Infinite Myth Counterattack

Chapter 301 Hope After Despair
"Wait a moment."

Luo Changfeng stood in front of the painted painting and observed for a while, then suddenly stopped the engineer's movement, walked to the side, looked at the wall from the side, and said to himself: "It really is."

Chen Yulou and others stepped forward for no apparent reason, and made the same movements as Luo Changfeng, and finally saw clearly that the woman on the mural protruded from the plane, as if there was a corpse built under the portrait.

Chen Yulou also understood, and said: "I know, there was a hole in this wall before, and this woman was built here to plug the hole."

Luo Changfeng nodded and said, "That's right, so we don't need explosives at all."

After speaking, he raised his leg and kicked the abdomen of the woman on the mural.

"boom"

When Luo Changfeng stepped down, a fat female corpse escaped from the wall, flew into the tomb, fell to the ground, and remained motionless.

Since it is not an extremely cloudy day of the year, the corpse cave has not been activated. In this original plot, the queen who was filled with Tai Sui's eyes, almost strangled Hu Bayi, and gave birth to many corpse moths remained silent.

Engineer: "..."

Well, it's nothing to do with them.

Luo Lao stroking the beard on his chin, said: "Grandma, this is really strange, who is this female corpse? How could it be embedded in the wall?"

Luo Changfeng said: "It should be the queen of King Xian. As for why it was used to fill the hole, I can only ask King Xian. Let's go in! No accident, King Xian's coffin is inside."

Partridge Whistle lifted his spirits, and was the first to bend down and get into the tomb, followed by Chen Yulou and others.

On the left side of the tomb is a trapezoidal bronze coffin with a small mouth, but it is small in size and strange in shape.

This coffin is a mixture of wood and copper, the overall color is brown and black, it is made of Zhennan wood, inlaid with complex copper decorations, there are hollowed out miniature courtyards and pavilions on all sides, and a huge copper bird is cast on the top. The coffin lid is not sealed. dead, there is no corpse inside, only a set of "queen feather jade clothes".

This sparrow-feather jade garment is exquisite in quality and is all made of gold thread. Apart from this garment, there is nothing extra in the coffin.

Partridge Whistle scratched the inside with a dagger, but there was not even corpse mud. It seemed that this was indeed an empty coffin. If the corpse had been completely decomposed, at least a thin layer of vermilion mud would be left behind.

Luo Laowai ordered his subordinates to pack up the bird feathers and jade clothes, and the partridge whistle thoughtfully walked in one direction, muttering to himself: "The coffin of King Xian should be in the same position as the coffin of Shadow Bone. , if that's the case..."

Partridge Whistle moved slowly according to the location of the shadow bone coffin in his memory, and everyone followed behind him, moving eastward.

In the end, the footsteps of the partridge whistle stopped in an empty place, where there was only a slightly protruding white stone that grew into one with the surrounding area, and there was no coffin.

Partridge Whistle's face was a bit ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "It stands to reason that the coffin of King Xian should be placed here, but why... nothing?"

Luo Changfeng looked at the bulge on the ground, and said meaningfully: "Maybe there is nothing."

Everyone looked at him, not understanding what he meant.

But Luo Changfeng pointed to the raised white stone and said to the swordsmen, "Use a steel drill to knock off this raised white stone."

"Yes." The swordsmen didn't ask why, they just followed the order.

Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle were moved in their hearts, "Changfeng, what do you mean, this bulge is likely to be the coffin of King Xian?"

Luo Changfeng nodded and said: "I'm just a guess, but this guess is probably correct. Right below this position is where the shadow bone coffin is placed, and there happens to be such a bulge here, why? Is it such a coincidence?"

"Although this tomb is not big, it is also not small. Why is there no bulge in other places, but here?"

After listening to Luo Changfeng's explanation, Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle nodded involuntarily, watching the swordsmen work with burning eyes, and the sound of "ding ding ding" hammers hitting steel brazing could not be heard in the tomb.

As time passed, after they knocked away the half-foot-thick white stone, a color completely different from the white stone was revealed.

Chen Yulou said a little excitedly: "There is indeed something inside, the coffin of King Xian is really here."

Seeing the results of their work, the swordsmen became more excited and speeded up one after another. Soon, a human-shaped coffin was exposed. Chen Yulou explained to everyone that it was a "Jade Top Hairpin Jinlin Coffin" toe coffin".

The top of the coffin has the shape of a human head and two shoulders, and the seal is sealed with four golden "lin toes" interlaced. Because King Xian intends to ascend to immortality after the corpse is dissected, the lid of the coffin has not been wedged firmly.

Human-shaped coffins were rare in ancient China, and most of them were wooden coffins. Egypt, Maya and some European countries used the most human-shaped coffins.

