I looked around, and the first thing I noticed was four goldenrod nanmu load-bearing pillars that stood around with two people hugging each other, and the top was not visible. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 In the center of the formation of four nanmu, there is a white jade coffin bed about half a person high, and a coffin lies on the coffin bed, which seems to be a jade coffin. It's too far away from the campfire, though, and I can't see it very clearly.

In addition, you can also see that at the four corners of the coffin bed, there is a one-man tall bronze figurine, and four lantern slaves are surrounded by the coffin bed.

When I saw this scene, I immediately understood in my heart. This place should be the backroom mentioned on the planning map.,Unexpectedly,I found it for us by mistake.。

The guards took off their shirts and baked them over the campfire. During this time, the acidic poison that those gold-eating ants left on me and Cassia quickly subsided, and the symptoms were alleviated a lot. From the very beginning, I wondered who this guard was. And just after I helped Cassia with the medicine, I found that the guards had fetched some water and were sitting near the campfire and didn't know what they were doing?

When I walked over, I noticed that he was slowly removing something from behind his ear. I took a closer look and saw that it was actually a layer of skin! The guards didn't seem to notice that I was looking at him, and I could see the whole thing very clearly, he actually tore a layer of skin off his face!

All of a sudden, I was stunned. And the guards, after tearing off the skin, buried their heads in washing their faces, and at the same time threw what they had just torn from their faces into the fire. It wasn't until he had finished this series of movements that he saw me stunned behind him.

It was a completely unfamiliar face, white and pure, except for his eyes, which was almost like two people from the previous guards!

"This is, transfiguration?" I could scarcely believe my eyes. Why did he keep helping us, and suddenly a thought popped into my mind.

"You are the master that Steward Zhang said?"

The man ignored my fuss, he ate something, stared at the campfire in front of him, and said slowly, "You shouldn't come along, this is not the place for you to handle." ”

Later, I learned that Master had actually seen it a long time ago, but he didn't tell me and Cassia Ming. It can be said that this is a plan arranged by the two of them, and Cassia and I have no idea about it, because the two of us are not in their plan in the first place.

As for what the guards tore off their faces, it was actually a human skin mask. The human skin mask could not withstand the blisters, and the mask walked away as soon as the guard came out of the water. And why did he do it? Master didn't tell us why, only said that it was part of the plan.

Cassia and I looked at each other, and this feeling of being kept in the dark was really uncomfortable. And through the conversation with the master, I also learned that during the time when I fled with Cassia Ming, the master and the guards had a very comfortable life, and it could be said that the road was unimpeded, and the planning map was also in the master's hands, where there was a mechanism, the two of them knew it clearly.

And as for why there is a waterway leading to the Backrooms?

Master explained, "It must be a coincidence, I've seen the waterway, it's actually a mine dug from the north, leading to the Backrooms. I don't think even the people who built the tomb at the time didn't know that there was such a mine under the tunnel, and it saved your life by accident. ”

In other words, if it weren't for this coincidence, Cassia and I would probably have been trapped in that stone chamber.

At this time, the guard sitting on the side suddenly asked, "Why is this knife in your hands?" ”

He asked about the knife I had pulled from the newt, and I said it was from the dead body in the darkroom. Cassia glanced at it and asked rhetorically, "What?" What's so strange about this knife? ”

The guards nodded, saying that it was a "golden stabbing knife", a tomb knife unique to tomb robbers in the gate.

"Is there a tattoo on the man's right wrist?"

Cassia was stunned and turned his head to look at me. I smiled bitterly, and my heart said how do I know this? The situation was critical, and who would have noticed that? He shook his head at the guards and said, "I don't know about this, I didn't have time to take a closer look at the situation at that time." What does this do, you ask? ”

He stared at the knife in his hand and didn't answer me. But when I looked at his expression, it felt as if something was going to happen. Master asked him if he had found anything.

The guard replied, "Looks like they've found the entrance." We can't wait any longer, we have to go right away. ”

I didn't understand most of his words. Who are they? Is there anyone ahead of us? But this is already the last part of the entire dungeon, and if someone is ahead of us, then the encounter should happen here. And what does he mean by "entrance"?

Cassia and I were confused, but Master apparently understood, and hurriedly beckoned us to hurry up and get dressed.

After a quick tidy-up, the guards took the lead, and several people walked in the direction of the coffin bed. I asked Master, did the plan record the situation of the Backrooms mechanism? If there is a mechanism, we will prepare in advance so that we will not step on it by mistake.

Unexpectedly, the master shook his head and said that he didn't know. He could only partially understand the code words on the plan, and he wasn't sure if there was a mechanism in the backroom, so it was better to be careful.

The guards lit the lamps around the coffin, and now they could see it very clearly.

It was indeed a jade coffin, and four bronze figurines holding gold plates stood around the coffin. In addition, behind the coffin bed is also enshrined a one-person-tall dragon tree jade. The jade muscle of the entire tree jade showed a mixture of red and white, and a strangely shaped jade dragon hovered over the tree jade.

When Cassia saw the jade coffin, his eyes widened. As soon as I saw that something bad was going to happen, I hurriedly persuaded him.

"You take it easy, maybe the mechanism is on this coffin, I don't want to be killed by you," I saw Cassia feeling around on the jade coffin, nervous, for fear that he would cause trouble again.

Cassia lay on the coffin bed, staring at the jade coffin with his eyes, and muttered in his mouth: "Creation, I really found it." Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, this legendary treasure really exists. His expression was as if he was stunned, and he was completely attracted by the jade coffin.

But I can't see any doorway on the side, is there anything special about this jade coffin?

