Chapter 40: Misplaced Time and Space (Revised Version)
It's a space that overlaps.
The so-called Golden Scale Star Palace is taken from the description of this entrance tomb on the Golden Scale Fragment, and the book says: With the water of the heavenly river and the vast star, the spirit of all things is drawn to overcome all sufferings and rebirth.
I looked at the grasshopper and Jiang Yuan, and then looked at our feet, the crystal stones on the blue-black stone slab were placed at random, and the space was as large as the vast night sky, at this moment, I was 100% sure that we had arrived at the inner core area of the Golden Scale Star Palace, but it was unknown whether this was the main tomb or something else.
Jiang Yuan saw that me and the grasshopper had calmed down, and said: "The atmosphere here is weird, which will make people feel a kind of extreme fear, under this fear, people often can't restrain their emotions, so you should be calm and try not to think about the surrounding environment." ”
I said, "Yes, I've never been so scared, and I'm so scared that you two disappeared just now." ”
The gnats also said: "Yes, just now I saw the boss walking not far in front of me, but no matter how I shouted, he ignored me, I was worried and I was also afraid that I would stay here alone, so I would"
After saying that, the gnats also looked at me, and he took the initiative to reach over, "Boss, I'm sorry, those words are not what I want to say, I swear, I never thought about it that way, but just now, I really didn't know what was going on and blurted it out." ”
I patted him on the shoulder, "I'm not the same, those words came out without even thinking about it, it felt like there was a force controlling my mouth." ”
Jiang Yuan looked left and right and said, "It is definitely true that we are inside the Star Palace now, but we can't see the edge here, but in fact, this entrance tomb of Qin Wanjun covers an area of less than 100 acres, which is about the same as the Maoling Tomb in Shaanxi. ”
When I heard Maoling, I immediately said: "How is this possible, Maoling is the imperial mausoleum of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and he Qin Wanjun is just a general, how dare he do this, isn't he afraid of raiding his family and exterminating his clan?" ”
The gnats said on the side: "Of course he didn't dare, but his descendants and even his allies dared, besides, this Qin Wanjun has no such person in history, but his tomb has been rumored among the people for a long time, and we are in this tomb today, so it can be seen that this Qin Wanjun is just a pretense for being an official in the imperial court, and his purpose is probably even more unimaginable." ”
Jiang Yuan and I both nodded, I nodded because I agreed with this assumption of the grasshopper, as for why Jiang Yuan nodded, I'm afraid it was not only for this reason.
After a few sighs, the three of them sat on the ground in a circle, and then I picked up a piece of hedron, the faint white light always giving people a deep sense of sleepiness.
"What the hell is this, glow-in-the-dark stone, you say?" I asked.
Jiang Yuan was silent, but instead said in a matter-of-fact manner: "It doesn't matter what it is, what matters is what is buried in Qin Wanjun's tomb, and what will make his descendants so painstakingly arranged, is it just the golden phoenix Zhaowen jade that Boss Jiang wants?" ”
In this regard, I chose to listen to Jiang Yuan's statement first, I looked at him sideways, and he happened to look at me at this time, I smiled a little embarrassedly, and said: "What the gnats said is also what I want to say, Boss Jiang, don't mind if there is a sentence." Although the golden phoenix Zhaowen jade is precious, the market value is only seven or eight figures, which still means that there are big buyers, and the remuneration you give me alone is already ten times higher than the value of the jade itself, as a businessman, this account is a loss. ”
Jiang Yuan seemed to have expected that I would ask this question sooner or later, he smiled and said: "There are some things in the world, the market value does not represent its true value, and some things are not worth much, but their value has doubled because of speculation, is it really high because its price is high?" ”
I understand his words, just like some jade pendants in my store, the jade material is not very good, but because of the good craftsmanship of the grasshopper and the fact that some hands and feet have been made, the value of this thing has doubled.
He looked at me and continued, "The reason why I have invited you here is because Yuanyuan is on the one hand, and on the other hand, I need someone who has the courage and a clear mind to help me. ”
I was a little shocked in my heart, it turned out that I was also a "hard to find" talent. He smiled stupidly and said, "It's over." ”
Jiang Yuan suddenly stood up and said to me, "Do you remember the crystal coffin you saw in the Hades Temple before?"
I thought for a moment, and seemed to have some impressions, but the memory was not very real, and I looked at the grasshopper, who was nodding at me at the moment.
"Yes." I say.
"Do you know who the man in the crystal coffin is now?"
I was a little overwhelmed, because I really couldn't remember, and I didn't say anything, and Jiang Yuan didn't ask again.
There was silence all around, and the three of us stood up and looked in one direction, hoping to find a way out, and we were so sleepy that even if there was enough air, we would starve to death.
Suddenly the grasshopper screamed, and at the same time I looked at him, I saw him appear, and two grasshoppers stood in front of me at the same time, one was looking at me with frightened eyes, and the other was expressionless.
I shouted at him and asked him what was wrong, but neither of the two gnats responded to me, and at this moment, Jiang Yuan, who was originally standing to my left, shouted at me: "Brother Fang Zi, be careful behind you." ”
I reacted immediately, and when I turned around, I saw a man standing behind me, his hand gripping my clothes, and then pulling hard, and I felt more dragged out by a great force, so fast and so powerful, that I didn't have any power to fight back.
"Let go of me, it's a person or a ghost." I started yelling.
"Don't talk." The voice is a little hoarse.
"Who are you? Let go of me first, and I'll go on my own. "I was still screaming.
"I'll tell you not to talk."
I was just about to curse when I heard him say, "Here we are." ”
I was thrown to the ground, and one rolled on the spot and got up to see a standard burial chamber in all directions.
The coffin in the middle had been opened, and some of the burial lacquerware was lying on the ground.
"Why are you there?" He asked me.
When I looked up, I couldn't help but smile, it turned out to be the guy who asked me for water.
"Aren't you out? Why are you still here, by the way, what is this place? ”
I threw out three questions in a row, thinking that he would answer me at least one or two, but unexpectedly, he just replied to me lightly: "The young man who came with you, what is your relationship with him?" ”
I thought to myself, where is this, and asked, "What about the young people who came with me, which one are you talking about?" ”
He pointed to the wall behind me and said, "That's it."
I looked back, gasped a few times before I came to my senses, looked back at the little brother in horror, and said, "You, are you a human or a ghost?" ”
