Therefore, Chen Feng squatted down at the side and carefully stared at the flame on the candle.
However, he seemed to be thinking too much this time.
After about five minutes, Chen Feng realized that the candle was still burning slowly. There were no signs of it going out. Seeing this scene, he finally heaved a sigh of relief.
"Whoosh ~"
Chen Feng slowly approached the coffin and shone the flashlight into the coffin.
For a moment, the air seemed to freeze.
Chen Feng followed the flashlight and looked down. As the light shone down, he could see everything below the coffin.
However, something strange happened.
Originally, Chen Feng had thought that after so many years, the corpse in the coffin would have already turned into a skeleton. However, when he looked down at the flashlight, he found that there was nothing in the coffin.
What was going on?
Could it be that there was an empty coffin below?
But this wasn't right…
If there was nothing in the coffin, then why did the tomb's builders place a cenotaph here?
Thinking of this, Chen Feng became even more curious about the coffin.
However, he had also figured it out. If he wanted to know what was in the coffin, he would probably have to go down personally to find out.
But speaking of which, there were benefits.
The Miao village had a lot of silver decorations. However, the tombs near the Miao village would mostly be accompanied with a large amount of Miao silver.
If these things were taken outside, they would be worth a lot.
Moreover, the coffin was now buried vertically. If he wanted to check the situation inside, he would probably have to go down personally to know.
Thinking of this, Chen Feng made up his mind and prepared to go down.
Thus, he carefully approached the edge of the coffin and took the lead to extend one leg inside. Then, he swallowed and jumped down.
Fortunately, the coffin was not too high. However, Chen Feng nearly crashed into the wooden board when he suddenly jumped down.
Fortunately, the inside of the coffin was much more spacious than he had imagined. After going down, it gave Chen Feng a certain buffer distance, allowing him to stabilize his body.
After Chen Feng stabilized himself, he carefully observed the inner walls of the coffin.
His goal in entering the coffin was to find out the identity of the burial items and the owner of the tomb.
He thought that as long as the inscription was not outside the tomb, there would definitely be a corresponding inscription inside the coffin.
However, just as Chen Feng raised his head, he suddenly felt an itch on his neck. It was as if something like hair had brushed past him.
Sensing this, Chen Feng immediately reached out to grab the thing that was wrapped around his neck.
However, in the next moment, when he reached out to grab the thing, Chen Feng's hand suddenly froze on the spot. Through the touch, Chen Feng felt that the thing he was holding in his hand seemed to be a strand of a woman's long hair.
Gulp!
Sensing the abnormality, Chen Feng could not help but swallow.
At this moment, Chen Feng felt as if a huge rock had been lifted from his heart. Then, he suppressed the fear in his heart and slowly turned his head to look behind him.
For a moment, Chen Feng felt extremely regretful. He should not have jumped down so rashly.
But now that things had come to this, he could only use the flashlight to shine behind him. When he followed the flashlight and saw what was behind him, Chen Feng broke out in cold sweat.
A woman's corpse was embedded in the coffin behind him.
When he jumped down just now, he was hooked by this woman's long hair. Chen Feng focused his gaze and saw that the female corpse was wearing a black metal mask. Her limbs were curled up because they had dried up.
One had to know that although Chen Feng had received the knowledge transmitted by the system, he had not been able to do anything.
However, this was the first time he was observing a hundred-year-old mummy at such a close distance. But now, the woman was almost face-to-face with him. The distance between their faces was no more than a palm's length.
Therefore, Chen Feng was stunned on the spot.
After a full five seconds, he breathed again. Just as he was about to shout, Chen Feng covered his mouth.
For a moment, the air seemed a little cold.
After about ten seconds, Chen Feng finally calmed down from his shock.
At this moment, he finally understood what was going on.
It seemed that this was the person who had died in the tomb.
However, because he was too anxious before, when he opened the coffin, the lid of the coffin happened to block the female corpse, so he did not notice it in time.
Thinking of this, Chen Feng had a guess.
It seemed that this female corpse was the person buried with the deceased in the tomb. It was also for this reason that the third layer of Feng Shui outside the tomb was used on women.
However, Chen Feng could not figure it out. If this was Yuan Chonghuan's tomb, why would he use a Miaojiang woman as a sacrifice?
That's right!
Chen Feng looked over and saw that the female corpse was wearing traditional black Miao clothing.
Realizing this, Chen Feng felt even more puzzled.
What was the identity of this female corpse when she was alive?
He could actually be buried in Yuan Chonghuan's tomb?
With this in mind, Chen Feng decided to search the female corpse. After all, he was here to rob a tomb. Judging from the situation in the coffin, there shouldn't be any other burial items.
But it didn't matter, because he knew that the more precious the funerary objects were, the more they would be buried by the tomb owner.
Moreover, he had observed the coffin carefully just now and found that there were no words carved on it.
If he wanted to find proof of the female corpse's identity, he would have to start with her funerary objects.
Thinking of this, Chen Feng reached out his hands and pressed down on the female corpse's shoulders.
However, for the Hairmound Clan, there were rules for finding funerary objects. Other than using two fingers to explore the cave, there was another important rule-to take the money without exposing the corpse!
To put it bluntly, while searching for the funerary objects, he could not unbutton the clothes of the tomb owner.
From the beginning to the end, after the inspection was completed, they must not expose the corpse of the tomb owner in the wilderness.
As for the specific method, it was to start from the shoulders and gradually press down to search. They relied on their sensitivity to touch to determine if the tomb owner had brought any burial items with them.
