Anecdote of the Yellow River

Chapter 72 The Third Eyeball (2)
"You two retreat to the side!" Wan Juncheng turned his head and smiled at Professor Ye secretly, "Professor Ye, you are always an expert in opening coffins, come and help me!"

Professor Ye walked over with a blank expression on his face.

Gu Meidi and I also followed Professor Ye to the side of the Yinmu coffin.

It was faintly visible that there was a golden glow in the coffin.

I craned my neck curiously, and took a look inside the coffin. Inside the coffin, there was a gleaming pure gold coffin.

The golden light is like water ripples, rippling circles of light on the surface of the coffin, extremely noble.

I have never seen a coffin made of pure gold, and I was stunned for a while.

It’s just that I still can’t get my head around it. The Renzitang is the lowest-level hall among the three halls, but why are the tombs and coffins of the owner of the Renzitang so luxurious? On a par with it.Thinking about it carefully, the Tianzitang mausoleum with the highest level is actually the simplest among the three.

This golden coffin is very luxurious. Skilled craftsmen carved various auspicious clouds and auspicious beasts on the surface of the coffin, and also used rare gemstones to adorn the eyes of the auspicious beasts.The brilliance of the gems and the golden light of the coffin complement each other, and the coffin is full of brilliance and wealth.

Among other things, even if you dig out those gems, you can buy two small western-style buildings when you go back.

As soon as this idea popped into my mind, I dismissed it quickly.I am a serious professional archaeologist, how could I have such a greedy idea.Hey, it seems that the trip to Lop Nur and the Seven Tomb Raiders stayed for too long, and they have been subtly contaminated with banditry.

In the center of the lid of the golden coffin, there is a string of Xixia characters written vertically, which is square and upright. We can't understand what it is, and guess it may be a language similar to "the tomb of so-and-so".

Wan Juncheng stood there in a daze for a long while, then stretched out his hand tremblingly to caress the string of Xixia characters, and tears fell down his cheeks.

Along the way, Wan Juncheng gave me the feeling of a cunning and vicious old fox, and it was the first time I saw him so dazed and distracted.

"What is he crying for?" Gu Meidi whispered.

"I don't know! Maybe it's because I feel that I have sinned deeply, and I am ashamed of my ancestors!" I said.

"Do you think Wan Juncheng, an old bastard, would feel guilty?" Gu Meidi asked back.

I curled my lips: "Really not!"

"Do you want to open the coffin?" Seeing that Wan Juncheng did not respond for a long time, Professor Ye asked Wan Juncheng coldly.

"Of course!" Wan Juncheng wiped away his tears, bent down to observe carefully.

Professor Ye said: "Don't look at it, I have already seen it. This golden coffin has a snap-on structure, just like a locked box. As long as you open the lock, you can open the coffin!"

"Good eyesight!" Wan Juncheng exclaimed with a thumbs up.

"However, I think a password may be needed!" Professor Ye pointed to the lock on the side of the coffin lid.

"Password?!" Wan Juncheng came over, stretched out his hand to hold the lock and looked at it.

There is a row of grooves on the lock, and there are different numbers in each groove. Only by fiddle with the correct combination of numbers and passwords can the golden coffin be opened.This is very similar to our current lockbox, but it is not as complicated as the current lockbox. This is the oldest lockbox.

Wan Juncheng stroked his chin and thought for a while, then reached out and quickly fiddled with the lock, flicking out a string of codes.When he fiddled with the last number into the groove, there was a clear "click!" from the lock, and then the lock automatically popped open, and the coffin lid slowly lifted up.

Professor Ye raised his eyebrows: "Professor Wan is really amazing, he easily cracked the password!"

"Hehe!" Wan Juncheng clapped his hands and said with a relaxed face, "It's very simple, the password is the time when the Yipintang organization was established!"

"It's really wise!" Professor Ye praised.

The two men spoke as if they were playing charades, and no one knew whether what they said was sincere praise or disdainful ridicule.

I always feel that the words of the two are weird, but I can't tell the key point.

The coffin lid was opened, and the ancient corpse in the coffin appeared before our eyes.

The ancient corpse was dressed in heavy armor, shining silver, and must have been a majestic figure during his lifetime.

His face was invisible, and he wore a mysterious bronze grimace on it, adding to the mystery.

A dead body sleeping in a dark wooden coffin will not decompose for hundreds of thousands of years.

The same is true for this ancient corpse. His body was not dry-salted, and it still looks plump in texture, as if it had just died.

The inside of the coffin is clear at a glance, and there are no redundant funeral objects.

Wan Juncheng put on sterile gloves and put his hand under the ancient corpse. He was very skilled at touching the treasure, and quickly touched it once.But his complexion was not very good-looking, obviously there was nothing he wanted under the ancient corpse.Immediately afterwards, his hands quickly moved across the front of the ancient corpse, but there was still nothing.

Wan Juncheng became a little anxious. He carefully opened the mouth of the ancient corpse to see if there was anything in the mouth of the ancient corpse.

