Volume 3 Tomb of the Night King Chapter 117 Bronze Hexagonal Box
At this time, no one mentioned resting, and after priing open the coffin lid, everyone threw down their tools, and all of them swarmed to the high platform and gathered to the side of the coffin.
I looked down into the coffin, and the huge coffin seemed to be filled with something, the layer of green fabric almost level with the edge of the coffin mouth.
The fabric, which is somewhat distorted, completely covers the coffin, without revealing anything underneath, which is very different from the funeral ceremonies we have seen or understood. Because whether it is a folk or some princes and generals in ancient times, although some of their burial ceremonies will also be covered with a layer of coverings, there are generally few hijabs.
Of course, according to regional customs and national rituals, these will be very different. So when we saw the Night King's funeral ceremony, we were just amazed and didn't make a fuss.
"Shall we do some protection before we open this fabric?" When archaeologist Zhao Zhifeng saw the coffin, he was first excited, and then calmly put forward a very professional suggestion. Of course, I'm in charge here, and his suggestion has become an inquiry.
"There's no time, I'm still a ghost. If you're worried, you stay and protect slowly, we'll take the stuff and go first! I coldly dropped a sentence, and then glanced at Boss Taiyi, and the two immediately separated on the top of the coffin and stood at the front of the coffin.
Without waiting for Zhao Zhifeng to talk nonsense, Boss Taiyi and I grabbed the fabric, and then walked back together and lifted the quilt.
Against all odds! When we lifted this layer of covering, we didn't see the remains of the Night King! Underneath this, there is even a layer of pale red quilt!
We all froze for a while, and then we heard Zhou Jun say: "We have a lot of customs in this area, and they are different. There is a custom that the deceased's relatives cover the quilt, the more relatives there are, the more quilts will be covered on the body, and correspondingly, the more flags will be raised at the funeral. A banner is a quilt, and it also shows the degree of respect of the deceased. The Night King is supposed to be this custom...... But he's a king, so he shouldn't have too much ...... cover."
"Kujo!" As soon as Zhou Jun finished speaking, Zhao Zhifeng answered.
"He is the king, according to custom, cover nine dead quilts, raise nine dead flags......"
I glanced at Boss Taiyi, a little inexplicable. What are you talking about now? Do you do folklore research? How many do I care about him, and don't I just open them one by one?
Shaking my head slightly, I made a look, cooperated with Boss Taiyi again, and lifted the red quilt as well. Sure enough, there's another purple one down there!
Zhao Zhifeng is right, it is indeed nine! After we lifted eight in a row, the full coffin collapsed deeply, and finally this one had been infected by the corpse water and turned a brown yellow color, revealing a humanoid bulge.
At this time, on the high platform, the smell of corruption was very strong, and it smelled very disgusting. But this is a critical time, and no one has the idea of leaving here to breathe.
A generation of Night Kings designed this great array against the sky, the three doubtful graves, and harmed countless people in future generations, making us dizzy, and the peerless genius who worked so hard is about to appear again!
When we lift this last layer of the quilt, we are cautious, because the last layer is infected by corpse water, which means that the quilt has been completely adhered to the bones. If we don't get it right, it's very likely that we'll directly damage the Night King's bones.
In a burial like this, we can imagine what the bones of the Night King look like. But when it was actually opened, we were still surprised. The Night King has changed beyond recognition, and although there are not only yellowed bones left, the mutilated, decomposed corpse is still a pity.
A heavy stench of corpses filled the entire burial chamber, and because of the cover, the bones of the Night King were not completely corrupted. But this level is really unbelievable. The Night King, there are so many dregs left!
"What did the Night King ask us to do us a favor? How come there is nothing? Boss Taiyi couldn't help but ask after taking a closer look at the remains of the Night King.
In fact, I was also confused, and when I lifted this last layer of the quilt, although I saw the unbelievable remains of the Night King, he was recorded in the Six Desires Extreme Yin and Yang, why didn't we see what we could help? Why don't we have the key thing to open the mysterious female tomb?
"Could it be in the palm of your hand?" Zhou Jun pointed to the Night King's two withered arms clenched into fists and said.
"Open it and take a look!" Boss Taiyi glanced at it, and then directly stretched out the sapper shovel, which turned out to be to cut those two hands.
"What? Is it okay to respect the dead? Yu Qian glared at Boss Taiyi, and reached out and grabbed his shovel directly.
Subsequently, this job was taken over by Yu Qian, she didn't know where to get a pair of gloves, and after putting them on, she directly reached out to break the palm of the Night King. Looking at the rough appearance of her directly starting to break her fingers, I didn't see her respect for the deceased at all.
The Night King really died very simply, and after Yu Qian broke his hands, he didn't even find anything. According to custom, he should be buried with something in both hands, but he actually abandoned this custom.
"How is this going to be done? Could it be that the Night King's body is the mysterious object? Yu Qian was annoyed, holding the sarcophagus with both hands, feeling angry.
