Chapter Seventy-Four: A Hundred Treasure Bags
As he spoke, the fat man took out a brocade bag from the bosom of the dried corpse, and shook the contents on the ground, trying to see if there was anything of value.
The big gold tooth fell to the ground, his eyes were hooked, obviously he was overly frightened, and before he came back to his soul, my whole body was sore and painful and almost scattered, although I was worried that there were other human-faced giant spiders nearby, but I couldn't leave immediately, and when I saw that the fat man suddenly found a gold talisman from a dry corpse nearby, he asked him to throw it over to show me.
The fat man was busy looking at the things in the arms of the dry corpse, and threw the "touch gold talisman" in front of me, I picked it up and took it in my hand to take a closer look, the "touch gold talisman" was pitch black and transparent, shining with a moist light under the firelight, the front end was sharp and sharp, the lower end of the cone shape, inlaid with several turns of gold wire, made into the style of "through the ground pattern", the talisman body was engraved with the two ancient seal words of "touch gold", held in the hand, felt a trace of coolness, very textured.
This is definitely a genuine "touch the gold talisman", with the sharpest claws of the Chuanshan Jia, first to soak in the mountain in the mountain for 7749 days, but also to be buried in the dragon tower 100 meters deep underground, borrowing the leyline aura for 800 days, is the qualification certificate of the genuine touch gold school captain, this real "touch the gold talisman" I have only seen Shirley Yang has one, the big gold tooth once gave me and the fat man two forgeries, and the real thing is compared, the real and the fake are distinguished.
This "touch the gold talisman" is worn by the dry corpse, can it be said that he is the predecessor of the fish bone temple to steal the hole, presumably he was also trapped in the ghost mound, there is no way out, and finally found the secret of the live bird, want to retreat from the thief hole, but halfway to the same as us, was ambushed by the "black belly", and he was alone, once hit, there is no room for maneuver, and finally died here in a tragic way, thinking of this, I feel very sad.
There are too many dangers in the ancient tombs, in addition to those artificially set up institutions to ambush, there are some unpredictable dangers, many of the excavated tombs are accompanied by the bones of tomb robbers, among which there are some thieves who kill each other, but there are also many captains who touch the gold and die tragically, those ways of death are full of weird and weird, some are actually in the coffin when touching the gold, were stoned to death by the stones falling from the top of the tomb, and some died on the tomb robbers in the ancient tombs, There was not a trace of trauma, and it was not poisoning, what exactly they encountered and how they died, I am afraid that only the deceased themselves know.
The fat man walked up to me with a bag of things in his hand and said to me, "Old Hu, what the do you want, look at what these things are, they are all from that dry corpse." ”
I took the things handed by the fat man, one by one, this cloth bag is like a treasure bag, all some bits and pieces, there are seven or eight candles, two paper lamps pressed into a stack, these candles are worth ten thousand dollars to us, we now have no extra lighting tools except a lighter, I asked the fat man to put away the candles and paper lamps, and then go out of the cave, all counting on this thing.
There are a few old-fashioned German dry batteries in the treasure bag, but there is no flashlight, and there are three small red pills, I saw these pills, and I was taken aback, this is not the secret medicine of the ancient gold school captain, there is corpse poison in the ancient tomb, the former gold school captains have passed down a whole set of secret recipes from generation to generation, develop Chidan, take one before entering the ancient tomb and pour the bucket, you can neutralize the corpse poison in the ancient tomb, but it has no effect on the air that is not circulated all year round, only when the coffin is opened and the gold is touched, and the corpse is in close contact, It is used to prevent corpse poison from invading the body, because ancient times are not like modern times, modern gas masks can even protect the eyes, but the ancient protective measures are relatively backward, no matter how tightly the skin is, the two eyes must be exposed, if the coffin is sealed better, the tomb owner is autopsied in the coffin, and the corpse gas is left in the coffin.
However, it is limited to dissolving corpse poison, and other harmful gases other than corpse poison must be solved by other methods, such as turning on the horn (ventilating the tomb), gas detection (allowing live animals to enter the ancient tomb) and so on.
However, the principle of this drug is to poison the poison, itself also has a certain toxicity, if taken for a long time, it will lead to a decrease in its own bone density, although the impact on the human body is not very large, but it is also harmful and not beneficial, if you do not have to use it, try not to use it.
This red pill, named "Chidan", also known as "Red Qi Miaoxin Pill", is used to prepare what raw materials, has long been lost, this is mainly related to the production of gas masks, some gold veterans are still used to open the coffin first in the mouth with a "Red Qi Miaoxin Pill", and then touch the gold.
