Chapter 114: Raising the Coffin and Making a Fortune
There is no love in the world for no reason, and there is no hate in the world for no reason, and the sky doesn’t suddenly thunder so much in the middle of the day for no reason, and it was as if this great change was brewing in the ominous air.
In addition to the lightning between the gaps in the overcast clouds, the surrounding area has been dark and indistinguishable, I had to re-light the tactical spotlight on the mountaineering helmet, I was about to go to the other end of the tree canopy to see what happened, but found that the fat man who was ready to open the coffin with me was nowhere to be seen, and I was busy asking Shirley Yang: “Have you seen Little Fatty?”
Shirley Yang shrugged her shoulders, she just found something strange at the bottom of the jade coffin, coupled with the sky suddenly darkened up, so did not pay attention to where the fat man went, we rushed around to look for such a big living person, how a blink of an eye said no on no? Not even a little movement, I looked around and found that there is a shoe next to the jade coffin, not someone else’s, it is the fat man wearing.
At this time from the completely closed inside the jade coffin, suddenly came a few bang bang bang bang, in me and Shirley Yang heard, this sound is simply more thrilling than the heavenly thunder.
I could not care less about fear at this time, greeted Shirley Yang quickly help hands to open the coffin to save people, fat guy how to run to the inside of the jade coffin to go, could it be touching the gold, anti-jade coffin in the dumplings to touch in? But this jade coffin seams are sealed with stone bridge wax dead, in addition to that a few small cracks, and then there is no other opening, the fat man so big, how to enter the inside to go? This is simply anti-material phenomenon.
Shirley Yang is more cautious: “Don’t be anxious, first figure out what is going on, we are still not sure, the jade coffin inside the movement, it must be the fat man issued.”
I said to Shirley Yang: “can not be anxious, and then do not do it cucumber vegetables are cool, if you are afraid of me to do it alone, what also have to pull out the fat man, I really do not believe it …… a coffin will be able to scare us into this way?”
I finished regardless of whether Shirley Yang agreed, the gas mask buckle to the face, roll up the sleeve to pump the jade coffin lid, the jade coffin closed very tight, urgent difficult to open, had to let Shirley Yang with a parachute knife, the coffin lid gap in the adhesive stone bridge wax removal, only to hear the jade coffin in the sound of knocking, from time to time, and slowly there is no movement.
My hands and feet out of a cold sweat, see suddenly no movement, thought fat most likely finished, has been separated from the fart towards the cool sell plucked sugar to go, is from the time of anxiety, suddenly a tight ankle, was grabbed with a hand, I out of instinct lifted the mountaineering pickaxe, back to the hand on the hit down, but heard someone in the back of the said: “Hu Commander, for the sake of the party state’s part, you hurry up to pull the brother a hand, the tree! There is a big hole …… can fucking fall dead old man.”
I turned back to look, talking is the fat man, he is struggling to drill out from a tree hole behind me, I hurriedly reached out my hand and pulled the fat man up, this tree hole mouth is full of all kinds of dense parasitic plants, like a natural trap, if not stepped on it, simply can not be found, such as this large and small holes, this old banyan tree also do not know how many exactly, are crawling with plant vines and green moss, stepped on the Small will be easy to break the ankle, catch the big, the whole person may fall in, and the hole of the plant is very soft, people fall in, immediately after the Hoplong, it is not easy to recognize.
It turned out that in our just ready to do hands “rise to the top” when the fat man was the sky suddenly came the sound of thunder startled, unconsciously back a step, did not expect a foot step, fell down, the sound was covered by the sound of thunder, so for a time did not notice.
I looked at the fat man, and then looked at the jade coffin, if it is not the fat man in the coffin knocking to make a sound, then who would it be? Is there really a zombie in this world that can move in the daytime?
Shirley Yang saw the fat man climbed back, then asked the fat man in the tree hole some what, the fat man said that there is a black Gulongdong, seems to have a lot of bones and vines, but did not dare to look at the tree hole, not to mention how much smell, choking the brain pain.
