Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Best Jade Coffin
Su Ce and Xu Yuling heard Zhang Ju's shout, and rushed over as soon as possible, the two stretched out their hands, hugged Zhang Ju's body tightly, and pulled back hard at the same time, and after a stalemate for half a minute, it had no effect.
Xu Yuling's mind was in a mess, and she said anxiously: "What should I do now?" ”
Su Ce thought about it and immediately said, "Brother Ju! You hold on, and I'll open the coffin. ”
Without waiting for Zhang Ju to reply, he walked straight to the north of the coffin, tied up his horse steps, stretched out his hands, palms forward, and the two palms were surrounded by golden light.
"Boom...... Bang...... Rumble......"
The coffin flew forward, and a second later, it smashed to the ground, and Zhang Ju immediately said, "Light the lamp!" ”
Xu Yuling took out a candle and match from her bag, and after lighting the candle, she held it high in the air, and the entire tomb lit up at once, except for the coffin in the middle, there was indeed nothing in the tomb.
Su Ce stood up straight, his eyes staring at the coffin in the coffin, the coffin was black and shiny, he slowly reached over and touched the lid of the coffin, which was extremely smooth, like jade.
"This seems to be a black jade coffin, black jade is rare, where did Li Zhongge get such a large piece of black jade?" Su Ce said with a shocked expression.
Zhang Ju's face was a little pale, and he opened his mouth and said, "Hurry up and open the coffin, that thing has already pierced my bones." ”
Su Ce stretched out his hands, clasped the edge of the coffin lid, and lifted it upwards vigorously, the coffin lid did not move at all, he tried twice more, but there was still no movement.
"It's a little well sealed, this is forcing me to use brute force!" After Su Ce finished speaking, he raised his hands, and his palms were already glowing with golden light.
Zhang Ju immediately stopped: "Su Ce! Don't worry, Yuling, you give me the candle, you open the coffin, and Su Ce will cover up. ”
After Zhang Ju finished speaking, Xu Yuling immediately understood what he meant, the Xu family has an ancestral method of opening the coffin, which is a method specially used to deal with the jade coffin.
According to the record of the "Tomb Chapter" in the "Xu Cong's Records", it describes in detail the method of sealing and opening the black jade coffin, which Xu Yuling has long memorized by heart.
I saw her put the red box on the ground, sealed her hands, raised her right hand upward, the red box opened automatically, and she took out a peachwood sword and a purple charm from it.
Su Ce looked at the purple spell in his hand and asked, "Yuling!" What is the purple charm? I've never seen you take it out. ”
Xu Yuling turned her head to look at Su Ce and said, "This is the coffin opening talisman, and the black talisman is called the coffin sealing talisman with his opposite black talisman." ”
Su Ce gave a thumbs up and said, "I didn't expect that your Xu family's talismans still have so many doorways, it's so powerful." ”
Xu Yuling said proudly: "Of course, our Xu family has an ancestor named Xu Cong, who is talented and intelligent, and wrote a book of "Xu Cong's Records" with what he has seen and heard in his life, and these charms were invented by him. ”
Su Ce said with a look of admiration: "If I can pass through, I will definitely worship his old man as a teacher, it's too powerful!" ”
Xu Yuling didn't pay attention to Su Ce, she stood in front of the coffin, her left hand was in the air for a while, and the coffin-opening talisman in her hand flew into the air, he pointed at the charm with a sword in his right hand, and pointed at the red box under his feet with his left hand, and his two fingers were bent back, and a few drops of black dog blood flew out of the box.
The black dog's blood fell on her fingers, her fingers quickly slid from the end of the sword to the tip of the sword, and after staining the entire sword body with black dog blood, her left hand was sealed, and her right hand waved the wooden sword in her hand, and suddenly the sword body glowed with yellow light, and there was some bright red in the light.
Until the entire sword body was glowing with yellow light, she stopped waving her right hand, and immediately pointed upward, and the yellow and red light went straight to the coffin opening charm in the air, and a few seconds later, the coffin opening charm was surrounded by that light.
At the same time, the coffin opening talisman rotated counterclockwise in the air, the speed was a little fast, about two or three seconds later, a charm-like yellow light flew towards the black jade coffin, and after more than ten seconds, the part of the coffin lid and the coffin body bordering was all covered with the charm-like yellow light.
"Up!"
After Xu Yuling shouted, her hands slowly rose upwards at the same time, and the black jade coffin lid gradually rose upward, and at the same time, Su Ce flashed to Xu Yuling's side, and a unicorn cover came out, covering him and Xu Yuling in it, and after a few seconds, the lid broke away from the entire coffin.
