Ghostly Tomb

Chapter 158
Under the faint light of the fire, Chen Zhi saw that this place seemed to be a natural cave. Although it was under the sea, it was not wet.He held up the torch and probed into the cave. It was a very narrow cave with nothing but the rock walls around it. He quickly walked to the end and found a narrow gap in the rock wall ahead. The next person passed by, and the inside was so dark that it didn't know where it led.

At this time, Fat Wei came over, and after the rest just now, the pain on his body has eased.He tightened his belt, squatted down and rolled up his trouser legs.Said: "You stay here to take care of Qin Yueyang, I'll go in and have a look!".

"What do you want to do?" Chen Zhi grabbed Fat Wei and said. "Don't act alone, it's too dangerous here, let's go in together when Qin Yueyang wakes up.",
"Don't worry! If there is danger, I will not go if you force me to go with a knife. Let me tell you, from the perspective of Feng Shui, the location we are now is exactly where the dragon's eyes are in this undersea tomb. Generally, tomb repairers Sometimes, the coffin of the owner of the tomb will be placed in this position. I will go to explore the way first, and if I am lucky, the front may be the main tomb." Fat Wei has already taken out the brass compass in his hand, Chen Zhi saw, The pointer on the compass no longer moved left and right, as if it had returned to normal.

"I'll go with you", Ghost Knife jumped over from behind, took up the long knife, and burrowed into the crevice of the rock wall first, then disappeared in a flash, Fat Wei immediately followed him, and disappeared into the darkness together .

After Chen Zhi watched them leave, he turned his head to look at Qin Yueyang, and saw that Qin Yueyang's brows relaxed a little, he was sleeping soundly, his body was covered with blood-stained clothes, and his face was covered with bloodstains.

Looking at Qin Yueyang's current state, Chen Zhi frowned tightly. The core of their mission this time is to escort Qin Yueyang safely to the main tomb, preserve her magical ability until the end, and unseal the killing stone .If Qin Yueyang was seriously injured and unable to cast spells, then it would be meaningless to find the main tomb, and their mission this time was a complete failure.

If the seal cannot be lifted, they will be trapped in this enchantment and will never be able to get out.

At this time, Pang Wei came back from the same way alone, with a very complicated expression on his face, he looked at Chen Zhi meaningfully and said: "Cheng Zi, come with me, there are big dishes here."

"Da Cai" is a slang word in the tomb robbery industry. Chen Zhi heard from Pang Wei before that in general tombs, there will only be one owner of the tomb, especially in imperial tombs. , can only be placed in the ear chamber.

If you enter the main tomb and see more than one coffin, it is called "cai". If there are more than five coffins, it is called a big dish.Big dishes are very rare in mausoleums.The general "dishes" are the joint burial of husband and wife.

Fat Wei once said that he entered a mausoleum of the emperor's son in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and there were five small coffins arranged side by side.After opening, the coffin was full of dead babies who hadn't yet left the moon. It was later discovered that these were quintuplets. It is estimated that the medical conditions were poor at that time, and the quintuplets could not be born, and they were buried together after dystocia.At that time, it was called "big dish".A rush of emerald green and translucent emerald green grapes was found in this "big dish".

Chen Zhi wondered, how could there be more than five coffins in Bai Qian's main tomb, could it be that they were disassembled and packed separately?Thinking wildly in his mind, he followed Pang Wei and squeezed into the crevice of the rock wall.

The passage in this rock wall is very long, and it becomes narrower and narrower as he walks. Chen Zhi feels suffocated at the end.However, at the exit of this long and narrow path, a very large natural cave appeared.

This cave is dozens of times larger than the cave just now, at least 2000 square meters. It is connected with the small cave just now through the gap in the rock wall, showing the shape of an upside-down gourd.

Pang Wei had lit a few torches on the wall of the cave before, and now he could see the whole cave in the light of the fire.Ghost Knife was holding a knife, standing at the entrance of the cave.

Seeing Chen Zhi coming in, Ghost Saber didn't speak, but turned to look deep into the cave.

Chen Zhi looked forward, there were no artificial carvings in this cave, and there were natural forms everywhere.However, around the middle of the cave, there are more than a hundred coffins neatly placed.It is densely packed, and it is quite spectacular from a distance.

All the coffins are made of wood. Although the materials are not clear, it can be seen that the quality of the wood is very good. The wood is mellow and shiny. After such a long time, there is no sign of decay.But the workmanship of the coffin is very simple, there are no patterns drawn on it, not even colored paint.

These coffins are arranged neatly in one direction around the middle of the cave, and stone platforms are placed under the coffins to prevent them from being corroded by stagnant water.In the middle of the cave, there is an open space, on which a large stone is placed. The skin of the stone is burnt yellow, and there are many horizontal stone marks on it, revealing many transparent spots, and the precious light inside is shining.

Chen Zhi recognized at a glance that it was a huge rough diamond.On the top of this diamond rough stone, there are two large characters sealed with black lacquer, "Soul Soul".

The flames burning on the walls covered the coffins with a faint orange-yellow image, making the cave look even more eerie and strange.

Chen Zhi reached out and took down a burning torch from the wall, and walked towards the coffins.He circled around and counted the number of these coffins, a total of one hundred and one.

He squatted down slowly, carefully looked at the coffin closest to him, and touched the edge of the coffin with his hands.

Chen Zhi found that the wood of these coffins is really good. The top-grade fish-scale spruce is used. This kind of wood unique to Japan is produced in a small amount and has a high density. Not bad, very precious.In ancient Japan, only the tombs of the royal family could be used.

But these wooden coffins are different from the burial rituals of the ancient Japanese.The coffin is very simple, without any painted paint, let alone painted patterns, which was rare in ancient Japan.It seems that all the coffins here were rushed out within a certain time limit.

When Chen Zhi took a closer look, he discovered that on the side wall of the coffin, there was a row of deeply engraved characters. The brushwork of those characters was very exquisite, and the strokes were vigorous and powerful. It was definitely the handwriting of a calligraphy master.Moreover, these words were carefully engraved on long strips of white stone, and then embedded into the side walls of the coffin, and the seams were poured with silver water. There was no overflow at the edges, and the details were handled meticulously.It can be seen that when writing and engraving these names, the craftsmen have a heart of reverence and caution.

Chen Zhi carefully identified these characters, which were all the surnames of some Japanese.Some surnames are so thunderous that they are big families that have turned upside down in Japanese history, and they can often be heard even in the current international news.
