Chapter 77: The Lord's Tomb
The fat man pulled away the broken brick, and when he saw that it was not open, he bumped it again.
Suddenly, a hole as big as a fist appeared in the wall. The fat man pushed it gently, and the surrounding bricks shattered, revealing a hole that could lead to people.
The fat man waved his hand at me, motioning for me to follow him, and then he walked in.
I looked at Zhang Tianyi, glanced at each other, and then both got in.
After entering, there was also a river in front of us, but it was more like a dead river. The water was also green and smelled of corpses.
What is different from the outside is that there is a four-hole arch bridge above the river. There are stools made of stones on the arch bridge, which looks very grand.
As he watched, the entire tomb suddenly lit up, and several lights on the bridge lit up instantly.
The sudden bright light made it difficult for my eyes, which had been in darkness for a long time, to adapt, and I subconsciously squinted.
After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes and looked forward.
I saw several long-bright lamps suddenly light up on the bridge, and there were grooves cut into the walls.
There are ever-burning lamps placed inside, which burn when exposed to heat. For a moment, the entire tomb can be seen.
Although the tomb is not particularly gorgeous, it is basically certain that this is the main tomb. At this time, the fat man poked me, raised his eyebrows, and said:
"Let's go up to the bridge and have a look!"
With that said, he stepped onto the arch bridge.
He looked very positive, but in fact he was just for the funerary objects inside. I shook my head helplessly, sighed, and followed him.
When I walked to the center of the arch bridge, I discovered that there were traces of later additions on the tomb wall.
I was suddenly startled and thought to myself, could this not be the main tomb? Has the main tomb been hidden again?
But I soon discovered something was wrong. There were more than one patched-on traces, and there were traces patched every two meters.
There is one every two meters, forming a circle, and the traces are as high as a person, so it is very likely that there is also a tomb inside.
Since they are all tombs, why should they be sealed? If they are redundant, why should such large traces be left?
I lowered my head and looked under the bridge. It was so turbid that I couldn't see anything in the water except green.
Just as I was thinking about it, the fat man shouted from a distance:
"Arlene! Come on, I found the coffin!"
I followed the sound and saw that the fat man had walked to the other side of the bridge at some point and was waving to me.
Next to the fat man, there was a coffin, which looked familiar. I nodded to the fat man and walked over.
When I stood next to the coffin, I suddenly discovered that this coffin was exactly the same as the one where the body parts were placed.
It's also a bronze coffin, and even the patterns and eyes on it are exactly the same.
At this time, I realized that this was the other coffin of the corpse-keeping coffin, so the person buried in it must be the owner of the tomb.
Thinking of this, I felt a little happy, but soon, I became worried.
I thought that the corpse-rearing coffin contained a monster with the body of a centaur and a kid inside, so this coffin might not be that simple.
If a little ghost pops out after opening the coffin, it really won't be able to eat it and will just walk away.
While I was thinking about it, the fat man beside me couldn’t wait any longer and asked me:
"Open the coffin! Let's see who the owner of this tomb is!"
I glared at the fat man and said:
"Can't open! This coffin is the same as the previous corpse coffin. If another kid jumps out of it, we will all die here!"
But the fat man seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit at this time. He didn't listen to me at all and replied with disdain:
"Why are you being so careful? How can there be so many eventualities in this world? You are just too scheming. Maybe when you open it, you will find gold and silver treasures? Then it will be revealed!"
When I looked at the fat man's appearance, he looked like a different person. I realized something was wrong and quickly looked at his hands.
By this time, his hands had turned black, and the fat man's mind had already been controlled by poison, so he was so impulsive.
I looked at Zhang Tianyi and pointed at the fat man's hand, indicating that he was hallucinating again.
Then Zhang Tianyi took out the dagger and asked me to grab the fat man's hand. I nodded, but before I could take action.
The fat man laughed like crazy, then took out a dagger and struck the eye on the bronze coffin.
The speed was so fast that he didn't even stop him. The next second, the bronze coffin opened with a sound, revealing the stone coffin inside.
This was not over yet. As soon as the sarcophagus came out, the fat man grabbed the lid of the coffin and pushed hard, and the coffin was opened.
Unlike the coffin for raising corpses, there was no smoke or black water coming out of this one, and there was not even the smell of corpses.
Lying in the coffin was not a centaur-like corpse, but a female corpse wearing a golden robe.
The body is covered with thick jade and hairpin jewelry. Even though it has been buried for so long, it still looks very radiant.
The face of the female corpse was even more radiant, with no trace of corruption at all. The makeup on her face was still clear and very rosy, as if she was asleep.
At this time, I suddenly thought that the owner of a tomb my father had robbed before was also a female corpse, and the corpse did not rot in this way.
I looked at the female corpse's mouth, and it seemed that there was something in her mouth. It was probably a bead. As soon as the beads were taken out, the female corpse would immediately rot.
However, at this moment, the fat man's hands instantly inserted into the treasure on the woman's body.
He laughed and shouted:
"My fat man is finally going to explode! Take these out and I'll have whatever I want!"
Seeing the fat man being so crazy, I took the opportunity to grab the fat man's hand immediately, looked back at Zhang Tianyi, and signaled him to hurry up and save the fat man.
When the fat man saw that he was caught, his expression suddenly changed, and he kept waving his hands around, trying to break free.
I tried my best to control it, but the fat man's hands were too strong, and he was poisoned like a mad cow. I couldn't control it at all, and the fat man broke free in an instant.
However, as soon as he broke free, he was grabbed by Zhang Tianyi, which was very tight. The fat man tried his best to break free several times, but it had no effect at all.
Seeing that he was still struggling, Zhang Tianyi gradually increased his strength, causing the fat man to scream in pain, and he immediately became calm.
Zhang Tianyi saw the right moment, cut his finger and dripped blood on the fat man's arm.
As soon as the drops were put on, the fat man shivered all over and fainted, as if he was possessed.
At this time, I saw that the fat man's arm gradually returned to its normal color, and the toxins were still the same as before, condensing into a black spot on the wrist.
It didn't take long for the fat man to wake up. He frowned, looked at us blankly, and asked:
"What...what's wrong is this?"
Then he rolled his eyes, pointed at the coffin suddenly, and said in shock:
"When was this coffin opened?"
However, as soon as he pointed at it, he saw Zhang Tianyi's blood on his arm.
