Anecdote of the Yellow River

Chapter 54
In the past few years, we have also seen reports about the ancient Loulan female corpse in the news. That female corpse was once considered to be the best preserved Loulan female corpse, but compared with the Loulan female corpse in front of us, it is completely different from the sky and the underground. .As Liu Hanhao said just now: "This is definitely the best-preserved and most beautiful corpse I have ever seen!" This is not necrophilia, but everyone's heartfelt shock and amazement after seeing this Loulan female corpse.

After a preliminary analysis, we all agree that this Loulan female corpse is likely to belong to the aristocratic class of ancient Loulan, perhaps a relative of the emperor, or a daughter of a princess.Because it is impossible for ordinary people to enjoy the luxurious treatment of sleeping in a crystal coffin, let alone be eligible to be buried at the bottom of a pagoda.

Of course, Gu Meidi and I also proposed another idea.Because the golden mask on the face of the female corpse is very magical, so we imagine whether the identity of the female corpse is a priest or a witch, who specializes in divination for the entire Loulan Kingdom, praying for gods, and warding off disasters. Such a distinguished status.

"Hey, don't guess here, just open the coffin and take a look!" Wang Dongyu said impatiently, in his opinion, since the status of the female corpse is so noble, there must be priceless funeral objects inside the crystal coffin .He didn't care about the identity of the female corpse, what he cared about was those luxurious funeral objects.

It is much easier to open the crystal coffin than to pry open the coffin. The design of the crystal coffin is very ingenious. There is a groove on the top of the coffin, and the coffin lid can just slide in the groove.So if you want to open the crystal coffin, just slide the coffin lid away.

The crystal coffin was slowly opened, and the mysterious Loulan female corpse was presented in front of us more directly and truly.

"Don't touch the things in the coffin casually!" Just as Professor Ye said this, Wang Dongyu couldn't wait to reach out and take off the golden mask on the female corpse's face: "Let me see if this chick is beautiful... woo what!"

Wang Dongyu suddenly screamed, jumped back more than three feet high, and then fell heavily on the ground, his face was full of horror: "Fox...fox..."

"Wang Dongyu, what's your name, crazy!" Han Jing scolded Wang Dongyu in dissatisfaction. Wang Dongyu's voice just now really shocked us.

Wang Dongyu swallowed, and said with trembling lips: "That female corpse...the female corpse is a female ghost at all! She has a fox's face, covered with bluish-gray hairs, she...she is still grinning at you. I smile……"

Wang Dongyu was still in shock, and he looked really frightened.

We looked at Wang Dongyu strangely, this kid must not lose his mind and go crazy, right?What female ghost?What fox's face?The Loulan female corpse is obviously a very glamorous and beautiful young woman.

"Are you sick? Open your eyes and see, where is the fox face?" Gan Hongxin tugged at Wang Dongyu's collar, pointing to the Loulan female corpse in the coffin.

"Why...how did this happen?" Wang Dongyu stared blankly at the female corpse for a while, muttering to himself, "Impossible! Just now I clearly saw... Is there something wrong with my eyes?" Speaking of this, Wang Dongyu rubbed his eyes vigorously.

"I see that you not only have problems with your eyes, but you also have problems with your brain!" Liu Hanhao shook his head, walked to the female corpse and squatted down, and exclaimed, "What a beautiful beauty!"

When the real face of the Loulan female corpse appeared in front of our eyes, almost everyone secretly marveled in their hearts. Even in modern society, this is a stunning beauty.A flawless face, exquisite and three-dimensional facial features, with a strong exotic style, and a smiling mouth are enough to easily arouse the deepest desire in a man's heart.

I suddenly felt a pain in my waist, and found that Gu Meidi was poking me.

"What for?" I asked.

Gu Meidi said: "Look at you stinky men, all of you are reluctant to roll your eyeballs. Especially you, those eyeballs seem to fly to the female corpse. I didn't expect you to be so interested in corpses!"

My cheeks flushed slightly. I was really attracted by the female corpse just now, and I was a little distracted.

I coughed twice and tried to defend myself: "I look at this female corpse with an archaeological perspective!"

"Let me see if there is anything good under this corpse!" Gan Hongxin smiled, put on a sterile glove, then put his hand under the woman's body, and slowly groped.

Yeah!

