Chapter 42: The Jade Box

"Taro, what are you doing, you can still eat in front of a skeleton." Although I said this, but after walking all the way down, now I see the white bones, even I am not touched, I just feel that it is an ordinary thing.

"While you were asleep, I studied these bones in the deep ditch next to me, according to the observation of the big head, these two symmetrical ravines on the left and the right are equivalent to moats, if this is the case, it is not difficult to explain so many white bones, the scale of the preparation of the tomb by the great men of the ancient dynasties will be very large, and the labor required will be a lot, and most of the labor will be executed after the tomb is built to avoid leaking secrets. But it's strange here, judging from the white bones I sampled, most of them were slashed to death by sharp blades, but there are a dozen or so people who were obviously poisoned to death, you know. Execute the labor force, no one will choose to use both methods. Therefore, these people who died of poisoning are afraid that they will come here in later generations, but for some reason they are poisoned and died will stay forever. “

"In my opinion." The fat man smacked his mouth and said, "These poisoned people must have come to rob the tomb, otherwise who would have nothing to do and run to this eerie underground world." ”

The monkey didn't participate in the discussion, just sat there and buried his head in the compressed biscuits, I looked him up and down, and there seemed to be no injuries in any place, before asking, "Monkey, what were you doing in that stone house just now, I waited for a long time and didn't see you come out, and I thought something happened to you." ”

The smoker chimed in, "Yes, the mosquitoes are crying in a hurry, monkey, you have to talk about it." ”

"Ah," the monkey was in a hurry, a mouthful of biscuits choked his throat, panicked and quickly drank saliva, patted his chest and said, "I don't want to, I originally wanted to open the jade box according to the big head's plan and take something and run, but I didn't expect that the jade box was conjoined, a whole square piece, there was no place for any opening, so I tried to poke with a knife, but it didn't work, at this time, the roof behind me began to collapse, a panic, I was ready to take the entire jade box away, who ever thought, the jade box would be so heavy, a hard hand, Instead, it fell to the ground. Then I didn't just bend down to pick it up, but it just fell like this, and it broke away. There was no time to decide whether to take the contents or take them entirely. So I simply opened my backpack and stuffed the entire jade box into it, and then rushed out, not to scare me to death. It's almost a little bit, and you have to play with a small life. ”

After speaking, he dragged the backpack in front of him, took out the jade box, opened it and put it on the ground, "Well, I haven't had time to see what's in it yet." ”

We just saw the true face of the jade box, it is bigger than looking at it from a distance, the whole body is clear, round and shiny, smooth and delicate on all sides, the hand can feel quite warm, I didn't understand these at that time, I only knew that it looked very good and easy, and the fat man, he had long been in love with it, the two hands were like an octopus eager to wrap it up, only the big head didn't seem to care about the jade box, and opened it straight away, wanting to see what was inside.

As soon as the jade box opened, a cold air rose in the light. Everyone's miner's lamp doesn't remember how many times they have changed the battery since they entered the underground, and there are not many reserve batteries in their respective backpacks, and it is estimated that they can only last for about another day, but at this time, no one has the idea of turning off the miner's lamp. I saw that the cold air dissipated, revealing a long strip of green jade plate glowing in the light, and the front of the jade plate was engraved with a strange pattern, and if you looked closely, it seemed to be a spider.

It's spiders again, how do you feel that since you waded through this troubled water, there are spiders everywhere, are those people so fond of spiders?

The big head was so excited that he couldn't help himself, stretched out his trembling hand to pick up the jade plate, and stroked his fingers repeatedly on the protruding spider, and turned over the back for a long time, and there seemed to be a word engraved on it, of course, I absolutely couldn't understand it, but where did I know, when the big head saw the word, a string of tears flowed down like this, and everyone looked at him like a neuropathy, and I really didn't understand how to cry well.

After crying for a while, the big head grinned, and reluctantly handed the jade plaque to the monkey and told him to put it away. "Monkey, I understand your character, so this jade plate is the safest to put on you, but remember, this jade plate must not be seen by anyone except for the six of us. Otherwise, its appearance alone will cause an uproar. ”

Wow, that's amazing. The fat man stretched out his head to take a closer look, and the monkey quickly hid it in his clothes.

"Fatty, you put away the jade box, just this jade box, you can change it to a small western-style building if you take it out."

"Huh, such a cow?" Hearing that he was going to give the jade box to himself, the fat man directly picked it up and stuffed it into his bag, as if he was afraid that others would rob him.

Seeing his frustration, we could only smile speechlessly, and after eating the compressed biscuits, I got up and stood next to the big head facing the tomb door made of ancient blue bricks, and asked, "What's the matter with the jade plaque, how can you see it like a lost soul?" ”

The rest of the people also patted their butts and stood up, and Taro casually threw the skull far away and came over to hear what the big head had to say.

"It has been verified that spiders are the totems of the country of gold, and they are also a symbol of their rights, which is why along the way, you can see so many spiders, that jade plate seems to be what we have heard of those generals have a token that can command the army, the back of the jade plate engraved two words are 'Tianshu', I think, the jade plate should belong to the corpse in the coffin that was opened before. The status of that corpse in the El Dorado is probably not low, which is a reasonable explanation for where the grand showroom above came from.

At the same time, a more important message can be obtained from the jade plaque, that is, the group of citizens of the Golden Nation who have left their homes in the final description of the first stone gate, they have blended into the outside world, but they have never forgotten their identity. And has been trying to return home. That said, it's true that the country of gold still exists somewhere today.

In addition, I guess that there are seven jade plates, which are named according to Tianshu, Tianji, Tianxuan, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Shaoguang. The person who owns these seven jade plaques must be the backbone of the Golden Country. It seems that their system of rights is not much different from ours either. ”

"Uh-oh." After listening to this, we all nodded, although to be honest, the big head said so much, I didn't understand why he cried with joy. But it doesn't matter.

Resting enough, and hearing enough stories, we packed our luggage and prepared to enter the ancient tomb in front of us, at this moment, out of nowhere there was a loud 'buzz', I immediately looked up, only to see a boulder suddenly falling vertically from a high altitude, seeing that the weight was enough to weigh a thousand pounds, and then looking down, the fat man was standing under the boulder, with his back to us, not knowing what he was doing.
