Anecdote of the Yellow River

Chapter 23
The three of us chanted the slogan "one two one" and tried our best to pry up the coffin lid.In fact, the coffin lid is not very heavy, it's just that we are hanging upside down in mid-air and can't use any strength, so it feels strenuous.The coffin lid was lifted slowly, the three of us uttered a cry almost at the same time, and there was a creak, and the coffin lid turned over to the west, and plunged straight into the pool below, making a loud crash and splashing. From the old high water splash.

While the water was splashing, the gangsters standing on the shore were actually cheering happily.

Gu Meidixiang scolded dripping with sweat: "We are working hard here, but those guys are sitting on the shore enjoying their success. I really wish I could give them a big blow!"

I said: "A big ear scraper will not relieve the anger at all. I really want to take off their clothes, kick them into this icy pool, and turn them into quick-frozen human meat dumplings!"

We went to the edge of the coffin and found that there was a gap of about five centimeters between the coffin and the coffin. The gap was filled with bright red blood, exuding a strong bloody smell, which made us unable to open our eyes.

In fact, the so-called inner and outer coffins are set coffins, that is, the outer coffins that are placed outside the coffin. It is like a protective clothing that is placed on the outside of the coffin. erosion.At the same time, the coffin also symbolizes the identity of the deceased. In feudal society, ordinary people did not have a coffin for burial, and at most there was only one coffin.Only when rich families or princes and generals are buried, have the economic conditions and qualifications to enjoy the rich burial in the coffin.

After following Professor Ye for so many years, I have naturally seen many coffins, but as far as I know, at most some not very precious funerary objects are placed in the gap between the coffin and the coffin. Filled with blood, what is the purpose of this?
Professor Ye said: "Don't look at me, it's the first time I've seen such a weird coffin, everyone be careful!"

Gu Meidi and I nodded, held our breath, suppressed the desire to vomit, and inserted the engineering shovel into the gap.I fiddled with the blood for a while, but found nothing.So she and I scooped out some bloody water with a shovel, and the coffin soaked in the bloody water was revealed.

The moment we saw the coffin, we both couldn't help exclaiming at the same time, "Yin wood coffin!"

That's right!

Inside this coffin, there is a precious yin wood coffin!

Yin wood coffin!See also Yinmu coffin!
I looked up at Gu Mei Di, Gu Mei Di looked at Professor Ye, and Professor Ye looked back at me.None of the three of us spoke, but I knew that at this moment, we must be thinking about the same problem.

My heart was beating wildly. I remember that Professor Ye once analyzed that what we are looking for may be a Xixia ancient tomb near the bank of the Yellow River or buried under water, and the owner of the ancient tomb is most likely Xixia. Royal nobles or princes and generals.

The coffin in front of us is completely in line with Professor Ye's analysis. Could this be the Xixia ancient tomb we are looking for?

Our gazes all turned to the yin wooden coffin. As long as we open the coffin, maybe all the mysteries will be revealed.

I looked up at Professor Ye, and Professor Ye nodded at me. He and I inserted the engineering shovel into the gap between the coffin lid and the coffin body one after another, and with a loud cry, we pried the yin wooden coffin lid open. .We couldn't wait to look into the coffin. After two seconds of silence, the three of them simultaneously let out an exclamation.

I saw the corpse of a Western Xia warrior laying quietly inside the coffin. Like the two ancient corpses I saw before, this ancient corpse was also lifelike. It seemed that it had just fallen asleep instead of being dead for many years. It can be seen that the Xixia people's anti-corrosion technology for corpses is quite sophisticated.However, the dress of this Xixia warrior is slightly different from the Xixia warriors we have seen before. The clothes of this Xixia warrior are more gorgeous and noble. It does not look like an ordinary warrior, but a general.

The body of the ancient corpse was wrapped in a precious and peculiar gold silk robe, and the thin golden threads were densely woven into a net, which looked like a golden spider web, shining brightly.

