Chapter 115
There is no love for no reason, no hatred for no reason, and the sky will not suddenly thunder in the daytime for no reason. In the inauspicious air, this huge change seems to be brewing.
Apart from the lightning in the gaps between the clouds, there was no trace of things around me, so I had to turn on the tactical spotlights on the mountaineering helmet again. I was about to go to the other end of the tree canopy to see what happened, but I found that the fat man who was about to open the coffin with me was gone. I hurriedly asked Shirley Yang: "Have you seen Xiaopang?"
Shirley Yang shrugged. She had just found something strange at the bottom of the jade coffin. The sky suddenly darkened, so she didn't notice where the fat man was going. We hurriedly searched around. Why did such a living person disappear in the blink of an eye? There was no movement. I looked around and found that there was a shoe next to the jade coffin. It was not someone else's, but the fat man was wearing it.
At this time, a few bumps suddenly came from the completely closed jade coffin. To me and Shirley Yang, the sound was even more thrilling than the thunder in the sky.
I didn't care about being afraid at this time, so I asked Shirley Yang to help open the coffin to save people. How did the fat guy run into the jade coffin? Could it be that he was touching gold, but the rice dumplings in the jade coffin were touched? But the gaps in the jade coffin were sealed with wax. There was no other opening except for those small cracks. How did the fat guy enter it? This was simply an antimatter phenomenon.
Shirley Yang was more cautious: "Don't worry, figure out what's going on first. We can't confirm it now. The movements in the jade coffin must be sent by the fat man."
I said to Shirley Yang: "How about not being anxious? If you don't do it, the cucumber and vegetable will be cold. If you are afraid, I will do it alone and take out the fat man no matter what you say. I really don't believe it... Can a coffin scare us like this?"
After I said that, I didn't care whether Shirley Yang agreed or not. I put the gas mask on my face, rolled up my sleeves and twitched the lid of the jade coffin. The jade coffin was tightly closed and it was difficult to open in an urgent situation. I had to let Shirley Yang use a paratrooper knife to remove the wax glued in the gap in the lid of the coffin. I heard the sound of knocking in the jade coffin, sometimes sometimes without movement.
I was in a hurry and sweated all over. Seeing that there was no movement, I thought that the fat man had probably finished playing and had already sold candy to Liang. When I was anxious, my ankle tightened and I was grabbed by someone. I was instinctively holding up the pickaxe and wanted to hit it when I turned around, but someone said behind me: "Commander Hu, for the sake of the party and the country, please pull your brother quickly. There is a big hole in the tree... But I'm so fucking to death."
I looked back and saw that the person talking was the fat man. He was struggling to drill out of a tree hole behind me. I quickly reached out and pulled the fat man up. The hole of the tree was covered with various dense parasitic plants, like a natural trap. If I didn't step on it, I wouldn't be able to find it. There are many holes like this, such as big and small, and I don't know how many of the old banyan trees are covered with vines and green moss. If I step on the small one, it will easily sprain my ankles. When I catch up with the big ones, I may fall into it. Moreover, the plants at the entrance of the hole are very soft. After people fall in, they will immediately connect to the ridge, which is difficult to see through.
It turned out that when we were about to "promote and make a fortune", the fat man was startled by the sudden thunder from the sky and took a step back unconsciously. Unexpectedly, he stepped on the air and fell down. The sound was covered by the thunder at that time, so he didn't notice it for a while.
I looked at the fat man and then looked at the jade coffin. If the fat man hadn't hit the coffin and made a sound, who would it be? Is it so hard that there are really zombies in this world who can move during the day?
When Shirley Yang saw the fat man crawling back, he asked the fat man what was in the tree hole. The fat man said that there seemed to be many bones and vines there, but he didn't dare to look closely. Not to mention how smelly the tree hole was, it made his forehead hurt.
Shirley Yang said to me and the fat man: "You two come here to take a look. This incident is far beyond our expectations. The crew members of the C-type transport aircraft did not all parachuting and escape. At least one of them died here. His corpse was pressing under the jade coffin. The underside of the jade coffin may be associated with the tree hole that the fat man fell."
I heard what she said was strange, so I stepped on the lid of the jade coffin to the other end. As Shirley Yang said, there was a human hand pressing on the corner of the tomb bed of the jade coffin. The palm of the hand was facing down and did not rot into a bone, but was completely dry. The dark brown dry skin wrapped around the bones, and the muscles and moisture were gone. Four fingers tightly inserted into the tree body under the jade coffin. I thought it had been a long and painful struggle before my death, and the fingers of the hand bones pressed a small double-headed clip.
I was confused and completely confused. This was the hand of a dead person. Seeing that a corpse was pressed under the coffin, who was he? How was he pressed down? What was the sound just now in the jade coffin?
Shirley Yang said that this double-headed clip was used as a simple Taoist drama for communication when the Allies counterattacked Normandy, and could make two kinds of sounds, first used in the 82nd and 101st Paratrooper Divisions, and indeed send out the Moss code signal.
