Zhang Chengcai added: "Originally there were eight researchers in our Xichuan City Museum. During the last Xichuan expedition, four of them disappeared at once. Now, with the addition of Director Ding and Xiao Sun, I am the only one left in the museum. I'm with Lao Liu, and you know, Lao Liu hasn't dug any big tombs in his life, and he's going to retire next year, so he doesn't take much care of things, so I'm basically the only one left."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and said to me: "Huang Tong, do you think Director Ding and Lao Sun will be poisoned by corpses? If they are poisoned by corpses, what will their families do? They are the pillars of the family!"
I said, "Don't worry about it, you kid. Director Ding and Xiao Sun are fine."
"Really!" Zhang Chengcai immediately became happy when he heard this.
I cursed in my heart, you kid, don't be sneaky, if that Wufu comes out of the golden coffin later, you will be blamed if it doesn't scare you to death.
Zhang Chengcai asked me again: "Huang Tong, do you want to sleep?"
In fact, I couldn't sleep at all. I used my ears to listen to the wind and discern the position, and I kept observing my surroundings vigilantly. No clues could escape my eyes.
At this time, I suddenly heard a faint voice coming from the golden coffin.
The sound was extremely weak. If I hadn't developed the ability to listen to the wind and distinguish the position, it would be impossible to hear this sound.
There is indeed something evil in the golden coffin, and that Wuju is not dead, but why can't the third child's spiritual power feel it? What is the problem?
The slight sound quickly disappeared, and on the surface, the golden coffin returned to its former calm.
But my mind couldn't calm down for a long time. The small sound just now was extremely sharp and the frequency was extremely high. It is impossible for a human to make such a sound.
What is in this golden coffin?At this time, I began to look forward to it more and more. Before the golden coffin was opened, I would definitely not leave the museum.
"Chengcai, I don't want to sleep. By the way, tell me about the disappearance of your archaeologists?" I said to Zhang Chengcai.
Hearing what I said, Zhang Chengcai sat up suddenly, lit a cigarette, and said, "It's a long story, and it has something to do with the Unforbidden Tomb."
To be honest, I have only heard a little about the disappearance of the archaeological team.The map that Chengcai gave me, I still don't see any tricks, maybe Zhang Chengcai is still hiding something from me.
"Chengcai, the map you gave me doesn't seem to belong to Xichuan!" I asked Zhang Chengcai intentionally or unconsciously.
Zhang Chengcai shook his head and said: "Outsiders may think so, but that map should be from 2000 years ago. There is a historical legend about Xichuan in 2000, which is very consistent with this map."
Hearing this, I was even more horrified, Zhang Chengcai must know some secrets.
Chapter 14 Opening the Casket
Zhang Chengcai took a deep puff of cigarette and said to me: "Huang Tong, do you want to know what kind of historical legend this is?"
When he said this, I immediately became interested and asked: "What's going on, Chengcai, tell me quickly."
Zhang Chengcai said: "It should be said that this is a myth and legend. There is no reference to whether there is such a thing. It is said that a long, long time ago, this place was still in the barbaric era, and various tribes fought with each other. In a hostile tribe, A man and a woman are in love, but in reality, they can't be together, so they want to go to heaven."
This is simply a replica of the modern Romeo and Juliet, but the ending is different in the back.
Zhang Chengcai said: "When they were seeking to go to the sky, suddenly, a giant dragon flew down from the sky. According to legend, that giant dragon had a snake's head and huge wings that could cover the sky."
It has a snake head, has huge wings, and so on, didn't the image of this monster appear on the red coffin?
Of course, Zhang Chengcai did not notice my abnormal situation, he took a deep puff of cigarette and said: "As soon as that monster appeared, disaster befalls the two tribes. The power of Laxiu directly made the two tribes disappear."
There is such a thing, I have a vague feeling that the scene of the warrior fighting the monster on the red coffin should be related to this myth and legend.
"Chengcai, tell me quickly, what happened in the end?" I asked impatiently.
