Chapter 273: Chalcedony
She really looked exactly like the woman in yellow, and as my hand faded off the mask, the woman would disappear from my mind.
I was even a little addicted to this feeling, until the fat man suddenly stomped on the soles of my feet, and I realized that everyone was looking at me at this time.
There was a strange look in my eyes, as if they had noticed something out of my mind.
What I didn't expect was that the shroud covering the jade figurines was faintly illuminated by the firelight, and it was actually densely filled with ancient characters.
Even if he looked at these small seal texts, he frowned a little, but fortunately, he could barely translate most of the meanings.
The present is undoubtedly a great help to our doubts.
"She... She..., I finally understand why she is alive and well. ”
The little white face was holding the golden silk shroud in his hand, and his face suddenly looked frightened, as if he had discovered some secret.
"She drank Concubine Jin's blood!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone boiled, but the fat man didn't show too much surprise, and I seemed to understand something in an instant.
The fat man in front of him must have known the secret of the jade figurines earlier than us, and he also communicated with the mysterious woman in his mind.
Uncle Jiu's eyes were almost round when he heard such news, but he had never touched the jade and never had the feeling that a strange woman was talking in his mind.
"What kind of blood, you can tell it clearly."
The more the little white face looked, the more he realized that something was wrong, and he stared at the jade figurine from time to time and continued to look at the golden silk shroud in his hand, and finally translated the general meaning.
It turned out that the truth recorded on the shroud was roughly the same as what we had guessed, and that anyone who touched it after it was dug up would have the same feeling in their minds as I had just experienced.
This woman wearing a golden mask seems to have lived only in the spiritual level of people, and was later acquired by the Qin Emperor.
Emperor Qin once asked him about the art of immortality, but the strange woman at this time did not tell him, but asked her to dig a tomb on a desert island and exhaust the mountains and seas.
I found out the extreme yin and extreme yang things in the world.
It wasn't until the entire huge labyrinthine tomb was almost completed that she appeared in Qin Shi Huang's mind to tell him.
As long as you drink the chalcedony flowing from the jade figurines, you can live forever, but the price is that those who drink chalcedony can only live in the tomb forever and cannot escape.
At first, he had found a pair of siblings to try the medicine, but the strange thing was that although the person who had drunk chalcedony delayed aging, his appearance gradually changed to the appearance of the mysterious woman in his mind.
And no matter how they escape, the two of them will reappear in the tomb, and those who escape will festering and die gradually, and their consciousness will return to the tomb again.
Qin Shi Huang felt that such a price was too cruel, and finally sealed the tomb completely, and the two poor siblings were forever forgotten here.
The elder sister is the woman in yellow in front of her, and the younger brother, who is also immortal, is the painter of the murals of the entire tomb.
This is eventually confirmed by a mysterious mural hidden in the corner of the high platform, in which a poor pair of siblings hug each other.
They were dressed in the costumes of the Qin Dynasty, and as they watched the stone door of the tomb being slowly closed, a sense of sadness and darkness shrouded everyone's hearts.
I looked back at the woman in yellow, and although she looked different from the sister depicted in the mural, her clothes and colors were very similar.
But I don't know why, she should have forgotten what happened before, and just relied on her memory to lead us to find an exit, but she was afraid of this jade figurine.
"How can this be..., could it be said that the price of immortality is to keep watch for others day by day in this tomb."
"It's... It's horrible. ”
Xiao Baimian couldn't help but exclaim, and the ninth uncle on the side couldn't help but take two steps back with a frightened face, and suddenly stretched out his hand to grab the neck of the jade figurine, and said viciously.
"I almost got by you, damn."
The ninth uncle in front of me was like a madman, desperately pinching the jade figurine's neck, and I suddenly realized whether he had come into contact with the jade figurines earlier than all of us, and had communicated with the mysterious woman who appeared in his mind.
No wonder when we found the broken jade hand in the cave, he suddenly looked like crazy and pinched his neck desperately, as if he was enchanted.
Maybe they were all pretending at the time, in order to be afraid that I and Little White Face would also touch the jade hand, so as to discover the secret of the mysterious woman in my mind.
"After all, this jade figurine is a hoodoo thing, and you should find a way to destroy her."
Such a strange thought suddenly appeared in my mind, and the ancient sword in my hand was a little uncontrollable and wanted to smash the ominous jade figurines in the coffin.
What I didn't expect in the next second was that Uncle Nine reached out and suddenly hugged his neck, his eyes were round as if he had been pinched and out of breath.
He had played this trick once before in front of the others, and I didn't dare to believe it anymore, thinking that the old guy might be playing another play.
It's just that this time it's more realistic than the last time, and even the corners of the mouth are faintly bleeding, and I'm about to swallow my breath.
"That's not right."
Suddenly, I noticed a red and swollen handprint on his neck, squeezing it out of thin air, a strange scene that could not be described in words.
In the blink of an eye, I realized that it was the jade figurine in the coffin that grabbed him by the neck, and at this time, the jade figurines suddenly sat up from the wooden coffin as if resurrected.
The scarlet glow shone from under the golden mask on his face, and it looked terrifying.
When I opened my eyes again, I just wanted to rush forward to save someone, but I found that Uncle Nine had been rescued by others, I stood in place and looked at the eye-catching red finger marks on his neck, and I was instantly so shocked that I couldn't speak.
Suddenly, a jade hand with a severed arm fell out of Uncle Jiu's sleeve, and everyone in the team except Long Zai was instantly speechless when they saw this scene.
I clearly remember discarding this evil palm in the cave, and it seems that Uncle Nine secretly picked it up.
There is no doubt about the truth of the matter at the moment, which proves that Uncle Nine has indeed deceived all of us, and the purpose is very simple, he does not want to tell others the secret of touching the jade figurines.
It's just that he didn't expect that, according to what was recorded on the Shroud, the price of wanting to live forever would be so great.
The ninth uncle in front of him was also paid for by his greed, and fell to the ground and fell unconscious, it seems that even if he didn't die, he almost lost half his life.
We and Uncle Jiu's accounts can be settled one by one after we escape, but the most important issue at hand is what to do with the jade figurines in the coffin.
Just now, I saw it sit up from the wooden coffin, stretch out a hand and slam it around Uncle Jiu's neck.
But now, as if nothing had happened, the jade figurines are still lying peacefully in the coffin, and the golden mask on their faces can't help but make people reverie.
I subconsciously looked at the artifact in the coffin, could it be my own hallucination, but the scene just now was indeed the jade figurines themselves sitting up from the coffin.
