Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 227 Want to cover up
"I didn't believe it at first, but look at this! There are no wounds on their bodies, and the reason why their waists are not connected is because the snake ate them from the inside." Professor Xu pointed to the corpses.

I looked over, and indeed found no other wounds on the body except the round hole made by the snake breaking out.

Immediately I felt horrified, keeping a snake in my body, letting the snake eat human flesh and drink human blood for a living, what kind of pain did the owner endure to die?

"No matter how benevolent those in power are, the lives of ordinary people are nothing more than a puddle of mud in their eyes." Professor Xu's expression was a little inexplicable, and he didn't know what he thought of.

Lao Yan didn't expect that this group of people died like this, and it took a long time before he asked if these people were buried alive?
"Well, it should be, otherwise it would be difficult to maintain such a posture! Only in a coffin can these people not struggle too much even if they are in great pain." Professor Xu said while touching a corpse, waiting When he touched his lower back, he sneered and said: Sure enough.

Lao Yan asked him what he found, and he withdrew his hand and said that these people were all fixed in coffins.

I couldn't imagine how a living person would be fixed in a coffin, and I didn't even dare to take a look. I just stood there in a daze and asked what should I do now?
"This should be the real burial pit. If so, then follow the location of the bell to find the main tomb. The main tomb should not be far away, but the time is limited, we have to find it as soon as possible." The white team quickly concluded: "This The thirteen coffins may have other secrets, let's see."

I really don't have a high attainment in organs, so I didn't intervene too much. I couldn't help but feel a little bored watching them pondering about the horizontal and vertical directions and the arrangement of the corpses beside the coffin.

"Chang'an, don't stand still, let's see what this is." When I was about to touch a cigarette to smoke, the boy ran over and asked me how I learned to smoke with a face of disapproval.

I spread my hands, and the appointed man stuffed the cigarette back.

This habit was developed during the few months of my illness. Although I can’t smoke during the convalescent period, they are too busy. I don’t know anyone in Yanjing except them, so I smoked a couple of cigarettes every once in a while. What I didn't expect was that it was a bit addictive, and it really wasn't worth it.

And Yazai is particularly disgusted with my smoking, saying that a good boy like me can’t learn from old smokers like Laoyan, and the smell of cigarettes smells like smoke when I open my mouth, so I seldom smoke in front of him. , but now I don't know why I suddenly became addicted to smoking.

"What did you want me to watch?" Seeing that the boy was about to lecture me again, I hurriedly changed the subject.

Sure enough, his attention was immediately diverted, and he grabbed my arm and pulled me to the side of a coffin.

I followed, and he excitedly pointed to a twelve or thirteen-year-old female corpse in a coffin and said, "Look, is that a piece of jade in her hand?"

I didn't take it seriously. It is very common for corpses to have jade in their hands. In ancient times, gold, silver and jade wares would be buried with them. Gold and silver are usually placed around the shadow palace, while jade is mostly accompanied by corpses. I don't understand how excited this boy is. What kind of energy.

"Oh, take a good look, this piece of jade is unusual!" Yazai pushed my head into the coffin, and I almost didn't have a warm hug with the female corpse. I was so shocked that I grabbed Yaozai's hand on a conditioned reflex. Just gave him a shoulder throw.

He probably didn't expect me to overreact, and was thrown to the ground and yelled, "Are you trying to kill me?"

I was also a little embarrassed, and quickly reached out to pull him up.

What I didn't say is that in fact, for a moment just now, I saw the female corpse in front of me as the "dead fish eyes" when I was a child, and the fear buried in my heart eroded my whole soul for a while.

"What's wrong with you?" Yazai probably also saw that something was wrong with me: "It's just a corpse, what are you afraid of?"

I shook my head and didn't speak, and concentrated on looking at the piece of jade that Yazai showed me.

This piece of jade is cylindrical, like a fan pendant, and there are no completely rotten tassels on it. Apart from the fact that the jade looks like the best quality, I don't think there is anything special about it.

"Look at the piece near the hand, is there a trace of blood-like red thread there?" Yazai raised his hand and nodded.

I rubbed my astringent eyes, looked over again, and indeed saw the red thread wrapped around the jade: "Is it a blood jade?"

"Not at that level, but it's still the best of the best." Yazai said.

"What's the matter? It's just a piece of valuable jade." I said disapprovingly.

Yazai laughed, very proudly: "Really? But just now Lao Yan said that this batch of corpses are not of high status, how could there be such precious things buried with them."

I immediately looked up at him: "What do you mean?"

"I mean, this is not just a burial pit!" Yazai stared at the jade, and said lightly, "Marquis Yi of Zeng is so good at playing that he wants to hide it."

I couldn't understand what he meant more and more. Fortunately, he didn't mean to whet my appetite. He quickly explained: "The ancients would often do such things to prevent the tomb from being stolen and the corpse to be destroyed! To confuse the public by placing the body of the master among the burials, a little experienced but unskilled tomb robbers would not move the corpses in the burial pit, because it is dangerous and has little value."

"You mean this corpse is the 'righteous master'?" I looked at the corpse in the coffin, about 20 years old, and felt that there was nothing special about it. It was dressed in the same way as the other corpses. The only difference might be her eyebrows. There is a cinnabar mole on the bone.

If it grows on a living person, it will definitely add to its demeanor, but this person is dead, and it has been thousands of years since his death, this demeanor has changed, and it has become weird, as if the owner of this cinnabar mole will come back to life at any time.

Yazai nodded first, and then shook his head: "I can't tell. If she is the real master, what is her identity? The eldest princess of the royal family has appeared. According to legend, Zeng Hou Yi is just such a sister. There are no other sisters, is this woman a concubine?"

"Look at the attire, she's still a girl." The Gunslinger who didn't know when appeared suddenly said something.

Yazai and I looked at him at the same time, the meaning of the smile was unclear.

Yazai snickered and said, "Brother, do you know a lot?"

"Go, go, you little bastards are surrounding a dead body, does it make sense?" Lao Yan pulled us away and asked what are we doing here?
The boy said his guess in a few words, and Lao Yan was a little excited when he heard the words, and directly touched the piece of jade with his hand.

Yu was stuck in the corpse's hand for only a few seconds, and Lao Yan smoothly touched his hand without damaging the corpse at all. This method of touching Captain Jin was really powerful.

"It's not blood jade, but it's not far away. After all, real blood jade is rare in the world, and this kind is already considered the best." Lao Yan studied the jade and said: "Your judgment is correct, it stands to reason that such Things really shouldn't appear on a funeral maid, unless..."

"Unless what?" I frowned.
