Chapter 22: The Immortal Female Corpse
This coffin is made of pure gold, and the coffin lid is very heavy, even if the crowbar and jack are prepared in advance, it is very difficult to open the coffin, after all, there are only three of them now, and Chiba Shinichi is old again, so it took a lot of effort to open the coffin.
With a loud bang, the coffin lid slid to the ground, sparking with the bluestone slab.
"I'm sorry, your coffin is too heavy, and I can't help you cover it for a while." After Chen Sanshui finished speaking, he bowed to the coffin three times.
"Brother Shui, come and see!"
At this time, Zhang Ergou shouted in a trembling voice, and Chen Sanshui hurriedly stepped forward to check.
"This is- Chiba Sakura?"
Chen Sanshui was also shocked in his heart, because he had already checked it just now, and there was no trace of this coffin being opened at all, and the woman lying in this coffin was exactly the same as Chiba Sakura, but she had changed into a red kimono!
"This isn't Sakurako! Sakurako has a black mole under her left ear. Chiba Shinichi said with great certainty.
"Not Chiba Sakura? So who could this person be? Zhang Ergou had a puzzled look on his face.
"This person is indeed not Chiba Sakura, because she has been dead for many years, but because she is smeared with embalming potions, she will keep her body incorruptible for thousands of years." Chen Sanshui looked at the corpse carefully and said.
"Ahh What potion keeps a person's body from rotting for a thousand years? How is this possible? Zhang Ergou was still very surprised.
"There is nothing impossible, in the past, the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, Sanxingdui, and Mawangdui have all found incorruptible female corpses." Chen Sanshui said lightly.
"But why does she look so much like Sakura Chiba?" Zhang Ergou asked puzzled.
"That's the ancestor of the family, and it's normal to look alike, let's go, this is definitely not the owner's tomb."
Such a large mausoleum is generally built for men, and even if it is a mausoleum built for women, at least there will be humanoid funerary goods, and it is impossible to put some gold, silver and jewelry alone to be done.
"Huh? Is this leaving? There are so many treasures in this coffin! Look at the jewelry she wears, it must be priceless! Zhang Ergou's eyes lit up, and he thought in his heart that as long as he took a few pieces, he would be able to worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life!
Chen Sanshui shook his head helplessly: "Have you forgotten how those people died just now?" ”
"Aren't we wearing gloves now? Take it back and wash it off of the poison and you'll be fine! Zhang Ergou said and took off a pair of bracelets from the female corpse's hand.
But at this time, the female corpse who had been dead for more than a thousand years suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes widened, and she stared straight at Zhang Ergou!
"Ahh Cheated corpse! ”
Zhang Ergou squatted on the ground in fright, Chen Sanshui frowned and looked at the female corpse, the other party did open his eyes!
"I'm sorry, my brother doesn't understand the rules and disturbs the purity of his seniors."
Chen Sanshui picked up a pair of bracelets on the ground and put them on the hands of the female corpse, and then the female corpse's eyes slowly closed.
Chiba Shinichi was shocked when he watched from the sidelines, and there was a strange brilliance hidden in his eyes!
"Brother Shui, didn't you say that there are no ghosts and gods in this world? What was going on just now? Zhang Ergou asked with a pale face.
"There are really no ghosts and gods in this world, it's just that sometimes some things happen that can't be explained by the current science, and the opening of the eyes of the female corpse just now is actually a kind of memory conditioning, after all, this female corpse is well preserved, even if the brain dies, it will retain a part of the body's conditioned reflexes." Chen Sanshui said with a smile.
"Huh? This woman has been dead for more than a thousand years, where is the conditioned reflex? You must be bluffing me! Why don't I take those two bracelets off and try them again?" Zhang Ergou looked greedily at the bracelet on the female corpse's hand again.
"As long as you can withstand this kind of pressure psychologically, I won't forcibly stop you, but you have to think about the consequences, don't regret it when you suddenly die or have a heart attack." Chen Sanshui reminded indifferently.
"Well, forget it, it's just a little money, and it's not enough to take my life!" Zhang Ergou shrank his neck in fright, not daring to fight the idea of the bracelet again.
"Then let's go, let's go and see if there are any secret passages to the other burial chambers."
After Chen Sanshui finished speaking, he left directly and walked in front of the two.
Zhang Ergou looked back at the pure gold coffin step by step, although he was reluctant to give up those jewels in his heart, but he cared more about his own life!
Chiba Shinichi silently followed behind Chen Sanshui, but the excitement in his eyes was hard to hide! He obviously has something else to hide from Chen Sanshui!
After a long time, the three of them still did not find the exit to other secret passages, Zhang Ergou said a little anxiously: "Brother Shui, if you want me to say that we will just take those gold, silver and jewelry and leave, after going out, we can live a small life without worrying about food and clothing!" ”
"If you turn around and leave now, it is estimated that the old man in the back will punch your head through, you have to think about it!" Chen Sanshui reminded in a whisper.
Zhang Ergou was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Chiba Shinichi, and thought to himself that this old man was really troublesome, like a hand holding a thunder that could explode at any time! I'm going to have to find a chance to get rid of him in a moment!
"Master Chen, we've been looking around for a long time, if it really doesn't work, let's go back the way we came, maybe we can enter the master's tomb through other passages."
After all, Chiba Shinichi is old, and they have exhausted their physical strength by following Chen Sanshui, if it weren't for the fact that he used to exercise secretly, I'm afraid he would have been exhausted a long time ago!
"The biggest taboo in going to the tomb to touch gold is to go back, and the danger factor of returning the same way may be higher! I'm guessing the passage to the other burial chambers must be in this burial chamber! ”
According to the previous experience of touching gold, the organ must be in this tomb, as for where the mechanism is, Chen Sanshui has not found it yet.
"Why don't we sit down and rest for a while, it's time to rest after being tired for so long." Zhang Ergou sat down on the coffin lid on the ground as he spoke.
"Wait!"
Chen Sanshui suddenly roared, and Zhang Ergou, who was frightened, stood up suddenly, thinking that he had encountered some danger again, but he stood up and looked at it for a long time and didn't find any changes around him.
"Brother Shui, what's wrong? Don't be so surprised, my little heart really can't stand it! Zhang Ergou patted his chest and said.
"I should have thought that this coffin should be the mechanism leading to the next burial chamber! Help me put the lid on this coffin! Chen Sanshui said very seriously.
"Huh? Are you kidding? This thing has to weigh thousands of pounds to say the least, right? How can the three of us carry it up? Besides, the old man of the Chiba family can't help! Zhang Ergou shook his head and said.
