Chapter 639 Eight Trigrams Hanging Coffin
After discovering that there were no other miscellaneous items on the ground floor of the palace, Qin An decisively led his men up to the second floor. However, they had only just reached the staircase leading to the second floor when...
Qin An then smelled a strong fishy odor.
The fishy smell is quite mixed...
It's a bit like human blood mixed with feces and mold.
It's disgusting!
"vomit--"
Jiang Liuli and the others walking behind Qin An immediately found it hard to stand. Qin An could use a breath-holding technique to block out the stench, but the others couldn't withstand it.
"I really can't take it anymore... Why don't you go up and take a look by yourself, Brother Qin An? If there's that stone coffin, then we can go up; if not, let's leave this place!"
Wang Yanyan pinched her nose and refused to go up the stairs anymore.
Qin An also felt that it wouldn't matter whether these people went up or not; on the contrary, they might even hold the team back. So he nodded in agreement.
But Jiang Liuli and the others still wanted to go up with Qin An.
Although this smell is really awful!
However, it is not unbearable.
Therefore, the people who went up with Qin An were Jiang Liuli, Gu Wuyan, Hu Jizhou, and Meng Yu, while the others stayed down to rest. Originally, Yang Lele and Gu Yang also wanted to go up.
However, considering the need to protect the others who remained.
Qin An then refused.
"Da da da da da-"
The five people climbed the wooden stairs to the second floor of the palace. The further they went, the stronger the stench became!
The five people endured the smell and went upstairs.
But it had only been a short time since they entered the door.
The five of them were shocked by the scene before them!
Cloth Man!
So many cloth people!
There were hardly any cloth figures elsewhere, or only one, but here there were no fewer than 10, all standing in a circle in the center of the second floor.
But what alarmed the five of them the most was...
It was a hanging coffin surrounded by those cloth figures in the very center!
The hanging coffin is about one person's height off the ground, and an iron chain as thick as an adult's arm is tied to each of the four pillars in the east, west, south, and north!
These iron chains are intertwined and wrapped around the stone coffin.
They forcibly pulled the stone coffin off the ground!
Not only that.
The ground beneath the stone coffin and the coffin itself are covered with the Fuxi Pre-Heaven Bagua pattern. There are also some blackened bloodstains around it, which look like black dog blood. There are also many nearly rotten yellow papers on the ground, indicating that someone may have come to worship this hanging coffin before.
"This is... the stone coffin in the parchment scroll that trapped Chi You's wife, the Thousand-Faced Fox Demon?" Meng Yu asked somewhat tremblingly.
This is the scene.
Anyone who sees it will think that what's inside is an ominous thing!
And look at this display of force.
What's inside must be extremely vicious!
For the first time, Meng Yu even considered backing out. "Brother Qin An... Senior Brother! Maybe we shouldn't open the coffin?"
As soon as these words came out.
Even Hu Jizhou showed a look of hesitation.
The Eight Trigrams of the Pre-Heaven cannot be used casually... let alone carved on the ground and on the coffin! Moreover, hanging coffins also serve to prevent the unclean things inside from receiving the earth's energy!
The ancients believed that humans live between heaven and earth, with their feet on the ground and their noses breathing the air from the sky, which constitutes the cycle of the universe.
And if there are filthy creatures that want to eat people buried!
During the period of rest and reclining, the bottom of the coffin must never touch the ground; something must be found to suspend the coffin in mid-air.
Only by doing this can we prevent the evil from absorbing the earth's energy and becoming stronger.
But Qin An did not hesitate at all.
"Open the coffin!"
He possesses a technique that allows him to trace the source of light, requiring him to open the coffin and touch the corpse inside in order to see what the corpse experienced in its lifetime. This is crucial for their understanding of Chi You's tomb.
Moreover, Qin An was also very puzzled.
Why do both Guang Chengzi and the insane Shao Wei call themselves the Yellow Emperor? This mystery can probably only be solved by opening the coffin!
Seeing that Qin An had already made the decision to open the coffin.
Hu Jizhou naturally wouldn't listen to his junior sister's opinion anymore. He gave Meng Yu a reassuring look, indicating that she didn't need to be afraid with Qin An around.
He then quickly walked up to catch up with Qin An.
"Brother Qin An, let me lend you a hand."
The two walked around the cloth figures surrounding the hanging coffin and approached it. Although both of them found the cloth figures quite annoying, neither of them chose to push them away.
After all, there must have been a reason why the ancients did it this way.
What if this is an object used to ward off evil spirits?
Therefore, adhering to the principle of doing less and making fewer mistakes, neither of them paid any attention to these cloth figures.
However, there was really no other way later on.
Unable to find anything to place under the hanging coffin, the two men simply brought over two cloth figures and placed them at the corresponding head and tail of the coffin.
Then Qin An drew his black gold ancient sword and slashed fiercely at the four iron chains tied to the hanging coffin.
“Ding ding ding…”
The chains have lost their tension.
The hanging coffin crashed down!
Fortunately, there were enough pillars under the palace, so it did not collapse due to the impact of the hanging coffin.
In addition, there was the buffer provided by the cloth figure.
The hanging coffins did not directly touch the ground.
Then Qin An swung his black gold ancient sword and cut all the iron chains binding the stone coffin.
“Ding ding ding…”
This time, the stone coffin was completely free from the restraint of the iron chains.
Just as Qin An was about to exert force to push open the coffin lid.
Suddenly, Shao Wei's frantic shouts rang out from downstairs: "She's here! She's here!"
Immediately following was Zhang Yunfeng's inquiry.
"Old buddy! What's wrong with you? Are you possessed? But who is it?! Tell us clearly!"
Shao Wei stammered, "They're all here! The living are here! The dead are here too!"
This statement is still completely nonsensical.
At this time.
Yang Lele suddenly remembered that Qin An had given each of them a bronze mirror before, and Shao Wei had said that this bronze mirror could reflect dirty things.
Just as Yang Lele took out the bronze mirror to look around at the dirty things, Shao Wei suddenly reached out and knocked the bronze mirror out of Yang Lele's hand.
"Ouch! What are you doing?"
Yang Lele was about to get angry.
But Shao Wei looked terrified and said, "Don't look! She loves beauty! She can't stand in front of a mirror. If you look in the mirror, she'll come over!"
As soon as these words came out.
Yang Lele immediately backed down.
I'm also afraid that the mirror might actually attract some dirty things.
After a while.
Shao Wei added, "Don't talk! That filthy thing wants to go home; it's not targeting us. It's going upstairs."
Hear this.
The archaeological team members all turned to look at the staircase leading to the second floor, but there was no sound from there, and they didn't know whether Shao Wei was telling the truth or not.
But just as the archaeological team downstairs turned their attention away...
Footprints slowly appeared on the wooden stairs, and the dust around the footprints was stirred up a little, but no sound was made.

P.S.: I had no inspiration and couldn't write anything yesterday, so I took the day off.
I'll make it up next time.
I'll update five chapters on one day this month.
