Chapter 9: Hairpins
Professor Wang looked at the golden silk veil in his hand, which was beautiful a few minutes ago, and instantly turned into a black waste, and he regretted it in his heart, and he wanted to slap himself a few times.
"Professor, what the hell is going on? It's okay when this veil is opened, how can it become like this after taking out the coffin area? ”
Seeing this scene, Xiao Cheng was also extremely distressed, and there was a hint of reproach in the tone of Professor Wang's speech, which would never have happened in the past.
"Well, I don't understand. It stands to reason that if the air is oxidized when it is seen, it may turn black when the coffin is opened. And this veil seems to be made of gold, so it shouldn't be possible. Now we are all sinners who have caused the destruction of precious cultural relics. ”
"Could it be that this wooden coffin has a magical cultural relics preservation effect?" Xiao Li on the side suddenly interjected.
His words reminded Professor Wang, so he took a closer look at the coffin, but no matter how he looked at it, he found nothing. He was just an archaeologist, not a metaphysician, nor a physicist, and he couldn't see anything mysterious about the coffin.
"Professor, do you want to continue collecting artifacts?" Xiao Cheng looked at the female corpse in the coffin and asked.
"Is there anything else you can collect?" Xiao Li grabbed a sentence.
"This female corpse itself is the most precious cultural relic, if you look at the bun in her hair, it is definitely made of pure gold, isn't this valuable...... Relics? Xiao Cheng was talking, and saw that Zhao Aiguo on the opposite side was also looking at the bun, and couldn't help but pause.
"Do you still want this bun to be ruined on the spot like a veil?" Xiao Li asked.
"Don't be alarmist, the bun is a cultural relic made of whole gold, and it will never be destroyed like a veil."
"Why do you say that? If it really turns black and is damaged, it will sell you, and you can't afford to pay for it! ”
"Nonsense, the overall structure is different from the hollowed-out veil, and it will definitely not be blackened and damaged!"
"Shut up!" Listening to the quarrel between the two, Professor Wang got angry and shouted to stop it. Xiao Cheng and Xiao Li immediately shut up in amusement.
"I still have to take this bun." Professor Wang continued. Hearing this, Xiao Cheng had a smug expression on his face.
"But you can't take it now, after checking that there are no other cultural relics, I think it's better to reseal the coffin and transport it out as a whole and then find a way to take it, the same mistake can only be made once." Professor Wang said slowly.
"What? Can this be done? Dragging a coffin on the road, will this cause trouble? Xiao Cheng exclaimed, and everyone was also a little stunned by Professor Wang's words.
"This coffin and the female corpse are priceless treasures, and they are of immeasurable value to us and to the country. If I don't take it here, I'm worried that when I come back in the future, the geography will change, and I won't be able to find it again. ”
"But how is this coffin going to be transported?" Xiao Cheng was still puzzled.
"Well, I'll take care of this." At this time, Bahar, the guide on the side, spoke. All eyes turned to him.
"You Han people may not understand that in the desert, this is very easy. Camels can be dragged by camels, and the sand in the desert is like water in the river. Bahar explained.
"Isn't that going to be a drag?" Xiao Cheng didn't give up yet.
"Okay, no need to say more, that's it."
Professor Wang glared at Xiao Cheng and instructed him to see if there were any other cultural relics in the coffin, and if not, seal the coffin board. The previous round bead Xiao Cheng has been handed over to Professor Wang for safekeeping.
Xiao Cheng nodded in agreement, but he was very unwilling in his heart. Where such a valuable bun was lying like this, his heart was tickling like being bitten by an ant. While nailing the coffin board with Xiao Li, he was thinking hard and struggling.
At this time, Professor Wang, accompanied by Xu Shan, walked around the excavation site to see if there was anything else to discover, and Zhao Aiguo also followed. Everyone else was looking around sporadically to see if they were lucky enough to pick up some of the leaks.
Ten minutes later, Professor Wang didn't find anything, so he went up to the desert floor to rest for a while.
Zhao Aiguo naturally followed, and there were only Xiao Li, Xiao Cheng and two other students at the excavation site, and at this time Xiao Cheng and Xiao Li had to repair the last piece, because the piece that was damaged when the coffin was pried open before.
"Mom! The female corpse is deceiving the corpse! Run! Suddenly, Xiao Li let out a hysterical scream, then dropped the steel drill in his hand and turned to run.
"What's going on?" Professor Wang, who was sitting and resting above, stood up and shouted.
"Female corpse, female corpse is decomposed! You, you see! Xiao Li took three steps and made two steps to the side, and was about to climb up.
Professor Wang looked at the coffin board when he heard this, Xiao Cheng immediately picked up the last coffin board and was about to cover it, Professor Wang still saw through the gap that the female corpse was rapidly decomposing, her head was rolling aside, and the beauty of the past became a fantasy for thousands of years.
"Xiao Cheng! What did you do? Professor Wang rebuked angrily.
