Chapter 117: The Ghost in the Tomb 10
The so-called gold touching does not really allow a person to close his eyes or only open a small space in the coffin, and then let the gold toucher touch the contents of the coffin with his hands
After all, this thing is not a fortune teller by touching the bones, you can't see the inside of the coffin, just put your hand down and touch something, in case you touch a skull, it will be funny!
So, we didn't rush to touch the contents of the coffin. Instead, work together again to push the lid of the sarcophagus to three-quarters of the way so that the lid is not completely opened, so that it is convenient to close the lid after taking things. We can't be like those robbers, just take what is valuable, and the rest of the love is gone. Whether it is Brother Xiao, as the captain of the Touching Gold, or as the heir of the Yin and Yang Sect, we will not allow such a scene to appear. This is not only disrespectful to the deceased, but also a violation of one's own merits.
As the lid of the coffin is pushed open three-quarters of the way, we can see almost the entire inside of the coffin. By the light of the flashlight, the first thing that caught my eye was not the burial goods in the coffin. Instead, it was the white bones surrounded by burial goods.
Everyone knows that after a long time after death, people will become a pile of white bones. But everyone also knows that as long as the white bone is not violently shaken by the human body, it will maintain the shape of the bone before death. That is, all the bones will be joined together.
But this was not the case with the white bone in front of me, and it was obvious that the main bone in the abdomen was broken. When you look closer, you can see that the fracture is so smooth that it doesn't look like it was broken or torn off. The crack is completely flat, as if something has cut straight through the middle.
According to historical records, the cause of Li Si's death was that he was tortured by beheading. Therefore, it is easy to understand why the main beam bone of white bone has a fractured shape.
"Wow! This time it's really sent!" The thin man looked at the funeral goods in the coffin, and his eyes couldn't help but shine.
Don't look at Li Si as Qin Xiang, but his funeral goods are not luxury goods such as jewelry. There are more bamboo slips, copper swords, copper bottles and other objects, so to speak, these things are basically Li Si's favorites during his lifetime. This is also completely in line with our Chinese national conditions. Regardless of the wealthy, after the death of an ordinary person, his family members will usually place the same thing in his coffin as he was hobby, except for a little gold and silver jewelry. For example, if the person was very fond of gambling before his death, then his family will put all kinds of gambling equipment as funeral gifts. And so many more, I won't list them all!
Although because of Li Si's hobbies, his funeral goods are all things that only literati like. But this does not hinder their value, aside from those bamboo slips that have rotted, the rest of the bronze utensils are taken out casually, which are worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. No way, antiques are like this, the older they are, the more valuable they are, as long as they remain intact, even in ordinary times, there are many people vying to buy them. Of course, if it's something that has been used by some historical celebrity, that's a different story. At least in terms of price, it will be many times more than once.
That's why the thin man is so happy. It's a pity that they have an unwritten rule as Captain Touching Gold, that is, each person can only take one hard item from the coffin. Including Xiao Liuzi and Manniu, there are only six of us, which means that we can only take six treasures from here. As for the rest, they will have to stay and wait for the next batch of golden captains or tomb robbers to enter.
Why Captain Touching Jin has such a rule, Brother Xiao is not very clear. He only heard from the old man that although Captain Touching Gold was engaged in tomb robbery, he was the most civilized among all the sects. This includes not only the method of entering the mausoleum, but also the treatment of funerary goods. They believe that everyone can live a long time if they have wealth. Otherwise, swallowing the burial goods alone will inevitably be punished by heaven.
Since you can only take away six treasures, it will be a test of the eyesight and experience of the gold toucher at this time. Why do you say this, because the funeral goods in this coffin actually have their own market value, if you have great eyesight and experience, you will inevitably take the most valuable ones away. If you are not very proficient in this area, you will inevitably be determined by appearance.
Fortunately, Brother Xiao and they are all veterans, and they have their own proportions in treating funeral goods. Of course, I don't need to worry too much, of course, even if I want to worry about it, it's more than enough to worry about it. No way, who made me a complete layman in this area!
Brother Xiao was choosing the burial goods, and I was looking for the treasure that was the most important thing to me in the coffin, which was the map fragment. However, from the head of the coffin to the end of the coffin, I didn't seem to find anything.
"Isn't there still a very hidden place here?" looked at the burial goods and bones in the coffin, and my brow couldn't help but wrinkle. Although the map fragment was the size of a palm when spread out, it would be only the size of a fingernail if it was actually crumpled. In such a big place, looking for such a small thing is really a little powerless.
