Chapter 249: The Tomb at Your Feet
The jade was blood-red, and it looked very blurry in my eyes, because I was gradually losing consciousness at this time. "≤ "≤ Wen "≤ Xiao" said≤
When it touched my forehead, my body suddenly felt a slight tingling, and I felt the temperature of jade on my forehead, a little cool, but it seemed to be a little hot. I don't know how to describe this feeling in words, but I guess it's a feeling of coolness.
After a while, I felt a slight pain in one ear, and then it was as if something was crawling outward.
This complex series of sensations only exists for a few seconds, but it seems to last for a long time.
"Fifth brother...... Fifth Brother ...... Wu Yishu ......"
Zhao Zitong's voice came from afar, slightly crying, getting closer and closer, and finally ringing in my ears.
My already fading consciousness suddenly flooded back, and everything around me returned to reality.
"Ahh
I sat up with a scream, and the piece of jade on my forehead that Zhao Zitong was pressing also left my body, which made me feel a sense of loss inexplicably.
"Next!" Leng Yue's voice suddenly came from the side.
Zhao Zitong said "um", quickly got up, ran to Liu Fatzi's side, and pressed the jade pendant in his hand on Liu Fatzi's forehead.
At this time, around us, the ground is full of gray-black soil, and the stone statue of the old woman is standing not far away, everything seems to have not changed, and only I can experience the sense of the aftermath of the catastrophe when I have experienced the danger myself.
Leng Yue looked at me from a short distance, his face expressionless, just like his usual appearance.
I got up slowly, my eyes were dark, and I was a little deprived of oxygen in my brain, but I recovered quickly. Then I walked quickly to the side of Fat Liu, and when I looked down, Fat Liu's whole body was slightly convulsed, and his facial features were squeezed together, and he seemed to be in great pain.
Zhao Zitong pressed her jade pendant with her thumb and fingers, and printed it on Liu Fatzi's forehead, so that I could clearly see the appearance of the jade pendant.
The last time I was in the mirage of the ancient house, I saw this piece of jade from afar, but because the light was too dim at that time, I couldn't see it clearly.
Speaking of which, this is the first time I have taken a closer look at this life-saving jade.
The jade is not large, the whole body is transparent blood red, the shape is irregular, and there are many raised stripes on the surface, which looks a bit like a heart.
I frowned, recognizing it as a piece of blood jade.
Blood jade is not a natural jade, it is a kind of jade soaked in blood, which is generally only partially red, and most of the blood jade will be slightly dirty in red.
Legend has it that in ancient times, nobles or royalty generally stuffed a piece of high-quality jade into the mouth of the deceased after burial.
After the jade enters the mouth of the deceased, only in rare cases will it slip into the throat of the deceased.
The blood vessels in the deceased's throat were cut, causing blood to flow out and wrapping the jade.
After a long time, the jade became blood jade, which had a strong effect on warding off evil spirits, but the corpse of the jade was generally turned into dry bones, and it was difficult to preserve it intact.
That's a great irony to say.
In order to prevent the corpse from decomposing, the deceased's mouth was stuffed with a piece of jade, but in the end, because of the jade, the corpse was decomposed.
Although this piece of jade looks like the shape of a heart, it is clearly not carefully carved, a bit like the back-to-basics style pursued by the Ming Dynasty.
Judging from the head and color of this piece of jade, it is definitely the best of the best, and it can be sold for a sky-high price.
However, I don't remember seeing such a piece of blood jade in that Ming Dynasty tomb. If it was really passed on to Zhao Zitong by Zhao Ye, then where did this piece of jade come from?
Just when I was full of doubts, Liu Fatzi woke up faintly, blinking his little eyes and looking around, his face was dazed. Then he suddenly remembered something, jumped up violently, and slapped his body in a panic.
After a few hits, he reacted, turned his head and asked, "I wasn't dreaming just now, was I?" I'm scared to death, I guess I'll lose two pounds of meat......"
I didn't have time to listen to Liu Fatzi's chatter, because I was concerned about the safety of Shen Dali and Zhang Yi, I hurriedly lowered my head and went around to find the two Golden Silk Soul Locking Gu that attacked me and Liu Fatzi.
It is estimated that the one that attacked me can't be found now, but the one that attacked Liu Fatzi should not have run far, and it is the hope of Shen Dali and Zhang Yi to survive.
But when I looked around, there was nothing on the ground except the gray-black dirt.
Leng Yue walked over slowly and asked me, "Looking for Gu?" ”
"Nonsense." I didn't raise my head to say a word to him.
Leng Yue silently walked to the side, used iron chopsticks to remove a piece of dirt, and used iron chopsticks to penetrate it, so that a wrist-thick hole appeared in front of my eyes.
I hurriedly ran over and took out my flashlight in a panic to look inside, but I couldn't see anything.
"Then what kind of Golden Silk Soul Locking Gu got into here?" I asked Leng Yue.
Leng Yue nodded.
I looked at this hole in the ground, and it was a fool's dream to go in and chase the Gu worms.
After my brain was spinning, I suddenly remembered a local method, turned my head to Zhao Zitong and Liu Fatzi and said, "Quick, find some wood." ”
There is not a single grass growing in this stone forest, and where does the wood come from, but with the things we carry, it is not enough to burn.
After thinking for a moment, Leng Yue turned her head and ran away, no matter how much I shouted, she didn't look back.
Just as he was annoyed that he was missing again, he ran back with a lot of sawdust and blocks.
These pieces of wood were cut down by us when we were cleaning up Chen Tao's corpses, and there were really a lot of them, and they were wrapped in a rag by Leng Yue and brought it back, and I don't know where he got that rag from.
I rummaged through my body, turned out all the paper that could be burned, hurriedly pulled out the lighter point, and asked Leng Yue to put the wood on the edge of the hole.
After the efforts of several of us, the fire quickly ignited, and thick smoke rose into the sky.
I endured the smoke and flames, and fanned the smoke into the cave with a sapper shovel.
Seeing my behavior, Liu Fatzi suddenly realized: "Absolutely, isn't this the trick of smoked snakes and voles?" Come, look at me. ”
As he spoke, he came over, took a sharp breath, and blew the smoke hard, blowing so hard that he almost ran out of oxygen in his brain, and he staggered and almost fell into the fire, and I couldn't help but scold my mother when I was angry.
Zhao Zitong pulled out a book, leaned over, and followed me to fan the cigarette.
However, the smoke went into the cave a lot, but nothing crept out of it.
I was not reconciled, and used a shovel to push the endless pieces of wood into the hole, and soon the hole was filled.
"Look for it, see where it's still smoking."
Under my reminder, everyone looked everywhere for smoke, but they couldn't find it at all.
Liu Fatzi said: "Fifth brother, either the exit is too far, and we won't be able to find it for a while, or the underground space is too big, and our cigarettes can't play any role at all." ”
His words flashed through my mind like electricity, and after squatting on the ground and rummaging in the mound for a while, I exclaimed, "Fuck, the grave is under our feet!" ”
