Chapter 38: The Burial Chamber Under the Coffin

Cold sweat broke out on my forehead, for I could see very clearly from the corner of my eye that what was hanging behind me was the dried corpse of the mountain beaver in the coffin of the golden silk nanmu. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info its black round head rested on my shoulder, while the limbs were tightly grasping my clothes, looking at it from a distance, I don't know that I would think that I was carrying a person.

Isn't this thing dead for thousands of years? Why did you suddenly jump on my back, did you really come back to life?

My back was stiff and sweaty, but my mind was still clear, and I was thinking about how to get out. This dried corpse of the mountain beaver (I prefer to call it that, because I really can't believe that this is the hegemon of the hegemonic side like Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue) is just hanging on my back for the time being, and I don't see it doing anything else, at least I'm safe for the time being, it's just ......

I turned my stiff head to look at Yang You, who was two meters away from me, gestured with a gun in my hand, and lit it desperately, hoping that she could understand that in such a situation, I could only believe in the accuracy of her hidden weapon, after all, next to the head of the dried corpse of the mountain fox was my head.

After I made a few gestures, Yang You finally understood, and gently raised her right hand, with her thumb on her middle finger, and was about to launch her hidden weapon. But I didn't expect that at this time, the dry corpse of the mountain beaver who had been motionless suddenly put his head into my neck, opened his long and thin mouth slightly, and showed a row of fangs.

Mom, is this dry corpse trying to bite my neck and suck blood? I hurriedly tilted my neck, and just then, I heard a cracking sound, followed by a "poof".

Yang You's secret weapon took advantage of the moment when I turned my head, and accurately hit the skeleton of the mountain beaver's dried corpse, and the splashed corpse water was extremely smelly, spraying me in the face, so disgusting that I almost vomited.

The weapon was so sharp that the corpse was knocked backwards, and it could have been used to make it fall from my back. But what I didn't expect was that its hands and feet were holding on to my clothes, and I fell backwards with it.

Behind me was the coffin, and when I was unsteady on my feet, the dried corpse of the mountain raccoon fell heavily into the coffin with me, and my spine ached, but I was lying on the coffin.

The back of my head hit the pillow of the coffin, and before I could come to my senses, I heard the sound of "Caracalla" around the coffin, and then I felt the whole coffin slowly sink into the ground.

No one expected it this time, I couldn't care about the pain anymore in shock, and struggled to stand up, but saw that the coffin had fallen two meters, and Yang You and Luo Dascar were surprised and rushed forward. I was about to jump up and let them pull me up, but I didn't expect the sound of "Caracalla" to suddenly stop, and then I heard a loud "thump" and the falling coffin stopped at the same time.

As the coffin stopped, the coffin wall on the right suddenly collapsed with a "chirping", revealing a hole half a person high.

There was a hint of cold wind, no, it can't be said to be the wind, the feeling of pen and ink was really indescribable, but it was just that momentary feeling, but it made the hairs on my whole body stand up, my whole body was cold, and I couldn't move.

"Huang Shang, are you okay? Don't scare us. Luo Dascar saw that I was motionless above my head, and shouted loudly.

My body trembled, and after he shouted, I came back to my senses, looked up and said to them, "I'm fine, but I seem to have touched some mechanism, here, there's a hole here, I don't know where it leads." ”

I lowered my body and looked at the hole, but it was pitch black and I couldn't see anything. Just then, I heard a "snap", a piece of rope was thrown from above, and then Yang You climbed the rope from above and fell onto the coffin.

With a torch in her hand, she shone into the cave, and could roughly see the floor tiles in the cave, but she could only see within 2 meters, and she couldn't see it from any distance.

"What's going on? Why is there a hole under the coffin of the king of Nanyue? I asked.

Yang You frowned slightly, and said: "I don't know, but judging from the arrangement of his mausoleum by Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, maybe this is the real place where he is buried." ”

I remembered that Professor Jia said before that Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, had laid countless doubts for his tomb, if it is really as Yang You said, I am afraid that this is the biggest doubtful tomb. Which tomb robber would have thought that after all the hardships of opening the coffin, it was not the king of Nanyue who was wearing a golden jade robe, but a fake that he laid to hide people's eyes?

