Chapter XXXVIII: The Inevitable Death

I was alone in the dark and deep underground Han Dynasty tombs, suddenly a black figure flashed in front of me, I immediately shone the flashlight forward, and took out the slingshot in my arms, my eyes stared closely at the door of the stone chamber in front of me, tensed my nerves, and slowly moved forward.

As I moved, I whispered tentatively in front of me, "Fatty, is that you?" ”

There was no answer in the dark and unusually silent burial chamber, and the surroundings were so quiet that I could clearly hear my own rapid breathing from panic.

Alone in a dark and strange place, the bizarre black fantasies in my mind began to haunt me again, and the muscles in my body were tense and stiff. In order to embolden myself, I began to ask into the dark depths ahead: "Is it fat?" Or is it a cigarette boy? Who the hell is it? Come out, don't try to scare me, I've found you. ”

I quietly walked to the door of the burial chamber and shook the flashlight around the stone chamber in front of me, where there was no one except for the pitch black. I cautiously stepped into the burial chamber in front of me in the darkness, and the coffin in this stone chamber had also been corrupted to ashes, empty, and there was not even a decent burial object. The flashlight glanced around, and found that there was no ear room in this stone room, and there was only a cold stone room alone. I didn't find anyone, so I had to bite the bullet again and continue walking in the dark.

And at this moment, I suddenly felt someone behind me, and just as I wanted to turn around, a cold and piercing hand was already on my shoulder. The cold chill spread from my shoulders to my whole body, and my brain felt like it was frozen. I couldn't help but say: This is unlucky, in the dark and strange tomb, I don't know if I have met some difficult master?

Danger is imminent. At this moment, there is no time to think, the body reacts instinctively, and the flashlight in his left hand has been waved directly to the back.

As a result, something behind me suddenly flashed to the side and grabbed my hand vigorously. I struggled desperately, but I didn't break free, and I bent my knees. I want to turn around and kick the person behind me.

Suddenly, the person who attacked me suddenly said, "Fake Sven, what are you smoking?" With that, he shook my arm away.

The sound of the sneak attack enemy is very familiar. I immediately raised the flashlight with my sore left hand, and shone it at the person who was talking, and I saw the fat man looking at me angrily.

Seeing the fat man's face, I breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You want to scare me to death?" When did you run behind me? ”

The fat man did not answer. Instead, he said to me very excitedly: "Lao Zheng." What do you think I've gotten my hands on? ”

Only then did I find that the fat man was carrying a yellow-green lead-glazed pottery "Xi" (a mirror box used for women's dressing in ancient times) in good condition. I took it over and looked at it carefully, this thing was not a rare object, and it was not worth a few dollars, so I said to the fat man with a lack of interest: "I thought it was a good thing, isn't it just a broken dressing box, is it worth your excitement?" ”

The fat man was not happy to hear this, so he snatched the one in my hand and said to me, "What do you know! What is this stuff in, do you know? This is a box used by women to hold jewelry in ancient times. I dare to pack a ticket, it must contain good stuff. ”

I smiled and said to the fat man, "You guy has a lot of eyes." But if it's filled with good things, open it and see if you know. ”

The fat man immediately complained to me helplessly: "If I could have opened it, I would have opened it a long time ago, this thing is locked and can't be opened." ”

I didn't notice that there is a lock on the mirror box just now, is there a secret lock, this is the daily necessities used by women to make up in ancient times, it is not a rare thing, why is it still locked? This strange phenomenon immediately aroused my curiosity. The heart said: Is it really called the fat man to say that there are amazing good things hidden in it?

I held the box with both hands and shook it up and down slightly, and there was a sound of objects colliding inside, and it seemed that it really contained some important valuables, so it was locked.

I asked the fat man, "Where did you find this mirror box?" ”

The fat man suddenly thought of something, and immediately pulled me forward quickly, and said to me happily: "Lao Zheng, you just do things too slowly, and you can't catch up with the heat when you eat." ”

I smiled back and said, "I'm not uncommon with that stuff for you to eat." ”

The fat man laughed very happily and said, "I have long been used to your slow movements, as long as I have quick hands and eyes." There are so many people in the fight this time, and if you don't have a good hand, can something get into our hands? Let me tell you, the turtle sons of the Liu brothers, like a group of wolf dogs with a keen sense of smell, found a clean tomb after a while, the coffin in the tomb is very well preserved, and there are also a lot of burial goods, everyone is picking there, I just chose one at random, and then I came back to you, so that I can take you to see again, with your eyes, maybe you can pick good things in the second round. ”

The fat man said it lightly, but I know that when the coffin is opened, he must be domineering, and he can argue with everyone with one enemy and ten with a river, and he will never make the mistake of stumbling.

Speaking of dividing things, I suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked him, "Did you see the smoke man, did he find a medical book?" ”

As soon as the fat man heard the words of the cigarette man, he became angry, and said angrily: "That girl doesn't know where to run?" I haven't seen him all the time, he likes to be mysterious, and I don't bother to pay attention to him. ”

I said to the fat man: "The purpose of our entry into the fight this time is to find medical books, and the cigarette man is the key, you have to figure out the priorities, don't just find out the tools." ”

The fat man listened to me talk about the medical book, so he nodded reluctantly.

