    Seeing the two tomb robbers who died in miserable and terrifying ways, Lu Wenle couldn't help but be frightened. Meng Zitao also frowned, and then he walked towards the corpses.

    "Zitao, be careful." Lu Wenle couldn't help but remind him.

    Meng Zitao said it was okay. He put on gloves on his hands and pulled out a dagger to check the condition of the corpses. In addition to those black spots, both corpses had signs of fighting and even knife wounds, indicating that they should have been alive before death.  Wrestled with people.

    Opening the backpacks beside them, they contained various types of jewelry and some gold ingots. These gold ingots were found in various periods, as late as the Song Dynasty.  Of course, the most popular one is Ying Yuan.

    ¡°Brother, it seems that this tomb is not the tomb of Chu State.¡± Meng Zitao turned around and said.

    "Well, yes." Lu Wenle looked around the tomb. From the architectural style, he could tell that the tomb was not built very long ago, which was different from his original speculation.

    But on the other hand, it made him very strange, because he did not see any relevant records in the local chronicles, nor did he come across any clues. Could it be that this tomb was created out of thin air?

    Lu Wenle didn¡¯t think much about this. He looked at the surrounding walls and saw that there was no exit at all. He couldn¡¯t help but wonder: ¡°Is this ancient tomb that big?¡±

    At this time, Meng Zitao said: "This is probably not the real tomb."

    "How to say?"

    "Look at this sarcophagus, apart from gold and silver jewelry, there is only a set of clothes. It looks like a tomb, but considering the place where Zhong Feng and the others entered the ancient tomb, I think this place is more designed to prevent theft."

    Lu Wenle is an expert after all. After listening to Meng Zitao's explanation, he quite agreed: "So, there is probably an entrance to the real tomb here."

    "Let's look for it and see if there is any mechanism or anything like that."

    Meng Zitao and Lu Wenle searched carefully in the stone room, but after walking around for almost a while, they couldn't find any mechanism.

    "I didn't find any clues, what about you?" Lu Wenle asked.

    "No." Meng Zitao shook his head. At this time, he looked at the sarcophagus and suddenly thought that the passage might be inside the sarcophagus.

    When I mentioned this speculation to Lu Wenle, Lu Wenle also thought it was possible.

    There is nothing special about the inside of the sarcophagus from the outside. Meng Zitao wanted to go in and take a look, but Lu Wenle disagreed because the tomb robbers had the foresight. What if there was poison in the sarcophagus?

    Meng Zitao also knew this. He originally wanted to use the spirit liquid to dilute the water to disinfect the sarcophagus before entering. However, after Lu Wenle said this, he was also worried about what if the spirit liquid would not be effective against this toxin.  Yes, he has not yet thought of testing the poison himself.

    But it¡¯s not a big deal to waste it like this. Meng Zitao used his brain to think of some perfect solution.  After a moment, he suddenly thought that he had not seen the back of the sarcophagus lid, so he turned it over to check, but found nothing.

    When he put the lid of the sarcophagus back on, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed that some of the floor tiles next to the sarcophagus seemed a little different. His heart moved, and he quickly walked over and knelt down to check. Sure enough, he found something different.

    He quickly took out the dagger, scratched it against the edge of the floor tile, and then pried it up with force. He saw that there was a very smooth stone surface underneath, and he knew there was something wrong with it.

    Seeing this situation, Lu Wenle also wanted to step forward to help, but his strength was weak and due to his previous injury, he could not pry the floor tiles at all, so he could only rest aside.

    On both ends of the right side of the sarcophagus, there were floor tiles of different colors. Meng Zitao pried them up and put them aside.

    "Now I try to push the sarcophagus this way."

    Meng Zitao, wearing gloves on his hands, breathed a sigh of relief, then stood on the left side of the sarcophagus and pushed it to the right.

    The sarcophagus should have not been pushed since the tomb was sealed. Even if there were guide rails underneath, it would not be easy to push because of its age. Meng Zitao exerted 60% of his force, but the sarcophagus still did not move at all. When he reached 70% of the force, the sarcophagus could not move at all.  Hearing a click, the sarcophagus moved slightly.

    Meng Zitao was really worried that the sarcophagus could not be moved just now. Thanks to his strength, if it had been anyone else, even if they were put together, they might not be able to move it.

    It became easier and easier when there was movement, so he added another 10% of his strength, and the sarcophagus was pushed faster and faster. Soon, a dark hole that could only accommodate one person appeared in front of the two of them.  in front of.

