Chen Lili: "Then how did he die? Did he starve to death?"
Fatty: "Definitely not! If he died of starvation, there would be no candle left behind, and the flame on the candle could not have burned for so long. I am more inclined to believe that he was poisoned."
Chen Ze: "I agree with Fatty's statement. Don't you think the atmosphere in this tomb is very weird?"
Everyone groaned, "It seems to be true. The tomb owner died in this secret room, and was bitten to death by a poisonous snake. But we didn't encounter any poisonous snakes after we came in!"
Zhang Qiling picked up the jade pendant that Chen Ze had just taken off and examined it carefully. "There is something wrong with this jade pendant."
"What's the problem?" Chen Ze asked.
"I once read a travelogue that mentioned a legend. It said that when Huangdi conquered Chiyou in the battle, Chiyou used a poison called Gu. It is said that if you eat Gu, your whole body will fester and you will die." Zhang Qiling said.
"Did anyone believe it at that time?" Chen Ze asked.
"Some people believe it, but I think it's probably fake." Zhang Qiling shook his head, obviously not quite believing it.
Chen Ze: "For this kind of thing, it's better to kill the wrong person than to let him go. Look at the environment here. If this is true, then he must have been bewitched, which is why the body has rotted!"
Zhang Qiling frowned and thought about what Chen Ze said. He also suspected that the jade pendant was poisoned.
Fatty: "Should we destroy this thing?"
Zhang Qiling shook his head. "Don't destroy it. Since it is the Gu mentioned in the ancient books, it is valuable."
Chen Lili: "Brother Zhang, you don't like this kind of thing, do you?"
When Chen Lili saw that Zhang Qiling was interested in this jade pendant, she couldn't help but complain.
Zhang Qiling: "Haha, you think too much."
Chen Lili curled her lips to show her disdain.
Zhang Qiling continued to flip through the books.
The fat man looked at the ancient coffin and couldn't help rubbing his hands: "Hey, we are going to get rich tonight!"
Chen Ze: "Get lost!"
Several hours passed and no one found anything.
"You guys go and rest first, and we'll continue looking for clues when I wake up." Zhang Qiling suggested.
A few people nodded in agreement, ate something casually, and went back to their rooms to sleep.
Zhang Qiling lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
He was thinking, if his guess was correct, there was indeed poison made by ancient witch doctors in the tomb, then this poison should be a chronic toxin that needs to accumulate slowly before it explodes.
Judging from what Chen Ze just said, there should be no poisonous insects found in the tomb, which means that those poisonous insects should be trapped somewhere and dare not show their heads easily.
As long as I can find their location, I can find a solution. Moreover, this cave is very deep, and I can completely avoid the poisonous insects. I just don’t know if I can reach the bottom successfully.
Zhang Qiling planned to familiarize himself with the structure of the tomb first, and then think of a way, because Zhang Qiling knew that this place was very dangerous and he would be caught if he was not careful.
Zhang Qiling took out a compass from his backpack, then walked to the sarcophagus and began to observe it.
Zhang Qiling took out a candle and lit the floor near the sarcophagus.
The color of the stone slabs is gray-black, while the floor of the sarcophagus is a light pink, which at first glance looks like blood-soaked soil, and this color gives people a very uncomfortable feeling.
Zhang Qiling used the candle to tentatively blow a breath into the sarcophagus, and then Zhang Qiling was surprised to find that the breath was sucked into the sarcophagus by a suction force when it was about ten centimeters away from the sarcophagus.
"Hiss~!" The fat man took a breath of cold air.
"There's something in here, so weird?" Chen Lili was also shocked.
The fat man swallowed his saliva and said, "I heard from my dad that there are zongzi in the ancient tomb!"
Chen Ze: "Don't talk nonsense, there are no ghosts in this world."
Chen Lili: "We are in a haunted house now, and we are experiencing the horror of this world." Zhang Qiling looked at the flame on the candle. The flame was still very stable, which means that the candle flame can still burn for hundreds of years.
Zhang Qiling: "I feel the candle can last another ten years. We can continue to look for clues."
Chen Ze: "Let's put out the candles first!"
Zhang Qiling: “Yeah!”
Everyone worked together to put out the candle flame, and then began to check other things.
Chen Ze walked to the corner and touched the pattern on the wall, "Look here!"
Everyone gathered around. There was a painting here, a portrait of a woman.
The woman in the painting is lifelike, as if she were alive, which makes people feel a little creepy, but the woman in the painting is wearing ancient clothes.
Chen Ze pointed at the dress of the woman in the painting and said, "Look at what dress she is wearing?"
Chen Lili: "Clothes from the Han Dynasty."
Fatty: “I feel something is wrong.”
Chen Ze: "What's wrong? I think it's very beautiful."
Fatty: "What do you know? That's a style from the Republic of China period, and the clothes people wore at that time were all tattered. How could they be as luxurious as this painting?"
Zhang Qiling: "This is the clothing of the Song Dynasty. The culture here is quite complex. Look carefully, there are written records here, describing the story of Nuwa repairing the sky!"
Zhang Qiling dipped his fingers in the candle oil and smeared it on the ground.
When they got closer, they found a passage written on the ground, which roughly meant: A woman suffered in the human world for a thousand years, and finally became the Virgin Mary. She descended to the human world on the third night, turning the earth into a fairyland. Then the woman left the human world, leaving behind a grave.
Zhang Qiling: "The family name of the owner of this tomb is Song."
"Then who is the owner of this tomb?" Chen Lili suddenly had an idea.
Zhang Qiling: "I don't know. This world is too big. There are people with different names in every city. Maybe this is a famous person in history!"
Chen Ze: "Okay, stop discussing this. Let's pack up and prepare to retreat. This place is becoming more and more dangerous."
"Retreat?" Everyone didn't understand what Chen Ze meant.
Zhang Qiling: "I have a feeling we might be in trouble this time."
Upon hearing this, everyone stood up and prepared to leave.
"Boss, aren't you going to take this sarcophagus with you?" asked Chen Lili.
Zhang Qiling smiled and said, "No need. This sarcophagus is already a dead object. There is no need for us to waste time on it."
Chen Ze nodded, "Okay then, let's go out first."
Zhang Qiling: "Let's go!"
Chen Ze and others left the ancient tomb.
It was already dawn outside. Everyone gathered in an open area outside the cave and began to look for a way out.
Fatty and Yao Xin were responsible for digging the ventilation vents, while Chen Ze was responsible for examining the surrounding traces.
After checking several pits, Chen Ze found traces of digging on the walls of the pits, and his face changed slightly.
Zhang Qiling, Fatty, Chen Lili and Fatty's two teammates were inspecting a tomb, and Chen Ze also joined the team.
This is a tomb chamber similar to a crypt.
The tomb chamber is divided into four areas: the front hall, the bedroom, the library, and the warehouse for storing grain. (End of this chapter)
