Chapter Twenty-Three: The Mummy

I don't know how many bends there are in the passage, and we just walked into it without stopping, but these walls were made of yellow sand and stone on all sides, and occasionally rubbing the walls would be pinned by the protruding stones on the wall. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

We didn't pay attention to the top of our heads all the way, and it took us a few minutes to look up and go to the top of this passage, and this look up almost didn't scare our souls, only to see that there were coffins stuck on the top of this passage, one after another, and the upper part of the entire passage was completely built with coffins.

The crow was already stunned when he saw those coffins, and said timidly: "Why don't we go out, it's too mad here." ”

Wang Dashan didn't care much about the crow's situation, and we all understood that there would inevitably be huge mental pressure in this first fight, and the crow had never seen this situation, the previous few rotting corpses and those natives had scared him half to death, not to mention that there were coffins in the entire passage first.

It is said that the burial method of this Loulan ancient country is also somewhat similar to that of the Han Dynasty, if the coffin on the top of the head is correct, it should be made of paulownia wood, and this paulownia wood does not seem to be produced in Loulan, maybe it was from the Central Plains to the Western Regions.

Wang Dashan walked behind the crows, and began to pay attention to the changes in these coffins at any time, afraid that the coffins above would suddenly fall down and hit his head, and we were the same, these coffins didn't look like they were directly placed on it, if they touched something slightly, it was really hard to say that the coffin suddenly fell down and covered our heads, and whether we could finish this road at that time was another matter.

At this time, Qianyu saw that the crow was still trembling and talking something, and suddenly said to the crow: "If you are timid, you can go out now, it is useless to keep talking here." ”

Although Wang Dashan was mixed with the crow, but when he heard Qianyu say this, he also laughed out loud, and when the crow heard Wang Dashan's laughter, he was not happy at the moment, and said: "What are you laughing at, who said that I am timid, go in!" Wang Dashan had no choice but to cover his mouth, but he could still see that his expression was a little sarcastic, and Qianyu shook his head.

Suddenly, the coffin above his head made a clicking sound, and the crow swore that he was not small just now, and when the coffin board rang, he almost didn't scream, but he just followed Wang Dashan closely.

The coffins did not react further, this clicking sound seemed to be because of the age, so it was the sound of the wood cracking in the middle, as for the crow, after seeing that the sound of those coffins was gone, he also pretended to be bold, and said: "Just now, I just scared you, in fact, I am not afraid!" "It's as if it's true.

We didn't care about the crow, we just looked at him, and Abu made a look of contempt, but now Abu and I are most worried about the second uncle, we are okay, and we can take care of each other when we encounter anything, but the second uncle is alone, we don't know very well what the situation is like there, and I can't help but think of my father and Li Sanyuan outside, including Aliya, and I don't know if they are patiently waiting for us in the same place.

Just when we walked through a few corners, suddenly there was a clang behind us, we are now almost out of this corridor, look back, those coffins all fell to the ground, and some stuck in mid-air, some fell directly to the ground, the whole passage was completely buried by coffins, if you want to get out, it is basically impossible, and this corridor can only pass one by one, but now it is completely impossible to get out.

"What's going on?" When the old lady saw that all the coffins had fallen, she asked.

The young master glanced at those coffins and said, "This should be all designed!" ”

I was also puzzled, and asked, "If it is designed like this, we should have crushed us in it when we passed through the corridor, and we fell off after this passage, is there any reason?" ”

Zhang Yuntian seemed to understand something, and said: "Let you die slowly in torture or give you a happy life, which one do you choose?" ”

"Uh-uh!"

"Feelings: Does the owner of this tomb want us to suffocate in this tomb, or is there something else in this tomb?" I continued.

"It's possible!" The master replied lightly, he took a look at the road ahead, and said, "Don't worry about this, let's go first!" ”

We naturally listened to the master, after the previous Turen incident, even Wang Dashan did not refute the master, as for Zhang Yuntian and Qianyu, as well as the old lady, they all knew it by heart, they all knew that only by letting the master lead the way could they find the dust beads they wanted.

As for the reason why these coffins fell, we didn't bother to do any more, but when we got to the front, there was a half-coffin in front of us, and there was a dried corpse lying inside, and the dried corpse was wrapped in many strips of cloth, completely wrapped in it, and I thought to myself, "Isn't this a mummy?" ”

I saw that the coffin was only half, there was no coffin lid, and there was only half of it left, I was not frightened, except for the crow who was pretending to be calm, the others here did not have any effect, but when I saw this coffin, I was puzzled, and said: "Why is this coffin only half?" What about the other half! ”

"It's a coffin!" The master looked at the half of the coffin and said.

"Coffin?" All of us wondered, "I haven't heard of this canopy." I asked.

"A tree coffin is a tree trunk hollowed out to make a coffin shape, without a coffin lid!" The master explained.

And if you look closely, this coffin is painted, or it is painted in some way, so that it does not rot into a pile when it is dried, and the dried corpse inside, we can't tell whether it is a female corpse or a male corpse, the cloth on it has been densely wrapped, but we can only see a few long hairs coming out of the cloth.

"This is the mummy of the Western Regions!" The master said again, and walked to the side of the coffin as he spoke.

"Didn't you say that this is the tomb of King Loulan, why doesn't this hair look like a man!" Abu asked.

I was also speechless, and replied to him: "Aren't all men in ancient times also have long hair!" ”

Abu smirked and didn't continue to ask, when the old lady heard Abu and me, and said, "Who said that the mummy in this coffin must be the owner of the tomb, although the ancient book says that the king, but the king may also be a woman!" ”

I think of Queen Rob who was found near Lop Nur many years ago, which was also a female corpse, and I told them about this, but the master didn't listen to anything.

Just when we were still discussing the queen of Rob, the master walked over and slapped the halberd on the mummy's body, and in an instant, the shroud on the dried corpse turned into a pile of powder, and at this time, the wind from nowhere blew all the powder clean, and mixed with the yellow sand on the ground.
