Chapter 25: Opening the coffin
When the elder brother had finished speaking, they all retreated to the wall, leaving me alone with a searchlight to help illuminate it. I saw the elder brother pressing the corner of the coffin lid with his left hand, touching the thread with his right hand, and pulling one of the threads very quickly.
In the middle of the coffin lid, a finger-wide slit appeared. The elder brother raised his right hand and touched it along the gap, his fingers moving through the gap. Suddenly, when I stopped, I heard a snap, and the coffin lid bounced open from the middle to both sides, it was really a double-door door, and there were two copper locks on the inside of the coffin lid, fortunately it was not locked, otherwise it would be difficult to open. Looking at the senior brother holding a golden bolt in his hand, I don't know if the road is pure gold or gilded, and the weight should not be light.
I just wanted to ask the senior brother how he knew about this mechanism, and I heard a scream from behind me, ah, ah, ah, ah, I was engrossed in watching the senior brother open the coffin, but I was frightened by this scream, and I wanted to look back, but I saw the senior brother beside me, looking at me with a very strange expression, and almost fell to the ground, and hurriedly took two steps back, as if I was scared. I looked at the expression of the senior brother and had a premonition that it was not good, could this scream have something to do with me.
Suddenly, I felt a little heavy in my shoulders, as if something was pressing on me. I thought to myself: It can't be something on me, the more I think about it, the more scared I become, and I don't dare to move. I could only squint with my eyes, and this look almost didn't scare me, I didn't even have the courage to scream, and I even felt that my face was all distorted, and all the muscles in my body were tangled together and stiffened.
I saw a small, withered heel on the left shoulder, standing as if it were standing, the heel was tightly wrapped in folded skin, and in some places I could see through the folded skin the pale ankle bone. I could also feel the pressure on my right shoulder, but I didn't dare to look at my right shoulder anymore, and slowly closed my eyes, relying only on my sense of hearing to judge what was going on, and I didn't even dare to imagine what was standing on me.
Now I really want to faint, maybe I don't want to think about what happened anymore, and I don't need to know what the consequences are, but when I want to faint, I can't faint.
There was a sound of footsteps coming from behind, and I squinted my eyes slightly, glancing at the senior brother who was also groping for me. I thought to myself: they must come to save me, I must be ready to run at all times, as soon as I fight, I must rush out of the city.
The footsteps behind me were getting faster and faster, and I saw that Tianxiang quickly came to me, looked at me and said, "Don't move, that female corpse has taken a fancy to you, I have to find a way to help you get it down." ”
The senior brother also walked up to him and said, "Xiao Qi, it's okay, it's the female corpse that fell." But don't let us move, let's check first, there are too many threads. ”
I suddenly realized that just thinking about Jin Sinan's coffin, I had long forgotten the female corpse on top of my head, but now that I know the Tao, my heart has settled down. "What else are you looking at, isn't it over when you take it down?" I said anxiously.
"No, there are a lot of silk threads on this woman's corpse connected to the wall, I don't know if the road will trigger any mechanism." Tianxiang looked at it carefully and said.
"Then hurry up, I won't last long." I seemed a little irritable.
Tianxiang slowly took away the silk thread next to me, and naturally said to himself: "This silk thread is so strange, it is as thin as hair, and it is still so strong, what material is it made of?" ”
Tianxiang finished sorting out the silk thread, and the senior brother took the female corpse off my shoulder, I looked back at the female corpse on the ground, and laughed, this female corpse was put on the ground not only is not so terrible, but this posture with arms and legs open, as if telling the whole world, come on, my sister can bear it, a lack of fear.
I took a closer look at the body of the female corpse, and there were many silk threads entwined around it, densely and disorderly, some of which led to the top of the head and the walls on both sides, and some of the silk threads on the legs that led to the coffin. Looking at these silk threads made me understand why it would fall off, it seemed that when the elder brother opened the coffin, he touched the silk threads of his thighs, so it fell down with both legs, and I was standing in this position, and its feet were just stepping on my shoulders. Thinking of this, I suddenly found that I was really good enough to memorize, and such a coincidence allowed me to catch up.
After solving it, everyone ran to look at the coffin, and An Tong and the others also walked over to look at the coffin inside. When the searchlight shone into the coffin, everyone was looking forward, only I took a few steps back, and what appeared inside was the same as the jade sarcophagus that encountered a bloody corpse outside.
The senior brother looked back at me and before he could speak, his face turned pale, and he should have been frightened by my current facial expression. "Xiao Qi, what's wrong with you, is there a problem?" Senior Brother asked me anxiously.
"Then, there, the pretending should be movable." I trembled and pointed to the jade sarcophagus and said.
At this time, everyone except Tianxiang was stunned by my words, and An Tong and Ma Tianming immediately took a few steps back. "Uncle Seven, don't bring such a scary thing, how do you know Lu Dao?" An Tong asked with a little panic.
