Chapter 24: The Golden Silk Coffin
The female corpse in the air, with shriveled flesh and skin, was tightly attached to the skeleton, face down, extremely hideous, and her hair was scattered over the cheeks on both sides, directly vertically, but it was not messy, as if it had just been combed. My eyes were so sunken that I could only see the outline of my eyes, staring at me deadly. A big mouth is always open, as if it wants to eat someone. With his arms and legs spread, he looked like he was about to swoop down, and his two hands were in a posture of nine yin white bone claws, as if he was going to grab something, and it looked like he was going to swoop down and grab people and eat, just looking at it made people feel creepy and shudder.
Instinctively, I squatted to the side, put my head in my hands, and looked around, only to see that they were just like me, panicked and confused. Ma Tianming, who was next to me, trembled all over, and even I could feel the tremor of trembling.
If it was before, I would have run out of the city screaming, but now I won't, I've been tortured by these emergencies. Although I was panicked, my heart was much calmer, and the fear of the moment could no longer scare me.
Although I still had some fear, I decided to look up. I raised my head slightly and glanced at the corpse, the female corpse was still on it, posing like she was going to come down at any time, my eyes happened to be aimed at the eye sockets with no beads, my heart was shocked, and cold sweat began to break out on my face.
In an instant, I lowered my head again, and I no longer dared to look up, afraid that she would fly down and catch me. But when I looked down at the ground, I could still see the hideous face of the female corpse, and I didn't know who was in a panic and dropped the searchlight near the coffin.
The damn searchlight illuminates the ground so clearly that it looks like a female corpse is underfoot. I really had nowhere to hide, when someone in the tomb shouted a few words.
"Damn, get up, this female corpse is tied here, not flying." The senior brother shouted over there, and I looked at the cat's waist, and sure enough, the senior brother stood up and looked at the top of the road.
Hearing this, my heart was much happier, and I slowly stood up, and I didn't dare to look up. I didn't dare to look at it until everyone was there talking about how it was tied up. Looking closely, the female corpse was indeed tied by thin lines.
If you don't look closely, you can't really see it, very small lines, tied around the female corpse. Tianxiang said on the side: "This tomb owner, built to prevent tomb robbery, is trying to scare us away. ”
I looked up and replied, "If we put clothes on the female corpse, we won't find it." ”
Just when everyone's attention was on the female corpse, they heard An Tong shouting on the side: "Master, Seventh Uncle, we can send it this time." ”
I turned my head to see that An Tong was shining on the coffin, and the coffin shining by the searchlight was shining. The senior brother walked to the coffin in a few steps, looked at the coffin in front of him, with a slight smile on his face, and said: "This is indeed the main tomb, what kind of material do you look at the coffin." ”
I stepped forward to take a look, it was the golden silk nanmu, and when I shouted out the golden silk nanmu, I was stunned when I saw Tianxiang's expression. An Tong was on the side, and he went crazy with joy.
"What are you happy about? Take out this thing, you dare to sell it? After that, can we just take a few of us? The senior brother looked at An Tong and asked several questions, which extinguished An Tong's happy mood.
I didn't pay attention to what they were saying, I was deeply attracted by the coffin, looked carefully at the coffin in front of me, and had already forgotten all about the female corpse on my head.
I really don't dare to imagine what kind of characters are loaded inside, just look at this coffin, just know that Lu Dao is not an ordinary person, since ancient times, the golden silk nanmu is the wood used by the royal family, the ancient emperor dragon chair throne should be made of high-quality nanmu, if someone uses it without authorization, it will be convicted of exceeding the etiquette system, and the heavier one will be beheaded. It is said that the wood is mild, warm in winter and cool in summer, with a fresh and pleasant aroma, and its value is comparable to gold. Now it is also a national key protected species, and if it is stolen and cut down without permission, criminal responsibility will be investigated.
Looking at the naturally formed patterns on the golden silk nanmu, it is like a beautiful cloud, like a turbulent wave, comparable to the legendary Haishi Tower, full of charm. The textured and natural and vivid waves of the best waves, as well as the lifelike blisters, are truly a beautiful sight.
Tianxiang squatted on the ground, carefully admired, admired this natural and vivid spectacle, touched me with his hand and asked, "Do you see anything?" ”
"I can see it, it's not an ordinary person, this golden silk nanmu that can only be used by the royal family is made into a coffin, it's really luxurious." I replied intoxicated.
"You still don't see it." Tianxiang said in a contemptuous tone on the side.
"This is the gloomy wood of Jin Si Nan, after hundreds of years of carbonization, look at the size of this coffin, this Jin Si Nan has at least a thousand years of growth history, and then it has been carbonized for hundreds of years before it was used by the tomb owner." The senior brother said in an orderly manner on the side. Pointing to the coffin lid and then said: "Just take out this coffin lid, it can be called a rare treasure, the ancients said: even if there is a box of jewelry, it is not as good as the ebony side." It's the gloomy wood of this golden silk nanmu. ”
An Tong was dumbfounded when he listened to it, and hurriedly said: "Then what are you waiting for, open it and see that there must be more valuable goods in it than this." ”
Tianxiang hurriedly said: "No one should touch the coffin, there is a problem with this coffin." ”
"What's the problem?" I asked Tianxiang on the side suspiciously.
"Look at this coffin, the lid is not one, it seems to be folded in half."
I carefully looked around the coffin lid, how to see how it is one, not at all like Tianxiang said, if it is folded in half, there will be a gap in the middle, but there is no gap on the coffin, and it looks smooth and flat.
"You can't be mistaken, how can such a flat coffin lid be opened, you treat it as a cabinet door."
Tianxiang didn't speak, just raised his hand and pointed to the middle of the section in front of the coffin lid. I walked over and looked at his hand, and in the middle, there was a small filament of the same color as the golden silk nanmu. There are three small filaments in the head, which is very short, and you can't find it if you don't look closely.
"What is this?" I looked at the little filament and asked Tianxiang on the side.
"This is used when the coffin lid is covered when it is buried, but it is not cut in place, so the thread is left out."
"Then can we use this thread to open the lid of the coffin?" An Tong asked eagerly on the side.
"No, this coffin lid can't be opened easily outside, unless you understand the principle of the mechanism, you have to dismantle the coffin." Tianxiang replied in a low voice.
"You mean that the lid of this coffin must be inside before it can be opened?" An Tong was very puzzled by what Tianxiang said.
Tianxiang nodded and walked to the back of the coffin. At this time, the senior brother watched blankly in front of the coffin, and did not express his opinion. And I was also confused by what Tianxiang said, according to what he said, isn't it a cabinet door with an inner door? Who would design the coffin like this, unless the lord lying inside still wants to come out, and there is a chill when he thinks of this.
"You all get out of the way, I'll open the coffin." The elder brother standing in front of the coffin finally spoke.
