Chapter 137: Opening the Coffin
Could this stone town on Longtou Mountain have anything to do with the snow-covered caves of Kunlun Mountain all year round?
"There won't be a woman in this sarcophagus! Why don't we go! Spirit Pattern said in a trembling voice.
It seems that she was also bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope
If you come here, you will be safe, take a look first, and then talk about it, maybe you can find out some clues about your background! You're after me! I whispered comfort to her
The three of us walked to the big sarcophagus, the black sarcophagus is about two meters high, no less than four meters long, there are three stone steps on all sides, and there are no patterns or words on the four sides of the sarcophagus! The strangest thing is that in this damp mountainside, the sarcophagus is extremely smooth, without a trace of moss and dust, and it is still slightly glowing black under the light of the flashlight.
"Someone doesn't come to clean it often!" Ye Lingwen said to himself.
I was puzzled when I held the flashlight: "The gate has been dusty for a long time, and when I come in, I smell musty!" How could anyone have ever been here? Unless the person in the coffin crawls out and cleans it himself! ”
"Don't talk about it! It's weird and scary," Ye Lingwen immediately interrupted me
"There's definitely something quirky here! Take a closer look and be careful," Ye Guangci said while staring at the sarcophagus
I then stepped on the stone steps, stretched my neck to see the situation on the coffin lid, and saw that the coffin lid was smooth and flat, so I turned over and climbed up, and found that only a strange pattern was carved in the middle of the coffin lid, which looked like the outline of a dragon, but the lines were very simple, and it could be said to be a freehand dragon. There are two characters engraved under the dragon that seem to be ancient characters, but unfortunately I don't know any of them. So I took out my phone and took a picture of the words and patterns.
"This coffin seems to be Hetian black jade, a whole piece," Ye Guangci said as he stroked the sarcophagus with his hand below.
I was surprised to hear him say this, he used to be in the antique entertainment business, and since he said that, there is a good chance that he is right. How much is such a big piece of Hetian black jade worth! From ancient times to the present, I have never seen such a large piece of Hetian black jade in historical records! Besides, how did the ancients transport such a large piece of jade here? This stone must be estimated to weigh more than a dozen tons.
Ye Guangci and Ye Lingwen also climbed up at this time, and they squatted beside me to watch the pattern on the coffin lid! After looking at it for a long time, Ye Guangci pointed to the pattern and said: "These two words look like words, but I have been playing antiques for sixty or seventy years, and I have never seen this kind of font!" It's so weird! Could it be that these two are not words but pictures or ciphers? And the pattern on the lid of this coffin, I always feel as if I've seen it somewhere, do you have an impression of the spirit pattern? ”
Ye Lingwen on the side stared at the pattern under his feet, left and right, and shook his head blankly.
This is very strange, their father and daughter have lived in a simple house for many years, and they are inseparable, Ye Guangci should not have the opportunity to see such a strange pattern, even if he really saw it somewhere, Ye Lingwen must be by his side, and he should be able to see it!
"Why don't we go, it's important to save people, Brother Wei is still waiting for us to save it!"
Spirit Pattern stood up and anxiously urged us! However, I can feel that after the last adventure on Kunlun, she is still apprehensive about the contents of the coffin! Even I still haven't figured out why the female corpse in the cave of Kunlun Snow Mountain is so fresh! It's like falling asleep! It is impossible to explain it with science alone, and now there is an identical coffin in this Qinling Mountains! It's incredible!
I suddenly had an ominous premonition, and I wanted to get out of here as well.
Seeing me like this, Ye Lingwen jumped off the sarcophagus and prepared to leave, but Ye Guangci still looked carefully around the strange pattern and didn't seem to hear my words. I watched him pull out his throwing knife and place it in the dragon-shaped dragon body on the surface of the coffin lid, which coincided with the blade. I thought to myself, could this throwing knife be the key to open this sarcophagus? If this is the case, then the people who built this sarcophagus and the contents must have a lot to do with their father and daughter. Maybe we can solve the mystery of their immortality.
