Chapter 202
Inside the Corpse Tower.
Chen Yibai cautiously came to the southwest direction. A spiral staircase in front of him led directly to the upper floor. This was also exposed in front of him after the appearance of the Corpse Tower changed.
If he had found this spiral staircase when he first came in, he would not have climbed up along the vine roots.
However, this southwest position corresponds to the Death Gate in Qimen Dunjia, which always made Chen Yibai feel a little too coincidental.
So to be on the safe side, Chen Yibai took out the Bagua compass from his body and took a look.
If this is really the Death Gate in Qimen Dunjia, then there must be danger, and since there is a Death Gate, there should also be a Life Gate.
However, the pointer in the Tianchi of the compass is unusually calm, which means that there is no obvious Yin Qi and ominous signs.
"Am I really too sensitive? This is just a coincidence?" Chen Yibai frowned and muttered in his heart.
At this time, Guan Yunlong and Wu Daoshan's anxious shouts came from above: "Captain Chen, don't look, there is really no danger up there..."
"I guarantee with my personality that I will not give birth to a son without an asshole if I lie to you..."
Because the corpse tower was extremely dead silent, the anxious shouts of the two of them on top were also very clear.
Chen Yibai: "What personality do you two have!"
Chen Yibai was even too lazy to look up at them, just treating them as dogs barking.
After putting the compass away again, Chen Yibai walked up the spiral staircase cautiously.
The whole spiral staircase was like a coiled snake winding upwards, with a width of only more than one meter, and the stairs were very steep.
After turning around the spiral staircase for a few times, Chen Yibai successfully reached the second floor of the corpse tower.
It was indeed as Guan Yunlong and Wu Daoshan said, the second floor was dead silent, without any movement.
Chen Yibai stood on the platform extending outward from the second floor and looked around with his night vision eyes.
There are many things piled up on the whole second-floor corpse tower, and they are placed in eight corners in a very regular manner. There are various ceramic jars, some stone and bronze tools, various weapons and crossbows, and many leather clothes. Although some of them have been seriously rotten for a long time, they can still be seen to be very delicate.
This scene is very familiar to professional tomb robbers like Captain Chen. These are all burial objects, and they are classified and placed according to the eight corners of the corpse tower. There are daily necessities and weapons.
However, these burial objects are obviously not matched with the powerful Yi tribe at that time in terms of quality and specifications. At least outside the corpse tower, gold is piled up into mountains, and the ancient temples above are inlaid with gold and silver everywhere. How could they use this kind of pottery?
So these burial objects should have been looted from other tribes by the Yi tribe through war.
The reason why they are placed here is that they are not regarded as burial objects, but are regarded as a kind of glory of victory in war, which is more likely.
If we follow this logic, then the seventeen floors of the corpse tower should be filled with spoils that the Yi clan plundered from the seventeen tribes through war.
Chen Yibai took a rough look at the piled burial objects. Basically, it can be seen from these burial objects that the development of this tribe is very backward, and most of the weapons are still stone hammers and stone axes.
It is no wonder that the tribe was exterminated.
The weak must be beaten, and the law of the jungle has been the eternal law for thousands of years.
But Chen Yibai has no time to think about these now.
Because the spiral staircase does not lead directly to the top floor, it is broken here, so it must be hidden somewhere else.
So Chen Yibai has to find the stairs leading to the upper floor as soon as possible.
Although Chen Yibai has night vision, because the eight corners of the corpse tower are too large, it is impossible to see all the details at a glance, so he can only go around and search carefully.
It is not just Chen Yibai who is looking.
Guan Yunlong and Wu Daoshan, who were lying on the blood vine coffin, were also holding their wolf-eye flashlights, anxiously swaying back and forth to help find the stairs.
The two beams of strong light swayed back and forth several times, but nothing was found. Finally, they stopped at the northeast position of the octagon. Guan Yunlong shouted: "Captain Chen, that seems to be a stone door..."
At this time, Chen Yibai also saw the stone door Guan Yunlong mentioned.
However, Chen Yibai felt that it was more like a vertical stone coffin, more than two meters wide and more than four meters high, just stuck in the middle of the two layers, and it was stuck tightly.
If the top of this stone coffin is connected to the third layer, it seems to be more reasonable.
It's just that this stone coffin is placed in the northeast, which belongs to the Gen Palace, and is the "life gate" in the middle of Qimen Dunjia.
Is this also a coincidence?
Chen Yibai immediately went around.
There is aIn this sarcophagus, if there is a corpse inside, the person lying inside is most likely the leader of the conquered tribe.
If we refer to the funeral system of the Shang Dynasty thousands of years ago, then he was buried alive with the dead.
The conquered tribal leader was not taken to the cemetery like ordinary tribesmen, but was buried here in a sarcophagus, which seems to be reasonable.
Chen Yibai half-closed his eyes again and carefully studied the sarcophagus in front of him.
The shape of this sarcophagus is very ordinary, just a coffin lid on a rectangle, but the coffin lid is tightly closed, and you can't even see it if you don't look carefully. It is comparable to fine workmanship, and a hair can't be stuffed in.
And the material of this sarcophagus looks very special, with a smooth surface, without any carvings and patterns, and a gray-white background with a reddish-brown color like Qin.
If Chen Yibai hadn't been standing in front of it, he could clearly feel a familiar yin aura, and he wouldn't even be sure that this was a sarcophagus!
That's right!
Chen Yibai felt that the stone coffin in front of him exuded a very evil and familiar Yin Qi.
It was the Yin Qi that could be felt in the tombs he had robbed before.
This was also the first time that Chen Yibai felt the existence of this Yin Qi when he went down to the tomb of the King of the Demon.
At the same time, Chen Yibai seemed to suddenly remember something and took out the Bagua compass from his body again. He looked down and frowned immediately.
The needle of the compass Tianchi was shaking violently.
This was an ominous sign of being disturbed by Yin Qi!
It was strange!
This was really strange!
There were so many mummies outside, but no Yin Qi was felt.
Chen Yibai thought that these corpses refined by the demon were not strictly considered to be Zongzi, so there was no Yin Qi.
But why did the stone coffin in front of him have it?
This was not the most strange thing for Chen Yibai.
What Chen Yibai found most strange was that this was the "life gate" in Qimen Dunjia!
Just now, the compass needle at the death gate was as steady as an old dog and did not move at all.
But at the life gate, it was shaking non-stop!
