Chapter 360: Two Corpse Men
"Hurry, hurry up, it won't last long here!"
Lao Ba's voice came from behind us, and I instinctively looked back, only to see that the cracks in the tomb wall were getting bigger and bigger, and through the cracks, I could vaguely see a black beetle wriggling in the tomb wall, about the size of an egg, and the number was so large that it was astonishing.
"Seventh Master, don't wait, life and death are rich and noble, just open this one!" As soon as I finished speaking, the guy began to open the rivets on the lid of the coffin, and then kicked on the lid of the coffin, only to hear a creak, and the lid began to slide backwards.
I don't know if it's because of the lack of strength of my foot, or if there is another mechanism on the coffin lid, the coffin lid is only half opened and stopped, when I held up the flashlight, I found that there were two corpses lying in the coffin, one corpse was tall, the other was a little shorter, it should be a man and a woman.
At this time, Wang Chuyi spoke, "Seventh Master, let's... That's right, right? ”
I saw that the seventh master wiped a handful of cold sweat from his head, nodded, and said, "It's right, it's lucky, you can't be so reckless next time!" After speaking, the seventh master came to the coffin, and when he leaned over to look inside, he suddenly exclaimed, "No! This corpse is not right! ”
Originally, our spirits were already highly tense, and the seventh master's voice was so frightened that my legs were weak, and I almost collapsed on the ground.
"What's wrong?"
The Seventh Master put his hand into the coffin, touched the face of one of the corpses, and then touched the shoulder of the other corpse, and after a sigh, he said, "These are actually two male corpses!" ”
As soon as the seventh master said this, Wang Chuyi and I were also stunned, the general joint burial coffin is a husband and wife burial together, a man and a woman, and now there are two male corpses in this coffin! It's really confusing, is it a mistake?
I hurriedly asked the Seventh Master, only to see the Seventh Master shake his head and say, "It's absolutely not wrong, if it was wrong, this ancient tomb would have collapsed a long time ago." ”
"Then why are there two male corpses?"
The Seventh Master shook his head again.
I walked over and took a closer look, and found that the faces of the two male corpses were wearing masks made of metal, this mask had become black because of the age, and the lines on it were no longer visible, but judging from the size and style in front of them, those who could wear this kind of mask when they died must have been prominent people, and it seems that the two corpses in this coffin were not low in status at that time.
I stretched out my hand to touch it, when the fingertips touched the mask on the corpse's face, I suddenly felt like an electric shock, and the fingertips suddenly numb, and then the whole body trembled, and then a cold chill traveled along the fingertips all over the body, only to feel like I was in an ice cave, and quickly shook my body, and my fingers left the mask and continued to touch, when I touched the corpse's shoulder, I felt that something was wrong.
The corpse I touched in my hand was the shorter of the two corpses, that is to say, the one I first thought was a female corpse, but this corpse has thick shoulders, and it is definitely a male corpse from the bones and outfits, but it is too bizarre for two male corpses to appear in this coffin at the same time.
I followed the corpse and felt something bump into it, and my fingertips touched a hard object.
I am happy in my heart, I feel a hard object in this coffin, that is generally a dead vessel, this underworld weapon also has a law, generally in the coffin with the funeral goods are the most valuable, and among these burial goods, the smaller the volume, the higher the value, adhering to this law, my heart has been happy, because the object I touched, at most will not exceed two centimeters, it seems that it must be a valuable goods.
So I didn't hesitate at all, two fingers just lightly clamped, and the thing was clamped out, when I saw the appearance of the object clearly, I couldn't help but be stunned, the green jade-like small snake shape ornament, isn't this the snake twin buckle that Boss Jin asked us to find? It turned out to be in this ancient tomb! It seems that Boss Jin's information is really accurate enough!
After I found out the snake twin buckle, Wang Chuyi also found something similar to a waist card from under the other corpse, and she didn't look at it much, and put it in the backpack with her backhand.
At this moment, the tomb wall behind us made another crunching sound, and the gap in the wall widened a lot, and I saw some insects squeezing their bodies, trying to get out of the gap, to see their posture, once they rushed out, they would definitely bite us to bite the bones and slag left.
I didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly reached out to continue to touch, when I touched the abdomen of this corpse, I suddenly felt a very hard feeling, and immediately chuckled in my heart, and quickly asked, "Seventh Master, there is something in the stomach of this corpse, it is very hard, could it be a strong crossbow mechanism?" ”
In the previous tombs, I have also seen the ancients set up mechanisms in the corpses, and now that I have encountered them again, I have become much more cautious.
