Chapter 31: Confusion (2)

As we chased to the tomb door and confronted the two-faced monster baby, the charred wax figures suddenly began to crack slowly from the surface. Based on past experience, nothing good will happen in this situation. I pulled Nangong and ran back a dozen steps, who knows if these corpses will give us another time to scatter flowers.

The others took a few steps back, but instead of bursting open as I thought, the wax figures slowly shattered like eggshells. The skin of the wax figure closest to me cracked the fastest, and the whole wax figure was already covered with large and small cracks.

Just as our eyes were drawn to it, the wax figure's chest suddenly protruded upward, and the part of the chest shattered. A milky white head sticks out, then slowly squirms outward, and in a few moments crawls out of the wax figure.

Looking at this guy who was still covered in slime, I saw that the subordinates of the big white girl had begun to tremble under their feet. However, I was in no mood to laugh at them, because my performance was worse than theirs, and I even had to be pulled by Nangong to be able to retreat, completely incapacitated.

It was a white bug covered in slime, exactly like a giant maggot. This flesh worm is more than a meter long, the thickness of a water pipe, and its whole body is densely packed with folds of flesh. From a distance, it looks like the back of a Shar Pei.

After the flesh worm crawled out of the wax figure, it slowly wriggled in place for a while. When the mucus on its body was gone, it slowly raised its head, its head spinning around like a snake. But it has no eyes or nose at all, only a suction cup at the very top of the head.

This guy doesn't have eyes or nose, and he doesn't know if he can spot us. But none of the things here are normal, and none of them can be inferred by common sense. So I can't think of everything for the best. After this peerless maggot came into the world, the dozen or so wax figures cracked one after another, and more than a dozen identical white flesh worms crawled out of it.

Just when the lean man and the Eight-Nation Coalition wanted to strike first, the first meat worm to crawl out suddenly opened its mouthparts full of suckers in our direction. Its mouthparts were wide open, almost as thick as its body, and I could even see the viscous digestive juices and tissues of various colors in its inner walls.

Before we could react, all of a sudden, the flesh worms were all shooting at us like arrows, and we didn't see how these guys moved, but they pounced on the Eight-Nation Coalition forces in front of me as if they were completely out of gravity.

The few remaining foreigners are all entangled by these meat worms, and if it weren't for the help of the monk, even the big white girl probably wouldn't be able to escape. Nangong and I stood at the back, but we were not affected. After the foreigners were entangled in the flesh, they all fell to the ground and did not move, as if they had been anesthetic.

At this time, the monk didn't have time to save them, and we couldn't care about the two-faced monster baby anymore, so we all ran back in the direction of the main hall.

I looked behind me as I ran, and the flesh worms were crawling towards their heads as they pounced on them. I saw with my own eyes that the meat worm slowly arched open the mouth of a foreigner and crawled straight in. As soon as the flesh worm crawled in, the flesh worm on the man's body no longer continued to pester him, but crawled towards other people. But there were only a few foreigners who were knocked down, and there were only a few meat worms who were not enough to divide the meat worms, and some meat worms that did not get a human distribution began to notice us and chased after us.

They were like jumpers, and each jump could be more than a meter away, which frightened several of us to speed up our pace and run towards the main hall. Luckily, the main hall wasn't far away, and we ran a little way ahead of us, so we didn't catch up with them. However, the gates of the main hall are all grids, and there is no way to prevent the flesh worms from entering.

Seeing that the meat worms had jumped to the gate, the monk led us to the side room on the left and blocked the stone door. There are only two small windows in this side room more than four meters above the ground, and those flesh worms should not be able to jump in. But if these slime-laden bugs can still climb walls, then we guess we'll have to give an account here.

After blocking the stone door, I sat down panting. I don't know why the things here like to burrow into people's stomachs, and if I accidentally get knocked down by those big meat worms, I don't know if they will think I'm too fat and let me go.

Shaking my head to stop thinking nonsense, I began to look at the side room. When I first looked at the past, I couldn't take my eyes off it.

The first thing that caught my eye was the jade coffin in the center of the side room, which was made from a single piece of jade. The whole coffin is carved of jadeite jade, the lower coffin is mainly yellow and red, and the upper coffin lid is a transparent jade.

The value of this coffin can no longer be measured in money. You may have heard of the so-called golden jade clothes, but those are just a large number of small pieces of jade spliced together, and if you want to compare it with the coffin in front of me, it can't even compare to a single corner. But the coffin of Huang Longfei is only very large and rare, and the most rare thing is the coffin lid.

The whole coffin lid is carved from a whole piece of jade, and the coffin lid as a whole has no flaws, and the whole body is emerald green. What's more, the lid of the coffin is so permeable that under the searchlight, I can see the people lying inside!

Before I knew it, I had walked to the coffin, and through the lid I saw a female corpse lying in the coffin, which was so well preserved that it was as if she had just died.

It was a water coffin, and through the lid I could see that the woman's corpse was soaked in a nearly transparent liquid with some unrecognizable lumps of herbs floating in the liquid. The funeral clothes on the woman's corpse were so rotten that only some strips were left on the body, and there were no burial goods in the entire corpse and coffin.

This strange coffin made me a little confused, regardless of the identity of this female corpse, her burial here did not conform to the funeral system of the Ming Dynasty emperor at all. There shouldn't be a corpse in the main hall at all, and if the wax figures in the side room on the right could be seen as an opportunistic protective measure, I had never heard of this coffin being placed so openly in the side room of the main hall.

Moreover, the person who can be buried in Zhu Chun's tomb should have a very high status during his lifetime and is very valued by the king of Shuxian, and the preciousness of this coffin also shows how much Zhu Chun attaches importance to the people in the coffin. But there is no coffin outside this coffin, just a separate coffin placed here, which is too shabby, and it is not in line with the funeral system of the Ming Dynasty at all.

Who could this woman be? According to normal logic, it should be his wife who can be buried with Zhu Chun, but shouldn't she be buried with Zhu Chun? How could it be left alone in the side chamber of the main hall?

While I was speculating, the monk slowly walked to the coffin and looked in the direction of the coffin in a bit of a daze. I looked at the monk and saw that his eyes were not focused at all, and although he was looking at the coffin, he was obviously stunned.
