Chapter 342: Yin Yang Palace
The bead in the corpse's mouth was similar in color to the color of the ice coffin, but it was not translucent, but a pale blue from the inside out.
Fearing that the beads in the corpse's mouth would be in danger, I did not rush to remove them, but carefully observed them.
Unlike the jade eyes just now, the pale blue bead in the corpse's mouth not only did not have the slightest fragrance, but also carried a suffocating fishy smell.
Not only that, but after the bead came into contact with the air, the color began to slowly become deeper.
What started out as a pale blue bead turned dark blue after two minutes, and the smell of it became much stronger.
"The corpse has beads in its mouth, I didn't expect us to really encounter this kind of thing." I looked at the bead, which had turned dark blue, and said dumbly.
If the pair of jade eyeballs in the corpse's eyes just now were just outside, then the appearance of this bead in his mouth was expected.
In the past, I have watched all kinds of movies or TV series, and I don't know how many times the plot of the corpse with beads in the mouth has appeared, and without exception, they all say that the beads have the wonderful effect of making the corpse incorruptible and the face will last forever.
I didn't care if the bead in front of me would keep the body incorruptible, I wondered what it was, and why it had changed from light blue to dark blue in a minute or two.
Even more incomprehensible was why the thousand-year-old tortoise knew that the corpse had the bead in its mouth and looked like it wanted to get it.
"Do you know what this bead smells like?" Li Huiyan bent down and looked at the beads in the corpse's mouth twice, then turned to us and asked.
"It's a bit like the fishy smell of dead fish, and it's a little salty, like the smell of the sea breeze." I thought about it and said.
"I just smell it stinks, and I can't tell the rest apart." Dong Shan said with a smirk.
"I'm pretty much the same, I only smell fishy, and I can't tell the rest." Qin Gong also followed closely and said.
It seems that a hundred people have a hundred opinions, and if Xiao Yue and Dong Shuang are called in, it is estimated that they can smell something else.
"My thoughts are similar to Zhang's three years, and I also feel like the fishy smell of dead fish, and there is a little bit of sea breeze. If nothing else, nine times out of ten, this bead came from the sea. Li Huiyan said.
"That being said, I can't remember that there are such beads in the ocean. Let's say it's a pearl, it's obviously too big, and if you say it's a coral pearl, it doesn't look like it either. I said.
That's all I can see about this bead, and it's impossible for me to analyze the specific origin of this bead.
"Since this bead has such a strong fishy smell, could it be that it was taken from some kind of fish?" Li Huiyan said again.
"Fish? But I've never heard of any kind of fish that have beads on them, have you heard of it? I asked Li Huiyan.
"I haven't heard of it, I only knew that mussel shells produce pearls, and I don't know if any other fish also grow pearls in their bodies." Li Huiyan shook her head and said.
Judging from the strong fishy smell emitted by this bead, it is obviously not as simple as an ordinary pearl, not to mention that no pearl is of this color, let alone this taste.
"You think this bead must have grown on some special fish, and it was later obtained by fishermen and transferred to the owner of the tomb." I said.
"It's not impossible, just because the fishy smell of this bead alone makes it certain that it's not a pearl, and it's not polished from some kind of stone." Li Huiyan said.
Having said that, we can only discuss it on our own guesses, and everyone present is obviously seeing such a bead for the first time, so no one will know its origin.
If anyone knows the origin of this bead, I estimate that it is only the thousand-year-old turtle in Dong Dan's hand.
But even if we know more about this thousand-year-old tortoise, it will be of no use to us, because there is no way to communicate with it.
For a moment, everyone fell silent. If you can know what this bead is, you will naturally know its origin and purpose.
"Maybe someone knows where this bead came from, and we can ask him about it." After a moment of silence, Li Huiyan suddenly said.
"Who? Could it be an old man? I immediately asked.
"Of course it's not Old Man Yang, in fact, you are also familiar with this person, and he is with you now." Li Huiyan shook her head and said.
I was stunned for a moment, thinking to myself, isn't it you who is with me, could it be that there are others? However, with my understanding of Li Huiyan, she obviously won't say those meaningless words, and since she said so, she must have her deep meaning.
