Chapter 223: Soul Beads

"Ghost ...... Ghost...... Ghost ......"

Xiong Maolin suddenly saw the black figure shining on the wall, and immediately let out a frightened scream.

Since this Xiong Maolin was tossed by the female ghost for two hours, it seems that his courage has also become smaller, which is caused by the weakening of yang qi.

But the scene in front of me is indeed terrifying, in addition to the shadows of everyone on the wall, there is also a black figure, which looks like a woman, with long hair and a shawl, wearing a one-piece group, gently swaying on the wall, dancing, extremely treacherous.

Not to mention Xiong Maolin, even Adjutant Liu next to him was frightened into a cold sweat and half of his body was cold.

"Don't be afraid, Dashuai, this is just a soul bead, not a ghost!"

In the audience, only Yang Zhending looked at the black shadow of the woman dancing on the wall and his expression was surprisingly calm.

"Soul Beads? What is it? ”

Xiong Maolin saw that Yang Zhending's expression was calm, without the slightest panic, and then he calmed down a little, asked curiously with wide eyes, and then glanced at the black shadows dancing on the wall.

Yang Zhending narrowed his eyes into a slit, turned the white beads in his hand with his hand, and explained to Xiong Maolin in detail: "Dashuai, this white bead is made of glass, but it has been re-quenched into a bead by fire, and in the process of quenching and recasting, a human-shaped doll is added to it. It is commonly found in ancient tombs before the Tang Dynasty, mainly to deter and intimidate tomb robbers, but this craft has been lost hundreds of years ago, and it is a rare gem! ”

Yang Zhending's explanation is easy to understand, and it is also very clear, as for why the figure reflected from the soul bead still moves? That's because the burning candle is moving, not the shadow that's being transmitted.

"A rare gem?"

Xiong Maolin listened to these words, and his eyes were glowing.

In ancient times, because the production process of colored glass was very complicated, to a certain extent, it was more precious than any jade.

But in this troubled era, the glass is not so valuable, and it is also very niche, only when you meet someone you really like, you can sell it at a price, in the eyes of people who don't like it, it may not be as valuable as a bowl of oily noodles.

But! The three words "Soul Bead" absolutely improve the force of the glass beads, especially in the reflection of the fire, it can reflect the peculiar phenomenon of dancing figures, to a certain extent, this is the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancients, is the pinnacle of the manufacturing process, sold to foreign devils, it will definitely be a good price.

"It seems that this coffin is not open in vain! Then move on! ”

Xiong Maolin took the soul bead in Yang Zhending's hand and looked at it carefully in the palm of his hand, and even squinted one eye and pasted it to look at it carefully.

According to Xiong Maolin's greedy character for money, the first coffin that was opened this time tasted the sweetness, and he would definitely not just give up and open it to the end.

The Six King Kongs invariably glanced at Yang Zhending at this time.

Yang Zhending raised his eyebrows slightly, pondered inwardly for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement.

Because Yang Zhending knew that Xiong Maolin's world of curiosity had been opened, it was a bit impractical to persuade him to stop like this.

Under Yang Zhending's nod and acquiescence, the six King Kongs under his command continued to open the coffin with a black fold.

However, before opening the second coffin, the first coffin should be re-covered in good condition to prevent any unnecessary accidents.

In addition to re-closing, a number was engraved on the bottom of the coffin with a dagger to avoid confusion, since there were hundreds of coffins in the entire room.

After the first coffin was perfected, the six King Kongs used the same technique as just now to pry open the second coffin.

Without any surprise, this second coffin was exactly the same as the one before, and there was a dried female corpse lying inside, which did not appear to have any burial goods on the surface, and only a silver hairpin was inserted on the head. As if the female corpse in the first coffin was carved out of a mold, even the degree of decay of the corpse was exactly the same, the white teeth of the mouth were neatly exposed, and the eyes were deeply sunken, looking hideous and terrifying.

One of them carefully removed the silver hairpin, and the long black hair on the head of the dried corpse instantly spread out, and then his head tilted to the left, revealing a soul bead pillowed under his head.

From this point, is it basically certain that all the coffins in this room are placed in young female corpses, and the female corpses have a soul bead under their heads?

So what kind of burial method is this?

Yang Zhending felt his scalp tingle, and a lot of question marks followed.

The mystery of this tomb of the emperor of the Futuo Kingdom also made Yang Zhending feel that his knowledge was seriously lacking for the first time.

After Yang Zhending took the soul bead from the hands of the six King Kongs, he placed it under the wind lantern again.

Just like the first soul bead just now, under the reflection of the wind lantern candle, the black shadow of a woman was also reflected on the wall.

But the difference is that the figure of this woman on the wall is more enchanting and more hot, which makes people reverie in their hearts just by looking at this shadow.

Every woman is different?

This aroused Xiong Maolin's great interest even more.

"Brother Zhending, you said that there is such a soul bead under the corpse of each coffin, is there anything special about it?"

Xiong Maolin was also very curious, and couldn't help but look at Yang Zhending and ask.

In fact, Yang Zhending has been thinking about this problem carefully in his heart, but his knowledge is limited, and he really can't think of it, but he can't just just don't know, so doesn't it seem that he has no ability?

Therefore, Yang Zhending could only reply to Xiong Maolin in a general way: "Dashuai, this should be just a custom in ancient funerals, and this soul bead has no other role except for revealing the human shadow under the lamp." ”

Xiong Maolin really believed Yang Zhending's words, nodded and smiled: "Since this is the case, then it's easy to say, all of them will move, open all the coffins in this room for me, I want all these soul beads!" ”

Xiong Maolin's words had just ended, and before Yang Zhending could speak, Adjutant Liu next to him immediately shouted: "Everyone move and open the coffin!" ”

Under Adjutant Liu's order, the soldiers immediately dispersed, and in groups of six, they opened the coffins one by one from the four corners of the room.

Yang Zhending took a deep breath, looked at the scene in front of him where everyone went out and opened the coffin collectively, he had something to say in his heart, but he stopped talking.

If he and the people of the Guanzhong Gang personally opened the coffins one by one, I am afraid it would take several days to open these hundreds of coffins.

However, Xiong Maolin's subordinates used such a rough and unrefined method to open the coffin, and there was undoubtedly a huge risk.

The reason why Yang Zhending stopped speaking is because even if there is any risk, it is Xiong Maolin's troops, no matter how many people die, it is the consequence of Xiong Maolin's greed, and he will not feel distressed and pity at all, anyway, it is not his own person who died......