Shirley Yang said to me and the fat man: “you two come over here to see, this thing is far beyond what we expected, C-type transport aircraft crew members, not all parachute escape, at least one person is dead here, his bones in this jade coffin under the pressure, the jade coffin under the possibility and the fat man fell under the tree hole is connected. ”
I listened to her words are strange, then step on the jade coffin lid to the other end, as Shirley Yang said, the jade coffin of the tomb bed in front of the corner of the pressure of a human hand, the palm of this hand down, did not decay into white bones, but completely dry, black and brown dry skin wrapped around the bones, muscle and water are gone, four fingers fingers tightly inserted into the jade coffin under the tree body, want to be a long and painful struggle before death. Painful struggle before death, the thumb of the hand bone pressed a small double-headed clip.
I was confused, completely confused, this is a dead man’s hand, look at the appearance of a body was pressed under the coffin, who is he in the end? And how did he get crushed underneath? And what was the noise in the jade coffin?
Shirley Yang said that this double-headed clip, in the Allied counterattack on Normandy, began to use as a contact between each other as a simple road drama, can send out light and heavy two kinds of sound, the earliest is in the eighty-second with the 101st paratroopers division in the use of the Morse code signals can be sent out.
Fatty and I heard this, more or less touching the head, could it be that there is a dead soul that died under the coffin wants to get in touch with us?
Only to hear Shirley Yang said to us: “This arm reveals a sleeve armband, is the uniform of the U.S. Air Force in World War II, and this kind of only double-headed clip, China is not, I presume that there is some kind of …… hazardous things in this jade coffin, and the coffin is under the tree holes, interconnected. Devour the life that passes through the neighborhood, last night, there was killed by the jade coffin of the pilot’s undead to us to send a warning signal, do not want us to repeat his mistakes.”
I said to Shirley Yang, “It was a mess last night, I don’t know what we were warned about. Could it be that there is a ghost in this coffin that wants to harm the three of us? Then why didn’t we notice anything.”
I just said, then thought, probably we are wearing the authentic “touch the gold talisman”, and the big gold teeth to get the Guanyin pendant, these things are the evil antiquities, but these things really work so well, my heart is not half sure, these two old trees must have ghosts, those hidden in the tree inside the hole inside, I don’t know what evil demons. I don’t know what kind of evil things.
In order to find out the truth, we were all hands, the jade coffin lid was drawn out, the jade coffin is full of, all black with red descending purple liquid, in addition to the smell is different, and plasma generally not two.
We do not know whether the liquid is poisonous, although wearing gloves, still do not dare to use their hands directly to contact, the fat man with a probe Yin grab, I use the mountaineering pick, into the jade coffin fished two, in the blood-like solution, mountaineering pick hanging out of an obese old man’s body, the body is only a very thin layer of crystal, as thin as cicadas in general, “蠠 crystal” is very precious! Legend has it that when Han Gaozu’s great line of work, inside the witch hazel, it was wrapped in a layer of crystal, and the modern role of the security film is almost the same, but at that time, there was no chemical additives.
The fat man with a paratrooper knife cut through the layer of quartz crystal, let wrapped in which the corpse completely exposed, only to see that the old man’s body in which the preservation of the body is quite intact, his face is more grown up than ordinary people, according to the book, he is born a horse face, between the corpse of the whiskers and eyebrows are white, the head pulled a bamboo utensil, up and down the body of the body is not hanging on, it seems to be that the blood-like liquid immersion for too long, the body is slightly reddish.
Fatty cursed: “This dead old man all fat, do not know how long has died, how to now not rot, I am afraid that sooner or later to be a necrophilia, not as early as possible a fire, so as not to flow hidden trouble.” Said with “probe Yin grasp” in the face of the body to try to poke twice, the body is still very flexible, not at all stiff, not even like a dead person, but in a deep sleep.
Shirley Yang said to me: “There seems to be a lot of things in the solution in the jade coffin, you first fish it out to take a look, and then take care of it.”