The lid of the coffin gradually rose until it was a few centimeters higher than the coffin, Zhang Ju put the candle in his hand on the coffin, then stretched out his left hand and palmed it, pushed it forward, and hit the coffin lid with one palm, and the lid instantly flew away like the opposite side.
"Boom...... Bang...... Rumble......"
The black jade lid fell to the ground, there was nothing unusual in the coffin, and there was no mechanism, and the scene in the coffin appeared in front of their eyes.
Seeing that the coffin was empty, the three of them were surprised, Zhang Ju looked down at his right hand, and saw that his right hand was black from the wrist to the palm, the black was the same color as the coffin, black and shiny.
He was shocked: "My hand is slowly jadeizing!" ”
Seeing this, he finally understood why he felt strange, why he felt that someone had grabbed his wrist.
Su Ce removed the unicorn cover, walked quickly to Zhang Ju's side, looked at his right hand and said, "Brother Ju!" This black jade seems to be alive? ”
Zhang Ju nodded, and immediately said, "Yuling, give me some blood, quick!" ”
After hearing this, Xu Yuling picked up a generation of blood from the backpack and ran over, Zhang Ju took the blood bag with his left hand, and after biting it open, he drank it in a big gulp, and after a few seconds, he drank the whole bag of blood.
Then his already bright red pupils became even redder, a little blindingly red, and he concentrated all the strength of his body on his right hand, and in an instant, the periphery of his arm glowed red.
The red light spread along his right hand to the palm, and after a few seconds, the red light passed through the jade coffin, and the originally black wrist became white and red, and then became transparent, and at the moment when all the black disappeared, Zhang Ju suddenly withdrew his right hand.
Then he stood up from the ground, straightened up, and said to the two of them: "Li Zhongge is also willing to use such a fine jade stone to put it in an inconspicuous tomb, and now we may have to return the same way." ”
Su Ce was a little puzzled: "What do you say Li Zhongge is doing here with such a valuable empty coffin?" Does it make any sense? ”
Zhang Ju explained: "Maybe it's to mislead people, if it's a greedy tomb robber, seeing this jade coffin, they can't control themselves for a long time, and when they hold the jade coffin, they will be jade before they get out of this place, and their final outcome is to kill themselves, here is to confuse the tomb robbers." ”
Su Ce was still a little puzzled, and he continued to ask, "Aren't there still left and right sides?" Not all grave robbers go somewhere in between, do they? ”
Zhang Ju replied: "Maybe we will encounter the same situation when we go through the other two passages, and in this tomb, there will be such a tomb waiting for people to come in any passage." ”
After hearing this, Xu Yuling was puzzled: "In this way, we can't enter the main tomb?" ”
Zhang Ju looked around and opened his mouth to say, "I think there must be an entrance to the tomb here, although it seems that there is no other way out, there must be some kind of obscuring method." ”
The three of them fell into deep thought, and the surroundings suddenly fell silent, only the snorting sound of the candle remained, Su Ce stared at the black jade coffin, touched the tip of his nose with his right hand, and a trace of thought flashed in his mind.
Su Ce suddenly spoke: "Aren't there three walls here? Let's just choose one side to walk through, there's always one side that works, right? ”
Zhang Ju shook his head and said, "No! This is risky, we don't know the situation of this tomb, in case we pass through it, encounter any mechanism or formation, and we will be trapped inside. ”
Xu Yuling was a little anxious and said, "Then what should I do?" You can't stay here forever, can you? ”
Zhang Ju raised his head, looked at the ceiling, touched his chin with his right hand and said, "Let me think about it!" ”
The tomb was quiet again, Zhang Ju looked at the ceiling for a while, and then looked at the surrounding walls for a while, the walls were smooth and finely polished, Zhang Ju was surprised in his heart: "This tomb is also excavated from rocks, with the technology at that time, can it really be done?" ”
Zhang Ju began to be suspicious, and said: "Look at this square tomb, it is more than 100 square meters!" Moreover, the rocks around here are extremely hard, and it is difficult for me to dig such a space and polish it so finely, I estimate that it will be difficult to complete it in decades. ”
Su Ce was puzzled: "Then what Brother Ju means, this tomb is not Li Zhongge's?" ”
Zhang Ju opened his mouth and replied: "It may or may not be, if he occupies the magpie's nest, then the current owner is him, otherwise it is someone else." ”
Xu Yuling asked, "Which one is more likely?" ”
Zhang Ju said: "It's really hard to say this, let's talk about it now when we find the entrance." Let's assume this way, if you are Li Zhongge, and the tomb robbers have already passed the previous mechanism, when you get here, what will you do to prevent theft? ”
Su Ce touched his head and thought about it before replying, "Find a way to let them leave from here, just like the current jade coffin." Or construct the illusion that there is no entrance, and let them find another way. ”
Zhang Ju nodded slightly and said: "Li Zhongge has used both methods, since it is an illusion, we have to find out the truth, let's take a look around carefully, whether there are any organs." ”
After finishing speaking, Zhang Ju raised the candle, and the three of them began to search for it seriously, and after they looked carefully at every corner, there was still no progress, and they reached out and pressed every place on the wall.
