Chapter 51: The Mystery of the Glass Coffin 1
When I opened my eyes again, I found myself still in the palace-like main burial chamber, but I had somehow crossed the pond and was now lying on the stone steps under the high platform, with Zheng Tian and Wei Yin standing by my side.
I'm completely confused, haven't I just fallen into the sting water and died?
And the scene that happened in the Republic of China just experienced, it is too real, I can see every detail clearly, touch every texture, is that also a dream?
Take 10,000 steps back, even if it was still a dream just now, according to the plot development in the dream, I did appear in a ruin-like palace after being hit by a grenade...... So now, is it a dream or a reality?
I patted my head and struggled to get up, Wei Yin held me down and said that I had an injury on my leg and couldn't move much, Zheng Tian saw that I was awake, and shouted towards the high platform with great joy, I looked up and found that Uncle Dao and Brother Qi were trying to pry the giant glass coffin on it, and they immediately stopped what they were doing and ran to me to check my situation after hearing Zheng Tian's shout.
Looks like I'm still alive.
After some inquiry, it turned out that Uncle Dao personally jumped on the figurine, and when I was delirious and about to fall, he pulled me back. I have been in a coma since I went ashore, Wei Yin and Zheng Tian did a simple disinfection and bandaging for me, Uncle Dao and the seventh brother saw that I couldn't wake up for a while, so they climbed up to the high platform first and began to open the coffin.
"How long have I been unconscious?" I asked.
"Nearly twenty minutes." Wei Yin replied.
"When you're unconscious, you're still babbling something in your sleep." Zheng Tian added.
"Dream talk? Did you hear what I said? I wondered.
Zheng Tian shrugged his shoulders: "The voice is too small, we can't hear it clearly." ”
I secretly thought in my heart that the dream words I said when I was in a coma should be by the Qinhuai River in the dream, with the woman in the cheongsam, under normal circumstances, the people I met in the dream, the words said, after waking up, are relatively vague, like my same dream, the first two times are only fragments that I can remember, but just now it is extremely clear, making me feel like it really happened.
"Although you are not alone, there is not much time for you." What exactly did that woman's words mean?
"Okay, since it's okay, you can lie down here first, and your seventh brother and I will continue to go up and open the coffin." Uncle Dao said to me.
"Yes, Chengzai, that coffin is so difficult to open, we have been busy for a long time before we have a little improvement." The seventh brother should also be peaceful.
I shook my head and said, "No, I'm all right now, I'm still lying here like something, I'm going to go up with you and see with my own eyes what is in this coffin." ”
"Your legs and waist are full of scars corroded by the strong acid of those ghost stings, and you can't move at all, so let's rest for a while." Wei Yin pointed to the bandages on my body and said.
Zheng Tian also disagreed: "You kid is almost half a mummy, what kind of fun are you going up to make a scene, thirty steps unless someone carries you, otherwise ......"
When Zheng Tian said this, I suddenly interrupted him, put on a pitiful begging look and said, "Yes, if someone carries me, I won't have to?" Why don't you carry me on my back, brother? I really want to see it. ”
Zheng Tian immediately pretended to be posturing when he heard this: "Chengzi, it's not a brother, I don't want to carry you, it's just that if you look at my injury, I can basically be regarded as a person who can get a second-level disability certificate." ”
I was a little frustrated, although it is not ruled out that he is lazy and troublesome, but it is indeed a bit difficult for him to carry me, at this time, the seventh brother on the side patted my shoulder and said generously: "Chengzai, I will carry you, let you also go up to open your eyes." ”
I looked at Brother Seven gratefully and said, "Brother Seven treats me well, it's like a living Lei Feng in the world!" ”
Uncle Dao glanced at me and said angrily: "I shouldn't have agreed to you coming down in the first place, it's a complete burden." Then he walked up to the high platform first.
"Don't take it to heart, your Uncle Dao is like this, knife mouth, tofu heart." Seventh Brother said with a smile.
I felt very embarrassed, thinking that I was really troublesome, just now that everyone in the sting pool passed safely, but when it came to me, it went wrong, proving that if I was not too incompetent, I was too dead.
With the help of Zheng Tian and Wei Yin, I struggled to climb up the broad back of the seventh brother. Brother Qi's physique is really good, not to mention that he has injuries on his body, but now he is carrying a person on his back, and his pace is still steady. We walked up the white marble steps step by step, and finally came to the top of the high platform.
Brother Qi put me down, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and then picked up the crowbar and Uncle Dao continued to open the coffin, I limped around the glass coffin in front of me, and couldn't help but admire the superb skills of the craftsmen in ancient times.
The whole glazed coffin is royal blue, with a crystal clear appearance and a round luster. The inside of the glazed coffin is a carved pattern, the pattern style is complex and changeable, ingenious, I roughly recognized, there are such as phoenix, unicorn, merman and other myths and legends in the image of strange beasts, it looks lifelike, as if it is a reduced specimen that is solidified in the coffin. Judging from the level of craftsmanship in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it is simply a fine product among the fines.
"It's a pity that my DV is broken, otherwise I will definitely record the moment when this glass coffin is opened!" Zheng Tian sighed beside me with some frustration.
"The secret that our family has been searching for for generations is finally about to be revealed." Wei Yin's eyes were already a little moist after she finished speaking, and she thought that she should have remembered her father, whose whereabouts were unknown.
"Yes, the secret is about to be revealed." At this time, I focused my eyes on Uncle Dao and Zheng Tian, and found that they did not simply use a crowbar to pry the coffin, but kept knocking on the coffin surface like unlocking a combination lock, and then put their ears close to the sound to identify the sound, and then according to this sound, they turned a "ink" disc in the center of the coffin lid, and every time the disc rotated a little, the coffin lid would rise a little, and when the coffin lid was raised, they immediately supported it with a crowbar......
Uncle Dao and Brother Qi cooperated with each other and behaved very professionally, but I don't know exactly how they operated.
"How? How long will it take? Wei Yin asked anxiously.
"Come on, when the lid of the coffin rises another inch, we can pry it open directly." Seventh Brother replied.
At this time, Zheng Tian patted me on the shoulder and asked in a low voice: "You said that the coffin lid will be lifted later, and it is Xiao Qing, the king of Southern Liangning, or Hong Xiuquan of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?" ”
I'm also very curious about this question, although this big tomb belongs to Xiao Qing, the king of Ning, but it is an indisputable fact that Hong Xiuquan renovated the tomb and occupied the magpie's nest, so it is very likely that the person lying in the glass coffin is no longer Xiao Qing himself.
"In this way, let's bet on a meal, bet one on each, you bet on Xiao Qing, how about I bet on Hong Xiuquan?" I said.
Zheng Tian nodded: "Okay, bet on it." ”
Wei Yin was not in a good mood, and when she saw that we were betting on this matter, she immediately ridiculed us: "Why don't you bet on whether it is Dian Cheng or Zheng Tian who is lying inside?" It's boring. ”
"Let it be a pleasure in the midst of suffering." I said helplessly.
A quarter of an hour later, the historic moment finally came, when the coffin lid had risen to a height that could be pried open with a crowbar.
Uncle Dao and Brother Qi immediately clenched the crowbar, and after the two shouted "three, two, one", they worked together, and finally lifted the entire hanging coffin lid.
All of us gathered around and looked inside, but what everyone didn't expect was that the corpse lying inside was neither Ning Wang Xiao Qing nor Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan, but ......
