Chapter 17: The sarcophagus is a corpse
The heavy sarcophagus fell to the ground with a bang, and Du Yuesheng couldn't help but be stunned, and even Wu Zhiyuan was taken aback. Wu Zhiyuan ran over a few steps, and found that the wooden stake nailed to the wall was old and had long been decayed, and the sarcophagus was already crumbling on the wooden stake, and then Du Yuesheng tossed it, so the roots were broken.
"Yuesheng, it's okay, right?" Wu Zhiyuan expressed concern.
"It's nothing, there's nothing to do......" Du Yuesheng's palpitations did not disappear, muttering to himself, and it took a long time to come back to his senses.
The two looked at the sarcophagus, this sarcophagus was extremely ordinary in appearance, without any deliberate pattern carving, just from the appearance, it was difficult to deduce that there would be valuable funeral goods inside.
Du Yuesheng showed a look of disappointment on his face, if the sarcophagus was still empty, he would have to go crazy.
The pickaxe and shovel were placed at the entrance of the thief's hole, and the two had to push the lid of the coffin with their bare hands. The coffin lid is made of pure stone, and the weight is about three or five hundred catties, so it is absolutely impossible to lift the sarcophagus lid like the coffin lid of a coffin.
Through this crack, a strange fragrance wafted out, filling the entire burial chamber in an instant.
"It smells so good! It's a female corpse! Through the gap, he could only see the pitch black in the sarcophagus, Du Yuesheng just guessed, after all, there were more women he had been close to.
Wu Zhiyuan took the candle and shone it inward through the gap, and a burst of brilliant brilliance was suddenly reflected in the coffin.
The spirits of the two were lifted, so they pushed hard with all their strength, and pushed the coffin lid to the ground little by little, and the coffin lid fell to the ground with a loud "boom" sound, and the echo in the tomb lingered.
The two of them couldn't take a breath, and the scene in front of them had already stunned them.
In the huge sarcophagus, there is a female corpse, the female corpse wears a silver phoenix crown, does not look like a Han person, the face is good, the skin is snow-white, fresh and tender like a living person, as if it is blown and broken. A pair of wonderful eyes were closed, not like a corpse, but more like asleep. The fat powder on her face was slightly applied, and the charming aroma emanated from her.
What surprised Wu Zhiyuan and Du Yuesheng even more was that the female corpse was full of all kinds of rare treasures, pearl necklaces, jade bracelets, gold hairpins and other women's jewelry, as well as gold bowls, silver chopsticks and other living utensils, and countless pearls and gold bars scattered among them, as well as some strange utensils that the two had never seen, one of which was shaped like an incense burner, with a lid on it, but it was much smaller than the incense burner, and the texture should be made of bronze.
Under the light of the dancing candles, the gold and silver jewels in the sarcophagus reflected the golden light, and the entire burial chamber suddenly became golden and brilliant.
"It's gone!" Du Yuesheng grabbed a handful of jewelry and looked at Wu Zhiyuan with excitement and excitement.
Wu Zhiyuan has never seen what jewelry looks like when he is so old, let alone such a lot, and he is also surprised and happy at this time, and he can't say a word.
"Big brother, put it on!" Du Yuesheng was finally more knowledgeable than Wu Zhi, and was the first to react.
The two grabbed a handful of jewelry and gold utensils and stuffed them into the cloth pocket, although the pocket was large, but it could not contain many things, Du Yuesheng took off the single clothes outside, spread them on the ground, used them as a burden, and put the funeral goods in the hall on the clothes.
Wu Zhiyuan's pockets were also full, and when he had an idea, he remembered that there was a cloth bag containing a bronze mirror and Taoist scriptures in his arms, so he took it out, poured out the bronze mirror and scriptures and was about to throw them away, hesitated for a moment, and tucked them into his arms again.
There was a frenzied plunder, and soon all the pockets and baggage that the two of them could fit were filled, and the bulging bags made the two feel a lot heavier, but there were still as many as half of the gold, silver and jewelry in the sarcophagus.
"I knew that I would bring a sack with me when I came." Du Yuesheng looked at the remaining burial goods in the sarcophagus and felt remorseful.
