Chapter Twenty-Six: The Crystal Bed

After smoking most of the pack of cigarettes, I almost thought about the things I should have thought about, but I didn't want to sleep yet, and I was about to light another cigarette, but I heard Li Yishan's indistinct voice. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoDid he wake up so soon? I couldn't help but feel happy in my heart, and I looked over when I heard the sound, but I was disappointed, Li Yishan's eyes were still closed, it turned out that he was talking nonsense.

It's normal for people to talk nonsense when they're in a coma, so I didn't pay attention to it, but the more Li Yishan spoke, the more excited he became, and suddenly I found that my name was mentioned in a series of words he said, which had to attract my attention.

Curious, I struggled to stand up and walked over to him. Li Yishan naturally didn't know that I was eavesdropping, and he was still talking in a daze, his tone was almost exactly the same, which made me immediately affirm, he was repeating a sentence, obviously that sentence was very important to him, so that he still remembered it after he fell unconscious.

I listened to it at least a dozen times before I vaguely understood what he was talking about, and if I guessed correctly, he was saying, "As a member of the dragon group, die as the soul of the dragon group, and never betray!" Yang Feiyun, it's too late, come with me! ā€

I'm slightly surprised, Dragons? It sounded like the name of an organization, and Li Yishan was swearing an oath to this organization, but I couldn't figure out what kind of organization the Dragon Group was, because I had never heard of this name. The latter sentence of his was very understandable, and he simply asked me to go with him, and he seemed to be in a hurry.

Li Yishan kept repeating that strange sentence in a daze, and after talking for at least half an hour, he slowly quieted down. Although his words were a little strange, but they really didn't mean much, I smiled bitterly and returned to the original place, sat for a while, and finally couldn't stand the loneliness of being alone, and went to play chess with Zhou Gong.

In a daze, I suddenly heard "Boom! With a loud bang, I stood up from the ground like a frightened rabbit, only to find that the wooden tower that we had opened a gap had collapsed and turned into a ruin, and Professor Zhang, Wu Jian, and Biaozi were standing in front of the ruins in amazement. As for Li Yishan and Tan Jia, they still haven't woken up.

After a careful glance, I found that there was an extra bronze box in the hand of the marker, which was the bronze box held by the monster in the wooden tower, needless to say, the mark had already gone back and forth in the wooden tower just now. Biaozi wiped the cold sweat on the top of his head, and said with palpitations: "Damn, it's really dangerous, if it weren't for my quick hands and feet, I guess I would have to bury that basilisk." ā€

After asking about the specific situation, I realized that not long after the mark took the bronze box, the monster suddenly came to life, and it roared, trying to get out of the gap we had opened. It's a pity that its body is too tall, and it is only halfway out of its body before it gets stuck.

Wu Jian naturally would not miss such an opportunity, and he drew his sword and cut off the monster's head to prevent future troubles. Although the monster's head was cut off, its tail was still whapping, and the wooden tower that was about to crumble was finally destroyed, and this was the scene in front of him.

If the mark is a treasure, he impatiently took out the dagger and pried open the copper lock on the bronze box. When I opened it, God willing, as we expected, there was a silk book inside. The silk book made of silk is preserved quite well, we unfold it to see, there are hundreds of small characters written on it, the font is very strange, a bit like an oracle bone inscription, and a bit like a regular script and a book, although it gives people a feeling of a little weird, but it can be arranged very neatly.

After reading it for a while, Professor Zhang smiled and said, "It's really good, this silk book must mention the most important things in the life of the tomb owner, maybe we can get the answer to all the mysteries from it." ā€

"Assuming our guess is correct, every wooden tower here is a king's tomb, which means that every wooden tower will have a bronze chest inside. If we can take out all the bronze boxes and completely decipher the contents of the silk books inside, wouldn't we be able to get the entire history of Loulan Kingdom? What a great and meaningful thing this is, it is estimated that our name will be recorded in the annals of history for future generations to observe! ā€

Professor Zhang laughed dryly and said, "What you think is quite beautiful, but if you want to leave a name in history, you have to find a way to deal with the evil babies and monsters in the wooden tower first, do you think you can do it?" ā€

There are at least hundreds of wooden towers in this tomb group, and just opening one has brought us so much trouble, and almost all the troops have been wiped out, even if the sign is a bold person, he does not dare to move the idea of opening a second wooden tower.

Putting the bronze box in the baggage, the standard seemed to think of something, and said: "But then again, why is the king of this Loulan Kingdom a monster?" Could it be that monsters are ruling over a group of humans? Is this fucking like words? ā€

Professor Zhang said: "It should be like this, otherwise there would not be a stone statue of a monster in the third layer of the stone tower of the ruins." But what makes me very strange is that before the disappearance of Loulan, there were people in all Chinese dynasties who went to Loulan to do business, and even crusade against Loulan, but why is there no record that the king of Loulan is a monster? ā€

Professor Zhang is right, Loulan is a necessary place on the Silk Road, and merchants from all over the world will pass through there, but why no one knows that the king of Loulan is a monster? This seems a bit unreasonable.

