Five willow coffins
Gao Moli and I had the longest conversation yet, and it ended with Gao Moli's unauthorized departure.
Professor Kang stood there with a blank face, I looked at the baby skin scroll, and felt that this thing was not of much use to me, and I felt a little infiltrating when I held it in my hand, and said: "Come, professor, you should keep it first, and then hand it over to the archaeological institute, let the papermaking experts or leather experts study and study, and see the papermaking process of our Han Dynasty." ”
Professor Kang took it mechanically, and instead of talking to me, he stared straight at the black bull, which couldn't be more obvious.
The black bull was uncomfortable by him, and said: "What's the matter, so far, we are all grasshoppers on a rope." Don't look at me, as long as you take out those two gold medals first, I'm naturally embarrassed to hide them anymore. It's better to study together, make progress together, and get rich together! ”
I kicked the black bull and criticized: "You talk a lot of nonsense, and you are still here to talk to the professor about the conditions, quickly take out the gold medal, and let Professor Kang study it." ”
The black bull said angrily: "You also heard, this gold jewelry is related to finding some stone into alchemy, how can I take it out easily, I have to use it as a bargaining chip to say anything, in order to get a piece of the pie in the future, isn't it?" ”
Professor Kang waved his hand and said, "Well, Comrade Maverick's proposal just now is also very reasonable, and those two gold medals are indeed here." ”
Now, Professor Kang's previous organization no longer exists, and the reason why he is struggling to pursue it is just to find a result of what he has studied all his life and give himself an explanation. He must have thought that only by cooperating with the Black Bull could he find the Ancient Heavenly Book now.
I glanced to the side, and the two mercenaries were holding Zhang Xuefeng and the old smoking gun respectively, and from time to time they looked up at the skull of the tree above their heads. Zhang Xuefeng covered his chest with his hands and stood there with a little difficulty, as if he would not pose a threat to us for a while.
Professor Kang took off his personal satchel and put it on the ground, lifted his shirt, and saw a palm-length scar on his abdomen, and the flesh was sewn with needles and threads. Professor Kang looked down to find the thread at the end of the scar, gritted his teeth, and the thread was pulled out of the flesh. The wound on his abdomen opened again, like a laughing mouth, revealing the bright red muscle tissue inside, and people couldn't help but feel a pain when they saw it.
Everyone was stunned, and I hurried to stop Professor Kang, who waved his hand at me, endured the pain, and pulled out a blood-stained plastic bag from the wound in his abdomen, which contained the two heavy gold medals with the double beast devouring horse pattern.
No wonder Zhang Xuefeng pressed the body search all the way and didn't find the two gold medals, it turned out that Professor Kang hid the gold plaques in his body in this almost self-harming way.
I hurriedly supported Professor Kang, and Gu Yixin opened his backpack to find everything that could be used to stop bleeding and bandage.
Professor Kang sat on the ground with his eyes closed in pain and inhaled cold air, holding the blood-stained plastic bag tightly in his hand, and the wound on his abdomen also re-flowed blood, soaking through his clothes.
Gu Yixin looked for a while, took out a pin from his bag, straightened it, burned it on the lighter, tied a thread, and helped Professor Kang re-stitch the wound. I can't bear to look at that scene, and I can't tell it in detail.
I casually sprinkled the remaining half bottle of Yunnan Baiyao powder on Professor Kang's wound. I secretly thought in my heart, after this toss, Old Man Kang's life is only half left, if he successfully finds the exit of the ancient tomb, send him to the hospital as soon as possible, maybe there is still a rescue, if it is delayed for two or three days, the wound will become infected and suppurated, and then it will be really useless. Thinking about it like this, I can't help but feel a little anxious.
Hei Niu took out his gold ornament and handed it to Professor Kang: "Okay, old man, just this way of hiding gold ornaments at you, I have nothing to say in my admiration, you can take your time, just see the way and tell me." ”
Professor Kang wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead with his cuffs, wiped his hands on his body a few more times, took the gold medal with the double beast devouring horse pattern in the hand of the black bull, and studied it under the light of my searchlight.
Professor Kang looked at it a few times, touched the little Shu character and said, "This is really the one in the Yizhou Thorn History Tomb!" I traveled thousands of miles into Black Tiger Mountain to find this gold ornament, but I didn't expect it to be out of the ancient tomb a long time ago, in your hands, it is really providential. ”
I felt guilty and explained, "Actually, we wanted to talk to you when we met, but at that time, the situation was special, and I was afraid that such an important thing would fall into the hands of others. ”
Professor Kang nodded: "Xiao Su, you did the right thing, this gold jewelry plate is too important." With that, he carefully arranged the three gold medals in a row on the palms of his two hands, and looked carefully at them under the light.
