Chapter 429: The Contract
With the appearance of the white bone coffin, the clicks that originally resounded in the walls around the tomb also came to an abrupt end.
At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on this coffin that suddenly appeared, and everyone showed a very surprised expression, even He Zitong, who had always had a calm expression.
The four tomb robbers led by Brother Lei stood up as soon as the white bone coffin appeared and walked in the direction of the white bone coffin.
Perhaps because they were a little worried that there was an anti-theft mechanism on the coffin, these tomb robbers did not get too close to the white bone coffin, but stopped a long way away from the white bone coffin.
He Zitong, who had never left the tomb door since entering the tomb, now stood up and walked some distance in the direction of the white bone coffin.
In the end, He Zitong also stopped a long way away from the white bone coffin and looked at the white bone coffin with interest.
"Xiao Yan, why don't we go over and have a look." I said to Li Huiyan.
"Well, I should have seen it, I've never seen such a coffin, but this time it's really a long experience." Li Huiyan nodded and said.
Then we walked towards the place where the coffin was, and finally stopped in the opposite direction to the tomb robbers.
Just now, I could clearly see that this white bone coffin was slowly falling from the top of the tomb, which made me feel a little weird.
When I walked into the bone coffin, I kept looking at the top of the bone coffin very carefully, and was finally surprised to find that there was no rope tied to the top of the bone coffin.
Since there are no ropes on the white bone coffin, how the white bone coffin slowly fell from the top of the tomb just now is really a little incomprehensible.
Everyone saw very clearly that when the white bone coffin fell just now, it was as if something was dragging it and slowly hanging down, was it really hell?
However, there are no fewer bizarre and strange things in this tomb, and even if there are ghosts, it is normal, and I can accept this.
Since we were in the corner of the burial chamber, we were surprised by the appearance of the white coffin, but we didn't really feel much else.
But now it's different, where we are now is only a few feet away from the white bone coffin, and we can already clearly see the appearance of the white bone coffin.
The coffin was made of countless bones spliced together, and it looks like it relied on some kind of resin as the material for pasting, so that even after more than a thousand years, the coffin shows no signs of falling apart.
Because the environment in the burial chamber is very dry, the appearance color of the bone coffin has not changed much, and even the white bones used to piece together the white bone coffin are still very white, looking as if they have just been made.
I carefully observed that the white bones used to make the white bone coffin should have been polished by hand, and they looked very shiny, slightly different from the natural white bones.
"Sister Lizi, is this really a coffin?" Xiao Yue asked on the side.
"It's a coffin, yes, it's that the material used to make the coffin is really unheard of, even I saw it for the first time." Li Huiyan nodded and said, her voice sounding amazing.
I know that Li Huiyan likes to read all kinds of archaeological books on weekdays, and the archaeological knowledge she knows must be very extensive, even she has never heard of such a coffin, and it must have never been unearthed anywhere.
Li Huiyan has never heard of the white bone coffin, and even I have never heard of it, and I dare not imagine that there is such a thing in this world.
Golden silk nanmu wooden pipes, colorful glazed coffins, thousand-year-old ice coffins and even coffins made of corpse wheels and blood trees that are unique in time, these are all things we have seen before.
One thing is certain, the materials used to make coffins in this world are not scarce, and almost all the materials that can be used have been used to make coffins.
As far as I know, there are real things like gold coffins, copper coffins, jade coffins, etc., but this white bone coffin is the only one that I have never heard of, let alone seen.
The moment I saw the white bone coffin, I really admired the owner of this ancient tomb so much that I could come up with the idea of making a coffin out of white bones, and I am afraid that there will be no second person in this world.
"Xiao Yan, these white bones used to make coffins should be human bones, right?" I asked Li Huiyan.
"It looks like it does, it doesn't look like animal bones." Li Huiyan nodded and said.
"Using human bones to make such a white bone coffin, the owner of this ancient tomb is inevitably too cruel, and he simply doesn't take human life seriously." I said.
The white bone coffin in front of us can be said to be a behemoth, just about two meters high, and more than three meters long, almost on par with the bronze coffins we have seen before.
I've noticed that the bones used to make the coffins are almost all long, straight leg bones, and almost none of the other bones are used.
