Chapter 7 [Lights Out Cry]

Having said that, Fatty Haoxuan found the fire and lit the candle. www. The small candlelight illuminated the tomb chamber clearly. It took a while for our eyes to adapt and we began to look at the tomb chamber.

It was the first time for both of them to come back to a place like this. At this time, they no longer cared about being afraid. They just felt that their eyes were a little tired. The tomb was not big, about ten meters square. The dome and the four walls were all made of compacted loess.

It was similar to the cave dwelling we lived in. There were some tattered pots and jars piled in the corners. Soon, we moved our eyes to the center of the tomb, where our target - the coffin - was placed.

I motioned the fat man with my hand to go to the southeast corner and light a candle. This was our rule for touching Colonel Jin and could not be broken. I looked at the coffin carefully. It was better not to look at it, but my heart dropped when I looked at it.

There is only a coffin without a coffin, and the workmanship is not exquisite. It is just like an ordinary thin wooden board. It shouldn't be. Looking at the scale of this tomb, if the owner of the tomb is not a high-ranking official, at least he is rich. How could he be so shabby?

.What is even more chilling is that the coffin lid is half open. I can only pray that the senior can leave something for us who are coming behind.

However, although the coffin is shabby, its style is also special. I saw that this thin coffin is larger at one end and smaller at the other. It is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. It has no curvature at all and has straight edges and angles. Although I don’t have much knowledge about coffins, I dare to say that I can’t stand a coffin like this.

Definitely, definitely not the local style of northern Shaanxi.

Just as I was walking around the coffin, there was first a "crack" sound, and then the fat man's exclamation, and my heart suddenly jumped into my throat.

"Taozi..., come here!" came the fat man's voice, trembling.

I tiptoed over, took one look, and took a breath. I saw a pile of white bones on the ground, the skin and flesh were all rotten away, and only a few tattered rags were left hanging on the skeleton. Fatty

His left foot was stuck in the chest of the skeleton. It seemed that the fat man had broken several ribs with his foot. Then he lifted his leg and the whole skeleton was pulled up by him. It felt like a bone.

The fat man's feet seemed to be grabbed.

No wonder this kid screamed as if he had seen a ghost. He reached out and patted his shoulder and comforted him: "It's okay, he's just a skeleton. Put the candles on and get to work!"

That's what I said, but my scalp is still numb. When we fought in Beijing, blood was common, but everyone knew it well and didn't dare to kill anyone. Occasionally one or two were too dirty, even if

It's a violation of the rules and it's outrageous. Just a few days before we came to northern Shaanxi, at the end of June, wasn't the cruel little bastard Zhou Changli stabbed to death near the zoo?

So, in essence, Fatty and I are good kids. We have never seen a dead person, let alone these bones. Fortunately, the light was not very bright, so when we looked up, we pretended we had not seen it.

The fat man is a real person. When he heard what I said, he didn't think much. He shook his legs hard. The skeleton was completely shaken and his feet were freed. The fat man carefully placed the candle in three strokes.

Go to the southeast corner, then take out another candle and light it.

While the fat man was lighting the candle, I endured my nausea and squatted down to take a closer look at the skeleton on the ground and the clothes it was wearing. After the fat man came to me with the candle, I stood up and said to the fat man

: "It looks like the old uncle of Secretary Li was trampled to pieces by you. Hehe, be careful when you go back. The old man will fight you tooth and nail!"

"Stop talking nonsense!" the fat man replied with a smile.

The two of us just talked about whether we had something to gain or not, while leaning against the coffin. We were nervous, and if we didn't say something to distract our attention, we were really afraid that we would lose the courage.

Taking a deep breath, the fat man and I lifted the half-open coffin lid and gently placed it on the ground.

By the candlelight in the fat man's hand, I carefully looked at the person lying in the coffin. It was not like I thought, he should have rotted into bones long ago. I don't know why, but the dead person who was sleeping in this thin coffin was not dead.

It did not rot in the end, but dehydrated and turned into a mummy.

