Tomb Raiders I Can Hear Antique Talk

Chapter 20 The corpse was spoiled by Yingzi
The huge coffin of the owner of the tomb is quite thick, it feels like a stone, and it looks like it can only be used by nobles.Judging from the murals, the horse bone armor in the back room, etc., the owner of the tomb is indeed a general of the Kingdom of Jin.

It's just that the golden decoration on the black paint made Xiao Ran feel a little uncomfortable.No matter how he looked at it, no matter how he thought it was the face of Xiao Ling, it just looked more abstract.

He tentatively asked Hu Bayi: "Master Hu, do you see this pattern familiar? Does it look like the one I met a few days ago?"

Hu Bayi took a closer look and said hesitantly: "It seems to be a bit like...but the totems of the ancients are those birds and beasts, maybe it's a bit like it."

Xiao Ran wanted to tell Hu Bayi about the mural, but at this time the fat man laughed beside him and said, "Boss Xiao, if you are afraid, then stay with Yingzi and Lao Hu and I will open the coffin. We have no taboos. You This is fearful in the face of battle, but you are about to make the mistake of escapism..."

He said so, li xuan was also afraid of losing face in front of the girl, besides, if he entangled with these things and made some new tricks, who knows if it would delay the next thing, so he had to give up.

Hu Bayi went around the coffin to find the gap, while explaining to everyone: "The best thing in this coffin is the tree cell of the shady wood, which is the core of the tree. This shady wood takes thousands of years to mature, even if it is used by the royal family It is also rare. Putting the corpse in the tree cellar can keep the body from decaying for thousands of years.

"Under the shady wood, there are eucalyptus, linden mahogany, and thousand-year-old cypress. The thicker the core, the more valuable it is. It can not only prevent the corpse from rotting, but also prevent snakes, rats, and ants from destroying the corpse. The coffin in front of us is not as good as the emperor's. Family relatives can definitely be called a luxury..."

While talking, he instructed Fatty and Xiao Ran to insert the engineering shovel into the gap he had chosen.After several attempts by the three of them, the coffin lid was finally lifted with a "creaking" sound.The three of them continued to pry in circles, finally prying all the coffin nails up.

As they pried, bursts of dust rose into the air, causing several people to wave their hands and fan them.The fat man couldn't help sneezing, but Hu Bayi held him down.

"Be careful, don't let the tomb owner steal the corpse by blowing it out in one breath. You'll have to get some gas masks anyway..." Hu Bayi said.

Xiao Ran said: "It's not urgent, maybe I can touch a few later..."

Hu Bayi looked at Xiao Ran as if he was insane, and smiled awkwardly but politely, "Boss Xiao, you are quite humorous..."

When the dust had settled down, the fat man wanted to push the lid of the coffin. Hu Bayi suddenly got excited and told the story to the fat man. The fat thief was chanting scriptures, only to be grabbed by the big green-haired hands protruding from the coffin lid. Yunyun...

The fat man still didn't need to slap his face to pretend to be fat, while Yingzi was scared by Hu Bayi and hid behind Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran was not in the mood to listen to Hu Bayi's story, after all, he had already heard it.His attention was attracted by the antique sound inside the coffin.In the mechanical self-reporting of the house, he heard that the objects inside were at least Song Dynasty official kiln porcelain, and there were even a few genuine Han porcelain.

This has to be taken back to show off to the big gold tooth!
But he didn't hear any sound from the pair of moth-bodied and chi-patterned double-walled biscuits in the hands of the owner of the tomb.It seems that that thing is really not a treasure, it is an ordinary cultural relic, at most it has ornamental value and archaeological value.

But the porcelain inside, with him this time, he had to take everything away.Otherwise, according to Hu Bayi's original routine, he would throw away all the valuable porcelain and take out only two broken pieces carved with dry yellow and discoloration, which would become a dark history of his downturned career...

He was thinking, Fatty and Hu Bayi had finished teasing, they pushed the coffin lid hard, and the whole coffin board fell to the ground with a "boom".

A turbid air that has been stuffy for hundreds of years rises, and the faint smell of ammonia and moldy stale smells choking Xiao Ran's eyes.

The turbid air dissipated in an instant, and the body of the golden general in the coffin was exposed to everyone's eyes.

"Oh my god, I was scared to death!" Yingzi took a look and immediately hid behind everyone.

