Chapter 373

When everyone heard Situ Qiao talk about the important place, it seemed that everyone was like him, caught in the dark corridor with no fingers, and they all held their breath. Murong Danyan was even more frightened, and couldn't help but quietly move half a step to Li Qiufeng's side.

Situ Qiao said: "Don't hide it from you, when I was wandering on the rivers and lakes, I was coerced by a group of tomb robbers, and I robbed many tombs with this group. During this period, there were many thrilling experiences, but there were many strange and strange things, but they were never so frightened as when they entered the Yongdao. It was pitch black all around, and as I stood there, I felt as if my heart was about to jump out of my chest. There seemed to be countless pairs of eyes all around, staring at me coldly in the dark......"

Before he could finish speaking, Deng Yao sneered and said, "What's so strange about this? When Lao Tzu entered this stone cave, he was holding a torch in his hand, and he didn't feel that someone was staring at us in the dark?

Situ Qiao knew that Deng Yao was ruthless and wanted to go against him, but he didn't pay attention to him, and still said to himself: "I don't know how long it took before I remembered that I was still holding the fire fold in my hand, and hurriedly shook it a few times, wanting to use the light of the fire fold to see where I was."

"It's just that as soon as I held the fire fold in front of me, I noticed that there was a person sitting not far away......"

When Situ Qiao said this, his voice trembled, and he seemed to have returned to the secret room, his eyes full of horror.

After a while, Situ Qiao continued: "At that time, I was so frightened that my soul was about to fly, my right hand trembled, and the fire fold fell to the ground immediately, flashed twice and then went out. It was dark again, and all I could hear was my heart pounding. I'm not afraid of your jokes, I was so frightened that a voice in my heart was saying to me, 'Run,' but I couldn't move even half a step out of my feet as if I had been caught.

I stood there for a long time, and my mind gradually cleared, and I listened intently, but there was no movement around me except for the sound of my own heavy breathing and heartbeat. I slowly squatted down, groped on the ground a few times from memory, picked up the fire fold, and then stood up straight, shook the fire fold again, and looked forward intently.

"I saw a person sitting three feet away. This man wore a black gauze crown on his head, a crimson robe, and a yellow python embroidered on his chest, circling and flying, very hideous. It's just that the skin and flesh on his face are dry and bone-sticking, and it looks terrifying. Only then did I realize that this man was not a living person, but a dried corpse. And judging from the clothes on his body, this person is wearing an official uniform, and the grade is really not low.

"I have entered the tomb many times with the tomb robbers, and it is not unusual to see a corpse in the tomb. Therefore, if ordinary people suddenly see a corpse, they will definitely be frightened. It's just that for me, it is far more terrifying to suddenly see a living person here than to see a corpse. It was the sight of this horrible-shaped corpse that calmed me down. ”

Murong Danyan thought to himself: "This person is really a monster, but when he saw the corpse, he calmed down. If it were me, I wouldn't want to see any corpses, whether in broad daylight or in the Netherworld Tomb. ”

Situ Qiao said: "Since you are facing a dried corpse, there is nothing to be afraid of." I took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it, only to feel that my mind was clear, and I was no longer as flustered as I had just been. I held the fire fold in my hand high and took a closer look at the situation in the chamber.

By the light of the fire fold, I saw that to the left side of the dried corpse was a rosewood offering table, on which were placed nine plates, and in the plates were placed offerings such as fruits and vegetables. I was stunned, and I thought that I had just seen that the corpse had become a dried corpse, and I thought that no one had come here for a long time, so why didn't the fruit and vegetable offerings on this plate rot?"

When Liu Yong heard this, he couldn't help but say on the side: "Mr. Situ, you said that the corpse you saw was a dried corpse, and it was extremely dry and lacked moisture in this secret room.

Situ Qiao shook his head and said, "Mr. Liu, you only know one thing, but you don't know the other. Unlike the human body, the flesh of fruits and vegetables is not alive, and even if it is dried at first, it will rot over time. Unlike the muscles on the human body, after being dried, they can not rot for thousands of years. I have seen a lot of dried corpses in ancient tombs, but I have never seen dried fruits and vegetables that do not rot. I remember that in a large tomb in Bishui County, I once saw four dried corpses, and there were also grains, vegetables and fruits among the burial goods......"

As soon as Situ Qiao mentioned the ancient tomb, his eyebrows immediately fluttered, and he continued to talk about himself. Everyone wanted to know what he found in the secret room of Dabao'en Temple, and they wanted to know the mystery of Zhu Di's life experience, how could they be in the mood to listen to him say something strange and strange in the ancient tomb? Everyone thought in their hearts: "This person is arrogant and proficient in the secret art of the mechanism, but he is narrow-minded and cannot tolerate people." However, I have always heard that he is most afraid of the roar of the lion in Hedong, and it is not surprising that he has been bullied in the Hua family for so many years, and his temper is stranger. ”

After a long time, Situ Qiao turned around the conversation, only to hear him say: "I was puzzled in my heart, so I took the fire fold around again, looked around for a while, and saw that there was nothing unusual in the light, so I slowly walked towards the offering table. I know that the mechanism outside the secret room is already extremely powerful, and if there is a mechanism in this secret room, it is naturally not trivial. If the mechanism is activated, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape even if I want to. When I walk, I am very careful with my feet. Although it was only more than a foot away from the offering table, it took a long time to get to the offering table.