After a while, Gan Hongxin called out in surprise, and took out a jade bracelet from under the woman's body. The emerald green jade was glowing with a faint green light. There was no flaw in the jade, and it was the best jade at first glance.

"This is mine!" Gan Hongxin was not polite, opened the front of his clothes, and put the jade bracelet close to his body.

"Bastard, you're so unkind!" Song Mingqiu cursed secretly, and stretched out his sinful hand.But what he touched was the front of the female corpse, and he took out a pair of jade earrings from the chest of the female corpse in two or three strokes, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.This guy is very wretched. While touching the treasure, he also touched the firm chest of the female corpse, and said with satisfaction: "Well, not bad, it's very flexible!"

Professor Ye said in a deep voice: "Don't you two boys think about taking it all for yourself. The treasure you find will be shared equally with everyone. This is not your personal discovery, but the discovery of the entire team!"

Han Jing nodded: "I agree, this is only fair!"

"Whoever dares to swallow it alone, I will kill him!" Hao Mengkang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, his tone was cold and without any emotion.If the guy doesn't talk, we'll pretty much forget about him.

Gan Hongxin and Song Mingqiu looked at Hao Mengkang's stern gaze, but they didn't dare to say "no", they honestly took out the treasure they put in their pockets and put it on the ground.

Song Mingqiu giggled dryly: "Don't take it seriously, how could I take it all by myself, it's just talk!"

Gan Hongxin also echoed: "That's right, we still understand the rules in the world!"

Gu Meidi pulled me and asked quietly: "Do you really want them to steal these ancient relics?"

I said: "Professor Ye has already acquiesced, what can we say? Turn a blind eye and close one eye, it will not be easy for others to follow us to the desert!"

Gu Meidi probably also felt that it was so reasonable, he sighed slightly, and didn't say anything more.

"Strange, how did this woman's belly get bigger?" Song Mingqiu's hands had already touched the woman's swollen belly.

"The stomach is getting bigger? How is it possible?" We leaned over to take a look, and felt that the belly of the female corpse seemed to be really swollen.

"Oh my God!" Song Mingqiu screamed suddenly, retracting his hands like an electric shock, his teeth rattled: "She... her stomach is moving..."

This woman has been dead for more than a thousand years, why is her stomach still moving?
"Could it be... Could it be a ghost fetus?" Gan Hongxin also backed away involuntarily.

In our archaeological business, I have heard of all kinds of strange things, and I have also heard the legend about ghost fetuses.It is said that some women who died of pregnancy had a lot of resentment, and the resentment in the body could not be dissipated after death, and all the resentment was absorbed by the fetus in the stomach.The fetus in the stomach grows slowly relying on this resentment, and finally breaks out of the body, turning into a terrifying ghost fetus.At this moment, Gan Hongxin suddenly mentioned the ghost fetus, and my heart began to feel a little shaky.

Under our surprised eyes, the belly of the female corpse is getting bigger and bigger, and it looks like something is about to break out.

We took out our weapons at the same time and surrounded the female corpse. As long as there is any ghost thing coming out, it will definitely be wiped out in an instant.

The bottom of the tower was very quiet. We watched the female corpse with bated breath, not even daring to breathe.

Suddenly, with a bang, the female corpse's stomach burst open, and a black tide gushed out of the female corpse's ruptured stomach in an instant, and came to our feet in a blink of an eye.

We were startled suddenly, and looked down at our feet. It turned out that the black tide on the ground turned out to be countless dark brown insects.This kind of insect looks a bit like a spider, but its body is thin and long like an ant. Its short front legs have shovel-shaped claws, which is weird and ugly.

The knowledgeable Gu Mei flute called out the name of the insect at once: "Mole crickets! These are mole crickets!"

I suddenly thought of a question. One of the guesses in the mystery of the disappearance of Loulan is that the invasion of mole crickets caused the demise of Loulan. At this moment, there are so many mole crickets here. Could it be that the demise of Loulan is really related to this insect?As soon as I thought of this, I couldn't help feeling cold all over my body, and I retreated while pulling the ancient flute.

These mole crickets are much larger than ordinary mole crickets. They crawled very fast in the sand and soon covered the entire bottom of the tower. We had no place to stay.These mole crickets are extremely aggressive. They raised their claws and clamped our trouser legs. We never thought that there was a nest of insects in the belly of the female corpse, and we were at a loss for a while.

