Chapter 48 Exogenous Branches
Chen Ziyang walked to the sculpture in the tomb and looked at it carefully.

This sculpture is a huge spherical shape, the whole body is made of copper.But now the entire sculpture is covered with blue-green patina.The whole sculpture is composed of upper and lower hemispheres, which are completely symmetrical.Each hemisphere is formed by the gathering of four five-clawed true dragons, competing for a bead at the intersection of the apex of the sphere.Except for a circular bronze ring at the junction of the upper and lower hemispheres, the entire sculpture is hollowed out.

The eight dragons that make up the entire sculpture are all five-clawed real dragons. Chen Ziyang remembers that he seems to have seen somewhere before that five-clawed real dragons are only suitable for use by the royal family.Now there are eight five-clawed golden dragons, so could it be that the owner of this tomb is a relative of the emperor who likes carpentry?That's not right, a diving fish that transforms into a dragon cannot bury a real dragon.

Chen Ziyang just felt that the shapes of these dragons carved by this sculpture were very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them before. From the hollowed out part of the sculpture, it was found that the coffin was emitting a faint white light.

Chen Ziyang was terrified by this, so he quickly looked carefully, only to find that Yang Lei and Shan Shishuai, two money buffs, ran to the coffin to study after packing the plum vase.The two murmured softly: "Old umbrella, what kind of jade is the jade in this jade coffin? Is it jadeite or Hetian jade? If you cut a piece of it, can you get a bracelet out of it?"

Shuai Sanshi replied: "I don't see any of them. This one seems to be Xiuyu from Liaoning. I have been to Yunnan and Qinghai when I was a soldier. Yunnan is full of jadeite, and Qinghai is full of Hetian jade, but It seems that I have never seen such a hair color, it should be Xiuyu."

While researching, the two of them actually shined a bright flashlight on the coffin to see how the coffin was planted.Chen Ziyang saw from a distance that through the strong light of the flashlight, a black human figure appeared faintly in the coffin. Just when he wanted to remind the two of them to stop quickly, Chen Ziyang suddenly found the black figure in the coffin. The shadow seemed to move.

Chen Ziyang was quite frightened by this, and he whispered to the two of them, "You two are dying, get out of there quickly." However, Yang Lei and Shuai Sanshi didn't pay attention to him at all. body, the two continued to study there.Chen Ziyang stepped forward a few steps to stop the two people, but he didn't notice that his backpack strap was caught by a dragon nail on a dragon's claw.

Chen Ziyang pushed forward and turned the ball around.It turns out that the bottom of this spherical sculpture can be rotated, just like a huge globe, but the sculpture was stationary due to rust.With Chen Ziyang's exertion, the bearing of the whole ball embedded in the ground made a loud noise, and the ball rattled and turned.As the ball rotated, a lot of copper rust and dust on it fell off.

The sudden loud noise obviously frightened Yang Lei and Shuai Sanshi.Shuai Shanshi was okay, he was a soldier after all, although he was suddenly frightened, he just looked towards the place where the sound came from, and didn't react too much after finding out that it was Chen Ziyang.But the cowardly Yang Lei was so frightened that he got into a catastrophe.

The jade coffin was not placed on a high platform, but was laid flat on the ground.There are four chains protruding from the four corners of the bottom of the coffin. The chains are not very long, only about two feet. The other end of the chains is a jade nail, and the four jade nails are nailed straight to the ground.The four chains and the four jade nails are all connected with the coffin and carved from the same piece of jade.

After Yang Lei studied the coffin, he found that the coffin was not easy to start with, so he turned around and pouted his buttocks with his back to the coffin, and began to study the jade nails on the ground.Frightened by Chen Ziyang, Yang Lei stood up in fear and hurriedly stepped back a few steps, but accidentally touched the coffin.Unexpectedly, the coffin lid, which should have been tightly closed, slid to the side as if there was no resistance under the touch of Yang Lei's giant buttocks.

After the lid of the coffin slid open, Yang Lei tripped over the coffin backwards and fell backwards. Unbalanced, Yang Lei did a 270-degree backflip and fell into the coffin.Yang Lei, who fell into the coffin suddenly, was kissing a big green face like old tree bark, and what disgusted Yang Lei the most was that the corpse was wet, and now he could only feel his own Both lips were covered with sticky mucus.

"My God!" Yang Lei jumped out of the coffin with a loud cry. He didn't know whether he was scared or disgusted. In his haste, five consecutive shotgun shots landed in the jade coffin.Following Yang Lei's screams, the corpse in the coffin slowly sat up, turned its withered face to Chen Ziyang's direction, and a faint green light slowly appeared in its eyes.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Chen Ziyang's scalp was numb with fright, and he didn't know what to do in a hurry.On the other hand, Shuai Ushishi reacted quickly, and hurriedly wanted to lift the lid of the coffin leaning on it, and put the green bark monster into the coffin.But the coffin lid, which had slipped off easily just now, weighed over a thousand catties in his hands, and he couldn't lift it no matter what.

Just when Chen Ziyang was in a daze, Yang Lei was scared to death, and Ushishi Shuai squeezed too much and his face was flushed, the green light in the eyes of this old bark monster covered with green slime became more and more intense, and then the green The monster jumped out of the coffin like a monkey, climbed up the stone wall not far behind the coffin, and disappeared into the darkness of the cave roof.

At this time, Chen Ziyang felt regretful, what kind of sculptures to look at, how good it was to drag these two money fans away just now, there are not so many things.

Yang Lei scrambled to Chen Ziyang's side, crying and said: "Er Yang, what is that, you're going to kill him soon." Shuai Shi also hurriedly moved closer to the two of them, clenched his hands sapper shovel.The three stood back to back, looking at the dark tomb.

Sometimes the fear of the unknown is the scariest thing. When Chen Ziyang saw the green-skinned monster just now, he was just afraid, but now facing the boundless darkness, knowing that the monster is hidden in this darkness, he can't Knowing when to rush out from which direction, Chen Ziyang's fear has turned into fear.

Just when the three of them didn't know what to do, the flashlight in Chen Ziyang's hand flickered a few times, then the light dimmed, and then suddenly the light went out completely, obviously it was out of power.At this moment, invisible pressure came from the darkness on all sides.
