Finding that this was another closed stone room, Meng Zitao was very disappointed in his heart, but no matter how disappointed he was, what should be done was still to be done, so he took a flashlight and began to look at it. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Other changes are not much, but in this stone room, there is an additional sarcophagus, and the material of the sarcophagus does not know what it is made of, it looks bright red, as if the surface is splashed with a layer of blood, in this environment, strange and terrifying.

Seeing this blood coffin, Meng Zitao couldn't help but shudder, thinking to himself, there won't be any demons and monsters locked up here!

If it was before, Meng Zitao would definitely not believe such an idea, but after experiencing those "poor Qi" just now, he couldn't help but worry about this in his mind.

But worried that after no mechanism was found in other parts of the stone chamber, Meng Zitao could only look at the blood coffin.

Meng Zitao walked to the blood coffin a little nervously, nothing strange happened, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he checked his surroundings and found nothing like a mechanism, so he put on a gas mask, took a deep breath, and pushed the lid of the sarcophagus.

Don't look at the coffin lid of this sarcophagus The surface of the coffin does not seem to be fixed, but it is very difficult to push, and it took a lot of effort for Mencius to push the coffin lid open.

The moment the coffin lid was pushed open, Meng Zitao took a few steps back, observed for a while, saw that there were no zombies and the like written in the novel, and waited for a while, it seemed that there was indeed no danger, so he stepped forward.

Meng Zitao looked into the sarcophagus, and the first thing that caught his eye was a male corpse, but unexpectedly, it was actually a dried corpse.

Normally, after the death of the human body, the cells in the body will begin their autolysis process, and the lysosomes in the cells release various proteolytic enzymes, which gradually degrade biological macromolecules into small molecules. In addition to this autolysis process, it is also naturally subject to various putrefaction decompositions, which is a natural process.

However, the dried corpse violates this natural process and does not decay, but instead presents itself in the form of a dried corpse. The reason for this is mainly due to the natural formation of dried corpses due to the dehydration of the corpse due to the dry burial environment.

For example, the famous Loulan ancient corpse is due to the low terrain of the area, the dry climate, the rainfall is very small, the corpse is only covered with coarse wool cloth and sheepskin, a layer of dry branches and sand is pressed on top, and there is no well-sealed coffin, so the corpse can be exposed to the air circulating outside, in the hot and dry desert, the water in the body quickly evaporates, which is extremely unfavorable to the growth and reproduction of bacteria, even if the tissue that has begun to decay gradually slows down its corruption process, and finally is in a stable state of rest, so that the corpse is preserved.

But strange is strange here, Meng Zitao can clearly feel that although the surroundings are not very humid, they are not dry, if they are dry, it is impossible to preserve the lamp oil, even if it is the oil of the merman, it is impossible.

In this case, how did this male corpse become a dry corpse? At this point, Meng Zitao was both shocked and puzzled. But then again, from the beginning of entering the ancient tomb, there are many strange situations, and the appearance of dried corpses is not too unexpected, for him, as long as there are no zombies.

Meng Zitao then carefully observed the dried corpse, it was very well preserved, it was wearing a brocade robe and jade crown, due to too much time, most of the brocade robe had turned black, and it was very fragile, and it was estimated that it would shatter when touched.

The dry corpse's hand rested on its chest, its face looked serene, and in addition, there were two jade tablets in its eyes.

The texture of the two pieces of jade is warm and moist, at a glance you know that it is a high-grade jade, the jade piece is jujube kernel-shaped, the surface arc is convex, each end drills a hole, the back is flat, the polishing is delicate, the lines are simple and smooth.

In China, the tradition of burial with jade can be traced back to at least the middle and late Neolithic period 6,000-5,000 years ago. The deceased was surrounded and covered with jade and jade, or covered his eyes with jade pieces, held jade in his hands, and held jade in his mouth, but at that time, the shape of the jade in his mouth, hand, and eyes was not fixed and had great arbitrariness.

Previously, Meng Zitao saw a documentary about jade, which mentioned that the corpses in some tombs unearthed 5,000 years ago and 3,000 years ago placed jade or jade tablets here in the eyes represent the noble status of this person during his lifetime, and it is very likely that he is a witch or wizard of the tribe.

Could it be that this dried corpse was a wizard before he died?

The thought in Meng Zitao's mind flashed, and he glanced at the jade piece on his eyes but did not move it, he had read an ancient book before, which said that the jade piece placed on his eyes was actually to seal the master's soul, and if it moved, he was worried about an accident.

In addition, he didn't move the jade crown, brocade clothes and other items of the dried corpse, except that the purpose of his visit this time was not these, and he didn't want these things, and he was mainly worried about accidents.

