Chapter 22
022 Chapter 22 Living Corpse

As soon as the third uncle finished speaking, the coffin suddenly shook on its own, and a muffled sound came from inside.They were frightened, and I was so scared that my heart trembled. Wu Xie was about to ask others, but suddenly he was shocked again, and they took a few steps back in fright. I thought to myself, the master here is quite lively, shouldn't he? It will be alive.

Da Kui's face turned pale and his eyes widened. The boss said, "There seems to be a living thing in the third master. I think it's better not to open the coffin."

The third uncle looked at the seams of the coffin, shook his head and said: "Impossible, this coffin is sealed very well, and the air inside does not circulate at all. Even if it has lived for 3000 years, it cannot be alive. There are still several people in it. As for the coffin, pry off one or two layers first and then listen clearly."

After some effort, they opened the first layer of the bronze coffin. Inside was an exquisite lacquer coffin inlaid with jade. The jade stones were arranged very neatly, with patterns summarizing the round sky and earth carved on it. Inside the jade nested coffin was a Only painted and lacquered wooden coffins.

When Pan Zi saw the jade coffin, his eyes almost fell out of surprise.

The third uncle was also very excited to see it and said: "How about it, you have never seen it before, this is the XJ Manas jade. It is so big and extremely rare. The most valuable thing is to get this jade nested in its entirety!"

"Generally, the princes and kings of the Warring States period had two coffins and three layers of coffins. If the tree is included in the first layer of coffins, now that we have removed the second coffin and the two coffins, the lower layer should be the most precious." After that, the third uncle carefully spent half an hour and finally took out the entire set of coffins.

The third uncle squatted down, put his ear to the coffin board, and made a gesture not to speak.They held their breath for fear of disturbing him. He listened for a long time, turned around, and said with a pale face: "There seems to be breathing inside."

Aning, who had been silent for a long time, also stood up and walked over to take a look.

The third uncle was afraid that there was a rice dumpling inside, so he took out the black donkey's hoof and gestured to them. Everyone raised their weapons and stood guard by the coffin.

The third uncle was about to insert the pry bar inside when a voice shouted from behind.

"stop."

When I saw it, it was the fat man who had woken up. I thought it would be even more troublesome now, because there was another disobedient person.

He touched his head and waved his hands and said, "No, no, it will cause trouble in a meeting like this. You still want to beat him with your little experience. You are really using a flashlight in a latrine, looking for shit (to die)."

The fat man came over and waved his hand: "Get out of the way, look at me, Fatty."

Then he put his hand into the gap between the lacquer coffin and the bronze coffin, closed his eyes and groped for a long time. Suddenly he exerted force with his hand, and with a snap, the coffin neatly cracked from the middle. In an instant, an extreme sound came from the coffin. With the miserable cry, Wu Xie's hand softened in fright, and he almost lost his gun.

Aning also raised his gun nervously.The third uncle Pan Zi and Dakui watched blankly. The lacquer coffin rose up from the coffin like a lotus, then split left and right, and the coffin lid flipped down. Wu Xie unconsciously raised his gun, pointed it at the coffin, and quickly After taking a few steps back, he saw a man in black armor sitting upright from the coffin. Wu Xie raised his shoulders in fright, and the fat man immediately grabbed his hand and said quickly: "Don't move, he What you are wearing is precious, don’t break it!”

I knew this was the jade figurine, and it was time to stop them, so I moved closer. As I got closer, I saw a corpse wrapped in the jade figurine with white to transparent skin, eyes closed, and distorted facial features. , I seem to remember that this kind of corpse is called a wet corpse, and judging from the situation, it is still a living corpse. If this thing comes out, it will be really over. We must stop them, as long as we can delay it.

The third uncle walked to the side and took a look and said: "I thought it was another rice dumpling, but it turned out that there was a piece of wood behind it to hold it up. An ordinary person would probably be scared to death."

Wu Xie came closer and looked at it and said, "This must be the 'Golden Jade', but why is this jade piece black?"

