I began to think that he was deliberately trying to scare me, but judging from his expression and his behavior, he didn't look like that kind of person. The stuffy oil bottle kept making a "gurgling" sound, but his mouth didn't move. The four of us looked at him, so cold, I thought it couldn't be that bad. Could it be that the stuffy oil bottle turned out to be an Infernal Affairs rice dumpling?

When the third uncle saw his expression of horror, he pulled Pan Zi out. Suddenly, Menyoupin became silent. There was no sound at all in the tomb. I don’t know how long it took, but I got a little impatient. Just when I was about to ask him what was going on, the coffin board suddenly turned upward and began to shake violently. Then an eerie and chilling sound came from the sarcophagus. The sound was very similar to what was described in my grandfather's notes. It really seemed like the sound of a frog croaking.

When Dakui saw this, he sat down on the ground in fright. My feet softened and I almost sat down. My third uncle had finally seen the world. Although his feet began to shake, he didn't fall down.

After hearing the sound, the stuffy oil bottle looked very ugly. He knelt down on the ground and took a heavy bite towards the coffin. As soon as we saw him, we immediately followed suit and knelt down to kowtow. The stuffy oil bottle raised its head and made a series of strange noises, as if it was chanting some spell. The third uncle broke into a cold sweat and said softly: "Isn't he talking to it?"

The sarcophagus finally stabilized and stopped shaking. Mengyouping kowtowed again, then stood up and said to us: "We must leave here before dawn."

The third uncle wiped his sweat and asked, "Brother, were you bargaining with Grandpa Zongzi just now?"

Menyouping made a don't ask question gesture: "Don't touch anything here anymore. The master in this coffin is extremely powerful. If this is released, Immortal Daluo won't be able to get out."

Pan Zi still didn't know what was going on, so he smiled and asked, "Hey, little brother, where is that foreign language you just spoke?"

Menyouping ignored him, pointed to the passage behind the coffin, and said: "Go gently, don't touch the coffin!" The third uncle calmed down, to be honest, with such a person next to us, we We became a lot more courageous, so we tidied up the guys, with the third uncle taking the lead and the oil bottle at the end. We turned on the miner's lamp and went straight down to the tunnel behind the coffin. When Na Dakui passed the coffin, his back was pressed against the wall, trying to keep his distance. He looked very funny, but I had no interest in laughing at him at this time.

The tomb passage slopes downward. There are inscriptions and some stone carvings carved on both sides of the tomb passage. I took a look at them, but I don’t understand what they mean. In fact, I am in the business of rubbings and antiques, and I have done some research on these. I can understand a few words.

But I can say this, even if I understood all these words, it would be very difficult to understand the meaning because there is no punctuation at all. The ancients spoke very concisely and skillfully. For example, one said: "Ran". I remember a king of Qi State asked his military advisor a question. The military advisor nodded and smiled and said: "Ran". The monarch went back and pondered for a long time whether he agreed or objected. As a result, he became sick from overwork. Before he was about to die, he told the military advisor the answer he had considered and asked the military advisor if that was what he meant at that time. The military advisor laughed. : "ran". The emperor died immediately.

The third uncle walked very carefully. Each step took a long time. The penetration of the miner's lamp was not very strong. The front was made of black lacquer and the back was also made of black lacquer. The feeling was the same as when we were in the water cave. I felt very We were uncomfortable. We walked for about half an hour. The tunnel started to go upwards. We knew that we should have walked halfway. At this time, we saw a robbery cave. The third uncle couldn't help being surprised. He was most afraid that someone else would get there first. , hurriedly went over to check.

This cave must have been well dug not long ago. Even the soil is relatively new. I asked my third uncle, "The old man said that a group of people entered this valley two weeks ago. Could it be that group of people dug it?"

"I can't tell, but the hole was dug in a hurry. It doesn't look like it was dug just to get in.

It seemed like they were fighting to get out! I'm afraid we've really been beaten to the punch. "

"Don't be discouraged, Third Master. If they fell well, they must have gone out the same way. It looks like something must have happened. I think the baby should be here anyway." Pan Zi comforted.

Third uncle nodded, let's continue walking. Since someone has walked through the thunder for us, we don't need to be so mother-in-law.

We speeded up and walked for another 15 minutes. We arrived at a thickened corridor. This section was more than twice as wide as the one we came from, and the decoration was much more sophisticated. It looked like we were in the main tomb area. At the bottom of this corridor, there is a huge jade door, which is very transparent. Now it has been opened wide. Compared with someone opening it from the inside, there are two statues on the edge of the jade door, which are two hungry-faced ghosts. , one holding a ghost claw in one hand, and the other holding a seal. All in darkness.

