Chapter 80: The Quadruple Coffin

There are no direct and effective clues, sixteen seemingly identical paths, one by one, obviously unlikely, although the organ of the upper passage has not been blown up, but the chess game can still be walked, which also shows that the mechanism below is relatively independent, and if you walk in rashly, you must be nine deaths. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The only option at the moment is to open the museum, hoping that the shadow on the mural will take us out of this ancient tomb that has been sleeping for thousands of years.

After a lot of tossing, everyone has not rested for a long time, I had a nightmare on my stomach on the chess piece, I was also a little tired, after a simple rest, I ate some dry food, drank a little water, and nourished my spirit.

The fat man and I were about to go up and open the coffin, but before opening the coffin, Emma found a stick of incense from somewhere and put it on top of a yellow one.

The fat man laughed at her superstition at this time, which caused Emma to roll her eyes.

Underneath the giant coffin was a large cage, and although we didn't know what it was for, it really brought a certain degree of difficulty to our work, and we had another argument about whether to put the cage or the coffin first. In the end, we decided to put the coffin down, so that when it landed, the cage would at least act as a cushion.

Each of the eight chains is the thickness of an arm, and all of them are made of stone, which have not been destroyed for thousands of years, and it is not easy to break it, so the fat man and I knocked it for half an hour, and it took a lot of effort to break one.

I was about to turn around and smash the next one, but I didn't climb far, I felt the ground shake, and the chain began to shake violently, and the two of us hurriedly grabbed the chain and didn't dare to let go, it was five meters high from the ground, although it didn't necessarily hurt us, it still really shocked us.

Emma shouted below, "Be careful, one of the eight chains is broken, you have broken the balance here, and the seven chains cannot bear the weight of the coffin, and they are about to break." ”

When I heard this, the fat man and I were all crying in our hearts, why didn't I expect this, knocked one off, and then told me that there is actually its own balance here, if we just stand on the coffin and fall straight down, it is really enough for us to drink a pot, seeing that the remaining seven chains are about to be unbearable, shaking more and more, at this time to jump, maybe also have to be stoned to death by the chain.

At the last moment, I said to the fat man, "Jump on the rope of the cage." ”

The fat man did not stop at all, jumped and jumped, I followed him closely, and following the chain, the two of us climbed to the nearest position to the crowd, and the moment we jumped out, the chain that tied the coffin could no longer bear the violent shaking, and broke off with a brush.

We only heard a loud noise behind us, accompanied by a click, followed by a second loud noise, for fear of being hit by those chains, we subconsciously hugged our heads and lay on the ground, and waited until all the sounds were over, and only stood up for a long time.

Everywhere the tactical flashlight went, it was dusty, but fortunately, with a gas mask, it was not possible to choke.

When the dust settled, I counted the number of people again, after all, it was just one person, and now I had lost two, and no one wanted to see someone die. Except for Li Guohua, who was slightly injured, the rest of the people were fine.

The fat man said to me, "Old Zou, why is this coffin so hard?" The cages were smashed, and the coffins were still like that. ”

I said: "This is not called a coffin, this is a coffin, the coffin is inside, and the outside is also called the outer coffin, in ancient times, only people with a very high status died before they were buried in a coffin, it seems that the owner of this tomb should be the king of this small Wan country." ”

The fat man said: "This ancient person is too particular, and he is divided into three, six, nine and so on when he lives, and he doesn't forget to be awesome when he dies." It's cheap for us now, let's do it, the old guy's coffin is so big, there must be a lot of treasures in it. ”

With that, the fat man and I walked into the coffin with tools. I don't feel that it fell on it, it fell to the ground, even if it is not counting the cage that was smashed below, the coffin has to be one meter six high, I looked around but did not find a place to open the museum, the whole coffin is very tightly sealed, like a large complete adobe brick, small gaps, and the sapper shovel can't help it at all.

