I laughed at Yu Fatzi for being a captain who touched Jin, why was he so timid, he hadn't seen him for two months, and he was completely no longer brave as he was back then. But when I came back to my senses and looked at the pile of things, I was stunned.

It turned out to be the skeleton of a small child, curled up there, like an unborn fetus in a mother's womb.

"Fuck it!" I cursed to myself.

I had no choice but to crouch down and dispose of the bones. At this time, I found that the dagger in Huai Rujin had been inserted into its forehead, and at the place of the wound, there was a scaly-like bulge, I touched it with my hand, and said, "I heard that this thing can heal the wound, let's cut it off." ”

Yu Fatzi was watching me suspiciously as I cut off the scales with interest, and suddenly I heard Huai Rujin say not far away: "Look, there is a tomb." ”

I had suspected that there might be a burial chamber down there, and I was busy dealing with the snake just now, and I didn't have time to take a closer look at the surroundings, "We were right in our previous judgment. ”

"Looks like we're deep into the tomb." I turned my head to see that there were a few simple steps where Huairujin was standing, and above it was a platform.

Huai Rujin walked on the platform, the flashlight swept, and the relief could be seen on the wall. There was also a passage on one side, and the inside of the tomb was pitch black.

The age of this tomb should be later than the general tomb above, it can also be judged from its location below the tomb, the space is quite spacious, the relief style on the wall is different from the Central Plains, but there are also traces of cultural integration, pay attention to realism, it is carved with flowers and plants, birds, beasts, insects and fish.

I guess I was so uncomfortable by the fetal skeleton that I didn't have the heart to take a closer look. Huai Rujin saw what was on my mind, took out a small metal box, and let me smell it. When I smelled it, I immediately felt refreshed.

"Snuffbox?" I asked.

Huai Rujin smiled and did not speak.

It's the first time I've seen Huai Rujin's smile, and generally only friends trust each other like this, and gradually fade away.

There is a low stone wall on the platform, I stood in front of the stone wall and looked at it for a while, I can't quite tell what this stone wall means, there is a small burial chamber at the end, which is scattered with some burial goods, and in the center of the tomb, there is a mahogany coffin on display.

The shape of the coffin is very different from the ingots coffin in the Central Plains, boxy, and relatively simple, spliced together by wooden strips one by one. However, the shape of this mahogany coffin is still very large, and such a large coffin is rarely seen in other places, and it can even be compared to a coffin set on the outside of the coffin.

"Such a big coffin?" Yu Fatzi looked at the coffin and asked, "There should be a lot of treasures in here, right?" ”

The coffin lid is more elegant, carved with several snakes, and they all have feet, and the snakes are connected end to end to wrap around the coffin lid. However, this carving is really not exquisite, and it only carves a rough appearance.

I glanced at the fat man and sneered: "You take a good look at the broken things on the ground, how much money can the owner of this tomb have?" ”

"yes!" Yu Fatzi nodded and said, "It looks really shabby." ”

Huai Rujin on the side shone with a flashlight, the wood of the coffin was said to be made of mahogany, but the preservation was not good, there were traces of swelling and decay, and some of the nails on it were warped.

"Miss Huai, what do you see?" I asked.

"Why do I feel like this coffin has been nailed to it from the outside?" Huai Rujin said.

"Yes, this piece of wood looks like a cage, how can there be such a coffin?" Yu Fatzi added.

After listening to their analysis, I nodded, "What you said makes sense, don't say it's really a bit like that." ”

"Could it be the coffin outside the coffin?" Yu Fatzi said.

"No, it won't." I said bluntly, "Come and see." ”

I bent down and took a picture on the side of the coffin, as if I saw something famous, "This coffin is nailed to death, don't look at it neatly one by one, but if you look closely, these woods can be disassembled, a bit of a box." ”

"Hey!" When Fat Yu heard this, he suddenly slapped his thigh and said happily: "Li Rui, you are really right." ”

He looked at a piece of rotten wood with a wedge-shaped groove on the inside of the strip, apparently by which the wood was tenoned together. Huai Rujin couldn't help but admire me, "How do you see it?" ”

I waved my hand and smiled, "There are two reasons. The first is that no matter what kind of coffin has a lid, but the lid of this coffin is connected to several other sides, so there must be another way to open it. The second is that the fat man reminded me just now, I also doubted whether it was a coffin, but it is unlikely, this tomb is so shabby, and the use of mahogany is already very elegant, it will not be a coffin, with these two points of analysis, I looked for traces on it, and sure enough, I saw the clues. ”

"Then what are you waiting for, it's going to be opened?" Yu Fatzi was eager to try, "It's not me bragging, this Rubik's Cube, the trap box, the fat man, I'm a senior player who has played since I was a child, I'm the best at opening this kind of thing, don't rob any of you from me!" ”

As he spoke, Yu Fatzi put the flashlight in his mouth and began to pound the coffin, "You are stupid! But I pulled him away.