In other words, if you want to make such a white bone coffin, you need to use at least hundreds of people's leg bones to be able to use it, otherwise there is no way to complete it.
"This is normal, there are a few people in the ancient aristocracy who treat ordinary people as human beings, and they have the power of life and death, and it is easy for them to take the lives of others." Li Huiyan said.
I also deeply agree with Li Huiyan's statement. Not to mention it from afar, let's just say that what we encountered in this ancient tomb is that there are dozens of white bone towers first, and then there are these living figurines in this tomb, which is also evidence that the tomb owner was cruel and murderous.
In this way, the white bone coffins we saw in front of us were nothing, far from being comparable to the number of dead people who saw those white bone towers before.
But even so, I still find it a little difficult to accept, these white bone owners used to make white bone coffins, after all, were once fresh lives.
So many lives have been ruined by the owner of the tomb in this way, and some gods are indignant. I wonder why the owner of the tomb made such a white coffin, just because he likes to do it, or is there any other use?
Naturally, I have no way of knowing about this, the owner of the tomb has been dead for more than a thousand years, and the people who participated in the making of the white bone coffin have turned into a cup of loess early, and this secret will probably be buried in the ground forever.
As we stood for a moment near the coffin, I smelled a strange smell coming from the coffin.
The smell was somewhat pungent, like some kind of rubber. Not only that, but in addition to this pungent rubber-like smell, there was also a faint fishy smell coming from the white bone coffin.
I can understand this, after all, it is a coffin made of white bones, and it is natural that there is a faint fishy smell on it.
No matter how well the white bone coffin is done, there is definitely no way to completely seal it, and it is estimated that some of this smell comes from the inside of the white bone coffin.
"I really can't think of what this white bone coffin does, can you think of something, Xiaoyan?" After looking at the white bone coffin a few more times, I asked Li Huiyan.
"I can't think of anything for the time being, but since the owner of the tomb is willing to spend so much energy to make such a white bone coffin, he must have some kind of intention, definitely not just for the sake of looking good." Li Huiyan thought for a while and said.
"Well, I agree with that, so let's take another look." I nodded. If you want to say that this white bone coffin is beautiful, I really don't think it has anything to look at.
Except for the first sight of the white bone coffin, it is indeed not very good-looking, and it is hardly good-looking.
Even the other coffins we saw before were far more beautiful than the white bone coffins in terms of appearance.
Perhaps because of the psychological effect, after knowing that the white bone coffin was made of human bones, I had goosebumps all over my body when I saw this white bone coffin, and I didn't think it was beautiful at all.
It's not just me who thinks so, but the others don't say what they think, but you can see from the expressions on everyone's faces that everyone thinks the same thing.
The white bone coffin is surprising, but it is absolutely impossible to make it like this because it is beautiful, there must be some reason that we don't know.
Then I turned my head and looked around the chamber a few more times. Although the white bone coffin hidden in the tomb appeared, the coffin spirit did not appear because of this, and it is not known where it was hidden.
I couldn't help but murmur to myself in my heart, could it be that the soul charm I just drew was wrong, or because the coffin spirit was afraid of the living, so I deliberately hid.
After all, the nine-character dragon shaking technique is the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancestors of the Yang family, I didn't expect to be able to learn the word introduction technique in such a short time, just now I just made some attempts, but if it really doesn't work, I can't help it.
When I saw the coffin spirit before, because the light in the tomb was not bright enough, and the color of the coffin itself was black, I thought that the coffin hidden in the tomb was made of tree branches.
Now that I see the real bone coffin, I realize that the branches I thought were actually all human bones.
If I had known this was the case in the first place, I might have been a little reluctant to find the coffin, and I don't know how many nights I would have to spend in nightmares after seeing the coffin.
At this time, we were in opposite positions with the tomb robbers, because the coffin was nearly two meters long, and we couldn't see what the tomb robbers were doing, and we didn't know if they had touched the coffin.
In my opinion, it is better not to touch this white bone coffin indiscriminately until we have completely taken care of me, so as not to cause any unnecessary trouble.
Especially the coffin spirit that is still hidden in the shadows, and I don't know where it is. Since we are coffin spirits, we must exist to protect the coffin, once we want to touch or approach the white bone coffin, we are afraid that the coffin spirit will come out to make trouble.
