Chapter 0381: Treasure

Hundreds of years ago, Zheng He took away the Yin and Yang Ring from here, and it definitely has its value and significance. Combined with what had happened, as well as the observations in front of him, Ling Xiao had a very intuitive idea, that is, the Yin and Yang Ring may be the "key" to open this stone door.

Although this is just his own idea, it is nothing to give it a try, after all, Jenny has already tested it with her written test just now, and if there is any hidden weapon, the pen must have been scrapped. Without a hidden weapon, there would be no danger, and his confidence in giving it a try was even stronger.

Ling Xiao stood in the middle of the stone gate, raised his right hand, and slowly put the index finger of his right hand into the hole.

The index finger is inserted little by little, pointing straight to the whole. The size and depth of the hole was just right, not deep, not shallow, not too big, not too small, just enough to accommodate his index finger in its entirety.

Shimen didn't react, Ling Xiao didn't feel anything unusual, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed in his heart, and said secretly: "My guess should be correct, how can there be no reaction?" Did I guess wrong? This hole is not the place to open the stone door? Or do I need something else to open it? ”

"Ling, you're fine, are you?" Jenny looked at Ling Xiao curiously. She felt that it was strange that Ling Xiao had stuck his index finger into the hole without making any movement.

Ling Xiao came back to his senses, and he pulled his finger back, wanting to stab him twice or something. However, he was surprised to find that his index finger was stuck in the hole and could not be pulled out.

At this moment, the Yin Yang Ring suddenly released a wave of energy. This feeling was all too familiar to him, it was the mysterious energy carried in the Yin Yang Ring. Until now, as the owner of the Yin and Yang Ring, he hadn't even figured out the nature of that energy.

A second later, Ling Xiao clearly felt the inside of the hole in the stone door spin, as if he had turned the lock cylinder with a key. Immediately, a clicking sound came from inside the stone door, which slowly moved open, and his fingers loosened.

Ling Xiao pulled his fingers out, but the stone door was still moving inward, and the gap it opened was getting bigger and bigger.

A minute later, the stone door was fully opened, and an ancient and mysterious space was completely revealed to Ling Xiao and Jenny.

It was a huge vaulted stone chamber, like a church hall in medieval Europe, with a tall and large space. Hundreds of oil lamps burned silently, emitting enough light to illuminate every corner.

These oil lamps must have been burning for hundreds of years, and it is not known what system provided them with the oil and wicks that could burn for hundreds of years. These oil lamps alone are enough to make people feel shocked.

The space resembling the hall of a church is filled with exquisite stone carvings and frescoes. The stone carvings and murals feature pirate warriors, women, and imaginary animals such as a winged horse, an oriental unicorn and a dragon.

Beneath the main wall of the vaulted space stands not a statue of Christ or a Buddha, but a stone statue of a very beautiful female pirate. She has a round and delicate face, as well as a plump and attractive figure, in terms of physical characteristics, she has both the delicate and beautiful facial features unique to Oriental women, and the tall and plump body of Western women, looking like a mixed-race woman, not a simple Oriental woman, or a simple Western woman.

She holds a Middle Eastern-style scimitar and a round shield in her hands, and wears a Viking-style animal skin, but there is a Chinese-style phoenix hairpin stuck in her hair. In short, whether it is her appearance and figure, or the weapons, clothing, and accessories on her body, it is simply the fusion of various ethnic groups in the world.

As soon as he saw her, Ling Xiao's gaze was attracted and it was difficult to look away. A strange thought also popped up in his heart - did she steal all those things on her body as pirates?

Under the statue of the female pirate was a sarcophagus, a large sarcophagus with a tightly covered lid. The coffin is carved with relief paintings such as pirate ships and pirate battles, which are full of wildness and aggression.

"She must be Hannah!" Jenny excitedly said, "Oh my God, we've really found Hannah's grave!" ”

"I think so." Ling Xiao strode over, and his heart was also very excited.

Coming to the sarcophagus, Ling Xiao walked around the sarcophagus twice and observed it carefully.

When some archaeologists from the outside world excavated ancient tombs, many sarcophagi were poured with triad soil, seeking a sealing effect, and to open it, you need to use modern tools such as cutting machines. But the sarcophagus in front of me was very clean and pure, it was placed at the foot of the stone statue of the female pirate, the coffin lid was covered, and it was not sealed in any way, and it could be opened with an outstretched hand.

Jenny wasn't as focused as Ling Xiao, she looked around, as if looking for something, and soon she spoke again: "Strange, Ling, why didn't you see piles of gold coins and antiques?" Whether in the movies or novels, the purpose of the pirates is to store a lot of gold coins and jewelry, but here there are only stone statues and sarcophagi. ”

Ling Xiao was amused by her words, "Do you believe everything in the movies and books?" ”

Jenny was still puzzled, "Isn't it?" Even if an ordinary person dies and is buried, there will be some decent funeral goods, right? Do you know that the legendary Hannah, who is a great pirate who dominates the Indian Ocean, has hundreds of pirate ships, and when she dies, will there be no funeral goods? ”

Ling Xiao's smile slowly faded, yes, even if he is poor, when he is buried, his relatives will try their best to buy two decent funeral goods, right? The empress of the pirate world, how can her tomb be so clean?