"It's impossible, who would use their own corpse as a key? Do you think that tomb is a fingerprint lock? Boss Taiyi was also a little discouraged, and at this time he had already walked to the high platform and sat down against the stone pillar.
"Not necessarily, since the Night King values that mysterious woman so much, it is very likely that what he wants us to help is to move his body over and reunite them." Zhou Jun had been silent, but at this time, he continued the words of Boss Taiyi.
Boss Taiyi paused for a moment, looked at Zhou Jun blankly, his eyes were full of obsession, and he didn't mean to continue to refute at all, it seemed that Zhou Jun had the final say.
Seeing them like this, I sighed and shook my head, feeling very uncomfortable.
However, what Zhou Jun said does have some truth. The Night King had always felt indebted to the girl, that he had sacrificed her to fulfill himself, and that he himself did not want it. After he died, he really should have thought about being buried with that girl.
"No, the Night King would never have such an idea!" At this time, Yu Qian suddenly spoke, and rejected Zhou Jun's statement in one bite, saying it was very absolute and could not be refuted.
We all looked at her strangely, and Yu Qian also explained: "The Night King is ashamed of that girl, so he will feel even more unworthy of being with that girl." He thought he was dirty and couldn't defile the girl. So when he was dying, he didn't dare to put that mysterious thing in the girl's tomb, so he didn't even dare to put it in the girl's tomb, let alone talk about a joint burial. ”
After hearing what Yu Qian said, the three of us did not have the slightest suspicion, and all fell silent. On this, Yu Qian's right to speak is absolute, and only she understands the Night King's hidden last words.
"What do you say...... What is it? Zhao Zhifeng and Han Chang, who had been listening to us quietly and had never interjected, finally couldn't help it at this time and asked in great confusion.
I glanced at her and didn't reply, Yu Qian sighed and didn't pay attention. Boss Taiyi, who was sitting there, opened his mouth and told them little by little, telling them all about the mysterious female tomb we encountered in the Six Desires Pole Yin and Yang, as well as the mysterious murals found by Yu Qian.
It's a trust in the two guys, otherwise it wouldn't have been told to them. The two of them listened, and the expressions on their faces gradually became more and more rigorous, and they seemed to be completely attracted.
After a long time, Zhao Zhifeng sighed: "I followed Professor Han and them to archaeology, traveled all over the country, and excavated countless ancient tombs, but I have never encountered such a strange tomb, nor have I found such a touching past." I kind of know why Yu Qian is willing to leave the archaeological team and join you, what you can find are earth-shattering wonders, strange burials, much more interesting than our old-fashioned excavations......"
I don't know what the hell Zhao Zhifeng suddenly sighed, but after he finished speaking, Yu Qian's big eyes sparkled at me, which made me feel excited.
"What's the use of talking about this now? Let's think about what to do next! The situation is a little different from the Night King's last words. I quickly moved my steps, avoiding Yu Qian's gaze, and then shouted at the three people who were talking under the high platform.
"You've been staring at the Night King's body, have you been looking for him underneath? I saw that there was a thick layer under him, as if something was hidden. Especially the part of his chest, don't you feel a little bulging? ”
This was said by Han Chang, and as she spoke, she walked towards the high platform, and then pointed to the position on the chest of the Night King's remains.
Listening to her, I also seemed to feel that the position was bulging, a little higher than the other parts, as if there was something stuffed in the part under him.
"Let's lift him up!" I beckoned and called Boss Taiyi up.
Then the four of them worked together to carefully hold up the broken remains of the Night King. We didn't dare to put it indiscriminately, let alone move it vigorously, for fear of damaging the remains.
And while we were lifting the remains, Han Chang and Zhou Jun hurriedly searched in the coffin. Underneath the Night King are several layers of mats. If it is buried according to the system, it will not be a mat underneath, but a rich layer of treasure burial goods.
There was nothing on the mat, but without the remains of the Night King, we did see that on the mat, the position of the chest was a raised piece. Zhou Jun hurriedly lifted the thin layer of cushion on his face, and suddenly, a bronze carved and engraved antique strange metal hexagonal box was revealed in that position.
"Really!" Zhou Jun exclaimed in surprise, stretched out his hand and took out the six-sided metal box.
This hexagonal metal box is made of bronze, probably because it has been hidden under the corpse for a long time, its surface has some corpse water and some brown rust spots. But this bronze hexagonal box, which is only more than 20 centimeters in size, is extremely exquisite, which makes people feel incredible when they look at it.
Can this ancient metal carver reach such a level? Modern laser engraving machines are nothing more than that, right?
"Let's see if there's anything else!" I didn't look at the hexagonal box too closely, but shouted at Han Chang.
Han Chang hurriedly flipped over the remaining layers of mats, but it seemed that there was nothing else hidden underneath. This hexagonal box is the only burial item, this should be the mysterious object in the Night King's last words, and it is also the key to open the mysterious woman's tomb, and it is also the item we want to return to the mysterious woman.