Su Ce sighed, gritted his teeth and said, "It seems that there is no way out of this wall, except for the gate, the rest are natural stone walls." ”
Zhang Ju fixed his gaze on the jade coffin in the middle, and what came to mind in his mind, he said, "You say, will the organ be on this jade coffin?" ”
Xu Yuling shook her head and said, "Impossible! It doesn't look like there's a mechanism. ”
Zhang Ju opened his mouth to analyze: "It's because it doesn't look like it, so we ignore it, we only think that the main function of this jade coffin is to attract the attention of tomb robbers, tempt them to come into contact, and then produce jade, so that we are afraid of this jade coffin." In this way, you can perfectly deceive the tomb robbers. ”
After hearing this, Su Ce blurted out: "You mean that the mechanism is on the jade coffin?" ”
Zhang Ju nodded and said, "I can't think of any other place besides here, let's remove the surrounding coffins and see the situation inside." ”
After speaking, he began to act, Su Ce was not idle, the two came to the coffin at the same time, Zhang Ju raised the candle in his hand, and looked at the coffin seriously, he walked from one end of the coffin to the other, and turned around after a while.
Xu Yuling looked at Zhang Ju and asked, "Zhang Ju!" Did you find anything? ”
Zhang Ju raised his head, looked at Xu Yuling not far away and said, "Yes!" This coffin was hewn out of a complete rock, and we had to start with the jade coffin. ”
Su Ce said: "Either we destroy this jade coffin, otherwise the jade is very troublesome, and we can't touch it directly." ”
Zhang Ju vetoed: "No! If we destroy the mechanism inside, we won't be able to open the door to the main burial chamber. ”
Su Ce sighed and said, "It's really a troublesome thing, how is this good?" ”
Zhang Ju stared at the jade coffin, looking at the empty coffin, it was pitch black inside, the black and shiny jade, smooth and smooth, without the slightest dent, he walked over, bent down and stretched his left hand into the jade coffin.
He held the candle, moving inch by inch, his eyes looked seriously, and when he turned to the south end of the jade coffin, he found that in the corner on the left, a button loomed, and it was really a little impossible to see if he didn't look carefully.
Without thinking about it, he stretched out his right hand and pressed it quickly.
"Boom...... Bang...... Rumble......"
The whole tomb began to shake, Zhang Ju's left hand was slightly released, and the candle in his hand fell down and went out, and the tomb fell into darkness again.
His figure flashed, came to Xu Yuling, bent down and took out a candle from his backpack, and after lighting it, the shaking of the tomb stopped, and the three of them gathered around the coffin almost at the same time.
Su Ce's face was overjoyed, and he said excitedly: "Good guy, it's a good way to hide it so secretly, and it's all black." ”
Zhang Ju pointed to the button in the corner and said: "Look at that button, if you are careless, you can't see it at all, it is almost one with the jade coffin, the candle shines on it, and you can't even see the shadow, this design is really ingenious." ”
Xu Yuling looked at Zhang Ju and said, "Zhang Ju! When were you so smart, why didn't I find out? ”
Zhang Ju turned his head to look at him, and said with a slight smile: "When am I not smart?" Let's pack our things and go down and find out. ”
After Xu Yuling snorted, she turned around to pack her things, and after packing up her things, she put them on her shoulders, and then walked to Zhang Ju's side, Zhang Ju looked at Xu Yuling and Su Ce beside her, and handed the candle in her hand to Su Ce.
Then he spoke: "Su Ce! It's still the old rule, you're back! ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Ju jumped down first, and then Xu Yuling jumped down, and after Su Ce looked around, he didn't find anything unusual, so he also jumped down.
The burial chamber continued to fall into darkness, and the surroundings were quiet, until more than an hour later, the stone door in front of it suddenly opened, and the whole burial chamber lit up again, and a group of people walked inside one after another, and after a while there were seven or eight people standing inside.
