29.Chapter 29
After listening to Li Laosan's words, the soldier walked to the sarcophagus, and when he got closer, he poked his head and looked inside, then raised his head and said to Li Laosan: "Empty!" There was no change in the expression on his face.
"Empty?" Li Laosan was surprised, and quickly walked to the edge of the sarcophagus, and at a glance, it was really an empty coffin. This is surprising, according to what Senior Lu said back then, if the person lying in such a suspicious coffin is not the main owner, it must be a hidden organ. But this sarcophagus turned out to be empty, it is incomprehensible, could it be that Senior Lu made a mistake? Impossible, Li Laosan thought in his heart, he had great trust in Senior Lu. If this is the case, then the only possibility is that the tomb has been stolen, and the contents of this sarcophagus have been released at some point! Thinking of this, things suddenly become complicated, and it would be easy to say if the things that were released had been cleaned up, but if not, it would be tricky.
"Let's take a look at the middle one!" Li Laosan didn't think about it, but made a categorical decision, and took over the steel drill in Lin Jun's hand, this time he was going to go into battle in person, and Lin Jun also consciously flashed aside.
The opening speed of this sarcophagus is obviously much faster than the previous one, the same coffin lid falls to the ground, and the same loud noise stirs up dust all over the ground, and the difference is that the first person to look into the coffin is replaced by Li Laosan.
It was still an empty coffin, and there was not even a grain of dust in the coffin. This made Li Laosan feel more and more difficult to be confident, and he thought to himself, could it be that everyone in which dynasty visited this tomb? destroyed the mystery in this tomb and sealed the tomb again? At this moment, Li Laosan could think of the most reasonable explanation.
"It's empty again?" This is, Anzi next to Li Laosan also found out, and he cast a puzzled look at Li Laosan.
"I guess it was stolen, I'm not sure. Li Laosan shook his head and said.
"Is this last one still on?" said the GI.
"Open!" Li Laosan said decisively.
The third, and last, sarcophagus in the chamber was finally opened. This time, Li Laosan's master and apprentice looked inside together, and even Lin Jun's subordinate, who was in charge of opening the coffin, seemed to be sure that this must be an empty coffin, so he also had the courage to step forward and take a look.
However, the coffin was not empty, and in the coffin lay a skeleton that was covered with insects the size of an adult man's thumb, and as soon as the lid was opened, the corpses began to crawl out.
"What is so big!" Lin Jun also came over and was taken aback when he saw those corpse insects.
"Corpse insects, who specialize in eating dead human flesh, are generally not too big, these are a bit exaggerated!" Li Laosan answered Lin Jun's question while motioning for everyone to retreat, and at this time he seemed to understand why the two sarcophagi were empty.
"Such a big one, how many dead people do you have to eat!" Lin Jun retreated again and again, far away from the sarcophagus.
"Seven!" the soldier replied to Lin Jun's question, and he and Li Laosan wanted to go together.
"Seven, you mean they ate the seven people who were here last time?" Anzi suddenly said: "No wonder I said that the corpses of those seven people are gone, it turns out that they have become the food of these corpse worms!"
"That's right, and I think there was this thing in these two empty sarcophagi, this sarcophagus will be empty, maybe it's just a collective foraging for food!" Li Laosan said sternly, at this time, there happened to be a corpse insect crawling to the edge of the sarcophagus, Li Laosan poked it with the steel drill in his hand, and the corpse worm was immediately broken into two, and the blood that flowed out was the same as human blood.
"Third brother, look!" the soldier suddenly pointed to the sarcophagus and said loudly.
Li Laosan looked in the direction of the soldier's finger, because the corpse insects in the sarcophagus crawled out, so the skeleton that was originally covered was exposed, and I don't know if it was because of the age or the reason why it was attached by corpse insects all year round, this skeleton actually showed a rare dark red, he put his hands on his chest, and he also had a scabbard in his hand. Li Laosan took a closer look, and the scabbard seemed to match the sword inserted in the ground in the tomb before.
Several corpse insects crawled out of the sarcophagus and landed on the ground on the powder sprinkled in the circle of photographs, and after rolling a few times, they turned into pus.
"These bugs are afraid of graphite and glutinous rice!" Anzi said excitedly.
"Well, quickly bring these two winds, we can't let these insects crawl out!" Li Laosan said and started to find the remaining two powders, and after getting them, he weighed them and sprinkled them into the sarcophagus, not to mention, it really worked. The powder came into contact with the corpse insects, which twitched as if they had been burned by fire, and soon fell back into the sarcophagus. Seeing this, Li Laosan sprinkled another handful of graphite powder, and the corpse insects that fell back into the sarcophagus twitched even more violently, and then began to shrink, and finally turned into a puddle of pus.
"This pair of bones can't be kept!" Li Laosan said loudly when he saw this: "These insects are maggots of tarsal bones, as long as the bones are still there, they can continue to reproduce, we have to burn this skeleton as much as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night!"
"Hmm!" the GI was always the first to stand up and respond to Li Laosan, and after he answered simply, he had already turned around to get the gasoline and ignition tools that had been prepared long ago. After getting it back, he was about to pour the oil into the sarcophagus, but Li Laosan stopped him again.
"Wait, this scabbard can't be burned!"
The GI stopped, waiting for Master's next instructions.
Li Laosan reached out and went directly into the sarcophagus to get the scabbard, and when his hand touched the scabbard, he found that the scabbard actually emitted a burning sensation. He pulled out, but he couldn't, as if the skeleton was tugging at the scabbard.
Seeing that the master was struggling, the soldier put down the gasoline bottle in his hand and stepped forward to help, and the two of them worked together to pull the scabbard. This pull, even the skeleton was pulled up, but the scabbard was still stuck to his hand, as if it had been tempered with the skeleton.
The skeleton sat up violently, and two corpse worms immediately popped out of its two eyes, which were much smaller than the previous ones, and looked like newborn larvae. The two corpse insects almost crawled onto the soldier's body, but fortunately, Li Laosan pushed him early before he could dodge the general.
"Why can't you pull it out?" Lin Jun looked at the scene in front of him in surprise, at a loss.
"Try again!" Li Laosan said, Anzi and Lin Jun also went into battle together, and the four of them tried their best to finally take the scabbard from the skeleton's hand, but they also pulled it off along with the skeleton's two hands.
As soon as the scabbard left the bones, the bones fell back down, and countless corpse worms crawled out of the bones and appeared in the sarcophagus.
"It's not good, set it on fire!" Li Laosan shouted.
The GI picked up the gasoline bottle again and began pouring gasoline into the sarcophagus, and when the bottle was empty, he pulled out an American-made military lighter from his pocket. was about to light the fire, but Anzi, who was standing aside, suddenly came over and snatched the lighter.
He smiled and said, "It's a pity that such a good thing is, don't give it to me!" As he spoke, he took out a box of matches out of nowhere, and the "poof" one lit up and gently threw it into the sarcophagus, which immediately ignited a raging flame. The corpses that had just emerged from the bones danced in the flames and turned to ashes.