Professor Ye said in a deep voice: "Get out of here quickly! These mole crickets crawled out of the woman's corpse, and they may contain corpse poison. Don't be bitten by them, or you may be infected with corpse poison!"

Fortunately, the military boots and combat uniforms we wore were of good quality, and those mole crickets couldn't bite through them for a while.But the terrible thing is that both of our arms are exposed to the air, and these mole crickets are winged insects. They flew up with a buzzing sound, like a black whirlwind rising from the flat ground, all of a sudden Just surround us in the middle.

We were a little panicked, and the weapons in our hands were useless, so we could only wave our arms desperately to drive away the mole crickets flying in front of us.Thousands of mole crickets were flying around inside the pagoda, making a dense buzzing sound, which sounded even more frightening than the buzzing sounds of the snakes outside.

In a critical moment, the experienced Professor Ye had a solution. He pulled out a cold light stick, beat it twice, and threw it into a far corner.The cold light stick instantly lit up, and the light attracted those mole crickets. With a buzzing sound, hundreds of mole crickets rushed over at once, covering a thick layer, swallowing up the light from the cold light stick.

We were pleasantly surprised that this was a good idea, so we quickly took out more cold light sticks and threw them in all directions.The mole crickets flying around us scattered all at once, and rushed towards the cold light sticks respectively, finally the dangerous situation was temporarily relieved.

"Go!" We must take this opportunity to escape from the pagoda.

The climbing rope can only be used by one person at a time, but fortunately there are pulleys on the rope, and the speed of ascent is quite fast. We climbed out of the pagoda one by one, and we never wanted to stay here for a while.

"Song Mingqiu, what are you still doing down here? Come up!" Gan Hongxin came out of the cave, turned around and shouted at Song Mingqiu at the bottom of the pagoda.

But Song Mingqiu seemed deaf to Gan Hongxin's call, he hesitated for a moment, turned around and walked towards the female corpse, picked up the golden mask from the mole cricket crowd, and put it into his arms in a panic.

Gan Hongxin cursed, "I really want money, but I don't want my life!"

"I'll come up now..." Song Mingqiu happily waved his hand up, but just as he opened his mouth, a mole cricket flew into his mouth.

"Uh..." Song Mingqiu threw away the golden mask violently, and wrapped his hands tightly around his neck, with a painful expression on his face.The mole cricket slid down his throat.Song Mingqiu's trachea was blocked, and he couldn't breathe immediately, his face was flushed, his eyes were wide open, and he turned over and fell to the ground.

Before Song Mingqiu got up from the ground, a group of mole crickets flew over and covered Song Mingqiu's body in a dense layer. They used their claws to cut open his skin, and burrowed into his body. Soon Song Mingqiu stopped moving. It became a worm full of holes, and there were mole crickets constantly crawling in and out of his body, and its appearance was extremely terrifying.

"Wow!" Gan Hongxin couldn't hold back for a while, and actually vomited in disgust.

The dawn of the morning rose on the horizon, and the edge of the sandy sea was dyed blood red by the morning light. The sky began to brighten, and the rattlesnakes under the tower slowly dispersed, and the ruined ancient Loulan kingdom returned to dead silence.

Lao Luo extinguished the dry tobacco: "Let's go, we can go down!"

Before leaving, Professor Ye poured two cans of liquid fuel into the pagoda, lit the windproof lighter and threw it down.The liquid fuel was ignited, and the stupa suddenly burst into flames, and pieces of mole crickets rolled and crackled in the sea of ​​flames.

We left the pagoda, looked back, and saw billowing thick smoke coming out of the cave above the pagoda, emitting a foul smell.Song Mingqiu's death was still floating before our eyes, we quickened our pace and passed through the city quickly.

We hardly rested all night, and felt very sleepy, our bodies were like the soft sea surface, and all the strength in our bodies seemed to be drained.After walking in the desert for half a day, we were a bit overwhelmed, so after discussing, we decided to take a nap and get enough energy before moving on.

I was indeed exhausted, and soon I closed my eyelids and fell asleep drowsily.

I had another dream. I dreamed that I fell into the water. The water was extremely cold. I struggled desperately to get out of the water, but my limbs seemed to be frozen and I couldn’t even move. Can watch myself bit by bit, slowly sinking into the dark bottom of the water...