After hearing this, the fat man and I nodded a little. Could it be that there is a dead soul who died under the coffin and wants to contact us?
Shirley Yang said to us: "The armband with a sleeve exposed on this arm is the uniform of the US Air Force during World War II, and there is such a double-headed clip. China does not have it. I guess there is something... harmful in this jade coffin. And there is a tree hole under the coffin, which connects each other and devours the lives passing by nearby ones. Last night, the pilot undead killed by the jade coffin sent us a warning signal, not wanting us to repeat his mistakes."
I said to Shirley Yang: "Last night was a mess, and I don't know what to warn us? Could it be that there was a ghost in this coffin and I wanted to harm the three of us? Then why didn't we notice anything?"
As soon as I said that, I immediately thought that we were probably wearing authentic "gold touching talismans" and Guanyin pendants made by Big Gold Teeth. These things are all evil and evil ancient things, but are these things really that useful? I was not sure about it. There must be ghosts in these two old trees. In those holes hidden inside the tree, I don’t know if there are any evil demons and heretics.
In order to get the truth out, we all started to pull out the lid of the jade coffin. The jade coffin was full of black and red-colored purple liquid. Except for the different smell, it was just like plasma.
We don’t know if the liquid is poisonous. Although we wear gloves, we still dare not touch it directly with our hands. The fat man used a seductive snatching the shadows. I used a mountaineering pick and reached into the jade coffin and took it twice. In the blood-like solution, the mountaineering pick and hung out a corpse of an obese old man. There was only a very thin layer of cereal crystal on his body, as thin as a cicada’s wing. The "cereal crystal" is very precious. Legend has it that when Emperor Gaozu of Han was in great service, he wrapped such a layer of cereal crystal in his golden-thread jade clothes, which was similar to the modern protective film. However, there were no chemical additives in the things at that time.
The fat man cut the layer of cereal crystal with a paratrooper knife, completely exposing the body wrapped in it. The old man's body was preserved quite well inside, and his face was even longer than that of ordinary people. According to the photo book, he gave birth to a horse's face. The corpse was white and had a tiny on his head, and his body was naked. It seemed that he had been soaked in the blood-like liquid for too long, and his body was slightly red.
The fat man cursed: "This dead old man has been fat all over his body. I don't know how long it has been dead. Why hasn't he rotten so far? I'm afraid the corpse will change sooner or later. It's better to burn it as soon as possible to avoid hidden dangers." As he said that, he tried to poke the corpse's face with "smudge" and tried to poke it twice. The corpse was still very elastic and not stiff at all, not even like a dead person, but was sleeping soundly.
Shirley Yang said to me: "It seems that there are still a lot of things in the solution in the jade coffin. You can take it out first and then pay attention to it."
I think this old man who has been dead for more than two thousand years is still preserved vividly. He can even be described as "fresh and vivid". It is really bizarre. I cannot think about it carefully. The more I think about it, the more I feel the more cunning it. So according to what Shirley Yang said, I planned to use a mountaineering pick to pull out the white-bearded old man's body so that I can make room to see what else there is under his body.
Unexpectedly, the starting point was extremely heavy. With the strength of my hands pulling it with a mountaineering pick, it was no problem to have a hundred pounds. The weight of the white-bearded old man's body far exceeded my expectations. He pulled it down and didn't move at all, afraid that it would be worth hundreds of pounds.
I couldn't help but wonder, was it this naked body with another heavy object attached to the bottom?
I pulled out the mountaineering pick from the corpse, and hooked it in the middle of the jade coffin, and a bloody skinless python was opened from the red and black fluid. The three of them were shocked to see this scene. It turned out that there was a giant python with python skin wrapped around the shoulder of the old man's corpse. The part between the python corpse and the human corpse was merged together because it was too long and it was difficult to separate. No wonder I felt so heavy when I pulled it just now. Moreover, the skinless python corpse was covered with countless red flesh lines. The python meat jumped a few times every once in a while, as if it had just been peeled and not dead yet. When we heard the knocking sound in the jade coffin, it was probably what it made.
The muscles and tendons on the python are clearly visible. I don’t know what method I used to peel the python skin. Judging from the thickness and size of the python, although it is much smaller than the one we saw in the "Zhelong Mountain" cave, it is still much larger than the ordinary python. When I think of the green-scale monster python, I immediately think of the "surgery" of King Xian's evil voodoo.
The fat man pointed to the skinless giant python and asked us to see the many red meat lines growing on the python corpse, saying, "There are things on the python meat, why are they like fish and bugs? It seems to be connected to the coffin? Old Hu, you grabbed it, I'll catch something underneath." As he said that, he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to start a journey to catch the moon in the sea.
Seeing this, Shirley Yang hurriedly stopped the fat man. After all, he didn't know the foundation of the dark red fluid, so he should not be touched casually. He should use a mountaineering pickaxe or "smudge" to salvage it bit by bit.
