.

"Open, you go"

"This, Mr. Yun, this is not within the scope of our agreement"

"Either open the coffin or die, choose one"

"You want to betray?"

"This is not betrayal, it's cooperation. You are responsible for opening the coffin. We will take care of the rest. After the matter is completed, the rest of the funerary objects here will still be yours. The ancients attached great importance to sacrifices. It is very grand and there will be many treasures. Even if you don’t have one, those bronze tripods are enough for you to make a fortune, you choose.”

Yunxuan pointed to the surrounding bronze wares. The ancients believed that the prosperity of a country lies in force and sacrifices, so there are major national events. In the saying of Zai Rong Sacrifice, every sacrifice is extremely grand, and there are many kinds of utensils. But they are all bronze wares, and releasing them would be an extremely huge fortune, not to mention that this altar is related to the ancient Shu Kingdom.

There are only a few insignificant records in the history books of the ancient Shu Kingdom. If these things are taken out, it will shock the historians. I don’t know how many people will rush to ask for them.

The face of the pair of master and apprentice changed drastically. Yun Xuan was making an inch. He turned his face too quickly, but they didn't dare to disobey when they saw the people around them who were staring at them. It's just cannon fodder, so they can only accept it.

"Several of you, follow along to help"

Yun Xuan pointed again casually, and called a few of his own people, and among these people, I was there. Looking at Yun Xuan's sneering face, I took a deep breath, and I couldn't escape the one who should come.
