Chapter 157: One Country, One City, One Death
Further inside, a chaotic hall, a dusty throne, the eyes behind the throne, looking at him lonely.
"Yes!" Cheng Yin Yun had enough strength and called out.
Although he knew that this was futile, he didn't know how to pay attention to the death of this country and a city.
He walked through the cloister, but went to look at the dormitory, which was also covered with thick dust, and went back to the place where he had lived, and there was basically no change.
It's just that on top of the stone couch, there is a quilt that has become dirty and ugly.
It was Ran Ran's snow fox fur quilt, and there was a ball next to it, which was a ferret quilt given to her by the national teacher.
What does it mean that two quilts were lifted and thrown at the end of the bed? And then all living here?
Cheng Yin gasped a few times sadly, approached the bed, reached out to stroke the thick dusty bedding, and saw a small dagger next to the pillow, he picked up the dagger, because the action was too urgent, knocked over the pillow.
The dusty pillow fell to the ground, and he didn't realize it, just looked at the stone slab under the pillow intently.
There is a dagger, engraved with the name of Chengyin.
His name is not easy to write, the queen has always written crookedly, and the strokes engraved on it are rough like the brushwork of a three-year-old child.
But how deep is this love?
Eight years apart, how many nights did she use her tears to grind %1%Ben%Read %Novels xstxt with a blade, carving her name on the stone couch?
Cheng Yin hooked the corners of his lips, and his lips moved.
Silly girl.
I'm back, where are you?
Cheng Yin glanced at the palace, the corridor, and the palace, and he walked through them all.
When he saw the exposed bones, he picked them up and put them away, and later, next to the queen's bedchamber, he found a parchment roll that had been waved to a corner crevice.
As soon as Chengyin saw it, he knew who wrote it.
The Chinese language of the national teacher Enar was taught by him himself, and he would not fail to recognize it.
This parchment may have been just one of them, with only one fragment written, but Seung-yin could still understand what was going on here.
He looked at it, and it was written the Queen's funeral.
"Although he died of illness and was not satisfactory, it was better than being a sword soldier and becoming a prisoner." With a wry smile, he clutched the parchment and turned to walk towards the secret passage.
It was already clear that the Queen's departure had left the barrier here chaotic and invaded by outsiders...... The absence of a large number of corpses in the city suggests that the population must have been taken captive.
I wonder if there are any survivors? Enar? What about Tomor?
He hurried to the secret passage, not realizing that the lanterns on both sides had disappeared, only the one at the end was still on.
It was also the only lamp that could not be taken away, it was the mechanism that opened the secret passage, he twisted it, and saw that the secret passage had been entered, and it was entered into the snake cave, could it be that the enemy was led to the snake cave?
He went to the side that led to the mausoleum, where he had come once, when the Queen's father, Khan, had been buried.
At this time, a crack opened in the tomb door.
A skeleton that slumped through the crack of the door.
This place is very hidden, there is no wind and sand, the armor of this skeleton is relatively well preserved, and behind him, there are several arrows that have dropped their tail feathers.
Cheng Yin squatted down, ripped off the hem of his clothes, and collected the bones one by one.
When he removed the armor that held the bones, a small jade stone rolled out.
It is engraved with the words of the Tang Dynasty and the Jade Fuling Kingdom.
Chengyin's tears slowly slipped down.
"Erner, good boy...... Do you want to guard her in the tomb? Chengyin paused and sighed: "Persist until the death of the country, the jade seal is still on your body, you are a warrior......"
He put away the bones of Enar, put the jade seal and the bones together, tied them with the hem of his clothes, and pushed open the heavy stone door.
The burial mound here is not as thick as the Central Plains, and this huge mountain cavity is full of yellow sand, and the royal family buried it under the yellow sand in a boat-shaped coffin made of wood and leather.
Then, erect a log in the burial place.
The person who was buried could be distinguished by the size and thickness of the wood.
Cheng Yin took the oil from the tomb, put the arrows together, wrapped them in rags, made a simple torch, and lit them with flint.
He held a torch to light a hidden lampstand behind the tomb, and the warm light of the fire dispelled a little darkness, and Chengyin turned around and pushed the tomb door shut, closing the tomb from the inside.
He didn't pay attention to how many people were buried here, he glanced at the wood on the sand dunes in the distance, and soon found the person he was looking for.
Approaching with a torch, I saw a strange phenomenon.
The Jade Fuling Kingdom, which has never wanted people to be buried, actually leaned on a person next to the queen's wooden pillar this time.
Of course, that can't be called a "man" anymore, he's just a skeleton sitting cross-legged.
Dressed in sophisticated armor, he has a waist knife across his leg.
Cheng Yin stared at it for a long time, and said with a smile: "Tomor, you didn't break the contract, until you died, you stayed outside her door." ”
The tears in his eyes couldn't stop flowing, Tomor was obviously buried with him to guard the queen's tomb, he was sitting here, wearing the best armor that the Jade Fuling Kingdom could forge, he must have followed the queen.
