Master Liang waved his hand, indicating that this was not clear, but he said that there were not as few fifth-grade officials in the Qing Dynasty as I thought. Most of the sword-carrying guards in the palace were fifth-grade, and there were thousands of them. The number of visitors, including those from various palaces and all special units, far exceeds that here. Besides, we haven't opened all the coffins here, and we can't be sure that all the corpses in the coffins have peacock feathers.

The Manchus do not have the custom of burial in caves. These people probably went through a lot of trouble to move the corpses here. If it is true as Master Liang said, such a large-scale war-related massacre must be to cover up some dangerous acts. Thousands of people here had no idea what they saw or heard, and it was wiped out by someone in power.

Master Liang said that there is another layer of Qing Dynasty ancient tombs under the Thousand Coffins Cave. Maybe the secret is there. After all, there are only a few layers of blue bricks in the two places. No one believes it is a coincidence. If you want to know more details, you can only enter Let’s talk about it in the ancient tomb.

Of course, this assumes that we can reach the entrance of the ancient tomb.

After listening to what he said, I felt more and more mysterious that the ancient tomb below was mysterious and unpredictable. Master Liang was really impressed by the torches, and told me some allusions very briefly. However, I had never heard of them. At this time, Lao Itch came to greet me again. We hit the road, and I didn’t want to waste any more words, so I told Master Liang as we walked. The three of us got up and stepped on the broken coffin and human bones to another path.

At this time, we have determined that the corpses here are completely rotten, and there is no need to be taboo about those coffins, so we no longer follow the order of the coffins, but rely on the compass on the master's watch to look at the surrounding terrain. Thinking of a shortcut to break through this coffin formation easily and cost-effectively.

While observing from the top of the cliff, I remembered that our destination was on one side of the entire circular cave. One side is close to the cave wall, so as long as we step over these coffins and walk forward along the cave wall, there is absolutely no problem getting there. However, we are in the formation now. If we still follow the coffins and walk back to the cliff , maybe there will be more troubles, so it is better to make a prompt decision. Just climb over the coffin walls here one after another, and you can still do it a little bit.

At that moment, Master Liang was asked to hold the torch. We took the lead, stepped on the coffins on the side, and walked towards the edge of the cave. When we encountered worn-out coffins along the way, we would directly push them down, and the well-preserved ones would be lifted and put aside. It didn't take much effort to forcefully open a passage horizontally in the maze of the coffin array.

When we were carrying the coffin, because the bottom of the coffin was the most rotten, the corpse inside would often leak out when we lifted it. As we walked and studied, we found that these people were wearing official robes and silk clothes when they died. Everything here has turned black and moldy, but occasionally you can still distinguish the lines on it. Master Liang looked at it and marveled, saying that the people here were all wearing military attaché uniforms, and they looked like they were all soldiers.

In addition to these, sometimes there will be several nests of small mice, all of which are very big. In order to avoid causing trouble, we ignore them all.

The weird thing is,

After passing through six or seven coffin walls, there was still no sign of the end in front of me. I couldn't help but wonder, could it be that walking like this, I still can't escape this maze of coffins? At this time, it was difficult to get off the tiger, and the three of them felt uneasy, so they had to go on bravely.

After walking for another ten minutes with our heads covered, the cave wall finally appeared in front of us. At this time, the torch was very weak. The small burning head was only half the size of a fist. Our visible range was also reduced to an indescribable size. Master Liang did the math. Orientation told us that if we estimate according to the direction, the open space should be around us, but we don't know which direction.

I raised the torch, hoping to shine farther, but the surrounding area seemed dim. Lao Itch said don't rely on torches at this time. We still have high technology. He took out the flare gun and raised his hand to his head. Just one shot.

A meteor-like signal shot up into the sky. I looked up subconsciously, waiting for it to start burning. Unexpectedly, the meteor was flying, and suddenly it made a snap, bounced, and fell straight down.

When I saw it, I let out an oops, thinking to myself, you idiot, you have forgotten that this is a cave. If you send a signal straight up, you will hit the roof of the cave before it starts burning.

The signal flew down and exploded with a bang until it almost hit the ground. This is the phosphorus pentoxide signal used by the expedition team. It can burn for about 50 seconds. The initial ignition temperature is very high. When I saw it lifted off the ground From the distance, I knew it was going to be bad. Sure enough, just a few seconds after it landed, the side was already on fire.

I kicked Lao Itchi and scolded him for being brainless. Fortunately, the coffins here are very moist, otherwise we would have to run back to put out the fire right now. Before I finished speaking, Master Liang clapped my hand and shouted: "Grandpas, this time is going to be bad!"

I looked back and saw that where the small flame had just started, a wall of fire suddenly sprang up. Unbelievably, this wall of fire was spreading along the path between the coffins at an alarming speed. For a while, I could only see a wall of fire running close to the ground. The fire dragon wandered in the pitch-black cave. Wherever it went, the coffins on both sides of the path made no sound of exploding.

When Master Liang saw this, his face turned pale. He hurriedly knelt down and picked up a handful of dirt from the ground. After smelling it, he shouted: "Fire oil!" Fire oil has been poured into the mud!

