Tomb Raiders I Can Hear Antique Talk

Chapter 355 Unexpected Discovery

Except for Xiao Changfeng, the others all walked towards the huge coffin.But when they got closer, several people found that it was not a coffin, or that the outermost layer was not, but a simple and plain stone coffin with a large animal skin on the lid.It is not difficult to see from the shape of the animal hide that it is a large cowhide.

The fat man was more cautious this time, looked around the stone coffin, and said curiously: "This cowhide is interesting, the hair is sparse, and the skin is wrinkled and full of lines. This cow is so old that its hair is about to fall off. Is it light?"

Hu Bayi looked at it carefully and said: "This is not ordinary buffalo or yellow leather. It is a ox. It is said that it is an ancient auspicious animal with one horn and black hair. It is said that this ox is a female rhinoceros. Now Looking at the skin, it should be rhino skin, but this rhino is big enough..."

"Old Hu, you are bragging again. This rhino is only found in Africa. Although we have never been to the African brothers, we have been to the zoo! How can there be rhinos in this cold place?"

Seeing the fat man's disdainful face, Hu Bayi said: "You are ignorant and incompetent. Listening to anyone's words is just embellishment. Can the climate be the same in ancient times and modern times? In the past, there were elephants in the Yellow River Basin, so there is no such thing as a rhinoceros." What’s more, even if it’s not cold, the south is always warm, right? These old emperors, generals and ministers have been domineering all their lives, and it’s such a big deal when they die. Importing a few pieces of cowhide from the southern barbarian country is still a big deal Son?"

"Emperor and general?!"

When the fat man heard these words, he immediately regained his spirits.Hu Bayi thought Fatty Lian was questioning these words again, so he turned his head and said, "If you don't believe me, ask Mr. Xiao, he is a professional... What are you doing, Mr. Xiao?"

Hu Ba turned his head one by one, but he didn't see Xiao Changfeng. After looking around for a while, he saw that Xiao Changfeng was looking carefully at the surrounding ice walls with a flashlight, as if he was looking for something.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran walked up to Xiao Changfeng and asked, "Dad, what are you looking for?"

Xiao Changfeng frowned while taking photos and said, "Exit...exit...frozen...can't find it..."

It turned out that the exit to the outside was actually on the wall at the bottom of the ice cave.Hearing what Xiao Changfeng said, Xiao Ran simply took two quick steps, and took a careful photo on the ice wall with his flashlight.

The ice wall at the bottom of the pit seemed to be thicker than the top, and a flashlight could only see a patch of white flowers. No wonder Xiao Changfeng looked for it inch by inch as if he was doing archaeology.

However, Xiao Changfeng's mind was very confused now, Xiao Ran asked several times, but couldn't find out any details, only knew that there was a hole on the ice wall, and the passage behind could lead to the outside.

Xiao Ran carefully inspected the ice wall, and when he passed a wall, he suddenly saw something that seemed to be made of metal behind the ice wall, and the vague outlines looked like huge gears and pipes.

Such things reminded him of places with large machinery, such as factories, research institutes, or...

spaceship.

This word flashed through his mind, and the previous mural's speculation that the scorpion and Xia Boen and his party were alien creatures was activated again in his mind.

But he quickly shook his head again. He felt that if he continued to think about it this way, he would really look more and more like Sa Dipeng.

"These...things belong to...belong to...extraterrestrial..."

Xiao Changfeng's voice suddenly sounded behind him, startling Xiao Ran.But what really shocked him was what Xiao Changfeng said.He turned his head, stretched out a finger in surprise, and pointed upwards towards Xiao Changfeng.

Xiao Changfeng nodded and said, "Too ancient...too advanced, not right...it can only be extraterrestrial..."

Hearing what Xiao Changfeng said, Xiao Ran couldn't laugh or cry.He didn't know whether Xiao Changfeng said this based on the professional knowledge of an archaeologist, or because his mind was still not clear.

So he is not sure whether he is as wise as his father now, or as confused as his father.

He took a few steps back and took photos up and down again.The flashlight flashed across the ice under his feet, and Xiao Ran suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something under the ice.

He quickly lay down on the ground and looked at it carefully, his pupils expanding and contracting with the flickering flashlight.He finally saw clearly that under the ice was a hall with a vague tower-like building in the center, a bit like the quadrilateral pyramids built by the Mayans.

On the top of the pyramid, there seems to be something else, but I can't see clearly with the flashlight in my hand.

A picture suddenly flashed in Xiao Ran's mind. It was the first time he got the statue of the ghost mother, or the statue of Empress Xia. It is a door that leads nowhere.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a shock all over his body, as if he had been electrocuted.Reminiscent of what those artifacts said before, whether it is the Yin Yang mirror saying that it cannot feel the evil energy, or the soul-locking Lingzhu saying that it cannot feel the soul, perhaps it is because these creatures have never been demons and ghosts. A living corpse is not a Zongzi who came back from the dead, but a creature belonging to another world.

This conjecture has been continuously strengthened along the way, but he really has no way to tell Hu Bayi and the others that these brain-eating moths are all aliens, they are half-human, half-worm human flies and living corpses, all of which are aliens. The product of the mixture of aliens and earthlings, and under the ice cave at this moment is the alien spaceship and base.