Aning suddenly said in surprise: "This thing seems to be alive!"

Wu Xie looked at the corpse curiously and found that the corpse's chest was still rising and falling, and there was clear breathing. Wu Xie was frightened and shocked and stepped back several steps, and asked softly: "How can this corpse be breathing?" ?Have you ever encountered this kind of thing before?"

Da Kui said tremblingly, "Of course not. If this happens frequently, I'd rather clean the toilet than fight."

Pan Zi covered the wound with sweat on his face and said: "Don't care what it is, give him a shot quickly, or he will die! He will be in trouble if he gets up later." The third uncle and the fat man shouted at the same time: "Wait! "

The third uncle looked surprised: "This...isn't this a jade figurine? It turns out that this thing really exists! Good luck, I, Wu Laosan, have been fighting for so long, and finally I found an artifact. I heard that as long as I wear this If you give things to people, they will rejuvenate themselves.”

The fat man's eyes widened when he saw it: "I didn't expect that the thing that Qin Shihuang couldn't find was actually on him. What is that third master? Do you know how to take off this thing?"

The third uncle shook his head, "I heard that this thing can't be taken off from the outside. This is also a trouble. Should we carry the whole body out?"

I said seriously: "I advise you not to move. You can't take this thing off, it will be dangerous."

The fat man didn't care what I said.He waved his hand and said to me: "Go, go, you little girl, go and play, don't cause any trouble."

The third uncle also only focused on looking at the jade figurines. The two men were checking back and forth. The body was pulling its arms and legs with them. He had no temper at all and seemed to be in no danger, so my reminder was completely useless...

Wu Xie asked: "If you take off this jade figurine, what will happen to the people inside?"

The fat man never thought of this and said, "I really don't know about that, fat man. In the worst case, he will be wiped out in ashes."

In the end, Wu Xie said, "Well, he was living well, but if we did this, wouldn't it turn into murder?"

The fat man almost fell down laughing after hearing this, and said: "Little comrade, if you have the consciousness to fight against me, then you don't have to do anything. None of the princes and nobles in ancient times had their hands full of blood. Even if they were caught, they would have to do it." Shot. You're so funny that you worry about this."

Seeing how busy they were, Wu Xie went to check the coffin to see if there were any good things among the funerary objects. When he saw the scaly things on the bottom of the coffin, he grabbed a handful and asked : "What are these?"

I frowned: "Wu Xie threw it away quickly, it's his skin."

Wu Xie quickly threw away his hands and said, "Oh my god, does King Lu Shang have a skin disease? He has lost so much skin."

The third uncle said: "Don't talk nonsense, it's the old skin that he shed. Every time he sheds it, he becomes younger. Judging by the amount of skin, there are always five or six layers of skin that have been shed."

Suddenly the fat man shouted: "There is a door!"

Wu Xie looked at the fat man: "I say, damn fat man, your eyes are too sharp, you can see all the threads here."

The fat man rolled his eyes at him and muttered: "You comrades from the southern faction are too murderous. You will pour out any tomb without even taking the pot. This pouring is a delicate job. Did you see that if you and I, your fat man, are not here today, you will have to do it." Only when the corpse is melted can the jade figurine be taken off."

The third uncle was embarrassed and scolded: "Fuck you, I don't know if it is true or not. Maybe there is an extra thread here."

The fat man laughed and said, "Don't you f*cking believe in evil."

I stepped forward anxiously and said, "Fat man, don't move, something will happen." But he didn't listen and pushed me away. He was so strong that I almost fell down, but Wu Xie held me up.

As he spoke, he tried to pull the thread with one hand. When he reached halfway, he heard a "whoosh" and felt something flash in front of his eyes. The third uncle reacted very quickly and kicked the fat man out. The fat man just got out of the way. , a black knife was nailed to the tree with a "bang" sound, and most of it was not penetrated.As soon as he looked at the knife, he knew that the little brother was back.
