Golden Coffin

  All that was seen was that wall seemed to come alive, slowly rotating the gears, and finally, the huge stone monument tilted thirty degrees.

  A hail of stones of all sizes came crashing down on my head. If I hadn't dodged, I would probably have been killed by the falling rocks.

  "It's no good, if that wall collapses, the outside is all water, it's probably a dead end." Zhao Si said with a pale face. He had mentioned before that there was a central button in the main hall that was the switch to divert the floodwaters. Judging from Ye's family rushing over here so anxiously just now, the main hall must have been flooded by now.

  There was no switch around, and Qiu Bo had already checked it out. The exit led to the main hall, and both roads were dead ends.

  Both groups of people forgot about the fight and were attracted by this sudden sound. Especially that Yan, his face looked a bit ugly.

  Even Qi Xie's face showed a hint of fear, and I was shocked in my heart. What kind of predicament is this that even Qi Xie is afraid? To think that along the way, despite all the dangers, I had never seen Qi Xie reveal such an expression before.

  Immediately afterwards, a huge echo sounded in the entire tomb chamber, and the giant stone monument actually tilted to sixty degrees. A small beam of light shot out, opening another tomb.

  Originally thought this was a complete tomb, but who knew that behind the stone tablet, there was a strong light emanating from it, and on top of it was a huge elliptical shape of glowing stone, upon closer inspection, it turned out to be jade.

  If it weren't for the light being too dazzling, it would be like the sun at noon. Who knows that the high-quality jade emits a deep and dark color, that's truly priceless. But now, that unpolished raw jade is emitting strong radiation. If you put a small piece of this kind of jade next to your pillow, within two or three years, you will definitely die.

  "What the heck is that? A thousand-year-old rice dumpling?" Little Skinny Monkey said, poking his head out and tilting it to one side with a look of astonishment on his face.

  "Where is it?" I rubbed my eyes, but still didn't see what the thin monkey was talking about. Thousand-year-old zongzi should look like a human figure, right? At least, there should be some shadow. Looking around, nothing was seen at all.

  "Behind the stone pedestal." The thin monkey pointed in that direction, looking somewhat fearful.

  "I saw it, and it seemed like there were bugs on it, a dense swarm of bugs." I suddenly felt a bit dizzy, those dense swarms of bugs above my head looked very nauseating.

  "Ye's family, hurry up and shine the light over here." Shou Bo shouted at them.

  A strong light shook the past, and I saw that on the huge coffin were some densely packed insects. My heart sank as I saw those insects slowly moving, as if they were about to wake up. I don't know if it was under the urging of the light, but those insects fell off at a visible speed, just like a snake shedding its skin.

  At the same time, all of us forgot about everything around us, except for Qi Xie. He swiftly darted in with a flash of his figure, and by the time the Ye family reacted, Yan Bozi let out a loud roar: "Quickly stop that little brat, don't let him get that thing!"

  At this time, Ye Jia's young master and Lao Miao immediately chased after them, while Hei Shu and Bai Shou Sheng also quickly caught up.

  Who was the first to arrive there, of course, after Qi Xie went in, he disappeared from view.

  I, Lao San, and Qiu Bo supported each other as we walked forward. We only saw Lao Miao and Hei Shu standing there; the rest of the people were nowhere to be seen.

  "Hei Shu, where have they gone?" I asked in surprise.

  I clearly saw them all coming in, but after we came in, there was no one left.

  That coffin-shaped thing, after the dense insects on its head fell off, revealed a layer of yellow light, like shining gold.

  "Finally saw the golden coffin." Qiubao looked at that thing, his expression somewhat sorrowful, and forced himself to say something that shocked me extremely.

  Golden coffin?

  That is the golden coffin.

  I gazed at the coffin with a golden glow, and my eyes had a complex color.

  I heard Qiu Bo mention this golden coffin before, but he left a message and didn't say anything.

  But I knew what he didn't say must be very important or terrifying.

