Chapter 316 Xiahou Yuan's real body
I immediately stood up in excitement. At this moment, the lazy man had walked up to the white jade disc and was stroking the pattern on the surface of the disc intoxicatedly. The look of pity was like stroking a stunning beauty.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
The lazy man turned to look at me and explained: "If I guessed correctly, this disc should be where Xia Houyuan's body is stored. Lazy man, although I am not good at learning, I have been wandering around with the master for more than ten years, and I am still the first
The first time I saw such a disc-shaped coffin, it was a new experience."
"Are you kidding me? Damn it, this thing is a coffin." My jaw almost dropped in shock.
"I'm not kidding you, this must be a coffin. Look at its size, it's enough to hold a person..." the lazy man pointed at the disc.
After listening to the lazy man's words, I couldn't help but feel like a curious baby, tapping here and there on the white jade disk. The size of this disk can indeed hold an adult, but from the time I went to the tomb to now, I still have no idea.
I have never encountered a coffin that looks like a flying saucer.
Throughout Chinese history, I have never heard of any dynasty where such round coffins were popular, so I think this is a bit strange.
Seeing me thinking hard there, the lazy man waved and said, "Come here and help open this coffin!"
"Oh, oh." I nodded repeatedly, but this disk seemed to be carved from a huge piece of mutton-fat jade. It was made in one go from top to bottom. There were no gaps at all. I held a crowbar and couldn't.
Nowhere to start.
"Brother, lazy guy, how do you get this thing? Do you have to use a hammer to break it open?" I said with a bitter smile.
"Have you seen the strange lines on the white jade plate?" the lazy man asked, lowering his head.
"Yeah, I saw it."
"This should be a popular formation method during the Three Kingdoms period, called the Eight-Door Golden Lock Formation! It was originally a ring within a ring, but now the order has been disrupted. We only need to use the Eight-Door Golden Lock Formation
Once the formation is restored, the switch should be activated and the coffin will be opened." The lazy man carefully stroked the lines on it and said.
At the same time, he briefly introduced to me how to restore the formation?
The Eight-Door Golden Lock Formation is composed of eight doors, each door represents a fragment. To break through the Eight-Door Golden Lock Formation, just remember one sentence: the door to walk through life, the door to avoid death! All we have to do is to break the white jade disc
Just put the movable pieces together and put them together until you reach the goal. At first glance, it sounds similar to Tetris played on your mobile phone.
Well, that's the truth.
Although I thought it was simple in my heart, it became a little difficult when I started to use my hands. There are many uneven parts in the corners of these fragments. It is very troublesome to completely embed them into the entrance door. If I am not careful, it will be easy.
Confusion occurs.
The lazy man even reminded me that he didn't know if there was an anti-theft mechanism installed on this coffin. If the spelling was wrong, thousands of arrows would be fired, and the two of us would have to stay with Xia Houyuan.
This time I was even more nervous. I worked with the lazy man for half an hour before restoring the entire formation. I didn't even dare to wipe the sweat drops from my forehead.
As the last fragment was restored, the disc suddenly made a sound.
"Ka, ka, ka..."
Eight clear and sweet sounds in a row rang in our ears.
Fortunately, the sound is not loud, it sounds like opening a lock, otherwise it will definitely attract the face of the woman in the ghost house!
As the eight sounds ended, the entire white jade disk was like a blooming lotus, splitting layer by layer towards the surroundings. The petals were beautiful and exuded an intoxicating luster.
First, the outermost layer of white jade petals bloomed, and then the lower layer of petals. After all seven or forty-nine petals bloomed, the true identity of the thing in the white jade disk was revealed.
I saw a burly corpse lying under the white jade plate. The corpse was neatly dressed in Wei black armor, with a wolf helmet on, and an iron mask with a green face and fangs on its face. Judging from the attire,
This is a high-ranking military commander. The strange thing is that although this corpse was cut in half at the waist and only the upper half was left, the skin exposed under the armor is lifelike, and flesh and blood can be seen, as if it is not dead.
Instead, he seemed to be asleep.
Before I could speak, the lazy man said: "This should be Xia Houyuan! Look at his body, it is exactly the same as recorded in history. He was cut in two by Huang Zhong, a veteran of the Shu Kingdom, at Dingjun Mountain."
"Is it really Xia Houyuan's coffin?" I was almost shocked by the coffin in front of me, which looked like blooming flowers. I said to myself: "I think the craftsman who designed this coffin is still a world-class master.
