Xiao Laodao stood up from the ground unhurriedly and said to my grandfather: "Brother Liu, let's go over and take a look again, this time it's different, remember, this is all experience, if you want to do this job well, you have to ......learn little by little" Xiao Laodao said, something seemed to have changed in the coffin.

My grandfather quickly stood up from the ground, he was puzzled, followed Xiao Laodao to the coffin again, looked into the coffin, and was shocked again.

I saw that the old man, who was still lifelike just now, turned into a black and shriveled corpse at this time, with deep eye sockets and a slightly open mouth, but the whitened eyebrows and beard were still glued to the eyebrow bone and chin, and it looked indescribably weird.

Where has my grandfather seen this, he looked at Xiao Laodao in disbelief, with a stunned face, "Brother Xiao, what's going on, how is this corpse ......?"

Xiao Laodao smiled, "Brother don't make a fuss, there are some tightly sealed coffins, and the corpse is not rotten in it, but as long as you open the coffin and breathe the wind, it will become like bacon for a while, like this kind of thing, you will see more in the future." ”

"How so?" My grandfather is a little confused.

Xiao Laodao tucked the cigarette pouch rod back into his waist and said: "If you want to ask why this is happening, I can't tell you clearly, brother, maybe when the deceased was buried, what did he do, but not every dead person in the coffin is like this, many people are so rotten that they don't even have their bones, brother, you encountered this for the first time in the tomb, which is considered a long insight." ”

What a long time to see, my grandfather felt very unlucky, and looked at the old man in the coffin again, the thin quilt on the old man's body had been torn off, maybe Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Shiyi did it, and when I looked at the old man, I saw that the old man was actually wearing a yellow robe, and there were several green dragons embroidered on the yellow robe.

My grandfather suddenly muttered in his heart, why does this dress look so much like a dragon robe worn by singing? My grandfather is a grass man, and he has never seen a real dragon robe, he just feels that the old man in the tomb can be dressed like this, it should not be simple. In the feudal dynasty, yellow has always been the exclusive use of the royal family, and ordinary people dare to use yellow cloth or something, that is, rebellion and punishment of the nine clans.

In addition to a yellow robe, the old man also wore a black hat inlaid with gems on his head, a yellow robe and a hat, and the whole looked graceful and luxurious.

My grandfather couldn't help but turn his head and ask Xiao Laodao, "Brother Xiao, in this coffin, it can't be any previous emperor of the Song Dynasty, right?" ”

Xiao Laodao waved his hand, "Absolutely not, if the emperor would not be buried here, but, judging from the appearance of the corpse, it is indeed the crown of the dragon robe, since ancient times, only the emperor can wear the dragon robe to be buried." Xiao Laodao paused, and then said: "In the past, when I went to the tomb, I also encountered this situation, but those are all masters who want to seek power and usurp the throne, and they failed to succeed in their lifetime, and they have to wear dragon robes to be buried after death." Right now, in my opinion, this person may have been in a high position and power during his lifetime, and he also wanted to rebel, but he may not have succeeded, and after he died, his descendants will give him a yellow robe, and it is expected that his descendants should also have the intention of rebelling and usurping the throne. ”

Hearing what Xiao Lao Dao said, my grandfather nodded, "Brother Xiao is reasonable, no wonder they want to seal the entrance of the cave and build a temple outside, because they are afraid that someone will find out their secret." ”

"Not bad!" Xiao Laodao immediately instructed Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Eleven to take "five grain water" and red cloth silk. The red cloth is soaked in chicken blood, used to ward off evil spirits, what is the five grains of water, and when they take it out, my grandfather took a look, and put it in a leather bag, opened the stopper on it, and there was a smell of wine.

Grain water, in fact, is spirits, why call wine "grain water", Xiao Laodao later explained to my grandfather that wine is made of grains, grains can not only be used to satisfy hunger and wine, directly soak with water, sprinkle on the ground can also ward off evil spirits, but it is inconvenient to take the five grains to ward off evil spirits, and you have to find something to soak in water, so you directly bring wine, but the wine used to ward off evil spirits can no longer be called wine, otherwise it will not work.

The ancients were actually very wise, but they sometimes always used the words of ghosts and gods to cover up the essence of things, wine contains alcohol, which can be used for disinfection, and the corpse in the coffin is heavy, and over time it will produce toadstools, and the objects inside will also be stained with some, and if you use wine, you can offset some of the damage of germs and reduce the chance of infection.

The three masters and apprentices wrapped their hands with red cloth and silk first, and then poured them on it with "five grain water", and then prepared to dig out the objects in the coffin.