"Trees are expensive! Don't be in a hurry! Map fragments are usually hidden in inconspicuous places, and we will find them together when we have finished packing up the treasures. Brother Xiao saw my anxiety and reached out and patted me on the shoulder. Then he took out the bronze sword, copper bottle and other objects from the coffin, and said, "Okay! We've got enough of six treasures! Rats, pack these things up! Thin man, the three of us are looking carefully in this coffin. It's important to remember not to miss any clues. The wisdom of the ancients was not blown, and it is likely that there are other hidden compartments in this sarcophagus. ”
Brother Xiao said this naturally because of the last experience, who would have thought that there was a dark grid in a bronze coffin, and even if there was a dark grid, he even placed a fake map fragment next to him. Therefore, Brother Xiao, who suffered a loss, will naturally pay more attention when looking for map fragments.
Brother Xiao and the thin man and I divided our labor to look for them in the coffin. Each person is responsible for a small area so that they don't miss a beat. Unfortunately, even so, no trace of the map fragments has been found in the area I am responsible for.
"How's it going, did you find it?"
When Brother Xiao saw me get up, he thought I had found it, so he hurriedly asked out loud. Seeing that I shook my head, I had to bury my head in the coffin again and look for it carefully.
"Something strange! We've almost turned the coffin upside down, and we've made sure that the sarcophagus doesn't have any hidden lattices or mezzanine or anything like that. Why can't I find the map fragment, it's not in this vault, it's in another vault?"
This is probably the only reason why the map fragments are not found in the coffin.
"It's not impossible! But if that's the case, it's tricky. Although the map fragment was made of a special material infused with sheepskin, it was not very large when kneaded. With such a large secret room, where should we start, we must know that it has been almost a day since we entered the mausoleum, and the remaining dry food and water are only enough for two days. ”
Brother Xiao's worries are not unreasonable, and this is also one of the worst-case scenarios. To be honest, I really don't want to face this situation. Not only is it frustrating, but it also undermines people's confidence. You think, the first few map fragments were found in the coffin, but not here. Therefore, at this time, you will wonder whether it is your own reason or the ancients who hid the map fragments are too shrewd
"If we don't look for it again, I think we may have missed something, such as the back of the coffin lid and the mouth bones of the white bones."
"Alright! I've touched and seen all kinds of places, but there are no ones at all!" The thin man was a little dissatisfied with my words, after all, he was responsible for the few places I said, and I said this undoubtedly to show that I did not believe in the thin man's ability. But I didn't mean to, and I said it in a hurry.
So, I think it's important for me to explain that. "Thin man, listen to me, I didn't mean that! I just want everyone to re-examine everything in the coffin. Maybe we all missed one or two small things because we were in a hurry. ”
Just as we were arguing, a cool breeze blew in from outside the secret room. The dust in the secret room was blown up again, and I subconsciously squinted my eyes when I saw the dust flying in the secret room, even though I was wearing a gas mask.
"What are you looking for?"
Yes, you heard it right! This voice is not a ghost language, but a Mandarin that we often hear and speak. But just such a sentence made several of us quickly get together, back to back, looking at each other ahead. There was nothing in front of us, not even the entire chamber except for the four of us and the coffin.
But that's what scares us the most. Since there is nothing, where did the words come from
"What are you looking for in answer to my words?"
The voice was heard again in the chamber, and there was an effect of not being angry and self-threatening. It makes us feel as if the other party is a superior to us.
It's weird to hear but not see anyone. If it's a ghost, then the ghost charm on our body should be a foreshadowing. But it hasn't been lit at all, which means it may not be a ghost. But in the entire mausoleum, we haven't seen anything else except the powerful ghost king.
"Could it be the ghost king, could it be that the stone mirror is really its cultivation tool, and now it has made a big step forward in getting the stone mirror skill, and has come back to find us" The thin man whispered in our ears, his legs seemed to be a little trembling, and I don't know if it was because of the cold, he was only wearing an autumn coat.
Whether or not, as the thin man said, we must now face the unknown thing head-on.
"We're looking for a map fragment made of sheepskin!"
Why should I say it directly, because I have a flash of inspiration in my head, and I think that this mysterious voice probably knows the whereabouts of the map fragment, and even if it doesn't, it should be familiar with this mausoleum. So, I'm going to tell you what we're looking for to see if it really knows. It's better than having to wander around like headless flies in a huge mausoleum.
"Trees are expensive!" As soon as I finished speaking, Brother Xiao just pulled me, and I knew what he meant. That is, it is possible that after I say what we are looking for, that mysterious thing will do something bad to us. It is likely that it exists to protect something in the mausoleum, which has been introduced in both reality and movies.