Explaining these things is even more difficult than explaining the origin of zongzi.

Just when he was still thinking about the so-called extraterrestrial civilization and the battle between heaven and man in his mind, there was a sudden "boom" around him, and a huge object fell on the ice behind him.

"Cough, cough... Fatty, you are just venting your emotions, right? There's no need to exert such force, right?" Hu Bayi kept coughing.

The fat man said angrily, "This way, except for my bag of broken bits, no whole coffin has been properly opened. I finally saw such a big one, but I didn't expect someone to open it again. What are the rules, what do you like..."

Only then did Xiao Ran realize that when he and Xiao Changfeng were looking for the frozen exit, Hu Bayi and the others had already lit candles in a corner.

"Has this stone coffin been opened?" Xiao Ran asked.

Hu Bayi fanned the ashes in front of his face and said: "I don't just see the stone coffin, there are two layers of coffins inside, which should have been opened. Maybe this is Xia Boen's real coffin, and the one above is just a suspicious tomb. This is a coffin. The single coffin, in terms of size, has three layers including the stone coffin, and it also meets the specifications corresponding to the title of Xia Boen..."

Xiao Ran glanced at the coffin lid which was obviously not covered in the stone coffin, and asked casually: "Who will open the coffin in this poor place? A blind man?"

As soon as he finished asking, he felt that he was stupid enough to die, and turned his head to look at Xiao Changfeng who was still looking for an exit in front of the ice wall.

The fat man waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's open it and have a look, the old man probably didn't take anything, maybe there are some funerary objects inside..."

Hu Bayi answered: "It's hard to say. According to Xiao Ran, Xia Boen's body was moved to Xia Niang Temple. Even if the old man hadn't opened it, Ba Kun and Tianling Sanren had also opened it. I guess there's nothing left..."

"Forget it, don't pull it so far, hurry up and pull it down!"

The fat man was completely impatient, and he was not afraid of being late for a good meal, but now he was picking up other people's leftovers.Almost retaliating, he inserted the engineer shovel into the crack of the coffin, and pried the lid up by himself.

Xu Er wanted to go forward to help, but was stopped by Hu Bayi, Xiao Ran tapped Xiao Changfeng with his chin, Xu Er immediately understood, and went to help Xiao Changfeng with a flashlight.

Hu Bayi and Xiao Ran also picked up the shovel and helped the fat man pry open the two-layer coffin lid, finally revealing the coffin inside.

In the innermost coffin, there is almost an unknown viscous liquid. An invisible corpse is immersed in it, and the hands of the corpse are placed on the chest.

The fat man carefully put the shovel into the coffin and stirred it. In the shovel, basically only these muddy things could be seen, without any gold, silver, pearls, jade or porcelain ornaments.

"Okay! It's no use playing again, now there is only one thing left, which is to drag out the body of this Tianling Sanren and throw away the ashes." The fat man said bitterly.

Is this Tianling Sanren?Xiao Ran felt a little surprised.That monster who plotted against him like a ghost, put him in danger several times and even almost lost his life, just soaked in an opened coffin like this?
He felt that this was a little too easy, but this is the core of the Tibetan God Bureau, and there are unknown buildings that are frozen in all directions, and the size and shape of the coffin are at the level of a prince. Land, seems to make sense.

"Come on brother Xiao, help me!"

While he was pondering, Hu Bayi and Fatty were already holding up the shovel, ready to fish out the corpse from the coffin.

Xiao Ran asked in astonishment: "Brother Hu, are we not following the rules? That three-way thing..."

"Why don't you take three things, this old guy is a dove and a magpie's nest, let's come and do justice for the sky, hurry up!" said the fat man.

Seeing that Hu Bayi had no objection, Xiao Ran also made up his mind, and together with the two of them, they lifted the shovel out of the coffin.

With a "bang", the sticky corpse fell on the ice, and slid to the side for a short distance, and the unknown liquid on the corpse was also shaken off a lot.

Xiao Ran's flashlight shone on the hands of the corpse, and he found that the hands of the corpse seemed to be holding something.His first reaction was the silk book of the Warring States Period that Heixia asked him to find.

He hooked the thing with the tip of the shovel and pulled it out from the hands held by the corpse. When the thing fell to the ground, it made a "dang" sound.

Even if the silk script is dried, it won't be so heavy, right?Xiao Ran quickly took a closer look with the flashlight, and found that this thing turned out to be half a metal Ruyi.

He carefully looked at the Ruyi fracture, and always felt a little indescribably familiar, as if he had seen something similar somewhere recently.

He looked up at the other people, and when his eyes fell on Xiao Changfeng by the wall, he suddenly understood the source of that sense of familiarity.The copper plate in Xiao Changfeng's hand is basically the second half of Ruyi.

It's really a mixed blessing, although the silk script is not known where the corpse is hidden, but the complete metal Ruyi has been assembled.He quickly pulled out his knife, cut a piece of the big cowhide that wrapped the stone coffin, wiped half of the copper Ruyi, wrapped it up, and stuffed it into the bag.

At this time, the fat man next to him said: "This Tianling Sanren...why is he still half bald like that prince..."
