Chapter 38: The Coffin
Finding that the previous method of opening the coffin did not work, the bald head and I focused our attention on the coffin, and we did not expect that there would be a sound in the coffin, and it was this kind of terrifying sound that made my scalp tingle. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The moment that voice sounded, the bald head pulled me to subconsciously take a big step back, and then picked up the ordnance shovel in his hand with a vigilant face: "! What's the situation, did you scratch the coffin just now!? ”
The old bone listened with a blank face: "What are I doing scratching the coffin when I'm idle, did you hear it wrong?" ”
As soon as the words fell, the sharp sound of 'stabbing and stinging' came out of the coffin again. This time, because the crowd around was much quieter, the sound was clearer and everyone present could hear it clearly.
I didn't know what was in the coffin or why it made such a creepy sound, but I suddenly became very flustered, as if something bad was about to happen.
Just when I wanted to discuss with the bald head, but I really couldn't give up opening the coffin, Ouyang Feizhu preemptively spoke to stop it: "Several, I know that the nature of your work is like this, but now we are mud bodhisattvas crossing the river and it is difficult to protect ourselves, and how to get out of here is the key." In my opinion, this coffin should not be touched, so as not to cause any unnecessary trouble. ”
Jackie Chan stood aside and stared at the bald head and said angrily: "Don't pretend to be an expert if you don't have real technology, otherwise we will have to solve something wrong!" ”
Listening to the abnormal sound in the coffin, the bald head had no intention of opening the coffin, not wanting to cause unnecessary trouble. But hearing Jackie Chan's ridiculous yin and yang ridicule, his stubbornness also came out instantly, and he spit in the palm of his hand: "Lao Tzu has been a captain for more than ten years, and he has entered several times more buckets than you have heard of, what kind of coffin has not been seen, what kind of thing has not been encountered." Today, this foreign coffin is still open, and those who are afraid of death should quickly admit it, and it is still too late to hide away. ”
Saying this, the bald eyes kept staring at Jackie Chan, obviously provocative.
Jackie Chan was naturally not to be outdone, not only did he not retreat, but took a few steps forward, his face was covered with meat.
I was secretly worried in my heart next to me, so I came close and gritted my teeth and scolded: "Dead bald, what kind of wind are you smoking at this time, in case there is really a big Egyptian rice dumpling in the coffin, we all have to go around without eating!" ”
The bald head also replied softly: "Go around, go around, we can't lose in momentum!" Anyway, they didn't run as fast as us, and if there was really a big zongzi in a while, who would walk around it wouldn't be necessarily! ”
When he spoke, although Ouyang Feizhu did not express his opinion, he had already begun to lead Ouyang Mu back for a distance, ready to retreat at any time in case of danger.
Since the words were said happily, there was no way to rub under his hands, and the bald head immediately pulled out the military dagger from his waist, and scraped the sealing protective layer between the coffin lid and the coffin body with the blade little by little.
Because corpses decay in the air due to oxidation reactions, most coffins are tightly sealed to block air circulation to ensure the integrity of the corpse. The substance used to seal the gaps, wax is generally used in China, while in foreign countries it is always an oily substance similar to resin. These things have the same characteristics and the same weaknesses, and although they are rock-solid when cooled, they melt and soften when heated slightly.
At this moment, the gap around the coffin of the dog head was filled with that oily substance, and the bald head tested it a few times with the tip of the knife, and found that the puncture was impenetrable, so he took out a lighter and heated it with a flame.
However, he forgot about the flammable nature of oily substances, and less than five seconds after heating it, a fiery snake swam along the cracks in the coffin, instantly piercing the surroundings. The huge coffin was immediately plunged into a sea of fire, and a disgusting fishy smell spread along with the flames.
Because of the limited amount of oily substances, the fire did not last long, and in less than three minutes it weakened, leaving only a few sporadic fire spots. At the same time, the gap under the lid of the coffin was revealed, and the fire burned around the wooden coffin for more than three minutes, and we were all amazed that nothing happened to the coffin, not even the color of the coffin.
Extinguishing the remaining sparks, the bald head beckoned me to insert the sapper shovel into the position of the front of the coffin lid, and the two of them slowly exerted force one left and one right, and with the creaking sound, the coffin lid carved with the relief of the dog's head was gradually pried up.
At the moment when the coffin lid was separated from the coffin, a light cyan mist erupted from the coffin, and although I and the bald head had already found it, we couldn't jump away at the first time because we were still holding a sapper shovel in our hands. The two of them watched as the mist sprayed on their bodies, and then dispersed in all directions.
I don't know what this pale cyan mist is, and I don't know if it's poisonous, but at this moment there is only one feeling in my head, and that is smelly! It stinks!
The smell of the mist is not the smell of feces, nor the smell of stinky tofu, but another strange smell. The smell was so lawless that I just took a puff and smoked it so much that my whole head was buzzing, and my bald head coughed and retched a few times, waved my hand, and finally couldn't speak.
Smelling the unbearable stench, we subconsciously let go of the sapper shovel in our hands, staggered out a dozen steps, and then opened our mouths wide to breathe in the clean air around us.
At the moment when the lid of the coffin was opened, the anxious bald head leaned his head to the side of the gap to check, and his face was sprayed with mist, so the situation was worse than mine, and he fell to his knees and vomited after running out of a dozen steps.
Most of what he vomited was the sour water in his stomach and the bread he had eaten not long before, and he vomited until his face was pale, and then he turned over and sat on the side panting: "his uncle, what kind of smell is this, the bald man has lived for more than 30 years, and he has swam in the big dung pit, and he has never been smoked to this extent and almost vomited out all his internal organs......"
I coughed a few times and barely smiled: "I didn't see that the bald man has such a rich life experience, you have to tell me about what it is like to swim in a big dung pit when you have time." ”
As he was talking, Leng Qi came over with two bottles of mineral water, looked at us and asked softly, "How are you doing, are you okay?" ”
The bald head took the mineral water and rinsed his mouth: "Thanks to the care of the cold woman, these fogs should not be poisonous, they just stink." Now I'm in no mood to open the coffin anymore, the ancient Egyptians are really awesome, this kind of anti-theft means can be thought of, it's really amazing! ”
Seeing the pale cyan weapons sprayed out of the coffin, Ouyang Feizhu and the others ran fast, and more than a dozen people instantly retreated to the periphery of the stone room, squinting at us, and even Jackie Chan, who was vigorous just now, avoided it from afar, lest there was something wrong with those gases.
Sitting in the distance and waiting for more than ten minutes, I don't know if it was numb from the smoke, or if the stench had faded, and the smell we smelled was no longer so unbearable. The bald head took off his coat, said good things with a hippie smile for a long time, borrowed Leng Qi's flower water and sprayed it a few times, and then covered his nose around his face and returned to the coffin.