There was indeed something stuffed in the mouth of the ancient corpse, it was a piece of mutton fat jade the size of a thumb, it might have been worn during his lifetime.

But this piece of suet jade was not what Wan Juncheng was looking for. He withdrew his hand and stood beside the coffin in a dejected manner, without saying a word, wondering what he was thinking about.

I know what Wan Juncheng is looking for, what he wants is not those priceless treasures, what he wants is the third bronze eyeball.He got the bronze eyeballs of Tianzitang and Dizitang, and now he only needs the bronze eyeballs of Renzitang.And he followed us all the way to Dunhuang to force us to hand over those two bronze eyeballs. It seems that these bronze eyeballs should be hiding some secrets of the Xixia Dynasty or the Yipintang organization.

"Why not? Why not?" Wan Juncheng scratched his head and ears, talking to himself anxiously.

When he raised his head, he suddenly froze, his eyes fixed on the top of the tomb.

Seeing Wan Juncheng staring so engrossed, I followed his gaze to the top of the tomb.

On the top of the tomb is a carved stone statue of a dragon head, with flying dragon beards, lifelike.Moreover, the shape of the faucet is ingenious, it was drilled from the top of the tomb.Facing the golden coffin below.It looked like a three-dimensional relief, as if a flying dragon was hiding on the top of the temple, and then it poked its head out and stared at the golden coffin below.

When I saw it for the first time, I was slightly taken aback, feeling that it was a real dragon, as if it would rush out any moment.

Although this dragon head stone carving is indeed very unique, but other than that, I don't see anything unusual. I really don't know why Wan Juncheng stared at it for so long. What is he thinking about?

After a while, Wan Juncheng slowly withdrew his gaze, and ordered the two strong men in black behind him: "Come here, and see if you can push this coffin!"

Push the coffin? !
Although the two men in black felt puzzled by Wan Juncheng's order, they still followed it.

Pushed by the two men in black, the heavy coffin turned slowly in a clockwise direction, and at the same time, there was a clicking sound from the ground, like the sound of some kind of mechanism turning.

Wan Juncheng's eyebrows were faintly excited, and he couldn't help urging: "Quick! Quick!"

While urging his men on, he eagerly looked up, feeling as if some treasure was about to fall from the top of the tomb.

We were also secretly surprised, looking around, not knowing what mechanism was activated.

At this moment, there was a soft "cha" sound from inside the silent tomb, and then the entire main tomb suddenly turned into a strange blue color, making the already spooky temple even more mysterious and frightening.

We looked around in amazement, and found that the eyes of the eight gods and Buddhas of Tianlong Babu were all burning with faint blue flames. These eight gods and Buddhas seemed to wake up suddenly, staring at us coldly, making us I feel panicked in my heart.

Suddenly, Han Jing looked up at the top of the tomb and shouted: "Look! The dragon above...the dragon's mouth opened..."

what? !

At this moment, we were surprised to find that the dragon's mouth carved in the dragon's head was opened.

This is so weird!
The dragon head carved out of stone opened its mouth? !

I also looked at the stone carving of the dragon head carefully just now, and I clearly remember that the dragon's mouth was closed, but now the dragon's mouth is wide open, as if it is about to spit out something.

Under our astonished eyes, a faintly glowing bead slowly rolled out of the dragon's mouth, and then fell into the golden coffin impartially.

My eyeballs almost flew out of their sockets, the dragon spit out beads? !It's amazing!

Although I know that this is just an exquisite mechanism designed by ancient craftsmen, I have to admit that I am still deeply shocked. Who the hell came up with such an awesome mechanism!

"Finally found you! Hahaha! Finally found you!" Wan Juncheng looked excited, picked up the bead spit out of the dragon's mouth, and laughed long and loudly. The laughter wafted back and forth in the tomb, which was particularly piercing.

I took a closer look and found that the bead was neither a luminous pearl nor a pearl or jade, but a bronze eyeball!
Correct!
A fist-sized, bronze eyeball container, exactly the same as the two bronze eyeballs we found before.

This is the third bronze eyeball!
I wasn't in the slightest surprised to see the bronze eyeball popping out of the dragon's mouth, which was exactly what I expected.Wan Juncheng worked tirelessly to find Tiangong, and it was really for this bronze eyeball.Now that the bronze eyeballs at the Three Halls of Heaven, Earth and Man have been assembled, I am more and more curious about the secrets contained in these three bronze eyeballs. Could it be possible that the three bronze eyeballs can summon the dragon?Or being able to summon Aladdin's lamp?
"Congratulations, big brother, for finding the third bronze eye. Our plan is just around the corner!" Agou said.

Wan Juncheng smiled, and carefully put the bronze eyeballs into his backpack, his face full of excitement.

"Kneel and thank the ancestors!" Wan Juncheng knelt on the ground, bowed three times, and then ordered his two men to close the coffin lid, and then exited the tomb respectfully.

We left the Hanging Temple, and before we left, I turned my head and stared at this marvelous and wonderful building reluctantly. The whole temple loomed in the misty clouds, like a fairy palace. This strange scene will be etched in my memory forever. depths of memory.
