People are in the comprehensive tomb, unloading the mountain and stealing the chief

Chapter 618: Western Zhou Ancient Coffin
It was a coffin, a baby coffin carved with two phoenixes, about the size of a violin case.

This small coffin is hung in the middle of the tomb, and you can't see it at all unless you look up.

Through the light of the searchlight, Chen Ziyan quickly discovered that there were many unusual holes on the coffin. Judging from the edges of the holes, it did not look like natural damage, but rather it was intentional destruction.

Especially the largest hole, which almost destroyed one-third of the side wall of the coffin.

When he saw these holes, Chen Ziyan immediately thought of the child's footprints he had seen before. If things went as expected, those footprints covered with corpse wax should have been left by the things that came out of the child's coffin.

"Could the things in the coffin escape?" A guy with quick thinking also thought of this.

"Well, look at the ground." Chen Ziyan nodded, then pointed to the position directly below the coffin and said.

If you look closely, you will find that the color of the tomb bricks at that location is darker than other places. It seems that something has flowed down from the hole in the coffin above.

Considering the golden nanmu coffin they had just opened, it was not difficult to imagine what flowed out of the coffin.

"The footprints we saw earlier should have been left by the things in this coffin." Dong Yanxia said in a low voice.

With so much evidence before us, the answer naturally emerged.

"Let's go back to the tomb we were just in." Chen Ziyan had no intention of continuing this topic and said directly.

The situation inside this tomb chamber is not complicated. Apart from the child's coffin, which is also made of golden nanmu wood, there are only some funerary objects in the corner.

As for the pool in the center of the tomb, Chen Ziyan guessed that it should be the passage leading to the tomb they came in. Even if it leads to other places, it certainly won't be the way to go deep into the ancient tomb, so there is no need to explore it for the time being.

Instead of wasting time here, it would be better to explore the remaining tombs.

If he was right, the corridor behind them should have been replaced again.

Although it has not been verified yet, after these two changes, Chen Ziyan has more or less figured out the operating rules of the "elevator" mechanism in the underwater tomb.

The facts did not go beyond Chen Ziyan's expectations. When they walked out of the stone gate, the corridor in front of them had indeed changed its appearance again, returning to the same appearance they saw at the beginning. The corridor was filled with those special lotus arrows.

Because they had experienced this once before, no one was too surprised this time. In fact, not only Chen Ziyan had expected this, but others were also mentally prepared for it.

Stepping on arrows and walking through the corridor, Chen Ziyan and his companions entered the tomb chamber opposite. This was also a circular tomb chamber, but it was much larger than the one opposite.

There is a pool in the center of the tomb, in which something similar to a bathtub is floating.

The thing rested quietly in the middle of the pool, covered with strange drawings and reliefs.

Although the shape is very strange, just by looking at the carvings on it, you can tell that it is also a coffin.

"The owner of this tomb is quite interesting. He built his coffin to look like a bathtub. He must have loved taking baths when he was alive." One of the guys joked.

"What's the matter? You can't let people enjoy themselves." As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately took over the conversation.

The series of events that have happened since entering the tomb have made everyone feel a little depressed, and they now urgently need to relieve some stress.

Chen Ziyan also understood this logic, so he did not stop him, but picked up the flashlight and walked to the pool.

After looking at the strangely shaped coffin with the help of the light, Chen Ziyan fell into thought.

He recognized this type of basin coffin, which was mostly from the Warring States Period and definitely not from the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, the relief on it was obviously some kind of totem, which was undoubtedly another piece of evidence.

So he was sure that Wang Zanghai had probably obtained it from somewhere else.
What Chen Ziyan couldn't figure out now was where Wang Canghai got this from. There was no such thing in the ancient tombs he knew.

After thinking for a while without getting an answer, Chen Ziyan had to put the matter aside for the time being and began to observe the situation in the pool.

He remembered that there was a mechanism inside the pool that could reveal a path leading to a deeper depth.

But no matter how hard Chen Ziyan looked, he couldn't find the mechanism to open the door. In the end, he could only attribute it to the fact that his steps were wrong.

If it was a simple mechanism, he could still give it a try, but the mechanism in this pool involved the art of divination, which was completely beyond his ability. So after much thought, he decided that he should follow the steps in his memory, which would definitely be faster than trying to crack it himself.

After making up his mind, Chen Ziyan led others to explore the two nearby tombs, but they didn't find anything.

The two tombs next to it only contained some burial objects, which had long been corroded by humid water vapor, so they were of no value.

"Master Chen, what should we do next?" Seeing that they had walked through three tombs but still could not find the way to the main tomb, a waiter could not help but ask.

"Let's go back to the tomb chamber opposite and turn it back to the other side." Chen Ziyan already had a plan for this, so he directly told her his plan.

"Master Chen, have you discovered the pattern of changes here?" Dong Yanxia couldn't help but ask.

It was not difficult to understand the meaning behind Chen Ziyan's words. He was obviously confident that this place could be transformed back to its previous state with the coffin.

"I have some clues. If I'm not mistaken, the key to the problem should be us." Chen Ziyan nodded first, then explained: "In order to ensure that the mechanism can operate for a long time, the ancients often used local materials. For example, in the underwater tombs we are in now, most of the mechanisms are made of water and stone as the main materials. So I think the operation of the mechanism behind it may be related to the weight of the tomb chamber."

"Weight?" Dong Yanxia thought for a moment and said, "So the tomb we are in has not changed, but other areas have changed."

"Yes, that's the truth." Chen Ziyan nodded.

To put it bluntly, the mechanism in the underwater tomb is not complicated. After all, a mechanism that is too complicated would not have survived until now.

"So that's how it is." Dong Yanxia nodded in agreement. He felt that what Chen Ziyan said made sense.

At this time, everyone else also understood. In fact, some things may be difficult to figure out on your own, but with the guidance of others, you will quickly figure them out.

The mechanism for switching back and forth between the tomb chambers falls into this category.

"Let's go. We'll know whether it's really as I said by seeing whether the corridor changes later." After Chen Ziyan finished speaking, he took the initiative to walk towards the tomb door.

But before he walked out, he heard a waiter remind him, "Master Chen, we haven't looked at the coffin in the pool yet!"

Chen Ziyan said without even turning his head: "Let's put this coffin aside for now. It's not suitable to open it now."

Although he was not sure where the coffin came from, there was one thing he was sure of, that was it was a coffin from at least the Western Zhou Dynasty.

It would be fine if the things inside didn't come to life, but as long as there is this sign, it would definitely be a time bomb, so Chen Ziyan is not in a hurry to open the coffin.

He planned to wait until the mechanism of the pool was opened and the water inside was drained before studying this strange ancient coffin.

At that time, even if there really were old zombies inside, they would not be restricted by the terrain and would be able to deal with it more calmly.
