Origin
Chapter 216 Iron Coffin
? At present, the pursuers were quickly encircling the place from all directions. Wu Di didn't bother to ask any more questions and followed Wu Zhongyuan running eastward from the forest.
After a while, Wu Zhongyuan stopped next to a mound and pushed aside a cluster of shrubs on the right side of the mound, revealing a hole about two feet wide.
"Get in quickly." Wu Zhongyuan looked at Wu Di.
"What is this place?" Wu Di was worried and confused.
"I don't know either, it should be a grave." Wu Zhongyuan said.
"Should you? You've never been in?" Wu Di asked.
"No, it's too late, get in quickly." Wu Zhongyuan urged urgently.
At the critical moment, there was not much time for Wu Di to hesitate, so he had to bend down and get into the hole. The tunnel was narrow, and although he could go in, it was not easy to move forward.
"Be careful, there should be a lot of space down there, don't fall." Wu Zhongyuan reminded.
Wu Di responded.
"There shouldn't be any big snakes inside, and if there are, they will be small ones." Wu Zhongyuan reminded again.
This time Wu Di didn't answer. He didn't say it earlier. He only said it after getting in. The tunnel was so narrow that there was no way to get out. No matter what was in front of him, he could only crawl forward.
After thinking anxiously, Wu Zhongyuan also got in. The target of the Niu Clan was Wu Di, not him. There was little point in him staying outside and he would not be able to divert the enemy's attention.
He had used branches to test the length of the passage before. The passage was not long. When he got in, Wu Di was no longer in the passage.
"It's about ten feet above the ground." Wu Di's voice came from below.
Wu Zhongyuan was crawling forward and did not answer. Wu Di's voice was mixed with echoes, indicating that there was indeed a large space below.
After a while, Wu Zhongyuan fell from the passage. For the warrior, the height of three meters was nothing. When he fell, he adjusted his body shape and landed smoothly.
Even if you have night vision, it will take some time to get used to it when you suddenly enter a dark area from a brightly lit place.
After closing his eyes for two seconds, he opened them again and saw the surrounding scenery clearly.
The space where the two of them are currently located is about four to five hundred square meters, which is quite large for a tomb.
The entire tomb is made of bluestone, including the floor and dome.
There was a black coffin in the tomb, which was much larger than an ordinary coffin. There was a black chain connecting the coffin at each of the four upper corners of the tomb, hanging the coffin in the air.
There was only this coffin in the huge tomb, and there were no other burial objects. There are some fine bones scattered throughout the tomb. They don't look like human bones, but they should be the bones of small animals.
While Wu Zhongyuan was observing the environment, Wu Di was also doing the same thing. At this time, she was looking at a hole on the left side of the tomb. Several pieces of bluestone had been dug out, and a lot of soil was piled nearby. .
After looking around, Wu Zhongyuan stepped towards the left side of the tomb.
Wu Di hurriedly reached out and grabbed him, "It smells fishy, so be careful."
"It's okay," Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "This place was originally occupied by a red-crowned snake, but that red-crowned snake has been captured by me."
Wu Zhongyuan walked to the left side of the tomb chamber and tilted his head to look at the hole. The diameter of this hole was more than seventy centimeters, which was similar to the width of the tunnel above. However, this tunnel was not long. Only two or three meters were dug into it. There is a huge pangolin corpse at the end. This pangolin has been dead for a long time. Because the tomb is very dry, its corpse is in a mummified state.
"It dug the passage above," Wu Zhongyuan pointed at the pangolin body and said to Wu Di, "It couldn't climb up after it fell down, so it had to dig another passage, but there was no food or water here. It finally Trapped to death here.”
"What's going on with the red-crowned snake?" Wu Di asked.
"Forefathers planted trees and others will enjoy the shade," Wu Zhongyuan said. "The red-crowned snake that was entrenched here before was nearly two feet long and could come and go freely. Cat Dong chose this place because it was probably very warm."
Even if Wu Zhongyuan didn't say anything, Wu Di had already discovered the abnormal temperature here. He pointed at the black coffin hanging in the air, "The heat here seems to be coming from that coffin."
