Chapter 1022 Thin-Skinned Coffin
“What is this?!”
Everyone subconsciously let out a low cry, and the sound entered the empty and spacious stone chamber, and countless dull cries immediately sounded. The echo, in this narrow tunnel, seemed like many invisible people were shouting in surprise at the same time.
This weird feeling is creepy.
But Ashina Zhuxie's eyes burst out with surprise. He was tall, half a head taller than an ordinary Western Turkic soldier, so the soldiers walking in front were holding torches high. Check carefully to see if there is any danger , he had already used the flickering and weak firelight from the torch to see at a glance that there was a natural stone platform in the center of the stone room, about as high as a person's knee. There seemed to be a huge, square thing placed on the stone platform, dark and dark. looming in the firelight.
Even before he could see it clearly, two words had already flashed in his mind -
Coffin!
The only thing that can be so big and square seems to be a coffin. Besides, the long corridor we just came from is like a tomb passage, and this stone chamber does look like a tomb.
But, is that really Zuo Chenan's coffin? Is this really Zuo Gong's tomb?
With such joy and doubt, Ashina Zhuxie stretched out his hand to push away the person in front of him, and walked directly up. With his movements, the rest of the people also saw clearly that the front was gradually exposed. Everything under the firelight - this tall The stone chamber is almost the size of a palace. It is half natural and half excavated, because you can see that two stone walls are obviously smooth and natural, and there are traces of water flow, while the other two sides are like the corridor we just came from, with axes on them. Marks of cuts.
Of course, these are not the most important things. The most important thing is the thing in the center of the stone room!
As soon as they saw this stone room, after being surprised and hesitant at first, and realizing that there seemed to be no danger inside, everyone quickly walked into the stone room. The fire approached and immediately illuminated the square above the stone platform. Giant thing.
That is really a coffin!
Everyone was extremely happy, and even Lu Xiao had an uncontrollable smile on his face. He originally thought that he would have to go through many difficulties and dangers to find Zuo Gong’s tomb, but he didn’t expect to find it so quickly. This is so unexpected!
While overjoyed, she couldn't help but move forward, wanting to see the detailed appearance of the coffin, but she was not the only one who thought so, the other Turkic soldiers had long been without any scruples. They gathered around, and two of them couldn't wait to get on the stone platform, walked to the coffin, and waved to the people behind them: "Fire, come here quickly!"
In an instant, everyone climbed onto the stone platform and gathered around the coffin to take a closer look.
But at first glance, the eyes of others were still full of joy, but Wang Shaoqiu's shrewd eyes slowly showed a look of worry. He shook his head and said softly: "That's not right."
< br>People around me only care about Joy, no one paid attention to his murmurings. Only Lu Xiao and Lei Yu who were standing next to him faintly heard his words. Lu Xiao turned to look at him and wanted to say something, but he hesitated. Lei Yu, on the other hand, turned to look at him. Yudao: "What's wrong?"
Wang Shaoqiu also glanced at her. Although he didn't want to talk to this Turk Ketun who obviously didn't deal with him very well, it seemed that she was the only one who could listen to his words now, so he said: "This coffin is too thin. Okay, Zuo Chen settled down as It is impossible for the Duke to be buried in such a simple coffin and——"
After saying that, he looked up and looked around. Although it looked like a tomb, it was too simple and not a Duke at all. The rules for burial.
Of course, maybe Zuo Chen'an deliberately used such a simple tomb to confuse those who wanted to find him. After all, he had offended many people during his lifetime, and he was afraid that someone would seek revenge, and even more afraid that someone would seek his wealth, but the coffin was so simple. It shouldn’t be. Wang Shaoqiu stretched out his hand and knocked gently on the coffin lid. Sure enough, he heard the sound of control. It was really just a thin wooden board.
But someone next to me has already said: "Hey, can you care so much after a person dies?" "Yes, maybe that leftist or something is just afraid that people will find his coffin, so he deliberately made a mouthful of thin skin. The coffin is a fool. "
"It's not easy to find, so we can't just let it go."
"Pry it open and see what's inside!"
>
As he was talking, someone had already pulled out the dagger from his waist and was eager to pry open the coffin board, but Wang Shaoqiu immediately stopped him and said, "Don't move yet!"
When he stopped him, several people were exposed With an unhappy look on his face, Ashina Zhu Xie also frowned and turned to look at him. Without waiting for the other party to ask, Wang Shaoqiu had already said: "What if It's really Zuo Chen'an's coffin. He can set up a tomb to protect himself. I'm afraid this coffin is not that simple. There may be some hidden weapon that can hurt people."
"What kind of hidden weapon?"
A Turk next to him had long been coveting the treasures that might be buried in the coffin. Hearing his words of obstruction, he immediately kicked out in displeasure. He kicked the thin-skinned coffin and said, "It's just a thin-skinned coffin, what can it do?"
That said, a few people have already listened to Wang Shaoqiu's words, such as Li Miao and Gao Chen, they were originally the guards of the palace. Although they have not seen the tombs of princes with their own eyes, they are still familiar with such legends and know it well. If this is really Zuo Chen'an's coffin, there must be some tricks inside, so it is better to avoid the safety, so both of them secretly pulled Lu Xiao's sleeves, but at this time Lu Xiao was focused on the coffin. , wishing they could pry it open earlier to see what was inside; while other Turkic soldiers did not believe in this evil, and still tried their best to pry the coffin lid with the daggers in their hands.
After a while, a few iron nails were pried loose by them, and everyone swarmed up again, holding the coffin lid and forcefully lifting it to the side -
There was only a "clang" sound, and the coffin was completely opened!
"Be careful!"
Wang Shaoqiu let out a low cry in shock, stretched out his long arms to push away the people around him, and he himself almost fell off the stone platform; and when he heard him At the sound of the sound, Ashina Zhuxie also hurriedly protected Lei Yu and stepped back a little. Everyone opened their eyes wide and stared nervously at the coffin.
A faint golden light suddenly flashed in front of everyone's eyes.
What followed was an unpleasant stench, which instantly filled the entire stone chamber as soon as the lid was opened. Everyone was nauseated by the smell, and some even retched directly. The torches in the hands of several soldiers started to flutter inexplicably, and in the flames Still glowing with a faint white light.
This incident made everyone's hearts jump to their throats.
What's in the coffin?
However, except for the golden light and the dizzying stench, there was no movement. Everyone cautiously moved up and looked around the coffin. Suddenly, someone shouted again He let out a low cry of surprise.
“This, this is——!”