Meng Zitao continued to observe, and immediately found that there was a three-foot-long sword next to the dry corpse, and when he picked up the sword, he noticed that the scabbard of this sword was made of leather, and he did not know what kind of animal skin it was made of, and it was black all over, and there was no sign of aging.

Looking at the scabbard, Meng Zitao pulled out the sword with a slight force, only to see that the blade was not long, the sword spine was convex, the sword body was wide, the sword body was black and shiny, the sword body was engraved with the sun, moon and stars on one side, and the mountains and rivers were engraved on the other side.

"This ......"

Meng Zitao looked at the pattern engraved on the sword, his heart moved, and his face showed a look of shock: "Could it be that this is the legendary Xia Yu sword?"

Xia Yu sword, many people call it Xuanyuan Xia Yu sword, but in fact, Xuanyuan sword and Xia Yu sword are actually two swords, Xia Yu sword in addition to the sword body engraved with the sun, moon and stars, one side carved mountains, rivers and plants, as well as the hilt of the sword on one side of the book of farming and animal husbandry, one side of the book of the four seas of the unification of the policy.

And the hilt of this sword is not carved these, obviously it should be different from the legendary Xia Yu sword, and the results given by the different can show that this sword should be a product of the Xia Dynasty more than 3,000 years ago, in terms of age, and the production age of Xia Yu sword is also different, in terms of value, it is also much lower than Xia Yu sword.

Therefore, it is more likely that this sword is actually made of imitation of Xia Yu's sword.

But in any case, this sword has been going through more than three thousand years, and there is not a trace of rust, which proves its value.

Don't take other things, this sword Meng Zitao was happy when he saw the hunt, and he was ready to take it away, and the ancient tomb was too weird, with such a sword in hand, at a critical time, maybe it would be able to solve some troubles.

Putting the sword away, Meng Zitao found that there was nothing else in the coffin except for the jade crown, brocade clothes and two jade pieces that had been found before the sword, which was really a bit unreasonable.

Immediately, he thought that the ancient tomb should have at least two floors, and the people in this sarcophagus were probably just wizards or subordinates, not tomb owners, only these things were actually normal.

Meng Zitao bowed to the dry corpse, and then he moved the dry corpse, wanting to see if there were any mechanisms or passages under the corpse, but he didn't find it.

Shaking his head in disappointment, Meng Zitao was about to leave, but suddenly noticed that the dry corpse seemed to have something in its mouth, and it was normal to have jade in its mouth in the form of a jade burial, but he found that the jade in the mouth of the dry corpse was a little like yin and yang stone.

He hesitated for a moment, opened the mouth of the dried corpse with his hand, took out the stone in his mouth, and looked at it to see that it was really a yin and yang stone.

However, this yin-yang stone is a little weird, because it is actually warm, and it feels about forty degrees. Like the things he encountered that could generate heat before, there was only the dragon turtle statue, but it was only a slight temperature, and it couldn't be compared with this yin-yang stone.

This unexpected discovery made Meng Zitao immediately have a guess, could it be because of this piece of yin and yang stone with temperature, coupled with the fact that this coffin is well sealed, and over time, the water is evaporated, and this corpse will become a dry corpse?

The three yin-yang stones found in succession should not be simple, they must all be treasures, but they are not helpful to Meng Zitao's current predicament. He put away the warm yin-yang stone, then bowed to the dry corpse again, and put the lid of the coffin back up, and then he was a little confused.

Now this stone chamber should be the last, and no clues to the mechanism have been found here, so where can he find it?

What should I do next, can I only die of old age here?

Meng Zitao was a little hesitant, and he couldn't think of any way for a while, then he had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly thought of one thing, did those "poor strange" really seal in those stone piles? This is obviously too contrary to common sense, although since entering the ancient tomb, too many strange things have happened, but he still can't believe that those stone piles will become "poor and strange".

Thinking of this, Meng Zitao packed up his things and returned to the place where "Qiqi" appeared just now. When he was about to reach that position, he found that the stone stake that had disappeared had reappeared, which made him pause, worried that a few "poor strange" would suddenly appear again.

Meng Zitao shook his head and smiled, he was really bitten by a snake once, and he was afraid of the well rope for ten years, not to mention anything else, he was able to defeat "Qi Qi" with one punch before, if "Qi Qi" appeared again, wouldn't it still be the same ending?

"Phew!"

At this moment, Meng Zitao suddenly heard a gunshot, although the sound was very small, but with his current hearing, he could still distinguish that this gunshot was the same sound as his submachine gun.

Meng Zitao's heart became excited: "It's the army! He's still alive!"

But then, Meng Zitao became nervous again, since the army fired, it means that it is likely to encounter danger, in case it is "poor Qi", the army does not have a yin and yang stone on it, it will definitely be difficult to defeat, then it is likely to encounter accidents...... (To be continued.) )