I lifted the fat old man's body up with force. Shirley Yang used a mountaineering pick, and the fat man used an engineer shovel to search the hedge-building style in the fluid in the jade coffin, constantly hooking up a few items from it. The first thing I found was a golden mask. This mask may have been worn by a wizard or a priest during the ceremony. It was extremely weird in shape, and all of them were cast in real gold, with pure blue and white jade inlaid with eyes, ears, nose and mouth. These jade decorations are all active. When used, the masked person can
Take these blue and white jade covers off the golden mask. There are dragon horns on the head, the mouth of the mask is a tiger's mouth, and the ears are fish tails, which look very ugly and ferocious. But what shocks us the most is the pattern of the golden mask, which is full of vortex shapes. The composition of these vortexes is simple and looks a bit like eyeballs. There are two or three small circles in the middle of one circle. The outermost layer seems to represent the eyeballs, and the layers inside represent the pupils of the eyeballs.
Seeing these familiar carvings, Shirley and Fatty Yang and I were a little excited. It seems that the legend of King Xian has "The Legend of Dust Pearl". This time, I had a real contact and felt a little clear in my heart. Even if I had a life of death, this trip to Yunnan has not been in vain, and it will be worth the effort of eating and drinking dew.
The second is a short rod of dragon and tiger, which is ground with green stones. It is similar to the ordinary skeleton used by ordinary people. The short rod of green stones has a little curve. One end is a dragon head and the other end is a tiger head. The place where the two beasts meet is the handle in the middle. The shape of the dragon and tiger is simple, lacks the agility of the Han Dynasty's artistic style, and does not have a sense of reality and vitality, but exudes a strong and profound atmosphere. It seems that it is at least an antique from before the pre-Qin period.
The fat man looked at these objects, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, wiped the clear objects taken out of the jade coffin, put them in deer skin bags that were moisture-proof and air-resistant, and prepared to take them back as spoils.
Shirley Yang was anxious when he saw this. He forced himself to rob the people in broad daylight. Isn’t this equivalent to robbing the tomb? After taking the photo and reading it, he should put it back quickly.
The fat man stopped doing it when he heard this: "What did you do when you leave from Beijing to Yunnan? Isn't it just to get a vegetarian weapon? I finally opened a vegetarian and wanted to put it back, but there was no door."
I also advised Shirley Yang: "What is to rob the tombs or not? It's so ugly. It's true that it is a marquis who steals the country, and those who steal the seduce the seduce will be punished. At least the lieutenant will have the rules of "digging the gold" and "digging the gold" and "digging the gold" and "digging the wealth" and "digging the wealth" will be more than ten thousand times better than those thieves who steal the country and the people. Since ancient times, people with ambition have practiced the way for heaven to fight against injustice. These things are put in the deep mountains and forests with the years, which is the greatest irresponsibility to the people. But I think that those who can only take a clear tool, and the old-fashioned rules that cannot touch gold at dawn should also change as the reform and opening up further..."
While the fat man was busy installing a utensil, I whispered in Shirley Yang's ear: "I dare not take this thing back, so I will take it back and play for a few days. When he has enough fun, I will come to you. Which museum you are willing to donate to is as you wish. This is called looking at plums to quench thirst. If you donate it to the fat man, it will easily affect morale. The heaviest equipment will be pointed at him and carried."
Shirley Yang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I really can't do anything to you. We have the words first. Apart from the use of the Yunchen Bead to save lives, we must never do anything to touch gold. You should know that I am for your own good..."
I quickly pretended to be grateful and sincerely expressed that I would live up to her earnest expectations. With my Chunchun teachings, I thought to myself: "If you leave what you have to do after you go back, I will talk about it until you go back. I dare not touch the bronze ware. This jade and gold ware... I have never promised Chairman Mao that I would forget what I said to others anyway. Even if I take a step back, these things are obviously sacrificial utensils, and they are very likely to have a direct connection with the Dust Pearl. No matter what, I cannot take care of any rules this time, so as not to regret it when I use it in the future."
I was working on my wishful thinking, but Shirley Yang found something in the coffin again. The countless red flesh lines on the python corpse seemed to have life, shaking slightly from time to time. These flesh lines were connected to the bottom of the jade coffin.
Unexpectedly, this exquisite jade coffin has four walls and top cover of Tibet Secret Jade, and the bottom is based on a piece of "cucumber wood" and the red flesh line in the coffin is transmitted through the bottom of the "cucumber wood" coffin, connecting the inside of the old tree, the human corpse, python, and jade coffin, which are all connected together and can no longer be separated.
Looking down, you will find that the trees under the base of the jade coffin have completely decayed due to lack of nutrients. They are only covered by parasitic plants, barely supporting the jade coffin above. Below is a bottomless tree hole, which should be connected to the hole where the fat man fell. These tree holes are cleverly camouflaged by the vines of the parasitic plants. After being broken, these natural camouflages will grow quickly in less than three days, covering up the traces of the tree hole. Use a "wolf eye" flashlight to shine inward. They are all kinds of animal mummies wrapped by vines, including several human bodies.
