Volume 6 Chapter 7 A good start
The soldiers of the Jieling Lux and the Engineer Digging Battalion worked together, picked up the tools, tied the jade coffin with ropes, and went up to several powerful Jieling swordsmen, pulled the ropes, and dragged the jade coffin out of the tree.
A tall human shadow is reflected in the jade coffin, this shadow is extremely heavy and black, with a head and two shoulders, and the shadow below the shoulders is very wide, as if there are many other things in the coffin, but it is difficult to judge what it is from the shape, it may be the burial utensils in the jade coffin.
Everyone has gathered around, there are a lot of finely carved patterns on the top of the jade coffin, the whole layer is engraved with mandarin ducks, wild geese, foxes, rabbits, roe deer, elephants, etc., which symbolize auspiciousness and spirituality, and the four corners also have different shapes, and the flowers and plants that are symmetrically arranged are decorated.
The jade coffin is surrounded by a shading pattern carved with lotus petals, decorated with a diamond-shaped honeysuckle relief, and in the middle of each side there is a small parrot with a realistic appearance in the middle of the parrot's mouth.
Chen Yulou observed for a while, and suddenly became excited, he said quickly: "The reliefs on these jade coffins have a peaceful and docile appearance, although the demeanor is a little sluggish, but the knife technique is simple and bright, gorgeous and deep. ”
"This technique is very close to the quaint style of the Qin and Han dynasties, is this a companion tomb for the tomb of the king? If so, doesn't it mean that the entrance to the tomb of the king is near here?"
Luo Lao looked at the shadow reflected in the jade coffin, and said impatiently: "Don't care if you enter or not, we can't open the coffin?"
Hua Ling squatted next to the jade coffin, leaned over to the hole where the bright red liquid was coming out, sniffed, and raised his head and said: "These effusions don't smell of blood, they shouldn't be blood, but they have a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine, maybe it's a potion used for embalming." ”
Luo Changfeng nodded and said, "Then open the coffin!" The sun is about to set, and the sky will soon get dark, so it is better to settle it as soon as possible and set up camp as soon as possible. ”
Chen Yulou said: "I don't think I should open the coffin, this jade coffin is not worth anything, anyway, it has been broken, just smash this side directly! ”
Seeing Chen Yulou say this, the others had no opinion, and a Xieling wrestler picked up a sledgehammer and smashed it against the jade coffin that had been blown up by a mortar shell.
Before, this jade coffin was in the tree, and most of the power of the explosion was borne by the trunk, so it didn't blow up the jade coffin.
As several hammers smashed down, the jade coffin was successfully smashed, and the fluid in the coffin poured out with a "bang", revealing an obese corpse.
It was the body of a fat old man, quite well preserved, his face was larger than that of an ordinary person, and according to the photo book, he gave birth to a horse's face.
I saw that the corpse's eyebrows were white, with a bun on its head, and Zhou was naked, as if it had been soaked in the blood-like liquid for too long, and its body was slightly red.
This old man, who has been dead for more than 2,000 years, is still vividly preserved, and can even be described by the word "fresh".
What's even more terrifying is that below the shoulders of the corpse, there is a giant python that has been skinned by a python, and the part where the python corpse and the human corpse are connected has been fused together and can no longer be separated.
Moreover, the skinless python corpse was covered with countless red flesh threads, and the python flesh jumped a few times every once in a while, as if it had just been skinned and was not yet dead.
The countless red flesh threads on the python corpse, as if there was life, trembled slightly from time to time, and these flesh threads were connected to the bottom of the jade coffin.
This exquisite jade coffin, the four walls and the top cover are Tibetan secret jade, but the bottom is a piece of paulownia as the bottom, the red meat line in the coffin, through the bottom of the paulownia coffin, connected to the inside of the old tree, human corpses, pythons, jade coffins, have all been connected together, can no longer be separated.
Hua Ling looked at this scene, her throat moved, and she didn't spit it out, which was too disgusting to look at.
Luo Lao Crooked didn't care about looking for the weapon at this time, looked at the strange scene in front of him, and said in a loud voice: "What's so special...... What the hell is it?"
Partridge Whistle said thoughtfully: "This should be the prevalent technique in the ancient Dian Kingdom, this python must be the so-called python, and these two husband and wife old banyan trees have been parasitized by the resentful spirits in the python corpse, in other words, this tree is a giant python." ”
Speaking of this, Partridge Whistle raised his head, looked at the crumbling old banyan tree, and said, "If I guess correctly, there must be many dried animal carcasses in that tree, and those meat threads can draw the blood of animals and use them as fertilizer for this tree." ”
Hua Ling suddenly understood, why Luo Changfeng said before that this tree would never die, but it had already died, so it was.
Luo Changfeng said crookedly to Luo Lao: "Luo Shuai, your brothers should have brought some gasoline, right? Burn this corpse in a while, as for now, cut off those meat lines, drag the corpse out with the 'probe claw', and take the Ming device first." ”
"Yes. This proposal is right in Luo Lao's crooked mind.
A swordsman drew a long sword, cut off the flesh line connected to the human corpse, dragged the corpse far away with his probing claws, cleared a clearing, and ensured that it would not cause a forest fire.
The corpse was dragged out, the fluid was all drained, and naturally only the burial vessel was left in the jade coffin.
There are not many Ming utensils in this jade coffin, only six in total, but they are very precious at a glance, and the other four are nothing special, that is, some precious gold and jade vessels, only two of them are more special.
One of them was a gold mask, probably worn by a shaman or priest during a ritual, and it was made of real gold, with pure green and white jade inlaid with eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.
These jade ornaments are movable, and when used, the wearer of the mask can remove the green and white jade from the gold mask.
The mask has dragon horns on its head, and its mouth is shaped like a tiger's mouth, and its ears are fishtails, which makes it look very ugly and hideous.
But what moved the three Partridge Whistle brothers and sisters the most was the ornamentation of the golden mask.
The circle is all swirl shaped, and it looks a bit like an eyeball, with two or three small circles in the middle of a circle, the outermost layer seems to represent the eyeball, and the inner layers represent the pupil of the eyeball.
Seeing these familiar ornaments, the three brothers and sisters couldn't help but be a little excited, it seems that the legend of the dust beads in the tomb of the king is true, and the fate of moving mountains for thousands of years will end in their generation.
Another special thing is a dragon and tiger short stick, which is made of cyan (lan) stone, similar to the length of the rolling pin used by the common people, with a slight curvature, one end is the dragon's head, one end is the tiger's head, and the place where the two beasts' bodies meet is the grip in the middle.
The dragon and tiger form is simple, lacking the agility of the Han Dynasty artwork, but it exudes a majestic and heavy atmosphere, which seems to be at least an antiquity before the pre-Qin period.
Luo Lao ordered his subordinates to wipe these bright weapons clean, vacate a back for explosives, and install these bright weapons.
