The sarcophagus array here is broken and should be relatively safe. The continuous sudden situation just now made everyone nervous, so they could only take a temporary rest and wait for Linglong to wake up.

Everyone sat down and stored their strength, only the fourth master was still standing in the corner on the side, maintaining his usual cold expression, not knowing what he was thinking at the moment.

The scholar gave us a few cigarettes, and then talked about cold humor to adjust the atmosphere. It's just that the jokes he tells are outdated, and no one is interested in him. The smooth brothers took turns guarding Linglong, but Lao Xu took out the pen and paper he carried with him and wrote something on the side.

Since entering this stone tower, I have long lost the concept of time, and the tower is always white, and I can only speculate that it is still daytime.

After about a meal, Linglong finally woke up and turned around. It took my hanging heart to settle down.

"Brother Nan, what's wrong with me? It's like I've had a dream for a long time, but I can't remember it clearly. Everyone's alright, right? Linglong drank some water, covered her head and said.

Hearing Linglong's voice, the fourth master walked over from the side, sat down, and said, "I thought about it just now, in fact, from the beginning when we saw the ghost eye carving, we were already on the way. At that time, they were careless, the team and Linglong fell into the consciousness space one after another, and it is likely that at this time, Ah Tu broke the last stone crystal coffin, and used incense to make Linglong fall into a coma, and then put it into the stone crystal coffin. In the end, she disguised herself as a delicate girl and blended into our team. ”

"Wait, Fourth Master, this doesn't make sense. Why would you choose Linglong over you, me or anyone else? Also, if that's what you say, why don't you hide Linglong somewhere else, or just kill Linglong? "I think that although the fourth master's reasoning is more reasonable, but if you think about it carefully, there are still some doubts.

"Xia Nan is very good and has a quick mind. I was thinking about these issues just now. Killing Linglong At that time, when we were all trapped in the consciousness space, Ah Tu did it effortlessly. But it is easy to kill people, it is difficult to remove the traces of the scene and dispose of the corpse, and Ah Tu put Linglong stunned and put it in the stone crystal coffin, it is likely that he will bring Linglong back to the ghost clan when the time is right, the Cao family is very powerful, and it is still very valuable for extortion. As for why you chose Linglong, hehe, this one is very simple. Because Ah Tu is thin and thin, his body shape is only suitable for disguise as Linglong. "The fourth master's reason is still very sufficient.

"At that time, Ah Tu could kill us all, but he didn't do it, and he was still trying to blend in with us, it seems that this kid is also here for the next silk book." The scholar said.

After listening to what we said, Linglong slowly knew what was going on. Regarding Ah Tu's behavior, Linglong gritted his teeth angrily, and said fiercely: "Damn Ah Tu and the ghost clan, don't let your aunt and grandmother meet again, kill one when you see one." When I go back, I will tell the old man that our Cao family is not finished with them! "After that, I'm going to take the guys to chase Atu.

I stopped Linglong after a good talk with the scholar, I thought about it and asked the fourth master: "The coffins here are still closed when we fall into the consciousness space, and those zongzi are still inside." Why did Ah Tu put Linglong in that stone crystal coffin? And where did the main owner in the stone crystal coffin go? ”

After listening to my words, Linglong glanced at the severed limbs and ashes of the zongzi on the ground, and suddenly understood, ran to the side and retched, kept patting her clothes, and shouted to find a place to take a bath.

The fourth master said, "Don't be disgusting, Linglong." Ah Tu is a member of the ghost clan and is naturally sensitive to yin energy. He didn't need to open it to smell which coffins had bodies in them. Therefore, the stone crystal coffin where Linglong was there was probably empty from the beginning. Ah Tu also made a temporary move and put you in it. ”

"Well, what the fourth master said is right. I've been working on this sarcophagus just now. Judging from all indications, this stone crystal coffin did not let go of the corpse. So what exactly is it used for? "Lao Xu later told me that once the body was placed in the coffin for more than a certain period of time, the corpse oil produced by the corpse's decomposition would seep into the coffin wall, and the inside of the coffin was very clean.

"The Sprinkle family still wants to see the baby saved for the motherland, but there is nothing. This is also vicious enough, get a bunch of thugs to guard the door, and don't leave them some money. When the scholar heard Lao Xu's words, he didn't find anything like a treasure or anything, and he felt very unhappy.

I said to Lao Xu and Ah Shun: "Lao Xu, Ah Shun, you have seen a lot of ancient tombs, have you ever encountered this kind of empty coffin before?"

"In archaeology, empty coffins have indeed been found. Some of them are well-dressed tombs, and some are coffins that the surviving people kept for themselves in advance, but they were not used later for various reasons. Lao Xu said.

"Xu Ye is right. We also encountered empty coffins when we touched gold, but there were many bright objects in them, but there were no ancient corpses. Ah Shun also chimed in.

