Chapter 66: The Dragon's Head Fire Corps
Without asking me, he lifted the white cloth directly.
What we didn't expect was that the moment he lifted it, the white cloth suddenly spontaneously combusted.
He was startled and quickly let go, but his hand was still burned by the flames.
Deng Sanke was so frightened that he took a few steps back.
I saw that the white cloth gradually burned out, and a statue-like thing was revealed inside the white cloth.
The statue has a dragon's head hanging from it, while the human body is underneath.
As I got closer, I saw that it wasn't a complete statue at all.
Only the head was carved out of something, and underneath was the shape of a dead corpse, like a mummy.
Deng Sanke was so frightened that he couldn't do it, and his palm was burned by the fire, and he was not in a good mood, so he spat loudly: "Phew, it's really unlucky!"
I thought to myself that you were not unlucky, but that you did not listen to advice.
The reason why Deng Sanke was burned like this is also deserved.
However, I went over and showed him how the burns were and whether they were serious.
Fortunately, it's just a skin injury, and you can apply a little medicine after you go out, this big man is really squeamish.
After checking it out, I went back to look at the strange thing just now, and I always felt that it wouldn't be placed here for no reason.
Since it's here, it must have a certain meaning.
From the moment I entered the ancient tomb, I have carefully investigated the pattern inside.
Because it was my first time going to the tomb, I observed the surrounding environment very carefully, so I was afraid of missing any clues.
The pattern of this ancient tomb is already unique, sitting in the north and facing south, the two sides are square structures, when you come in, there is the altar and the tomb of Concubine Yi, and there seems to be a hole in it.
Just looking at the decorations inside the thousand-year-old female corpse, I have some doubts about whether this is the real Concubine Yi.
If so, where does the promenade lead?
Could it be someone more noble than Concubine Yi?
Or is there some other secret hidden in this tomb?
I dismissed these unrealistic ideas and got closer to what was in front of me.
After looking at it for a long time, I felt that this thing seemed a little familiar.
If I remember correctly, I once saw an introduction to it in my grandfather's book.
I leaned closer, and sure enough, I remembered some accounts about it.
This thing is called the dragon head fire corpse, except for the fact that it will spontaneously combust and hurt people at the beginning, as long as you are careful, there is not much danger.
I stepped aside, and there was a small line carved into the stone wall behind it.
"The dragon's head is burned when it is touched, and it will be extinguished, and its flame touches people and hurts, which is the root of extinguishment. ”
"The head of the dragon is a stone concave phase, and the body is wrapped in a white cloth, which can guard the ancient tomb for thousands of years, and when the body is burned, the sarcophagus can be opened. ”
Seeing what I found, Deng Sanke ignored the pain in his hand and dragged Deng Yun over to see it with me.
"Brother Liu, what does the word on it mean, do you ever understand the deep meaning?"
Deng Sanke really didn't forget to test me all the time.
I understood the tentative meaning in his words, and thought about it and said directly.
"These are literal meanings. But let's just tell us what it's called, and the most notable thing is the second half of the sentence. ”
"What does it mean to open a sarcophagus?"
I can't believe it.
My gut tells me that this thing should have a certain effect.
Maybe there's something like a trap around.
Do you really want me to light a fire and burn the rest of the corpse underneath?
I always felt that it couldn't be that simple.
And if it's a trap, we're going to be trapped here or even killed.
I still don't dare to take these predictions for granted, and if something goes wrong, it's not a joke.
I told Deng Sanke and Deng Yun about this in time.
Especially Deng Sanke, he rushed at him with such fierceness, I was really afraid that he accidentally pressed the mechanism.
If it's his carelessness, forget it, I'm afraid he's curious or deliberate.
The end result is that all three of us could die, and I don't want to die for nothing.
Deng Sanke suddenly smiled when he saw my defensive look.
"Don't worry, Brother Liu, I was really impatient before, mainly because I haven't encountered this situation, and it is inevitable that sometimes I can't calm down. ”
"Now that I'm generally prepared for my surroundings, I'm not as impatient as I was just now. ”
I wish he was telling me the truth, otherwise I wouldn't be able to take care of them if I had to watch them around me and watch them at the same time.
Deng Yun glanced at me and said, "Don't worry, I'll watch him too." ”
Deng Sanke was very dissatisfied with Deng Yun's words, he glanced at Deng Yun, his eyes were full of anger.
"I should be looking at you, what kind of mouth do you have?"
Before Deng Yun could refute, Deng Sanke instantly changed the topic and asked me.
"I have a question that I don't know, I want to ask you, Brother Liu, do you think this mechanism is the way to the next level?"
This is the purpose of Deng Sanke's need to know.
He has always believed that the thousand-year-old female corpse is just the beginning, and there are more treasures to come, and of course there will be more dangers.
However, since he had already experienced danger, if he could get out alive, he would naturally not miss this good opportunity to obtain the treasure.
In other words, now that we are out of danger for the time being, if we can continue to explore further, not only will we be able to find treasures, but we will also be able to find an exit, which is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.
I shook my head and told him I didn't know.
Actually, it's true, I'm not a jack of all trades, and I can't figure everything out.
Deng Sanke seems to be a little unhappy when I say this, but there is no way, what I said is the truth, he has to listen if he doesn't want to listen.
After I had taken a closer look around, I suggested that I go inside, and if I really couldn't get out, I would come back to see the dragon's head fire corpse.
Deng Yun agreed, but Deng Sanke did not speak.
It was a long time before he offered to suggest.
"Well, then, go ahead and find the way, and I'll stay here alone. ”
Deng Sanke smiled, "Don't look at me with this kind of look, I don't mean anything else, I really think that if something happens to you in front, at least I still have a little to take care of here." ”
I just wanted to agree, but Deng Yun here is more worried than me.
"I disagree. ”
Deng Yun dragged me and said, "My brother must be watched, with his character, can you rest assured that he will stay here?"
