Chapter 66: Extraneous Branches
Chen Ziyang walked to the sculpture in the tomb and looked at it carefully.
The sculpture is a large spherical shape, made entirely of copper. However, the entire sculpture is now covered with blue-green patina. The whole sculpture is composed of two hemispheres, the upper and lower hemispheres, which are completely symmetrical. Each hemisphere is formed by four five-clawed dragons coming together, vying for a bead at the intersection of the apex of the sphere. Except for a circular bronze ring at the intersection of the upper and lower hemispheres, the entire sculpture is hollowed out.
The eight dragons that make up the entire sculpture are all five-clawed true dragons, Chen Ziyang seems to have seen them somewhere before, and the five-clawed true dragons are only used by royal people. Now that there are eight five-clawed golden dragons, is this tomb owner a relative of the emperor who likes carpentry? That's not right, diving fish dragons can't bury real dragons.
Chen Ziyang just felt that the shape of the dragons carved in this sculpture was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while, just when he was puzzled and looked at the sculpture carefully again, he found that the coffin was actually emitting a faint white light from the hollow place of the sculpture.
This scared Chen Ziyang a lot, and he quickly took a closer look, but found that Yang Lei and Umbrella Shishuai, two money fans, actually ran to the coffin to study after packing the plum bottle. The two of them muttered in a low voice: "Old umbrella, what kind of jade do you see in this jade coffin?" Is it jadeite, or Hetian jade? If you cut off a piece, can you get a bracelet out of the car? ”
Umbrella Shishuai replied: "I don't think it's either, this seems to be Xiuyu produced in Liaoning." I have been to Yunnan and Qinghai when I was a soldier, Yunnan is full of jade, Qinghai is full of Hetian jade, but I don't seem to have seen such a hair color, it should be Xiuyu. ”
While the two of them were studying, they even used a strong flashlight to shine on the coffin to see the water in the coffin. Chen Ziyang saw from a distance, through the illumination of the strong flashlight, a black human figure faintly appeared in the coffin, just when he wanted to prompt the two people to stop quickly, Chen Ziyang suddenly found that the black shadow in the coffin seemed to move.
This frightened Chen Ziyang a lot, and he whispered to the two people: "You two don't want to die, get out of there quickly." However, Yang Lei and Umbrella Shishuai didn't pay attention to him at all, and the two of them continued to study there. Chen Ziyang stepped forward a few steps to stop the two of them, but he didn't notice that his backpack strap was hooked by the dragon nails on a dragon's claws.
Chen Ziyang pushed forward and pulled the ball around. It turns out that the bottom of this ball sculpture can be rotated, like a giant globe, but the sculpture was still due to rust. With Chen Ziyang's force, the bearing of the entire ball embedded in the ground made a loud noise, and the ball rattled and spun. As the ball rotated, a lot of patina and dust fell off it.
The sudden loud noise obviously frightened Yang Lei and Umbrella Shishuai. Umbrella Shishuai is okay, after all, he is a soldier before, although he was suddenly frightened, he just looked at the place where the sound came from, and after finding that it was Chen Ziyang, he didn't react excessively. But the timid Yang Lei was frightened a lot at this time, but he got into a big disaster.
The jade coffin was not placed on a high platform, but was laid flat on the ground. There were four chains sticking out from the four corners of the bottom of the coffin, the chains were not very long, only about two feet, and the other end of the chain was a jade nail, and the four jade nails were nailed straight to the ground. The four chains and four jade nails are all attached to the coffin and are carved from the same piece of jade.
Yang Lei finished studying the coffin and found that the coffin was not easy to start, so he turned around and pouted his back to the coffin and began to study the jade nails on the ground. Frightened by Chen Ziyang like this, Yang Lei stood up in fear and hurriedly took a few steps back, but accidentally touched the coffin. Who knew that the coffin lid, which should have been tightly covered, slid to the side as if there was no resistance under the touch of Yang Lei's huge buttocks.
After the coffin lid slid open, Yang Lei fell backwards and was tripped by the coffin and fell back, and Yang Lei, who had not found a good balance, lay down in the coffin with a 270-degree backflip. Yang Lei, who suddenly fell into the coffin, was kissing a big face as green as old tree bark at this time, and what made Yang Lei feel disgusting the most was that the corpse was wet, and now he only felt that his two lips were full of slimy mucus.
"Oh my god!" Yang Lei jumped out of the coffin with a loud scream, and he didn't know whether he was scared or disgusted, and in a hurry, even five shotguns fell into the jade coffin. With Yang Lei's screams, the corpse in the coffin slowly sat up, turned his shriveled face to Chen Ziyang's direction, and a faint green light slowly appeared in his eyes.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Chen Ziyang was so frightened that his scalp was numb, and he didn't know what to do in a hurry. However, Umbrella Shishuai reacted quickly, and hurriedly wanted to lift the coffin lid leaning on the coffin, to cover the green bark monster into the coffin. But the lid of the coffin that slipped off easily just now weighed more than a thousand catties in his hand at this time, and he couldn't lift it up.
Just when Chen Ziyang was stunned, Yang Lei was so frightened that his farts were rolling and urine, and Umbrella Shi Shuai was holding back his face with too much force, the green light in the eyes of this old bark monster covered with green slime became more and more abundant, and then this green monster bounced out of the coffin like a monkey at once, climbed up along the stone wall not far behind the coffin, and disappeared into the darkness on the top of the cave.
At this time, Chen Ziyang regretted this in his heart, what kind of sculpture to see, how good it was to pull these two wealthy fans away just now, there would not be so many things.
Yang Lei crawled to Chen Ziyang's side, crying and said, "Er Yang, what is that, you are about to him." Umbrella Shishuai also hurriedly approached the two of them, clenching the sapper shovel in his hand. The three of them were back to back, looking at the dark burial chamber.
Sometimes the fear of the unknown is the most terrifying, when he saw the green-skinned monster just now, Chen Ziyang was only afraid, but now facing this boundless darkness, knowing that this monster is hidden in this darkness, I don't know when it will rush out from what direction, Chen Ziyang's fear has turned into fear.
Just when the three of them didn't know what to do, the flashlight in Chen Ziyang's hand flashed a few times, and then the light dimmed, and then suddenly lost its light completely, obviously out of power. At this moment, invisible pressure came from the darkness on all sides.
