Chapter 30: Lifting the Coffin
Thinking so in his heart, Fei Yunfan couldn't help but climb faster and hit the fat man's ass headfirst. The fat man turned around and scolded, "What are you doing? Fei Yunfan saw the fat man leaning slightly by the firelight, and climbed forward with difficulty. Damn, were people in ancient times so thin? If I was still young, I wouldn't be able to climb. ”
Fei Yunfan couldn't help laughing, but said: "You really were in ancient times, everyone had something to eat, it wasn't Yuan Longping who solved the problem of eating more than a billion of us, I think we are similar to the ancients." ”
While talking, they climbed to the end of the corridor, and the fat man squeezed out of the corridor, and then let out a long breath. In front of me is a burial chamber, the size of a basketball court in all directions, in the middle of the burial chamber is a carved golden silk nan wooden coffin, and against the wall is a table full of jewels and a treasure knife. It seems that these are the favorite things in front of the owner, and they are used for burial. The walls around the tomb are covered with frescoes, from which the owner of the tomb is a general in front of him, and the walls are carved with large and small battles fought in front of him.
The first time he went to the ground, he found the main tomb so smoothly, and there were so many dark weapons, Fei Yunfan didn't know whether to say that he was lucky or bad. But the fat man who is usually a money fan doesn't seem to be on these dark weapons anymore. He was looking for something on the tomb wall.
"Fatty, what are you looking for?"
"Don't you think it's strange? Since this is the main burial chamber, what about Xiaolan and the others? ”
Fei Yunfan only cared about looking at the artifact, but he forgot about Xiaolan and them. The burial chamber was sealed on all sides, except for the passage that had just entered. It stands to reason that they should be in this tomb, but Fei Yunfan didn't find them after he came in, and there was no trace of them coming. Even the snake-like traces on the top disappeared along with it.
"Could they have gone out already?"
The fat man shook his head and said, "No, anything on the table is worth a lot." Even if you can't take it all, you should take a light one. They went out without taking anything, not even opening the coffin, which is illogical. ”
Fei Yunfan listened extremely strangely, and asked the fat man tentatively: "Then what should we do next?" ”
"Open the coffin."
Before Fei Yunfan came, he bought a little book about tomb robbery in the thrift market, and made up for it on the train, opening the coffin is a compulsory course for tomb robbers, one is that the most precious thing in front of the tomb owner must be buried together in the coffin, such as Wu Wang Jian in the coffin of King Wu Goujian. The treasure in the coffin is the most coveted thing by tomb robbers, and perhaps one piece can top all the artifacts outside. The second is that tomb robbers are not born bold, and most of them have to be cultivated. This is how you can learn to improvise in the tomb.
Of course, opening the coffin is also an extremely dangerous job, and many tombs often have corpses that do not decay for a hundred years, and these corpses may rise once they come into contact with the yang energy of the living. Therefore, opening the coffin is a combination of courage and technology, and it is an affirmation of the skill of tomb robbers.
Fei Yunfan has now defined himself and the fat man as tomb robbers in his bones, or the kind of rookie tomb robbers who don't understand anything.
The fat man took a torch that was about to burn out as a crowbar, and then worked with Fei Yunfan to push open the coffin lid of the golden silk nanmu, and after pushing open a gap, the fat man put the torch into the crack at one end, and with a force, the coffin lid was pried to the ground.
At this time, a gloomy wind blew in the tomb, blowing the torches on Fei Yunfan's sail and almost extinguishing them. Fei Yunfan used his body to block the wind blowing. Torches were the only thing they could use to illuminate the tomb. It's going to be blown out, and I don't know where to light the fire.
The fat man's face became serious at this time, and he said, "People light candles, and ghosts blow out lamps." It seems that the owner of the tomb did not welcome us very well. As he spoke, the fat man made two gestures to the man in the coffin. The rooster crows, the lights go out, and the gold is not touched. Fat man, I don't belong to their faction. You just blew out this torch, and Lao Tzu also wants to see what's inside. If there is a place to offend, there will be a lot of seas, and there will be many seas. ”
Fei Yunfan scolded secretly: "I don't know what the fat man is talking about, if you have to see what is in the coffin, and you have to bear with me, if I am the owner of the tomb, I can be angry with him, no, it is a corpse." ”
The one inside the coffin didn't seem to reflect much, lying there quietly. The fat man beckoned Fei Yunfan to take the torch a little. Look at what's inside the coffin.
I saw that the person in the coffin was a man, in his thirties and forties, wearing dragon scale tortoise shells and a tiger's head roaring hat. Born like a military general.
"He died at the age of thirty or forty, and he fought so many battles during his lifetime, and if he lived a little longer, he would definitely be a famous general in history." Fei Yunfan said with emotion.
