Chapter 40 Ascending the coffin and making a fortune
Looking at the dragon ornament on the jade coffin, I was reminded of the legend about it, which is said to be a sea beast and a water spirit. In the "Sayings", it is said: "The cockroach, from the insect, the sound of separation, without horns, is a kind of creature that harms people. And the "domains" that spray water in the altar may be the prototype of the dragon, and the giant insect that was burned to death by fire and looked like a mutation may be the so-called "dragon".
The fat man's eyes straightened when he looked at the exquisite jade coffin, and he said excitedly: "Such a big piece of jade, I can change it for several cars." ”
I said to him, "This jade coffin is so heavy, can you carry it back?" Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and open the inner coffin, the real good things are all in the coffin. ”
The fat man swallowed his saliva, put his hands together and said to the coffin, "Raise the coffin and make a fortune", and then lifted the lid of the jade coffin. There was no other inner coffin in the inner coffin of the jade, and there was a corpse in a royal robe lying flat inside, and only a handful of dry bones remained. Looking at the blackened dry bones in the coffin, I thought to myself: I dreamed that the corpse of King Xiang was a monster with a human head and a snake body, and it looked very strange and terrifying, which made people feel frightened. As a result, what I saw lying in the coffin was a dried corpse, an ordinary corpse, and I couldn't see any danger at all.
The fat man glanced at the coffin, and smacked his tongue with some disdain: "This Xiangwang Lao'er's funeral goods are too shabby, just a few broken things, those gold, silver and jade, and exquisite agate good things have been hidden by him?" After that, you have to reach out and take something from the coffin.
I hurriedly grabbed the fat man's arm and said, "Some of the burial goods in the emperor's coffin, for fear of being stolen by the people who are buried or tomb robbers, will be smeared with strange poison in advance, so don't touch things casually first." After speaking, he took out a small bottle from his arms, dropped a few drops on the items in the coffin, and then explained to the fat man: "This is the master's own exclusive antidote recipe, which is specially designed to restrain corpse poison Gu poison. Now you can use the finger picker with peace of mind. ”
There are two things in the inner coffin of the jade, a long jade object with exquisite and transparent hollow carving, and a box of rosewood. The fat man held the jade and looked at it, and said, "I know this thing, it's called Gui." Ancient emperors and princes held it in their hands during ceremonies. But what is engraved on it, it is the same as a ghost drawing. ”
I looked at the ornament on Yugui and explained, "This is a pun on yin and yang, which means that you can control the two worlds of yin and yang. King Xiang'er probably wants to be able to walk sideways in the underworld after he dies, and he will be a blessing. ”
The fat man opened his backpack and put Yugui in it. He picked up a sandalwood box from the coffin, and there was no painting or lacquer on the box, only an ordinary copper tenon of the beast's head. The fat man carefully opened the copper tenon of the beast's head, opened the lid of the sandalwood box, and saw that there were three square jade pieces lying inside, and the jade pieces were carved with bas-reliefs, the content was messy, and I couldn't understand the specific content. It's a text, but I think it's unlikely, it's just four dislikes. I saw that there were metal tenons on the sides of the jade pieces, which could connect several pieces and buckle them together. I couldn't help but think to myself: these three pieces of jade are actually incomplete, and there should be a few more pieces connected together to figure out the meaning of the ornamentation on them. I was going to think about it carefully, but the fat man asked me aloud: "What is this jade piece and what is it for, it doesn't seem to be a decorative accessory." ”
I looked at the jade pieces and replied uncertainly: "During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, jade carving was conceived in a novel and complicated form, and these three jade pieces were just a few pieces of multi-knotted jade pendants, and they could be combined and connected together. Some multi-section jade pendants will have more than a dozen sections in a group, and each section will have a different shape and different carving techniques. As for what is carved on these three jade tablets, I really can't understand it, so I can only take it back and ask my master. ”
The fat man put the jade pieces back into the sandalwood box, put them in the backpack together, stood up, and said to me proudly with a spring breeze on his face: "Comrade Zheng, the arduous revolution has finally succeeded, and it is time for us to return to our hometown." ”
Looking at the radiant fat man, and then thinking of the long-lost foreign residence, my mood is relaxed and happy, and I hope to return to my hometown soon, so I want to stand up. As a result, suddenly an arrow struck the coffin beside me, and the feather feather on the tail of the arrow was still shaking up and down.
Seeing this, the fat man immediately shouted: "It's not good, the enemy has appeared." ”
I was almost shot by an arrow while standing next to the coffin, and the fat man screamed and then put the lacquered coffin lid on the coffin, and we hurriedly hid behind it.
