Chapter 157

The first one to back out was Lin Haiyang. This strange feeling made him particularly panicked. Xia Beibei was brave and now she was silent.

After discussing it, the others decided to continue moving forward. They suggested that if Lin Haiyang was too scared, he could go back to the boat and wait, or even be a backup.

"It's more scary to be on the boat alone, I'd better go with you guys." Lin Haiyang directly rejected this proposal. If he went back, he would have more crazy thoughts.

After confirming that the 66 coffins on the deck were all right, they were about to enter the cabin. Qiao Sheng turned his head and looked at the coffins whose lids they had opened. He suggested that they restore them to their original state first and then nail them shut. It just so happened that they didn't know the oxygen situation in the cabin, and it would take time to open the cabin door and ventilate.

They had just opened the coffins to look for clues, and it didn't seem right to leave the skeletons of these people exposed. The other four people also agreed with this view. After all, most people still have a sense of awe for these things.

The job of nailing the coffins is much easier than prying them open. It took less than half an hour to cover all 66 coffins with coffin nails. After cleaning up, the five people walked towards the cabin that had been open for half a day. It was pitch black inside. Several people took out their lanterns.

Su Tianci was in front, Li Muduan was behind, Xia Beibei, Lin Haiyang and Qiao Sheng stood in the middle, and Ah Dai and You Su squatted on their master's neck.

The cabin door was facing the stairs. Slowly walked down, walked a dozen steps to the corner, turned a corner and walked down a dozen steps, and then stood on the deck.

The wind lantern was raised high, but the light had a limited range. They could only see that the area near them was still full of coffins, and the air was full of the smell of rotten wood.

Group action requires a lot of communication. After a discussion, they decided to continue opening the coffins.

While prying the nails, Xia Beibei was quite curious whether the deck was too high. He raised the wind lantern and looked up, and could vaguely see a dark red mark on the top.

Lin Haiyang even asked them in a trembling voice if there was a person standing in the corner of the wall. When he said this, everyone present was startled. Su Tianci and Li Mu went over to check and found that it was a shadow. It was Lin Haiyang's wind lantern placed in front of the raised nails.

This oolong incident made everyone feel more relaxed. Lin Haiyang kept chattering. Qiao Sheng listened carefully for a while and found that this guy was not sincere at the moment. He put his hands together and chanted Namo Amitabha, and then he made a cross on his body and chanted God bless him. Soon, he changed to making a hand seal and chanting Lin Bingdouzhe marched forward.

He really chanted everything he could think of, which made others laugh and cry. You say he is not sincere, but he chanted everything correctly, even the hand gestures were correct. You say he is sincere, but he chanted a few sentences for each family.

"Lin Haiyang, if you chant like this, three families will gather above your head. If they find that you are not sincere, no one can control you." Xia Beibei was also helpless when he saw him like this.

"How would I know which family is in charge? My grandmother is a Buddhist, my second grandfather is a Taoist, and my third uncle is a Christian. I am the essence of the three families. If they are all together, they will bless us together. Hurry up and pry the nails, don't disturb me from praying to the gods." Lin Haiyang was very determined. He felt that his mixed prayers would work.

Qiao Sheng couldn't help it. He was obviously very nervous, but when these two interrupted him, his anger was greatly reduced.

After opening the coffin lid, there were still bones inside. However, there would be some burial objects in this layer of the coffin. The clothes had been rotten and could hardly be seen, but the burial objects were simply varied and dazzling, from all dynasties.

"What dynasties are there? Are we digging up the ancestral tombs? A family from ancient times to the present?" Xia Beibei's thoughts expanded so quickly.

"Based on the condition of the bones, they should have been put into the coffins at about the same time. It's impossible to be from ancient times to the present as you said." Li Mu compared the bones in several coffins.

After counting, there were half men and half women on this layer, a total of 44. Qiao Sheng always felt that there was something wrong with this number. Which family could have such a perfect number of dead people? There were 66 on the first layer and 88 on the second layer.

Others also thought of this problem. For a while, everyone fell into silence, silently covering the coffins and nailing them again.

After restoring the coffins to their original state, the five people found the stairs and continued to go down. There were only eight coffins on this floor, but the materials of the coffins were completely different from those on the upper floor.

They pried off the nails and lifted the coffin lids together. When they opened them, they saw that there were more burial objects inside, including gold, silver, and jade, and clothes on the body. After seeing the previous ones that were only bones, they were a little confused when they suddenly saw clothes.

