Chapter 0344 The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada and the Yellow Sparrow is behind
There was a woman lying in the jade coffin, without clothes, almost all of her body was exposed to the air, snow-white and crystalline, without any blood, and the whole person was like an ice sculpture. Her appearance is exactly the same as the relief on the stone door, and she is beautiful. Her figure is slender, plump and firm where she is full, and she is full and sexy where she is rich. She lay quietly in the jade coffin, very peaceful and serene, giving people the feeling that she was not dead, but asleep.
Xia Lei was surprised, "This Princess Yongmei doesn't look to be in her twenties, could it be that she died at a young age?"
There is no record of when Princess Yongmei died in the ancient books of the White Xiongnu tribe, in fact, there is no such character as "Princess Yongmei" in all the history books of Huaguo, the official history, and even folklore. Therefore, there is no way to verify when and how she died.
Xia Lei's gaze finally rested on Princess Yongmei's neck, she wore a golden necklace around her neck, and the pendant of the necklace was not a gold and jade ornament, nor a diamond agate, but a golden hand. There were a lot of jewels and jade objects around her body, all of them exquisite, but unfortunately he didn't see anything green metal, let alone anything related to "AE".
"There is no ancient alloy like Tranquility said, and there is no bronze treasure book, only a pointer, how can this be? Could it be that Princess Yongmei hid the ancient alloy and bronze treasure book somewhere else?" Xia Lei's heart was full of conjecture. Then, he pushed the lid of the jade coffin open.
The lid of the coffin was removed, and Xia Lei could see Princess Yongmei lying in the jade coffin without see-through, which was clearer and more intuitive. He felt that Princess Yongmei's skin was more delicate and delicate than he had imagined, like white petals. He reached out and poked Princess Yongmei's thigh with his finger, and Princess Yongmei's thigh suddenly became a dent, but she quickly recovered.
"Is it still resilient?" Xia Lei was shocked inexplicably.
But just as he was staring at Princess Yongmei's thighs, the corner of his eye suddenly caught Princess Yongmei's eyelids fluttering, as if opening a thin slit. This discovery startled him and hurriedly took a step back. For fear that Princess Yongmei would cheat the corpse, she suddenly reached out and grabbed his neck or something.
However, Princess Nagami didn't move, and even the action that seemed to "open her eyes" was an illusion.
Xia Lei observed for a moment and stood next to the jade coffin again. This time, he reached out and took off the necklace around Princess Nagami's neck and carefully put it in his backpack. The pointer is very important as it relates to the next treasure spot.
Then, Xia Lei stuffed all the jewels and jade items in the jade coffin into his backpack. These ancient funerary goods were so precious that no one knew that he had taken them, so as to make up for the huge amount of money he had spent on this operation.
After the jade coffin was scavenged, Xia Lei's attention returned to Princess Yongmei's corpse. At this time, he had almost gotten used to the feeling of facing the corpse of Princess Nagami, and his heart was less shocked when he first saw it, and his mind was also active.
"Without any protection, how could Princess Yongmi's body be so well preserved and not decomposed after hundreds of years......? Could it be that there is something hidden in her corpse?" Xia Lei guessed in his heart.
Stuffing the corpse with antiseptic medicine can prevent the corpse from decomposing. This practice has existed since ancient times, and this is how Egyptian mummies came about.
Thinking of this, Xia Lei's left eye jumped, and he had a deep perspective on Princess Yongmei. Princess Nagami's place was not filled with any medicine, nor was there anything in her stomach, and he could even see her intact internal organs. He then looked through her ribcage, and the organs of the ribcage were well preserved, and there was no medicine. In the end, his gaze moved to Princess Yongmei's head, and he was stunned on the spot with this perspective!
Princess Yongmei had a piece of green metal in her mouth, and if you looked closely, it turned out to be the ancient alloy described by Tranquility!
The ancient alloy contained in Princess Yongmei's mouth looks like a piece of gear, but there are few teeth, so it looks like the shape of a plausible six-pointed star, which is very peculiar and gives people a mysterious feeling.
"Princess Yongmi, I'm sorry. If you want to blame it, blame Mr. Shi, he asked me to do this, and it has nothing to do with me......" Xia Thunder God muttered such a sentence, and then reached out and pinched Princess Yongmei's jaw, and took out the ancient alloy that Princess Yongmei held in her mouth.
Just after Gu Jin left Princess Yongmei's mouth, her lips quickly dried up!
"This ......" Xia Lei couldn't believe his eyes, and was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Not only her lips, but in the blink of an eye, Princess Yongmei's skin also lost its crystal clear color, quickly turning gray and black. What's even more bizarre is that her body is like ice and snow exposed to the scorching sun, which is melting at a speed that is visible to the naked eye!
Yes, ablation!
The first to disappear were her lips, then her nose and her entire face. Her originally tall and firm breasts also quickly dissolved, first the top two points, then the entire base, and finally only the ribs!
