Everyone present knew.
Zhang Qi Ling wasn’t the kind of person who would joke.
As everyone was puzzled.
A Ning said: “Wu San Xing mentioned in the information he gave me that there are multiple levels to the ear chambers here. They rise and fall with the tide of the sea. So every certain amount of time, different ear chambers will alternate with the passage outside.”
If that were the case.
The ear chamber they had just entered from the tomb passage through the mechanism wasn’t the same one as Zhang Qi Ling’s.
And that was also the reason why.
They hadn’t seen Zhang Qi Ling’s shadow in the first place.
“This kind of coffin only appears in the ear chambers, so the tomb owner’s coffin must be really impressive.”
“Magnificent!”
Wang Pang Zi greedily looked at the golden nanmu coffin in front of him.
Zhang Qi Ling held up his flashlight, carefully observed the coffin, and then took off the black gold ancient sword from behind him.
“Fatty, light the candle.”
Lin Chuan commanded.
“Got it!”
“We’ve been at it for so long, finally it’s time to get down to business.”
“Little Sister, help me find the southeast corner.”
Wang Pang Zi excitedly took out a large red candle from his bag.
Yang Yi took out a palm-sized compass, searched for a while, and pointed out a direction to Wang Pang Zi.
Lin Chuan remembered that the coffin should contain the twelve-handed female corpse.
But the strange changes that happened in the Lu Wang Palace reminded him that he still had to be cautious.
“Tian Zhen, stay away from the coffin.”
Lin Chuan said.
Wu Xie asked with bewilderment: “What’s wrong? Is there a zombie inside?”
Lin Chuan looked at him deeply: “I’m not sure if there’s a zombie, but if you open the coffin, it will definitely rise!”
“Lin Xiao Ge, you… ”
Wu Xie was speechless for a moment, but he still backed away.
Hearing that.
A Ning and Yang Yi couldn’t help but chuckle.
It lessened the eerie atmosphere.
Southeast corner.
Just as Wang Pang Zi lit the candle, he suddenly discovered a cat’s skeleton.
Appearing in front of the candlelight.
“Whoa!!”
Seeing this, Wang Pang Zi was so startled that he leaned back and fell to the ground.
Wu Xie asked: “Fatty, what’s wrong?”
Wang Pang Zi rubbed his eyes, but the cat’s skeleton was gone.
“There was a cat zombie here just now!”
Wu Xie laughed: “You must be seeing things. Where would there be cats in the sea?”
Wang Pang Zi also thought he was seeing things.
But.
Lin Chuan heard these words clearly.
A cat appearing by the coffin was not a good omen.
He glanced at the candlelight in the southeast corner again.
It was flickering slightly.
And Zhang Qi Ling’s black gold ancient sword had already been inserted into the crack of the stone coffin.
“All of you, move back.”
Lin Chuan reminded them, then gave Zhang Qi Ling a look.
Zhang Qi Ling nodded.
His hand holding the black gold ancient sword suddenly exerted force.
Boom!
The heavy golden nanmu coffin lid was lifted, and as it slid to the side, it made a dull sound.
A foul odor instantly emanated and permeated the air.
Everyone instinctively covered their noses.
It was at this moment that Lin Chuan keenly noticed that the candlelight in the southeast corner flickered violently.
“Ugh… this corpse fluid is all human fat.”
Wang Pang Zi rushed forward impatiently. Seeing the entire coffin full of liquid, he didn’t know where to start.
Seeing this, everyone else also stepped forward.
“So many arms twisted together, and six heads, I’ve never seen anything like this.”
Yang Yi frowned.
Although this was her first time tomb raiding, she had read many books and records.
However, this thing in front of her was not in her knowledge.
“Too disgusting.”
A Ning’s brows furrowed tightly.
“Is it a joint burial? This is too cruel, isn’t it?”
“Could it be a living sacrifice?”
Wu Xie couldn’t bear to look at it.
“Could it be a ‘yang qi cang shi guan’ (养气藏尸棺)?”
Yang Yi suddenly thought of something and continued: “My great-grandmother’s notes mentioned that if there are two very good feng shui spots in a tomb, one of them will be used to place the tomb owner’s coffin.”
“The other feng shui spot needs to be filled with the same kind of coffin and buried with someone who has a special relationship with him, to avoid attracting evil spirits.”
“And there are also requirements for this burial method, where some living people are given special medicine and then buried alive together.”
“So, is this the tomb owner’s concubine inside?”
Her explanation did make sense, but someone in the crowd quickly objected.
Zhang Qi Ling said expressionlessly: “No, it’s one person.”
“One person?”
Everyone was surprised.
Wu Xie pinched his nose, took a closer look, and said: “Even if it’s extremely deformed, it doesn’t look like one person, does it?”
Wang Pang Zi saw some jade objects in the coffin fluid and couldn’t help but suggest: “Let’s go to the next room to find some jars, scoop out the coffin fluid, and drag the body out to take a look, wouldn’t that solve it?”
“Meow!”
It’s not clear whether it was Fatty’s words that offended something.
In the dim tomb.
A shrill cat meow suddenly came from somewhere.
“Not good! The candle has changed!”
Yang Yi keenly discovered that the candle in the southeast corner suddenly turned into a silvery, ghostly green at that moment.
Wang Pang Zi was dumbfounded and quickly got up: “It really did rise!”
“Go!”
Zhang Qi Ling immediately shouted and quickly turned to retreat.
Yang Yi was close at this moment.
Four or five waxy arms stretched out from the coffin fluid.
Trying to pull Yang Yi into the coffin.
“Little Sister!”
Wang Pang Zi couldn’t help but cry out in alarm.
Yang Yi naturally sensed the change.
But it was too late for her to reach for something from her bag.
Even more absurd.
The mechanism of the sunken tomb’s ear chambers shifting was triggered at this time.
The stone door they originally came in from slowly disappeared.
Everyone who had already retreated to the passage gradually disappeared from Yang Yi’s sight.
“Luan jin tuo (乱金柝)!”
At this moment, the Taiji Bagua diagram appeared under Lin Chuan’s feet.
The flow of time around him suddenly slowed down.
As if time had completely stopped at this moment.
Lin Chuan could clearly feel that those four hands had already grabbed Yang Yi’s arms.
Just this contact.
The clothes on her sleeve were already burnt through, revealing the white skin underneath.
“Come back!”
Lin Chuan grabbed Yang Yi’s arm.
He forcefully pulled her back.
At the same time, Yuan Hong swung out a blue sword Qi and immediately cut off the four arms that had stretched out of the coffin.
Bang!
Space and time resumed at this moment.
And Yang Yi.
Was thrown back to the door by a force.
But behind the door at this time.
There was only a stone wall, no passage.
“Roar!”
The twelve-handed female corpse was severely injured, and her entire body bounced up from the coffin.
Like a cat startled, she moved so fast that it was impossible to catch with the naked eye.
The liquid from the coffin splashed everywhere.
“Lin Da Ge! Left side!”
Yang Yi, having regained her senses, quickly reminded him.
A white-haired creature of unknown origin dashed out from somewhere.
Lin Chuan grabbed the creature’s throat with his left hand.
“Ghost thing!”
“Do you think I’m afraid to kill you?!”
