Chapter 82: The Fog in the Coffin
"The jade coffin is too big, too heavy, it is impossible for us to loosen the rope, otherwise the jade coffin will fall, not only will the jade coffin be broken, but also the treasure inside will be ruined, isn't it a pity. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info"I immediately vetoed the idea of old K, at this moment, it is unrealistic.
I watched the pangolin lying on the lid of the coffin and observing the four sides of the jade coffin, perhaps already with some eyebrows, so I asked, "Pangolin, it shouldn't be difficult to open the jade coffin, right?" ”
"It's not difficult, the jade coffin is completely sealed, it is a coffin lid sealed with resin glue, as long as the gap is baked with fire, and when the gelatin is opened, the coffin lid is pushed to one end, and the jade coffin can be opened." The pangolin had found the doorway and said to me.
Speaking of fire, in addition to the red-eyed zongzi that will burn with water and start a fire in the Nine Shadows Jade Palace, there are also torches, but from the time I came in to the present, I saw the torches in my dreams, and I never appeared once, as if this Nine Shadows Jade Palace did not exist at all.
"Did you bring torches?" I asked the pangolin.
The pangolin continued to fumble with the lid of the coffin, then shook his head and said, "I didn't bring any torches, but there were a few candles." ”
After the pangolin finished speaking, he rushed down and said, "Hand my backpack up." ”
"You wait." Shangguan Yaxiong walked around the bottom of the jade coffin and took the pangolin's backpack.
I saw Shangguan Yaxiong holding the pangolin's backpack and stretched down the flying tiger claw that he had just removed, and the backpack hung on the flying tiger claw, and I hung it up.
The pangolin took the backpack and opened it, and there were many things inside, which were exactly what the pangolin said he was eating, and there was even a magnifying glass, which he used to identify antiques.
In the end, the pangolin took out two candles, and I also found a lighter, lit the candles, and we each held one and lay on both sides of the jade coffin to start baking the gaps in the lid of the jade coffin.
When the flame approached, there was a special smell of resin burning for a while, but it was inconvenient to cover the sign at this time, and I didn't wear a mask, so I could only endure it.
The flame of the candle was so small that it took me and the pangolin half a day to bake the jade coffin.
"Whew, it's okay!" I think I should be able to open the coffin.
The pangolin nodded, but the problem came again, we had no place to stand, we had to stand on the lid of the coffin, so we still couldn't open the lid.
"Where are we standing?" I then asked about the pangolin.
The pangolin also frowned and looked around, there was really no place to stand on the lid of the coffin, and hesitated: "Or let's walk back to the tightrope." ”
"Tightrope walking, it's too dangerous." I knew what the pangolin meant, he meant that the two of us were standing on a transparent rope that held the jade coffin.
"Dangerous, the tomb robbery is not dangerous, every time it is fatal." Pangolins are not afraid of danger, to put it mildly.
I thought about it, the pangolin was right, tomb robbery is a dangerous thing, and choosing to stand on the rope at this time is also a helpless move, anyway, since the rope can tie the heavy jade coffin, it can also carry the weight of the two of us.
"Okay!" I answered
The pangolin then said, "Let's all go to the head of the jade coffin." ”
Although the jade coffin is not as exaggerated as an ordinary wooden coffin, it still has a head and tail, and the coffin lid is pushed open towards the tail, so we can only start from the head, otherwise the coffin lid cannot be opened.
The pangolin and I carefully climbed down the jade coffin, our feet trembling and stepping on the rope until we were indeed able to step on it, so that the weight of our entire body could be lowered.
"Qin Qi, be careful." Shangguan Yaxiong on the ground shouted at me.
Yang Gang, who had been silently watching us climb up the jade coffin and found that the jade coffin was tied by a rope, also opened his mouth at this time: "Qin Qi, pangolin, be careful, this is high-risk work, don't be distracted." ”
"Yang liar, you haven't been silent for so long, I thought you weren't there?" I want to take the opportunity to relax my nerves.
Yang Gang said: "Don't make trouble, be serious, I'll help you watch it." ”
The pangolin and I stood trembling on a transparent rope, and he and I, including the jade coffin, shook in the air, watching the hearts of the people underground.
"In this situation, how can you make a force?" Shangguan Yaxiong frowned and stared at us.
I glanced at the ground, it was really high, and if I accidentally fell down, I would have to break my bones if I didn't die, and it would be crushing.
"Take a deep breath and adjust your breath." The pangolin is very calm, in his opinion, this is nothing, compared to other deadly zongzi, this is simply ordinary work.
I took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it, but the jade coffin and we didn't stop shaking.
"Open the coffin." A moment later, the pangolin said to me with his hands on the lid of the jade coffin.
I don't think the shaking will stop, at least not for a short time, and I nodded yes, and the coffin is about to be opened.
With my hands on the lid of the coffin, the pangolin and I were each responsible for a corner, and the pangolin said to me, "Push." ”
"Hey-" I gritted my teeth and shouted, the two of them worked together, but I didn't expect the jade coffin lid to move, I was a little surprised, but I immediately understood, the glue roast softened, but there was still a little adsorption, and the jade coffin lid itself was also very heavy, and it took a lot of strength to push the coffin lid open.
And when we pushed the lid of the coffin hard at the same time, the jade coffin and us standing on the rope shook even more, as if they were about to fall, which made me very nervous.
"Steady!" The pangolin almost lay on the jade coffin and said to me, but in fact, he, an experienced tomb robber, was also a little scared, and at the same time he was saying to himself.
I nodded silently, wiped my sweat, and winked at the pangolin.
"Hey-" The two of us pushed the lid of the jade coffin together again, and this time I could clearly feel the lid move.
"It's moving, heh, the pangolin is moving!" I finally saw hope, as long as the lid of the coffin moved, it was no longer difficult to open it.
"I know, be careful!" The pangolin then reminded me that although the jade coffin could see the blurred color inside through the jade coffin, the situation was unknown, and I had to be very careful with this thousand-year-old coffin, because evil things could appear from it at any time and catch me off guard.
The pangolin and I took off the flashlight that had bitten into our mouths, held it in our hands, and almost simultaneously shone the light on the lid of the coffin, moving it to the place where we had just pushed, and at one end of the jade coffin, near the big end of our end, a small gap had been removed.
A cool air came out of it, hitting our chests, and I couldn't help but shiver, and in the light, the fog formed by the cool air was filling.
"Pangolins, what is this?" Although we had come to rob the tomb and had already entered the tomb once, I had no experience in opening the coffin, so I was completely unaware of the fog.
The pangolin flapped his palms to drive away the mist, and then said to me: "This is the jade coffin is too well sealed, completely anaerobic, before the jade coffin is sealed, there is oxygen inside, and those oxygen oxidation reactions with the corpse and the burial goods to form the fog."
