Tomb robbing: only one person can do it

Chapter 42 'Up the Wood'

"This place is so weird, why does this coffin appear here?" Xie was a little confused. Could it be that the strange noise was an accident? Could it be that simple?

Just when Xie was thinking wildly, the black blind man took out a short knife and directly removed the plant roots on the jade coffin lid. In an instant, several people could see clearly many exquisite patterns, including fox, deer, elephant, crane and fish. There are rare birds and animals symbolizing auspiciousness and spirituality, and the four corners are decorated with various flowers and plants of different shapes.

?Xie raised his head and said: "Although the patterns on this jade coffin are a little dull, they are gorgeous and exquisite. The style is somewhat like that of the Western Han Dynasty. This jade coffin should just be a companion to the mausoleum."

The fat man made a strange "Ah" sound and said, "Naive, this is wrong. How come there are things from the Western Han Dynasty in the tomb of Wu Xianguo?"

"Tsk." Hei Xiazi looked at the two men and said, "As far as I know, the new emperor Wang Mang once came to Yunnan Worm Valley. According to records, he was looking for something. I don't know if there is any connection between this coffin and Wang Mang. Maybe it was left behind at that time, I don’t know for sure.”

The fat man couldn't help but said impatiently: "No matter what kind of tomb this is, we met these people in this jade coffin. It is also a kind of fate. There may be some big treasures in it."

?Xie directly pressed the fat man's shoulders and said in a bad tone: "Fat man, don't get excited. We haven't figured out what's going on with this jade coffin yet. Besides, this witchcraft is unpredictable, and this red liquid, I don’t know what will happen if I open it.”

The blind man stepped forward and said, "This liquid does not seem to have the smell of blood. Instead, it has a medicinal smell. It should not be blood. It may have other functions. The strangest thing is why this coffin is in this tree."

The blind man frowned, as if he didn't understand the tomb owner's intention.

The fat man said: "What's all the fuss about this? Maybe it's because the coffin was buried well in the ground, and the banyan tree just happened to push up the coffin, and over time, it wrapped it in. What's wrong with this?" of."

"This should be 'Shangmu'."

The slightly cold voice suddenly appeared at this moment, instantly attracting the attention of several people.

?Xie's face looked a little strange, and he looked at the little brother and asked: "Brother, what do you mean by 'Shangmu' you just said?"

The younger brother glanced at the jade coffin and said coldly: "In ancient times, some people believed that tree burials had more special meaning than burials in cemeteries. Because trees are the ladder for the soul of the deceased to ascend to heaven, and have the function of reaching the sky, the soul of the deceased will Reaching the heaven through trees can transform into immortals. Trees symbolize life and vitality, so they are given a special meaning of souls ascending to heaven. This method is called 'climbing the trees'."

?Xie said in surprise: "Does the person in this coffin want to become an immortal and live forever?"

The younger brother shook his head and said: "The jade used in this kind of jade coffin is Tibetan Heavenly Jade. This kind of jade is generally used by warlocks or wizards outside the country to restrain and suppress."

The fat man yelled and said, "Maybe the person in the coffin is a wizard or a warlock."

?Xie lowered his head and looked at the small hole, and said in a daze: "I am afraid that this coffin was put into the banyan tree artificially, and this small hole is the Mingtang hole of the tree coffin. It is said that Zinglong Mountain is a cave heaven and blessed land. This The location of the banyan tree is probably on a certain star."

Black Blind Man also said: "Wuxian Kingdom is good at witchcraft and Gu, and advocates cultivating Taoism and becoming immortals. Most of the people in the country are wizards. I don't know whether the person in the jade coffin is a wizard, or whether he has become an immortal." .”

The fat man "sneered" and said disdainfully: "He is just an immortal. Even if the person in the coffin becomes an immortal, he is still a corpse immortal."

Then he said anxiously: "Stop talking, let's take down this coffin quickly. I want to see if the person in this coffin is a human or an immortal. I can see from the way here that the people in Wu Xian Kingdom are not good birds. This kind of Ill-gotten gains will not be taken for nothing.”

The black blind man nodded and said: "It makes sense. We may also be able to find some clues from this and understand the Wu Xian Kingdom better."