Wu Jian said lightly: "This matter should have been deliberately concealed by the people of Loulan, after all, such a thing is too strange, once it is known by the people of other countries, then it will bring ruin to the Loulan country." Just imagine, a monster that has never been seen before, how many people will be interested, even in this era of self-proclaimed civilization, it is estimated that many people will be interested in unknown species! ā€

I suddenly thought of another question, so I said, "Have you ever wondered why there are no historical materials left in Loulan Kingdom?" I think it most likely has something to do with it. In order to prevent the news that the king is a monster is revealed, the best way is to erase the true history of his country, so that the world will never know that the king of Loulan is a monster. ā€

Professor Zhang said suspiciously: "Your guess is probably correct, but there is one more important thing we haven't figured out, that is, how did these half-human, half-beast monsters come about?" ā€

Indeed, it is a very strange thing for a person to have part of the body of a monster, even in terms of animal evolution. Moreover, even with today's high-tech biological breeding technology, it is impossible to create such a half-human, half-beast monster, so why did these monsters appear thousands of years ago?

Biaozi pondered for a moment, then suddenly patted his head and suddenly said: "There have been many scientists who have proposed that the emergence of life on earth is very likely to be brought by alien civilizations, could it be that those monsters are aliens?" ā€

Professor Zhang shook his head and said, "Don't look at the fact that there are a lot of materials that prove that aliens really exist, but the credibility is really not high. Just imagine, even with the current level of science and technology of the earth, there is no second planet with civilization in the universe, and aliens can not only discover the civilization of the earth, but also reach the earth, so you say, what a terrible stage has the other party's scientific and technological level reached? ā€

Seeing that we did not speak, Professor Zhang continued: "I am afraid that in another 100 years of development, it will be impossible for our earth to raise science and technology to that level. There is a more important reason, even if the life on Earth was really brought by alien civilizations, why did they all disappear in the end, and there was no evidence left on Earth? Therefore, I think that the alien theory is not valid, otherwise, I am afraid that it will not be us humans who rule the earth, but alien civilizations. ā€

Biao Zi was not convinced, he said: "Since there is a civilization on the earth, the vast universe is boundless, there must be civilizations in other places, but we haven't found it." ā€

Professor Zhang nodded and said: "I agree with your point of view, but this does not mean that there are alien civilizations that have reached the earth, these are two different concepts, I hope you can distinguish clearly, don't be confused by science fiction." ā€

If you want to adjust the mark, you can raise the bar, if you are reasonable, he is the least good, seeing that Professor Zhang seems to have a long story to say, this kid immediately excused himself to go to the toilet and slipped away.

Wu Jian was silent for a while, and said indifferently: "Is there a real monster in this world?" Perhaps in the eyes of monsters, we humans are the real monsters. Human beings are like this, whenever they discover something new, but they can't explain it, they will add the word "strange" in front of it. There are no real monsters in this world, there is only our ignorance. ā€

Professor Zhang and I glanced at each other, and from each other's eyes, we saw a burst of astonishment and surprise. Wu Jian is right, human beings are indeed too self-righteous, but in fact, human beings' understanding of the world is far from being thorough, just like those things that cannot be explained, human beings will make up all kinds of excuses to cover up in order to escape their ignorance. But once the truth is discovered, human beings suddenly discover that everything is nothing more than that.

It is naturally impossible to get an answer to the monster matter just by thinking about it, and in this case, there is no point in discussing this topic anymore. At this time, the mark came back, and he said to us excitedly: "Haha, there is a major discovery, do you know, just now I went to detoxify, and not far in front, I found a bronze tripod." ā€

Professor Zhang said a little boredly: "What's so strange about a copper tripod, is it worth making such a fuss?" ā€

Biaozi pretended to smile mysteriously: "The bronze tripod is naturally not strange, the strange thing is that there is a big hole in the ground under the bronze tripod, I used a flashlight to shine carefully in it, and found a crystal coffin below, don't you say it's strange?" ā€

Crystal coffins? The three of us couldn't help but be taken aback, and Professor Zhang said, "Isn't the tomb of the Loulan people the tomb of the sun?" How could there be a crystal coffin, it seems a little unreasonable, are you sure you read that right? ā€

Biaozi patted his chest and said: "I swear to Chairman Mao, what I said is true, if you don't believe it, you can see it yourself." ā€

Follow the mark towards the depths of the tomb group, about a hundred meters, and a bronze tripod appeared in front. The bronze tripod is a regular four-legged tripod, with two tripod ears on it, and the tripod is as smooth as a wall, without carvings or anything like that.