In the coffin, there are not too many funeral goods, the most conspicuous thing is the things in the hands of the deceased, in the right hand of the deceased, holding a cane, three feet long, the body of the cane seems to be wooden, but I don't know what kind of wood it is, black and shiny, the head of the cane is a golden dragon head, and the dragon mouth holds a golden bead, which seems to be made of pure gold; In the left hand of the deceased, he held a fist-sized golden toad, and the golden toad held a copper coin with a round outer circle and a square inner square in his mouth, and the whole thing was also golden, two objects, which looked very luxurious and should be worth a lot of money.

In addition to these two objects, in the neck and wrist of the deceased, there were also some small objects, among which there was a very strange object, which was placed in the abdomen of the deceased, was a small white jade plate, and in the plate, there was a cyan bead the size of an eyeball, which was placed on the stomach, and I don't know what it was for.

Xiao Laodao also noticed the plate, and didn't hurry to let Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Shiyi do it, he handed the torch in his hand to Xiao Chujiu, reached out and took out the plate, and after looking at the beads in the plate, he took off the beads, turned it over and glanced at the back of the plate, just this glance, his face changed slightly, and he screamed softly: "It's not good, the corpse has really been passive." ”

Before the words fell, the dried corpse in the coffin sat up coldly, and the unexpected changes, including my grandfather, all gasped.

My grandfather reacted the fastest, "brushed" and pulled out the short sword in his waist, and at the same time, the dry corpse that sat up shook twice, which caused my grandfather and several of their hearts to tremble, and before a few people stabilized their gods, from behind the shoulders of the dried corpse, a dark and green flat head poked out......

"Snake!" Xiao Chujiu shouted, and the three of Xiao Laodao masters and apprentices retreated a few steps back at the same time.

When my grandfather looked closely, he saw that the head that poked out was very much like a snake's head, flat and round, the size of a bowl, and in comparison, it was larger than the old man's skull head.

The whole one is dark and shiny, and a pair of eyes are beads like agate, and the blood red is faintly revealing evil light.

Did this head grow out of the old man's back? But how can a dead man have a head, or a snake head, isn't it a fantasy?

My grandfather couldn't figure it out, and besides, the first time he went to the tomb, he encountered such a bizarre and strange thing, and he couldn't accept it at all.

Xiao Laodao seemed to understand what was going on, and hurriedly greeted my grandfather, "Brother Liu, go quickly, this strange thing is not easy to mess with!" ”

Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Shiyi have a very tacit understanding, without saying a word, they turned around and ran, my grandfather hesitated with a short sword, his well-known "Dragon Slayer", the dragon has been killed, can you scare a snake away now, besides, how could a snake head emerge from the dead man, my grandfather wanted to understand, not only did he not leave, but greeted Xiao Laodao, "Brother Xiao, don't panic, it's just a little snake." ”

Xiao Laodao suddenly looked anxious, and came over and grabbed my grandfather, "Brother, this thing is not a snake, we can't afford to provoke it, let's go with my brother first, and then talk about ......it when we get out."

My grandfather looked at it, Xiao Laodao seemed to be really anxious, since the day I met him, I had never seen him so nervous, although my grandfather was a master of art and bold, but he would not be reckless and unsure, he also wanted to hear how Xiao Laodao explained.

was pulled by Xiao Laodao, immediately dispelled all thoughts, and ran towards the door of the stone room with the three masters and apprentices, who didn't care about the baggage left next to the coffin.

Seeing that a few people were about to run to the door of the stone room, a blue light suddenly flashed in front of them, and Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Shiyi, who were running in front, suddenly stopped, and Xiao Laodao and my grandfather also stopped.

The master looked at the door of the stone room, and a dark blue strange thing blocked the door, and saw this strange thing, the head was like a snake, but it was dozens of times larger than the head of an ordinary snake, and the body was very thick, and it could be the thickness of an adult's thighs, but it was only three feet long, with a snake head, fish tail, no feet, and a layer of dark cyan fish scales.

What is this? If you say that it is not a snake, or that it is not a snake and that it is like a snake, you can call it a strange snake.

My grandfather has never seen this kind of strange snake, he subconsciously turned his head and glanced into the coffin behind him, and saw the dry corpse that sat up just now turned back into the coffin.

Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Shiyi didn't seem to know this thing, and when they saw that the door was blocked, one copied the torch and the other copied the crowbar, and they were about to rush over, Xiao Laodao saw this, and hurriedly stopped them, "Don't move!" ”

Xiao Laodao quickly separated Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Eleven, and cautiously walked towards the strange snake at the door, at this time, the strange snake was motionless, and the blood-red eyes and beads stared at Xiao Laodao, Xiao Laodao walked up to it, actually clasped his fists with both hands, arched his hand at it, and said: "Poor Dao doesn't know that Daxian is practicing here, and he has offended a lot, and I hope Daxian will forgive me." ”

After Xiao Laodao finished speaking, the strange snake looked him up and down, and actually stuck out his tongue with a "sizzle", my grandfather was stunned when he saw this, this strange thing seems to be able to understand human words.
