Chapter 65: The Coffin in the Tree

Wang Hong's words made everyone feel shocked, and they all looked towards the canopy, Wang Hong took out a bundle of rope from the bag and threw it down, tied it to the canopy, and let us all climb up, Yan Liu was like a monkey, he didn't use a rope, he kicked the trunk of the tree with both legs, and he went up directly like pulling a thunderbolt on the dry land.

Lei Liu and Agui are also very skilled, only I am very weak, pulling the rope, pulling up, climbing down, and only then did I go up to the canopy.

I went up to the canopy and looked down, it was pitch black, and the center of the whole tree was empty, and there was a hollow hole in the center of the old locust tree with a thickness of five or six hugs. The bird died of a long doctor.

"Graveyards grow ghosts, with ill intentions."

I listened to Yan Liushenshen muttering, and I didn't pay attention to him, this old locust tree was born so thick, and then it was cut down by someone, transplanted here, originally this old locust tree must not have survived, but because it was buried in the corpse collection ground, there were thousands of corpses nourishing it, and it actually made him die in spring.

Wang Hong dragged the rope up, dropped it in the old locust tree, and threw it down with the fire candle, followed the light, looked at the white flowers below, Wang Hong went down the rope, the three of them jumped down like they couldn't catch it, I was not idle, and fell down with a slip along the rope.

But because the injuries on my body were too serious, I didn't have much strength at all, and as soon as my hand was weak, the whole person fell to the ground with a "poof", stirring up a cloud of dust, and Wang Hong's tears of laughter were about to fall.

I was also annoyed, took a breath, picked up the candle, glanced at it, and suddenly startled me. I saw that there were colorful murals painted on the high dome, just like the real thing.

A soaring dragon, but the head is downward, the body of the dragon is actually sitting full of gods and Buddhas, there are pure glass Vajra Bodhisattvas, there are dragons and tigers, and there are some Taoist immortals, these people stand on the dragon's body with different expressions, but the expressions are very vicious, although the body of this dragon flies. But the huge dragon head was in the middle, in a state of falling, with a huge dragon's mouth, and I was lying on the ground, with an immersive feeling, as if he would come down and swallow me in the next second.

I got up and thought to myself, few people painted these fierce gods and Buddhas in the tombs, most of them were charitable-looking gods and Buddhas, and painting this kind of gods and Buddhas was more like suppressing the anger of the tomb owner.

Wang Hong saw that I was stunned, he stabbed me twice, I came back to my senses, and at the moment I saw that my heart was stuck in my throat, and I had a feeling that I couldn't speak.

The whole burial chamber is not very large, only a square circle of one zhang, at a distance of two meters from the wall, there is actually a trench, and there is a layer of white things floating in the trench, exuding a dense atmosphere, you don't need to think about it to know, it is all mercury.

And on the wall one meter away from the trench, there are terrifying and hideous old tree roots, which old tree roots are like human blood vessels, all over the wall, but they are strangely not rooted in the groove.

This groove is the "Tianhe", and legend has it that only the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang has such a system.

Seeing this, I am even more sure that someone deliberately built such a grave, mercury prevents the old locust tree from taking root in the tomb, but it does not prevent the old locust tree's natal tree roots from penetrating in, and the five of us unconsciously move closer to the center of the tomb.

In the very center of the grave, tree roots came out of the ground and wrapped a coffin, which was actually placed vertically, and I had never seen such a funeral act.

But I was not surprised by this, I was struck by the power of the old locust tree, and although the mercury prevented it from extending directly from the ground, it took root deeper into the ground, penetrated deeper into the ground, and wrapped the coffin.

Wang Hong took a shovel and cut the end of the old tree root that was gnawed off deeper, this coffin more than two meters high and more than four feet wide was densely wrapped, and it could only be identified as a coffin from the gap, but there was a hole in the root of the tree more than one meter and eight meters, as if it was gnawed out by something.

Wang Hong and Agui smashed hard, and finally enlarged the hole, the four of them, you look at me, I look at you, all have thoughts, I know, they all want to find a chance to touch the things inside, I said: "Don't ink, if you believe me, I'll come."

The four of them agreed immediately, and Wang Hong gave me the candle, and I took the candle and shone it towards the hole, and then looked into the coffin.

But it was a little dark inside, and the smell was a little unpleasant, so I covered my nose and brought my face closer, and as soon as I got so close, I suddenly felt something come out, and my backbone trembled, and the thing that came over was actually a human face.

The face was stuck in the hole of the tree, and the five of us hurriedly retreated, my legs were very weak, and I sat on the ground directly, and the whole tomb was silent, and the five of us looked at the face directly.

