Chapter 112: Marking

Looking at the turquoise in my hand, I was a little confused, and I felt that this thing might not be as simple as it seemed.

I don't know why, but I always felt like it wasn't supposed to be an ordinary object. Turquoise was not a rare treasure in ancient times, at most it was a gemstone in the Western Regions. Its value in ancient times is certainly not comparable to that of modern times, so I think there must be some kind of meaning to this thing appearing on the bones.

If these coffins are used for experiments, or if this is no longer an experiment, but to let the people in the coffins come out as described in the mural, then how can the bones inside not even wear clothes, how can they casually put a turquoise in it, unless this turquoise is important to the owner of the bones, otherwise it is impossible to carry it with you.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this turquoise was not simple.

"Old prostitute, is there anything else in there?" I asked.

"I can't see clearly, the water is too dark." The old prostitute didn't even stretch out a hand and said, "Shovel the mountain to me, and I'll get some water out."

I took out the shovel and handed it to the old prostitute, but this guy didn't like it, so he rolled up his sleeves and began to pry water out.

The old prostitute took more than a minute before stopping, picked out a piece of cloth with a shovel, and said, "My god, why haven't I heard that the ancient people of the Western Regions still like to wear belly pockets."

"There are many things you haven't heard, maybe they are not the people of the Western Regions." I said as I looked at the pieces of cloth that the old prostitute had picked out.

The cloth picked out by the old prostitute was the same as the one found in the first coffin, both in the shape of a belly pocket, and this one was also green, but it was a little colored, probably contaminated by the black water of the corpse's corruption. There was nothing in the coffin except the bones and the white sand underneath.

San'er walked directly towards the fourth colored coffin, and asked us to close the lid of the third colored coffin.

I took a look with a flashlight, and the side of the fourth colored coffin was not wrapped, so it must have been an empty coffin.

Sure enough, it was an empty coffin, and after San'er opened it, I took a look, and it was the same as the situation in the first two colored coffins.

After San'er closed the fourth coffin, he stopped opening the unwrapped coffin.

We kept walking inside, looking for the colored coffin with the package. After walking through several empty coffins, I saw a wrapped one. San'er didn't hesitate at all, and opened the lid of the coffin directly, and the situation inside was the same as we expected, there were indeed bones, but they had been corrupted and soaked in black water.

"Hey, this one has turquoise too."

As soon as the old prostitute's voice fell, before he could make a move, San'er's hand reached directly into the black water and sandwiched out a crescent-shaped turquoise. San'er's movements were like lightning, and it only took half a second from making an outstretched hand to clamping out the turquoise.

"Show me the turquoise you took out earlier." San'er looked at the turquoise he had clipped, and reached out to me for another.

I put the turquoise in my hand in San'er's hand, and he put the two turquoises side by side in the palm of his hand. Sure enough, it was the same, both in size and shape, even the line holes of the two meniscus angles were the same.

"Oh my god, this fucking twins got out." The old prostitute was also surprised to see that the two turquoises were identical.

"We'll have to find a wrapped coffin." After San'er finished speaking, he walked inside again.

I know why San'er still wants to open the coffin, he wants to see if there are turquoise in the colored coffin with bones. It seems that I was right at first, that the turquoise on the bones is not that simple.

This time we walked a long way, and we walked through about twenty or thirty colored coffins before we saw one with a package.

After San'er opened the coffin, he took out a meniscus-shaped turquoise directly from it, which was exactly the same.

This time, San'er didn't go inside, but stood in place and looked at the turquoise in his hand. He looked at me for a while and suddenly asked, "Xiao Qi, have you seen this thing in Faqiumen?"

I didn't expect San'er to ask me a question suddenly, and I was immediately stunned by his question, and it took a second before I reacted and replied, "I haven't seen it."

"Does this turquoise have anything to do with the Faqiu Gate?" I asked rhetorically.

San'er didn't answer my question, but handed me the turquoise, saying that it was for me to look at it carefully and remember it.

I looked at it carefully, and it was so easy to remember, it had no features other than a meniscus and two line holes. When San'er saw that I remembered, he took the turquoise back, threw the three turquoises into the colored coffin with a wave of his hand, and then prepared to cover the coffin.

Seeing this, the old prostitute hurriedly shouted: "I'll go and build it, you study yours." As she spoke, the old prostitute had already run to the colored coffin, and one hand made a motion to push the lid of the coffin.

San'er saw that the old prostitute had gone, so he didn't go over. I asked San'er, "Do you think turquoise has any special meaning?"

"Yes mark"

"Are you saying that turquoise is the mark of this nation?"

"No, it's the mark worn by those who walk out of here."

Hearing San'er answer like this, I didn't react at the time, and I felt that what he said made sense. If turquoise is really used as a marker, then there must be one in every colored coffin, as for the empty coffin there are no bones and no turquoise, it is not difficult to understand that the person in the empty coffin went out, and naturally took the turquoise out of the body.

Thinking of this, my mind buzzed, and I immediately looked towards San'er. It occurred to me that he had asked me a question earlier, and he asked me if I had ever seen this kind of turquoise in Faqiumen.

What is this concept? Could it be that the people who went out from here entered the Fa Qiu Gate?

For a moment, my mind became confused, this is definitely a piece of information that can break me, but fortunately, this is only a problem for San'er, not an ironclad fact. If this is true, I believe I will not be able to accept it. Who would want to deal with someone who walks out of a coffin, I'm sure no one would choose to be willing.

"San'er, you have to make it clear to me why you just asked me if I had seen the turquoise here in Faqiu Gate." I have to ask about it, or I'll always have it in my mind when I get back to Fa Qiumen.

"It's nothing, don't think about it, I'll just ask casually."

Although San'er said that he was just asking casually, I don't think he was telling me the truth. He either knew something, or he was guessing something. I think whether he really knows or is guessing, in short, this matter must have something to do with Fa Qiumen, otherwise with his character, there is no such thing as asking casually.

"I don't think you're being honest with me." I said.

"yes, that's just what you think, what you think is right isn't necessarily right." San'er sneered, raised his hand and pointed to the mural on the stone wall and said, "Just like the mural you saw at the beginning, you have seen it with your own eyes, but you can't guarantee that what you see is real."

I was speechless by San'er, he was right, from the first time I saw the mural, I didn't think everything described on the mural was true.

"Oh my god, are you two interesting? This is not a spy war movie, but also a trick. If you think this is done, shouldn't we go? There are still more than a dozen people waiting for us to save them. The old prostitute came over after covering the coffin.