At this time, Luo Dascar and Mango Head also climbed down the rope, Luo Dascar looked at the dark and secluded hole, and said, "Why am I panicking here, or don't go in?" ”

I also thought this in my heart, this ancient tomb is full of dangers, and it is a great thing to be able to survive. Even if this cave is really the true body of the old boy of Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, thousands of years have passed, at most there is a dried corpse left, it is really not worth risking for it, will there be a funeral goods in this cave that are more valuable than the golden jade clothes?

I just wanted to tell Yang You what I thought in my heart, but I didn't think she would bend down, so I got into the half-human-high hole, I was in a hurry, grabbed her arm, and said: "It may be very dangerous here, no matter how valuable the dead person's things are, they are not as valuable as their own lives, so don't go in." ”

Yang You looked at me, pulled my hand away, and said, "I have my own reasons to go in, of course, for you, there is really no need to take any more risks." You go out first, and if, if I don't come out in an hour, you remember to go all the way east, and you can find the thief hole we have made and get out. With that, he raised his torch and entered the cave.

I watched Yang You go farther and farther in the dark, but in my heart I was at the time of the battle between heaven and man, according to common sense, I had no reason to go in and take risks, but when I wanted to turn around and leave, there was a voice in my heart saying that I must go in, otherwise I will regret my life, just like something is calling me in front of me.

When I raised my head to look at Yang You again, I had already made a decision in my heart, and immediately turned my head to Luo Dascar and Mango Head and said, "You are waiting for us outside, if, if Teacher Yang and I don't come out, you will ......"

", Huang Shang, what kind of bird are you talking about, if you want to go in, go in together, you go in and we'll wait outside, what's the matter?" Before I could finish my words, I was interrupted by Luo Dascar, and he should have crossed me first, got into the hole and chased Yang You.

I was stunned, but I heard Mango Tou say: "Uncle, Brother Big Scar is right, even if we want to die, we will die together." Let's go. ”

Having said that, what else could I say, not to mention that I am not a mother-in-law, so I immediately turned around and got into the hole. Yang You heard our voices in front of him and stopped to look at us, as if he was a little surprised.

I walked up to her and said, "Don't get me wrong, in fact, we still have a strong desire to explore unknown things, and if this is really the true body of Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, the funeral goods inside must be more precious than the golden jade clothes." ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for her to react, and walked in first. So everyone didn't say much, and walked carefully all the way in the passage that the two people came to, originally thinking how far there was still to go, but in fact they walked for less than two minutes, and even if they were at the end, a catacomb, no more than three meters high, no more than four meters long and wide, appeared in front of us.

It's just that when we saw the scene in the tomb, we were all stunned.

In the middle of the empty burial chamber, a burial bag appeared there very abruptly.

I thought I was wrong, and wiped my eyes, but no matter what angle I looked at, what appeared in the middle of the tomb was a tomb bag, yes, the kind of mountain tomb that can be seen everywhere in the north and south of China. And the dried corpse of the mountain fox that fell into the coffin with me just now does not know when it entered this mysterious tomb, lying motionless in front of the grave bag, and I don't know if I am dead or not.

"Uncle, I'm not mistaken, how can there be a grave bag here?" Mango asked me while wiping his eyes.

I didn't answer, not because I didn't want to answer, but because I wanted someone to ask. There is mystery everywhere in this tomb, and even such unthinkable things are there.

At this time, Yang You slowly walked to the grave bag, first squatted down and looked at the dried corpse of the mountain beaver, but saw that its skull and head exploded into two, even if it lived for a thousand years and was resurrected, it could no longer die under Yang You's stunt.

"Here, is there really a buried king of Nanyue? Why is it that the princes and generals of a thousand years ago, like the ordinary poor people, were buried in a small grave? I walked to the grave bag and looked at it and asked Yang You.

Yang You frowned, didn't answer, suddenly turned to look at me, and said, "Huang Shang, I want you to help me dig this grave together!" ”

"What's in there you're looking for?" Seeing her resolute expression, I asked with a move in my heart.

I thought she wouldn't answer, but who knew she nodded.

I turned to look at Luo Dascar and Mango Head, and saw that they were also looking at me, and I knew that they were waiting for my idea, and they had come to this point, so what else to say. But just as I was about to speak, there seemed to be a burning sensation in my chest, and the burning became more and more obvious as I got closer to the burial bag. I reached inside my garment and pulled out a ball of linen cloth, which was covered with the silver needle that my grandfather had handed me to me.