The third uncle checked the Jade Gate and found that the mechanism above had been destroyed. We went in through the crack in the door. The space inside was large and pitch black. The power of the miner's lamp was insufficient and the light was not very clear.

But we can already get a rough idea. This should be the main tomb. Pan Zi swept it with his miner's lamp and shouted: "Why are there so many coffins?"

Without a strong light source, it was very difficult to see clearly what was in the tomb. I glanced at it, and sure enough, there were many sarcophagi in the middle of the tomb, and I could tell at a glance that they seemed to be arranged in what order. The tomb is not arranged in a very formal and neat manner. The top of the tomb is a large ceiling covered with murals, and is surrounded by regular stone slabs with characters densely packed on them. I put the miner's lamp on the ground aside, and Pan Zi put the one in his hand in the direction crossing me. After taking a general look, we saw that there were two more ear chambers next to the tomb.

The third uncle and I walked to the first sarcophagus and made a fire. The sarcophagus was completely different from the one we saw when we went down to the Robber's Cave. This one was covered with inscriptions. I took a look and found that it could Understand part of it!

The text above describes the life of the owner in the sarcophagus. It turns out that the owner of the tomb is a prince of the Lu State. This man was born with a ghost seal and could borrow Yin soldiers from the underworld. Therefore, he was invincible in battle and was defeated by Lu. The Duke of Lu was named King Shang of Lu. One day, he suddenly asked to see the Duke of Lu and said that he had borrowed troops from the underworld for many years, but now there was a rebellion by the underworld ruler, and he had to return to the underworld to repay the debt of favor to the underworld ruler. (Of course the original sentence is not written like this), I hope the Duke of Lu can allow him to return to the underworld and resume his life. The Duke of Lu made it right at that time, and King Shang of Lu took a cigarette and passed away.

Duke Guo of Lu thought he would come back, so he set up an underground palace for him here to preserve his body, hoping that he could continue to serve him when he came back. This is very wordy, and it also describes in detail the battles he fought. Almost all of them say that as soon as he lit up his ghost seal, a large number of sinister soldiers came out of the ground to steal people's souls. After listening to my explanation, Pan Zi sighed: "It's so powerful. Fortunately, he died early, otherwise the country of Lu would be the one to unify the six countries."

I laughed, "That's not necessarily true. People in ancient times were very good at boasting. You, King Lu Shang, can borrow Yin soldiers. So and so in Qi State can borrow Heavenly soldiers. I remember there are generals who can fly. The Book of Mountains and Seas. You You must have seen it before."

"Anyway, we finally know whose fight we are fighting. However, there are so many coffins here, which one is his?" Pan Zi asked.

I have read the inscriptions on several other coffins, and most of them have the same content. We counted them and found that there were seven in total, which happened to be the Big Dipper. There was no record on the seven coffins that could indicate anything. While I was studying some other inscriptions that I couldn't understand, Dakui shouted from the side, "Look, this sarcophagus has been opened."

I walked over and took a look, and sure enough, the coffin board was not 100% sealed with the coffin, and there were many places on the coffin with traces of new pry bars. The third uncle took out our pry bar from the bag, pried open the coffin board bit by bit, and then shined a light inside. Pan Zi made a strange noise and looked at us, confused: "Why is it inside?" Is he a foreigner?"

When we took a look, it turned out that there was indeed a foreigner inside. Not only was he a foreigner, but he was also very fresh. He must have been dead for less than a week. Pan Zi wanted to reach in and grab something, but the oil bottle grabbed his shoulder. It looked like he had used a lot of force. Pan Zi grinned in pain and said, "Don't move, the real owner is underneath him!"

We took a closer look, and sure enough, there was a corpse underneath the foreigner. We couldn't see what it looked like. The third uncle took out the black donkey's hoof and said, "It should be a black man. It's better to strike first."

At this time, Dakui pulled my clothes behind me and pulled me aside.

He was usually quite cheerful, but I felt strange and asked him what was wrong. He pointed to the shadows of us cast by the miner's lamp on the wall opposite, and said softly: "Look, this is your shadow, right?"

I said angrily: "Why, are you even afraid of shadows now?"

His expression was not very good, and his mouth trembled when he heard what I said. I thought to myself, no, are you really scared to this extent? He waved his hand to tell me not to speak, and then pointed at the shadows: "This is mine, this is Pan Zi's, this is Third Master's, and this is little brother's. You have seen them all, right? Plus yours There are 5 in total, right?”

I nodded, and suddenly I seemed to have discovered something. Da Kui swallowed, pointed at another lonely shadow that was not with us, and asked almost crying, "Whose shadow does this belong to?"