At this time, I saw a faint light flickering in the depths of the darkness, and I could hear the voices of people talking. So, we quickened our pace through the stone chambers in front of us and came to a rectangular stone chamber.

There were several people in the stone room, gathered in front of a coffin, and the large red vermilion lacquer coffin inlaid with gold trim had been opened, in the dim and yellow light. It speaks of the loneliness and gloom in the gloomy tomb, and the gloom makes me feel very uneasy and frightened. I strode over to the crowd and noticed that something seemed wrong with the numbers. There were a few people missing, they should have been in other places, searching for the burial chamber where the Ming artifacts were placed, or maybe it was a previous poisoning attack in the body, and they had died in the dark and deep burial chamber, some corner that no one knew.

Yoo Da and his nephew stood with their backs to me on one side of the red lacquered coffin in Phnom Penh. The black man and Jiang Ye stood together, standing on the other side of the coffin, just facing us. Next to him stood the short, white-haired old man, who was looking inside the coffin board, and then leaned out to take something out of the coffin, and the two young men standing beside him. also looked into the coffin with a very happy expression.

Jiang Ye was the first to discover me and the fat man. Pi smiled and said to the two of us, "You are here." It is not difficult to see from the slightly stiff expression on his face that at this time he must be secretly scolding in his heart, and someone has come to divide things.

I smiled and nodded at Jiang Ye, and the other people around the coffin also looked back at us after hearing the voice, and the white-haired old man also stopped taking things from the coffin. Liu Da, who had a heavy face, forced out a smile and said hello to me and the fat man. It seems that his brother's death hit him hard, and he hasn't come out of the shadows for a while. Instead, his nephew, who stood beside him, looked like he was scared stupid before, and stared at the coffin with excitement and interest.

I approached the red-lacquered coffin in Phnom Penh, looked in, and immediately gasped. The coffin had only one floor, and inside lay an immortal corpse, covered with stitched pinholes, unclothed. This is the most terrifying corpse I have ever seen, the whole body, densely packed like a centipede, was sewn up and buried again, which shows that this sutured corpse was divided by five horses before his death.

In ancient times, the torture of dividing the corpses of five horses was only aimed at the most vicious criminals, so that the corpses of the executed criminals were discarded in the mass graves to feed the wild dogs, and no one would dare to collect the corpses for them. This huge underground Western Han Dynasty tomb group, which was obviously a prominent official and nobleman at that time, how could he bury such a great rebel sinner who was divided by five horses? Bullying the king is a felony that can be beheaded all over the house, which is really incomprehensible.

Moreover, at that time in the Western Han Dynasty, the big red vermilion lacquer coffin embedded with gold edges belonged to a rare thick funeral system, how could it be used to hold one, and after being divided by five horses, the body of the criminal was sewn up again, which was too unreasonable.

Many of the coffins in the stone chamber in the tomb group have been corrupted into a puddle of sludge, and the coffin in this tomb is as intact as new, and the corpses in it are very bizarre that they are not dehydrated and dry, nor are they rotten and stinky, and they are intact as if they were parked in the morgue of the police station, and after freezing treatment, they are ready to be criminally filed for homicide.

I was horrified that the corpse in this coffin was so horrible that it revealed all sorts of unbelievable anomalities, and it made people shudder. And the people standing around the coffin actually watched as if it were commonplace, and took away the burial goods in the coffin.

Suddenly, when I looked into the coffin again, I felt the gastric juice churning, and hurriedly left the coffin and walked to the side.

Seeing my uncomfortable appearance, the fat man came over and asked me with concern, "Lao Zheng, are you okay?" ”

I waved my hand and asked him in a low voice, "Did you take the mirror box in your hand from the coffin with red paint?" ”

The fat man nodded at first, and then immediately shook his head, which confused me all at once, and asked him a little angrily, "Where did you get it from?" ”

The fat man looked at me who was inexplicably angry, and explained very puzzled: "It was not taken from the coffin." When we came in, it was placed directly on the red lacquered coffin lid, not inside the coffin. ”

I glanced at the coffin, and then said to the fat man, "Don't touch the contents of the coffin again, let's go and find the cigarette man." ”

After saying that, I turned around and walked to the other side of the door in front of the stone room, and the fat man followed me inexplicably and asked me, "Lao Zheng, is the contents of the coffin poisonous?" Why can't you take it? ”

At this time, my heart was still pounding, my eyelids were trembling, my lips were twitching, my upper and lower teeth were fighting in a panic, and my fingers were cold as if they had just been taken out of an ice cellar. His neck was as stiff as dead wood, and he couldn't turn his head to look at the coffin behind him again, so he could only endure the feeling of anxiety and explain to the fat man in a low voice: "Fatty, I said you must not be afraid. When I looked at the stitched corpse just now, I suddenly vomited with fear in my heart, and suddenly I felt like I heard him talking to me. ”

When the fat man heard this, he hurriedly looked back, and then asked me in astonishment, "Are you having auditory hallucinations?" ”

I shook my head with great certainty, and in the dark room, the fat man looked at me with a gray face, swallowed his saliva, and asked uneasily, "What did he say to you?" (To be continued......)