The fat man was an anxious man, and he couldn't find a gap, so he simply threw the sapper shovel in his hand and began to rummage through his bag, and I knew that this guy had to use rough violence again, so I said to him: "If you take explosives, we should not open this coffin, and if you blow it up, there will be nothing in it." ”

As soon as Gu Tong heard that I said that the fat man wanted to take explosives, he quickly stopped him and said: "I can't help it, I can't help it, these are all cultural relics, falling from such a high place is already serious damage, and you still use explosives, then I'd rather not go out." ”

The fat man was angry and funny when he heard it, and scolded: "You nerd, when did I say that I was going to use explosives, fat man, I just wanted to find saliva to drink, how can you listen to the wind and rain, and you have no opinion at all." But if you really don't want to go out, when we go out, don't follow. ”

Where did Gu Tong know that the fat man was looking for the bottom of the stairs, if I hadn't stopped him, it was estimated that the explosives would have been in his hand at this time, and when he saw the fat man say this, he thought that he was wrong to blame him, and even said that it was good, that was good.

didn't take the second half of the fat man's sentence at all, and asked him not to go out and listen to it.

I sighed in my heart, this is our country's intellectuals, nerds, always academics are more important than everything, in the face of academic research, any difficulties have to make way for them, otherwise how can we develop from a poor and white socialist country to today make the European and American powers jealous. But this kind of person is both respectable and pathetic in my psyche.

A person who only knows academic research all the year round and doesn't even care about life, will he still care about life? Life is short for decades, is it really worth giving up too much of your own happiness for the sake of these so-called academic research? But then again, I'm not, it's just that we have different things to ask for, and we are on the same path.

Unable to use explosives, the fat man sat on the ground very helplessly, took off his gas mask, lit a cigarette, and smoked it. The outer layer of this coffin is rammed with rammed earth, the hardness is comparable to concrete, when I was in Yunnan, I and the fat man had already seen it, at that time it was because of Yunnan's unique sour fruit - Duoyi fruit, but now we are in the hinterland of the desert, everywhere there is no grass, where there will be sour fruit.

When she was at a loss, Emma whispered to me: "We can take directional blasting, this coffin has a lid on it, but it is more tightly sealed, and the coffin will be opened naturally by directional blasting on four sides." ”

I've thought about this method too, but the nerd of Gu Tong will definitely not agree, I squinted at Gu Tong, Emma immediately understood what I meant, nodded and said, "Gu Tong will be handed over to me, you just blow it up, it's a big deal to knock him out." ”

I told the fat man the result of my discussion with Emma, and the fat man was about to speak, and Emma called Gu Tong aside, as if discussing something, and was chatting happily, when I saw her right hand raised, and coldly slapped Gu Tong's erect neck, and Gu Tong was defenseless and paralyzed. I watched it with the fat man, and couldn't stop admiring, women are easy to do things, and it really taught us a lesson what is a beauty trick.

Emma put the fainted Gutong on the ground, turned to see us looking at him whispering, and said, "Why don't you do it quickly, look at me." ”

I hurriedly agreed with the fat man, turned around and hurriedly went to find explosives and ****, I have experience in engineering I am no stranger to directional blasting, after a simple calculation of the coffin, after estimating the amount of explosives, I and the fat man placed explosives on four points, inserted ****, and then let the fat man go to the unconscious Gu Tong on his back, and took everyone to hide in the dark passage.

I followed, and when I pressed the opening of the museum in my hand, I only heard a bang, which echoed in the cave for a long time.

When we came back, the gap in the lid of the coffin was large enough to accommodate a fist, and the huge coffin board was slowly opened with the combined efforts of the five of us.

A mahogany coffin was revealed, carved with a phoenix relief, only a little smaller than the outer coffin, and still very huge compared to ordinary coffins.

The fat man sighed, "Oops... Lao Zou, do you think this king will be a giant, the coffin is so big. ”

I said, "Don't you want all this to be treasured?" ”

The fat man shook his head again and again, saying that it was better to be a baby, and not to be a giant. The two of us took the sapper shovel to open the mahogany coffin lid, and at the same time, one after the other, pried out the coffin board little by little. The thickness of the coffin board is more than seven inches, and the solid wood coffin board is also unusually heavy, but after the opening and closing, it is not as we imagined, it is a giant, or a pile of treasures, but there is a coffin lid.