Could it be that it wants me, the descendant of the ploughing, to dig this thousand-year-old grave?

I dismantled the linen cloth, unwrapped the oiled paper, took out the silver needle, and under Yang You's strange gaze, I dismantled the silver needle piece by piece, and walked to the front of the grave bag.

"Huang Shang, what do you want to do?" Yang You finally couldn't help but ask.

I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that my action was really inexplicable, scratched my head, and said, "To be honest, I don't know either." But this is my ancestral silver needle, which is specially used for digging graves, and I don't know why, I think I have to give it a try. ”

Yang You didn't speak, but stared at the silver needle in my hand tightly, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking. When I saw that she did not speak, I took the silver needle and walked to the grave bag, looked at it, found a high point, and slowly inserted the silver needle.

Silver needle probe, if the needle is yellow, it means that there is no spirit underground, and you can plow the ground with peace of mind; If the needle turns black, remember not to be greedy; If the needle turns red, then turn around and leave, and you can't stay.

I remembered what my grandfather had taught me, and slowly pulled out the silver needle, only to find that the silver needle was shining green in the light of the torch, which immediately made my forehead sweat. That's not right, it's not right, grandpa didn't tell me that this silver needle can turn green when inserted into it, what the hell is going on?

"Huang Shang, how is it? Can you plan? Luo Dascar walked over and looked at it and asked.

I saw Yang You also looking at me, and remembered my grandfather's words, "The moon rises and you don't plan, you see the red and you don't plan, and you don't plan." The moon is not visible in this underground burial chamber, and the silver needle has become green and does not match Grandpa's words, only this planing is hollow, three times to stop, if this third planing is empty......

Thinking of this, I said to Luo Dascar: "Let's do it, remember to stop three times, don't be in a hurry." ”

Luo Dascar took out the special pickaxe taken out of my grandfather's ancestral house from his backpack, jumped on the grave bag, and stopped three times according to my words, and began to plan. Although the covering soil on the grave bag has been piled up for thousands of years, it was cut open by Luo Dascar in three or two clicks, and his movements were very fast, or the coffin in the grave bag was buried very shallowly, and I didn't have time to listen carefully to whether it had been hollowed out, and it had already been dug up.

The coffin inside the tomb has been buried in the soil for nearly a thousand years, and there is no sign of decay at all, and it must have been made of wood such as golden silk nanmu, but I don't know if it was buried in the soil, showing a jet-black color.

Since there was no nail picker, Luo Dascar used a pickaxe instead, and I took Yang You's Luoyang shovel, and Luo Dascar was alone and pried the coffin open.

The coffin board rattled and flipped to the side, and I took two steps back, and when I saw that there was no danger, I walked over with a torch.

I saw a dried corpse lying in the coffin, the clothes were rotten, and it was too dead to die anymore. The corpse had a pendant chain around its neck, and under the chain was a black object, which had no luster at all, and its shape was irregular, like broken stones everywhere on the side of the road.

When Yang You saw it, her face was happy, it was obvious that the falling chain was what she was looking for, but she was not in a hurry, she carefully checked in the coffin first, until she was sure that there was no mechanism, and then took off the falling chain on the neck of the dried corpse.

"Teacher Yang, what kind of treasure is this? I don't look like anything of value! Luo Da Scar stared at the pendant chain in Yang You's hand and asked.

Yang You didn't speak, grabbed the black stone in his hand, and suddenly picked out the dried corpse from the coffin with a Luoyang shovel, smashed it on the ground, and said fiercely: "The bird occupies the dove's nest, you should also get retribution, demon!" ”

Luo Da Scar Mango and I were dumbfounded, I didn't expect Yang You to come to this hand, could it be that she has some kind of hatred with this dry corpse? It's not right to think about it, how many years have been dead here.

At this moment, I heard the sound of "Kara, Kara" from the ground of the burial chamber, and suddenly the whole burial chamber shook, and we were caught off guard and fell to the ground one after another.

"Oh no, did we touch the mechanism?" I got up and shouted, and then I heard the sound of "bang, bang, bang".
