Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 808
Lao Yan agreed with my approach, but Yazai shook his head, saying that there is no hurry, no hurry, such a good mirror must be appreciated carefully.

What do you mean?
I looked at Yazai's appearance, and immediately thought of a possibility --- if the door of this tomb is to be opened, the diorama in front of me must be smashed.

Tomb robbers often lose because of greed. If they were tomb robbers, it would be a worthwhile trip to get this diorama out, so I guess they would not be willing to smash the diorama.

I took out a hammer from my bag and told the boy to get out of the way.

"Are you really willing?" Yazai joked.

I glanced at him: "Why, I'm not willing to hammer, but you are?"

Yazai wisely didn't say anything, instead, he moved away from the diorama, as if letting me smash it.

I weighed the weight of the hammer, then turned my eyes to the mirror, slowly swung my hand, and slammed it hard on the mirror.

boom!
Following this sound, a very obvious crack appeared in the mirror. I smashed it in the same place several times, and the crack deepened again and again. Finally, I finally heard the sound of the whole mirror shattering.

Behind the mirror is a light-colored door that looks like an ordinary house.

My scalp is numb when I look at this door, because there is a person lying on it—no, to be precise, it is a piece of human skin!
I can be sure that it's real human skin, something that looks like it makes people's blood turn cold can't be fake.

"Just now...is this thing?" Miss Qiu frowned.

Yazai laughed and said: "It's not clear, maybe it's really a ghost on human skin."

I don't think so, it's a piece of human skin, but it's impossible for human skin to escape.

"Don't make trouble!" I frowned, the more I said at this time, the more likely to cause panic.

Although those of us who have experienced many battles don't care about panic, sometimes panic can cloud judgment.

The boy was still giggling, I gave him a direct look, told him to take care of Professor Xu, and then squatted beside the human skin.

Judging by the size of the human skin, the deceased's height was no more than 1.7 meters. If it was a man, then the stature would be considered very small. If it was a woman --- then it seemed that the stature should be relatively appropriate.

The more I studied, the more I felt chills all over my body. This human skin was peeled off when the person was alive, and it can be seen from the consistency of the flesh and blood on the skin. If it was peeled off after death, there would be very little flesh and blood, because after death After a period of time, the skin and flesh and blood will slowly separate, and only when the skin is alive can skinning have such an effect.

"This is deterrent!" Professor Xu said softly.

Although his voice was very soft, the emotion inside was very obvious, with sadness and a trace of indignation.

I asked him what it was to deter, and Professor Xu sighed: "Deter ghosts and tomb robbers."

Goblin?
I can understand deterring tomb robbers, but deterring ghosts?
Professor Xu nodded and said that there was a custom in the Western Han Dynasty, where the skins of living people were peeled off and pasted on the tomb door to deter ghosts, because ghosts might also occupy magpies' nests and take away the right to live in ancient tombs.

It's the first time I've heard this statement, so I'm a little curious.

Professor Xu shook his head and said that this custom is not practiced much, so he has never seen it. After all, the living skin is too cruel. As the saying goes, people who are about to die have good words, and the owner of the tomb will not be willing. There are too many bloody things in his own tomb.

After listening to his explanation, I immediately became interested in this living human skin. I found a pair of gloves and put them on, then touched the human skin lightly.

Because of the cloth barrier, the touch is not very clear, but I shivered, as if I touched a cold ice cube.

It stands to reason that it would be a little cooler in the tomb, but not so cold.

"This...Professor Xu, come and take a look." I turned to look at Professor Xu.

The human skin bulged up a little from my touch, and I suddenly felt that something seemed to be moving inside.

"and many more!"

As Professor Xu was about to come over, my face suddenly changed. I pushed him to the ground and shouted, "Everyone get down!"

Then there was the sound of buzzing wings and flapping, coming from behind us, and then something seemed to pierce my back.

A searing pain hits my back and I hiss.Professor Xu asked me what was wrong, I quickly waved my hand and said nothing, because the burning pain made me speechless, but in order not to worry Professor Xu, I still tried my best to keep my face from becoming ugly.

I don't know what happened to the others, but I didn't dare to turn back because the sound of flapping wings continued and we couldn't run.If my judgment is correct, this is a creature similar to flying insects. Once we run away, we are likely to be besieged by this group of things.

I don't know how long it took, but I heard the soft humming of Lao Yan and the gopher, as well as the low-pitched cursing of Yazi, and even the sound of Miss Qiu being held down by Lao Yan when she was about to jump up.

I turned around slowly, but the movement of raising my head was very slight. I saw that the human skin was riddled with holes, and all the unknown objects flying out of it exploded in the sky above us, blasting us all The small blisters one by one hurt me so much that I was heartbroken.

Fortunately, there is no problem with Professor Xu being protected by me.

Yazai quickly looked at me and said that it was fortunate that I protected him, otherwise Professor Xu would not be able to bear the pain.

I shook my head, I had to do that in the situation at that time, Professor Xu was injured by a gunshot during the last mission, and was indirectly placed by the Yanjing archaeological team later on, his injury did not recover very well.

In addition, his physique is incomparable to ours. The reason why he came this time is to cover Kumbu, and it should also be for the "Hold Corpse Jade Clothes".The rarity of this thing is not ordinary, and the chances of him joining the archaeological team will be much less in the future, so we must take this opportunity to take a look, I can understand.

So he can't have an accident. If he has an accident, I'm afraid that Yazai will go crazy. By then, 701 and the Yanjing archaeological team will really be enemies.

I looked at the human skin, and then pointedly looked at Professor Xu, but he just shook his head, but his brows twisted into the word Chuan.

Yazai also said that he didn't know what it was, that there were bugs in the human skin, or this kind of explosive bugs, it's really unbelievable!
Because such bugs have no way to survive in the skin that has lost the ability to breathe.

Lao Yan glanced at me and asked me if I had any ideas. I shook my head and said I hadn't seen it, but my grandparents had encountered similar things.

"En?" Lao Yan motioned to me to talk.

I calmed down my thoughts a bit, and there was actually a mention in "Star Official Secrets", but the only regret is that the ancestors didn't record the appearance and characteristics of this thing, otherwise I could still refer to it.

But what he encountered was a kind of bug hidden in the skin of the leaves. These leaves looked exactly the same as ordinary ones, but in fact they were full of bugs under the skin. Once they felt threatened, they would rush out from the skin and die with the enemy.

Lao Yan looked at the human skin in front of him, and said that these two kinds of bugs should be the same...

"Liu Qu's grandson is too cruel!" I looked at him, not knowing what to say.Because this thing must be in the body of a living thing, and the leaves must also be alive, so the worm must be fed into the skin while the person is alive.

Lao Yan sighed secretly, saying that Liu Qu was extremely cruel, he could be executed in court because of dissatisfaction with his concubine's attire, let alone these servants?
I took a breath, and felt more and more that the ancient system of supremacy of imperial power really didn't take human life seriously.Liu Qu is only a small prince, but he is still above the people, not to mention using human skin, I guess if he is willing to lure, some people will send their wives and children to him for use.

At that time, human life was really worthless...

I sighed, and then I shook my head, now is not the time to think about these things, we must find the cold corpse as soon as possible is the kingly way!
