Chapter 125: 5-14 A Thousand Years of Calamity
The huge sarcophagus looked like it could fit a dozen people together, and it was carved with illegible runes.
Uncle asked everyone to stand on the same side of the sarcophagus, "Wu Meiniang believes that these runes can kill," he squatted down, fiddled with a few bumpy runes, pressed this, and pulled out that.
"Old thief Li, are you quite familiar with it?"
"It's written in the family book, but in what order I don't ...... Damn, wrong, I'm going to do it all over again, don't interrupt me again, leopard. β
Everyone stopped talking, and the uncle repeated a few more actions and stopped.
The sarcophagus was unresponsive.
"Oh yes! And this! β
The last rune was pressed, and the inside of the sarcophagus emitted "Woo! With a muffled sound, Coco was a little worried that she had touched something, and couldn't help but look around.
"Alright, now it's time to push." Uncle got up, "But you get out of the way, the three of us, go out in the same direction, understand?" β
The leopard snorted in agreement, but the soldier could not speak, and nodded.
"Wait, just in case, cover it up first." The uncle said as he covered his nose and mouth with his clothes, and everyone else followed suit.
The top of the sarcophagus was slowly pushed open, and a low roar sounded in the empty main burial chamber, and the three of them worked together, and the slit under the sarcophagus became larger and larger, and the roar was slowly mixed with other sounds.
"Wait...... Stop! Uncle...... This...... It's thunder, right? The leopard shouted
If you listen to it, even if you stop pushing the stone cover, the low rumbling sound does not stop, it is thunder!
"Don't worry, leopard, let's continue, thunder is mentioned in the family biography, and it will disappear when the lid is fully opened!" Uncle gestured with his hand.
"Then does your family's biography mention the connection between pushing open the sarcophagus and the opening of the eyes of the idol?" Coco asked, standing aside and covering her nose with her clothes.
"What?"
Coco pointed to the sky, and the rest of the people followed their gaze, and the huge goddess statue had half-open eyes, as if staring at her.
"Uncle...... She...... It was closed, wasn't it? The leopard had already been frightened out of a small part of his soul and couldn't help but take two steps back.
"When did it start?" Uncle looked serious.
"It starts as soon as you push the lid."
"Well, probably ......" the uncle thought for a moment and crouched down to examine the sarcophagus.
"There's a mechanism." Coco picked up on his words.
The two of them groped along the side of the stone cover, all the way to the part that had been pushed open under the stone cover, and found a connecting shaft in the inconspicuous corner of the edge.
"Uncle, there is no such thing on this side, asymmetrical, could it be this shaft, the more you push open the sarcophagus, the more the eyes on the other side of the shaft will open?"
"Junzi, take the guy, knock this off!" Uncle said that the army was coming, and with a hard hand, the already unstable joint was broken in two, and the sound of rattling stones came from the muffled groundβ
"Closed!" Following the leopard's shout, the stone statue's eyes really returned to their previous appearance of lowering their eyebrows, and even the dull thunder in the air disappeared.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Dead old witch! Dare to scare Lao Tzu! "The leopard's anger comes from the panic just now.
"Wu Meiniang is scaring the people, this thing is really painstaking." Uncle laughed.
"Who told you to dig people's graves?" Coco was sarcastic.
After a long time, Coco recalled the situation over and over again, why did she break the situation at that moment, why not earlier, thinking about it and always coming to the same conclusion, although the uncle was for what family test, and the other two were for the funeral goods in the mausoleum, and Coco seemed to have no intentions, but she was not without selfishness, a thousand-year-old corpse, not everyone has the opportunity to visit the field, even if it was purely out of curiosity, Coco didn't want to have any forks to break this opportunity, so she waited patiently.
ββββββββββββββββ
Inside the two-story sarcophagus was a rather large wooden coffin, and despite wearing medical gloves, Coco could feel a chill emanating from the wooden coffin.