The fat man looked disdainful and said, "How much this person eats and how much he uses in his life is destined by God." I can't ask for it. Fei Yunfan couldn't help but laugh when he saw that the fat man usually looked like he was not in a hurry, and now he said such a Zen thing. But I think there is some truth to it. A person was born in a wealthy family, but he was frail and sick since he was a child, and it was still not good to visit famous doctors. That's pretty much what it means.
At this time, the fat man reached into the coffin and groped under the corpse. Suddenly, the fat man retracted his hand, took a few steps back, and at the same time pulled out the knife on his waist. Seeing this, Fei Yunfan also took a few steps back, his eyes staring at the coffin in front of him.
I saw that the coffin began to shake slightly, and at the same time, there was a heavy breathing sound from the coffin. Whew~~~Whew~~~Whew. The person in the coffin seemed to be about to come back to life, and Fei Yunfan's hand holding the torch at this time was slightly sweating.
This kind of tension is different from the previous encounter with the corpse clothes, the corpse in the coffin gives people an unprecedented sense of oppression, forcing people to breathe. Fei Yunfan silently thought in his heart: "Don't get up, don't get up, I'm not nervous, I'm not nervous." ”
Who knows that there is a fart, and the corpse in the coffin sat up at once, this is good, they didn't see Xiaolan, and put themselves in first.
The zombie didn't seem to be interested in them, and after crawling out of the coffin, he walked straight to the table, picked up the treasure knife on the table, and stroked it repeatedly. The fat man made a withdrawal gesture to Fei Yunfan.
As soon as they touched the entrance of the tomb, the zombie seemed to sense Fei Yunfan's intentions and immediately drew his knife and pounced on them. Fei Yunfan dodged into the tomb, and the zombie held a treasure knife and climbed in. Fei Yunfan is of medium stature, and he can climb relatively fast in the tomb. It's just that the fat man is bitter, and in the front section of the tomb, he needs to crawl with his abdomen closed, and his speed is greatly reduced.
Although the zombie was burly before his death, he was already a dry corpse at this time, and although the skeleton was large, the width was still one size smaller than that of the fat man, and it had an absolute advantage in speed. When he was about to catch up with the fat man, the fat man squeezed out the narrowest section of the tomb at this time, and then as if dying, he crawled up on all fours.
Despite crawling so fast, he didn't throw off the zombie for half a minute, only the sound of the zombie swinging his sword and slashing at the wall.
The fat man ran and ran, and suddenly scolded: "I'll grass your grandma." Fei Yunfan immediately looked back, and the fat man actually turned around and pounced on the zombie, and the treasure knife in the zombie's hand pierced the fat man's chest.
Fei Yunfan was anxious in his heart and scolded: "Dead fat man, what are you crazy about." I didn't have time to think about it, and we turned around and pounced on the zombies. I thought I and the fat man were going to be finished. Who knew that the fat man pounced, and everything in front of him suddenly disappeared.
Fei Yunfan and the fat man were lying on the ground panting, and the fat man said, "What are you doing here?" If it's true, aren't we both finished? ”
Fei Yunfan looked up at the top of the tomb and didn't answer his question, and said, "How do you know it's fake?" ”
"It's a knife mark, and when it chased me, it suddenly occurred to me that when the knife slashes hard, the position of the focus point is the deepest, and the knife mark near the handle will be slightly shallower. But when we came in, the knives were all cut outward, and if Xiaolan was chased by something, and if they left a mark in a hurry, the knife marks would be cut to the inside of the tomb. If you want to turn around and cut it, don't you take off your pants and fart? ”
"I see, they had the same thing, but when we went in, nothing had been disturbed in the tomb. You conclude that all this is a fantasy. ”
Fei Yunfan sighed: "I don't know, how are Xiaolan and them doing now?" ”
The fat man said: "Don't worry, fantasy can't kill people, it will only lead you to the trap step by step." Until we find them, let's hope they're alive. ”
Fei Yunfan suddenly covered the fat man's mouth, the fat man was startled, and even took his hand off his mouth, and said, "What are you doing?" ”
Fei Yunfan made a silent gesture, tilted his ears to listen, and said, "I seem to hear someone talking in the cave." ”
The fat man also listened for a while and said, "Could it be Xiaolan and them?" Fei Yunfan shook his head and said that he couldn't be sure, so he could only investigate, the fat man took the lead in front and climbed back, and Fei Yunfan followed behind him. Crawling, crawling, Fei Yunfan felt that the fat man suddenly stopped, and hit his butt again, Fei Yunfan just wanted to scold, but felt his body tremble slightly, Fei Yunfan asked him softly What happened, the fat man didn't answer Fei Yunfan, just kept retreating. Fei Yunfan was very surprised, and wanted to squeeze through the gap in his chest to see what was happening.
Fei Yunfan squeezed for a long time before barely squeezing half a head. Fei Yunfan glanced into the cave, because one eye is short-sighted, if you only use that short-sighted eye to see things, the things in front of you will become very blurry.