Just as Wu Zhongyuan was about to answer the call, he suddenly heard a faint sound coming from above. Hearing the sound, he thought it was like a wild animal running over from above.
Wu Zhongyuan made a silent gesture to Wu Di, and then looked intently at the hole above the tomb. At this time, there was an extremely weak light in the hole. This was the light from outside coming in through the gaps in the branches and leaves of the shrubs. If the light happened Change means someone has touched the bush outside.
There is no second exit here. Once discovered, you will have no choice but to be captured.
The most dangerous thing is the first ten minutes. If someone had discovered that the two of them had come to this area before, they would have been able to find them very quickly. If no one comes after this period of time, it will be considered as passing through the first wave of danger. The reason why it is called the first wave of danger is because the enemy guesses that they may not have escaped and will attack them next. Conduct a more detailed search of the area.
After waiting anxiously and nervously for a long time, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief when they saw no change in the light at the entrance of the cave and no unusual noises around them.
Wu Di walked to the west side of the tomb to look at the passage.
"It's useless," Wu Zhongyuan sat leaning against the wall, "We are not pangolins, we can't dig through it."
"You can hide people here." Wu Di said.
Wu Zhongyuan shook his head and said, "It's useless. We can't restore the stone wall to a perfect fit. If they find this place, they will definitely find clues."
Hearing Wu Zhongyuan's words, Wu Di was discouraged, turned around, walked back, and sat down next to him.
Wu Zhongyuan still had the leftover maji that he had eaten before, so he took out one, wiped it on his sleeve, and handed it to Wu Di.
Wu Di shook his head.
"It's okay, don't worry." Wu Zhongyuan comforted.
"It was me who got you into trouble." Wu Di blamed herself.
"Don't be depressed, it won't be too late to wait until I'm caught and beheaded." Wu Zhongyuan said with a smile, and then delivered it again.
Wu Di tilted her head and looked at Wu Zhongyuan, and Wu Zhongyuan took the opportunity to stuff the maji into her hand.
The two of them were exhausted after running all night. The tomb was dry and warm. After the tension subsided, both of them were a little sleepy. At first they were still struggling to hold on, but then their sleepiness increased and they fell asleep one after another.
When Wu Zhongyuan woke up, he found that Wu Di had already woken up and was standing in the middle of the tomb looking at the coffin hanging in the air.
"Don't stand down there. What if the chain breaks and hits you." Wu Zhongyuan yawned.
"No, these iron chains are not rusted." Wu Di said.
"Why are you looking at it?" Wu Zhongyuan asked casually.
"Have you ever thought about why it gets hot?" Wu Di asked.
Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer the call. He was so nervous before that he didn't really think about why the coffin was hot.
"This is an iron coffin," Wu Di said. "Iron is evil gold and can block Yin and Yang. There must be something sealed inside."
Everyone has curiosity. After hearing Wu Di's words, Wu Zhongyuan also became curious about the coffin. He stood up and walked over to look up.
"What do you think will be in here?" Wu Di asked.
"Perhaps it's a zombie," Wu Zhongyuan raised his hand and pointed. "The iron blocks Yin and Yang and can block the corpse's energy. It was also hung in the air to prevent the contents of the iron coffin from feeling the earth's energy after it rusted."
"Zombies are vaginal creatures, how can they generate heat?" Wu Di was doubtful.
"Maybe it's a drought demon." Wu Zhongyuan guessed, "As the saying goes, the drought demon is the yin in the yin, and the yin pole must be yang. According to legend, this thing can travel thousands of miles across the ground, and it is normal for the iron coffin to heat up."
Wu Di didn't think Wu Zhongyuan's judgment was correct, but for a while he couldn't think of any reason to refute him.
Wu Zhongyuan was a little anxious and went to the corner to urinate. When he tied the waist rope, Wu Di said, "Have you ever thought that if it was really a drought demon, why those who controlled it didn't kill it, but sealed it in this?"