There are also a few things in the treasure bag that I can't name, in addition to a simple compass, which is used for positioning, and a saltpeter, which is also known as "ground frost" or "northern earth Xuanzhu" in traditional Chinese medicine, and its properties are "bitter, bitter, warm, and non-toxic." "This is to prevent poor air quality in the tomb, resulting in headache and coma, in this case, use saltpeter foam, inhale a little into the nasal cavity, which can be relieved, similar to the alcohol stink fin effect of Shirley Yang,
When I saw the end, I found that there was still a slender steel wire in the treasure bag, a knife more than three inches long, a small bottle of Yunnan Baiyao, a bottle of brains, and one thing I was most familiar with, the black donkey's hooves in the treasure bag, and then a roll of ink line, the ink line and the black donkey's hooves were used to deal with corpses.
The fat man asked me, "How about Lao Hu, are these strange things valuable?" ”
I shook my head and said: "There are no valuable things, but there are a few things that are not small, from this treasure bag, you can think of the demeanor of a captain who touched the gold back then, this must be the predecessor who stole the cave in the fishing bone temple, and we acted the same, it can be regarded as the same door, but unfortunately died here, I am afraid that it will not be more than 30 years, since we have encountered it, don't let him be violent here, you carry his bones into the fire and incinerate it, I hope he has a spirit in the sky, bless us to leave this place smoothly, he these things, I burned it together. ”
The fat man said: "It's okay, I'll cremate him, but we burned these human-faced giant spiders today, which can be regarded as revenge for him, so the objects in this pocket can be regarded as a thank you to us, maybe they can be taken back to Beijing and sold at a good price in the antique market." ”
I said to the fat man: "It's not okay to do this, anyway, it's not a valuable thing, especially this gold talisman, water and fire don't invade, and it can't be burned, it just so happens that we also need this thing, so you're welcome, the rest is really worthless, there are a few red pills, probably all of them are expired, we can't use them at all, let's let this treasure bag go with its owner." ”
As soon as the fat man heard that there was nothing of value, he felt that the sexual taste was unpleasant, and the dried corpse did not have much weight left, the fat man took the treasure bag of Captain Jin, grabbed the dried corpse with his other arm and left, and when he reached the vicinity of the burning temple, he threw the dried corpse of Captain Jin into the edge of the fire from afar.
I turned my neck, feeling that the abrasions on my body were still painful, but my hands and feet were able to move freely, so I pushed the big gold tooth next to me and asked him how the injury was. Can you still walk?
The injuries on the big gold tooth are similar to mine, mainly abrasions, and the head hit is not light, half conscious and half confused, nodding half-conscious and half-confused, moving the jaw a little, it hurts so much that he breathes in the cold.
I beckoned the fat man back, and the three of them discussed how to leave this cave, and were dragged far away by the "black belly", and it was not a straight line by feeling, twisting and turning, and completely lost its direction, and now I only know that we are in the underground of one of the many hills in Longling, and I can't figure out where it is, and I heard the locals say that under this Longling, it is full of karst caves, but I looked around, and found that the place where we are is not that kind of landform, but a mountain cavity with loess rock structure, which is relatively dry, so it seems that It is a complex landform with a variety of geological structures.
Folklore is mostly about chasing after the wind, and there are often people and animals missing in the vicinity, which may be related to the old nest of a "black belly", and the missing people and sheep are dragged here to eat, rather than trapped alive in a labyrinthine cave.
We now have no food and grass, two no clothes, and no equipment, one more minute delay, will increase the difficulty of getting out, this underground temple is for a huge bronze tripod with a human face, the tripod is used to worship ancestors in the Western Zhou Dynasty, or to record major events to show future generations, it seems that this underground god and the ancient tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty has some kind of connection, it is possible that the owner of the tomb of the ancient tomb of the Western Zhou Dynasty, worshiped the "black belly" during his lifetime, so near his own mausoleum, set up a temple, and raised a nest of giant spiders with human faces, and later his tomb was destroyed, There is no one to feed this litter of "black belly" with slaves, they prey on their own, and reproduce to this day, I don't know if there are any others except these few in the temple, if one or two more come out, it will be enough to kill the three of us.
At this time, the fire was weakened, and by the light of the fire, we could vaguely see that there were more than a dozen caves around it, and we must have chosen a way to go, but we didn't discuss what the result was out of which cave, but I thought that since the "black belly" was going out to forage, there must be an exit nearby.
I asked the fat man to light a candle, and the three of them went to the nearest cave, and put the candle at the entrance of the cave, and I looked at the flame of the candle, and it went straight up, and I said to the fat man and the big gold tooth: "This hole is a dead end, there is no air flow in the air, let's look at the next hole."
After saying that, I and the big gold tooth turned to leave, but the fat man refused to move in the same place, I turned around and asked the fat man, "Will you go?" ”
The fat man pointed to the entrance of the cave and said, "Old Hu, you sniff it with your nose, what is the smell here?" It's weird. ”
