Chapter Twenty-Seven: Sister Mei
"You hold the ink fountain line, and you can't run no matter what comes out." Xuanzi didn't care if the fat monkey listened or not, and gave the fat monkey the other end of the ink fountain line.
The two lowered their bodies and lay in ambush on either side of the sarcophagus, Xuanzi gestured at the fat monkey, and the two of them pushed open a crack the size of an arm with all their might.
There was a black hole in the sarcophagus: "No matter, die early and live early." The fat monkey didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and looked inside with a flashlight.
took a look at it, "Hey, Xuanye, what kind of bug is this?" It's so ugly. "I saw that the sarcophagus was crawling all over
As soon as Xuanzi heard the fat monkey's words, he also glanced inside, "Run." ”
Insects crawled out of the sarcophagus, more and more surrounding the exit, and it seemed that it was too late for the two to run.
"Xuan Ye, what is this?"
"Corpse turtles, eating the flesh of the dead."
"What about the living?" The fat monkey didn't know how much cold sweat he had shed since he entered the cemetery.
"The living don't know, but if you take someone's nest, do you think he will eat you?" Xuanzi picked up the machete and stabbed the corpse turtle that flew over. Fortunately, there are not many mature corpse turtles in it, and they will fly relatively little.
The two of them were back to back, panting for a while, "Fat monkey, do you have a fire?" All the lights here must be lit, and there is still a glimmer of life. ”
"Ah, yes, but what's that?" The fat monkey took out a match and handed it to Xuanzi.
Xuanzi smiled meaningfully at the fat monkey. "Take your clothes off."
"Xuanye, I'm a big man, let me take off my clothes?" The fat man waved his hand while taking it off, preventing the corpse turtle from approaching.
Xuanzi set his clothes on fire and threw them into the corpse group, and the corpses and turtles scattered in all directions, waiting for the flames to recede, and attacked again. The two men were not stupid, and hurriedly lit all the lights in the tomb.
Xuanzi and fat monkey, you look at me, I look at you, there are a lot of wounds from the bite of the corpse turtle on your body. Xuanzi took out a dagger from his pocket and roasted it on the fire, digging out the corpse turtle embedded in the flesh. Looking at the fat monkey over there, he also followed Xuanzi's example, and there was a roar like killing a pig.
The fat monkey looked at the blood hole in his body. "Master Xuan, why is this thing still drilling into the flesh?"
"The biggest hobby of corpse turtles is blood, so you're glad they didn't bite a vein."
The two of them bandaged briefly and sat back to back in the tomb, and the fat monkey thought to himself that there was obviously a panting sound just now, why is it gone?
"You" both said at the same time.
Needless to say, it is already understood that there must be someone in the sarcophagus, and if you don't save people, it is estimated that there will be only one skin left.
The two stood up, and with a sudden force, pushed open half of the coffin lid, and the two looked at the human-shaped corpse turtle pushed inside, because the half of the coffin lid was pushed open, and the corpse turtle of the half sarcophagus exposed under the oil lamp quickly moved to the dark side.
"To save or not to save?" Xuanzi asks for the opinion of the fat monkey, after all, it is the fat monkey's friend who lies inside.
Without waiting for the fat monkey to answer, a female voice came from the sarcophagus: "Help"
Xuanzi saw the fat monkey stunned in place, lit his shirt, and stretched out to the sarcophagus.
Seeing this, the fat monkey pushed Xuanzi away. "What are you doing? Didn't you hear her trying for us to save him? ”
pushed Xuanzi with a grin: "If you don't expel the corpse, you want your friend to die, you don't fucking save it, and you don't want Lao Tzu to save it." ”
Xuanzi walked to the sarcophagus, kicked away the fat monkey with a handful of snot and tears, and pushed the fire into the sarcophagus with a machete.
After about ten minutes of roasting, a bloody man appeared in the sarcophagus, with no skin all over his body.
"It seems that I am lucky, I didn't hurt the major arteries, the gauze that your expedition team asked me to bring in, let's take a look at this." Xuanzi threw the fat monkey a ball of gauze and a pot of soju for his own courage.
The fat monkey stood up resignedly, walked to the sarcophagus, looked at Sister Mei with large and small blood holes on his body, and felt indescribable guilt in his heart, this Sister Mei was only one year older than himself.
The fat man spent an hour bandaging Sister Mei, and he didn't say a word during the process.
Xuanzi looked at the entire sarcophagus and thought to himself, isn't this the main tomb? His eyes were fixed on the sarcophagus, and he nervously ignored an important detail just now, the sarcophagus was smooth as a whole, but there was a moving stone at the bottom of the coffin, not the coffin.
Xuanzi touched the rectangular stone at the bottom of the coffin and didn't move at all, could it be that he was wrong, just a mistake in the process? No, the whole sarcophagus does not have a single seam, and it is definitely not accidental.
"Fat monkey, come over and see what's going on." Xuanzi thought that the fat monkey was the only one who knew about the tomb.
The fat monkey put down Sister Mei, his tears had not yet been wiped away, and he looked at the stone. "Hey, there's a mechanism here?" The fat monkey cocked the dagger, and the stone began to move to the left, and the whole coffin was hollow.
Xuanzi lit a match to confirm that there was oxygen underneath. instructed the fat monkey, "Don't be like a brother and girl, carry your sister on your back, and go down to have a look." ”
Xuanzi was the first to jump down, "Damn, it turns out that the main tomb is here." ”
"How do you know?"
Xuanzi shook the flashlight and pointed to one place: "This sarcophagus is completely white, the hollowing process, and the carving technique will take a few years, or the coffin." ”
A piece of mutton fat white jade and the coffin of an approximate square are placed in the center of the tomb, and the coffin head is flanked by two dragon's mouth night pearls, which seem to rise to the sky. The coffin carries and carves flowers, birds and animals, exquisite. Along the steps below is a single piece of alum stone hewn out. The four square stone pillars of the tomb are inlaid with dragons and phoenixes.
"Dragon and Phoenix Jade Ying coffin?" Xuanzi said to himself.
"What's the use of the dragon and phoenix jade coffin?"
"The coffin of the dragon and phoenix Yuying is buried with a man and a woman, taken from the Taoist theory of yin and yang. If the two tomb owners are born in the yang year and the moon and the sun and the sun and the sun are young, and the woman is born in the yin year and the moon and the sun and the sun are cloudy, and lie in the coffin of the dragon and phoenix after death, the dragon will surely become a phoenix after a thousand years. Xuanzi explained.
"Are there dragons in this world?"
"I haven't seen it."
The fat monkey looked away and saw two trails of drag on the ground, and it was dark again.
"Master Xuan, start work."
Xuanzi turned his head and frowned in the direction pointed by the fat man, there is an abnormal sound in the Big Dipper today, it can't be that this coffin has been opened.
The two walked into the darkness like traces, and found that the end of the traces was behind the coffin of the dragon and phoenix jade.
