Chapter 179
Chapter 179 Entering the Coffin Well
"But this bronze coffin is covered with moss and rust in many places. Even if there are carvings, they are blocked! How can we see it? Do we have to scrape off all the moss?"
The fat man looked at the moss around the coffin and asked uncertainly.
Wu Xie also saw these problems, and of course he couldn't waste time cleaning the moss.
He walked to the places that were not covered by the green platform, and some carvings on them could barely be seen clearly.
The carvings on them seemed to be some giant python totems, and some kneeling figures were carved next to the totems.
This scene was obviously a sacrifice, combined with Zhu Jiuyin who jumped out from under the bronze tree.
Combined with some situations in the original book, Wu Xie guessed that perhaps one of the purposes of this bronze tree was to capture Zhu Jiuyin.
As for whether there are other uses, I don't know.
"How is it? Xiao Tianzhen, did you see anything?"
The fat man looked at Wu Xie standing in front of the bronze coffin for a long time, and couldn't help asking.
To put it bluntly, he was also very curious about what the coffin was used for? Or who was buried inside?
"The carvings on it roughly mean that some kind of sacrificial activities are being carried out, and this bronze coffin should be connected to the bronze tree below."
"Connected together? A lid on the chimney, what kind of shape is this?" Fatty's strange thoughts began to overflow again.
"No, this is a coffin well, the real main tomb chamber, inside..." Zhang Qiling rarely said a word.
"Well! Brother is right, the good stuff is inside the bronze coffin!" Wu Xie certainly knew what was inside.
"Then open it?" Fatty was attracted by what Wu Xie said, and he couldn't wait.
As Fatty said, he turned his head to look at the candle he lit, and the candle flame was still burning and had not been extinguished.
There was no ghost blowing the lantern phenomenon, and the flame was still red, proving that there was no problem and the coffin could be opened.
"Okay, open it!" Wu Xie didn't need to look, the candle knew that there would be no zongzi here! Ghosts and monsters.
However, just in case, Wu Xie still gave everyone a gas mask. No one dared to guarantee whether there would be other accidents after opening the coffin.
After all, the mask on the face has been worn for several hours, and the drug effect may have expired.
After putting on the mask and getting permission, Fatty couldn't wait to open the coffin.
But the bronze coffin was too big, and the coffin lid must be very heavy. Fatty couldn't handle it alone, and it was Wu Xie who helped to open the coffin lid.
As soon as the lid of the bronze coffin was opened, a damp and rotten smell suddenly came out.
Fortunately, they put on masks in advance, otherwise they would probably fainted by the smell.
After the odor dissipated a little, Fatty couldn't help but look into the coffin, but the coffin well was foggy and couldn't see clearly.
But he could still barely see roughly. As Wu Xie said, it was just a coffin well, empty inside.
But it was connected to another dark hole, which was the space inside the bronze tree.
"Go in?" Fatty was even more curious about what was inside because it was so mysterious.
Wu Xie didn't say much, he didn't mind, because he also wanted to see the true appearance of the huge corpse cocoon.
Fatty looked at Zhang Qiling again, and got a nod in response.
So, the three of them jumped into the coffin well one by one.
Before going in, Wu Xie and Zhang Qiling looked at each other.
After Wu Xie and the others all went in, a vague shadow also jumped in.
And after they jumped into the coffin well, they found that there were several iron chains in the wall of the bronze coffin that extended all the way to the space man under the bronze tree.
Looking down along the iron chain, there seemed to be a faint light coming out of the deep and dark cave.
Wu Xie guessed that should be the location of the corpse cocoon.
"Oh my god, what on earth is the tomb owner up to? Isn't this pure torture?"
"It took us eight to ten hours to climb the bronze tree just now. We finally reached the top after exhausting ourselves. Now we have to slide down from the inside again?"
"Although the space inside is not small, if we encounter any danger, there is no escape or hiding at all!"
After observing the circle, Fatty discovered the environment they were in.
They all had a rough idea of the depth of the bronze tree. The place where they started climbing before was not the bottom. They climbed for so many hours before reaching the top.
Now they have to slide down from the inside again, and they don't know how deep they will slide down.
The inside of this bronze tree is also equivalent to a cliff of ten thousand feet. If you fall down accidentally, there will be no meat residue left.
And according to Wu Xie's guess, the bottom of this bronze tree may not reach the center of the earth. To exaggerate, it may reach the palace of the king of hell.
Of course, Wu Xie also knew that they didn't have to slide down all the time, after all, the corpse cocoon was stuck not far below.
Looking at the light from the corpse cocoon, Wu Xie suddenly remembered that after being washed down by the Yellow Spring Waterfall, he seemed to have entered a mysterious world.
He felt that everything that happened there had really existed before, as if it was a scene he had personally experienced.
But at that time, Wu Xie could not see clearly what was in the corpse cocoon. Was it the same corpse cocoon in the coffin well now?
Why did it appear here again? Could it be that the place in the mysterious world is also here? These are all things Wu Xie couldn't figure out.
Are there two corpse cocoons?
Now Wu Xie is a little confused. Does the corpse cocoon exist in reality? Or is it materialized by the bronze tree?
Wu Xie is almost confused now. He dare not think about it anymore. He is afraid that if he thinks about it, he will even doubt whether he is a real person.
Perhaps this is the mystery and horror of the bronze tree, which makes people confuse reality with dreams.
And according to the special ability of the bronze tree, perhaps here, dreams and reality may really be reversed in an instant.
It is better not to think too much, otherwise, no one knows what uncontrollable factors will happen.
"What Fatty said makes sense, pay special attention to safety."
"The most important thing in the entire ancient tomb should be below. It's already the final step. It's impossible to go back now."
"Fatty, be careful, and be careful not to think too much here."
Wu Xie had to remind Fatty again that he couldn't figure out the strange ability of the bronze tree for a while.
It is better to avoid unknown things.
I was prepared before entering the coffin well, and there is nothing to prepare now.
I grabbed the iron chain extending downward and slid down. Maybe it was damp here for a long time, and there was a lot of moss on the iron chain, which was slippery and slid down very quickly.
But the faint light was too ethereal to measure the distance.
I don’t know if it was tens of meters, hundreds of meters or thousands of meters below the coffin well.
Or maybe the light was a trap, a bait to lure the enemy deeper.
