Chapter 629
Symbols on the Coffin
Then, Chen Ze took out a flashlight and walked towards the stone platform, saying as he walked, "Since it was buried underground, there must have been traces left. Let's follow the traces on this stone platform and search ahead."
"it is good."
Tian Siyao responded softly and quickened her pace to catch up with Chen Ze.
In no time.
Chen Ze led Tian Siyao around the stone platform to the other end, then stopped and pointed to the road ahead, saying, "The terrain ahead is quite steep, so be careful. I'll carry you."
"No need, you already shielded me from danger once! I don't need you to carry me now."
"No trouble at all, I'm physically fit enough anyway."
"Oh well."
After hesitating for a moment, Tian Siyao leaned on Chen Ze's shoulder.
Chen Ze then steadily supported her as they continued forward.
The further Tian Siyao went, the more she noticed something was wrong.
Because they would hit the mechanism every few steps, the entire road was blocked.
Furthermore, the further forward you go, the denser the mechanisms become.
not only that.
She also heard strange noises.
It sounded as if someone was chanting a spell.
The voice was so eerie and terrifying that Tian Siyao felt a chill run down her spine. "Brother Chen, why am I a little scared?"
"It's alright. Even if there are ghosts, they're coming for me. They won't hurt you." After reassuring you, Chen Ze suddenly stopped and turned around.
Because he stopped abruptly, Tian Siyao was caught off guard and her lips collided with his cheek.
The impact made Tian Siyao's head spin.
Chen Ze also groaned in pain, but still didn't forget to comfort Tian Siyao, "Don't be afraid, I'm carrying you!"
After saying that, he ignored the pain in his forehead and shifted his attention to look ahead.
The strange voice just now wasn't directed at them.
Instead, someone was knocking on the stone steps at the end of the stone staircase ahead.
Because Tian Siyao bumped into something even harder when Chen Ze stopped, and the stone steps were particularly slippery, she hadn't paid attention to that side. But when she heard Chen Ze's reminder, she subconsciously looked in the direction from which the sound came.
At just one glance, she screamed in fright and hurriedly grabbed Chen Ze's neck.
Chen Ze frowned and asked, "Yao'er, are you alright?"
Tian Siyao remained silent, but still gripped Chen Ze's collar tightly. It seemed that only by holding Chen Ze tightly could she stop being afraid and stop trembling so badly.
Chen Zesui didn't say anything more and continued walking.
About ten minutes later.
Chen Ze and his companion finally saw what was at the end of the stone steps.
It was a row of coffins!
The largest and longest stone coffin in the very center is carved with many runes.
After staring at the coffin for a few seconds, Chen Ze turned to look at Tian Siyao and saw her staring blankly at the coffins at the end of the stone steps, which puzzled him.
How come she doesn't feel scared at all?
Knowing that she was blind and might not be able to see anything, Chen Ze simply handed her the flashlight.
After receiving the flashlight, Tian Siyao immediately turned it on and shone it on the nearest coffin.
There was a corpse lying inside the coffin.
Judging from its shape, it should be male.
However, the deceased's face was no longer recognizable.
Tian Siyao had no choice but to move the flashlight away and point it at the coffin lid, trying to examine it with the light.
However... the flashlight beam disappeared before it even touched the stone coffin lid.
Clearly, the coffin was surrounded by some kind of barrier, preventing the flashlight beam from penetrating.
Seeing this, Chen Ze also took out his phone. "The phone has a flashlight function, Yao'er, do you want it?"
"Mmm." Tian Siyao quickly gripped Chen Ze's neck again, nodding vigorously.
Chen Ze then handed over his phone, asking Tian Siyao which movie she wanted to watch. Since Tian Siyao couldn't see, Chen Ze chose a smaller phone and handed it to her.
After taking the phone, Tian Siyao first examined it, and then took two steps forward following the principle of a flashlight.
Soon, she saw the location of the stone coffin lid.
"Mobile phone, mobile phone!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Ze looked down and searched around before finding her left arm. He then casually shoved the phone back into her left hand, saying, "The phone is right here. Take your time looking at it."
"Mmm." Tian Siyao responded excitedly, holding her phone close to the stone coffin, and began to examine it closely.
This is a domestically produced mobile phone. Although the screen is relatively dim and its functions are far inferior to those of internationally used smartphones, it is still possible to see the content on the screen clearly.
In addition, the phone also has a camera of some size, which can capture the surrounding scenery.
Because this was on a mountainside, the phone camera could only capture the surface of the stone. Therefore, Tian Siyao could only vaguely make out the symbols carved on the stone coffin and the color of the coffin itself.
She guessed that the symbols might be related to feng shui.
And the coffin itself...
She pondered for a moment, then gave up trying to figure it out further, because she didn't quite understand it...
On the other hand, she pondered the phone for a long time before gradually getting a clue.
The symbols engraved on the coffin should represent the coffin itself, but some of those symbols look a little strange.
but
Since the symbols on the coffin are unusual, the contents inside the coffin must also be unusual.
With that in mind, she reached out her hand.
Because the coffin lid was already tightly sealed, she tried several times but couldn't open it.
Seeing that she was struggling, Chen Ze worried that it would delay their journey, so he went over to help.
With his efforts, he managed to move the coffin a little, but he couldn't push it completely away.
Tian Siyao was so anxious that she kept stamping her feet.
Just as she was about to push hard, she suddenly heard Chen Ze exclaim in surprise.
"Yao'er, stop fooling around! There's a snake!"
Chen Ze shouted as he dodged quickly, but the cave was surrounded by mountains on all sides, and with nowhere to avoid it, he had no choice but to raise his hand to block Tian Siyao's waving hand.
Fortunately, Tian Siyao was holding a flashlight. Under the beam of light, the snakes did not dare to attack her, but only left red marks on Chen Ze's arms, shoulders and other exposed skin.
Seeing this, Chen Ze said with lingering fear, "Yao'er, you should change to a different flashlight."
After agreeing, Tian Siyao intended to give the flashlight to Chen Ze, but because the flashlight bulb was broken, she couldn't get another flashlight for the time being, so she had to throw the flashlight to Chen Ze, saying, "Brother Chen, you can use this for now. I'll throw it away if we encounter any danger later."
Chen Ze gave a belated "oh".
Tian Siyao had already moved to the other side, intending to push open the stone coffin with her right hand.
"Yao'er!"
Chen Ze suddenly stopped, snatched the flashlight she threw at him, and forcefully inserted it into the wound on her right arm. He then shone the flashlight beam on the wound to confirm that it wasn't deep and that there wasn't much bleeding. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'll take you away from here!"
"Mmm!" Tian Siyao responded softly.
She can't feel any pain at all right now.
After all, the injury was inflicted before she transmigrated, and given that she was a martial artist in her previous life, her recovery ability far surpassed that of ordinary people.
Chen Ze then helped her up, supporting her onto his body, and said, "Hold on tight to my waist, I'm going to speed things up."
Tian Siyao nodded.
Chen Ze then mustered all his strength and ran forward. (End of Chapter)