The bronze tripod is at least four meters high, equal in width and length, and is three meters away. Da Ding's four feet were tied with a wrist-thick iron chain, and the other end hung down in a large pit of about two meters, as if something was locked underneath.

We bent our waists under the big ding, and used a flashlight to shine into the big hole, and found that the space below was very large, like a bottomless huge pit. The sign was right, and at a depth of about fifteen meters from the entrance of the cave, a glittering crystal coffin appeared, and the four large iron chains were attached to the crystal coffin. There was a black shadow inside the crystal coffin, judging from the outline, it should be a corpse, but I don't know if it was the kind of monster with a human head and a snake body.

Biaozi was very interested in the crystal coffin, and said to us: "The people of Loulan use the sun tomb, and there must be a problem with a crystal coffin being hung in a deep pit." Seeing that we were all pondering, Biaozi continued: "The bitter master in this crystal coffin must not be simple, or I will go down and take a look first, maybe there will be a major discovery." ā€

Professor Zhang said a little worriedly: "There is no bottom down here, if you accidentally fall down, don't expect to come up." Besides, the entire crystal coffin is locked with a large iron chain, how to open the crystal coffin? ā€

Biaozi took off his baggage, looked in it for a while, and then took out a hammer and a drill, and he said with a smile: "Don't worry, with these two guys here, I can definitely open the crystal coffin." ā€

Seeing that he insisted on going down, we couldn't help it, but told him a few words, if he felt that it was dangerous, he would climb up immediately. Wu Jian said suddenly: "I always feel that there is an extremely dangerous place below, just in case, I should go with him." ā€

As long as he can go down, he doesn't care who will follow, rubbing his hands excitedly, he slid down the thick chain. Wu Jian left the burden on it, only took the bronze sword with him, and also slid down.

They soon arrived at the crystal coffin, and because of the movement on it, the whole crystal coffin was shaking, which made people feel very unsteady. After a careful look, the mark was selected, and the hole was started on the crystal coffin.

It took a lot of effort to knock and knock on the top of the crystal coffin before the mark pierced a hole the size of a head, but the crystal coffin is a fragile item, and there have been several cracks on it after he tossed it so much, I am afraid that it will be broken all at once.

The sign shone a flashlight in the hole, seemed to see something very incredible, took a sharp breath, looked up at me and exclaimed: "Old Yang, guess what I saw in the crystal coffin?" ā€

I said angrily: "What else can it be, it must be the corpse of a monster, could it be that it is still the ancestor of your family?" ā€

The sign "Phew! Several times, he said: "What nonsense, I solemnly tell you, the guy in the coffin is a red-haired monkey, you should always be able to think of something at this time, right?" ā€

Professor Zhang's face changed, and we guessed in unison: "Could it be a water monkey?" ā€

Biaozi nodded, but said with some confusion: "But this guy is a little different from the water monkey, that is, there is no air bag in the neck." ā€

Professor Zhang was silent for a while, and then analyzed: "It is not surprising that whether there are airbags or not is related to the environment in which they live. But now it seems that the bone artifact obtained in the underwater nest, the Shanshan recorded above, really refers to Loulan. You take a closer look inside the coffin to see if there's anything else. ā€

Biaozi agreed, and then looked inside the crystal coffin again, and after a moment, he looked at it with a happy face, and said to us: "There is a bronze box inside, exactly like the one we saw in the underwater lair, but it is larger than that one, and there is nothing else." ā€

After the mark finished speaking, he stretched his right hand into the hole, touched it for a while, and finally grabbed the bronze box, but when he was about to take it out, his face suddenly changed, and he exclaimed: "It's not good, the guy inside has reacted." As the mark spoke, his right hand shrank sharply and he took it out of the crystal coffin, but fortunately, the bronze box was also brought out by him in time.

At this moment, the crystal coffin shook violently, and Biaozi and Wu Jian didn't dare to hesitate at all, and immediately grabbed the rope ladder and began to climb up quickly. At the moment when they climbed the rope ladder, the crystal coffin below shattered violently, and a huge monkey with red hair jumped into the air, grabbed an iron chain, and quickly crawled towards it.

The water monkey was extremely fast, and in three or two clicks, he caught up with them, stretched out his thick claws with sharp nails, and swept towards the Wu Jian at the bottom. Wu Jian didn't look back at all, just by the sound of the wind, he knew that the water monkey's attack was behind him, and he swung the bronze sword backhand to slash it with a sword, just on the claws of the water monkey.

The bronze sword was extremely sharp, and the water monkey's arm was immediately cut off, and black corpse water flowed out. Wu Jian's face turned cold, and he swung his sword again, but his sword did not slash at the water monkey, but slashed at the iron chain that the water monkey caught. All I heard was "Bang Bang!" With a crisp sound, the wrist-thick iron chain flashed a spark, and it was cut off by the bronze sword. (To be continued.) )
