City Marshal

There was light shining from inside, with a strong musty smell.

After a long time, when the bad smell had dissipated, Chu Tian led Fang Qing and the others to surround them. There was actually a stone staircase under this door, and the flickering lights kept jumping under it. Zuo Qing and Zuo Lan didn't Without pausing at all, he stepped down the stone steps regardless of the danger.

Chu Tian followed them into it, which seemed to be a basement.

On the vaulted ceiling in the room, Chu Tian was also surprised to find that a bright lamp was casting a faint light, and there were also lamps shining in the niches on the surrounding walls. The lamps were covered by exquisite covers, and the whole basement was like As it was daytime, Brother Shuaijun looked around curiously.

Fang Qing shouted excitedly: "These lights are ever-burning lights!"

Zuo Qing and Zuo Lan changed their colors slightly, and a trace of fear flashed in their eyes. Eternal lanterns are the last thing grave robbers want to see. It is said that grave robbers who encounter an ever-burning lantern will receive the most vicious curse. The mystery of the ever-burning lantern has been passed down to this day, and no one is There is actual evidence to solve the mystery.

Some tomb robbers try their best to steal gold, silver and jewelry from the ancient tombs. Because the ancient tombs are often isolated from the outside world, the treasures have been preserved quite well after thousands of years. It should be invisible inside.

But sometimes they are horrified to find that in some ancient tombs, an ever-burning lamp is casting a faint light, and those who have encountered these ever-burning lamps, whether it is an accident or fate, will die within three years. Escape the fate of this time.

Chu Tian knew little about archaeology, so he didn't understand why they were shocked.

It's just a lamp, there's nothing to make a fuss about, but after he thought about it carefully, he realized that the lamp was strange. The door was sealed with a spell, and it was impossible for ordinary people to come in, and when they came in, , these lamps have been lit long ago, who lit them? "Oh my god! Look, this stone wall has been charred!"

To Chutian's surprise, Fang Qing looked at the dark stone wall with many fine holes above the ever-bright lamp, and screamed in shock, and when the Shuaijun brothers looked at each other with strange expressions, she uttered two sentences: "These lamps are always on. Burning continuously, at least half a century!"

At least half a century, possibly a hundred years.

In short, without more than 50 years of effort, with the heat of this eternal lamp, it is impossible to smoke the stones on the wall, and what is even more amazing is that this everlasting lamp does not need any fuel, and it has been quietly lit for at least 50 years. It's really puzzling.

Chu Tian smiled wryly and said, "Could it be that this is the fire from the Flame Mountain?" Journey to the West once told that when Monkey King passed by the Flame Mountain, the fire from the Flame Mountain was helpless even Lei Gong, Lei Po, and the God of Rain and Wind. I was afraid of the strangeness of the ever-burning lantern, but after hearing Chu Tian's joke, I became more relaxed, and the atmosphere was not so heavy.

Chu Tian counted carefully, and there were as many as seven ever-burning lamps in this basement.

Chu Tian took a step forward and wanted to take a lamp to have a look. Zuo Qing and Zuo Lanyan quickly grabbed her. They who had been silent since they came in had wry smiles on their faces, and there was still a hint of fear between their brows. Some curses of the ever-bright lamp told Chu Tian, ​​preventing him from getting the lamp.

Archaeological records show that this phenomenon of ancient temple lights or ancient tomb lights has been found all over the world, such as India, China, Egypt, Greece, South America and many other countries and regions with ancient civilizations, even Italy, Britain, Ireland and France Other places have also appeared.

But what is strange is that all those who have touched the ever-burning lamp with their own hands either died accidentally, were seriously ill or died suddenly. Tuo black water, this black water is highly corrosive.

If not dealt with in time, the entire head will be corrupted.

This is the reason for the "black curse" about the eternal lamp. How could Zuo Qing and Zuo Lan not know about this kind of spread?Usually they just take it as a joke, a prank, but when they face the same thing themselves, they feel shuddering in their hearts.

"Young commander, don't move!"

"These are minor details, we should look for something valuable!"

Zuo Lan and Zuo Qing shifted their focus to attract Chu Tian's attention, so as not to cause trouble for him to touch the lantern. Chu Tian also knew what they were thinking, so he smiled and replied lightly: "Okay! Let's just stroll here Let's go shopping and see if there is anything priceless!"

Although the tomb is large, it is empty as far as the eye can see.

No need to think too much, there must be an inner room in this tomb, so Chutian asked everyone to disperse and search for it. Not long after, a brother pushed open a stone door, and an unpleasant smell came over his face. He hurriedly shouted for Chutian and others Come here, Zuo Qing was the first to rush over, and shined a flashlight.