"What's wrong again?"

"How could a good guy get such a mechanism?" I reminded, "This clearly tells you there's something wrong with it!" ”

"Yes, yes, you kid reminded me right, how did I forget such an important point? Li Rui, Shibei should be impressed for three days, shouldn't you go to the tomb robbery cram school in the past two months? ”

"Get out!"

Fat Yu looked at me hesitantly, "What should I do?" Still can't open? ”

"It's definitely going to be open, but we still have to be careful, little by little, in case there is any movement, there will be time to react."

"Ah, I know, you talk a lot."

After all, this fat man Yu is a captain who touches gold, so he really has a set of tricks. I saw him turn around the coffin up and down, left and right, knocking here, touching there, I don't know how he saw the eyebrows, suddenly found a wooden bar that didn't see anything unusual, and pumped hard, the wooden bar on it changed, some stretched out, some indented, and then the whole coffin magically unfolded.

Yu Fatzi and I immediately took a step back, also worried that something would come out of it. There was a female corpse lying inside, without a trace of corpse transformation, dressed in plain clothes, with kind eyebrows and good eyes, and a beautiful face, as if she was sleeping.

"Wow, this ancestor is still a beauty!" Yu Fatzi said happily.

"You kid be serious!"

"I'm boasting about people, where do you kid want to go!"

There are some funeral utensils inside, which are slightly stronger than the bottles and jars placed outside, such as eight-way incense buckets, bipedal plates, silver ingot plates, petal plates, melon pots, rhombic plates, and so on.

"I thought there were some gold and silver jewelry?" Yu Fatzi said disappointedly, "It turned out to be pots and pans." ”

"You should be content, I have reminded you a long time ago." I laughed, "If you want to get something good, why bother about this family." ”

"Yes!" Yu Fatzi thought about it, but suddenly remembered that the tomb above had been flooded, "Good boy, you are teasing me again!" ”

I rummaged through it, but I couldn't find anything, and I thought, "How did this woman's corpse survive so well in such a coffin that was not very sealed, could it be that there was something special in her body?" ”

Just when I was puzzled, someone approached from behind. Of course, I knew that it was Huai Rujin, and I didn't look back, I just felt that her hand was soft and strong, and she pulled him up at once. I was a little confused about the situation, and looked at her blankly, "What's wrong?" ”

"Be careful!"

I was stunned, but there was no movement inside, "Is there a problem?" ”

Huai Rujin pointed to the wrist of the female corpse hidden under the sleeve and said: "The female corpse is immortal, there must be a reason, if it is not related to the environment of the tomb, then it must have something to do with the things on her body." ”

I seemed to understand what she meant, and looked slightly under the sleeve of the female corpse, wearing a black jade bracelet on her wrist.

"Hey, it's a jade bracelet." Fat Yu also found this bracelet and was about to take it off, but I stopped him and shouted, "Fatty, don't touch it!" ”

Huai Rujin's eyes were very sharp, and Yu Fatzi was startled, "What's wrong?" He immediately obediently stepped back and asked, "Why are you two so nervous?" ”

"See the black jade bracelet on your wrist?" I said, "If I'm not mistaken, this thing must be something called rotten jade, which is very evil and vicious. ”

Rotten jade is a kind of worm jade, and there are many kinds of worm jade itself, which can be roughly divided into three types: rotten jade, eroding jade, and dry jade due to different effects. Worm jade has many strange properties and is extremely rare. The secret of insect jade is similar to the cordyceps that people eat daily, but it cannot be generalized, after all, cordyceps is a fungus parasitic in the insect body, but insect jade is a product of fake death stacking, and the principle of formation is closer to that of polyps.

Ancient people believed that worm jade was alive, and even thought that it was because of evil spirits possessing it. Tomb craftsmen and monks took advantage of these characteristics of insect jade and put it into the tomb as a kind of mechanism.

And this kind of rotten jade is also the most common kind of insect jade. Most insect jade has the effect of embalming and repelling insects, so if you put it on the corpse, the corpse can be immortal for thousands of years, but compared to the erosion jade and dry jade, the shape of the decay jade is relatively more, and it can be made into a variety of different styles. The other two can only exist in the form of rough stones, and once polished, they are likely to disappear.

"I'm right. This kind of black jade-colored rotten jade, also known as Python, looks like black jade at room temperature, but once the temperature rises, it will turn into a mass of black insects called 'cockroaches'. Huai Rujin added, "A single cockroach is extremely small, and it is difficult to distinguish it with the naked eye. They are usually in a state of stiffness, a large number of stacked together, and a gelatinous silicic acid will be secreted between their bodies, which will look like black jade after cementation, but once the temperature rises, the beetles inside will immediately wake up, begin to grow and develop, accelerate their metamorphosis until they mature, and then gather together and fly out. ”