When I heard this, I was shocked. I knelt down and pinched the soil. Sure enough, it was true. I quickly asked Lao Itch to put out the torch. I felt so cold in my heart. I didn't expect that there was such a powerful move hidden in the coffin array. It’s a miracle that nothing happened along the way. If we had accidentally dropped the torch just now, grandpa and us would have been burned to ashes.

The fire dragon in the distance showed no signs of slacking off. I don’t know when it split into two paths. The flames shot up as high as a person, illuminating the hole brightly for a short time. I took a quick look and found that I could finally see the pattern here clearly. I could see the entire The Thousand Coffins Array is accessible to all channels. It is not a big place. There are coffins of different colors in several places. It seems to be a mechanism used to create illusions in the dark, but the paths in it are connected together. Sooner or later, this fire dragon will burn Those who come to our place must find a place to escape.

I looked around anxiously and saw that the sunken open space was actually about ten meters to our left, but a wall of fire had been separated in the middle, but the soil inside was not burned. It seemed to be a good place to take refuge. At this time The fire dragon was already rushing towards us, and there was no time to think about it. I shouted to them: Don't look around here, the pit is over there! Damn it, rush over and go down to the underground palace to talk about it! !

The two of them reacted, stepped on the coffin and rushed towards the open space. I didn't know that I still had the potential to hurdle. I was able to cross the coffin that was less than two meters away. In just a few seconds, I was already Arriving in front of the wall of fire, a wave of scorching hot air hit my face.

I wanted to rush over with all my strength, but as soon as I got close to the wall of fire, I smelled the smell of burning hair. I hesitated and wanted to stop. Unfortunately, I had great inertia and tried to brake but couldn't. I had to scream and close my eyes. I jumped over, but fortunately I was fast enough, but I felt my body was hot and I rolled to the ground. I rolled over to put out the fire on Xi's body, and then Lao Itch and Master Liang rushed over, rolling down one after another to put out the fire.

At this time, I already knew why the ground here sank. It turned out that the surface oil and soil had been shoveled away. I rolled and didn't have time to take a closer look. Lao Itch had already screamed and rolled to my side.

I hurriedly took off my coat and helped extinguish the fire on Lao Itch's body. I helped him up and saw that he was fine, but his eyebrows were burned. When I turned around, I saw Master Liang rolling around, but the fire on his body was not there. I thought it was probably because he fell on the ground and his clothes were stained with kerosene, so he couldn't put it out. I quickly knocked him down and used the mud on the ground to put out the fire.

Master Liang was howling and white smoke was coming out all over his body. Lao Chi and I peeled off his clothes, only to see that a few spots on his back were scorched black. Fortunately, he had a lot of cold sweat, which had a protective effect. Overall, Saying it was not serious, I turned on the kettle, poured half of the water on his back to cool him down, and then looked up to see what was going on around him.

The open space we were in had been blocked by a wall of fire. It was a mess outside. The heat wave hit, and all the hair on the body made a curling sound. Many coffins kept exploding, probably because of the evaporation of water vapor inside, and the coffin boards flew away. When I got up in the air, I saw that the situation was over. Thousand Coffins Cave must be completely burned. It was located in a low-lying area. The oxygen might be burned out if I waited for a while, and I would be scalded to death if not stewed to death. I hurriedly went to find the one Lao Itch mentioned. I was taking a "rebellious" thief's hole, and before I had gone a few steps, Lao Itch grabbed me and shouted: Something bad is going on. If you don't copy it, you will be copied. The Lord of Hell has called his name! !

I didn't know what he meant, so I turned around and saw six or seven big rats that were going crazy because of the fire. They jumped over the wall of fire, went straight to my face and bit me. I ducked and hid. Lao Itch didn't wait for them to pounce again, and shot one away. I raised the extinguished torch and used it as a weapon to knock away a few of the mice that pounced on me. But at the same time, a dozen other mice sprang out like lightning. , this time I was too close, I was scratched a few times on my back, and immediately rolled to the ground. Lao Itchy fired a few more shots to force them back. I looked up and saw, darling, all the coffins outside the fire wall were already covered. There were mice, big and small, all staring at us with red-hot eyes.

I screamed in my heart. The few mice that jumped in were frightened by Lao Itchy's gunshots and dared not come close for the time being. However, those outside the fire wall seemed to see that the area we were standing on would not be burned. They will inevitably rush in one by one, risking their lives, and the number will increase. In a few minutes, when they find that they have an advantage in numbers, they will inevitably swarm us and eat us into skeletons.

I think it’s not worth it to fight here. I’ll hold Old Itchy and ask him to leave these rats alone for the time being. The most important thing is to find the thief’s hole, put Master Liang down first, and then block the hole so he won’t be afraid of anything. . The veins burned by the fire were all visible. When I told him, he came to his senses. He exited the box, looked at the box, and gave me the gun. Then he picked up Master Liang and walked towards the center of the pit. I held the gun in one hand. With one hand, she slapped her and followed him.

After walking only a few steps, the nearest mice suddenly screamed and rushed towards me like lightning. I raised my hand and fired four times, hitting three of them, and two more had already jumped in front of me. The next trick was to throw out the racket, and with a loud noise, the two mice were beaten into a pulp in the air.
