Great Single Player of the Heavens

Chapter 287 Himiko's Tomb

I saw the dim environment, only a ray of sunlight, through a gap in the ceiling, transmitted to a tall stone sculpture.

It was a benevolent female Buddha statue, with her hands clasped together, sitting cross-legged on the ground. On both sides of her stood two slightly smaller statues of warriors holding spears.

And the dress of the statue is almost exactly the same as the storm warrior they saw just now!

Such a combination made Laura exclaim:

"The Sun Queen and her Storm Warriors!"

Immediately afterwards, an ancient sarcophagus located in the center of the cave immediately attracted the attention of the two of them.

Walking to the sarcophagus, Laura wiped away the heavy dust on the sarcophagus, checked the carvings and ancient characters on the sarcophagus, and sighed:

"Himiko...the first Queen of the Sun...this is really the Yamatai Kingdom!"

After the excitement, Laura put her hands on the coffin lid without saying a word, and pushed it forward vigorously.

"Wait a moment!"

Before Lu Qi could stop her, he could only watch Laura push the lid of the sarcophagus and open a gap in the sarcophagus.

In the next second, in the sarcophagus, a rotten hand was not pulled out, nor was a large amount of poisonous gas or mechanism triggered, but Laura who was choked by the long-standing dust in the sarcophagus.

"Cough cough cough..."

Looking at the silly and bold Laura who was coughing a lot, Lu Qi pulled the corner of his mouth and said helplessly:

"Laura, you should be glad that it's just dust, not poisonous gas..."

Hearing this, Laura realized that she was a little reckless after she had reacted. She couldn't help but stretched out her hand to brush the bangs on her forehead, and said embarrassingly:

"Sorry, I got over excited all of a sudden, so..."

"Don't do this next time. It's hard to guarantee that the person who built the coffin will tamper with the coffin just to prevent someone from opening it..."

Nodding, Laura seemed to think of something, looked at Lu Qi curiously, and said:

"You seem to be quite experienced in this area..."

Hearing this, Lu Qi just shrugged his shoulders, and replied casually: "Maybe I, like you, also have the talent for archaeology..."

Laura nodded in agreement and echoed:

"Maybe so..."

. . .

With the help of Lu Qi, the two of them pushed the heavy coffin lid halfway open, revealing the scene inside the coffin.

Inside the sarcophagus lay a rotten skeleton wearing a red robe and a crown.

Judging by the petite frame, this is a woman. The crown and gown seem to be telling the identity of a woman, which is extraordinary.

Obviously, in the Yamatai Kingdom, besides the Sun Queen Himiko, who else could wear a crown, have a high status, and have a separate tomb after death? !

It wasn't until this moment that the two realized that they had come to Himiko's final resting place by accident!

"Himiko! She's really here! And...really dead..."

Compared to Laura's astonishment,

Lu Qi seemed relatively calm.

Especially when he saw such a female corpse that looked like Himiko lying in the sarcophagus, his heart, apart from being calm, was only somewhat relieved.

Because he had cleared the game and knew that Himiko was not dead, nor was he buried, but stayed in the coronation chamber in a half-dead body, guarded by the storm warriors.

Then who is this strange woman lying in what should belong to Himiko's tomb?

As long as you recall the history of the Sun Queen's resurrection from the corpse, the answer is ready to come!

The woman lying in the sarcophagus and buried as a queen must be the priestess who saw through Himiko's secret hundreds of years ago, destroyed the last coronation, and finally committed suicide!

Himiko could not reveal the truth about his coronation failure to the public, nor could he continue to rule the Yamatai Kingdom with his new body, so he could only order the Storm Warriors to bury the dead priestess in order to maintain his noble image in the eyes of the people.

And his own soul is hidden in the half-dead body, waiting for an opportunity to come back to life again one day.

This is also the reason why there are no storm warriors guarding Himiko's tomb...

Thinking of the great deeds of this priestess who sacrificed herself in order to stop Himiko, Lu Qi couldn't help but look solemn, put his hands together, bowed to the bones in the sarcophagus, and said silently in his heart:

"Please don't worry, I will completely wipe out this evil soul just like you once did, and return the kingdom of Yamatai to a bright and clear sky!"

"Hope you rest in peace..."

Laura, who had just finished worshiping and ran to the side of the tomb, seemed to have found something, and couldn't help calling his name:

"Lu Qi, this way!"

Turning around, I saw Laura standing in front of a beautiful large mural holding a torch.

In the tomb, besides the central sarcophagus, there are some more valuable things, that is, four murals carved on the walls!

Each mural describes a history about how to choose the queen's heir.

Looking from the right to the left of the tomb, Laura looked at the contents of the murals carefully, while carefully interpreting the meanings represented by these murals:

"It looks like some sort of fire ritual, a living sacrifice...it's horrible, but why are these women being burned?"

"The pilgrimage...referring to the monastery just now?"

"Pour water...get water..."

Standing in front of the mural of "the woman in the sun behind her is pouring water on another woman in white", Laura seemed to think of something, her eyes lit up suddenly, and she exclaimed:

"Wait a minute, this is not pouring water, but inheriting power!"

There is no need for Lu Qi to hint or remind. With her keen intuition, Laura quickly understood the meaning that the four murals wanted to express. In fact, it is how the Yamatai Kingdom chooses the heir and the entire enthronement ceremony for inheriting power!

"So, every time an heir is chosen, these priestesses must be burned to death? Isn't this too scary?!"

"Could it be that these sacrificed women were engulfed in the fire obediently without any resistance?"

Hearing Laura's doubts, Lu Qi couldn't help turning his head and glanced at the direction of the sarcophagus, thinking in his heart: Someone resisted, and she was lying in the sarcophagus, you saw her just now...

Putting aside the random thoughts in his mind, Lu Qi couldn't help but look at Laura who was frowning and thinking.

"We have to go back, or Ross will worry about us..."

Before he could finish speaking, a sudden change occurred!

"Roar!!!"

A sudden inhuman roar came from above.

Following the prestige, I saw the tall and burly figure of the chief warrior on a platform obliquely above the tomb.

Seeing this, Lu Qi couldn't help but fix his eyes, and cursed in a low voice:

"It's really fucking lingering..."
