Tomb Raider: Evolution of the Red Dragon, Starting from the Ancient City of Jingjue

Chapter 138: The coffin, the bronze coffin, if you are not strong enough, do not approach

"Could this be the main tomb chamber of King Xian?" Shirley Yang guessed.

"It's possible." Jiang Hua nodded, "The earth energy here is very strong, and the yin and yang energy of the surrounding heaven and earth all flow here."

"If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the tomb of King Xian."

Hearing Jiang Hua's words, the fat man's eyes suddenly lit up.

He looked at the three coffins in front of him.

Suddenly I felt a little embarrassed again.

"But... there are three coffins here, which one is the real one?" Everyone walked up to the three coffins and looked at them carefully.

This is the first bronze coffin.

It was tied with nine iron chains and suspended in the air.

Hu Bayi frowned and said, "This bronze coffin is often used to suppress extremely vicious things, so there is a saying that goes 'The coffin is made of bronze, if you are not strong enough, do not approach it.'"

"This is the tomb of King Xian, shouldn't he use a bronze coffin?"

"Is there something terrible in here?"

Jiang Hua also guessed: "Then this bronze coffin should not belong to King Xian."

"This is the only possibility."

Hu Bayi nodded, "If he wants to become an immortal, he can't use a bronze coffin."

"Because this bronze coffin is completely sealed, it is to suppress the things inside."

Everyone walked to the second coffin.

This is a wooden coffin.

Hu Bayi looked at it for a while and knocked on the wooden coffin with his hand.

dong dong!

The sound of the fingers tapping was particularly loud and heavy.

A trace of shock appeared on Hu Bayi's face.

"This is actually the legendary cellar coffin."

"Is it very expensive?" The fat man was stunned.

“Yeah, it’s expensive!”

Hu Bayi nodded affirmatively.

"This cave coffin is made of a strange tree that grows in a place that never sees sunlight. It adds one more growth ring every year it grows. After a thousand years of growth, it can be called a cave coffin."

"This kind of coffin is extremely difficult to grow, so if it is taken to the antique market, it will be more valuable than the same amount of gold!"

Hearing Hu Bayi's words, the fat man's eyes flashed and his breathing became a little rapid.

Looking at this cellar coffin is like looking at a golden coffin.

The fat man rubbed his hands, his breathing became a little rapid, and he said excitedly: "Why don't we take this coffin back with us?"

No one paid any attention to him.

He turned around and looked at the last coffin.

This coffin is made of stone.

The whole body is black, with lines on it.

There is not a single crack in this sarcophagus.

It seems like a piece of stone.

In fact, the outside of the sarcophagus is sealed with a circle of black paint, making it look like there are no cracks.

Hu Bayi touched it with his hand with a hint of curiosity.

The sarcophagus is very cold.

Shirley Yang asked curiously, "Why is this sarcophagus so small? Could it be that there is a child buried inside?"

"That's not necessarily true. In ancient times, we had many burial cultures, including crouching burials, squatting burials, and prone burials."

Hu Bayi said: "The person buried in this sarcophagus must have been buried in a curled-up position, which is why he looks so small."

"Old Hu, what is this sarcophagus made of?" the fat man asked curiously.

"Why do you ask?"

"Well... this is just curiosity."

"I see you want to move back again?"

The fat man laughed awkwardly.

"This should be a rare cool stone that ordinary people can't find at all. Only those big shots are qualified to use coffins made of cool stone."

"Is it expensive?"

"Well, it's not expensive. The whole sarcophagus is probably worth several million."

Hearing this, the fat man seemed a little disappointed.

"Ah...it's only a few million."

"Hey, Fatty, you don't even care about a few million now?" Jiang Hua asked in surprise.

"Ahem, how is it possible..."

The fat man said awkwardly: "I just think that this stone coffin is not as valuable as that cellar coffin." Everyone joked.

Shirley Yang asked: "What should we do now?"

"Open the coffin directly?"

Everyone turned their eyes to Jiang Hua.

Jiang Hua hesitated for a moment and said, "Well, since it has come to this, let's open the coffin."

"But everyone be careful."

"Stay close to me as much as possible. If there is any danger, I will take you to the storage space immediately."

"Ah."

Everyone nodded.

"Fatty, go light the candles!" Hu Bayi ordered.

"Do we still need to light candles?" The fat man was stunned.

"Nonsense, this is the rule passed down by our ancestors. No matter what the result is, this rule cannot be broken!" Hu Bayi scolded.

"Ok."

The fat man took out a few candles from his backpack.

Then he walked to the southeast corner and tried to light a candle.

Suddenly, a light appeared in the tomb.

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

I saw that the bronze lamps around the tomb suddenly lit up by themselves for unknown reasons.

Look at the flames burning in these bronze lamps.

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

"How is this going?"

"Why did this bronze lamp suddenly light up?"