In less than five minutes, the beautiful female corpse that was fine just now turned into a pile of dry bones. Eventually, even the dry bones fell apart and turned into a pile of gray-white ashes!
Xia Lei watched dumbfounded and motionless during the whole process. It wasn't until Princess Yongmei completely turned to ashes that he barely came back to his senses. When I touched my forehead, it was covered with cold sweat the size of beans.
What has just happened is probably beyond the reach of the world's best biologists and archaeologists gathered together!
"Princess Yongmei can preserve the corpse for hundreds of years, does it have anything to do with it?" Xia Lei's gaze shifted to the ancient alloy in his hand, and his heart was full of shock and awe.
Human beings are born with the gene of reverence for the unknown, and Xia Lei is no exception, in his heart, the ancient alloy that he came into contact with for the first time is simply a god-like existence!
Of course, there are no gods in this world, but he doesn't know what this ancient and mysterious metal is.
After a quiet scrutiny, Xia Lei's gaze focused on the ancient metal, and then he saw through it. But this time, his perspective ability was hit again, and his vision seemed to be refracted by something, and his left eye was also affected, darkened for a while, and then there was a burning sensation. Luckily, there was only a slight burning sensation, and his eyesight quickly returned to normal.
"What the hell is this?" Xia Lei's heart was surprised, he didn't dare to continue to see through. He took it in his hand and looked closely, unwilling to miss any details.
This piece of ancient alloy is roughly the same as the piece of ancient alloy described by Tranquility, the volume is very light, but the toughness and strength are extremely high, although it has not been tested, he is a person who deals with metals, how strong and tough is a metal, he can touch it, look at it and have a roughly correct judgment.
And this ancient alloy was clearly beyond his knowledge, and stronger than all the metals he had ever seen, so it was no wonder that Tranquility said it was best suited for building airplanes.
After looking at it for a while, there was no result, and Xia Lei also gave up. He also put the ancient alloy in his backpack and prepared to take it back to study.
After putting away the ancient alloy, Xia Lei left the central area where the jade coffin was located. He moved from the safety of the stone slab to a stone wall where several wooden crates were stacked. The wooden box has been treated with antiseptic, soaked in oil, and the surface is sealed with a layer of wax. There was no lock on the box, and he opened it easily.
The box was full of gold coins, and although the purity could not be compared with the current gold, it was still yellow-orange-orange, which made people excited to look at.
Xia Lei then looked through several other chests, one of which contained the same gold coins, and the rest contained some clothing, but it was rotten. Those clothes were obviously the funerary goods of Princess Yongmei, and they had been hundreds of years, and of course they could not be preserved.
Xia Lei smiled, "Two boxes of gold coins can be handed over to Sirami, as well as the porcelain in the tomb can be handed over to the Immortal Clan, I will take away the jewels in the coffin, as well as the ancient alloys, none of us will lose." ”
This is the best result, the immortal clan has benefits, Xia Lei not only completed the task, but also got the benefits, handed over the two boxes of gold coins and some porcelain antiques in the tomb to the White Huns, which can be regarded as an explanation for digging treasures in the holy land of others. You can't take all the benefits away, can you? In that case, Sirami won't be able to explain to her people.
Charley covered the box and left the burial chamber through a safe route.
When he returned to the door of the tomb, he turned and bowed deeply to the jade coffin. If it weren't for his arrival and taking away the ancient alloy, Princess Yongmei's body would not have weathered quickly. This made him feel guilty.
Squeak squeak......
Suddenly there was the sound of bats in the tunnel.
Xia Lei was shocked, and then snuffed out the tactical flashlight, and listened quietly to the sound coming from the tunnel. Soon, a swarm of bats flew up and flew into the burial chamber with him on his body. Then it disappeared from the vault of the burial chamber.
Xia Lei looked back, only to find that there was an empty stone brick on the dome of the tomb, which was the vent of the tomb. Bats can fly out of vents. He wasn't surprised by this, because he felt air moving as soon as he came in. What is certain is that there is more than one underground vent here, but he has no interest in looking for it.
Xia Lei retracted his gaze and walked up the stone tunnel. After walking less than twenty meters, he suddenly stopped.
Above him, about twenty meters away, a woman wearing a hood and a tight black leather suit was pointing a gun at him. Her eyes were covered with a heat-imaging night vision device that worked just as well in such an environment as his left eye.
"Give me the backpack and you can go. The woman said in English, her voice cold and threatening.
The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind.
At this moment, Xia Lei's mood was extremely bad, the group of bats just now would not be frightened for no reason, he should have prepared in advance, but he didn't do this, because he didn't hear anything else. In this absolutely quiet environment, even the lightest footsteps could not avoid being transmitted far away, but he did not hear the footsteps.
Xia Lei's eyes moved to the woman's feet, only to find that she was wearing no shoes on her feet, just a pair of socks, and some cotton was stuffed between the socks and the soles of her feet.
It's a clever thing to do, this woman is experienced and comes prepared!
"Didn't you hear, give me the backpack!" the woman yelled at Xia Lei.
