Chapter 12: Nightmares

When I got back to the hotel, I locked all the doors and windows and pulled the curtains down. Worried that something would happen, he finally struggled inwardly and notified Pei and asked him to come over.

With that done, I began to study the strange box. When I looked at the bracelet in silk, the first thing I knew for sure was that it was an item from the pre-Qin period, but it remains to be studied which dynasty it is.

"Knock Knock"

"Come in, the door won't close."

Tearing off the paper roll from the table and taking out a pen from the bag.

"You see, the box is agarwood, the bracelet is gold, and the bracelet is wrapped in silk. It seems that the owner of this tomb is not small. "I made a list of them, and a few clues came to my mind. The next thing I have to do is peel back the threads, extract the multiple intermingled threads one by one, and then find the connections between them.

First, I touched a bracelet myself, inside the pile of jewelry. This one is obviously a pair of the one I took out, but it was sent by someone else by courier.

And silk, in ancient times, silk was silk because it was one of the earliest animal fibers utilized by humans.

"How can you be sure it's silk?" Pei withdrew it from my hand.

"The silk texture is light and slender, the fabric has good luster, it is comfortable to wear, it feels smooth and has poor thermal conductivity, and it is moisture absorbent and breathable."

Pei nodded, pulled over a stool and sat down.

"These are probably women's objects." Pei pointed to the wooden box and bracelet.

"But in the Spring and Autumn Period, the status of women was low, and if it was really a woman's object, then, most likely, the owner of the tomb was this woman." Shaking the silk in his hand, the red silk looked extremely dazzling at the moment.

The Spring and Autumn Period was a period of great turmoil and great change in social transformation. It can be said that women are victims of politics in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Looking at the dense stuff of what I had written on the paper, I breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and moved my paralyzed lower body slightly. When I looked up, it was already a little past, and the rest was estimated to be able to continue my research tomorrow, so let's hurry up and finish eating and resting.

"In that way, it seems like things have come full circle, and we are back to square one."

Listening to Pei silently come to such a sentence, the smile on my face instantly froze. yes, after all, I don't know who sent it.

Analyzing and solving puzzles is really a tiring job. I don't know how those archaeologists endured the long-term boredom of studying the existing materials over and over again.

I was eating instant noodles while holding a bracelet and observing it under the light.

I rubbed the surface of the bracelet with my thumb, this thing should be worth a lot of money, if so, it doesn't make sense. Whatever the man's purpose behind it, it was a loss-making deal in itself.

Although gold has a price and jade is priceless, gold can be estimated by weight according to international market conditions, and the price of jadeite is mainly evaluated by the water color of the jade species. However, the room for gold to appreciate is very high.

For a while, I suddenly felt inexplicable irritability, and my left hand unconsciously increased its strength. A sharp pain in my hand irritated my nerves, and I threw away the bracelet with a spirit, only to find that the bracelet was bent inward, and the edges were polished thinly. A large cut was made in the palm of my hand, and blood was dripping on the bracelet and silk, and the scene looked messy.

Pei hurriedly treated my wound briefly and found a band-aid to put on it.

"Blood is dripping." Pei Jian frowned, holding the bracelet with a worried expression.

"I don't know if it's been thousands of years, if the infection mutates, I, Yang Xiuyuan, will probably have to spend the rest of my life in the research room with the orangutans." I quipped.

"It's not you mutating now, it's hoping it doesn't." Pei looked heavy.

The cemetery is yin, and this kind of thing brought back from the cemetery has been in the tomb for so long, and the yin qi is too heavy. The blood of the living is a yang thing.

The situation seems to be a little bad.

I didn't have the heart to eat, thinking that I had business to do tomorrow, so I cleaned up the mess, put away the wooden box, collapsed on the bed, and fell asleep.

This night, I slept very unsteadily, and there were always whispers in my ears, but I couldn't hear what I was saying at all. I felt as if I was in a large gray mist, with many figures shaking around me.

But for him, the ghost is pretty much the same. Except for the vague recognition of the position of their heads and limbs, those shadows cannot be considered normal in terms of body proportions.

For a moment, I felt like I was back in that tomb. The difference is that this time instead of stone walls and coffins, there is a gray fog around. There were no Pei and Li Wen around me, and those strange shadows shook as if they wanted to break through the fog and tear me apart.

I suddenly realized that the environment I was in was the room where I was asleep. The fog seemed to appear in the house out of thin air.

Worst of all, I was conscious, but I couldn't open my eyes and my body couldn't move. I know that this phenomenon is medically known as nightmares, also known as ghost presses.

I tried to move my fingers, but it didn't work. In the past, when I encountered this situation, I only needed to take a few deep breaths and then slowly exert force until I was completely awake. This time it was a very special situation, I struggled for a long time, but to no avail, I could even feel the sweat overflowing from my palms.

Gradually, I retracted my mind and forced myself to calm down, and instead of trying in vain, I would see what would happen next. With this in mind, I slowly flattened my breathing, and sure enough, a faint sound came into my ears.

The sound is extremely slight, and if you don't concentrate on it, you can't hear it at all, and the sound gradually grows from far to near, and there is a tendency to increase. This, it seems, is, a musical instrument?

Suddenly, the sound became pleasant, the figure in the mist dispersed, and a huge palace appeared in front of it.

I can't describe how I felt at this moment, knowing that I was lying in the room, the sight in front of me gave me the illusion that I was somewhere else.

Maybe when I open my eyes, what I see is Pei, maybe Uncle Zhao, or maybe Li Wen. Maybe they didn't care about me at all and just left.

As long as everyone is there, whatever it is, I really don't want to be abandoned again.

The sound continued, and I pushed open the closed wooden door. A long line appeared in front of me, dressed in peculiar armor and armed with spears.

When I was stunned, the giant door slowly closed automatically, leaving only a gap. The voice became clearer and louder, and I watched as these things came out of the wooden door one by one. A few dim candles lit up in turn in the darkness, and I held my breath and stared ahead.

I almost subconsciously wanted to scream, but the voice kept stuck in my throat and couldn't make a sound.
