Chapter 813: Tomb of Sima Cuo

After hearing what Concubine Li said, I was immediately shocked. I looked up and saw a cave entrance not far in front of us.

However, it was pitch black outside the cave entrance. I could hardly see my hand in front of me. Let alone an ancient tomb, I would believe it if you said it was the underworld.

"What's going on? Why is there no eternal lamp in Sima Cuo's ancient tomb?" I frowned, looking suspicious.

In the ancient tomb on the back mountain of our village, especially in the main tomb chamber, there are dozens or even hundreds of eternal lamps burning. These eternal lamps are all prepared by special methods. The lamp oil is Jiao fish oil, which can burn for thousands of years without extinguishing.

"Could it be that the person who entered here before extinguished the eternal lamp?"

I glanced at Concubine Li and said, "You go out first."

"Ah?" Concubine Li looked bitter when she heard this: "Good brother, I, I am just a guide. It's so dark here. I, I am scared!"

"Are you afraid of the dark or of death?" After I finished speaking, I put the Soul-Slaying Knife on his neck again. He shuddered all over and waved his hands hurriedly, saying, "I'll go, I'll go, good brother, don't scare me."

After he finished speaking, he swallowed his saliva, turned around, and walked slowly towards the cave entrance as if walking on thin ice.

After arriving at the cave entrance, Concubine Li began to hesitate again. Seeing this, I stepped forward and kicked him on the butt, kicking him directly down.

I heard a cry of pain, and then Concubine Li complained: "My dear brother, you are going to kill me."

"Is it very high?" I came to the cave entrance and looked down.

Although the ancient tomb was pitch black, my eyes had already adapted to the darkness in the cracks. At this moment, although I couldn't see the whole picture of the ancient tomb, I could easily see some outlines.

The cave entrance where I was at the moment was not high from the ground of the tomb, about two meters, and right below the cave entrance was the burial pit. In the burial pit, there were neatly arranged terracotta warriors, and Concubine Li was sitting in the square formation of the terracotta warriors, rubbing her buttocks.

The next second, there was a scream, and Concubine Li shrank back suddenly, shouting in horror: "What the hell is this!"

"Terracotta Warriors." I said coldly, but I didn't jump directly, but squinted my eyes and looked carefully.

Sima Cuo's tomb seemed to be about the same size as Li Xin's tomb in the back mountain of our village, and the number of terracotta warriors was not much different, probably about tens of thousands.

And the layout of the tomb was basically the same, even the carriage on the high platform was exactly the same as the one in Li Xin's tomb.

About five meters in front of the carriage was a pool, and this pool was the corpse-raising pool.

But there was one thing that was very strange, that was Sima Cuo's coffin, which was actually suspended in the air.

"Why is the coffin suspended in the air?" I looked at it carefully with a suspicious look on my face, and found that the huge coffin was suspended by several iron chains, which extended to the darkness above my head. Although I couldn't see where they extended to, I thought they must be embedded in the golden ceiling of the ancient tomb.

And there were several bronze mirrors hanging around the coffin. I looked carefully and found that there were four bronze mirrors in total, distributed at the four corners of the coffin, and each one was as big as a washbasin. There seemed to be something painted on the mirror surface of the bronze mirror, but I couldn't see what it was.

"What do these four bronze mirrors mean?"

I was a little confused when I saw this.

As we all know, bronze mirrors have the function of warding off evil spirits, and hanging coffins is generally used to prevent corpse transformation in Feng Shui, because when the coffin is hung up, it cannot contact the earth's energy, and zombies rely most on the earth's energy, so hanging the coffin in the air can prevent corpse transformation, or it can weaken the zombies that have already transformed in the coffin.

However, the reason why Sima Cuo was buried here is to wake up from the coffin one day?

And such a layout obviously goes against the original intention.

"Could it be... someone tampered with it? Who could it be?" I frowned, but the next second, my eyes were suddenly attracted by several terracotta warriors not far away.

I saw that these terracotta warriors were not arranged neatly in a square formation, but broke away from the square formation. Moreover, their postures were very strange. They were holding a rusty ancient sword in an attacking posture.

It felt as if they were fighting with someone in the previous second, but in the next second, they were instantly petrified and turned into a terracotta warrior. There

were also rubbles scattered around the terracotta warrior. I squinted my eyes and took a closer look, and then my heart skipped a beat.

What kind of rubbles were there? They were clearly the remains of the terracotta warriors that were smashed by brute force!

"There was a fight here!" I squinted my eyes, and the expression on my face became more and more solemn.

The reason why I wanted to enter this mausoleum was, firstly, to temporarily avoid the siege of the Hundred Flowers Alliance, and secondly, to see how this mausoleum was different from the mausoleum in the back mountain of our village, and whether there were any unusual movements of the sleeping terracotta warriors and Sima Cuo in the mausoleum.

The third reason... was my guess!

As everyone knows, Xie Tianxiang and the Soul Guiding Old Man are the best at refining substitute puppets.

And what this ancient tomb lacks the most is the terracotta warriors, and each of the terracotta warriors here was carefully selected in ancient times to be able to fight ten or even a hundred enemies at once. If the souls sealed in these terracotta warriors can be extracted, then the remaining body shells will undoubtedly be the best materials for refining substitute puppets.

So I wanted to come in and see if the Soul Guiding Old Man and the Evil Celestial Phenomenon had done so.

However, as of now, it seems that they had not.

However, it is not ruled out that they wanted to do so, but encountered some resistance, such as being unable to extract the souls sealed in the terracotta warriors, or... being injured by the revived terracotta warriors, and having no choice but to retreat first.

"Hey, my good brother, when are you coming down? I, I'm so scared!"

Concubine Li's voice came from the darkness. I looked down and saw that he was curled up in the corner, trembling with fear as he looked at the terracotta warriors around him.

I smiled coldly at the sight, then took a deep breath, lightly tapped my toes, and the whole person jumped up and landed steadily on the high platform where the carriage was.

When I landed on the platform, I immediately saw a deep mark under my feet.

I squatted down and took a look, and my heart skipped a beat.

This mark was square and almost the same size as the coffin above my head.

It was as if... this coffin was originally placed here, and after thousands of years of pressure, the traces were left.

"This coffin was indeed tampered with!"
