Chapter 64 The outer coffin is different

Candle is extinguished, out of instinct, my body also feel a chill, but I then reminded myself: “This is a normal physical phenomenon, the candle burned to the head, nothing to be afraid of, if it burned to the head is still bright, that is really a ghost.”

At this time only to hear behind the “thud” sound, I thought the fat man and I have a situation behind, hastily pull back to look back, but see Dajinya look at the extinguished candles paralyzed on the ground, scared and colorless.

This is to blame the usual fat man and his bragging time, add oil and vinegar to the “ghost blowing lamp” depicted as a nightmare, Dajinya usually just a treacherous businessman, did not experience what test, at this time, in this gloomy underground palace, suddenly see the candle extinguished, how he is not afraid of, only shivering into a ball of fear.

I put the paratrooper knife in my hand on my waist, reached out and pulled Dajinya up, comforting him, “What’s wrong with you Master Jin? It’s fine, isn’t there Fatty and I here, with the two of us here, there’s not a hair less than a heel of sweat on you, don’t be afraid.”

Dajinya see the front in addition to the candle burned to the end and extinguished, and then there is nothing unusual movement, panted: “Shame shame, I …… I’m not …… afraid, I think of… …my family, still counting on me to feed all by myself, I’m just a little ……that ……”

I waved my hand at the big gold teeth, now is not the time to talk, on the ground and re-light a candle, the three of us walked forward a few steps, this time the southeast corner of the “man”, has entered our wolf-eye flashlight lighting range.

It turns out that across the candle, always standing in the southeast corner of the temple of the underworld, is not a person, but indeed there is a face, but also a human face, surprisingly, is a stone carved into the statue.

Stone face is carved in relief on a huge stone coffin, this stone coffin is very large, I swear, we just drilled into the temple from the robber’s hole, the temple is empty, there is absolutely no this big stone coffin, it and seal the robber’s hole of the stone wall, seem to be from the air suddenly appeared.

I and the fat man and the back of the big gold teeth, see the underworld hall suddenly more a giant stone coffin, are as blinded by a head of water, and walked forward a few steps, close to the stone coffin to see.

This stone coffin is about three point five meters long, one point seven high, the whole body is made of boulder, in addition to the bottom of the stone coffin, the rest of the four weeks and the coffin cover, are helping to carve a huge human face, the whole stone coffin is a kind of gray, give a person a kind of heavy perception.

This human face seems to be the decoration on the stone coffin, carved with five clear, and ordinary people, only slightly larger ears, eyes flat, no expression on the face, although only a stone carved human face, but gives a person a kind of grotesque and cold feeling.

At first we in the hall of the underworld and the former hall of the passageway, far away from the candles to see this stone face, candlelight trance, did not see that is a stone carved human face, also did not see the darkness of this large stone coffin.

At the moment see clearly, but think this stone coffin on the human face, far more than what ghosts, zombies and other faces to be scary, because of those things we are ideologically prepared, but in any case did not expect to come up with such a thing.

Fatty said to me: “Old Hu, what the hell is this? I see this craft seems to have years of age, could it be that it has become fertilized? Otherwise how can suddenly appear on the ground, to say that we remembered the wrong pattern on the mural, but there may be, but such a big stone, we just came in to see how carefully this underworld, but did not see, that is not a living ghost?”

I said to Fatty: “Don’t talk nonsense, this seems to be a stone coffin, this ancient tomb is really everywhere is weird, I don’t know where it drilled out from.” I asked Dajinya behind me, “Master Jin, you are very knowledgeable, can you tell the name of this stone coffin?”

Dajinya, who had been hiding behind Fatty and me, said, “Master Hu, I think this stone coffin is from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties.” Said with a wolf’s eye to the bottom of the stone coffin said: “You see this on the Western Zhou period of the cloud thunder pattern, I dare to take the head of the guarantee, the Tang Dynasty is absolutely no such thing.”

Although I have been doing antique business for a while, but they are all messing around with some of the Ming and Qing Dynasty stuff, the Tang Dynasty before the contact is not a lot of things, have never seen the Yinshang and Western Zhou period of things.

Listen to the big gold tooth said this stone coffin is the Western Zhou period, I think this can be even more strange, said to the big gold tooth: “If I remember correctly, we now should not be in an ancient tomb of the Tang dynasty in the hall of the underworld? How could there be a Western Zhou stone coffin in a Tang Dynasty tomb?”

Dajinya said, “Well …… not to mention you, this moment I also began to be confused, we turned a big circle in this tomb, look at the construction of this tomb dungeon, as well as the murals of those obese courtesans, in addition to the tomb of the Tang Dynasty, which there is this kind of row, this kind of craft, but …… then again, this stone coffin’s indeed not something from the Tang Dynasty.”

