Volume 3 The Ghost Boat of the Sand Sea Chapter 29 The Silk in the Box
Just as the giant insect was about to pounce on the altar, a black shadow fell from the sky and pressed the giant insect down. Then there was a loud "boom", stirring up countless dust. This time, the jar could be seen most clearly, it was the pillar that was hit by the giant insect that was in danger at this time, and it fell down at this time, and smashed right on the giant worm's head, saving his life, and at this time, the giant worm was only two meters away from the altar.
The altar escaped from death, and was so frightened that his legs and feet were weak, and he couldn't speak for a while, and sat down in place. Xu Yunshu and I hurriedly ran over and dragged him back, for fear that the giant insect would suddenly erupt again. But after seeing the giant worm, we also knew that it would never get up again - its upper body, especially its head, had been smashed to pieces, and the ground was covered with green blood and broken shells. I deliberately slashed the appendage of the giant insect with the dragon slaying sword, but it was not cut off, it can be seen that its body is hard to shell, if it weren't for these two stone pillars, I'm afraid the three of us would have to die here this time.
As for the last stone pillar, it was already crumbling, but the other stone pillar fell again, and it collapsed with the shock, and it was because of this that the altar and our lives were saved.
After the giant worm died, we all sat down on the ground to rest. Not only the altar, but also Xu Yunshu and I, after experiencing this scene, I only felt that my hands and feet were cold and sore, and I couldn't slow down for a long time.
"How? This is the letter, right? It was a long time before the jar spoke.
"How's that? Believe what? Xu Yunshu and I were stunned by this sentence that suddenly came out of the jar.
"Once is called a coincidence, but what about two in a row?" It turned out that Tanzi was still thinking about the question just now, "Isn't it called strength if it happens twice?" ”
"This kind of thing happens once and is called a coincidence, and twice is called a miracle, and it has nothing to do with your strength at all!" Xu Yunshu hit the jar and said.
The altar didn't argue, but just smiled and said, "You are envious, jealous and hateful!" ”
"But then again, what the hell is this bug? Why is it so fierce and terrifying? Tan Zi asked with palpitations, after all, he was the one who faced the giant insect most directly twice just now.
"Who knows!" I replied, "There are many unknown things in this world that have not yet been discovered by humans, and this bug may be one of them." ”
"Fortunately, there is only one, if this bug appears in large numbers, it will be a threat to humans!" Xu Yunshu said.
"We don't know if there are a lot of them, but it's not easy to grow so big, maybe this is the only one in the world!" I guessed, "But I think this giant insect didn't grow so big naturally, but was raised here, so it must have been artificially used." Otherwise, how could a bug survive here for so long? ”
"The poor ghost is right! This insect knows at a glance that it is guarding the mausoleum here, so it must be the owner of this tomb or his family who kept it here as a watchdog! "The jar agrees with me.
But Xu Yunshu had a different opinion: "Maybe it's really just nesting here?" You also said that there are no wonders in the world, and it's normal here! As for its lifespan, maybe it's really like Uncle Zhang said, and there is a legendary method of immortality hidden here! In this way, it makes sense that a bug can live for hundreds of years. ”
As soon as he mentioned the method of immortality, Tanzi's eyes immediately lit up, and he immediately echoed and said, "Yes, yes, Miss Xu's analysis is also very reliable...... Originally, I thought what the poor ghost said was very right, but after listening to you, I think what you said is more convincing. ”
"How can it be more convincing?" I asked Tanzi, "Which do you think is more realistic, captive breeding or immortality?" ”
"Immortality!" The jar replied directly.
"Why?"
"Because there's a legend about it! More down-to-earth! The altar replied.
"And how do you prove it?" I asked again.
At this time, Xu Yunshu interjected: "Is there an immortality technique, don't you know by looking here?" She pointed to the coffin and said to us.
I turned my head to look at Xu Yunshu: "Aren't you against opening the coffin?" ”
Xu Yunshu pointed to the coffin and said, "There is also a wooden box here, maybe there is no need to risk opening the coffin!" ”
"Yes, yes, I almost forgot if you didn't say it, there is a wooden box here!" The jar ran over and walked to the coffin with Xu Yunshu.
Xu Yunshu looked at the coffin, and immediately frowned: "What about the bronze incense burner before?" Why is it gone? She looked at me and the altar.
"Where's the incense burner?" I pretended not to know, and threw the question to the jar again.
The altar looked frustrated: "The giant insect suddenly attacked just now, and I ...... I got it off, I don't know where it fell......"
"Let's look for it later......" Xu Yunshu also knew how critical the situation was just now, it would be good to be able to save his life, where could he take care of an incense burner, and that thing also had some weight, and it would only become a burden to carry on his body, so even if the altar took the initiative to throw it away, it was forgivable.
Only then did I realize that the altar had been running for his life with a bag on his back before, which meant that he had been carrying the bronze incense burner with him, and he had not given up on it even when his life was in an instant, I ...... I really sigh to myself, I sincerely admire him, serious 800 asking for money is not dying!
looked at the jar, took the wooden box out of the coffin, and handed it to Xu Yunshu. This time, Xu Yunshu watched the whole process, and the altar had no chance to start, but being able to get the bronze incense burner was also considered a "merit". Not in vain! That's worth 300,000!
Xu Yunshu put on gloves and opened the wooden box, and saw that there were some things similar to silk cloth and satin neatly placed inside, but the color was very monotonous, very close to the skin color of people, layer by layer, and it was very slippery to the touch.
When the altar saw these "silks", he said loudly: "The owner of this tomb is afraid that he will have no clothes to wear after death, so he will not find some gold, silver and jewelry to accompany the burial, but he has made so many fabrics, and put them in the coffin like a treasure...... However, these fabrics have not weathered after so many years, and if they are taken out and sold, they should be worth a lot of money......" The jar picked up a neatly folded piece of "fabric" and groped back and forth on it with his hands: "This feels really good, there is no silk slippery, but it is very comfortable!" ”
"Do you know what this is?" Xu Yunshu turned his face and asked Tanzi.
"I don't know, isn't it just a piece of cloth!" The altar put on a look of "it doesn't matter what it is" and said, but he didn't notice that Xu Yunshu's face became a little gloomy.
"These things are human skins!" Xu Yunshu whispered.