The clothes were as thin as cicada wings and had not decayed. Obviously, the material was different, but none of the five people including Qiao Sheng reached out to touch them. Seeing that there was nothing in the coffins that could confirm the identity, they closed them again. The

remaining seven coffins were also opened and checked, and they were all similar.

After closing the coffin lid, several people stood in the open space to drink water and rest. None of them had the idea of ​​eating, as long as they were still hungry. After all, they had touched more than a hundred coffins, and they really couldn't eat without washing their hands.

While drinking water, Yousu jumped off Qiao Sheng's shoulder, walked to the wall and shouted at them. This environment, coupled with its voice, made everyone present feel numb.

In order to make it shut up quickly, several people walked over, and when the wind lamp shone on the wall, they could see the murals on the wall clearly. They were all engraved on it, and they couldn't see clearly unless they got close.

They took them to the place, and Yousu jumped onto Qiao Sheng's shoulder again, and went to that nest, motionless.

The four people began to study the wall. Lin Haiyang held a lantern and was on guard. He was very aware of the danger. Even Xia Beibei did not argue with him. She kept pulling his sleeve and led him to move forward with their pace.

When they circled the boat, they had almost seen the content of the brushstrokes on this layer of the wall.

The four people agreed on a statement based on their own understanding. It was probably a love story that started with a young princess, because the mural began with the princess kneeling to the king.

Later, the princess went to the battlefield, led the soldiers to fight, and became a female warrior who raised the country's reputation. Then the female warrior was a love-minded person and fell in love with a captive of the enemy country. The middle painting was about the love and hatred between these two people.

Then the captive should be a prince or something, who was given to the princess by the king. In the end, the prince felt humiliated and committed suicide. The goddess of war princess was always unhappy, and she died of illness in her thirties. This boat coffin was built for her by her father, the king.

The mural shows a boat crossing the river and going up to the sky. The boatman is rowing the boat, and the princess is sitting at the bow, surrounded by a group of servants. There is also a group of young women crawling at the princess' feet.

"Is this princess younger than the previous one? What does it mean? Is she using magic? Absorbing other people's energy?" Qiao Sheng compared the two paintings and found the difference.

"It should be because the women crawling on the ground are younger, which explains why there are more female skeletons than male skeletons on the top two floors. Those men are rowers, and these women, except for those who serve the princess, are the focus of making the princess younger." Su Tianci felt that only this explanation was reasonable.

Li Mu also said that the eight coffins were all women. Compared with the picture on the mural, these eight should be the eight people standing behind the princess and serving her. The women crawling on the ground should be those on the first two floors.

"I don't understand. Can't a good female warrior focus on her career? It's so great to expand the territory, but why is she a love-brained person? This sudden change in style, is it a copywriting scam? I can't accept it!" Xia Beibei really disliked this kind of thing where she had everything at the beginning and ended up being extremely humble.

Qiao Sheng couldn't understand it either. The style of the painting changed too quickly, which was unacceptable. The three men didn't have any ideas, but they thought that the more than 100 coffins on the ship should be human sacrifices, which was quite cruel.

Going down further, you don't need to think about what the situation is. The next level must be the princess's coffin. Qiao Sheng quietly checked the system for progress. It was only 30%. More than 100 coffins were opened to complete 30%. I don't know what they are busy with.

I have come to this point. It seems that I am unwilling not to continue going down. However, when the five people went down, they took out their weapons from their bags at the same time. I always feel that the last level will not be so easy.

As soon as they reached the fourth floor, several people were stunned. There was an extra-large coffin in the middle. Oil lamps were found around the cabin. There was actually oil inside. Only after lighting them could they see the cabin clearly.

Except for the large coffin in the middle, the rest of the place looked like a concubine's room, with screens, chests, tables and chairs, and a step-out bed. When they got closer, they could see that these furniture had been covered with cloth, but the cloth had all decayed, leaving only the patterns printed on the furniture.

The chests were opened while Lin Haiyang was muttering unintentionally, and they were full of gold, silver and jewelry. Three chests were opened in succession. The things inside were similar, but the styles were slightly different. They were closed after a quick glance.

"What is written on it? Is this the word death?" Xia Beibei's attention was always on this large coffin.

Everyone gathered and saw the words "Whoever sees the coffin will die" on the side of the coffin. For a moment, except for Lin Haiyang who was muttering louder, everyone else was silent.
