The Huai Shui God's Cave

Chapter 19

At that time, his first feeling was that it was difficult to breathe. The tomb was closed, so he couldn't think about it. He hurriedly searched for a way out, but found that the door of the tomb was sealed and could not be opened at all. There was no passage in the tomb, so he turned his eyes To the coffin on the stone platform.He thought that there might be a secret passage in the coffin, or a mystery to open the door of the tomb.

When he tried his best to pry open a gap in the copper coffin, there was a scene that took him out of his mind: there was a man wearing a golden mask lying in the coffin, and he only saw the head.When he moved the fire fold over, he clearly saw a pair of eyes of the mask, which turned slightly and emitted a dazzling light!He was terrified, and fell down from the stone platform with a loud cry. Palpitations and lack of oxygen made him fall to the ground completely unconscious!
He was trembling with fear: "I thought I was going to die, but I vaguely felt that someone came in, but I didn't expect it to be you!"

I looked at the old Taoist priest, and felt that what he said was too watery, especially that he entered this tomb inexplicably, which sounded extremely absurd. The inside should not be very simple, whether it is a corpse or a ghost, you can only know by looking at it.

I don’t believe in the theory of ghosts. It’s not that some scientists have said that the so-called ghosts are just a kind of magnetic field, which is the release of brain waves after the death of the human body. Under certain circumstances, it can interfere with the brain waves of living people. .To put it bluntly, it's not that scary, it's just a human psychological effect.

I gestured to Tang Mo, and the two of us turned onto the stone platform at the same time, one side, and I couldn't lift the coffin lid even with the strength of breastfeeding, but Tang Mo's side seemed to be loose. The guy's hands are very strong.

Taking advantage of my breathing space, I stretched my head to look at the open end of the coffin lid, and vaguely saw a mask.Tang Mei said: "You stand aside, I'll come!"

With a sudden force, he shouted "Get up", and the coffin lid was obediently lifted by him and pushed aside.I shone my flashlight and saw a man wearing a gold mask lying in a copper coffin.A man in royal clothes; his hands are folded on his chest, his skin is delicate and looks radiant, as if he is asleep.

I brought the light of the torch closer, and through the eyeholes of the golden mask, I saw that the eyes inside were actually open, and suddenly flashed a dazzling light!

I was taken aback, gasped, my hairs stood on end, my whole body trembled, my legs trembled, and I almost fell off the stone platform.Tang Mei grabbed me and said, "It's reflected by the light from the flashlight!"

I breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly yelled ashamed, almost ashamed, but fortunately Tang Mo was calm and saw the clue at a glance.However, this corpse is too weird. It looks like it should be the corpse of King Chu Xiang, but after thousands of years, not only does it not rot, but it also has its eyes open!

At this time, everyone stood on the stone platform together, and even the old Taoist Qingfeng, whose hands were tied behind his back, squeezed up to see what happened.This corpse surprised everyone, and for a while, the entire tomb was very quiet.We stared blankly at the corpse for a long time, and we were extremely impressed by the well-preserved corpse.

Ma Chuchen said: "It doesn't look like a corpse at all, he is asleep, right?"

The professor shook his head and said: "It is recorded on the Jiuding that the person in this copper coffin is King Xiang of Chu. It should not be wrong. He has been dead for thousands of years. How could there be such a perfect preservation method at that time? Compared with the Xin coffin in Mawangdui Chase's anti-corrosion technology is not bad!"

Mawangdui Xinzhui's body was preserved using very rare technology, but it was immediately oxidized and blackened as soon as it came into contact with the air.The corpse in front of him had been exposed to the air for a long time, but there was no sign of any change.

"Perhaps we can discover something by uncovering his mask!" Qingfeng suggested in a low voice beside him.Just now he was very frightened, and now he became enthusiastic about this corpse, which made me feel a little unusual.

What the professor was about to say just now probably prevented him from taking off the mask.Because this may cause the corpse to change immediately, and cannot be properly protected in time.However, Tang Mei had already stretched out his hand to uncover the golden mask, and a man in his 40s with a golden crown on his head, a mustache on his lips, and a man in his [-]s who was not angry but mighty was displayed in front of him.His face was pale and red, his eyes were slightly opened, and his lips were slightly parted, as if he had just fallen asleep. He looked very quiet and peaceful, where was there any smell of a dead body?

Everyone was relieved to see that the corpse had not moved at all, as if it was not in any danger, but they still didn't dare to get too close.This corpse is so vivid that I am a little confused: Is it a human or a corpse? Could it be that King Chu Xiang just faked his death and was lowered into a coffin, but in fact he was not completely dead and came back to life?
I remember watching an episode of "Discovery" on TV, which talked about the excavation of a large-scale ancient tomb.During the excavation, a skeleton with dense bones was found, showing a struggling state.In the end, scholars deduced that the owner of the tomb was choked when he ate sweet potatoes, and passed out. The family thought she was dead, so they buried her. As a result, she woke up in the coffin, and finally died due to lack of oxygen. Struggling to truly die for the second time in excruciating pain.

But having said that, even if King Chu Xiang was suspended animation, after so many years, he should have died due to lack of oxygen and hunger, but he looked like he just died.I remembered the story that the professor told about Jiuding, after King Xiang of Chu died, Xi Yao would use witchcraft to keep his body uncorrupted and undisturbed by outsiders.

His body is indeed incorruptible, but our group of people disturbed him. I don't know what punishment he will receive next. It doesn't look like there is any danger!