  "I haven't seen them since I arrived here, and can't find any mechanism around." The thin monkey poked his head out from behind a stone pillar, looking somewhat annoyed. He had entered ahead of us by one step.

  Behind this giant stone monument, a large tomb chamber was hidden, which should be the main tomb.

  "Old Temple, where is the young master?" In the tomb chamber, after searching for a while without finding anything suspicious, Yan Bo's face looked unpleasant as he asked Old Temple who was standing still beside him.

  The old temple stood there motionless, as if it hadn't heard Yan's words and didn't respond.

  The tomb chamber has always revealed a strange and gloomy atmosphere, with visible stone pillars everywhere, about two meters high, in the middle of which is placed a large stone platform, on top of which is a huge golden coffin.

  Although it was an ordinary tomb, because Qiu Bo said that it was a golden coffin, it added a few points of mystery, and there was a thread of unimaginable fear.

  The thin monkey jumped beside Hei Shu and asked him in confusion, "You came in before me, where did they go?"

  Hei Shu stood next to Lao Miao, both of them as still as Buddhist statues, not responding to Xiao Shou Hua's words, as if they hadn't heard him.

  "Hello..."

  The little monkey let out a loud cry and turned its head, looking like Hei Shu at the time. The whole person suddenly jumped out several meters away, crying out "They..."

  His voice was tinged with a hint of fear, as if he had been scared out of his wits.

  The little monkey rarely made such a big fuss, I was startled and asked, "What's wrong with them?"

  Yan Ye was a little faster than me, his gaze at the old temple was somewhat unbelievable, and his face suddenly became very unsightly.

  I hobbled over, and when I saw Hei Shu's face, I was like a little monkey, not even noticing the wound on my leg, and fell to the ground. My hand happened to be pressing against the injured foot, and a hot flow came out from my leg, hurting so much that I gritted my teeth.

  I couldn't believe what I saw, that smiling mouth corner, with a hint of eerie atmosphere, but the most eerie thing was those eyes, which were all white, like a dead fish belly up.

  Are both of them dead?

  How did he die?

  Possessed by a ghost?

  Is it still the curse of the golden coffin?

  "How can it be like this again?" Old Qiao shook his head vigorously, his old face filled with incredulity and a deep-seated fear in his eyes.

  My intuition tells me that Qiu Bo knows what's going on. Does he know why Hei Shu became like this?

  "Damn it, I don't believe this thing, I must see if this golden coffin is really that divine." Yan Bo suddenly seemed to understand what had happened, his face ashen and resolute, holding a small knife in his hand, he took steps towards the stone pedestal.

  Isn't there really some kind of curse? What's inside the golden coffin?

  I hastily scrambled up from the ground, ignoring the pain in my feet, and followed everyone towards the stone pedestal.

  "You say, is it a corpse or treasure inside?" Little Skinny Monkey's face was full of excitement, completely forgetting what had just happened.

  I let out a sigh, they say women are changeable, it seems this little brat's mother is also very good at changing too.

  "Just take a look and you'll know." I glared at him, my gaze fixed tightly on the golden coffin on the stone pedestal.

  As I got closer to the golden coffin, my footsteps became heavier, cold sweat broke out on my forehead, and a chill wind suddenly blew over, causing me to shudder and involuntarily unbutton my clothes.

  "What the...! How strange and eerie! Where did this wind come from in the tomb?" I said fearfully.

  "You didn't mention it, I almost forgot. Coming here, I can clearly feel the heat. It seems that the temperature has already exceeded 20 degrees." Xiao Shou Hou took off his jacket, with an extremely vigilant expression.

  The three of us stepped closer to the stone pedestal, and with each step forward, I felt like the scorching summer sun was shining on me. I took off my black overcoat just like a little monkey shedding its skin.

  As we walked down to the stone platform, our clothes were stripped off until only the innermost layer was left, and sweat was dripping from our foreheads, as if we were in a furnace.

  Yan stretched out his hand, but before he could touch the coffin lid, it was kicked open. A strong gust of air burst out, and in an instant, I realized something terrible had happened. I shouted, "Get down!"
