Chapter 36: Ebony
"What?" asked Zhang Baiguan without thinking. "Less nonsense, hurry up and climb up!" waited for Zhang Baiguan to come back to his taste. "What is a ferret?"
Xiao Qiang, who had already climbed a distance of one meter, turned his head to Zhang Baiguan to confirm. Zhang Baiguan was in a trance, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
At this moment, Xiangzi and Long Xu also climbed up.
"Fatty, what are you doing, hurry up" Zhang Baiguan urged. As soon as the words fell, he threw his burning coat into the termite pile. Suddenly, some termites were ignited, which caused the surrounding termites to scatter in fear. This bought Zhang Baiguan and them some time.
Lin Fatzi had some experience in climbing, and he dragged the iron rope, unequivocally, and tossed some distance up.
There was only Zhang Baiguan left, Zhang Baiguan dragged the iron rope, but suddenly found that he couldn't use his strength, Zhang Baiguan complained in a low voice: "Damn, it's really not angry!"
When I was a soldier in those years, this little injury was nothing!
"Daguan, what are you still doing in a daze?" Lin Fatzi was like a flexible fat ape, holding the iron rope with one hand and raising the other hand, shouting to Zhang Baiguan.
Zhang Baiguan replied: "I'll be here soon." ”
Zhang Baiguan bit his tongue and forced himself to lift his spirits, and sure enough, some strength surged in his heart, and he climbed the iron rope some distance, but at this time, an accident happened.
I saw that after Zhang Baiguan went up, several iron cables floated up and down, and there was a sound of "stab, stab", and what surprised several people even more was that the bodies of several people also floated up and down with the iron cables.
Zhang Baiguan looked at this scene, and suddenly became a little disheartened, and muttered in his mouth: "It shouldn't be the trigger mechanism!"
The other people were also stupid, watching their bodies move up and down, they didn't dare to move, and the swarms of termites below had already gathered together.
If you jump now, even if you don't die, you'll have to lose half your life.
Several people were silent, the speed of the chain pulling up and down became faster and faster, and the original sound of 'stabbing' had turned into a rumbling sound.
After a while, everyone looked at each other, and saw that the termites began to climb up the wall.
"It's a death now," Fat Lin couldn't help but say pessimistically. This will make your body's autonomy uncontrollable, and you can only take one step at a time.
But at this moment, someone suddenly shouted, "Look!" Everyone's eyes followed the high place he pointed, and saw that the vine-like plants hanging down on it actually shook, and under the light pillar of the flashlight, there was a huge black shadow shrouded in it.
This will not crush people to death! It was so big that several people couldn't close their mouths in shock, and when they opened their mouths, they felt that their mouths were dry and they couldn't speak.
At this moment, a choking smell came, initially faint, but as the black shadow got closer and closer, the smell became even more choking and pungent.
"Hey, all those ghost things have scattered," Lin Fatzi suddenly said in disbelief.
Several people's bodies floated up and down, their eyes didn't match at all, they only heard the fat man's words, and then looked down, sure enough, those termites began to disperse one after another, and some of them ran slowly, actually turned their bodies, and their bellies turned up and died.
Zhang Baiguan was afraid that it would be poisonous gas, so he hurriedly reminded everyone to cover their mouths and noses. No one dared to hold it up, and they all followed Zhang Baiguan's instructions.
"I look like a coffin," Shoko said, squinting slightly.
"Damn, it's really a coffin!" Lin Fatzi answered.
The coffin was getting closer and closer, and the rest of the people didn't answer, because they could see it clearly, it was a coffin, but it wasn't an ordinary coffin.
Rather, it is a kind of coffin called a 'tree coffin', which is usually a thick tree, a section is cut off, and the middle part is hollowed out, and the body is buried in it.
The volume of this 'tree coffin' is quite large, but it is far from as large as the shadow projected before, the closer the tree coffin is to the ground, the slower the floating amplitude of the iron cable, the tree coffin gently falls to the ground, and everyone's eyes also fall, and the iron rope finally stops.
The coffin landed one meter behind the statue.
The waves in the hearts of several people or the shock brought by the scene in front of them have not subsided, because the iron cable fluctuates up and down, so when the iron cable stops moving, the hanging height of several people is also different.
Lin Fatzi is alone in a high place, and Zhang Baiguan is the closest to the ground.
Looking at the corpses of termites all over the ground, as well as the choking smell in the air, Zhang Baiguan's hand covering his mouth and nose still did not let go, and he cautiously walked towards the coffin.
Zhang Baiguan has seen this kind of tree coffin, but this kind of coffin is generally used in Mongolian funerals, why do the Xixia people also use this!
If Li Jiancheng, who is familiar with the history of Western Xia, is here, he must know that the war between Western Xia and Mongolia in that year, the war was to some extent also to speed up exchanges between different cultures.
Although the Mongolian burial habit in this Western Xia tomb is somewhat incredible, it is still acceptable.
But Zhang Baiguan didn't know, so he couldn't figure it out for a while.
Lin Fatzi was the last to fall to the ground, but at this time he was the closest person to the coffin.