"All the way, I kept staring at the nine plates of fruits and vegetables, for fear that there was something strange in them, so that I didn't care about anything else. When I arrived at the offering table, I found that there was a golden candlestick at each end of the offering table, with a simple shape, and most of the red candles still remained on each candlestick. I carefully looked at the nine plates on the table, and in the light of the fire, the plates and the fruits and vegetables on the plates were crystal clear and glowing. Sensing something, I reached out my left hand and grabbed an apple from a plate. It's just that as soon as my hand touched the apple, I felt a cold ...... on my fingertips."

When Situ Qiao said this, he raised his left hand in front of him and said to everyone: "I have touched not only the news of the organ with this hand, but also the rare treasures in the world. But the moment I came into contact with the apple, my heart jumped wildly, and I immediately judged that the apple was not from the tree, but ......"

His voice trembled, and he couldn't speak anymore for a moment. Deng Yao said with a smile on the side: "If this apple didn't grow from the tree, I'm afraid that the heavenly immortals accidentally threw it into the mortal world and happened to fall into the secret room." Isn't there a book in the market? It is said that after the monkey became an immortal, he made trouble in the heavenly palace and stole the peach of the queen mother and scattered it in the world......

Before he finished speaking, Lin Yilang smiled on the side: "Gang Master Deng, what you said is not right. The monkey stole peaches, not apples. The queen mother's garden is called Pan Tao Garden, not Apple Garden. ”

The two sang and harmonized, all of which were sarcastic words about Situ Qiao. Liu Yong was afraid that Situ Qiao would ridicule him, and he didn't know how much time it would take. He interrupted Lin and Deng's cynicism with his hurried remarks, and said to Situ Qiao: "Mr. Situ, what happened?"

Situ Qiao said: "Since ancient times, if you look at preciousness, a good piece of jade is far more than gold and silver. In ancient tombs, I often see the most cherished things around the tomb owner, which are all kinds of ancient jade. I have seen a lot of the best jade, and I have a lot of insights into the way of jade. When the finger touches the apple, it is immediately determined that the apple is carved from a single piece of jade. The quality of this jade is unprecedented. What's even more ingenious is that the color of the jade happens to be similar to the apple, and the jade carver carver carved this natural jade into an apple with exquisite skills, which is just like the real thing.

I took the jade apple in my hand and put it in front of my eyes to look at it carefully. This apple is carved vividly, not to mention that I am more than a foot away, it is close in front of me, if you don't reach out and touch it, you will never find that it is not a real apple, but carved from jade. This jade apple is extremely precious, and it can be said to be a priceless jade. If it is sold on the market, even if someone bids 10,000 gold, it is not as valuable as this jade apple. I played for a long time before I put the jade apple on my plate. When the fingers unintentionally touched the plate, the heart was a chill, and if you looked closely, the plate was actually carved with green jade, the tentacles were cold, but crystal clear, and it was also an extremely rare treasure.

I was amazed and delighted, and I rummaged through the other fruits and vegetables on the plate, all of which were carved from jade. In particular, there is a jade cabbage and a bunch of jade purple grapes, which are the treasures of treasures, which are rare treasures in the world. I played for so long that I forgot that I was in danger, and I just felt that it was worth the risk to see these treasures of the world.

"I put these jade carved fruits and vegetables back into the jade plate, and then I remembered to use the fire fold in my hand to light the candles at both ends of the offering table. This candle is different from ordinary candle flames, it actually contains butter, and after it is lit, the candle flame rises almost a foot high. Although there were only two candles in the chamber, they illuminated the surroundings as if it were daylight.

"In the candlelight, I realized that there was a statue behind the offering table. The statue is life-size, a middle-aged woman wearing a phoenix crown and a yellow dress. This woman is carved so realistically that it looks like a real person. I saw that her face was like a disc, and she had the blessing of Yongrong and luxury. It's just that although the corners of his mouth are raised, there is a slight smile, but there is a bit of loneliness in his eyes, and a trace of sadness can be seen in the smile.

I looked at this statue and thought to myself: "Compared with the statue outside the secret room, I am afraid that this person in front of me is the main person to be enshrined in the Great Bao'en Temple." Could it be that the statue outside is just a faΓ§ade for the real Queen Ma to be enshrined in this secret room? Thinking that Zhu Di, as the emperor, was a stubborn and self-righteous person, and he wanted to worship his mother, how could he place her in this secret room? Not to mention that although the statue outside the secret room was extremely luxuriously dressed, his face was portrayed like a ghost, and the person who made the statue had no sense of respect, but as if he had a deep hatred, and wanted to scandalize it in order to vent the hatred in his heart.

"I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't understand the joints, so I couldn't help but go around the offering table and walk to the statue. When I got closer, I suddenly realized that the statue was not made of mud, but carved from a single piece of jade. The eyes of the jade statue are no different from real people under the light of the candle flame. I was shocked, how could there be such a skilled craftsman in the world who could carve this jade into a vivid real person? Even if there really is such a jade master, it is even more difficult to find such a precious raw jade than to ascend to the sky. In this secret room, there is weirdness everywhere, and I am still ecstatic to see the rare treasures in the world, but at this time, I feel a cool air rising from the soles of my feet, and my whole body is cold, like falling into an ice cave. ”