At this time, a figure bypassed me and rushed to King Xiang's corpse, stretched out his hand like lightning and pinched his cheeks, two fingers pinched a black object from the corpse's mouth, and quickly squeezed the black object Object stuffed into own mouth.While we were dumbfounded, he quickly retreated to the wall.

It's Qingfeng old man, isn't he tied up?At some point, while we were not paying attention, we broke free from the rope and took out the things in the mouth of the corpse.At first he said that there was a ghost in the coffin, and he seemed to be very scared, but just now he kept urging us to uncover the golden mask, and I began to feel that something was wrong with him. I didn't expect that he really had ulterior motives.

In ancient times, among the objects buried with them after death, there were not only gold and silver utensils and ornaments, but also some jade beads, pearls and the like were used to seal the seven orifices of the rich and noble families, and some poor people often used some copper coins and the like. Yes, it's called pressure money.Princes and generals often hold a top-quality jade bead in their mouths, called "Zhuyan Bead", which is said to be able to keep corpses from rotting for a long time.

It seems that Qingfeng Laodao's trip is not easy.Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he took out the stuff from the corpse's mouth and stuffed it into his own mouth, and it was not too dirty. It was really disgusting.Yang Xiaoxie cursed: "Smelly old man, you are really dishonest, spit out the treasure!"

The old Qingfeng smiled and said: "It's impossible to spit it out, unless you cut me open. However, you are all decent people, and you will definitely not do such a thing!"

Tang Mei pointed Yu Wangzhang at Qingfeng coldly, and said, "Do you think you can run this time?"

Qingfeng Laodao also understood that the situation was not in his favor, he laughed dryly, waved his hands, and said: "I have no choice, please listen to me, this pill is useless in the mouth of a dead person, but it can be swallowed into my stomach." , but could save a life.”

I heard some clues, stared at him and asked: "How do you know that there is a pill in the mouth of the corpse? It seems that you have planned it a long time ago. What is going on? If you don't make it clear, you will be beaten immediately." Dead bodies, killing people here is absolutely unknown."

Seeing the ferocious gazes of the few of us surrounding us, the old Taoist Qingfeng knew that he couldn't take it anymore.His eyes flickered a few times, he opened his mouth to speak, and suddenly showed a surprised expression, pointing his finger behind my back and said: "There is a ghost, this time it is really a ghost!"

I thought he was deliberately confusing the public, and was planning to play some tricks, so I was unmoved, but Ma Chuchen beside him also screamed, the sound was very terrifying, as if he had seen something extremely frightening.I turned my head and saw that the corpse in the coffin turned into a withered and blackened mummy at some point.

It turned out that after the things in the mouth of the corpse were taken out, they were oxidized immediately. In an instant, the skin of the whole body became dark and shrunk, the face shriveled like a wrinkled grapefruit peel, and the facial expression also became hideous, leaving only the black skin Bones, with thick white teeth exposed under the lips, it looks extremely terrifying!

At this time, a very small red bug slowly crawled out from the nose of the corpse, and then buzzed and flapped its wings. Before I recovered, it suddenly landed on my left arm and bit it hard. One bite!Before I had time to think about it, I quickly threw it hard and threw it to the ground.Tang Mei stabbed it to death with Yu Wang's spear.I looked at my arm again, and there was a small red dot on it, which was neither painful nor itchy.However, in an instant, a red line slowly spread to the top through the blood vessels under the skin.I was terrified, it seemed that this little bug must be poisonous.

Then, the buzzing sound came again, and it was still a large area, all of which were small red bugs crawling out of the corpse's nose.Tang Mei slapped two of them to death with King Yu's lance, and the rest seemed to have just woken up, hovering and preparing to attack us.The professor shouted: "This is a corpse worm with witchcraft added, it is poisonous! Don't touch it, run away!"

Tang Mei waved the King Yu's lance a few times to temporarily sweep away the worms mixed together, but the corpse's nose continued to crawl, and we hurriedly stumbled and ran outside the tomb.

There are piles of gold, silver and jade objects in the tomb. At this time, it is important to escape, and no one can bother to pick them up.As soon as the group of people escaped from the tomb, Tang Mei stretched out his hand and moved a few times under the lamp holder on the left. At this time, only a few clicks were heard, and the door of the tomb fell in response, completely shutting the corpse insects inside.

3. Levitating mirror

The few of us panted and sat on the ground to rest. I looked at my arm again, the red line had spread to my chest, and the bright red color was very eye-catching.

The professor sighed with a gloomy expression, and said, "Xiao Wu, you are too careless. This kind of corpse insect is poisonous. If you are bitten by it, the venom will flow through the heart along with the blood vessels, and the speed is very fast. Within two hours it will be... oh!"

He didn't finish his sentence, but we all knew what it meant, that is to say, within twelve hours, I will have my pigtails raised.

I was so frightened that I felt cold all over, and collapsed there all of a sudden, extremely depressed in my heart.I'm about to die, I don't even have a serious girlfriend, I haven't done my filial piety to my parents, I haven't enjoyed life well... In a word, I haven't lived enough!
I turned my face and saw everyone's sympathetic eyes.Ma Chuchen reached out and grabbed my hand, and asked the professor worriedly, "Is there no antidote to this poison?"

The professor sighed and said nothing.I suddenly remembered that I still had the Xuanyuan Mirror given by Yuan Xiazi in my pocket; he once said that this mirror can drive away evil spirits and cure diseases, so why not give it a try!
Thinking about it this way, I quickly took out the Xuanyuan Mirror from my pocket.At some point, this Xuanyuan Mirror actually changed its shape and became oval.