I asked worriedly, "Do you see who it is?" ”
The fat man shook his head and said, "I knew that the arrow was shot from behind your seat just now, but I didn't see who it was." ”
I steadied my nervousness and said to the fat man, "Bows and arrows are limited in number, and they are not as fast as bullets, so they shouldn't pose much of a threat." However, the enemy is dark and I am clear, so it is better for the two of us to wait until it gets dark and look for opportunities to act. ”
The fat man said with a worried face: "I think that the enemy will not give the two of us a chance to wait until then, in case the enemy has more than one person, and after a while, we will become turtles in the urn." It's better to take the coffin lid as a shield now and run to the Fengshi Forest, where there are many places to hide and hide, which is better than dry consumption here. I felt that the fat man was right, so I nodded in agreement.
The fat man first stuck his head out from behind the coffin lid, looked around, and then said to me, "Ready." With that, he pushed the coffin lid down the tree, and the coffin lid fell to the ground in response, and we quickly jumped off the tree, and before our heels could stand firmly, two sharp arrows shot at the foot of the tree like lightning. The two of us hurriedly lifted the coffin lid as a shield, hunched and walked backwards. We had not walked a few meters with the heavy lid of the coffin before we were sweating and panting, so we had to stop to rest and catch our breath before continuing to walk backwards. The two of us finally came to the front of Shi Feng, immediately threw the heavy coffin lid, quickly hid behind a stone pillar, and sat on the ground, panting like a cow, and the bow and arrow were not shooting.
The fat man sat on the gravel floor and said very angrily: "Grandma's, play with yin, when he appears, I have to kill him." ”
My buttocks hurt from the gravel on the ground, but I didn't dare to stand up, and I gasped and said to the fat man, "It's safe now, and the rock pillars here are nearly as tall as a man." As soon as it gets dark, it will be difficult for him to find us again in this troubled world. ”
The fat man poked his head out from behind the stone pillar and looked out, but did not notice any disturbance. So, the two of us began to move cautiously towards the top of the pinnacle, and climbed about ten zhang high. At this moment, a sharp arrow "roared" through the silence, coldly grazed my arm, and shot at the fat man's backpack climbing in front.
The two of us hurriedly crouched down and hid behind a stone pillar. I made a cut on my arm, not very deep, but it was bleeding a lot, and I wrapped the bandage that I had used to wrap around my hand before putting it in my pocket.
The fat man pulled out the arrow from his backpack, broke it and threw it on the ground, and said angrily, "Fuck it, it's really annoying to sneak around like a mouse." After saying that, he stood up indignantly and shouted to the other side: "The sneaking is endless, right? If you have the ability to stand up for Lao Tzu, you will fight with the fat man for a few rounds, and you can be regarded as your seed. As soon as the fat man's impassioned words fell, a sharp arrow flew over his head against his scalp, so frightened that he hurriedly shrank his head and leaned down against the rocks to hide.
I said to the fat man who was very uneasy and touched his scalp: "Don't toss around, they are just playing yin to dark, how can they fight with you." It's better to sit down and get some rest, and wait until it's dark before moving on. ”
The two of us hid behind the stone peak and ate some fruit to rest for a while, and when we saw that there was no movement behind us, it was almost dusk, so we set off again and began to move on. When it was dark, we couldn't see the road under our feet because of the darkness, and we often tripped over protruding stones, and in order to avoid exposing the target as a live target, we couldn't light a candle to illuminate it, so it was difficult for us to continue to walk through the pitch black and craggy rocks. After some discussion, I decided to find a hidden cave to hide in and wait until it was darker before setting off.
As a result, I didn't go far, I really found a very hidden small cave, the outside of the cave entrance is layered with stone peaks, even if you get close in the dark, it is difficult to find the storage of the cave entrance. The cave is full of small gravel that can easily slip into it, and the cave is not very wide but very deep, and it takes nearly ten meters to reach the end.
I said to the fat man, "Although it is cold in the cave, in order to avoid being discovered, we can't make a fire, so we will endure the cold tonight and deal with it for the night." ”
The fat man nodded in agreement, and the two of us cleared the gravel from the ground on one side of the cave and prepared to rest. The fat man put the backpack on the ground, then sat down on the backpack and said to me, "You lie down and sleep for a while, and then I will wake you up later, and you will be replaced by a change of shifts." ”
I nodded and said, "Okay." This mysterious man hiding in the shadows is very insidious and cunning, and you should be alert when you keep vigil. ”
The fat man said to me, "Let me keep vigil, and you will sleep with a hundred and twenty hearts, and there will be no problem." After listening to the fat man's assurance, I lay down and slept in my clothes.
In my sleep, in the dimness of my sleep, I heard the sound of rustling, and my heart immediately became alert, and I said, "Could it be that the mysterious man has found this hidden cave?" The enemy is dark and I am clear, so if I don't save it, I will stage a scene of closing the door and killing the dog, and my heart is suddenly cold.