Snapped!The flashlight in her hand fell to the ground, and she was stunned.

The handsome soldier brother turned his head to look, also in a daze.

Chutian and the others saw the strangeness of the two of them, so they rushed to the door as quickly as possible. At this time, although there was still a musty smell inside, it was no longer pitch black. The flashlight that Zuo Qing dropped illuminated the entire interior. It is clear at a glance.

"Be good!"

Chu Tian was also stunned: "There are so many treasures!"

Under the scattered light of everyone's flashlights, a dazzling golden light reflected back. Everyone's eyes were dazzled, they held their breaths, and they all opened their mouths wide and couldn't close them. There are countless gold bricks, silver pieces, pearls and gems.

Everyone looked at the gold, silver and jewels, and was speechless for a long time, and the cave was silent for a while.

Chu Tian is not a rich man, his current wealth is enough to smash countless treasures of this scale, but those are just a series of cold numbers, and now there is a pile of real money in front of him, how can he not be shocked ?It can be said that it blinded his dog's eyes.

Zuo Qing and Zuo Lan were also dumbfounded. They had dug many tombs of royal relatives, but they had never seen so many pearls and gemstones. With their professional eyes, they knew that taking out just one thing would be enough for common people. Live a lifetime in peace, not to mention there are thousands of pieces here.

After adapting to the indoor light and adjusting his mentality, Chu Tian discovered the clues of pearls and gems.

Although they are all valuable, they are placed in a mess. The jewels on the surrounding stone shelves are all uneven, as if they were thrown by the placer casually. Chutian also saw two faintly glowing beads scattered in the corner. Apparently those were also pearls that rolled down and were not put back.

If it was really the mausoleum of the emperor's relatives, how could these things be in such a mess?A doubt flashed in Chutian's mind, and then he found a coffin in the middle, made of stone. Just now everyone's eyes were attracted by the pearls and gemstones on the stone shelf, so they selectively ignored the sarcophagus placed in the room, and now they are relieved , Chu Tian was also curious about the inside.

Who is in the coffin?When Chu Tian had thoughts, he also walked over. Fang Qing and the others shouted almost at the same time: "Young commander, be careful!"

Apart from being shocked by the stone at the door, they didn't encounter any dangerous traps along the way, so everyone subconsciously believed that the killing must be at the end.

Almost as soon as the words fell, sharp arrows were shot from the two walls.

Chu Tian flashed Minghong's saber in an instant, twisted his wrist, and all the sharp arrows fell, but before he could retract the saber, there was a loud noise from the wind above his head, and another rain of arrows fell from the sky, carrying a stone slab. He chopped off the fierce and murderous sharp arrow, and then quickly retreated.

As soon as he stood firm, the stone slab hit the ground heavily.

"Lay the net!"

Several handsome army brothers hurriedly pulled out the invulnerable iron net and laid it across in front of the crowd. The next second, the mechanism caused by the stone slab hitting the ground was activated, and countless arrows rained from all directions, left and right, front and back, above the head, on the stone shelf, indoors The arrow net that can't be dodged is crossed, which makes people frightened.

After shooting for 2 minutes, the rain of arrows stopped.

This kind of high-intensity shooting, no matter how good the skill is, it is difficult to avoid it, which shows that the designer is vicious.

Chu Tian glanced at it: My dear, there are thousands of branches, and they are all made of silver. It is estimated that they are worth a lot of money if they are sold.

Zuo Qing and Zuo Lan looked at the iron net in surprise. This kind of thing was specially used by top tomb robbers like them to defend against arrows. How could Chu Tian think of it?They looked at each other and exchanged content.

At this time, Chutian had already swept away the sharp arrows on the ground, strode to the sarcophagus with meteoric strides, tossed twice, and dropped four or five symbolic short arrows to disperse the rising poisonous gas. See what's inside the coffin, there's no dead body, no bones!There is only a coffin full of treasures!Pearls, corals, jasper, agate, emeralds, gemstones, cat's eyes, emeralds, all kinds of treasures, everything that one expects to find, although they are thrown in a mess, but the value of these things still shocked Chutian again.

At this time, Zuo Qing lit a special candle, the flame was steady and dazzling.

The entire tomb was completely brightened, and all kinds of pearls and gemstones also reflected light.

There was something among them that made Chu Tian squint his eyes even more. He reached out his hand curiously to pick it up, and he recognized it after flipping through it. It was a "Quran" made of pure gold, damn it!This thing is valuable, enough to kill half a treasure in seconds.

Leaving aside its historical value, the craftsmanship alone is unique.

Excited, Chu Tian took a deep breath, and smelled the smell of smoke!