I think this has been dead for more than two thousand years of the old man, still preserved vividly, and can even use the word “alive” to describe, really strange, this thing can not think about it, the more you think about it, the more you feel seepage, so I rely on what Shirley Yang said, ready to use a mountaineering pickaxe to pull out the white-bearded old man’s body in order to make room to see under his body, there are still a lot of things. place to see what else is under his body.
I did not expect, hand heavy exception, with my hands with mountaineering picks to pull the force, then there are a hundred pounds is not a problem, and the weight of the white-bearded old man’s body, far beyond my expectations, a pull only under the ripples, for fear of not less than hundreds of pounds of weight.
I can not help but wonder in my heart, is it this naked corpse, underneath also connected to other heavy things?
I pulled out the mountaineering pickaxe from the body of the tuck, in the jade coffin in the middle section of a hook, even from the red in the black cumulative liquid, Kai out of a bloody skinless python, the three saw this scene, were startled, the original body of the old man below the shoulder, wrapped around a python was stripped of the python skin of the python, python body and human body parts, due to the time has been too long, has fused to the together, and difficult to split, no wonder just now a pull under the will feel so heavy, and no skin of the body. Feel so heavy, and the skinless python body is full of countless red flesh lines, the python meat every now and then a few jumps, seems to have just been peeled off the skin, is not yet dead through the general, we heard the jade coffin within the knocking sound, it is likely to be issued by it.
This python body muscles and veins are clearly visible, I do not know what means to peel the skin of the python, look at the python’s thickness and size, although smaller than the one we saw in the cave of the “Shade Dragon Mountain”, still larger than the ordinary python, remembering that the green-scaled python, and then associated with the dedication of the King of the wicked voodoo “痋术”.
Fatty pointed to this skinless python, let us look at the python corpse on the growth of many red flesh lines, said: “This python meat above still growing things, how with the fish worms like, seems to be still connected with the bottom of the coffin, the old hu you tugged, I fished underneath what is there.” Said rolled up his sleeves, want to go down to the bottom of the sea to find the moon.
Shirley Yang saw the fat man hastily stopped, after all, I do not know the bottom of this dark red liquid, can not be casually contacted, or with a mountaineering pickaxe or “probe Yin claw”, a little bit of salvage is more stable.
I force the fat old man’s body to lift a piece of Shirley Yang with a mountaineering pickaxe, the fat man with an engineering shovel, in the jade coffin of the cumulative liquid in the hedge search, constantly hooked out from the inside of a few items, the first discovery of a gold mask, the mask may be a sorcerer or priests in the ceremony, the shape of the bizarre incomparable, all the gold casting, the eyes, ears, nose and mouth inlaid with pure green and white jade, these jade ornaments are Is active, when used, with the mask wearer can put these green and white jade cover tut, from the gold mask down, mask head with dragon horns, mouth shape is a tiger’s mouth, the two ears into the fish tail, looks very ugly and hideous, but the most shocked us is the gold mask ornamentation, a circle is full of vortex shapes, these vortex composition is simple, looks a few points like the appearance of the eyeball, a circle A circle in the center of two or three layers of small circles, the outermost layer seems to represent the eyeball, the inner layers represent the pupil of the eyeball.
See these familiar carvings, I and Shirley Yang fat three people can not help but some excitement, it seems that the dedication of the king has “雮 dust beads” legend is not false, this time there is a practical contact, the heart slightly bottom, even if it is a nine deaths, this trip to Yunnan after all, is not in vain, not in vain, many of the hardships of the wind and dew.
Second is a short staff of dragon and tiger, is with green quartz stone ground into, and the common people home with the length of the unusual dry staff similar to the green quartz stone short staff slightly with a little curvature, one end is the dragon head, one end is the tiger head, two beasts where the body meets, is the middle of the grip, the dragon and tiger form of the ancient and simple, lack of the Han Dynasty art style of the spirit of the movement, but also does not have a sense of reality and vitality, but exudes a kind of majestic and heavy atmosphere, looks like It was at least an ancient artifact from before the pre-Qin Dynasty.