My brain was a little confused, I was so frightened, half of my life was gone, and suddenly a face was pasted in the coffin, even the fairy Lao Tzu had to be frightened, I looked at that face, fresh, vivid, the bloodshot on the face was clearly seen, the eyes were half-open, like a smile but not a smile, red lips, making people look hairy.

The whole tomb was silent for a long time, and then Wang Hong, the man, asked: "Are you a fucking living person?"

Several of us waited for the woman in the coffin to reply, but we could only wait for Wang Hong to scold our father and mother.

"Grass your second uncle, it's actually a dead girl, it's shocking to death."

We were all relieved when we heard Wang Hong scolding like this, the woman in this coffin was a dead person, so it didn't matter, Wang Hong said: "Split the roots of the tree, Lao Tzu is going to pick her alive."

Just do it, Wang Hong kept cutting with a shovel, and Agui also helped, the two of them cut out a gap in the dense old tree roots, and dug out the coffin inside, Wang Hong inserted it into the coffin, said goodbye, and actually opened the coffin lid.

With a bang, the coffin lid fell to the ground, and a "bang" sound followed, and several people were dumbfounded when they looked at what fell from the coffin.

"Gold ingots."

All of them are gold ingots, each gold ingot is the size of a fist, there are dozens, Wang Hong squatted on the ground, picked up one of the gold ingots, put it in his mouth and took a bite, I smacked him at the time, this thing has been put with the dead for hundreds of years, even if the gold is not fucking put in the mouth, but Wang Hong didn't care, grabbed one and stuffed it into his pocket.

Yan Liu and Lei Liu, they were still waiting to hurry up and began to grab gold ingots, I have always been afraid to be interested in dead people's money, I looked at the coffin, the luminous beads in it were inlaid at the bottom of the coffin, one by one, a total of twenty-four, each luminous bead was engraved with Manchu text on the side, some words similar to time, it may represent the stars of day and night, and so on, I guess this is the result.

The corpse was dressed with great care. The black hair on one end was still shiny, and he was wearing a phoenix crown on his head, which was the crown of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing, and it was very thick, much heavier than the phoenix crown seen in the coffin in the cave before.

The whole face was extremely well preserved, as if she had just died, and I looked at her face. With a mysterious smile, that smile had a special taste, and I felt extremely uncomfortable in the face of this smile

This smile is so mysterious, what exactly does it represent

This woman is very particular about dressing, she is actually wearing a phoenix robe, the phoenix robe is wearing three glazed Buddha beads, the material should be agate, her hands are shriveled and only a layer of skin remains, but it is still white, and the black spots on it appear black and white.

In his hand, he held a one-foot-long folded paperwork, like a fold, but the material was made of jade. The jade plaque is engraved with Manchu script, which I can't read. But I knew this thing was supposed to be a "grace card" or something.

This woman may be a member of the royal family, I probably know that every woman in the royal harem will have a grace card to wear as soon as she enters the palace, which is the certificate of the emperor's reward and canonization, and her reward and status must be determined by this certificate after leaving the palace and after death.

I grabbed the jade plaque, gently tugged it, and pulled it off, looking nothing unusual, I just stuffed the jade plaque into the waistband of my trousers, I looked around again, but found that there was nothing else in the coffin, and I didn't know what the old Manchurian in Yan Liu's mouth was looking for.

Wang Hong saw me staring at the coffin, so he hurriedly ran over, threw the twenty-four fist-sized night pearls into his clothes, made the clothes bulging, and then dragged the back of the corpse's head to gently drag up a distance of three inches, dragging three strings of Buddhist beads in one hand, and took it off as soon as he took it off, the speed was extremely fast, and he stuffed it into his clothes when he was done, and he didn't stop it, and pulled out the golden fork tied on the corpse's head one by one, and wanted to take the phoenix crown away.

I didn't stop it, and suddenly Wang Hong pulled out something, which startled me, it was actually a five-inch long iron nail, which was pulled out of the back of the head, and it was rusted and bloodstained.

Wang Hong looked at the iron nail, threw it on the ground, and said: "There is actually a defective product" After speaking, he took off the phoenix crown, and I was shocked when I saw that the iron nail was thrown on the ground, and scolded: "What the hell are you doing, this is a coffin nail."

Wang Hong was a little unhappy when he heard me scolding him, and he pointed at me and just wanted to scold me, but his two eyes widened, pointed to the woman in the coffin, and stammered and shouted: "She, she, alive"

I listened to Wang Hong's words, I felt a gust of wind in my back, I smelled a smell of fat powder, my brain was a little confused, I looked at Wang Hong's pig's liver-colored face, I knew it was over.

"Giggles"

The familiar laughter exploded in my ears and gave me goosebumps all over my body, and as soon as I turned around, my heart was furious.

"You're alive."