Wu Zhongyuan was speechless. He really hadn't thought about this problem.
“This tomb is very old,” Wu Di pointed to the pieces of bluestone dug out by the pangolin. “Look at these stones, they are very neat in size and shape. The entire tomb is made of these stones. Only the royal family and nobles can build such a tomb."
"This should be the territory of the Bear Clan, maybe..." Wu Zhongyuan stopped talking midway through. He wanted to say that maybe a member of the royal family had turned into a drought demon, and everyone could not kill him. After sealing it, it suddenly occurred to me that the Drought Demon would have to be buried underground for at least hundreds of years before it could take shape. It was definitely not what I had guessed.
"Forget it, let's stop guessing and open it and take a look." Wu Zhongyuan said.
"Don't be reckless, be cautious." Wu Di waved his hands repeatedly.
"You don't want to know what's inside?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
Wu Di didn't answer.
Wu Zhongyuan jumped up and jumped onto the coffin.
"Hey." Wu Di looked up nervously.
Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand to Wu Di, telling her not to be nervous, and then reached out to touch the iron coffin. It was very warm, but not hot.
Looking around the iron coffin, there are no patterns on the iron coffin, and the coffin lid and body are not fused together.
Everyone has curiosity, and Wu Zhongyuan is no exception. At this time, he also became very curious about the contents of the coffin. Although the coffin was heavy, it shouldn't be very difficult to lift the lid.
To be cautious, he did not immediately try to open the coffin lid, but hung on to two ropes to swing the iron coffin.
The iron coffin was hung in the air. As he continued to increase the force, the shaking became larger and larger. In addition to the creaking of the iron chains, there seemed to be the sound of metal rubbing against metal inside the coffin.
Lying on the coffin and listening carefully, it is indeed the sound produced by the friction of metal against metal.
"There seems to be no living things inside." Wu Zhongyuan said to Wu Di.
"What is that?" Wu Di was also very curious.
When the coffin stopped shaking, Wu Zhongyuan grabbed the iron chain with one hand and tried to lift it with the other hand, but he had nowhere to use force in mid-air, so he could only lift it but could not move it.
Seeing this situation, Wu Di got angry and jumped up to help.
"Be careful. Move to a gap first to check the situation. If you find anything wrong, run away." Wu Zhongyuan pointed to the hole above.
Wu Di nodded.
The two of them moved to the left and right and used force at the same time to finally lift the lid of the coffin and move it an inch to the left.
The gap was on Wu Zhongyuan's side, and Wu Zhongyuan took the lead in tilting his head to look at the things in the coffin.
"What's inside?" Wu Di was nervous and curious.
"It seems like a dragon made of iron." Wu Zhongyuan said casually.
After hearing Wu Zhongyuan's words, Wu Di carefully moved over and tilted his head to look through the gap. At first, he looked confused, but after a moment, he suddenly took a breath, thinking that he thought of something.
"Do you recognize this thing?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
"I've never seen it before. I've only heard legends about this thing." Wu Di said with a trill.
"What legend?" Wu Zhongyuan asked eagerly.
"During the prehistoric period, the universe was in chaos and the six paths were indistinguishable. Fuxi and Nuwa pacified it..."
"Don't go that far, just tell me what it is." Wu Zhongyuan interrupted Wu Di.
Wu Di said, "In order for the three tribes to restrain each other and coexist peacefully, Fuxi and Nuwa gave gifts to each of the three tribes. What she left to the Bear tribe was the Huanglong Technique, which is the magic practiced by wizards and royals, and she left it to the Ox tribe. What is left is a White Dragon Pill. According to legend, as long as you hold this White Dragon Pill, you can transform into a giant dragon. What is left to the Bird Clan is a set of indestructible Azure Dragon Armor."
"Blue Dragon Armor?" Wu Zhongyuan tilted his head and looked at the thing in the coffin, "This is not blue either. What is so magical about this thing?"
"The Azure Dragon Protector, it is said that as long as you wear the Azure Dragon Armor, you will have an immortal golden body..."
