Chapter 21, Opening the Coffin,
Misty incense, that is an almost story existence, in the impression, in martial arts novels, and spy war films often appear this thing, similar to the ancient sweat medicine, Xiaofeng said that it is a strange fragrance, presumably some kind of special formula,
This is a thousand-year-old tomb of a secluded monument, and it is not strange that there is incense here, perhaps it is part of a mechanism in the gossip secret passage. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 I haven't smelled it either, and I don't know if it has any properties other than coma.
After discussing this topic, Lao Ma and I glanced at each other, and the question at hand was what to do next.
Lao Ma said: "I said, Captain Zhou, how to go now?" ”
"We've got to find the monkey first." I said it in a categorical tone.
As I spoke, I used a wolf's eye flashlight to shine on the vast coffin sea in front of me, and the whole space was so silent that people didn't dare to breathe, obviously there was no shadow of a monkey.
The old horse said: "Oh, this difficulty, you look at such a large scale, you don't even know that he is going in that direction,"
I know Lao Ma's intentions, this is a group burial area, basically no oil and water, he is naturally not interested, and I don't know how far this group of burial areas is from the main burial chamber, so Lao Ma's words have the meaning of wanting to give up looking for monkeys and return to the corridor, because it is relatively easy to find the main burial chamber from there.
But I mean very firm, just tell Lao Ma, saying that people saved our lives, and now his whereabouts are unknown, maybe he was killed, and it seems too unrighteous for us to give up like this, empathy, if it were you, you would be sad.
In the end, Lao Ma was told by me, so he had to nod his head extremely reluctantly, and said Okay, then give up his life to accompany the gentleman.
To make a long story short, we quickly agreed, and the rest is the question of choosing the direction, which is really tangled, this is quite a multiple-choice question without prompts, once you go wrong, you will go further and further,.
Thinking about it, I said my thoughts and asked the old horse, "What do you think should be the way to go?"
Lao Ma looked at the vast sea of coffins in front of him again, and replied: "According to the current situation, we can't be too rash, if a big road goes to the center, I am worried that if we go deeper, we will get lost without road signs, then it will be troublesome, so I suggest slipping away." ”
After listening to the old horse, I nodded and said, "Well, I think so too." I guess the monkeys won't be so stupid. ”
The old horse's idea is very witty, if we find that we make a mistake, we can sneak back to the side, if we break directly into the vast sea of coffins, it is estimated that we will follow up the primeval forest.
In that case, there are only two options left, left and right, and I think back to the whole scene where we entered, and I calculated that the center of this dungeon should be in the right direction.
Thinking that I was also a little confused, I said, "Go to the right, it should lead to the center of the dungeon." ”
The old horse said, "Well, I guess the monkey is also walking on the right side,"
After saying that, the old horse shouted "yes" and then jumped to the ground of this group of burial pits first, and then Xiaofeng and I also jumped down, and the feeling after we jumped down was completely different from the scene we saw when we were on it, when we were on it, we were in a high place, with a wide field of vision, and a large sea of coffins in full view, although dazzling, but we could see the general situation. This time, because the height of these coffins and the one-foot-high coffin bed under them are almost the same as our height, so that the limitation of our vision is formed, we can only see a few coffins in the near distance, and we can't see the markers and contrasts in the distance, which means that there is no direction, in this case, we dare not walk into the sea of coffins.
We walked aside, slowly moving forward, the coffins beside us flashed one by one out of the corner of the eye, walked about twenty or thirty steps, the old horse suddenly stopped, I asked strangely, "Huh?" Why don't you go. ”
He shone a searchlight at a coffin next to him and said, "Well, don't you think this coffin is special, why don't you go and have a look." ”
I looked over and found that the coffin is indeed very special, much more gorgeous than other coffins, it should be a golden silk nanmu, which has a very eye-catching pattern carving, the materials of the coffin here are not uniform, most of them are sarcophagi, and a small part is precious wood.
It turned out that Lao Ma saw the precious materials of this coffin and thought that there would be valuable artifacts inside, and he didn't know if he was excited or on a whim, and paid attention to opening the coffin.
I said, "I guess you have itchy hands, you don't want to open the coffin, let me tell you, there is enough coffin here for you to open until next year, we don't need to waste too much time on this." ”
When the old horse saw that it was debunked by me, he paused and said: "Uh, don't say it, it's really an occupational disease, I haven't opened the coffin for a long time, and when I see a good coffin, my mother's hands are itchy, but I'm not a tasteless person, just open this one, just take a look, there is something, if there is not, let's go, ha." ”
I also understood the old horse's mood, so I asked him: "How long will it take to open a coffin?" ”
The old horse tilted his head and said, "Don't worry, it won't take long to look at this head, it won't take more than ten minutes." ”
"Okay, just open this one, and leave when you're done," I said, and the old horse agreed, and walked to the front of the golden silk nan wooden coffin.
Walk closer and look at the pattern on the coffin, in fact, it is more like a strange text, because it is covered with a thin layer of ash, so it was seen as a pattern at the beginning, I also have some understanding of ancient characters, I can see that this is not a seal or a golden script, in fact, it is accurate to say that it belongs to some kind of rune and other things, each has the size of a fist, if Professor Cui in the archaeological team is here, maybe he will be excited, anyway, I have no interest in these (bird characters).
I asked the old horse if he wanted to help, and he said no, so I lit a cigarette next to me and smoked the fog.
Lao Ma first stroked the coffin and said, "Oh baby, such a good thing is worth millions, but it's a pity that I can't take it out, it's a pity." ”
Watching his movements, listening to him, I wanted to vomit when I was disgusting, and scolded in my heart, you fucking drive away, where does my heart say so much nonsense.
After the old horse circled around the coffin, he took out the paratrooper knife, scraped it along the gap between the coffin and the coffin lid, and then called Xiaofeng to help him scrape together, it should be the cow glue used to seal, after scraping the sealant, the next step is the nail step, the wooden coffin lid has rivets to seal the coffin, the old horse climbed on the top of the coffin, saying that there are seven nails on it, presumably implying the meaning of the seven stars in the stars.
The old horse's figure was very bloated, but he didn't expect to be so flexible when he got up from the coffin, and he saw that his fat waist was twisted, and his posture was relaxed and he climbed up.
Then the old horse took out a strange gadget and fiddled with it in his hand: "Hehe, do you see, this is the coffin-opening artifact I carry with me, how about I call it (Tinker Bell), I invented it myself." ”
I glanced at it and turned my head to ignore him, which means you can get it quickly, don't go to the supermarket, I always feel uncomfortable in this place where there are coffins everywhere, to be precise, it is not very cool, I always feel that there is a slight cool breeze blowing people's necks.
Xiao Feng gave him a hand, and after a while, the seven rivets on the coffin lid were pulled out, in fact, the principle of the old horse's small tool for pulling the coffin nails is similar to the corkscrew of red wine, there is a tiger's mouth in front of the nail cap, and a probe rod is connected, and the fulcrum is set on the coffin lid, and the old horse pulls out these rivets one by one like a well, although it looks a little ugly, but the efficiency is not bad.