Fatty looked at these artifacts, wiped the saliva at the corner of his mouth, wiped clean these pieces of bright artifacts fished out of the jade coffin, put them into a moisture-proof and air-erosion-proof deerskin pouch, and was ready to take them back as trophies.
Shirley Yang look anxious, this broad daylight to take by force, this is not tantamount to tomb raiding? After taking photos and looking at them, you should hurry to put them back.
The fat man heard also quit: “All the way from Beijing to Yunnan, why did you come here? It is not just for the sake of inverted to touch the Ming ware, it is not easy to open the fast, want to put it back again, not even a door.”
I also advised Shirley Yang said: “What tomb raiding is not tomb raiding, how hard to hear, there is a way to steal the country’s marquis, steal the hook is executed, at least the gold miners and poor death three do not dig, rich death three do not pour the rules of the line, is not better than those who steal the country and steal the people of the bandits to be over ten thousand times, since ancient times, the aspiring soldiers are on behalf of the sky to cut down the unrighteousness, these things are placed in the mountains and old forests with the years with the decay, that is the The greatest irresponsibility to the people, but I see that what can only take a Mingqi, and what the dawn can not touch the gold of the ancient rules, should be with the further depth of reform and opening up, but also changed ……”
I took advantage of the fat man busy loading Ming ware, whispered in Shirley Yang’s ear: “This thing backward also dare not go out, just let the little fat take back to play for a few days, wait for him to play enough, and then I want to come over to you, you are willing to donate to which museums as you wish, this is called looking for plums to quench their thirst, not let the fat man to see a little sweetness, easy to affect the morale of the most sunken and heavy of those equipments, but also have to point to him to carry it.”
Shirley Yang shook his head and laughed bitterly: “really take you no way, we can have a word in advance, in addition to the 雮 dust beads used to save lives, must not do what touch the gold hook, you should know, I’m for your own good ……”
I hastened to pretend to understand the appearance of love, sincerely said that must live up to her ardent expectations, and simple teachings, but in my heart I thought: “go back after the matter, stay to go back and say, bronze I dare not touch, this jade gold Ming ware well …… I did not guarantee to Chairman Mao, and others say words! Anyway, I sleep a sleep and forget, even if back a million steps, these things are obviously sacrificial vessels, most likely with that 雮 dust beads have a direct connection, in any case can not be put back, this time what rules can not care about, lest in the future with the time to regret.”
I was playing my wishful thinking, but saw Shirley Yang and found something in the coffin, python body born on the countless red flesh lines, as if alive, from time to time slightly shaking, these flesh lines, are connected to the bottom of the jade coffin.
I did not expect this exquisite jade coffin, the four walls and the top cover is the Tibetan dense heavenly jade, and the following is actually a “buttercup wood” as the bottom of the coffin of the red meat line, passed through the “buttercup wood” bottom of the coffin, connected to the interior of the old tree, the human body, the python, the jade coffin, has been all connected to the body. In together, can no longer be separated.
Looking down the observation, will find that the jade coffin base under the tree has been due to a lack of nutrients, completely rotten, just by the parasitic plants covered, barely supporting the jade coffin above, the bottom is a deep bottomless hole, should be connected with the fat man fell down the hole, these holes are parasitic vines, cleverly camouflaged, these natural camouflage, in the broken, not three days, and will quickly grow to cover the tree holes, to cover the tree holes. These natural camouflage, after being broken, in less than three days, will quickly grow again to cover up the traces of the tree holes, with the “wolf eye” flashlight to shine inward, all kinds of dried animal corpses entangled in the tree vines, which also has a few human remains.
Shirley Yang seemed to suddenly realize: “No good, this jade coffin was skinned python corpse, may be a human chrysalis feeding python, and these two husband and wife old banyan tree, already by python corpse in the human chrysalis of the resentment of the soul of the parasites, this tree is a giant python.”