    I used a miner's lamp to illuminate it and found that the entrance of the hole was still there.The cold light whizzed down and hit the stone steps, making a tinkling sound and even sparks flying out, showing how amazing its power was.

    Lu Wenle was startled and shouted loudly: "Zitao, are you okay?"

    Meng Zitao replied: "It's okay, I'll go take a look."

    ¡°Don¡¯t go, it¡¯s too dangerous.¡± Lu Wenle advised worriedly.

    "I will be careful, and generally it is unlikely that there will be too many mechanisms."

    Since it has already come to this point, Meng Zitao has no intention of giving up halfway. Of course, the main reason is that the intuitive sense of crisis is no longer so strong, otherwise he would have to weigh it up.

    Meng Zitao continued to walk cautiously towards the sarcophagus. This time he reached the platform without any danger. He turned back to Lu Wenle and said, "Senior brother, how about I open the sarcophagus now?"

    "Be careful."

    "clear."

    There was no mystery to the sarcophagus lid this time. Meng Zitao pushed it open easily, but the situation inside shocked him, and he thought to himself: "How is this possible!"

    Inside the sarcophagus was a neatly dressed middle-aged male corpse. This was nothing, but if the male corpse showed no signs of corruption, and except for being a bit paler, it was not much different from a living person.  As if asleep.

    I believe that when many people see this scene, they may be even more shocked than Meng Zitao.

    "Zitao, what's going on?" Lu Wenle couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw that Meng Zitao was a little stunned and still standing in front of the passage.

    Meng Zitao replied: "Senior brother, it's safe here, but you'll know when you come over and take a look."

    Lu Wenle hurriedly walked onto the platform. When he saw the male corpse in the sarcophagus, his expression was quite shocked, and there was an incredible look in his eyes.

    "This corpse can't be hundreds of years old." Lu Wenle murmured in disbelief. Because he is an expert in archeology and has seen many kinds of mummy and wet corpses, he was even more shocked by the male corpse in front of him.  , it was really hard for him to imagine how such a corpse could be preserved to this day.

    "Judging from its clothing and other aspects, it should be several hundred years old." Meng Zitao looked at the funerary objects in the sarcophagus. They were basically ancient books, which made him a little strange.

    Lu Wenle calmed down, and he also observed the situation inside the sarcophagus, and then said: "Judging from his appearance, he should be a spectator."

    "View?" Meng Zitao was slightly surprised, but immediately recalled the contents of some classics he had read.

    There is a saying in "Guoyu¡¤Chu Yuxia": "The spirit of the people does not carry the two people, but they can unite to be solemn and upright, their wisdom compares meanings up and down, their holy energy shines far and wide, their bright energy illuminates them, their  If you are smart enough to hear it clearly, then the bright spirit will come down to you. For men, it is called Guan, and for women, it is called shaman. This is to make the place where the spirit is controlled be secondary to the master, and when you sacrifice the weapon for it, you will obey it."

    Realizing that the man¡¯s corpse was actually a wizard, Meng Zitao could understand the funerary objects in the sarcophagus.

    Witches are clergy who act as intermediaries between humans and gods in religious sacrificial activities.  Ancient witches had a wide range of knowledge, many superstitions, and could cure diseases, so they also had the status of "witch doctors". There is a folk proverb in Chu: "People have no permanence, so they cannot be witch doctors."  Chu people worshiped witches, and witches had a higher status.

    Not everyone can be a shaman. In the late Spring and Autumn Period, Guan Shefu, a religious thinker of Chu State, said the above words to King Zhao Zhao of Chu. Therefore, there was a family in Chu State that regarded shamans as world officials. Recalling Guan Shefu, his ancestors  That is to say, he once did "Zuo Kai Divination" and "Divination Yin".

    In addition, the witches in Chu State are often good at medicine. "Wu Peng is a doctor, and Wu Xian is a basket." This means that witches and doctors serve two purposes in one body. Therefore, Confucius collectively called them "witch doctors". It can be seen that witches can not only communicate with gods.  Ghost, and can parasitize and die.  This is one of the reasons why there are many folk witches in Chu people.

    But correspondingly, another question popped up. Meng Zitao asked: "Brother, were there such wizards during the Song Dynasty?"

    "There are various folk goddesses and witches, but judging from the way this person is dressed, he should be an orthodox wizard from Chu State, but he has been passed down to the Song Dynasty, which is a bit rare." Lu Wenle was also confused.  Feel.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