"Tianxiang and I met outside, the same jade sarcophagus, and I had a fight with the guy who could move, and I almost didn't get killed by that guy."
Everyone's eyes were on Tianxiang, who nodded, indicating that I was telling the truth.
"What then? , Otherwise, we will remove the coffin lid of this golden silk nanmu and take it away. An Tong is still thinking about getting the lid out of the coffin.
Everyone retreated to the side, only the senior brother was still standing next to the coffin, looking at where the jade sarcophagus was, shaking his head constantly, and said, "How is it possible?" Unless it's already out there. ”
Listening to the implication of the senior brother's words, it was like the jade sarcophagus was empty, Tianxiang walked forward quickly, and also stood at the jade sarcophagus and shook his head. "What's the matter, you've taken ecstasy, just tell me if you have anything." I couldn't help asking.
"You'd better come and see for yourself." Tianxiang said while beckoning.
I stepped forward to take a look, and sure enough, the transparency of this jade sarcophagus was hundreds of times better than that of those two. There was no body inside, but there was a box, and through the lid of the jade coffin, it could be clearly seen that this was a wooden octagonal exquisite box.
Everyone was stunned and stunned, and they all wondered that there was no burial in the coffin of Jin Sinan, which was used for royal talents, but only a wooden box. Looking at the position of the octagonal exquisite box, there is no room for bloodletting corpses inside, so the possibility of bloody corpses coming out is almost zero.
"Could it be that the owner of this tomb is also a proletarian revolutionary, who actively responded to the call of the state and cremated himself and put it in an urn." An Tong muttered to himself on the side.
"You have seen the tomb of that proletarian revolutionary so big, the outside is all golden silk nanmu, and the box inside should also be a good thing." Ma Tianming continued An Tong's words.
I glanced at Senior Brother and Tianxiang, and they also looked at me, and it seemed that we coincided. I asked An Tong to get the wooden stick that hit me just now, and was about to pry the lid of the jade sarcophagus open, and Senior Brother and Tianxiang carefully checked the jade sarcophagus again, but did not find any mechanism.
An Tong brought the wooden stick and handed it to me, and seeing that none of them reported their bravery, they had to do it themselves. Insert the wooden stick into the gap between the coffin and the jade sarcophagus, and with the fulcrum of the coffin, start to pry the jade sarcophagus lid up. There was a fulcrum that made me a lot easier, and without much effort, I pried the jade sarcophagus lid aside.
After watching the lid of the jade sarcophagus being opened by me, I felt a small sense of joy in my heart, and I went directly to look inside. In an instant, a puff of white smoke poured out from the jade sarcophagus and came out. I wanted to dodge, but I was still anxious about the future, but fortunately, the white smoke did not smell, and I didn't feel any discomfort. Seeing that there was no big problem, he was about to get the wooden octagonal exquisite box inside, and as soon as his hand reached into the jade sarcophagus, he heard An Tong shouting on the side: "Uncle Seven, run, there are bloody corpses." ”
Looking at the sound, An Tong was lying on the ground, and the others were nowhere to be found. Looking around again, I don't know when so many bloody corpses appeared. All of them were extremely ugly, covered in blood, with hideous faces, all of their facial features were crooked, and their entire heads were twisted into a winter melon shape of uneven thickness. The eyes are particularly prominent, as if they have been squeezed by something, and the eyeballs have protruded beyond the eye sockets and are about to fall off. In the ear holes of the two ears, there are many bloody maggots, which keep crawling out, a big mouth is always open, and a lot of sticky substances flow out of the mouth, a fishy smell, which makes people sick. The two bloody hands had long exposed nails, which looked extremely sharp, and I could even see that there was still a residual flesh foam in the nails of the bloody hands, which were dripping and dripping into the ground.
There was a bloody corpse, still scratching the maggots that crawled out of his ears and putting them in his mouth, this big mouth was constantly chewing on the maggots in his mouth, and the corners of his mouth were splashed with the foam of maggots. Seeing this, I even wanted to vomit my stomach out, and I never wanted to eat anything again.
The farthest bloody corpse still held half an arm in his hand, and he was still putting it in his mouth, and the big mouth was bleeding down the corner of his mouth as it bit down the flesh of his arm, and it made a creaking, creaking sound.
I recognized the arm at a glance, and the clothes on the arm belonged to Tianxiang. Could it be that he was eaten, even Tianxiang was eaten, so can I still be okay? My whole body began to go numb and shaking.
One of the bloody corpses stepped across An Tong's arm and came towards me, instinctively stepped back a few times, picked up the wooden stick with both hands, and the bloody corpse was still approaching, without the slightest intention of stopping.
Immediately after that, another bloody corpse also came towards me, I took a few steps back in a row, and was forced to the wall, I had no way to retreat, thinking of being torn apart and eaten alive by the bloody corpse, I had the idea of suicide, even if I died, I don't want to be eaten alive by these bloody corpses.