Lin Fatzi also has seven or eight years of experience on the road of pouring coffins, ordinary coffins, Lin Fatzi is an expert, and he knows whether there is any inside information when he looks at the coffin.
The material of this tree seems to be the legendary 'gloomy wood', and the fat man saw some ways, but he didn't dare to be sure, so he didn't say it.
But Long Xu on the side opened his mouth and said, "This tree coffin is not simple!"
The masters of the dragon gate thieves all spoke, which made Lin Fatzi have a bottom in his heart, and he was almost sure that this was the legendary gloomy wood, why did he say that it was the legendary gloomy wood? That is because the preciousness of this wood is almost hard to find, this kind of wood is usually not found at all, this kind of gloomy wood is also called 'ebony', the legend uses this kind of wood as a coffin, which can take care of the integrity of the corpse without decay, and even the same appearance as before death, of course, this is a legendary story, after all, few people have seen it.
At least Zhang Baiguan and Lin Fatzi have never seen each other.
Lin Fatzi looked at this coffin with hot eyes, damn it, if this thing wasn't too big and had to be taken out, the value of this kind of wood was really high.
And Zhang Baiguan is looking at the sealing method of this tree coffin, the usual coffins are nailed to death with coffin nails, and some are sealed with tree pulp, and even more directly sealed the coffin with molten iron. The coffin in front of me seems to be directly blocked with a piece of wood, of course, this is not the word blockade to summarize the past, it should be said that this piece of wood just fits perfectly with some of the 'concave and convex' places of the coffin.
The appearance of this coffin is basically without any traces of carving, and it is the most natural appearance of the original, immortal for thousands of years.
"Fatty, light four candles!" Zhang Baiguan said with his mouth open. Although it is not taboo to do anything in this business, the rules of the ancestor still have to be followed.
Lin Fatzi responded, and ran to the four corners of the coffin and lit four candles, the flames were rising, burning brighter and brighter, and there was no situation to extinguish at all, unlike the coffin in the previous tomb, as soon as it was lit, the candle was extinguished immediately.
Zhang Baiguan was almost certain at this time that this was the real tomb, and those outside were all empty tombs used to confuse others.
And those corpses, obviously preached, corpses are extremely easy to deceive corpses, may have harmed a lot of peers over the years, I'm afraid there are not many people who have arrived here.
Zhang Baiguan knocked on the surface of the coffin, listened to it with his ear attached to it, and it was almost certain that it was solid, and it was true that there were people buried inside.
After Lin Fatzi Mali lit the candle, he didn't take his eyes off this coffin, damn, the burial is so high-end, the things hidden in it must be amazing.
Legend has it that Qin Shi Huang was buried with a remarkable bead in his mouth, which is said to bring people back from the dead.
Although the tomb in front of him cannot be compared with the tomb of the Qin Emperor, this tomb is also extremely elegant, and it is not to be underestimated that those true and false mounds are not to be underestimated.
Lin Fatzi stared at the coffin, almost drooling: "Grandma's, this time I made a lot of money." Lin Fatzi knocked lightly on the coffin a few times.
Zhang Baiguan had already made up his mind in his heart, and was about to open the coffin, and before opening the coffin, he looked at the flames of the candle running high, which couldn't help but make Zhang Baiguan feel at ease.
Looking up again, I saw that the rattan-like plants that had fallen from a high place made the place even more eerie.
The coffin was surrounded by the crowd, and the statue had its back to the crowd.
Lin Fatzi rolled up his sleeves, full of energy, and was quite well prepared, as long as Zhang Baiguan gave an order, he would be allowed to take down this coffin.
Zhang Baiguan asked Long Xu before opening the coffin, saying that there was anything wrong.
Long Xu shook his head over Zhang Baiguan.
The dead fat man couldn't wait, and urged urgently. Zhang Baiguan squatted down, took out his knife from his pocket, and was about to start.
Suddenly, Long Xu spoke: "Use mine!" The strangely shaped knife that Long Xu grabbed with one hand, and the two dragons climbing on both sides of the blade seemed to be about to take off at any time.
Lin Fatzi looked at the antique knife with hot eyes and said, "Come, give it to me, the fat man will open the coffin." ”
Long Xu scolded: "Dead fat man, if you give it to you, I'm afraid that there will be no return." ”
Lin Fat Man seemed to have been seen through his thoughts, and he laughed embarrassedly a few times and said: "How can the fat man be the kind of person who is small, misunderstanding, misunderstanding." ”
Long Xu stared at Lin Fat Man playfully, this look made Lin Fat Man a little uncomfortable, Lin Fat Man laughed a few times, suddenly, a hand on Xiao Qiang's shoulder, went to tell Xiao Qiang about his heroic past, since he became 'Touch Gold Captain', Lin Fat Man often feels very lonely in life!
Long Xu turned around and said, "What do you see, do you want it?"
Zhang Baiguan did not hesitate, and took the knife over there, only to feel that it was heavy, probably three or four times the weight of an ordinary dagger. Zhang Baiguan couldn't help but ask out loud: "Does this knife have a name?"
