Chapter 24, One Coffin
"Interesting." Ah Chuan suddenly said.
"What?"
I turned my head and saw Ah Chuan's face full of interest, he rarely showed such an expression, the last time I saw it was when he was ready to see me laughing, but now it is serious.
"Daze, you see, this jade coffin is one, and there is no coffin lid at all."
I was shocked, and quickly stretched out my head to look, we are now very close to the jade coffin, I looked carefully, whether it was up or down, this jade coffin was integrated, without any gaps and interfaces.
The absence of gaps means that this is a whole piece of jade, which will not be permeable to water at all, and it is impossible for the salt to corrode the tomb owner that I was worried about just now.
This is creepy enough, the jade coffin is one, so how did this woman put it in?
Ah Chuan knew my question at a glance as if he could read minds, and he looked at me with a strange smile: "Maybe this woman originally grew up in jade." ”
I felt my scalp explode, and I subconsciously wanted to stay away from the jade coffin, but I was dragged by Ah Chuan.
"Don't run, just a little coward, just a joke will scare you like this."
"How can anyone joke like that!"
If it weren't for the water, I would have jumped to my feet, and people would be scared to death, not to mention that this was in an ancient tomb that was already full of strange conditions.
"Am I wrong? There's a way to do it, but I'm not sure yet, and you don't have to think about it, just don't see it. ”
Ah Chuan said it lightly, but I think there must be something wrong here, I thought that there would be no abnormalities in this tomb except for Zisha, but I didn't expect to encounter it.
How do you stuff a person into a completely enclosed jade coffin? I couldn't figure it out, but the more I thought about it, the more terrifying I felt, in addition to the amazing mechanism and design of this ancient tomb, the weirdness was also terrifying.
The water level has risen to the bottom of the jade coffin, Ah Chuan jumped up according to the top of the jade coffin, I definitely can't do it, so I simply didn't go to embarrass people, only to see Ah Chuan standing on it looking at me, smiling very cheaply.
I greeted him a thousand times in my heart, and the water level gradually rose, and I was finally able to climb onto the jade coffin and leave the water, only to feel how reassuring it was to be down-to-earth.
A returned to Ah Chuan's wrist, Xiao Qi was holding a piece of white jade in his hand, one pointed and the other round, with obvious curvature, covered with a thin layer of salt.
The jade was more than a dozen centimeters long, a little thicker than my fingers, and it was engraved with twisted and strange characters, exactly the same as I remembered.
My heart "thumped" and jumped, this is the root of the blood curse that caused my Zhao family to almost be wiped out, so small, so ordinary.
I couldn't understand how such a small thing could have such terrifying power, I looked down at the jade coffin, and saw that there was a round hole with a diameter of three or four centimeters near the head of the corpse, and it was from there that A got into it and took out the jade.
Xiao Qi naturally handed me the jade, I raised my hand to take it, I felt a little incredible, they obviously wanted this piece of jade so much, just because I refused to give up, so I gave it to me so easily.
These people are too talkative.
I was holding the jade in my hand, and I was inexplicably uneasy, but they all looked indifferent, Xiao Qi still had a piece of jade in her hand, this piece of jade was part of the jade coffin, I saw her squat down and stuff it into the hole, and the jade coffin became a closed one.
The hole was obvious, such a large corpse definitely couldn't be stuffed into it, but I didn't care about that anymore, I got this piece of jade, and this adventure came to an end.
I saw that the jade coffin was carved with dense bird seals, Ah Chuan was looking intently, but Xiao Qi had already stepped on a bronze chain.
"Let's go, the water is coming up."
Xiao Qi's voice was still so cold, I hurried to follow her footsteps, the bronze chain covered with salt was very slippery, she walked steadily, but I had to carefully lower my body.
"In the end, money can make ghosts grind, and everything is worth it for beauty."
Ah Chuan's grinning voice sounded behind him, I was a little surprised, and turned my head to look at him: "Can you read what is written on it?" ”
"It's just a bird seal." Agawa raised an eyebrow.
"And who's buried here?"
I was a little impatient, and my heart was full of curiosity, and I wondered what kind of woman was worth using such a big deal.
"It's not a rich person, it's just that people who happen to like her are richer."
Ah Chuan said ambiguously, and when I asked him again, he refused to speak.
The water had completely submerged the jade coffin, and Xiao Qi was already about to reach the end of this bronze chain, and I found that there was a black hole above the mountain rock near the end of this bronze chain.
A sword was inserted crookedly on the bronze chain, shining with a strange blue luster under the flashlight, and Xiao Qi raised his hand to pull it up, and the movement was extremely natural.
I suddenly remembered that when I first saw Xiao Qi, there was a long thing wrapped in cloth in her backpack, which must be this sword.
I looked at her back, and the doubts in my heart came like a flood, what age is it now, and there are still people who use such inconvenient cold weapons.
