Chapter 0308 Double Coffin

Such a good memory?

I was stunned by Chen Ting's trick. The tomb was dark. If I didn't have a flashlight, I couldn't see which brick she pressed from such a distance!

However, since the door was opened, it was fine!

This kind of secret door is actually very difficult to make. When making the door, it will be disguised on the outside. Once the door is closed, it looks exactly the same as the wall and cannot be distinguished at all. You have to find the secret door by touch, and then find the position of the door by touch. After all, no matter how good the disguise is, there are still some subtle differences in touch. Once you get started, you can find it nine out of ten times. However, this tomb is an acid tomb. Each hollow brick is sealed with concentrated sulfuric acid. Touching it is absolutely the same as seeking death!

Therefore, Chen Ting was able to find this secret door, which saved me a lot of effort. Although I couldn't figure out some details about her, Chen Yu was guarding against me like a thief, as if I was a big villain who wanted to kill his sister a hundred times at any time, so I didn't ask Chen Ting any more questions. It was enough to know that she was a living person. Moreover, I also observed Chen Ting. Her eyes were very spiritual, and she didn't seem to be controlled by dirty things. In short, no matter how many things were wrong with her, she should not be a threat to us for the time being, and I was too lazy to ask too much.

At this time, Chen Ting had already walked into the next tomb, and I hurriedly followed.

The next tomb was furnished like a living room, with tables, chairs, benches, etc., but they were almost rotten and almost broke down when touched.

All around this tomb, there were stone doors!

Although I didn't open those stone doors to take a peek, I knew with my eyes closed that they should be tombs!

The layout here is like... many apartment buildings we have now, with the living room connected to the bedroom, but the apartment buildings are for the living, while this is for the dead. The coffins of Helan Yueshi's wife, children and descendants should be placed in the tombs. Most joint tombs are basically arranged in this way.

"Which tomb are those girls imprisoned in?"

I glanced at Chen Ting and said, "Take me to find those girls directly."

This time, although I wanted to touch something in the tomb, after knowing the depth of this tomb, this thought faded a little. It would be better if there were good things, but if there were none, I would not force it. I just wanted to find the missing girls and evacuate them quickly!

"Okay!"

Chen Ting was not vague. She walked to a stone door, pointed at it and said directly: "The girls are inside, but I can open this door from the inside, but I can't open it from the outside."

She didn't need to say more. I went up to study the door. After taking a look, I was basically sure that this should be a fully automatic anti-theft device with a top door stone. It is much more advanced than the semi-automatic anti-theft device with a top door stone that I have seen before. This kind of door probably appeared in the Tang Dynasty. It is considered a relatively advanced anti-theft device for tombs. The top door stone is connected to the stone door with a tension spring. The door can only be opened by pushing the top door stone. When closing the door, the top door stone will be pulled up by the tension spring to hold the door. The next time you go in, you have to push the top door stone again!

Helan Yueshi was just a minor official in the Prince of Yue's mansion, and he was definitely not qualified to use such advanced anti-theft facilities in the tomb. I guess the fact that his family's joint tomb could have such specifications was also related to his wife. Wu Shun was favored by Emperor Gaozong of Tang for a period of time, so it was not impossible for her to ask Emperor Gaozong of Tang to repair her husband's joint tomb.

Moreover, Emperor Gaozong of Tang in history was actually a very kind emperor. He slept with other people's wives, so it was entirely possible for him to repair their tombs, so that he could sleep more peacefully. Otherwise, I guess he would have been worried when he lay down on the bed at night. It was probably because of this series of reasons that Helan Yueshi's tomb reached such specifications!

This fully automatic anti-theft facility for the top door is the same as prying the semi-automatic top door. You need to use a crooked nail key. I also learned this trick from Fatty, so I also got a crooked nail key and brought it with me this time. I didn't expect it to be really used. I took the crooked nail key out of my backpack.

It was just my first time using this thing, and I wasn't very skilled at it, so it took a lot of effort just to push it in through the crack of the door. I tried back and forth for several rounds before I finally hooked the top stone, and then I pushed forward hard, and heard a loud "boom" from inside, probably because the top stone was pushed aside by me.

Then, I pushed the stone door, and sure enough, the stone door opened, and a rotten smell came to my nose.

"Great!"

Chen Yu laughed on the side: "I didn't expect you to have this skill."

I ignored him and took out the flashlight to shine into the tomb.

This tomb is probably more than 100 square meters in size. Except for a particularly large coffin in the middle, where is the shadow of a person?

I turned around and asked Chen Ting: "Are you sure it's this tomb?"

"Yes!"

Chen Ting pointed to the coffin in the middle and said: "The people are hidden in the coffin. I forgot to tell you that the female ghost stuffed us into the coffin before leaving. It's just that I didn't close the coffin when I left... Did the female ghost close it after I left?"

I saw that she looked confused and seemed to really not know, so I didn't ask more. I walked into the tomb with some suspicion, thinking whether there was a trick in this coffin, otherwise why would the female ghost stuff people into the coffin? At that moment, I turned around the coffin.

This coffin should be made of golden nanmu, which is also a better coffin. The overall volume is indeed large, larger than some coffins. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be a very rare double-dwelling coffin!

What is a double-dwelling coffin?

It's very simple. It's a coffin used by a couple. After the couple dies, they will be placed in the same coffin as they slept together in life. This coffin that can hold two people is called a double coffin.

However, this kind of double coffin is very rare. It is usually used for couples who have just died and the other half immediately committed suicide to be buried with them!

This tomb is in the middle of many tombs. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the tomb of Helan Yueshi and Wu Shun. However, these two people are not a loving couple, and Helan Yueshi died at least ten or twenty years earlier than Wu Shun. How could they use a double coffin?

After a little thought, I have a bold guess. After Wu Shun was killed by Wu Zetian, she was also named the Lady of Zheng State. The funeral was also arranged by Wu Zetian. I guess it was Wu Zetian's intention to bury Wu Shun and Helan Yueshi together. Using a double coffin, Wu Shun finally returned to her husband. It also meant that Helan Yueshi should take good care of his wife and not fucking hook up with other men!

After learning about that tangled history, I can only think of this ridiculous possibility...

So, the missing girl from Chenjiagou was locked in the coffins of Helan Yueshi and Wu Shun, staying with the dead?

I felt a little weird, but this double coffin was very big, and it could really fit a few girls in it!

At that moment, I went up and knocked on the double coffin twice, and asked: "Can you hear me?"

The girl inside didn't respond at all...

"Let's open the coffin!"

Chen Ting appeared behind me at some point, and said impatiently: "The person has been locked up in there for several days. I'm afraid he has lost consciousness a long time ago. How can he answer you!"

I turned my head and looked at Chen Ting. I don't know if it was my illusion, because I was squatting and she was standing, so I looked up at her. From my angle, her face was a little weird, especially when she was talking, only her lips were moving, but her face was not moving!

At this time, Chen Yu also came up and urged: "Xiaotian, don't dawdle, open the coffin and save people!"

I let out a long breath and looked at Chen Ting strangely, but seeing that Chen Yu was urging me, I didn't think much about it. I thought it might be because the light was too dim and I had an illusion. Then I took out the crowbar from my backpack and prepared to open the coffin.
