Chapter 437 The person in the coffin (second update)
"After the mountain is halfway up, there are stone steps. It can be seen that they come here on weekdays, but they come down from above and only walk halfway. I looked and saw that it was above the coffin. I felt that there was It is convenient to adjust the height of the coffin, or add something to the coffin, so that the blue fire can continue to burn. I went up the stone steps and saw a secret door. It looked like a secret door, but we definitely couldn't open it. I I pushed a little harder, but the secret door didn’t budge at all.”

"The secret door is at the top?" Xu Da asked.

Wu Chen shook his head:

"This is also what I don't understand. There is still some distance from the secret door to the top, but there are no grooves for climbing on that part of the mountain, and it is very smooth. I thought there is a secret door on this side, and elsewhere. Is there also one? I looked around, and there was only a secret door in that place. I went back to the stone steps. There were no guardrails on the stone steps and they were not wide. I walked on them... If there is a trap on any step... , will definitely fall! I quickly fell back to the bottom of the stone steps. Fortunately, I can use force in the opposite direction in the air, otherwise..."

"Is there a blade down there?" Gu You asked with a frown.

"It looked like flat ground below, not even mummies. Maybe it was because of my own strength when I came down. When I got close to the ground, two door panels suddenly appeared on the ground and retracted inward. I could only forcefully take off and land there. Next to the mechanism, when I lowered my head, I saw that there were densely packed sharp knives inside..."

"You didn't destroy it?" Xing Yun asked.

"Destroyed! It was just a slap of the hand on impulse. The sharp knife below was bent, but the stone steps on the mountain were also retracted."

"Ah?!" Several people said in unison.

"You can touch the wall and it's freezing cold. If you really want to climb up, there is nothing in your hands. If you can't hold on for a while, you won't be able to bear it anymore."

"Do you want to go back to the shore the way you came?" Xing Yun took a step back and asked.

Wu Chen snorted and said:

"Even if I wanted to, those people wouldn't let it go! Let's not talk about the current time. The water ghosts will not just sink to the bottom of the water. It will be a problem for you to get out. Even if we can wait until noon tomorrow... you may not have noticed when we came in. Yes, water ghosts cannot enter the cave. There may be some talisman, but as long as the talisman is lifted, the water ghosts can enter the cave. We were able to swim in before because the distance was short. We are fast. If the water ghosts are waiting in the cave, There is no sunlight...how can you get out?"

"This, are we going to starve to death here?" Xu Da asked.

Wu Chen walked towards the steps and said as he walked: "I'll go down first to see if it's as I expected. I don't think they can stop us by building a gate. They can only let the water ghosts in."

A few people looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't speak.

Soon Wu Chen came up again.

Just by looking at Wu Chen's face, they knew that there were already water ghosts in the water in the cave below.

"Is there no way out?" Xing Yun fell to the ground.

"If you hit the mountain with all your strength..."

Before Xu Da finished asking, Wu Chen waved his hand and said: "Let's not mention that we don't know what is outside the mountain now. Even if we open it, there is a way out. Not to mention you, even I can't escape the falling rocks."

Gu You asked unwillingly: "Is there no other exit here? I don't believe it!"

"I don't believe it either!" Wu Chen said lazily: "If it were an iron wall and we couldn't get out when we entered, there would be no need for them to use mummies and Yin soldiers to deal with us. The main reason for doing this is that they can Not only can we go out, but we can also go to places they don’t want us to go.”

Xing Yunteng stood up and said:
"I think what you said makes sense! If there is really no other way out, we can't be trapped like this. It only takes two or three days. Let alone mummies, just anyone can kill us. If we just want to let Let’s die, they don’t even need to send anyone, they can just wait a few days, and you will be dead by then, aren’t they able to take the washing ink in your hands just as they want?”

"Perhaps it really can't be taken away." Wu Chen raised his wrist and looked at it and said, "Even after I die, they can't find Ximo even if they cut open my arm. What does it mean to recognize the master? I will never leave you!" "Then..."

Xing Yun saw Wu Chen winking at him and stopped asking.

"Unless I take it off voluntarily, no one can take it away." Wu Chen said and looked around, staring at the copper coffins.

"What are you going to do? Didn't you say before that opening the coffin was useless?" Xing Yun asked.

"Yeah, I thought it was useless at first, but now I think about it, if we disturb their ancestors, do they have to intervene for a while? We can't just ignore it, right?" Wu Chenjiao smiled and walked towards the copper coffin: "Which one should I open first? "

Several people followed Wu Chen to the nearest copper coffin. Xu Da asked: "Are there any differences among these dozen copper coffins?"

"What's the point of looking for differences now? Since we are ancestors, there is no distinction between big and small, just open one!" Xing Yun pulled out his long sword and was eager to try.

Wu Chen raised his hand to stop him and said, "You can't do it. Give me the sword. You retreat to a distance and wait. If anything happens after the coffin is opened, you won't be able to bear it."

Xing Yun quickly handed the sword to Wu Chen and disappeared into the darkness.

Xu Da asked worriedly: "If there are arrows and crossbows inside..."

"How could they put a mechanism in the coffin if they didn't expect today?" Wu Chen said and lowered his head: "What I'm most worried about now is Brother Big Tou. If he senses that I'm in danger and goes crazy, Yu Shi'an may have to force Crossing the river, fortunately the mountain road is some distance from the river, and it is not that easy to get down. We must get out before they get into the river!"

"I understand, you have to use what the people of Shuangxi Village care about most to force them to submit. You should be careful!" Xu Da patted Wu Chen on the shoulder and walked away with Gu You and Lao Er.

Wu Chen looked at the coffin and whispered: "I didn't want to disturb your purity, but your descendants are so sinister and vicious that I had no choice but to do it..."

"They are not my descendants. I hope my benefactor will take action earlier."

This sentence came out from the coffin, and Wu Chen's hair stood up.

"Hurry up, Tiangang will come out soon, and you will only die here."

"Who are you? What is Tiangang?" Wu Chen asked warily.

"You talk too much, open the coffin quickly!"

"I won't!" Wu Chen's stubborn temper suddenly came to his head: "How long have you been lying in this coffin? It's not a short time, right? Even if I open the coffin, how will you come out? How will you leave? You said Tiangang will come out in a while I will die, so how can you protect yourself?"

"I...I have my own way. You only need to open the coffin. As long as I go out, it will be useless for anyone to come. I can still save your life."

"Can you still save my life?" Wu Chen said with a smile: "Well, first tell me who you are and what abilities you have, and then I will see if you are qualified to save me."