It seems that Xiao Qi was attacked by Zisha as soon as she entered the cave, so the sword fell here, as for how she knew that the waterhole under the jade coffin was the way out, and how she found the mechanism under the sarcophagus, it is completely beyond my imagination.
"Oops, oh no, I forgot this is Xiao Qida's hole......" Ah Chuan suddenly cried out.
"What?"
I was inexplicable, I saw that Xiao Qi had already entered the dark hole, I bent over to look at it, but I was stunned.
It was a completely vertical hole, and it was so narrow that it seemed to be less than fifty centimeters in diameter, and I couldn't get into it at all.
My heart suddenly cooled, and I looked down to see the water that was about to flood up below, and if I couldn't get out, I would end up drowning here.
Xiao Qi climbed very quickly in the round hole, she was already very slender, but now she looks even more slender, she supports the four walls of the round hole with her hands and feet, as flexible as a monkey.
Although it is not good to compare such a beautiful woman to a monkey, but her skills are like this, I was so anxious that my forehead sweated, I didn't expect that even the jade would be trapped here because I couldn't get out.
Ah Chuan could have jumped into the water and returned the same way, but for me, he was killing himself.
"How?"
I looked at Ah Chuan for help, my body couldn't get in, Ah Chuan was stronger than me, he definitely couldn't get in.
As soon as my words fell, Ah Chuan's whole body made a "snapping" sound of dislocation of bone joints, and his body became slender in an instant, and it seemed that he was a few centimeters taller.
I watched him dumbfounded, now that he was a completely different person, I had heard of the kung fu of shrinking bones, but it was a different thing to see with my own eyes, and the shock was unforgettable.
These two people are simply not mortal!
"No, I just studied it as a hobby, and I haven't been home yet." Ah Chuan was quite frustrated.
"It's not home yet, so what is home?"
I don't know where I feel like I'm in the mood to ask such a boring question in this environment.
"This is far from it, you should thank Xiao Qi for not being in a hurry this time, if she is in a hurry, we won't be able to get out of the hole we dug out."
Xiao Qi has disappeared far away from the cave, and she seems to have abandoned us like this.
Agawa crossed me and went straight into the hole, and I suddenly felt very scared, as if these two people really wanted to abandon me.
Just because I won't give up this piece of jade?
I felt desperate, yes, they wanted this piece of jade, so they just waited for me to drown here, and then when the water receded, they could come and get it at any time, so that they would not listen to me and quarrel with me.
I don't know why I have this thought in my heart, but the more I think about it, the more I think it's true, Achuan is also difficult to perform in the cave, and it is very difficult to climb, and I suddenly realize that I can't sit still.
I squeezed myself into the hole as hard as I could, my shoulders as far back as I could, the water under my feet was about to reach the bronze chain, and I had to hurry.
No matter how embarrassed Ah Chuan is, he can crawl faster than me, but I feel that my internal organs are about to be crushed, and I am moving up almost inch by inch.
It's also good that the hole is narrow, at least I can hold myself in place easily, and if I change to a bigger hole, I won't be able to support myself vertically up from here with the strength of my hands and feet.
The top of the cave had narrowed, and the water had risen so fast that I had already stuffed my whole body into the cave and looked down to see that the water level was at my feet.
I was drenched in sweat, and suddenly I realized that I was still wearing the heavy wetsuit, so I quickly took it off with one free hand.
Fortunately, this wetsuit was difficult to put on, but it was easy to take off, I was impatient, and I pulled it off almost three or five times, and watched it fall into the water below, and suddenly felt relaxed.
Without the restraints of my wetsuit, I suddenly felt that the hole was a little more spacious, and although I still had to shrink my shoulders, it was still useful, so I tucked the jade into my trouser pocket and continued to climb.
The foam rubber wetsuit was so thick that I didn't feel any pain when I got up, and when I took it off now, I only felt the burning pain of rubbing against my back against the rock wall.
But it's too late now, and no matter how much it hurts, I have to think about my own life.
I didn't have a flashlight, it was pitch black above my head, and I couldn't see where Ah Chuan was at all, but fortunately I could still hear his breathing, which seemed to be seven or eight meters away from me.
He climbed so high in such a short time!
I was becoming more and more desperate, the water level had spread to the mouth of the cave, and it was chasing me at a great speed, and it seemed that it was about to touch my feet, and in a few tens of seconds I would be completely submerged.
I was about to give up, but suddenly I felt the air above my head become a little fresher, but I didn't hear Ah Chuan's breath again.
They abandoned me!
Just as I was thinking about it, a rope hung down from it and landed in front of my eyes.
A beam of light shone in from above, shaking so that I couldn't open my eyes, and I squinted to see Ah Chuan holding a flashlight, his face looking extremely terrifying in this light.