I suddenly looked forward to the opening of the sarcophagus, and forgot the fear in my heart, Ye Guangci and I jumped off the sarcophagus, staring intently at the huge sarcophagus in front of us, wanting to see if the coffin lid could be opened, and even more to see what was inside, but after waiting for a long time, there was no movement, and everything around us was as usual.
Ye Guangci also seemed to be quite disappointed, climbed up again, took the flying knife from the dragon body pattern, and said, "Let's go, remember the position!" Next time we'll bring the tools and come back."
At this moment, I only felt a slight vibration under my feet, and the huge coffin lid opened like a mussel shell, and there was no sound at all, as if someone inside had quietly opened a door for us, waiting for us to enter!
The three of us were terrified, and we covered each other and stepped back, ready to deal with the unexpected, but after a long time nothing happened, everything was as usual.
"I'll go over and have a look! If it's safe you come up again! Ye Guangci stepped forward with the flying knife in his hand.
I and Lingwen stared nervously at him from behind, when a cold wind blew from somewhere, and actually blew out an oil lamp on the stone pillar behind me! The already dimly lit hall was even darker.
And Ye Guangci had already climbed onto the sarcophagus at this time, and was lying on the edge of the sarcophagus and looking inside!
I looked at him nervously from behind, for fear that there would be something terrible in the coffin, and the last encounter on Kunlun Gonger Peak still makes me still have lingering palpitations.
Come here, come here, Ye Guangci didn't look back and beckoned to me and Lingwen!
I didn't know what he saw, but whatever it was, at least it didn't scare him.
So I pulled the spirit pattern and walked towards the sarcophagus! Ye Guangci never looked up, just kept waving to us, I was curious in my heart and didn't know what he saw, so that he stared intently like this, but it was definitely not the lifelike female corpse we saw on Kunlun Mountain! .
I came to the sarcophagus, my legs were slightly vertical, and I went to the sarcophagus and looked inside, and the huge coffin was empty, not to mention the corpse, not even the carved words or patterns! Ye Guangci on the side was holding a flashlight motionless to shine on a corner at the bottom of the coffin, I found that there was a string of necklaces in that corner, the surface of the necklace had turned black, and I couldn't tell what material it was, but the necklace was inlaid with a black gem, the size of a pigeon's egg, the surface was smooth as jade, spotless, and there was a glimmer of light under the light of the flashlight! At first glance, you know that it is worth a lot!
I thought to myself: such a big coffin, there is nothing just this necklace" Is such a huge sarcophagus just for such a necklace? Speaking of value! This coffin is much more precious than this chain. It's really strange that there are many things every year, especially this year, and then I suddenly remembered the female corpse in the cave of Gonger Peak, the female corpse had a lifelike face, a full dress, but she didn't wear a single jewelry on her body, could it be that this chain was hers?
"Anyway, since this sarcophagus can only be opened with your flying knives, then this chain must have a lot to do with your background, let's take it! Wei Shengjin really won't come here for no reason! I said to Ye Guangci as I reached out and took it.
"Wait! Be careful! I'm afraid there is a mechanism in this sarcophagus! Ye Guangci grabbed me.
I thought about it right, so I took off my jacket and backpack and threw it into the huge sarcophagus, and the three of us immediately flashed aside.
After a few moments, there was no movement in the sarcophagus, and everything was going on around me, so I jumped into the sarcophagus again, picked up my jacket with one hand, and put it on the side of the sarcophagus.
"It's okay to make this necklace into a jade box, I don't know what the person who made this sarcophagus thinks?" I crouched next to the necklace and watched!
"Forget it! Don't want to! Take it home and study it slowly! Seeing that the necklace was nothing special, I reached out and picked it up.
"Wait!" Ye Guangci also jumped in, and he stretched out his hand to stop me:
"Although it's okay for you to throw your jacket in, but if a person wants to touch this chain directly, who knows if it will touch any mechanism, such a large sarcophagus containing such a small thing makes people feel very weird in itself, so it's better to be careful."
With that, he untied his trekking poles from his backpack, tied the small aluminum pot for boiling water to it, and scooped the necklace into the small aluminum pot.
