Chapter 76: Pheasant Snake Eggs (Text)

"There's not going to be another living dead hiding here, is there?"

Thinking of the terrifying appearance of the living dead just now, Zhang Meng couldn't help but shudder.

"Probably not, the living dead are different from zombies, the muscles on their bodies have long been weathered, where did they get so much strength to lift the lid of the coffin?" Chen lame thought for a moment and shook his head and said.

"Ah Meng, you wait here, this coffin is very likely to be the place where King Guangchuan's body is stored, and the clues that your father is tracking are in the coffin."

A scorching light flashed in Chen's crippled eyes.

Over the years, the biggest knot in his heart was the trip to Lop Nur, and he is still confused. Thinking that all the secrets were about to be revealed, Chen Cripple's body couldn't help but tremble.

"It's too dangerous for you to go alone, old lame, and I think it's better not to see it."

The sick man looked at the dark coffin not far away, and though he was equally eager to know the answer, reason told him that there was probably something extremely bad hidden in this coffin.

"No way!"

Zhang Meng and Chen Cripple said almost in unison. Chen Cripple and Zhang Meng glanced at each other, and they both saw the desire to know the answer in each other's eyes.

"Uncle Ghost, we are all here, only a few steps away from this coffin, I am unwilling to give up now!" Zhang Meng gritted his teeth and said.

The purpose of his coming here is to know what is the secret that his father has been wandering for many years, and has been searching for so much. What happened to him, and why did Raiko say that he was a dead man in the first place?

Although Zhang Meng didn't come out, everything made Zhang Meng feel creepy, and if he didn't figure out these things, I'm afraid he would never be at ease.

"Alas......"

The sick man sighed, not knowing what to think.

"Ah Meng, you take the folding shovel for self-defense, the old ghost, you hold the fire hammer, if there is anything in the coffin, don't ask for anything to reward it with a few steel beads first! After checking the coffin, we quickly tried to find a way to go back, I always felt that something was peeping on me, and I would really go crazy if I continued like this. Chen said with a wry smile.

The sick ghost's expression suddenly became stern, just like when someone else peeps at you for a long time, you will have a sixth sense to be able to detect this voyeurism. In this tomb, it seems that there is always a pair of eyes watching everyone's every move in the dark.

"Well, let's move forward together. Be careful, it's so weird, God knows what's hidden in that coffin. The sick man nodded.

Zhang Meng and the others quietly crawled to the top of the stone platform with bated breath, although a trap had just been eliminated, but a few people did not dare to be careless, who could assert that the entire stone platform was such a mechanism?

The things in the coffin seemed to sense Zhang Meng's approach, and the sound of 'dong dong' suddenly stopped, and the originally noisy tomb suddenly quieted down, which made Zhang Meng feel that the atmosphere was a little quiet and weird.

Chen Cripple didn't dare to be careless at all, and in a short distance, several people walked for almost twenty minutes before coming to the coffin.

Fortunately, I didn't find any other mechanisms along the way, otherwise it would have been a lot of trouble.

The exterior of this coffin is dark, with a faint smell of sandalwood, and it seems to be a valuable wood. The surface of this coffin is smooth, and there is no carving, so it is impossible to tell whether the body inside is the king of Guangchuan.

"Hey, this is the Tiankong coffin, be careful, there may be living creatures in it!"

Chen's face changed suddenly, and he pointed to the hole in the coffin lid with two fingers.

This kind of coffin hole is called 'Tiankong', it is spread among the princes of the Western Han Dynasty, the coffins of the Western Han Dynasty are generally relatively huge, some young poisonous insects and beasts will be placed in it, they will be separated from the corpses in the coffin, dig a vent, and then put enough food in the coffin, let them guard the coffin.

"Be careful, there's probably nothing good going to be in this coffin! Back then, the old lame man and I dug the tomb of King Jing of Beihai, and there was still a bunch of pheasant snake eggs hidden in the coffin. This kind of snake eggs are grayish yellow, very similar to the color of human skin, and only a little size, when the coffin is opened, many people give these snake eggs to stick to the body, these snake eggs hatch by body temperature after the pheasant snake, hula and burrow into the human body. The three brothers who opened the coffin were almost all empty in the end, and even when one person was talking to me, a small blue snake suddenly appeared from his eye, and I didn't know until later. ”

Chen's face was very bad, and the terrifying sound that the coffin had just made confirmed his judgment.

"Fortunately, we didn't open the coffin at that time, otherwise I'm afraid we would have been hit." When it comes to the coffin of Tiankong, the sick ghost also looks frightened.

Zhang Meng listened to what Chen Cripple said was terrifying, and quickly took a few steps back and asked curtly.

"What should I do now, Uncle Cripple?"

"It's not difficult to deal with this kind of thing, but this method hurts the heavens and the peace, and it will definitely lose its life in the future!"

"Uncle Cripple, you don't come, anyway, you have dug so many graves, you will definitely die a good death in the future, what means are there to hurry up, don't grind." Zhang Meng heard it funny, and hurriedly squeaked happily.

Chen lame shook his head and groped for a small handful of sand from the ground, put it in the palm of his hand, spit out a mouthful of saliva and rubbed it a few times, and then stuffed the wet clump of sand into the two heavenly holes.

"Since this coffin has opened the heavenly hole, it means that the thing inside must need air, let's plug this air hole, first suffocate the thing inside, wait for half an hour, it is estimated that it will be about the same."

Zhang Meng and the others sat on the stone platform boredly and waited, although they were a little anxious, but they had to know the weirdness of the 'Tiankong coffin', and they didn't dare to open the coffin rashly.

"By the way, Uncle Cripple's coffin seems to have been propped up just now, will it leak air?"

Chen lame stared at the coffin carefully, he shook his head and said, "No, there is a mezzanine in this kind of coffin, and the layer inside is generally sealed, and the air can only enter through the two heavenly holes." ”

I don't know how long I waited, but a hoarse pop suddenly sounded in Zhang Meng's ears, as if someone was breathing heavily.

"Wow......"

A sharp, hoarse voice suddenly exploded from the coffin, the sound seemed to be a baby's hysterical howl, it came extremely suddenly, Zhang Meng was so frightened that he almost rolled off the stone platform four or five meters high.

"There's not going to be a kid here, is it? Or shall we get rid of this sand? Zhang Meng screamed a little hairy, and he said with some hesitation.

"You're a cute boy, it's just a child, it's also an old monster who has lived for thousands of years, what are you talking about." Chen Cripple almost became angry when he heard this.

'Knock knock'!

The coffin suddenly trembled violently, as if the things inside were desperately hammering the coffin, and the coffin weighing hundreds of pounds actually shook a little bit to the force.