"I, I didn't do anything." Xiao Cheng turned his head, and although he answered calmly, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes was still caught by Professor Wang.
"Did you take off the girl's hair without permission? Say! Professor Wang shouted angrily.
"I ...... Yes!! ”
Xiao Cheng hesitated for a moment, and was about to say something, when he suddenly let out a terrible scream, and then jumped up in the excavation pit, and the whole person seemed crazy.
"Bugs, there's black bugs!"
The other two illuminated students soon saw several black bugs drilling out of the bottom of the round coffin, and one bug actually bit through Xiao Cheng's instep and directly drilled into his body!
Then two black bugs quickly crawled towards the two students, and they were a little frightened by Xiao Cheng's miserable appearance and fell to the ground.
"Stand up and kill that bug!" Professor Wang also saw the black bugs, and when he saw that his students were frightened, he immediately roared.
The two students were awakened and immediately held up their torches and slapped the black bugs that rushed towards them on the ground with the sapper shovels in their hands.
Syllable! Smack! The sapper shovel swung and smashed the black bugs in a few clicks, and the splintered slimy liquid was very fishy and disgusting on the sapper shovel.
At this time, Xiao Cheng had already fallen in the excavation pit, as if he had lost his mind, scratching his hands and feet everywhere like cramps, screaming in his mouth, and blood flowing from his mouth.
As his movements grew louder and louder, a golden object was thrown out, which was the bun on the head of the female corpse. Seeing this scene, Professor Wang sighed, greed and obsession finally cost Xiao Cheng his life.
"Xiao Cheng is hopeless, you two come up quickly!" It's not that Professor Wang doesn't want to save Xiao Cheng, but even if he is rescued now, he will definitely not survive for a few hours.
The other two students woke up from a dream and turned to run. But at this time, a few more and a dozen black bugs poured out from under the coffin, and quickly rushed towards the two students.
They screamed in fright, slapping the black bugs with their sapper shovels as they ran to the excavation pit. But more black bugs poured in, and it was very critical.
"Xu Shan, Da Niu, go and help them!"
When Professor Wang saw so many black bugs, an ominous premonition came to his heart, and he hurriedly beckoned his bodyguards to go down and save people.
When Xu Shan heard this, he immediately leaped down, and a soft whip with iron thorns appeared in his hand, and he killed seven or eight small insects in an instant.
Da Niu was holding a large sapper shovel, and with one swing, he killed two or three, and in a few seconds, Xu Shan smashed all the black bugs together. Then the two of them pushed, sent the two students with weak hands and feet, and turned over themselves.
At this time, Xiao Cheng in the excavation pit was already crawling half of his body with black insects, he whimpered in pain, he couldn't make any sound, and blood foam flowed down his mouth.
Xiao Cheng, who still didn't give up, instinctively wanted to crawl towards Xu Shan and them, but his thighs were already crawling with black insects, and this leg no longer listened to the command of his brain.
Then, an even more striking scene ensued.
Under the stunned eyes of everyone, Xiao Cheng's abdomen and legs were quickly bitten into white bones! The black insects were actually gnawing on their flesh, and some of the students couldn't help but cry and vomit after witnessing this horrific scene.
Xiao Cheng was already bleeding from his seven orifices, and he was still reaching out to Professor Wang, and at this time he was completely speechless. His eyes were so desperate and painful, he was begging his teacher to save him, this scene made Professor Wang's heart twist, because he couldn't do anything at the moment.
Soon Xiao Cheng's upper body was also covered by black insects, and the raised right hand hung down. In less than a minute, a large living person was reduced to a pile of bones, scattered all over the ground.
Everyone on the edge of the pit fell silent, and Xiao Cheng, who had just been alive and well, was now turned into white bones, all of which they couldn't accept.
"Don't stand stupid, everyone is gone, we still have to live. These black bugs will definitely rush up and bite us after eating Xiao Cheng! Pick up the guys! ”
Zhao Aiguo saw that Professor Wang and the others were all a little sluggish because of frustration and sadness, and he couldn't help but be anxious. Although he was a little apprehensive when he first saw the bones, the more dangerous he became, the calmer he became, picked up a sapper shovel, and rushed to the edge of the pit first.
Xu Shan nodded, and immediately pulled Professor Wang and galloped towards the camel, wanting to leave here, but it was too late. The black bugs quickly crawled out of Xiao Cheng's bones and climbed up along the hole, which would be very dangerous if everyone turned around now and left their backs to the enemy.
"Don't be afraid of these bugs, they killed Xiao Cheng, let's fight these little bastards! Let's see if their shells can withstand our vengeful wrath and shoot them to death! ”
Zhao Aiguo shouted loudly. As a once excellent martial arts organizer, his value was immediately apparent at this time. Everyone was a little hesitant, but they were aroused by Zhao Aiguo's words, and they picked up sappers and shoveled them to guard the edge of the pit, waiting for the battle.
At this time, the black insects in the pit surged upwards like a black tide, and people were terrified to see it.