The tomb suddenly seemed a little weird.

Everyone looked around vigilantly.

To prevent any accidents from happening.

"Fat man?"

"Fatty??"

Hu Bayi shouted twice, but there was no response from the fat man.

A chill ran down everyone's heart.

Jiang Hua and Shirley Yang looked at each other.

Then the two of them walked to the southeast corner of the tomb.

The fat man just went to light the candles. But now there is no answer.

"Fat man?"

Suddenly, a voice sounded.

"Ah... why are you looking for me?"

Everyone suddenly looked in one direction.

I saw a fat man squatting in the direction of the bronze coffin with a look of confusion on his face.

"Fatty, what the hell are you doing squatting there?"

"Hehe, nothing much..." the fat man said with an embarrassed smile.

"No, Fatty, did you take something?"

Jiang Hua suddenly frowned.

"This... uh..."

The fat man began to hesitate.

Hu Bayi understood immediately, and he shouted: "Fatty, what did you take? Tell me now!"

"This is it……"

The fat man showed a bitter look on his face, sighed, and took out a bronze mirror from his pocket.

Jiang Hua and Hu Bayi's faces suddenly froze.

"Where did you find this bronze mirror?"

The fat man pointed to the bronze coffin next to him.

Jiang Hua and others walked to the bronze coffin.

There was a circular outline on the bronze coffin, which was obviously used to place the bronze mirror.

After Jiang Hua saw this scene.

For some reason, a chill rose in my heart.

"Fatty, put it back quickly!" Jiang Hua said solemnly.

"Ah? Is there something wrong?"

"Of course there is a problem." Jiang Hua said solemnly: "This should be the corpse-suppressing mirror used to suppress the bronze coffin. If you take it away, I'm afraid the things inside the bronze coffin will come out."

Hearing this, the fat man was also shocked.

He quickly placed the bronze mirror on the circular outline.

"Hey, why can't I put it back?"

"I just took it down from there, didn't I?"

Suddenly, there was an earthquake.

The entire tomb began to shake.

The bronze coffin was constantly moving.

boom!
A loud noise.

Coming from the bronze coffin.

The chains around it clanked.

Jiang Hua felt a great sense of crisis in his heart.

This must be something very horrible!

"Give me the corpse-suppressing mirror~"

Jiang Hua took the bronze mirror from the fat man.

Then he suddenly jumped onto the bronze coffin and pressed the bronze mirror on the coffin lid.

The magical thing is that the vibration inside the bronze coffin disappeared, as if it had really been suppressed by the corpse-suppressing mirror.

"Whoo~"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fatty, you almost killed us!"

Hu Bayi said unhappily.

"When will you change your habit of being naughty?"

The fat man knew he had made a mistake and didn't dare to say anything. He scratched his head and laughed awkwardly.

Jiang Hua also breathed a sigh of relief.

He jumped off the bronze coffin.

The surroundings also returned to silence.

"There might be some terrifying giant zongzi inside this bronze coffin. We'd better not provoke it."

"Uh-huh."

Everyone nodded.

Jiang Hua looked at the bronze lamp next to him.

These bronze lamps suddenly caught fire just now.

It seems very strange.

"What's with these bronze lamps?"

Jiang Hua stroked his chin and pondered.

"Old Hu, take a look at how many bronze lamps there are in total?"

Hu Bayi nodded, walked to the bronze lamp, and began to count carefully.

After a moment, Hu Bayi said, "There are ten bronze lamps in total."

"Ten?"

Hear this number.

Jiang Hua was stunned for a moment.

Immediately he couldn't help but frowned.

"What's wrong?" Shirley Yang asked.

"According to the ancient Chinese mausoleum system, there is usually one bronze lamp for each coffin."

"If it was a husband and wife tomb, there would be two bronze lamps."

"In this tomb, we only found three coffins, but why are there ten bronze lamps in total?"

"Doesn't that mean there are still seven bronze lamps that we haven't discovered yet?"

"But even though this tomb is not small, we can see the end at a glance. How could there be seven coffins?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Shirley Yang speculated: "Could it be that King Xian did not follow this mausoleum system?"

"impossible."

Jiang Hua affirmed: "Everything in this tomb is basically arranged according to the ancient Feng Shui technique. For a Feng Shui master like King Xian, he pays more attention to the mausoleum system."

"So, there is a high possibility that there are coffins in this tomb that we have not discovered yet."

After hearing this, everyone felt that the atmosphere in the tomb seemed to become even more gloomy.

The fat man trembled a little and said, "Brother Jiang, how did those bronze lamps suddenly catch fire just now?"

After hearing this question, Jiang Hua walked to the bronze lamp and observed it carefully.

The shape of this bronze lamp is also very strange.

It is like a bull's horn.

Lamp oil is stored in the middle.

At this moment, the bronze lamp lit up with a pale green flame.

It makes people feel scared.