The color of the lid is still red, but it is more bright red than the outer layer, and it is also carved with a phoenix relief, almost exactly like the one carved on the front lid.

The fat man and I both looked at Emma suspiciously, and she said: "The coffin of the ancient Son of Heaven is divided into four layers, generally speaking, the first is animal skin such as buffalo skin, the second is basswood, the third is catalpa wood, and the fourth is the coffin, the first weight here is rammed earth, which is stronger and more durable than the buffalo, and the second and third layers have hardly been seen, can it be said that he has a fourth layer?" ”

I said, "Hasn't Xiaowan always been under the jurisdiction of the Central Plains Dynasty?" Isn't it a transgression for them to do so? ”

Emma said: "The 36 kingdoms of the Western Regions were relatively independent, and in ancient times they were not subject to centralized power, and they were only nominally subordinate to the Central Plains Dynasty, and they also began when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established the Western Regions Protectorate. In essence, they still belong to an independent dynasty. As far as the funeral system is concerned, if it is really a small bowl of monarchs, it is not considered to be overstepping. ”

The fat man said, "You are so wide that you don't know who it is when you open it." ”

I nodded, and asked everyone to check the gas masks, and asked the fat man to put on the unconscious Gu Tong, the coffin was sealed so well, and the corpse accumulated a lot of corpse gas in it, we still had to be careful, if the gas mask was not brought properly, it would be worth the loss if the corpse gas was inhaled.

Everything was ready, the fat man and I each took one head, and took the sapper shovel to pry open the last layer of the coffin lid, and as the coffin lid opened, everyone held their breath, waiting for the mystery to be revealed.

The fat man and I saw through the gap and followed the light of the tactical flashlight to see the situation inside, and we were all taken aback, there was a female corpse lying straight inside, yes, it was a female corpse, and it looked like Emma's imagination was abnormal, it was simply carved out of a mold. The surface of the female corpse was covered with a thick layer of glass, and the people standing on the side were stunned when they saw the two of us, and they wanted to come over to see what was going on.

I hurriedly cleaned up the fat man, and with a bang, closed the lid again.

Emma cried out, "What the hell are you doing? What are you doing with it? ”

After that, I was going to come over and grab the sapper shovel in my hand, and I dodged it in a flash, and the fat man came behind me at this time, and whispered to me: "I said that this girl is wrong, I didn't expect it to be a thousand years of female ghosts, no wonder it is so superstitious, the remnants of feudal society, we have to do the right thing for heaven." ”

The more I think about it, the more wrong it becomes, how can this girl think so much about the ancient corpse in the weird, and know so much about us so weirdly, could it be that this girl is really a thousand-year-old female ghost, and she brought us here just to find her body? And then leave us all here to kill together, raise enough yang, and live like a normal person? Then it's no wonder that she tried her best to knock Gu Tong unconscious and create an opportunity for us to open the coffin.

But when I think about it, I feel that it's wrong, I've been in the desert for so many days, and I've been exposed to the sun for those days, and I haven't seen her fly ashes and annihilate, it shouldn't be a female ghost. For a while, the problem became a bit complicated, and I felt like I had to get a little out of my head.

While intentionally or unintentionally pressing his hand on the coffin board, he casually asked, "Hmm... This one... Miss Duan, do you think it's possible that this king is a woman, not a bad old man? ”

As smart as Emma immediately guessed what I was saying, she wondered, "What do you mean?" Is there a woman in this coffin? ”

The third child on the side, Li Guohua and Tong Qin were also surprised, seeing that their jaws were about to fall to the ground, I realized that I had missed my mouth, and then explained: "That's not what I mean, I mean, the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions are different from our Central Plains Dynasty, and some countries can not be succeeded by husbands and wives?" And the phoenix represents the queen and women in the Central Plains, is it possible that a woman is the king in Xiaowan Kingdom? ”

Even I didn't believe the words that I had said in the preface, and as I spoke, I kept gesturing to the fat man with my other hand underneath, motioning for him to come behind Emma and tie her up while she wasn't looking. (To be continued.) )