The rest of the place was covered by clothes and couldn't be seen clearly, but his face was clearly illuminated under the candlelight, which made Fatty and I feel horrified. His skin had turned dark brown and stuck dryly to his face, making his cheekbones look like cheekbones.

The bones are very high. The mouth is wide open and the teeth in the mouth are incomplete, as if they have bitten something solid and have all broken.

There was still hair on his head, spread out messily to both sides. The strange thing was that only the sides of his head had hair, and there was no grass from the forehead to the top of his head. I finally understood what was wrong, damn, this is not a Song Dynasty tomb, it is obviously Xixia

The tomb of the Dangxiang clan was deceived by Old Man Li.

The face of this mummy seemed to have a strange attraction. The fat man and I just stared at it blankly, and we didn't recover for a long time.

After all, the fat man was very nervous. He came to his senses, shook my arm, and asked, "What's next?"

I came to my senses and said decisively: "Now that we are here, what else can we do? Touch it!"

"Touch?" The fat man swallowed and said with difficulty: "Come here!"

I had no choice but to spit on my hands, rub them together, put on gloves, and put my hand into the coffin.

According to our rules for touching Jin Xiaowei, we must not do anything impeccable, fight upside down, or damage a person's feng shui or destroy a person's body. While I recalled what was said in the book, I started from the calf of the mummy and moved up inch by inch.

Well, there is a belt around the waist. Judging from the material, it should be a jade belt. It won't be untied for a while. You may have to reach behind your back to untie it! We are not prepared to touch the corpse rope used by Captain Jin to strip the clothes of the dead, so we can only

Let it go first, and then use stupid skills to unlock it later.

Then I touched up until I touched the right hand of the mummy. I was overjoyed. There was a door. It looked like it was a jade pendant. I twitched it, but it didn't move at all. It's strange. According to the custom, it is not until the deceased is buried that the jade pendant is removed.

The deceased's favorite thing was placed in his hand for him to hold. It shouldn't be so tight! I used all my strength and almost broke the fingers of the mummy before I pulled out the jade pendant.

It came out. I didn’t have time to look at it carefully, so I stuffed it into my arms and touched the left hand of the mummy. This kind of thing usually comes in pairs, and there should be a piece of it on the left hand.

Sure enough, the mummy's left hand was holding tightly, and it looked like it was a jade pendant. I didn't say anything, break it off again. Damn, this mummy must have been left-handed when he was alive. The left hand held it tighter than the right hand. I even used the strength to suck milk.

I still couldn't pull the jade pendant out. Just when I was about to call the fat man to come over for help, I suddenly felt a light touch on my hand, and the jade pendant was already lying obediently in the palm of my hand.

This kind of ancient jade pendants that come in pairs are usually worth a lot of money, and this trip was not in vain. I happily took the jade pendants into my arms, and was wondering whether to continue touching them or stop here, when the fat man suddenly touched me.

, I guess I am tired of waiting.

I waved my hand to signal him to take it easy and let me think about it again. After a while, he touched me again, and he immediately became angry and shouted:

"You're not done yet, let me think about it!"

As soon as I finished speaking, I felt something was wrong. Why did the candlelight keep shaking? I raised my head and saw that the fat man was standing opposite me with a pale face, and the hand holding the candle was shaking like crazy.

The person opposite was the fat man. Who was the one who touched me just now? I felt terrified. I lowered my head and saw that the mummy was still lying underneath. But..., under the flickering candlelight, I could clearly see that his face was rapidly changing.

White fluff sprouted from the ground, covering the entire face in an instant, and the big mouth that had been open slowly closed. Then the coffin shook, as if something was struggling desperately...

"Ah!" In the panic, I didn't know whether it was me or the fat man who screamed.

The fear in my heart was almost reaching its limit, but if it happened again, it would be like pouring a basin of water into a boiling oil pan, causing the pan to explode immediately.

I was so frightened that I jerked my hand away and staggered back several steps. I didn't know what I had mixed with it, so I sat down on the ground. The fat man was not much better. I saw the candlelight in his hand shaking for a while, and then the tomb chamber...