It seems that among the nineteen doubtful coffins, the last coffin may have been an empty coffin. Originally, I didn't think there would be any coffins or Ming Tu in this coffin. I think these two are outstanding and pretentious characters, how could they stoop to this after death. Eighty percent of the coffins here are used to protect against outsiders. So why is this last empty coffin empty? What does it do? Also, what is the whole stone tower used for? This litany of questions poured in.

"According to the Sprinkle family, this empty coffin is used to hold the baby, and it must have been taken away by the Atuna boy!" Scholars never forget the Ming Instrument.

Listening to our discussion, everyone gathered around to study this last stone crystal coffin. From the outside, this stone crystal coffin is almost the same as other stone crystal coffins. But there are some differences internally. Lao Xu is worthy of being an archaeological expert, and his eyes are indeed vicious. Lao Xu circled around the stone crystal coffin a few times, and then said, "There is a problem here." ”

We looked at it for a long time and didn't find anything, so we could only listen to Lao Xu's further explanation. According to him, the height of the inside of the coffin is not fixed, but after putting in a corpse, some height should be reserved. However, the internal height of this stone crystal coffin is very small, in other words, the bottom of the stone crystal coffin is too thick. If something goes wrong, it must be a demon, and this design must have a special purpose.

"There's a mezzanine!" Everyone realized what Lao Xu meant, and said in unison.

Standing here are all action-oriented, extremely decisive, and after realizing the problem, Linglong immediately asked his subordinates to start working, with the purpose of opening the bottom of the last stone crystal coffin.

Whether it is the choice of the location of the city or the choice of architectural style, the chieftain tribe is different from common sense, we are afraid that there is fraud in this, so Ah Shun and three men with tools from the coffin slowly pry the bottom floor. Others were on guard a little farther away.

Soon, with Ah Shun's low roar, the inner bottom of the stone crystal coffin was pried open. When everyone saw that there was nothing abnormal, they came over. There was a large hole at the bottom of the coffin, and it was so dark that it was impossible to see what was there. Cao is still using tools to expand the area of the gap.

Soon, the entire insole was almost completely chiseled. Sure enough, there's something else inside. After priing the inner bottom of the coffin open, the bottom was not solid, and there were many jade objects glowing green in the gaps. Everyone was shocked by these babes. Lao Xu grew his mouth and couldn't say a word for a long time. Cao Guy Ji was almost drooling.

You must know that among the Ming vessels unearthed from the ancient tombs, gold and silver are not valuable, but ceramics and bronze are more valuable, and the most valuable is jade. As the saying goes, gold and silver have a price, and jade is priceless. Therefore, even if Cao Guy planned to rob countless tombs, he was shocked when he saw the ancient jade at the bottom of this coffin.

"Hahaha, fortunately, Xu Ye's eyes are poisonous, otherwise so many treasures would have been missed!" Ah Shun laughed and said, then waved his hand: "Brothers, take it all!" Be careful, don't leave anyone behind! ”

Seeing that Guy Cao was planning to take Gu Yu away, Lao Xu shouted: "Stop!" These babes are national! You are sinning! ”

"Master Xu, before you come, you have to say that we are in the pit this time, you are just looking for a silk book, and the rest belongs to our Cao family. How? Do you want to break the contract when you see the Ming Instrument? Ah Shun's voice obviously changed a little when he said the last few words, and he saw that the conflict was about to start.

The scholar and I both leaned towards Lao Xu, and Cao was also on guard.

"Lao Xu, let them take something." After the fourth master said this, he turned to look at Lao Xu.

Although Lao Xu is a professor, he is not a fool, and in the face of this group of tomb robbers, he can't restrain them on his tongue. It's just that archaeologists have a patriotic heart, and thinking of the scientific value and significance of these ancient jades, Lao Xu didn't feel good in his heart, so he just turned around and didn't bother with Cao's plan in a huff.

"Master Xu, I know that you are a university scholar, but this is what our group of people do. The Cao family has thousands of brothers up and down, not counting the wives and children of this group of brothers. We've got to eat. Moreover, since this operation came out, several brothers have been folded. These brothers also have parents and wives at home, so they have to have an explanation. All of this has to be done with money. But Xu Ye, don't worry, the Cao family has set up an ancestral motto, all national treasures are only donated, not sold, all extinctions are only seen and not touched, and all Westerners do not do business. The Cao family's goods are only given to a few decent collectors in China, and they will not let the treasures of their ancestors be lost abroad. Thank you for your understanding. Linglong saw that Lao Xu was holding his breath in his heart, so he took the initiative to ease.

Actually, Lao Xu also understands. Tomb robbing has existed since ancient times, and many archaeological excavations have found robbery holes. During the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, a large number of treasures, even national treasures, were plundered by foreigners. In their academic research, these archaeologists even need to go to foreign museums to study Chinese cultural relics, which has to make them gnash their teeth at tomb robbers. It's just that now I have to make a compromise for the sake of the secret of the fourth master's life experience. For the sake of Linglong's sincere attitude and modest words, Lao Xu also sighed silently.

"Hey, this jade is very chic!" Hearing Arley's voice, we were all drawn to it.