"Well, even if you don't have piles of gold coins and jewelry, you should always have a box or two, right?" Jenny said again.

Ling Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's in the coffin, or maybe it's hidden somewhere else, we just came in, and we don't know this place yet." I'll open the coffin and take a look. ”

Jenny took two steps back, making room for Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao held the lid of the sarcophagus with both hands and pushed it to the other side.

Ooh...... The sound of the coffin lid rubbing against the coffin body came out, and the lid of the sarcophagus slowly moved to the other side.

Ling Xiao and Janie's eyes fell on the sarcophagus at the same time, and they were also stunned on the spot at the same time.

The revealed sarcophagus was covered with a white silk cloth, but there was nothing on it.

How is this possible? Ling Xiao's head was stuffed with question marks. He pushed it hard, and the lid of the coffin popped away from the coffin and fell heavily to the ground.

The sarcophagus was not empty, but at the other end of the sarcophagus was a wooden box that looked like an urn.

"Was she cremated?" Ling Xiao said in surprise.

"Pirates have a tradition of burial at sea, but not cremation, right?" Jenny wasn't really sure about this, and she said, "Won't you know the way when you open it and see it?" ”

Ling Xiao walked around to the other end of the sarcophagus and picked up the wooden box. The portion was light, and he tapped it, and the wooden box suddenly made an empty sound.

"Empty." Jenny said depressedly, "This may be a prank. ”

The pirate queen who dominates the Indian Ocean, her graveyard doesn't have a decent funerary object, and the wooden box in the sarcophagus is empty, and this kind of thing really looks like a prank from many angles.

However, Ling Xiao didn't think so. It's simple, who would have concocted such a great prank so lavishly? Aside from those exquisite stone carvings and murals, the hilltop platform outside, as well as the passage to enter here, can't it be called a miracle and a greatness?

Ling Xiao opened the lid of the wooden box, and inside was a crystal clear pill the size of a pigeon's egg, as well as a parchment scroll full of words.

The reason why he thought it was a pill was because of his intuition, Ling Xiao felt that it was somewhat similar to the afterlife pill he refined. However, he was sure that even if it was a pill, it was definitely not an afterlife pill, it looked more pure and excellent. Yes, it's better just by its color, smell and feel. This is his experience, and no one else can understand it.

This feeling made Ling Xiao's heart pound, and a bold idea also came to his heartβ€”could it be the kind of magic pill that brought Zheng He's remnants back to life?

A pill that is even more advanced than the afterlife pill, just thinking about it makes people's hearts tremble!

It was only natural that he would have such thoughts. The fact that Zheng He was once the owner of the Yin and Yang Ring is very revealing, and even "The Yellow Emperor's Outer Classics" may also have something to do with Zheng He!

However, these are Ling Xiao's own guesses, and there is no evidence to prove them. His mind quickly returned to the pills in the wooden box and the parchment scroll full of words, he looked at it for a while, but he didn't recognize the words on the parchment scroll, "Jenny, do you know the words on it?" ”

Jenny had been reading it early in the morning, but she shook her head, "No, it's not an ancient Malagasy script, and it's not any kind of script I'm familiar with." ”

Not counting the ancient characters of Madagascar, Ling Xiao himself also mastered many kinds of scripts, but it was not any kind of script that he was familiar with, so a conclusion appeared - the words on the parchment scroll were very unpopular, and if you wanted to know what was written on the parchment scroll, you had to put in a lot of effort.

"I want this pill, this parchment, is that okay?" Ling Xiao looked at Jenny, full of sincerity and tenderness.

Jenny smiled, "Why are you asking me?" You want it, you keep it, I don't have any ideas. I wouldn't have been here without you. ”

Ling Xiao said a little apologetically: "But, you don't even have a piece of loot, how can you be embarrassed?" ”

"If you have to take the loot, then ......," Jenny reached out and grabbed the white silk cloth that lay at the bottom of the coffin, "I want it." ”

The white silk cloth left the sarcophagus, and the bottom of the sarcophagus suddenly revealed a pile of golden things.

There was a secret compartment under the white silk cloth, and in the secret compartment were some gold coins and ornaments made of gold, such as rings and necklaces inlaid with precious stones, earrings and hairpins, and so on.

Jenny covered the towering front in surprise, and was stunned for a while before she cheered, "Treasure!" I knew there must be a treasure in the Dao! ”

Ling Xiao smiled: "They are all yours." ”

"No, no, I can't take it all, I'll share it with you." Jenny said seriously: "You are the one who discovers this treasure, you are the owner of this treasure, and I am already very happy if I want some of it." ”

"How does this work?" Ling Xiao knew very well the value of the pills and parchment rolls he had gotten, these two things could not be measured by gold, not even a truckload of gold!