Gu Meidi exclaimed: "This is the golden-threaded garment! This is the legendary golden-threaded garment!"

The earliest records about the golden thread garment can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty. According to legend, the material for making the golden thread garment is not gold thread, but dragon tendon. Very luxurious treasure.Of course, this is just a legend. In fact, making a witch hazel garment is a very delicate job. First, the gold is melted, and then the melted gold is pulled into silk with special tools.After the gold threads have cooled, they are woven into clothes.

This ancient corpse was wearing a precious gold thread garment, which shows that this ancient corpse had a high status in the Xixia Dynasty during his lifetime.In addition to this shining gold-threaded garment, there are also many funerary objects hidden on the sides and under the body of the ancient corpse, most of which are some gold and silver vessels and jade jewelry, and each treasure is priceless.

Gu Meidi said sadly: "I don't want to watch these treasures fall into the hands of those barbarians!"

I sighed and said, "I don't want to either, but there is no other way. Now grandpa is being held hostage by them, alas!"

Professor Ye put on sterile gloves and carefully lifted the head of the ancient corpse.We looked down, and as expected, there was an eyeball tattoo on the back neck of the ancient corpse.I paid special attention to the color of this eyeball tattoo, and found that this eyeball tattoo is turquoise, which is the same color as the eyeball tattoo on the back neck of the turtle coffin warrior.

Professor Ye said: "Now I am almost sure that this water cave is the ancient tomb of Xixia that we have been looking for. The ancient corpse in front of us should be the owner of this ancient tomb. I don't know what he thinks , actually built a fishbone temple on top of his tomb, does he want to become the Dragon King after his death?"

chug chug!chug chug! ...

With the roar of the motor, a fishing boat came under the coffin.

We looked down and saw Mr. Goat coming by boat with a dozen people.

Mr. Goat squinted his eyes and asked: "How is it? Have you found the treasure? You put the treasure in a bag and send it down to us!" After a pause, he continued, "I can warn you, don't take the treasure at this juncture. No matter what kind of tricks you play, not a single treasure is allowed to fall. If I find out that you are dishonest, you know what the consequences will be!"

I looked up to the shore, and saw two strong men tied grandpa's hands behind their backs, put a waist knife on grandpa's neck, and looked at us confidently, with cold smiles on their faces.

While greeting the eighteen generations of Mr. Goat’s ancestors in my heart, I took off the backpack and put the funerary objects in the coffin into the backpack one by one, and the backpack was quickly filled.Then we tied a climbing rope to the backpack and slowly lowered the backpack full of treasures.

The two strong men immediately stepped forward to take off the backpack, put the backpack on the deck, and opened it impatiently.

The colorful brilliance flowed out, and all those barbarians surrounded him.They had never seen these treasures before, and they couldn't close their mouths with joy, with greedy expressions on their faces, and shouted happily: "We're getting rich! Wahaha! We're getting rich!"

Professor Ye suddenly turned his head and said to the barbarians below: "Let me tell you, judging by my professional eyes, that luminous cup is the most precious treasure!"

Gu Meidi and I didn't understand Professor Ye's intention, "Why did you tell them?"

Professor Ye showed an inscrutable smile on his face, "This is our best chance to fight back, just wait and see!"

Sure enough, as soon as Professor Ye finished speaking, more than a dozen pairs of big hands stretched out towards the emerald luminous cup.Those barbarians scrambled to take the emerald luminous cup as their own.Even the scheming Mr. Goat couldn't help shouting at the moment: "Don't grab it! Don't grab it! That emerald luminous cup is mine! It's mine!"

Originally, Mr. Goat was very prestigious in the minds of these savages, but at this moment, these savages were all dazzled by desire. They frantically snatched the treasures in the backpack, and eventually even fought violently. All the fishing boats began to sway violently, and the scene was chaotic.