When the seventh master heard me shouting, he walked towards me, and when he put his hand on the corpse's stomach, his face changed suddenly, his brows furrowed, and he lowered his voice and said, "This is not a strong crossbow, but like a box." ”
"A box!?"
Wang Chuyi exclaimed in surprise, and then said, "There is a box in the corpse? How is this ......?"
The Seventh Master waved his hand, interrupted Wang Chuyi's words, and said, "It should be that after this person died, his stomach was broken open and the box was forcibly put into the corpse." ”
After listening to the seventh master, Wang Chuyi and I couldn't help but gasp, you must know that in ancient times, there was absolutely no explanation of this statement, people die greatly, and they are generally full of respect for corpses, and even some people are not as respectable as when they are dead.
Not to mention that such a high-level tomb, two corpses with such a high status, could be disemboweled, and the box was put into the corpse, which simply subverted my understanding of history.
Thinking of this, the seventh master had already taken out his saber, quickly peeled off the clothes that had been stuck to the skin on the outer layer of the corpse, and then gently pierced the tip of the saber into the skin on the corpse's stomach, and with a slight stroke, the skin and flesh on the corpse's stomach were cut.
I hurriedly raised my flashlight and shone it into the corpse's stomach, only to see a square wooden box about 15 centimeters long appear in front of my eyes.
But what surprised me even more was not this box, but this corpse, because the seventh master stripped off the clothes on the surface of the corpse, I saw clearly that this corpse turned out to be a rootless child! That is, what people often call eunuchs!
Seeing this discovery, not only Wang Chuyi and I were taken aback, but even the seventh master's hand holding the knife trembled, and then quickly took out the box from the stomach of the corpse, and before he had time to look at it, he shouted, "Hurry up, go back!" Go outside the tomb gate! ”
As soon as the seventh master's voice fell, he ran away, Wang Chuyi and I hurriedly followed the seventh master, and the eighth child reacted the fastest, when the seventh master shouted to run, he had almost gone out of the tomb and entered the corridor.
After we withdrew to Yongdao, the eighth child asked, "Seventh Master, what did you find?" ”
The seventh master gasped, ignored the eighth child, and shouted, "Close the tomb door!" ”
The seventh master gave an order, Wang Chuyi and I came to the tomb door on the left, and the seventh master and the eighth were on the right, and the four of us worked together to close the tomb door again.
As soon as the door of the tomb closed, I heard a rat-like sound from the tomb creeping into my ears, followed by countless such sounds coming from the tomb.
Hearing this voice, Wang Chuyi's body trembled suddenly, and he said, "It seems that the wall of the tomb has been cracked, and the insects inside have come out!" ”
As soon as Wang Chu's words fell, we heard two loud bangs, "Bang Bang...", and then a huge wave of air rushed directly towards the tomb door, and the four of us used our bodies to resist the tomb door, preventing the tomb door from being rushed open by this huge wave of qi.
At this time, the eighth child asked the seventh master again what happened in the coffin.
I only heard the seventh master speak, "There is a corpse inside, it is a rootless child, half yin and half yang, this kind of corpse appears in the coffin, it is generally a sign of a great murderer, and there must be something wrong." ”
After listening to the words of the seventh master, the eighth child was also stunned, and hurriedly asked, "Seventh master, you said that there is a eunuch's corpse in there?" ”
The seventh master nodded, and then said, "It is estimated that someone dropped the bag, and the person who was supposed to be buried in the coffin was replaced." ”
Wang Chuyi hurriedly asked, "Why is this happening?" How can it be replaced? ”
The Seventh Master replied, "In ancient times, the level of eunuchs was very low, and many eunuchs were not allowed to be on the stage, and no one regarded them as human beings at all, not to mention such an important ancient tomb, even where to build it, these eunuchs definitely didn't know, so there was only one possibility!" ”
I hurriedly asked, "What is the possibility?" ”
The seventh master said with a gloomy face, "In this coffin, the body of the big man should be the owner of the tomb, and the body of the small man is the burial staff, either the most trusted staff of the tomb owner, or someone who is directly related to him, in order to escape the burial, this person found a substitute ghost and let a eunuch bury him instead!" ”
After the Seventh Master finished analyzing, I suddenly felt that the tomb door we were desperately pushing began to get hot, and it slowly began to become warm from the cold feeling before!
"Seventh Master, this door! This door seems to be ......," the old eight shouted.
The seventh master hurriedly replied, "Don't worry about these, resist first, once this door is opened, I'm afraid that the insects inside will rush up, and then we will be gnawed in an instant, and there will be no bones left!" ”
That being said, I was still curious about what was going on inside the tomb, so I leaned through the gap in the tomb door with both hands against the door and looked inside.
