Chapter 600: The Golden Thread of Jade Clothes
I saw that the big Gu worm didn't know when, it had completely broken free from the iron chains connected to its body, and at this moment it was dying, half of its body was hanging on the hard Gobi Desert in the outer circle of the quicksand, and the other half was floating on the upper layer of the quicksand.

It must have known what kind of damage it would bring to breaking free from the chain, otherwise it would not have been able to obediently stay in the quicksand and guard this sun tomb before, but the pain caused by the scarab beetle was obviously more intense, so when the pain was unbearable, it finally did this crazy thing - suicide!
At this time, it probably had its last breath left, and it looked like a huge balloon that had been deflated, its size had been reduced by half, and the green liquid that was constantly flowing from its ruptured tail had even stained the quicksand behind it, but the scarab beetle was still forgetting its "homework".
So much so that all the eyeballs on its body have fallen off, and there are still several large pieces of skin on its body that have been directly spread out, revealing the flesh and blood that is still wriggling inside...... Without bones, this guy is like a lot of bugs, and all that sustains his body is muscles, internal organs, and green bodily fluids.
It no longer struggled, it didn't even have the strength to scream, it just lay motionless and let the scarabs slaughter, many of which burrowed in and out of the bare organs, carrying small balls of flesh one by one, and were very happy.
“……”
The entire air was filled with a fishy and smelly smell, which irritated Pang Xiaodou's nasal cavity, "It seems that this big guy can't pose any threat to me anymore, it's time to go in." ”
Pang Xiaodou could imagine what kind of pain the big Gu worm had gone through to end his life in such a heroic way, but he was not the kind of person who was compassionate to the heavens and people, not to mention that this big guy was neither heaven nor human......
Covering his nose, Pang Xiaodou drove the [Swift Lovebird] to the center of the Sun Tomb smoothly - that small piece of place tightly surrounded by huge wooden stakes, this is the entrance to the Sun Tomb, and there is no need to divide the gold and the cave.
Then, he finally got into it without any problems.
……
The foothold is a slender corridor made of rocks, only more than 1 meter wide, at most it can accommodate two people walking side by side, and there is no lighting in it, but fortunately, the darkness here is different from the soul ladder that I encountered at the beginning, not the kind of darkness that I can't see my fingers, and I can barely have a dim vision of 4-5 meters.
"Huh."
Pang Xiaodou is already a crazy person, and this will not affect him in any way.
"Boom!"
Before he could move, he had already taken out a torch and lit it, and his vision instantly widened a lot, but it was limited to this narrow corridor.
The corridor was empty, except for the exit teleportation array behind him, there was nothing worthy of Pang Xiaodou's nostalgia, so he walked down the corridor little by little.
After walking about 20 meters or so, a wall appeared in front of me, and it seemed that we had reached the top of the corridor.
And it wasn't until he got closer that Pang Xiaodou noticed.
It's not a dead end, it's a "T-shaped" intersection where you can choose to go left or right......
It was at this time.
"Shhh...... What is this wall ......? ”
Pang Xiaodou noticed that the wall in front of him was completely different from the previous corridor, and the wall was not built by rocks, but by wooden strips with a diameter of only 5 centimeters, which were stacked on top of each other, arranged very neatly.
Seeing this scene, Pang Xiaodou already had an answer in his heart.
But he still approached the "wooden wall" and examined it carefully, the wooden core of these wooden sticks showed a bright yellow, and the bark of the trees had all been removed, and although it had been a long time, these wooden sticks showed signs of drying and cracking, but after getting closer, he could still smell a faint fragrance of cypress.
"Hehe, it's really 'Yellow Intestine Question', it seems that the scale of this mysterious tomb is not much bigger, but the identity is not low."
Pang Xiaodou laughed, and finally confirmed his answer.
The so-called "yellow intestine inscription" is a kind of tomb form that prevailed in the Zhou Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, and the Zi Palace, the bedchamber, the outer coffin, the golden jade clothes and other settings are integrated, generally only the tombs of the emperors of the past dynasties are qualified to use such a tomb form.
"Yellow intestines" refers to these peeled yellow cypresses.
The "inscription" describes the placement of these cypress trees, just like Pang Xiaodou saw, they are tiled and stacked layer by layer, and all of them must be perpendicular to the coffin siding on the same side, so that whether you look from the inside or from the outside, you can only see the ends (cross-sections) of these wooden strips, and the name of the inscription is derived from this specific way.
Of course, with the later development, individual officials or favored ministers who received special gifts from the emperor can also use the "yellow intestine inscription".
However, when entering the burial, you can't use the "golden jade clothes", and you can only use the corresponding specifications of "silver jade clothes" or "copper jade clothes".
The so-called "jade clothes" can also be very vividly called "jade box" or "jade sheng", which is the highest standard funeral clothes of the Han Dynasty, and its production process is to connect countless jade pieces and make a human shape to wrap the corpse tightly, just like a big sleeve.
The ancients believed that jade was the "elite of the mountains", and that wrapping the body with jade could prevent the essence of the corpse from leaking out, and play a role in preventing the bones from decaying and seeking regeneration in the next life.
It turns out that this is actually useless, and the corpse that is not wrapped tightly enough will rot as much as it should be, and finally turn into dust, leaving only an empty shell of jade clothes, and wrapped tightly...... In the end, because the yin qi has been gathering for a long time, the effect of embalming has been achieved, and it can even be as vivid as when it was alive, but the corpses inside have become evil things like cicada chrysalis, and once this layer of "jade clothes" is forcibly retreated, it will become a bloody corpse that makes people feel frightened, and it will harm the world!
Oh yes!
The difference between the so-called "golden jade clothes", "silver jade clothes" or "copper jade clothes" is only whether the thin wire connecting the jade pieces uses gold, silver or copper wire, and there is actually no difference in the final result.
It is just convenient for later inverted buckets or archaeologists to confirm the identity and status of the owner of the tomb......