The coffin is not only ingenious, but also extremely beautiful. If the fat man was not here, he would definitely be crying and shouting to move the coffin away."
"It's not that easy to take it away." The lazy man shook his head and said, "This kind of mutton-fat jade is very brittle. As long as you crack a crack, it will break into pieces and you won't be able to sell it for a penny..."
"I'm not that greedy for money. Let's see what Xia Houyuan looks like first!" After I finished speaking, I stretched out my hand to remove the ghost mask covering the corpse's face.
Halfway through his hand, he suddenly noticed that something seemed to be moving in his field of vision, and he immediately shrank back in fright.
The lazy man asked me what was wrong, and I said there was something in the coffin.
The lazy man immediately frowned and turned the flashlight to its maximum brightness and shined it into the coffin. It turned out that below Xia Houyuan's severed waist, there were densely packed datura flower rhizomes. The color of these rhizomes was much brighter than before.
What I saw was even more red! Every once in a while, it squirmed, like a living thing. There were hundreds of them at least.
I asked the lazy guy if these roots would kill anyone?
The lazy man was silent for a moment, then pinched out a lively little cockroach from the small box of his clothes and threw it near the roots. Fortunately, although these roots were moving, they seemed to have lost 90% of their vitality.
He paid no attention to the little cockroach and did not attack it.
I then put on my silver gloves with confidence and uncovered Xia Houyuan's ghost mask. When I saw it, I almost screamed out in fright. Unexpectedly, Xia Houyuan, who had been dead for more than a thousand years, did not have any decay on his face, except for some...
In addition to withering, even the expression on his face is clearly visible! Moreover, there is no smell of physical decay coming from his body. He has a tall nose, big eyes, two mustaches, and a resolute face. He sleeps peacefully in the white jade disc.
"He...he...isn't he still dead?" I said, holding the mask tremblingly.
"Death is definitely dead." The lazy man was not as nervous as I was. After being stunned for a moment, his whole body returned to normal, and he touched the disgusting blood-red roots on the corpse with his hands.
He didn't mind it being dirty, so he let me shine a flashlight next to him, and he stroked the dead body from beginning to end with his own hands.
When he reached the armor part of the corpse, the lazy man suddenly shouted in surprise: "Look what this is!"
I was startled by the lazy man's sudden excitement, and looked curiously at the position of his hands. Only then did I realize that there were a lot of green grass growing in the gaps in Xia Houyuan's black armor, which looked like...
Like the buds that have just sprouted when everything comes to life in spring.
After taking a gentle sniff, I found that there was no corpse smell as expected, but a refreshing fragrance that hit my nostrils. The fragrance was a hundred times stronger than French perfume or anything like that.
I immediately remembered the corpse herb that the lazy guy told me, and quickly asked him if it was that?
The lazy man nodded and said: "It can emit such a refreshing aroma, what else can it be but corpse herbs? These corpse herbs grow on corpses that are more than a thousand years old. They are rare and the best."
"So the fat man can be saved?" I asked.
"There is no unstoppable road. Rumor has it that the corpse herb only grows in Feng Valley, Yunnan. I didn't expect it to be found in this tomb. As long as you get the corpse herb, you can definitely detoxify the spider and save my fat nephew!" Lazy man!
said.
I urged: "Hurry up then! Do you want to pull out all the grass, or do you have any excuses?"
"There is nothing taboo about picking, but you have to be careful not to touch Xia Houyuan's corpse. I always feel that this corpse is in a state of immortality. I'm afraid it will turn into a corpse after being infected with popularity! And after picking it off, we have to do it again.
Go find Fatty Junior Nephew immediately, otherwise the grass will wither in three hours and there will be no effect."
"Okay, I'll give it to Fatty right now."
I don't know why, seeing these corpse herbs, I actually felt a little bit greedy, and almost plucked every corpse plant on Xia Houyuan's body. If the lazy man hadn't been so anxious, I would have pulled out all the corpse herbs.
It has to be clean. After all, it is a magical elixir that can bring people back to life. I can take away more than one plant. I almost got a dozen corpse herbs. If I take them out and put them on the black market, they can probably be exchanged for a U.S.
The mansion. Even if it is not replaced, whoever is poisoned at a critical moment in the future can still save his or her life.
Unexpectedly, just when I was secretly glad that I could finally make a profit, there was once again a strange crawling sound from outside the tower. The sound was rustling, like a big python gliding in the sand, and then matched with it.
The environment where I couldn't see my fingers was so frightening that my heart almost stopped.
