Chapter 40

Life and death, this is the first time in my life. If anything, the situation may be similar to me at the moment, perhaps more unbearable than me. Of course, since you have picked up this life, you should cherish it

I don't want to die, let alone now.

I smoked one cigarette and another until I finished smoking, and the fear of death threat dissipated.

During this time, Hu Qingguo and them were not idle.

Because I accidentally touched the mechanism just now, a stone pit collapsed from the middle only a few meters away from the stone gate. The width of the stone pit is as much as five meters, and there are very sharp spears below. Now if you want to go smoothly to the stone gate opposite the stone pit, you must think of a perfect way, otherwise you will die if you make a mistake.

Fortunately, Fu Hongshan ran frantically forward for two steps at the moment when the mechanism was touched. At the moment, he was right opposite us. However, he tried several times with the tools for digging and stealing holes in his backpack. He wanted to take a hole in the wall and fix the rope, so that we could swing over with the strength of this rope. Although the method is good, I don't know what stone is used on the wall of this corridor. It's not only very smooth, but also very hard.

Fang Wenhu took two steps forward and looked at the stone pit again. His face was horizontal and suddenly said, "why don't I try first and see if I can jump over."

"No, you don't want to die." Hu Qingguo said quickly, "of course it's all right in the flat ground. The key is that there are deadly things under the stone pit. In case of a mistake, the immortal Luo can't save it."

"Yes, yes, three children don't fool around. Don't be so rash. Life matters," Fu Hongshan said.

Fang Wenhu said, "what should we do? It's impossible for us to stay here all the time. When we see Baoshan, we can't enter Baoshan."

Jiang Yilong said, "brother Fu's method is good, but it doesn't work because of the wall. However, in the final analysis, we only need something to borrow. You see, there are thousands of arrows scattered on the ground. We just need to collect them and carefully fill some of the stone pit. Can't we solve this problem?"

"I'm confused. I forgot these things. It seems that we were all scared silly by the scene of Xiao Qi just now." Fang Wenhu slapped his forehead fiercely, and immediately collected the arrows as Jiang Yilong said. Finally, he filled the stone pit carefully.

It took us about ten minutes to fill both ends of the pit. The original five meter long pit was shortened to more than two meters. We have experienced several checkpoints before and after coming to Shimen smoothly, and almost several times are fatal. Therefore, we are extra careful now. Instead of opening the stone gate in a hurry, we carefully checked it up, down, left and right for three or four times. After it was determined that there was no mechanism, three or four of us joined hands to push the stone gate open.

When the stone gate just made a dull sound and opened a gap, an unusually unpleasant smell came to my face, just like the smell of corpse decay. Jiang Yilong and I are naturally very disgusted, and even have a feeling of nausea and vomiting. However, Hu Qingguo's reaction is quite different from ours. They not only have no disgust, but also smile.

Before, we guessed that behind the stone gate is likely to be the main Tomb of the tomb owner, but now with this smell alone, Hu Qingguo and they are more convinced of this idea. Although they are not completely sure, they are at least 50% sure.

One third of the stone gate was opened by us, which was enough for people to pass. We simply didn't waste our energy. Trying to resist the strange smell in the air, he quickly flashed a circle back and forth with a flashlight.

What appeared in front of us was also a stone chamber, which was also in a sealed state. But the difference is that the chamber of secrets in front of us is very large, with four stone columns, which seems to be a support to prevent collapse. In addition, coffins are neatly placed on the ground. There are four rows of coffins, a total of 16, and there is a candle lamp hanging with three small iron chains directly above each coffin.

"Found, finally found." Hu Qingguo looked very excited and couldn't help shouting out.

Fang Wenhu and Chen Qing led them down the steps into the secret room, walked around coffins, and finally pointed to the candle lamp hanging on the coffin and said, "there should be no mechanism around, but it's strange that there is oil in the oil lamp. I smell it and can't smell what oil it is."

Hu Qingguo said, "then try a lighter."

Chen Qing took out his lighter and tried it in the candle lamp. Unexpectedly, he actually lit the candle lamp. While everyone felt strange, Fang Wenhu and they also lit all the other candle lamps. This time, the light in the secret room was very bright, just like dropping an embroidery needle. I'm afraid they can easily pick it up.

Just now, with a flashlight, we can naturally notice more striking things, such as stone pillars, coffins and hanging candles. But now when all the candles are lit up, we find that different murals are also painted and engraved on the walls around the secret room. Although the class content on the murals is different, the painting style is not different from what we saw in the corridor before.

In such an environment, I can't help feeling creepy in my heart. But I'm afraid it's only for a while, because even if the murals on the wall depict how lifelike, they are still dead and pose no threat to us at all. Now it is urgent that we should collect the funerary goods of the tomb owner as soon as possible, and then leave this ghost place quickly.

I said, "as far as I know, in the past, noble princes and nobles were buried with living people after their death. Now there are 16 coffins in front of us. That is, if the coffin contains not funeral objects, but corpses, can we think that this is just a funeral room, not the main tomb?"

Hu Qingguo's face suddenly felt down. He glanced around all the coffins and said, "if it's a burial place, it must be the same as that in the secret room before. There must be a secret passage leading to the main tomb. If it's not... Naturally, if you want to determine this, you just need to open the coffin and have your own answer."

"Wait a minute, we'll open the coffin right away. Sanwa, come on, let's pry open this one first and see what's inside."

Fu Hongshan asked Fang Wenhu to help. Naturally, Chen Qing was curious and eager to know what was inside. He hurried to help nail the coffins and pry them open one by one. It took a long time. The three of them succeeded in prying open the coffin nearest to us.

Just when he was able to push the lid of the coffin, Hu Qingguo couldn't wait to ask, "what's inside?"

"One, two, three, open."

The three men worked together and worked hard in one direction. The coffin cover finally fell to the ground. But when they looked into the coffin, their original happy face suddenly sank. "It's a dead body."