"Let's get these back first, and it's not too late to get the rest." Wu Zhiyuan blurted out, and after saying this, he realized that he also loved money so much, to put it mildly, he was greedy for money.
Du Yuesheng is still nostalgic for the treasure in the sarcophagus, he can't wait to pour it all into his bag at once, and it is not only troublesome to do it again, but also easy to alarm others, I am afraid that the night will be long and dreamy. Suddenly, he saw something pressed under the jewel, and shouted out in a lost voice: "Huh? Big brother, come and see! What is it? ”
Wu Zhiyuan took a closer look, like a scabbard, reached out and pulled it out of the pile of jewelry.
It's really a knife! The whole body of the knife is about half a meter long, slightly longer than the dagger, but shorter than the big knife, the scabbard of the knife handle is simple and elegant, engraved with auspicious cloud patterns, it seems to be made of bronze, compared with other treasures in the coffin, there is no rarity.
"It's just an ordinary ......" Wu Zhiyuan looked disappointed, if the scabbard of the knife was inlaid with a few gems, the value of this knife would be completely different, but the moment he pulled out the knife, his voice stopped.
There was a crisp sound of "Zheng", and a dazzling red light pierced Wu Zhiyuan's eyes, he stared at it eye-catchingly, and couldn't help but be shocked, only to see that the knife in his hand was blood-red, which was no different from the color of human blood.
"What a sword!" Du Yuesheng couldn't help but sigh in admiration, but as soon as the words fell, the smile on his face froze, replaced by a frightened look, and at the same time retreated again and again.
Wu Zhiyuan's mind was on the blood knife in his hand, and he didn't notice Du Yuesheng's sudden change in expression at all.
"Big brother! Be careful! Du Yuesheng shouted in a trembling tone.
"What's wrong?" Wu Zhiyuan looked up suddenly, and saw Du Yuesheng constantly retreating with a frightened face, as if he had seen something extremely frightening.
"Behind you!" Du Yuesheng's face turned pale with fright, and he pointed behind Wu Zhiyuan with his hand.
Wu Zhiyuan suddenly felt a surprisingly cold behind him, turned around to look, and saw the female corpse in the sarcophagus standing in front of him, staring at him with a pair of dead white eyes.
Before she could react, the female corpse grabbed Wu Zhiyuan's neck with both hands and threw it at the ground, Wu Zhiyuan was thrown out of the coffin from a distance, fell heavily to the ground, the blood knife in her hand fell to the side, and the gold, silver and jewelry in the cloth bag were also scattered all over the ground.
Wu Zhiyuan only felt that the bones in his body were about to fall apart, and the pain was unbearable.
The female corpse roared, let out a terrifying scream, jumped up to the body, jumped out of the sarcophagus, and staggered towards Du Yuesheng.
The female corpse's footsteps were not fast, but very slow, but at this time in the tomb, all sides were closed, Du Yuesheng knew that there was no way to avoid it, took out the jewelry in his pocket, and threw it at the female corpse.
The jewel smashed into the woman's face and fell to the ground, making no use of it.
"You...... You...... Is it a human or a ghost? Du Yuesheng kept retreating in a panic, her mouth trembling, and she couldn't speak.
Wu Zhiyuan was lying on the ground, unable to get up for a while, and by the faint candlelight, he saw that the original fresh skin of the female corpse had become as if it had been burned by lime, white and terrifying.
"Corpse!" A thought flashed in Wu Zhiyuan's mind, he heard the story of the corpse fraud when he was a child, but he didn't expect to let himself bump into it. I only hate that I haven't found Zhang Zefang yet, and I learned the Maoshan Taoism as I wished, otherwise dealing with the walking corpse in front of me is just a matter of raising my hands and feet.
At this moment, the female corpse suddenly jumped in front of Du Yuesheng, grabbed with both hands, and pinched Du Yuesheng's neck fiercely, Du Yuesheng grabbed the claws of the female corpse tightly with both hands, and broke it outward, but the strength of the female corpse was surprisingly great, Du Yuesheng only felt that her breathing was getting shorter and shorter, her tongue stretched out involuntarily, and her face turned from red to white, from white to purple.
