Infinite Myth Counterattack

Chapter 278
The Xiling warriors and the soldiers from the engineer Juezi Battalion worked together, picked up tools, and tied the jade coffin with ropes. A few strong Xiling swordsmen went up, pulled the ropes, and dragged the jade coffin out of the tree.

A tall human shadow was reflected in the jade coffin. This shadow was extremely heavy and black, with a head and two shoulders. The shadow below the shoulders was very wide. It seemed that there were many other things in the coffin, but it was difficult to judge from the shape. Something, it may be the utensils buried in the jade coffin.

Everyone surrounded it one after another. There were many exquisitely carved patterns on the top of the jade coffin. The entire floor was engraved with mandarin ducks, swan geese, foxes, rabbits, deer, deer, elephants and other rare birds and animals that symbolize auspiciousness and spirituality. The four corners of the beast are also decorated with flowers and plants in different shapes in a symmetrical arrangement.

The surroundings of the jade coffin are engraved with lotus petals, embellished with diamond-shaped honeysuckle reliefs, and in the middle of each side is a lifelike little parrot with a ganoderma lucidum in its mouth.

Chen Yulou observed for a while, and suddenly became excited. He said quickly: "The reliefs on these jade coffins have a peaceful and docile appearance. Although their expressions are a little dull, their saber techniques are simple and lively, gorgeous yet profound."

"This technique is very close to the simple and simple style of the Qin and Han Dynasties. Could it be that this is an accompanying tomb for the King's Tomb? If so, doesn't it mean that the entrance of the King's Tomb is nearby?"

Luo Laowai looked at the shadow reflected in the jade coffin, and said impatiently: "Don't worry about the entrance, we can't open the coffin?"

Hua Ling squatted next to the jade coffin, sniffed at the hole where the bright red liquid leaked out, looked up and said: "These fluids don't smell like blood, so it shouldn't be blood, but it smells very strong of traditional Chinese medicine, maybe it's used for An antiseptic potion."

Luo Changfeng nodded, and said: "Then open the coffin! The sun is about to set, and the sky will soon be dark. The sooner we settle it, the better we can camp early."

Chen Yulou said: "I don't think we should open the coffin, this jade coffin is worthless, it's already broken anyway, just smash this side up! Release the fluid."

Seeing what Chen Yulou said, the others also had no objection. A Xiling warrior picked up a big hammer and smashed it at the jade coffin that had been blasted by the mortar shell.

The jade coffin was in a tree before, and the power of the explosion was mostly absorbed by the tree trunk, so the jade coffin was not blown to pieces.

With a few hammers falling down, the jade coffin was smashed smoothly, and the fluid in the coffin poured out with a "crash", revealing an obese corpse.

It was the corpse of a fat old man, which was quite well preserved. His face was larger than that of ordinary people. According to the photo book, he had a horse face.

I saw that the corpse had white beard and eyebrows, a bun on the head, and the whole body was completely naked. It seemed that it had been soaked in the blood-like liquid for too long, and the body was slightly red.

This old man, who has been dead for more than two thousand years, is still preserved so vividly that he can even be described as "fresh and alive".

What is even more frightening is that below the shoulders of the corpse, a giant python whose skin has been peeled off is wrapped around the body. The connecting parts of the python corpse and the human corpse have been fused together, making it difficult to separate.

Moreover, the skinless python corpse was covered with countless red flesh threads, and the python meat would throb a few times every so often, as if it had just been skinned and was not completely dead.

The countless red meat threads on the python corpse seemed to be alive, shaking slightly from time to time. These flesh threads were all connected to the bottom of the jade coffin.

In this exquisite jade coffin, the walls and top cover are made of XZ Mitian Jade, while the bottom is made of a piece of paulownia wood. The red meat thread in the coffin passes through the bottom of the paulownia coffin and connects to the inside of the old tree. The corpse, the python, and the jade coffin have all been connected together, and they can no longer be separated.

Looking at this scene, Hua Ling's throat moved, Hao Xuan didn't spit it out, it looked too disgusting.

At this moment, Luo Laowai didn't bother to look for the artifact. Seeing the strange scene in front of him, he said in a loud voice, "What the hell... what the hell is this?"

Partridge Whistle said thoughtfully: "This should be the stinging technique that was prevalent in the ancient Dian Kingdom. This python must be a so-called stinging python, and these two couples' old banyan trees have been parasitized by the resentful souls in the python corpses." , in other words, this tree is a giant python."

Speaking of this, Partridge Whistle raised his head, looked at the crumbling old banyan tree, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, there must be many animal corpses in the tree, and those fleshy threads can absorb the blood of animals and serve as the foundation for this tree." fertilizer."

Hua Ling suddenly understood why Luo Changfeng said before that this tree would never die, but it was already dead.

Luo Changfeng said to Luo Lao crookedly: "Luo Shuai, your brothers should have brought some gasoline, right? Burn this corpse in a while, as for now, cut off those fleshy threads, and drag the corpse out with the 'peeping claws' , take out the Ming device first."

"Okay." This proposal fell right into Luo Laowei's arms.

A swordsman pulled out his long sword, cut off the fleshy thread connected to the corpse, and dragged the corpse to a distance with his probing claws, clearing an open space to ensure that the forest fire would not be caused. Then he picked up some dry firewood and put it on the pile , pour gasoline on it, throw a match on it, and work together.

The corpse was dragged out, and all the effusion was drained, so naturally only the burial artifacts remained in the jade coffin.

There are not many artifacts in this jade coffin, there are only six pieces in total, but they are very precious at first glance. The other four pieces are nothing special, just some precious gold and jade vessels, only two of them are special.

One of them is a golden mask, which may be worn by a wizard or a priest in a ceremony. It has an extremely weird shape, and it is all made of real gold. The eyes, ears, mouth and nose are inlaid with pure green and white jade.

These jade ornaments are all movable, and when in use, the wearer of the mask can remove the green and white jade from the gold mask.

There are dragon horns on the head of the mask, the mouth is shaped like a tiger's mouth, and the ears are shaped like fish tails, making it look very ugly and ferocious.

But what moved the three brothers and sisters of Partridge Whistle the most was the ornamentation of the golden mask.

The circles are all in the shape of swirls, which look a bit like eyeballs. There are two or three layers of small circles in the middle of a circle. The outermost layer seems to represent the eyeball, and the inner layers represent the pupil of the eyeball. .

Seeing these familiar patterns, the three brothers and sisters couldn't help being a little excited. It seems that the legend of the Muchen Bead in the King Xian's tomb is true, and the fate of moving mountains for thousands of years will come to an end in their generation.

Another special piece is a short dragon-tiger stick, which is made of blue 厱 (lán) stone. It is similar in length to the rolling pins used by ordinary people, with a slight curvature. The place where the beast's body meets is the handle in the middle.

The shape of the dragon and the tiger is simple and lacks the agility of the artworks of the Han Dynasty, but it exudes a vigorous and heavy atmosphere. It seems that it is at least an ancient relic before the pre-Qin period.

Luo Laowai beamingly ordered his subordinates to clean up these artifacts, freed up a back strap containing explosives, and installed these artifacts.
