Chapter 277: Wu Wenju
Holding the folding shovel tightly with his hand, he only felt that it was getting harder and harder to swing it, but when he was tired, he suddenly remembered the strange woman wearing a golden mask in his mind.
She seemed to lean down to whisper something in my ear.
Until the folding shovel in my hand became heavier and heavier, I couldn't help but fall asleep in the inverted hole, and when I gradually woke up, I found that the fat man and the dragon boy and other people were missing around me.
He returned to the stone platform where the three coffins were parked, surrounded by silent darkness, with only a glimmer of light hanging overhead.
Suddenly, a faint light shone through the darkness in front of me, and it seemed that a figure was approaching.
I couldn't tell whether this was reality or a dream, but I felt that the figure that was getting closer was becoming more and more familiar.
He didn't seem to be able to see me, and he stepped on the high platform with a burning fire fold in his hand, looking left and right as if he was looking for something.
Wearing an eerie black tights, half of a diary can be faintly visible on the chest, this figure makes me feel more and more familiar the more I look at it.
Eventually, a slight flash of lightning flashed through my mind and woke me up.
"Why does this person look so much like my godfather."
Under the faint light of the fire fold, his young but not handsome face was faintly reflected, and even a little thief's eyebrows were revealed.
The black clothes and the creeping movements made me look more like a thief than a grave robber.
I was about to stand up and greet him, but I found myself unable to move, and it looked like air to him.
The fire he lit in his hand slowly enveloped the high platform, and his footsteps became closer and closer to me.
I suddenly realized if this could be a dream, and I was a rickety old man when I recognized Wu Laogou as my godfather.
Later, when I heard him say that he was looking for Yangzhu, he sneaked into an ancient tomb of the Yuan Dynasty, and was crushed by the thousands of catties of stone that fell down alive, if it weren't for his two apprentices desperately protecting it.
I'm afraid I won't be able to escape.
The appearance of the old dog in front of me was as if he was a young man decades ago, although it is difficult for me to associate it with the old man of the tomb robber with his eyebrows and eyes.
But the temperament that shines through the eyebrows makes me have to believe that it is indeed him, there is no doubt about it.
I speculated that my position might be inside the golden coffin, because no matter how much I moved, it was as if I was stuck somewhere.
I could only observe Wu Laogou's every move on the high platform from a slight gap, and I saw him take the lead and come over and knock on the lid of the golden coffin with his hand.
At this time, I couldn't help but hold my breath as my godfather, who had been dead for more than ten years, suddenly appeared in front of me in a young state, in a space that I don't know if it was a dream.
And being so close to me, I couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in my heart that I had never felt before.
Wu Laogou spent most of his life in order to find the Yang Zhu that could resurrect Sanniang, and he didn't know how many tombs he walked, but the final result was still turned into a handful of loess.
I can't help but feel a little sad when I think of this, I have called him godfather a few times, and even the corpse I have not been able to take out intact in the end.
just found a place where there was no one and set up a mound for him.
I was recalling the unbearable past decades ago, but Wu Laogou outside the coffin suddenly approached the sarcophagus, and I vaguely found that he was wearing a special material glove on his hand.
It seems to be made of some kind of black silk, faintly refracted by the light of the fire, as if it was coming to deal with the jade figurines in the coffin.
I was wondering how his thin body should push the lid of the sarcophagus weighing hundreds of pounds open, only to see him take out a small metal bracket.
This thing is like a modern simple jack, one end of the mouth is stuffed into the crack of the coffin, and the other end is pressed down hard, and the whole coffin is gradually opened open by the gap the size of an egg.
Then he pulled out a small wire from his backpack and plunged into the sarcophagus as if looking for something.
It dawned on me that he might be looking for a yang pearl.
I only saw that one after another artifacts in the sarcophagus were hooked out by him with wire, and after a careful examination, he quietly put them back.
There was a bit of frustration in his eyes, and he squinted his eyes and looked around, but he seemed to have found me hiding in the golden coffin in an instant.
Step by step, he walked towards me with cautious steps.
I couldn't help but swallow, I don't know how to explain if this was really in a dream, and I was discovered by him?
Do you tell him that decades later, when he is too old, one day he will have to ask me to be his godson?
Just as I was starting to think a little cranky, the fire that had been inserted in the crack of the sarcophagus suddenly went out.
Even the nine incense candles that had been inserted in the cracks of the ground when he first climbed the stone platform broke in an instant, and I was dumbfounded by this scene.
A gust of wind blew into the crack of the coffin, which instantly made me feel as uncomfortable as a bone piercing.
After Wu Laogou found that the fire behind him was silently extinguished, he was shocked for a moment, and turned his head to look at the sarcophagus that had been broken open.
I saw that there seemed to be something shining golden in the huge stone coffin, and the shaking Wu Laogou couldn't open his eyes.
I stared at him intently along the gap in the golden coffin, for fear of missing the slightest detail.
Although Wu Laogou outside the coffin saw that the incense candles and fire folds were all extinguished, he was attracted by the mysterious object that emitted light from the sarcophagus.
I once heard the fat man say that before opening the coffin, you should light a few incense sticks next to the coffin, if the incense breaks or burns abnormally.
It means that there is danger here, and you need to leave immediately and do nothing, and restore all the artifacts in your hands to their original positions.
I speculate that the old dog Wu in front of him must have a premonition of the crisis, but the sudden flickering light in the coffin is very similar to the legendary treasure Yang Zhu that can bring people back to life.
So he decided to take the risk, and took out the small wire from his backpack again, this time the wire was crumpled into a circle in the palm of his hand, and finally poked straight into the sarcophagus.
The reason why he didn't continue to press down on the jack to open the sarcophagus completely seemed to be because he was afraid that something unclean would come out of the coffin.
The wire in his hand was nimble like a fishhook, and suddenly I saw a pale palm sticking out of the sarcophagus.
The skin of this palm is delicate like a woman, but it seems to be a little unbelievably long.
Ordinary people's arms are determined by their height and physique, but the arm that pokes out of the sarcophagus in front of me seems to be a little longer than that of a normal adult.
I hid in the coffin and was shocked by this scene in a cold sweat, Wu Laogou in black tights in front of me didn't have time to dodge, he was pinched in an instant, his face was bruised, his hands kept protecting his neck, and he seemed to be struggling desperately before dying.
Until I saw him pull a knife from his leg in a panic, cut his chest and sliced it with blood, and slashed at the ghost hand sticking out of the coffin.
In an instant, blood splattered, and the palm of the hand fell to the ground and gradually changed color, and finally shrank into the appearance of a jade hand.
Wu Laogou spat lightly at the ground, and picked up the jade hand on the ground and put it into his arms, his eyes revealing a bit of fierceness.
