As soon as we heard this, we were all interested, dead things are better than living things, and we sixty or seventy long guns and short cannons disdain a coffin, but we can always have fun looking at it.

We traveled lightly and followed the man deeper into the woods. I can't describe this strange scene when I saw a coffin embedded in the trunk of a towering ancient tree, because the wooden coffin has been integrated with the trunk, and we can't tell whether the original designer hollowed out the trunk and stuffed the coffin into it, or used the whole tree as a coffin.

"Tree burial, a way of burial in remote areas." Yellow Fur walked out of the group.

I glanced at this guy, and his originally angry demeanor was extremely focused on this corpse coffin.

"You still know this?" I wondered.

Huang Mao scratched the hair on the top of his head embarrassedly, "Family heirloom craft, I know a little bit." ”

It's really talented, I took a look at the leather bag, it seems that we have all kinds of work in the team.

I took a cigarette in my mouth, "If you don't bury it in the ground, what are you doing in the tree?" ”

"Into the soil is safe, into the tree is complete. Trees can reach the sky, just like what we mean now when we say heaven. ”

I nodded, not understanding what he meant. "Can you tell what age it is? What did this person in the coffin do before? ”

Huang Mao shook his head, "Even if there are words, they will grow into the trunk of the tree." Then he picked at the bark with his hand, and sighed strangely.

"Any questions?" Leather bag asked.

"You see, it's not a tree trunk." Huang Mao took a knife and scraped it twice at the point where he had just picked his hand, and a pile of rust fell down.

When I walked in, I found that the texture of this place was indeed not very harmonious with the whole trunk, and it was not the bark of the tree, but an iron chain the thickness of an arm. Due to the long-term drying and oxidation, it fades to a tan color like the bark of the tree, and as the trunk grows horizontally, it is deeply embedded in the tree.

The yellow-haired fox looked at the tree suspiciously, "After placing the coffin, wrapping the tree around the tree with iron chains, this doesn't seem to be a friendly gesture, it seems, it seems to be ......."

"It's like a fart, say it quickly!" The glasses rested and urged impatiently.

"It seems that they don't want the contents of the coffin to come out."

As soon as Huang Mao's words came out, everyone present was scared. I don't know anything about tomb robbing, but I don't read this kind of novel less, and there shouldn't be a zombie in it.

"Do you understand it, don't sit here in the middle of the day and tell everyone ghost stories. Maybe I'm afraid that the coffin lid won't be tightly covered and will fall off after a long time. The glasses went back to the top.

Huang Mao scratched his head in embarrassment, "I understand everything, I understand a little." ”

I urged everyone, "Okay, okay, it's just a coffin that can't be opened anyway, it's gone, there's nothing to look at." "I don't want to be in this place.

So everyone began to turn around and prepare to go back, but Leather Bao'er stood there and was dazed, "Maybe, maybe I don't want people from outside to go in." ”

This is a very useful sentence, why not let people in, because there are ulterior secrets, and there will be some ulterior secrets in this deep mountain and old forest - treasure.

After being guided by intransigence and preconceived thinking, a group of people inexplicably fell into a carnival, and a few even began to prepare to dig trees. I angrily pulled the bag aside and scolded, "You're sick, you know they're looking for treasure, and you still say that, if anything bad really comes out, we'll all follow it!" ”

After I finished scolding, Leather Bag lit a cigarette, and then handed me one, "I said Lin Feng, are you really stupid or fake stupid." You also said that they came to find the treasure, and now they are only halfway there, and they don't know when they will be the head when they will continue to walk forward. Just say that the treasure is in this tree, and when the time comes, they will work blindly and find nothing, go back to the top and make a difference, you will save trouble and I will save trouble, I am for the good of both of us! ”

I heard Leather Bag say this, and patted my head, "It's really a mother's idea, I can't see it, you kid still has these two sets." ”

The bag smiled, and then the glasses called us over to help. Through the observation of the past few days, I found that glasses should be in the center of this team, not the boss but also the leadership class, and there must be a chance to talk to him.

The tree was so thick that a dozen people wielding shovels could hit no one. We divided 60 or so people into four groups, cut for half an hour, and shovels were wasted. We suddenly realized that this was not an option at all, and that the iron mixed with the trunk was not something that could be solved by man, and more than 60 of us took turns to pour it around, and only gently swallowed off a small piece.

"At this rate, the foreman won't give money!" I crouched on the side and smoked a cigarette.

"Shut your crow's mouth!" In front of an unknown treasure, the glasses appear impatient. So we changed our strategy and started digging longitudinally, and at first it was very easy to dig more than half a meter, and then we encountered the same difficulties. The roots of the trees underneath the ground are crisscrossed and intertwined, and a tiny whisker is as thick as an adult's waist. I once read in a book that it is like a tree that grows for four or five years, and all the fibrous roots can circle the earth once together. According to this calculation, isn't it that the entire forest of Tiantai Mountain is at the foot of this tree.

"I can't dig anymore, it's as hard as a stone." A man jumped up into the pit and threw the curled shovel to the ground.

The glasses spat at the ground hard, "Blow it up for me!" ”

We had thought about this before, but because of the high cost (we didn't bring too much explosives), we chose it as an alternative. The C4 in charge of blasting was carried with us, and because of the lesson we had learned last time, we avoided it for a long time, and the two who were in charge of blasting fixed the "chewing gum" to the trunk of the tree and planted the detonator.

"It's going to blow up, it's going to blow up!"

"Boom~"

Sawdust flies, it works! The trunk of the tree, which was as hard as stone, was torn open with a gap. The two of them ran over quickly, put the medicine, planted the pipes, and detonated them.

"It's going to blow up, it's going to blow up!" The two of them rushed towards us.

"Boom~"

After repeating this four or five times, the coffin itself was finally revealed, and from the fracture of the stubble, we found that the coffin was not simply made of wood, and the innermost layer of the cut surface showed the texture of the stone.

"Strange." Huang Mao held his cheeks, "Generally speaking, tree burials and sarcophagi are the burial methods of ethnic minorities in the southwest region. The stone is on the outside and the wood is inside to prevent insects and ants from eating and the corpse from rotting, but this coffin is indeed wood inside, and the sarcophagus is inside, what do they want to do? ”

"Could it be that there are not enough stones, shoddy, anyway, the dead man kicks his legs, and he doesn't know anything."

Huang Mao was angry with me, "You must know that the sarcophagus and iron coffin were a vicious curse in ancient times, and the cursed person who died will never be reborn, and will never enter the three reincarnations. Thinking that Wu Zetian usurped the Li family's country, and the three hundred loyal martyrs of the Xue family died tragically at the hands of the Empress Wu, Wu Zetian used pig lead and pig iron to melt down an iron mound tomb in the Xue family's main hall in order to prevent the scandal from being exposed. ”

"This is ruthless enough." Leather Bao'er shrunk her neck, "You mean that there are three hundred unjust ghosts hidden in this big tree?" ”

Huang Mao smiled, "That's not it, it's just that I think it's a little strange, why did I bury the corpse in the tree so hard, not to let the dead reincarnate?" ”

"It doesn't matter why, you won't know if it explodes!" The glasses urged impatiently, "Monkey, keep blowing up!" ”

"Everything you carry with you is blown up."

"Then hurry up and get the equipment!"

The young man called the monkey sighed, and led the two of them to the resting place where we rested. After a while, the servants ran back in a panic, "No, no, our equipment is gone!" ”