We understood Professor Ye's intentions.Professor Ye made a small plan, and a simple sentence easily stimulated the desires in the hearts of these barbarians, causing them to fight each other and weakening the strength of their team.We don't even need to do it, we just need to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight to win the final victory.

I looked at Professor Ye adoringly, he was like a god in my mind!

Greed is one of the weaknesses of human nature. When greed outweighs reason, they will make crazy moves.

The backpack full of treasures made all these barbarians red-eyed. Now the opportunity to get rich overnight is in front of them, and no one wants to let go of this opportunity.Even if they risk their lives, they will not hesitate.

At the beginning, they just wanted to snatch the most precious luminous cup, but later, they were completely dazzled by the interests, and they all wanted to kill each other and snatch as much treasure as possible. One less person can get a share of the pie , So a bloody killing soon took place.

The leading barbarian pulled out his waist knife first, and with red eyes, he chopped down his companion standing in front of him with a knife. Blood splashed on the luminous cup, revealing a strange beauty.The barbarian in the lead smiled, and stretched out his hand to snatch the luminous cup. The other two people next to him screamed strangely, and they all drew their knives and rushed over, fighting with the barbarian in the lead.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Mr. Goat yelled in a sharp voice: "Stop beating! Stop it! Stop beating..."

"Fuck you!" A man raised his foot and kicked another man in the stomach, and the man stepped back a few steps, just bumping into Mr. Goat.Mr. Goat didn't finish his sentence, he yelled "Ouch", turned over and fell into the cold pool.Mr. Goat's thin body couldn't withstand such a toss. He shouted for help desperately in the water.

However, no one paid any attention to Mr. Goat at all. Those who respected him normally didn't even look at him at this time. All they had in their eyes were the precious funeral objects in their backpacks.

Plop plop!
People kept falling into the water, screams came from the fishing boat, and the splashed blood stained the deck red, dripping slowly along the edge of the deck.

The greed of human nature is fully interpreted by these savages. We turned our heads and couldn't bear to watch any more.We are not cold-blooded animals, but at this moment our hearts are filled with indescribable happiness. In Gu Meidi's words, these people deserve what they deserve, and death is not a pity!

What's even more ridiculous is that the two savages who were originally in charge of monitoring grandpa couldn't help themselves when they saw such a scene, for fear that they wouldn't be able to catch any treasures if they were too late.So the two savages left their grandfather behind, jumped on the fishing boat, and chug over to join the battle group.

Taking advantage of the chaos below, Professor Ye urged us to leave this place as soon as possible. This is the best time for us to escape the predicament and danger.

We were about to turn around and leave when Gu Mei Di suddenly grabbed my hand from behind, "Wait, did you hear any strange noise?"

I shivered, "Miss, don't be surprised, it's scary!"

"Shh! Don't talk!" Gu Meidi raised his fingers and remained silent for a few seconds, then pointed to the Xixia ancient corpse lying in the coffin, "The sound seems to come from the ancient corpse's body!"

"No way?" I looked at Gu Mei Di suspiciously, then bent down, and gently pressed my ear to the stomach of the ancient corpse.At this time, as expected, a strange sound of gurgling came from inside the ancient corpse.

I was taken aback, quickly dodged, and blurted out: "There is something in the stomach of the ancient corpse!"

When I said this, the stomach of the ancient corpse had already bulged a small bag rapidly.

I glanced at Gu Meidi nervously, and said to myself: "What's in its body? It can't be the death bug of the Western Regions, right?"

Ever since I saw the terrifying Death Worm of the Western Regions in the backyard of the old house last time, I have left a serious psychological shadow.Now I feel inexplicable fear and disgust whenever I see reptiles.

The small bag moved quickly in the ancient corpse's body, and soon moved to the ancient corpse's throat.Before we could react, the ancient corpse opened its mouth suddenly, and a strange thing spewed out of the ancient corpse's mouth, scaring us almost to fall from the bronze chain.