After the death of the queen, the national teacher Ernar still guarded the country until the city was broken, and he was seriously injured, leading people into the snake cave, carrying the jade seal, and wanted to rush to the queen's tomb and die with her.
It's a pity that it's one step behind.
Cheng Yin placed the cloth bag containing the bones of Ernar next to the pillar of the tomb, bowed to the bones of Tomor, bowed with his fists, bypassed him, and began to dig the sand with his hands.
When he dug into the coffin, he stopped.
The planks are put together in the shape of a boat, and the beloved objects with them sleep in it with their owners, and then sealed with layers of leather, which is the rule here.
"Yes, I won't disturb your rest...... Sleep well, I'll be with you, as before...... I owe you love, life and life, and I will pay it back slowly. He drew his dagger and made a cut in his wrist.
"Erner, Tomor, you have worked hard." He glanced at Tomor's back.
After saying this, Tomor, who had been leaning against the pillar of the tomb, collapsed with a bang, raising fine dust.
Cheng Yin didn't open the coffin, but lay down in the sand pit, holding the coffin with his bloody hands, and said with a smile: "I can bring back your half of the jade, is the half in your hand in this coffin?" ”
"If in the ...... Even if it's all done......"
He said lazily, watching the light of the torch planted beside him dim, and a slender black shadow slowly poked its head out from the edge of the pit.
Cheng Yin squinted his eyes, which had begun to dim, and looked at the black shadow, which spat out the letter, causing Cheng Yin to chuckle.
"I almost forgot...... The snake cave is behind this...... O Mother Serpent, after so many years of living with you in peace, can you guard this place for her? ”
"A hundred years and a thousand years, the vicissitudes of life...... If anyone disturbs, I hope you can protect her...... I'll give you this skin, but ...... Don't move these bones......"
Cheng Yin closed his eyes, leaned on the cold leather on his forehead, and slowly fell asleep.
…………
"Big brother, you see how many bones there are here! There must be something good in this coffin...... Ay! Mother Xipi, what the hell bites me! ”
"White ...... Bugger? Hey, hey, hey! What happened to you! ”
"Big brother, he's dead! This bug is poisonous! ”
"What the are you doing, burning with fire! Hook! Hurry up and open the coffin! Hey, hey! Hook you-"
"Big brother can't do it, these are, yes, they're poisonous snakes, ahh
"Fuck! Grab something and get out! Remove! Remove! ”
"Hurry up and close the door! Close the door! If it doesn't work, put on the explosives! ”
"You can't blow it up, big brother! It's the mountains! We're all buried alive when it's blown up—"
……
"Damn, Sun Hezi dug Tanglin and fished a bowl full of money, let's go to this place where birds don't shit, and finally found the ruins of an ancient city, how did we encounter a snake cave...... So many people have died, and nothing has been caught yet. ”
"Big brother, now those foreigners have run to Xinjiang and pulled away a lot of things, the tombs of the Central Plains, all dynasties have been dug into hornet's nests, we can't get anything...... You see, this time it wasn't for nothing, I pulled this thing out of the hook's hand. ”
"What is this?"
"Taken from the white bones on the coffin...... This is jade, it's a little red, it must be soaked in blood, and it has to be taken care of...... This kind of ancient jade is valuable. ”
"It's worth your size, damn it, a piece of tattered jade, gold in troubled times! What Lao Tzu wants is gold! What can you buy a gun with no gold? ”
"Well, big brother, we can take it back to Beiping, or go to Tianjin to sell it to foreigners, foreigners like this thing, let's make up a story, they will be stunned."
“…… You're shrewd! ”
"But this cemetery ...... It's a pity that I couldn't see what's inside the coffin. ”
"Hi...... What's the hurry, the birds don't here, no one knows, let's leave a treasure for our children and grandchildren, and when things are alive in the future, let people dig ......"
"That's how the you like me! Hahaha......"
………
Sixty years later-
"What is this bag? Gold and silver jewelry? ”
"Just open it and take a look - hey, my old lady's diary says that this is a snake cave, and you have flamethrowers in your hands!"
"Cut, a bag of rotten bones! It's so good! ”
"You fucking have some virtue, and the dead man's bones are still kicked?"
"Are you sick, do you still talk about morality when you come to dig a grave? Lao Tzu is still waiting to be lifted into the coffin and make a fortune...... You don't know that we have tens of thousands of thousands of households, envying the dead. ”
"Shut up, it's a bit taboo!"
"Okay, okay, you're the boss, you have the final say, what's wrong? Do you want everything in this coffin? ”
"Well, take the contents out, and I'll give you 100,000."
"Okay, let's do it, brothers do the work!"
“…… Hey, where are so many little bugs popping up? ”
"You're afraid of bugs, you can't just bounce them off - ahhhh Fire! Fire! Hurry up! ”
"It's all said this is a snake cave! You fools! Hurry up and burn back-to-back! You, go open the coffin and take the contents with me! ”
“…… Inside, inside, there's a dry corpse inside! ”
"You know the! Take it away!"
