Ah Qi opened his mouth, obviously not believing it. Jiang Cheng carefully examined the sarcophagus, and found that the surroundings were not very tight, and it looked obvious that someone had opened it recently.
"Let's open it together." Jiang Cheng said, pointing at the two ends of the sarcophagus.
Ah Qi and Uncle Wang nodded, and the three of them opened the sarcophagus effortlessly.
The moment they opened the sarcophagus, the three of them were stunned, because they did not see the remains they expected, and it was completely empty. It looked like nothing had been left out.
"How come there is nothing here, Brother Zai," Ah Qi exclaimed.
Jiang Cheng looked at the empty coffin and the traces from the recent past, thinking that someone must have taken the remains inside. But what was the point of taking the remains away? Jiang Cheng couldn't figure it out. But he felt that it must be related to the white flower stone.
"Look what these mean, brother." Ah Qi said, pointing to some words on the lid of the sarcophagus.
Jiang Cheng looked at the lid of the sarcophagus and saw some words and pictures on it. They looked very similar to those on the stone door outside.
The painting on it is the same woman who was performing the ritual on the stone gate, but now she is tied to a cross and there are many people standing in front of her, both men and women. It is not as beautiful as the one on the gate. She looks very embarrassed.
This woman looked like she was about to be executed, with blood all over her body, and it looked very bloody.
The expressions of the people below were all ferocious and angry, and it seemed that they were attacking this woman. It was very likely that this woman was killed by these people and buried here. Even her body has disappeared.
Brother, how come it's empty? Come and see. "Aqi kept knocking on the bottom of the sarcophagus, and when he knocked on one spot, he found it was empty.
Jiang Cheng knocked at the place Ah Qi pointed and found that it was really empty. Jiang Cheng said, it seems that there must be other spaces here that have not been discovered.
Putting aside the identity of this woman, this coffin also seems to have a big problem. Jiang Cheng thought. He looked inside the coffin and didn't see anything special. After checking the entire coffin, he didn't find anything wrong.
Jiang Cheng moved his eyes to the coffin lid next to him. Now this was the only thing that might be problematic. Jiang Cheng looked at the coffin lid and found something different.
There are some bumps and holes inside the coffin lid, which seem to destroy the beauty of the entire coffin. Although this coffin is made simply and the material is not bad.
It is too precious, but the patterns on it are all luxurious and beautiful. And these pits really look incompatible with this coffin.
Moreover, Jiang Cheng looked carefully and found that these pits were extremely flat, and they did not seem to be caused by accident at all. Jiang Cheng put his hand on it and tried to press it, and found that the size of these pits fit his fingers perfectly.
Jiang Cheng tried pressing the pits again and heard a sound. "Hey? What's going on? Where did the sound come from?" Ah Qi asked, looking at Jiang Cheng's hands.
Jiang Cheng looked at the place where he had just pressed, and there was nothing unusual. Where did the sound come from? Jiang Cheng seemed a little confused.
Stand further away. I'll try again. Jiang Cheng said to Ah Qi and Uncle Wang.
"Will it be dangerous?" Ah Qi looked at Jiang Cheng and asked. There was some fear in his eyes. "No, I just want to see what will happen. If there is any danger, I will avoid it." Jiang Cheng comforted him. Ah Qi must have been traumatized by Xiao Kang's incident before. Even though Jiang Cheng said so, he did not leave. Instead, he stood stubbornly beside Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng felt a little sorry for Ah Qi, so he didn't say anything.
Jiang Cheng once again placed his hand on the hole and pressed it gently. As a result, there was another sound. Jiang Cheng listened carefully and found that the sound came from under the coffin.
Ah Qi and Uncle Wang also noticed this at this time, and both showed surprised expressions, "Down here? The sound coming from down here?" Ah Qi pointed under the coffin and said uncertainly.
Jiang Cheng nodded, and then he pressed hard, and there was a loud noise from under the coffin. The entire bottom of the coffin was opened, and it looked like a big hole.
My God, it's really magical! Ah Qi looked at the hole and exclaimed again and again. "This is really terrifying. There is nothing I don't know about this place.
Jiang Cheng looked at the big hole in front of him and felt like the sun had finally come out after all the clouds had cleared. After walking and stopping for so long and being completely unfamiliar with this place, he was still able to discover this. Jiang Cheng felt very excited and relieved.
Do you want to go in? Uncle Wang asked, looking down with an obscure light flashing in his eyes.
Go in, there must be something wrong here, do you still want to get out now? Ah Qi looked at Uncle Wang and said.
Uncle Wang didn't say anything, but he looked a little worried. I don't know what he was thinking.
"Uncle Wang? What's wrong? Don't you want to go in?" Jiang Cheng asked. He saw that Uncle Wang seemed to be worried since the hole appeared.
"No," Uncle Wang looked a little uneasy. His face looked a little bad. I think it should be very dangerous inside. So, do you want to think about it
Jiang Cheng looked at the cave. Of course, even from the outside, it was full of dangers, but the whole journey was very dangerous and uneasy. Jiang Cheng didn't quite understand what Uncle Wang was worried about.
"Uncle Wang, are you scared? If you are, you can just wait here for me and Brother Zai." Ah Qi said to Uncle Wang with a teasing look.
"How is it possible, kid?" Uncle Wang's tone was somewhat helpless and struggling, but he finally shook his head and said, "Let's go. How could I back down now?"
Let's go, Jiang Cheng said to Uncle Wang and Ah Qi.
Jiang Cheng stood right above the cave and found that he could go down a narrow staircase. At least, it seemed that he could go down there. And a road had been built for this purpose.
"There's actually a road!" Ah Qi said, "I originally thought I had to jump down.
"Come on, Uncle Wang, you and Ah Qi go down first." Jiang Cheng said to Uncle Wang and Ah Qi behind him.
Uncle Wang didn't say anything bad, he just looked at Jiang Cheng gratefully and went to the front.
"Brother, I'm the youngest, so I'll walk at the back," Ah Qi said to Jiang Cheng.
"What are you talking about? Go ahead and go ahead." Jiang Cheng pulled Ah Qi in front of him.
The three of them walked down there. It wasn't as dark and gloomy as they had imagined, but after coming down the narrow stairs, they still felt a stale and cold feeling coming towards them.
It feels more gloomy in here than outside just now, and my heart feels sore. Ah Qi said while touching his chest.
Jiang Cheng nodded. There were candles lit on the roadside and tiles on the ground. It looked more like an ancient palace. It was filled with an ancient and elegant feeling.