Affected by her voice, the three big men felt a little nervous.When Xiao Ran saw the tomb owner's face, he couldn't help but think of those zombie horror movies that kept him awake at night when he was a child.

The sauce-purple, blue-gray face has sunken, tightly covering the facial bones; the shrunken eyelids are slightly narrowed, revealing the dried eyeballs in the eye sockets; the cartilage of the nose has also dried up and collapsed, turning into a black hollow.

Except for the lack of exposed fangs, the entire face is exactly the same as the zombies in Laogang movies.No, it is actually more eerie than that, because no matter how good the makeup skills are in the movie, it can be seen that it is played by a living person, but this is a fake zombie.

It's still a real zombie about two meters tall, who will show his teeth and claws at them later.

I don't know what this person from nearly a thousand years ago ate to grow so big.But looking at this face, Xiao Ran retreated for a moment: Since I know that as long as I don't touch the moth-body and chi-pattern double wall in his hand, it won't inspire him to transform into a corpse, shouldn't I convince Hu? Bayi, quietly took the porcelain and left?
But on second thought, isn't this destroying the plot again?In this way, how can they naturally enter the underground base of the Kwantung Army?Who knows if Hu Bayi and the others will directly say to him later, "After finishing this job, decide to be a good person in the future"?
He was still hesitating, when Yingzi on the side suddenly said, "Brother Hu, I'm just kidding, I'm probably a corpse..."

Hu Bayi was stunned, Wang Kaixuan was stunned, and Xiao Ran was even more stunned—Yingzi's line should not appear here.

"Corpse evil? What is it?" the fat man asked.

After saying these two sentences, he happily repeated both sides, Xiao Ran suddenly felt a little funny, wondering if all the fat people over 1.8 meters tall and able to speak Northeast dialect like to play homophonic melodies.

"I heard from the old people in our family that it was old. There is a group of people in the Jurchen who like to practice a kind of witchcraft. When a person dies, put a burnt talisman in his mouth, and put it in his mouth. He put the most rare object in his hand. When the tomb robber came to pick up the things in his hand, the corpse would be possessed by the evil spirit immediately, and his body would be invulnerable with long hairs. If he didn’t kill the tomb robber, he would not be finished. By the way, there is something on the wall over there Draw! Brother Xiao looked at it just now!"

After Yingzi's introduction, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan were skeptical, holding a candle to look at it as Xiao Ran said, and they really saw the simple line drawings under the faded murals.

"I see that red-haired and yellow-skinned guy... the red-skinned guy... Oh, what do you want, that's the thing, this corpse is the one who invited you, please don't take what's in his hand." Yingzi said.

Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang looked at each other, and then at Xiao Ran, feeling a little troubled.Since Hu Bayi opened the coffin, he has never paid attention to those porcelains. He feels that jade is the most valuable thing in his heart.

As for the fat man, he originally wanted to accept everything as ordered, but after being told by Yingzi and Hu Bayi's previous story as a basis, he was always worried that he would really become a fat man who was caught in a coffin and screamed. thief.

Especially the thing in the painting is really too similar to the scorpion they met a few days ago. If the owner of the tomb turns into a large human scorpion, will they be able to deal with it this time?

"Boss Xiao, what do you think?" Hu Ba threw a difficult problem to Xiao Ran.

"Master Hu, to be honest, although I am not as good at antique appraisal as the big gold tooth, I still have some common sense. As long as your tomb is not mistaken, it is indeed from the Song and Jin Dynasties, then let's pack the porcelain inside Take it away, you can never go wrong."

"But as the old saying goes, gold is priceless and jade is priceless. What if he has jade in his hand..." Fatty Wang expressed Hu Bayi's heartfelt feelings.

"Wherever you go, it's up to you! Let's get the porcelain first. If you have jade in your hand, then it's considered undestined, so don't force it."

After Hu Bayi finished speaking, he clasped his hands together towards the corpse of the tomb owner, bowed three times and said: "We are short of food and clothing, we have to borrow a few licensed goods in exchange for a small amount of money to spend, don't blame us for offending..."

Fatty listened to his chattering "Prayer before Robbery", he couldn't hold back his curiosity at all, his eyes went straight to the tomb owner's hand, while Xiao Ran remained silent at the side.

Being "spoiled" by Yingzi, if Hu Bayi and the others really don't touch the things in the hands of the tomb owner, how should this play continue...
