Chapter 2486: Sarcophagus
The light in the tomb was very dim, and even with a searchlight, I could only see roughly.
Lin Ran signaled everyone to be quiet and walked into the main tomb one after another.
"Jin Peng, Xu Ning, go and light the immortal lamps next to you." When Lin Ran entered the main tomb, he noticed that there were actually immortal lamps around the main tomb. He would not light them unless it was a last resort. The longevity lamp.
But now, he could feel a dangerous aura.
The light must be bright first, otherwise it will be too late to be alert if something jumps out of the shadows.
The two of them said "hmm" and then split up to do the same.
After a while, all the longevity lamps in the tomb were lit.
Under the illumination of the flames, the environment in the tomb was extremely clear in front of them.
There are a total of twelve sarcophagi inside, and it can be seen that these sarcophagi are arranged in a certain order.
It is somewhat similar to the formation we saw before.
The arrangement was not particularly neat, so Lin Ran asked them not to touch these sarcophagi in a hurry.
He raised his head and saw that the top of the tomb was curved and filled with exquisite murals, including the sun, moon and stars.
Looking around, there are all square stone bricks, all of the same size and specification. Each stone slab has a symbol engraved on it, and all the stone slabs are arranged just like the stone slabs in the corridor outside.
Others were also searching for parts of interest, but they all remembered Lin Ran's instructions and did not touch any items in the ancient tomb.
Only Wang Jinpeng murmured in a low voice: "Damn, why are there so many coffins here?"
Xu Ning next to him just looked pale and did not answer.
He is indeed a weirdo. He is obviously afraid of supernatural phenomena, but in the end he becomes a local master.
Liu Jingfeng and Lin Ran stood together. Seeing the exquisite murals and the words on the stone slabs, they couldn't help but ask: "Brother Lin, what is written here?"
"I don't know, it seems to be a very ancient writing." Lin Ran replied.
They were walking along the wall.
Huang Hao's goal was more specific. He searched for burial objects in the tomb.
He soon noticed that there were two ear chambers on both sides of the tomb, and he excitedly wanted to tell others about this.
But no one cares about this at all, everyone is wary of something.
After a fruitless search, Lin Ran and Liu Jingfeng walked towards the sarcophagus closest to them at the same time.
There are some words on the sarcophagus.
Lin Ran and the others squatted down at the same time, shining a flashlight on it to read the words on it.
The words on the coffin were also strange, but Lin Ran remembered clearly that this was the unknown hero of Myanmar whom Char had told him earlier.
Wasn't his coffin in a tomb that had a gap opened?
Lin Ran made a careful comparison again. His memory was absolutely correct. This was the life story of the unknown hero.
He told Liu Jingfeng about this, and Liu Jingfeng was greatly surprised.
"Brother Lin, do you know ancient Burmese?"
"No, but I have seen it before and a knowledgeable person told me." Lin Ran replied.
And now their focus is not on studying the language, but on this sarcophagus.
It is a bit incredible no matter how you think about it, that a foreign folk hero would be buried in a Chinese sarcophagus.
At first, everyone felt quite unhappy, but when they heard that this man led young people to resist and created opportunities for civilians to escape after being invaded, they were also in awe.
Heroes have no distinction of nationality, and they admire people who can sacrifice themselves for others.
Lin Ran said: "When I heard this story, I thought it was a bit incredible, but after thinking about it at the time, the legend must have some embellishment parts."
"But, now that I think about it, the beautification is indeed a bit too much."
Lin Ran frowned and said, "Because when I saw this coffin before, the invaders they encountered were painted on the inside. They were either little neons or Mongolians, and they should be from a later date, because it can be seen from the murals To the powder gun.”
"In the era of cold weapons, you might be able to resist the invaders with your willpower, but after the emergence of hot weapons, it is impossible to resist them just by relying on these cold weapons, and they want to delay time."
The last words were quite euphemistic. The fact that he would appear in this legendary tomb might mean that he had a trump card in his hand.
Lin Ran exchanged his views with Liu Jingfeng. Liu Jingfeng's expression changed and he said, "Isn't this too conspiracy theory?"
"Maybe it was just that in the early days, gunpowder guns were not easy to use."
After listening to Liu Jingfeng's words, Lin Ran's face became much more serious.
Before the advent of rifling, powder guns did seem a bit inferior.
The funniest thing is that in the early days of the war, the bodies had to line up in columns and shoot at the same time, and then stand on the ground and fire bullets. During this process, they could only use their bodies to test the opponent's ammunition.
If you think about it this way, if it is a Mongolian cavalry, the effect of gunpowder guns may not be as good as that of bows and arrows.
When Lin Ran thought about it, he felt like he had some conspiracy theories.
After completing their research, they came to another sarcophagus.
This sarcophagus is also engraved with text, but it is more outrageous than the text just now.
"Could it be another ancient foreign language?" Lin Ran frowned.
It turned out that he looked at several sarcophagi in a row, and after studying the text below, he found that the contents on each sarcophagus were different.
But with the experience of the first sarcophagus, it is not difficult to guess that the contents on other coffins are also the life of the tomb owner.
However, the words used in each coffin were different, which puzzled Lin Ran.
Is it possible that these twelve coffins contain people from different countries?
It's a fantasy!
While Lin Ran was studying the words on the slate, Huang Hao and Wang Jinpeng couldn't bear the loneliness and came to a sarcophagus.
They followed Lin Ran's suggestion and did not touch the sarcophagus with their hands. Instead, they studied the words on it, which they naturally could not understand given their cultural level.
Wang Jinpeng said: "If there is nothing inside, can we open it and take a look?"
Huang Hao also said with an annoyed look on his face: "Oh, there are a bunch of coffins in front of me, but there is no way to open the coffins and rob the tomb. What a pity!"
In the past, if they had seen so many sarcophagi, they would have started to open the coffins and search for the treasures inside.
But they were frightened by the shaking coffin in the tomb, and now they all assumed that there was a monster in the coffin.
"Should we go to the ear room and have a look? Maybe there are burial objects there." Huang Hao asked. He would not dare to act without Lin Ran's order.