Everyone wanted to open the coffin. The black blind man and the fat man used short knives to peel off the bark on the coffin lid. They found that the coffin lid did not have coffin nails. It seemed to be a drawer type. The coffin lid and the coffin body were tightly connected. groove.

After the blind man found the coffin, he called to the fat man. When he was about to take action, the sunlight from the sky shone on the jade coffin, and a tall black shadow appeared inside, very heavy and black, as if there was something huge inside!

There's something strange especially under the shoulders, which is very wide, but I can't see clearly and it's hard to tell what it is.

"What's in here must be a corpse! I'm just saying that becoming an immortal is a lie!" The fat man said with a confident look on his face.

Suddenly, the surrounding area suddenly fell into darkness. From time to time, there were thunderous sounds in the sky, a large dark cloud pressed directly over, the strong wind shook the branches, and there was a "rustling" sound all around.

Several flashes of lightning lit up the entire sky, cutting through the haze in the sky with that dazzling blue light.

After a while, the dark clouds gathered and the lightning and thunder disappeared. When the sun shone on a few people, ? Xie and Qinghuai were still a little unresponsive.

The sky changes for no reason, this unlucky weather seems to symbolize something.

"Hey, where is Fatty?" Qinghuai was a little confused. He turned around and found that Fatty had disappeared at some point. There was only one shoe left next to the jade coffin, which belonged to Fatty.

"Bang bang bang-"

Suddenly, there were several heavy knocking sounds from under the jade coffin. Xie didn't care about his fear and shouted: "Fat man, is that you?"

The black blind man shouted quickly: "If it's you, fat man, I'll knock him three times."

"Bang bang bang-"

After hearing the response, the expressions of the two people suddenly changed. Why did the fat man suddenly run under the jade coffin? The jade coffin was squeezed by the tree body without any gaps. How did the fat man get in with his physique?

It’s better this time, the fat man will be squeezed into a thin man——

Qinghuai was a little anxious, and let go of the little brother's hand and wanted to walk towards the coffin. The little brother quickly grabbed the person and whispered in Qinghuai's ear: "Don't worry, it's okay."

Qinghuai's originally agitated heart seemed to be soothed by these words, and he slowly calmed down. He turned to look at his little brother and said, "Will Pangpang be okay?"

The little brother said "hmm", then turned his head to look at the jade coffin, showing a solemn expression.

? Xie hurriedly tried to pull out the coffin lid. The coffin lid and the coffin body were tightly closed, and there seemed to be some kind of wax seal. Gradually, the knocking sound stopped.

?Xie was in a panic, and couldn't open it more and more, thinking: It's over, it's over, the fat man won't be doomed!

While I was thinking wildly, I felt my ankle tighten, as if it was caught by something. I instinctively wanted to kick my foot back, but then I heard a familiar voice: "Innocent, what do you want to do? Why don't you hurry up and get me?" With one blow, I almost fell to death, Fatty."

?Xie's foot was only a few centimeters away from the fat man's face. If the fat man hadn't spoken quickly, he might have kicked him in the face in the next second.

The blind man stepped forward to lend a hand. The two of them pulled the fat man out and found a tree hole. There were various dense parasitic plants next to the hole. Only after seeing this did he understand why the fat man suddenly disappeared. If the fat man hadn't stumbled, As soon as they went up, they probably wouldn't have discovered that there was such a tree hole in the tree at all.

The fat man patted the clothes on his body and said angrily: "The lightning struck the fat man by surprise just now. He stepped back without paying attention. He stepped on something and tripped. In a panic, I stepped on it. All of a sudden I just fell in.”

?Xie said: "I don't know how many years this old banyan tree has lived, and I don't know how many holes like this there are. You probably accidentally stepped on a small one and tripped, and then lost your footing and stepped on this big hole."

I guess it was because of the thunder that it covered up the strange behavior of the fat man just now.

The fat man didn't know what he was thinking of, and his face looked a little bad. He said: "The cave was very dark. I touched something, but by the feel of my hand, I felt that it was human bones. Not to mention how smelly it was, it was just like the seafood." It’s like it’s been rotten for a month.”
