Chapter 17: Mrs. Lanling 01
When the milky white soft body appeared at my feet, for a moment, I even thought that someone was making the leftover dough from the dumplings.
The cold liquid on my face was left on my cheeks, and it was pale blue under the light of the flashlight, and if I had changed the environment, I would have thought it as a gel cream.
Maisie came down the steps with her gear, and I saw that she did not hesitate to step on it and stop it immediately, but she was always too fast, and while the words were still on my lips, I saw that she was already standing in front of me.
"What are you stupid doing?"
Maisie kicked the milky dough, "Look behind you." ”
I looked back and saw that a white patch was slowly moving towards me, and a climbing rope flew towards me with a little light, and suddenly my feet moved, and the whole person fell into endless darkness in an instant.
At his feet was a large coffin, and Maisie jumped down with a rope from it, and when he saw that I was still sitting on the lid of the coffin, he immediately slapped me, "Go down and have a look." ”
As she spoke, she turned over and jumped off the coffin alone, and then gave three signals upward, and the person above responded and then there was no movement.
The coffin was surrounded by broken pottery shards, and in addition to this, there were some animal bones, among which I saw that its vertebral bones were actually forty steps, so I can imagine that this animal had a long neck, even comparable to that of a giraffe.
As I was concentrating on examining the bones, Maisie had already opened the coffin, and with a bang, she lifted the lid and pushed it aside, just as a man hung down from above. Except for Jiang Yuan, who is thin and tall, there is no one else.
As soon as he came, he threw himself on the edge of the coffin, and a miner's lamp in his hand was placed on the edge of the coffin. The coffin inside is gorgeously colored, and the red gold peony flower on the coffin with a vermilion background is matched with a golden phoenix pattern. At first glance, it is indescribably weird.
Most of the burial goods in the coffin are lacquerware, which has been preserved in the normally closed coffin for thousands of years, but now, in just a few minutes, only the black lacquer base is left.
I came to the coffin, looked at the big red coffin, and suddenly had a very strange feeling, I always felt that there was a voice reminding me that I could not open the coffin.
Jiang Yuan's eyes seemed to have seen something strange. He made a silencing gesture to me and Maisie, then turned around and took two steps in the direction behind the coffin, then snapped his fingers and motioned for me to follow, while Maisie indicated that he was staying here.
I looked up and looked up, Qian Jue and Zhang Yang had not come down, and I couldn't help but feel a little strange, but seeing that Jiang Yuan was not unusual, I didn't ask any more. Maybe the two of them stayed on top to answer, after all, we suddenly fell, and the situation below is not clear.
The beams of the three flashlights are also a little stretched here, and the light source is really not enough. But it is still possible to judge the general layout of this place.
Jiang Yuan stopped in one place, turned around and signaled us, and Maisie and I followed to take a look. It turned out that there was an altar here.
Maisie's hand shook suddenly, and she whispered, "How can there be an altar here?" ”
Jiang Yuan looked at this altar. He said in a muffled voice: "It should have something to do with that coffin."
I looked back at the coffin and suddenly felt a cold wind blowing. The hairs on his body stood on end, "You mean, this master died horizontally?" ”
Maisie climbed up to the altar and picked out a strange thing from the bronze tray the size of the bathtub, the golden appearance matched the turquoise jade, and the whole object looked like an urn.
Jiang Yuan looked at this thing and frowned, as if he saw something, but before he could say it, he heard a noise behind us, and the gurgling sound seemed to be someone laughing, but when he listened carefully, it seemed that someone was twisting his bone joints, and the giggling sound was creepy.
Maisie jumped off the altar with a whoosh, and the three of them looked at the coffin with bated breath, and my hunch told me that something was going to happen.
Sure enough, the coffin lid soared into the air with a bang, and at the same time, Zhang Yang and Qian Jue also fell, yes, they fell.
The two of them stabilized their balance in the process of falling, and although the posture of landing was very handsome, they couldn't hide the unsuspecting panic when the unexpected came. What's worse is that as soon as the two of them stood up, before they could see what was going on, they saw a black shadow already standing in front of them.
Because we are some distance away from the coffin, the long-haired female zongzi who came out of the coffin was the first to lock on to Qianjue and Zhang Yang, fortunately, these two people are good, and it is estimated that they are not strange in the face of zongzi.
"What's the matter with you?" I shouted.
Qian Jue got up and jumped to my side in a few steps, "The stairs have collapsed." ”
"What?"
Zhang Yang cautiously walked through the altar to my side, "There was a violent vibration just now, and the stairs were collapsed, why, can't you feel it?" ”
I looked at the long-haired woman who was standing in the coffin looking for a target, and said, "I don't feel it." ”
As she was talking, the female zongzi suddenly turned around, and I saw that she actually had two faces.
This is a two-faced person, in my words, it is a body with two faces, and what is even more bizarre is that these two faces are a man and a woman, the man's skin is shriveled and black, and the woman's skin is as white as snow and her eyes are red.
This female zongzi jumped back and forth in the coffin, and several of us looked at each other, but none of us dared to move first, after all, we didn't even have a black donkey's hooves in our existing backpack, let alone other magic weapons.
The scene was quiet, and occasionally the zongzi made a giggling sound that seemed to be laughing but not laughing, Qianjue couldn't stand still, and he whispered: "This zongzi has a low IQ, let's find a way to get rid of him." ”
I looked at him and asked him seriously: "Shake it off, where to get rid of it, we can't go up now, we can't get down, where to go." ”
Zhang Yang snorted and didn't speak, while Maisie stared at the zongzi intently, only Jiang Yuan was facing the altar, which in his opinion contained many secrets.
Actually, I also suspected that there should be a secret passage behind this altar just now, because when I used to watch TV, there was such a plot in the TV series, and the secret passage is generally set up in a bookcase, or under the bed, so I didn't feel scared at first, but when I found out that there was no mechanism on this wall, I thought I could climb up and find a way, but I didn't expect that as soon as this idea was born, Qianjue and Zhang Yang fell down, and the way up was blocked.
"Yuan'er, you've been watching for a long time, have you found anything?" I couldn't help but ask.
Jiang Yuan lightly fished out a token-like thing from the mess on the altar, and removed the patina and some unknown objects attached to it, in my opinion, it should be maggots, but it doesn't matter what it is.
"What is this?" I asked him.
Jiang Yuan looked at the token in his hand, and looked at Maisie thoughtfully, and at this time, Maisie was already holding a gun and waiting, she may have seen Jiang Yuan looking at her through the afterglow, and asked, "What is written on the token?" ”
I looked at it and said, "Lanling." (To be continued.) )