I circled around the coffin bed, and the jade coffin showed a round milky white luster, I don't know what kind of jade it was made of, it was probably the best Nanshan white jade. The jade coffin is smaller in size, and it looks particularly empty on the huge coffin bed. However, what makes me feel strange is that there is only a "coffin" on this coffin bed, but there is no "coffin". At the beginning, I felt that something was wrong, the coffin can be said to be the face of these superior people, a symbol of their status, for example, it is recorded in the "Book of Rites" that the coffin of the Son of Heaven is fourfold: the coffin of the water and leather is three inches thick; also coffin one; Azusa coffin two. The princes and scholars are threefold, two, and one. In addition, even the thickness of the coffin is clearly stipulated, the coffin of the Son of Heaven is eight inches thick, the coffin of the doctor is six inches thick, and the coffin of the common man is only allowed to be four inches thick.

But the jade coffin in front of me was completely unexpected, and it was so blatantly placed on the coffin bed, so it had to make people suspicious.

I was worried that there was a hidden mechanism on this jade coffin, so I said to Cassia Ming: "I think this jade coffin is wrong, you better not touch it." ”

But Cassia couldn't listen to anything at this time, and he casually asked me, "What's wrong?" ”

I told him about my concerns, but before I could finish my sentence, he smiled, and seemed to be completely unconcerned.

"You still have too little knowledge, this is not an ordinary jade coffin, you don't need those things at all, those things will limit the efficacy of this jade coffin."

I didn't understand for a while, and Cassia said: "I only understand now why Liu Wanshan is desperate to keep this mine." It turned out that he was playing this abacus. ”

I was so anxious that I said could you say something happy?

"Don't you see, what kind of jade is this?" Cassia asked me rhetorically.

Seeing that I shook my head, Cassia said: "This is not an ordinary jade, it is an extremely rare jade-ginseng jade." ”

"Samyu?"

I muttered, but wasn't impressed.

Cassia nodded and said: "It was recorded in the "History of Lingnan Jade" that in the twenty-fourth year of the First Emperor, there was a strange jade in Nanyang. The books record it as 'ginseng jade', and the locals call it 'jade fetus'. This kind of jade is extremely rare, jade history records, ginseng jade is also known as 'jade ginseng', absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, three points into jade, seven points into ginseng. It is said that ginseng jade has the effect of reviving the dead, and the warlocks of the previous dynasty used it as a primer for refining the elixir of life, and in later generations, they even took it directly to seek immortality. I heard that Qin Shi Huang's favorite concubine was the seventh princess Xiong of Chu State, Xiong unfortunately died early, Qin Shi Huang ordered the craftsman to make a pair of phoenix coffins from the ginseng jade paid tribute by the Dian people, to bury this concubine, hoping that she could use the ginseng jade to bring the dead back to life. ”

"I didn't expect that there is also a ginseng jade coffin here, which is really an eye-opener."

After I heard it, I felt that it was not very credible, rumors are rumors after all, if this ginseng jade is really so evil, don't say it far away, just talk about it. If he can really come back to life, then he should be a big living person lying in the jade coffin now.

When Cassia saw that I didn't believe it, he said, "Don't believe it, it's really possible." As far as I know, the age of ginseng jade should be distinguished according to its color, and the older the year, the higher the saturation of the jade ginseng, and the fuller the jade skin and color. But look at this jade coffin, it has begun to turn white, what does this mean? ”

I was stunned by what he said, and I couldn't react a little, so I reasoned according to his meaning: "Could it be that this jade coffin is also a fake?" ”

Cassia immediately gave me a roll of his eyes and said with a disgusted face: "What a fake, I'll tell you." The only explanation for this phenomenon is that from the burial to the present, the corpse in the jade coffin has been constantly absorbing the essence of the jade. Perhaps, now the coffin is really a living person, and the old man is now hiding inside, eavesdropping on our brothers. ”

I got goosebumps and felt sick when he said it, and I hurriedly told him to shut up. What a mess, for such a long time, the corpses have long been bones, still alive, starving to death.

Cassia saw that I was frightened enough, and after mocking me a few words, he continued: "But then again, since this thief can even use the jade coffin, his status is definitely not ordinary. In my opinion, the personal objects in the coffin must also be treasures. No, this trip can't be in vain. ”

The master stopped him and said, "Why don't you kid have a long memory at all?" It's not enough trouble, isn't it? ”

After being scolded by the master, Cassia suddenly became much more honest, I followed behind to steal fun, and the guards on the side were silent, staring at the jade coffin and not knowing what they were thinking? To be honest, such a rare jade coffin is placed in front of me, and I am also tempted. But along the way, I have been frightened by the institutions in this underground palace.

And I always feel like it's not going to be that simple. There are so many traps in front of you, how come you get to the most critical place, but there is no movement at all? This is unreasonable, this jade coffin is so blatantly placed here, there must be a problem.

Could it be that this is a decoy?

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that the situation was not good, and I was about to persuade them to retreat first, when the guard suddenly made a gesture of silence. I was taken aback by his movements, and all the way down, before I knew it, I had begun to feel that this man's way was unfathomable, and that he could not ignore his words. As long as he makes an unusual move, there must be something going on.

I instantly became nervous and whispered to him, "What's the situation?" ”

At this time, the master pointed to it with his eyes. When I looked up, I froze.

I saw that above our heads, it was originally pitch black and we couldn't see anything, but at some point, countless pairs of blood-red eyes suddenly appeared! All of a sudden, I almost suffocated by an extremely strong sense of peeping, and I didn't notice at all, what did these things appear?

Cassia also noticed the change above his head at this time, his face changed, and he immediately panicked.

"It's broken! It's the mountain hair, and this place is their old nest! ”