Fatty said to us: “Okay, it is impossible to remember the wrong, to remember the wrong can not be three people are remembering the wrong, I look at this stone …… what the outer coffin, is not what is worth the money of the thing, I stayed in this netherworld all over the body is not comfortable, let’s quickly think of a way to find a way to get out of this, it love is which dynasty is the Which dynasty it is, it has nothing to do with us.”

I said: “No, I see the stone material of the outer coffin, with the sealing of the entrance to the cave is very similar to the big stone plate, and they are all God does not know the ghost suddenly appeared, if you want to find a way out, we must figure out exactly what is going on.”

Dajinya said: “Master Hu ah, I also think it is better not to see, we can not go back from the entrance of the cave, not still can go to the middle of the cave side of it, I think that previously came in the gold master, it is from the cave cave maze side of the departure, although the legend is a big labyrinth, but we do not have a compass it, do not have to worry about getting lost. ”

I nodded: “I know, in addition to the compass, there are glutinous rice and long rope, these can be used to make road signs, but the depth of that cave is unknown, I’m afraid it’s not too easy to get out, I’m most worried about that road is also emerging these stone walls and stone coffins and other weird things, heck, where did these Western Zhou things actually come out from?”

I said, suddenly remembered one thing, in the small village next to the snake slope, stay with us overnight the old couple, once said, this mountain is not the Tang mausoleum, but rumored to have an ancient tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty, this face stone coffin is indeed the Western Zhou objects, does not mean that we are now in the place is not the Tang mausoleum, but the tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty, since it is the case that those Tang dynasty murals and the layout of the Tang dynasty mausoleum and how to explain it?

Thinking of headache, but also can not think of a reason, these things even if there are more experience in the bucket, but also can not be explained, we are facing, is a completely incomprehensible phenomenon, the Tang Dynasty abandoned mausoleums how will emerge from the Western Zhou Dynasty, the human face of the stone coffins ……

Dajinya is still fearful, he has always been bold, he is money first, is a downright gold-digger, not too superstitious, never too much belief in ghosts and gods, if you let him in the money and God and Buddha, to make a choice, even if you let him choose a hundred times, he will not hesitate to choose the money, after all, dry antique line, especially pouring the Mingqi, can not be too superstitious, Dajinya in the neck to hang some gold Buddha Jade Guanyin. Hanging some gold Buddha jade Guanyin on the neck, but also just to seek a little psychological comfort.

However, at the moment, in the face of these unimaginable circumstances, the big gold teeth also ambiguous, can not help but ask me: “that theft hole in the sudden appearance of the stone wall, will not be …… ghosts hit the wall?”

I just thought of a little bit of clues, not yet clear, by the words of the big gold teeth to interrupt the thoughts, they said to him: “Ghosts hit the wall? Ghosts hit the wall we have not encountered, but I have heard that the ghosts are obsessed with the general, circling around in place, that the robber’s hole, although out of thin air out of a stone wall, should be and the ghosts hit the wall is two different things.”

Fatty urged from the side: “Old Hu, hurry up okay, you have to say that we now withdraw, then do not stand with this, if you feel the need to look at this human face stone box is what is the thing, then the two of us will find a way to pry it open.”

I did not answer the fat man’s question for the time being, carefully reached out and pushed the human face stone coffin, stone coffin inside wedged stone mortise and tenon, covered tightly, even if you take the iron bar is not too easy to pry open, and then in case there is a dumpling inside, put out is not good enough to deal with, I looked at the stone coffin that the strange human face, think it’s still not moving for the best.

Originally we just want to come in to pick up some cheap, cheap did not pick up is just, try not to make more trouble, as long as there is a way out will be good, weighing the pros and cons, I think it is better to turn a blind eye to this weird face of the stone coffin.

I made up my mind, to the fat man and the big gold tooth said don’t care about this human face stone coffin, we still according to the original way back, the big deal is to turn out from the Dragon Ridge Cave, and then stay, may not be here again what changes.

Dajinya had this intention, can not wait to get away from the coffin far away, at the same time the three of them turned to go, Dajinya holding two geese, the first to jump into the center of the temple in the cave, the fat man then also jumped down, I looked back at the southeast corner of the temple of the candles, both hands on both sides of the cave, jumped down the cave.

This section of the cave when we came, has been explored to understand the angle of the cave is, forty-five degrees inclined surface, straight to the center of the Temple of the Underworld, we crawl in the cave to the bottom of the incline, crawling crawling, but individuals feel that something is not right, the original incline of the cave how to turn into a flat ground? We use the flashlight to sweep around, are dumbfounded, we actually climbed in a chamber on the ground, surrounded by strange and bizarre rock paintings of human faces, is not at all the previous cave.

The three of us looked at each other, and couldn’t help but ask, “What the fuck kind of hell is this place?”