I kept thinking about who was with me, and it took me a while before I reacted and asked Li Huiyan, "Xiao Yan, what did you mean by the ghost boy just now?" Li Huiyan didn't speak, just nodded, and the answer was already obvious.
If it weren't for Li Huiyan mentioning the ghost child, I would have forgotten him. I have to say that Li Huiyan's proposal is really feasible.
We have compared the corpse in the ice coffin and the ghost boy just now, the two look very similar, and the two are also the burial companions of the tomb owner, if anyone can know the origin of this bead, it must be the ghost boy.
The only thing that worries me a little is the age of the ghost boy, judging by his appearance after death, most of them are just a child under the age of ten.
Less than ten years old, it is the age of playfulness, even if the ghost boy really saw this bead before his death, he may not be able to know its origin.
Although I am so oriented in my heart, I also have the mentality of treating a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and I still plan to find a ghost boy to inquire about this matter.
But at this time, a difficult problem was placed in front of me, how to call the ghost child? Regarding this point, I have been puzzled by everything since Yao Linger attached it to the birthmark, and even now I still don't know what to do.
Although the ghost boy was attached to the grimace birthmark behind me, I didn't feel his presence in the slightest, let alone call him.
I don't know if it was luck or coincidence, but just when I was a little at a loss, the grimace birthmark on my back suddenly became hot, as if something was drilling out.
A moment later, when two short figures appeared in front of the ice coffin, I was overjoyed.
The two short figures that appeared in front of the ice coffin were none other than Yao Ling'er and the ghost boy attached to my birthmark, and I don't know if it was because they heard our conversation, so they suddenly ran out.
Yao Ling'er stood in front of the ice coffin and looked around, but the ghost boy's performance attracted everyone's attention.
Since the ghost boy appeared, his eyes have not left the ice coffin, to be exact, the corpse in the ice coffin.
And looking at the appearance of the ghost boy at this time, he looked very sad, obviously he knew the one in the ice coffin, but he didn't know what kind of relationship the two had.
The ghost boy stared at the ice coffin, and I didn't dare to disturb him. Although he was treated obediently in front of Yao Ling'er, I still felt that he was very dangerous, so I was a little afraid of him.
After a while, the ghost boy came to his senses, and I stepped forward, but I didn't know how to speak.
The ghost boy may seem very young, but he is much older than the rest of us, and it seems a little rude to call him a child.
Eventually, I decided to call him a little friend. Regardless of whether the ghost boy was born more than a thousand years ago or not, in short, he was so old when he died, and his age should naturally be fixed at this age.
"Kid, can I ask you a few questions?" I asked softly to the Ghost Boy. Originally, I was just going to ask about the origin of the bead in the corpse's mouth, but after seeing the ghost boy's behavior just now, I wanted to inquire about his relationship with the person in the ice coffin.
Hearing this, the ghost boy didn't answer anything immediately, but raised his head and glanced at Yao Ling'er beside him, and saw Yao Ling'er nodded, so he said, "Ask." ”
"Can you tell us about your relationship with this person? And who exactly is the owner of this mausoleum? I hesitated for a moment and asked the ghost boy.
He ...... It's my sixth brother, who this mausoleum is, I can't tell you. Ghost boy said.
"Well, since it's inconvenient for you to answer, then I won't ask." I paused, and then asked, "Then do you know what that bead is in your sixth brother's mouth?" What is it used for? Hearing this, the ghost boy fell silent again, and he turned to look at the ice coffin again, apparently falling into memory again.
Although the ghost boy is just a soul now, and it is impossible for him to shed tears or anything, I can still feel that he is very sad now.
If the sixth brother in the ice coffin is really the ghost boy, the ghost boy must have been in an indescribable mood when he saw him, that is, he didn't know why these two people were funeral companions in the first place.
The ghost boy didn't speak, and his eyes suddenly fell on the thousand-year-old turtle in Dong Dan's hand, and he became very happy in an instant.
The ghost boy stepped forward and wanted to reach out to the thousand-year-old tortoise, but the translucent palm passed directly through the body of the thousand-year-old tortoise, which was obviously not **.
"I raised the baby turtle, and I hope you can take it out and take good care of it. It's so lonely to stay here. Ghost Boy turned to me and said to me in a slightly pleading tone.
"Of course it's okay to take it out, but you haven't told me what that bead in your sixth brother's mouth is." I said.