"Millennial Nanmu," the uncle said, "is still stuffed with non-melting ice." β
"No ice melting?" The leopard is somewhat familiar with the name, "it's the legendary ...... that doesn't melt"
"It's just a liquid, I don't know what substance is mixed in it, the melting point is raised a few points after freezing, and it won't melt in a dark place underground, come, you two stand on the side, and the four of you will lift it together, and move it vertically above your head."
One, two, three!
The first thing to show was a pair of feet, and Coco's mind sounded "poof" as if a small balloon had exploded.
Wet corpses!
After thousands of years, there are still soft tissues preserved! It's just teasing Comrade Xun Keran's curiosity to dissect it!
The planks were fully opened, and the cold air was overwhelming, revealing the entire corpse.
"Welcome to appreciate the essence of our one-day tour of Qianling, Comrade Wu Cao, long admiration, long admiration!" His uncle's excitement led to incoherent speech, he had waited for this day for too long, starting from every time his elders told him those stories from thousands of years ago in his childhood, and after decades of long research, grave visits, and surveys, he finally reached the moment in front of him.
Both the leopard and the army looked at everything in front of them with complicated eyes that were a little surprised and a little scared, but Coco looked from head to foot excitedly, and automatically began to calculate the possible cause of death, visible scars, and so on in his mind.
The leopard swallowed and reached into the pavilion, "Wait! The uncle shouted, "Boy, you are really anxious, and there are still organs!" Give, one earbud per person, cover your ears! β
Although it is inexplicable, based on the fact that my uncle has never cheated anyone, everyone does it correctly.
With the earplugs on, my uncle casually lit a lighter and stretched it out into the inner coffin.
"Eh, don't light the coffin, old thief Li!" The leopard screamed.
Uncle was silent, and the lighter was a little above the inner coffin, getting lower and lower-
ββββββββββ"Ahh
The piercing scream, accompanied by the random tremor of the whole corpse, frightened everyone except the uncle back a few steps, and the leopard took four or five steps back in a row, and sat on the ground.
In this case, just a few minutes also made everyone feel as if it was tens of minutes, and the thousand-year-old corpse trembling and screaming in front of them exuded an evil aura like demonic magic.
After a few minutes, the screaming and trembling strange appearance finally stopped, and the entire main burial chamber suddenly returned to silence, which made people a little unable to come back to their senses.
Uncle's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and he actually smiled, "Frightened? I've prepared earplugs for you and you're scared like this, are you all adults? β
"Your grandma's legs! What are you doing, thief Li! The roar of the leopard sounded on the ground.
"Yes...... Organ? "Coco was a little unsure of what was going on.
Uncle nodded, "The last mechanism to scare the people, if something warm approaches in the low temperature of thousands of years of ice, the sound of friction in the organ is like a scream, plus the echo of this open place, it can scare you out of the soul, if you use ordinary tools to test whether there is a mechanism, there will be no reaction, it must be warm to trigger, for example, the palm of a person is warm, so ......"
"Damn! You said you were going to die early! β
The uncle laughed and took out a strangely shaped gadget from his bag, "You said you named Leopard, but you don't have the courage of a leopard. β
"But I have the speed of a leopard!" Before the words fell, he grabbed his uncle's hand stretched out into the coffin, "What are you going to do?" β
The two stood opposite each other on the side of the coffin, their eyes full of warnings.
After a stalemate, my uncle gave up, "I'm going to take a piece of her finger, and I don't care what funeral goods you want to take next." β
"You're here to ......" Even Coco was surprised by his target.
Uncle squinted at her, "That's right, I'm here to amputate some of her fingers." β
Over the mountains and mountains, taking all the risks, just to come here and help the hated ancestors of thousands of years ago, to ask for a little price from you.
Take a piece of your finger that strangled your own heir back then, just so that you will never have peace.
Who said it, it's not that you don't report it, the time has not come.
You don't need to give an account to anyone for what you do, so you don't need any reason for the so-called retribution.
Coco looked down and found that the left hand of the thousand-year-old corpse was only the index finger and thumb.