There is a vortex engraved on the top of this human-shaped coffin. The shape of the vortex almost covers the entire jade roof. The vortex is similar to the eyeball. If you look closely, it turns out to be a curved phoenix, which is shaped like a vortex. The pupil is the head of the phoenix. .

Seeing this pattern, the three brothers and sisters of Partridge Whistle couldn't help getting excited. Seeing this, Chen Yulou smiled slightly and waved his hands: "Brothers, what are you waiting for? Open the coffin and get the Muchen Bead."

The swordsmen lifted the jade cover of the coffin and put it aside, revealing the corpse of King Xian, who was wearing a black python-patterned jade armor robe and a purple gold belt around his waist.

However, when they saw King Xian's face, everyone shuddered. The corpse of King Xian had no face.

Maybe this is not an appropriate description. It is more accurate to say that the facial features of King Xian's corpse have become blurred and distorted, leaving only a few traces.

The mouth, nose, and eyes are almost indistinguishable, as if they have melted into the face, making the head appear smooth and weird, like wearing a mask of jade skin.

Moreover, the coffin was clearly visible at a glance, and there was not even a burial artifact, Luo Laowai said hesitantly: "This is so...won't it be a dummy?"

Partridge Whistle's face changed slightly, he grasped Xian Wang's arm, and rolled up the sleeves of the python-patterned gown, but saw that his five fingers were clenched tightly, and it was obvious that there was a bright weapon in his hand.

Look at the skin on the corpse's hands, it's not a dummy. Partridge Whistle squeezed Xian Wang's corpse with his hand, it was even a little elastic, and it was well preserved. Then he pinched it on the corpse's face, but The tentacles are hard and seem to have been completely jaded.

Partridge Whistle has never seen what the real "Muchen Bead" looks like, he has only seen pictures and texts, and he doesn't know the size of the real Muchen Bead, and whether he can just hold it in his hand like this.

But no matter what, King Xian was their last hope to move the mountain. Partridge Whistle forcefully opened King Xian's fingers, but when he saw what was in his palm, his heart sank.

In the left hand of King Xian's corpse, what was held was a spoiled peach pit. Although it was unexpected, it was not surprising.

Chinese people have a special feeling for "peach", and regard it as a fetish to avoid evil, avoid disasters, and prolong life. Therefore, there are many peach-shaped utensils in ancient handicrafts.

According to legend, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was the longest reigning emperor in the Western Han Dynasty. The emperor wanted to be a god after a long time, so he often mobilized people to pay homage to the three mountains and five mountains, and sent people to search for the medicine of immortality.

This painstaking effort finally moved the Queen Mother of the West in Kunlun Mountains. On the night of Qixi Festival in the first year of Yuanfeng, she came to Weiyang Palace in Ziyun chariot to meet Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

During the banquet, the Queen Mother of the West ate four fairy peaches for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty felt that the taste was sweet and unusually fragrant, which was very different from the things in the world, so he planned to leave the peach pits to plant in the world.

As a result, I learned that this kind of divine product could hardly survive in the world, and I couldn't help being disappointed. Later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty still failed to realize his wish of immortality.

However, people who lived to the age of seventy were very rare in that era. Perhaps it was because of eating Xiantao that they lived to the age of seventy.

Of course, this is just a folklore, but the wind of holding peach pits in the hands of emperors after death has a long history. It was very common as early as the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. However, peach pits are plants and are the easiest to decompose. Hard to see.

Partridge Whistle felt even more flustered at this time, Chen Yulou, Luo Laowai and the others all frowned, a touch of sympathy for Partridge Whistle arose in their hearts, and they didn't know how to comfort him, so they had to remain silent Without saying a word, he silently watched him grope Xian Wang's body from head to toe.

King Xian's right hand was also clenched tightly, which was already the last hope of Partridge Whistle, but after breaking it apart, Partridge Whistle was like a bucket of cold water being poured on it.

In King Xian's right hand, there are many black jade rings, and there are no beads at all, not only on King Xian's body, but also in the coffin.

Partridge Whistle staggered back a few steps. At this moment, he only felt that his eyes were going black, and his heart was all hopeless.

It's not that he hasn't experienced disappointment before, but this time is indeed the one with the greatest hope. However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. The repeated disappointments that exploded at this moment became despair.

At this time, Luo Changfeng suddenly said: "Brother Partridge Whistle, don't be too desperate, don't you think that the head of King Xian is a bit too strange?"

Partridge Whistle's eyes regained their luster, and looked at Luo Changfeng expectantly, only to hear Luo Changfeng slowly say: "Tell me... Could King Xian put Muchen Bead in his mouth?" ?”

"Therefore, it is said that the Muchen Bead is the gall of the phoenix, which has the effect of helping people cultivate into immortals. It must contain extremely special power."

"Perhaps it is because King Xian put Muchen Bead in his mouth that the head of this corpse becomes so weird."