The three gold plaques are carved with brown bears preying on horses, but in different forms: in one piece, the brown bear crouches on one side and the driver moves, the horse panics and flees, and the battle seems to be about to break out; In another piece, the brown bear jumps up and raises its paws and claws to prey on the horse, and the horse is forced to turn back and raise its front hooves to fight back; The last piece of brown bear and horse are at war together, indistinguishable from each other, a scene of a battle in full swing. The three gold plaques are all embossed, and the texture carvings of bears and horses are convex, which is intricately intricate.
Professor Kang turned over and over the three gold plaques and changed several arrangements, but he couldn't see the mystery in them, and said with a little frustration: "There was a secret mural in the tomb of King Liang of Niutou Mountain, which said that Li Shaojun hid the location of the Book of Heaven in the gold ornament and was rewarded by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to the three princes with outstanding military achievements. Now, the three gold medals have been gathered, but a fourth has emerged on the baby skin scroll, and I don't know where the fourth gold ornament is hidden, and whether I will have a chance to find it in my life. ”
I saw that Professor Kang's face was pale and depressed, so I hurriedly comforted: "I can't say that the fourth gold medal is also hidden in this Yizhou Thorn History Tomb. You think, the baby skin scrolls are hidden here, which shows the importance and special features of this tomb. ”
The black bull echoed: "Yes, such a high-standard tomb has been rewarded, it is not impossible to say, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was happy, he rewarded him with two gold medals of Yizhou Thorn History, which is not impossible." ”
At this time, the tall mercenary who had been standing aside spoke: "Chief Niu, let's hurry up and find a way out, I think the skull on the top of my head is too penetrating." ”
The black bull said impatiently: "You just eat melons and watch the excitement, don't you see that a few of our leaders are studying important things?" Besides, that tree is a frightening ornament, and you're afraid of a ball! ”
I looked at Professor Kang, afraid that he would not last long, and thought to myself, the top priority is indeed to find an exit. He Hei Niu said: "Explore all the way and study all the way, whether it is to find the exit or find the fourth gold medal, we have to act quickly." ”
Professor Kang returned the gold medal to the black bull, and put the two pieces back in the plastic bag and put them in the personal army green backpack. He let out a sigh of relief: "Let's go, let's continue to look around, I can't say that there are other valuable clues in this tomb." ”
Gu Yixin and I picked up Professor Kang and walked to the front of the big tree. It occurred to me that before I came in, I had stood on the stone steps and observed the tomb, and that there was only one exit from which we had entered, and that exit was connected to the tombway, and there were no other branches in the tomb.
Could it be that this Western Han Dynasty Yizhou Thorn History Tomb only has this one burial chamber? But how come there is not even a coffin in this tomb, this is so fucking unreasonable.
I called the black bull, ready to talk to him about the doubts in my heart, and shouted twice, but no one answered. I looked back and saw that the black bull was gone.
I cursed, and hurried towards the tree hole, and after walking a few steps, I heard the black bull muttering to himself in the tree hole: "Damn, this box grows a piece from a broken stone?" I still don't believe it, I can't break you today! ”
I used my searchlight to shine it out, and found that the black bull had quietly jumped into the tree pit while everyone was leaving, and was using brute force to break the gold box encrusted with precious stones.
"Damn, don't touch that box, I think that box is ......"
Before I finished speaking, I saw the black bull bowing his legs half-squatting, twisting it hard in a clockwise direction, and the golden treasure box actually moved.
"Damn, there's a door, this fucking box can be twisted like a screw! Lao Su, you wait for me up there. With that, the black bull actually made two more twists with all his strength.
I secretly thought that I was in a hurry, and I wanted to jump into the tree hole to stop the black bull, but before I could act, I heard a heavy grinding sound suddenly from under the floor of the tomb.
Black Bull was stunned when he heard the voice, "What's the situation?" ”
I didn't bother to explain to him, so I yelled, quickly dragged him out of the hole in the tree, and the two of them ran to the tree together.
Before he could gain a firm foothold, he saw that the bluestone floor tiles in the center of the tomb were cracking on both sides, accompanied by a harsh friction sound, as if something was about to come out under the tomb.