Zhang Chengcai said: "Afterwards, the young couple suffered countless hardships, finally saw the god, borrowed power from the god, and finally sealed the evil dragon, but since then, the young couple disappeared. Some people say that they became immortals in the end, and some people say that they went to a paradise, but the place where they live in seclusion is said to be an island in the middle of a lake, and they can only enter through special channels."
"Island in the middle of the lake..." I muttered to myself, feeling that something was wrong, so I asked, "Chengcai, is the map you gave me the location of the island in the middle of the lake?"
Zhang Chengcai said: "Actually, I am also very puzzled about this matter. In the Wujin Tomb, there are written records about that legend."
At this moment, I became interested, and I asked: "Chengcai, how do you say this, is there anything else you haven't told me?"
Zhang Chengcai said: "I didn't want to talk about this incident. I didn't deliberately hide it from you, but this incident is related to the disappearance of our archaeological team."
Alas, after so many days of investigation, I missed such a big clue. If I didn't live with Zhang Chengcai, I wouldn't have gotten this clue.
"Chengcai, tell me quickly, what's going on?" I asked eagerly.
Zhang Chengcai let out a long sigh. He knew that he couldn't hide it from me right now. He said: "In the Tomb of Wujin, we have obtained some ancient books about the method of entering the island in the middle of the lake. These ancient books are made up of bamboo slips. A lot of places are missing, so we only know a vague bearing."
Zhang Chengcai continued: "Those bamboo slips recorded on the top of the snow-capped mountains, there is a colorful light path leading directly to the island in the center of the lake. Of course, we who are engaged in archaeological research do not believe such claims, but the deputy director of our archaeological team still leads I led three people to look for the colorful light path, hoping to find the legendary island in the middle of the lake, but they all disappeared.”
When Zhang Chengcai said this, I suddenly realized, and at the same time, I also felt that there must be some basis for the things recorded in the unrestricted tomb, and no dead person would write some messy things in his tomb.
"Chengcai, when the work on the golden coffin is over, you and I, together with Chen Yi, the three of us will go to find that colorful passageway?" After thinking for a while, I made a decision.
Zhang Chengcai stopped smoking. He turned around, looked at me carefully, and asked me, "I'm not mistaken, am I asking you, a rich man, to take risks?"
"Why, you don't believe me?" Seeing Cheng Cai's puzzled expression, I asked.
"Chen Yi, a weak woman, would it be risky?" Zhang Chengcai still had doubts.
"Don't you understand Chen Yi's character? She is fearless. I said why you can't catch up with Chen Yi all the time. So that's what happened." I deliberately provoked him.
"Okay, Huang Tong, this is what you said, don't go back on your word when the time comes!" Zhang Chengcai said cruelly.
Just as Zhang Chengcai finished speaking, suddenly, the sharp voice from the golden coffin came back again, and this time the frequency was higher.
Of course, Zhang Chengcai would never be able to detect this sound, including the five armed police soldiers. Although most of them have not fallen asleep, none of them can detect the strange sound coming from the golden coffin.
What the hell is in this golden coffin? Did it make me feel uneasy on the first night? I couldn't help but start scolding my mother.
Seeing that I was quite nervous, Zhang Chengcai thought it was because I was going to Huxin Island. He smiled and said, "Huang Tong, why are you so nervous?"
I shook my head and said to Cheng Cai, "Cheng Cai, there is a problem in the golden coffin."
Hearing what I said, Zhang Chengcai was startled, and his nerves immediately collapsed.
"No, Huang Tong, I didn't hear anything. Are you overly nervous?" Zhang Chengcai said suspiciously. It seemed that he would rather believe something than nothing.
After a while, the noise in the golden coffin disappeared, and everything returned to normal.
Throughout the night, the noise in the golden coffin kept ringing, which kept me up all night.However, fortunately, I have a deep foundation of internal skills, so it is not a big problem even if I don't sleep for a few days.
The next day, the archaeological work continued. All the archaeologists discussed together how to separate the golden coffin from the red coffin. In the end, the result of the discussion was to saw the outer red coffin.
Although this is a practice of destroying cultural relics, modern technology has the conditions to integrate the sawed red coffins together.Besides, the golden coffin inside is the most important thing.
The third child came to the Xizhou City Museum early, and today she was wearing a fiery red cloak, which showed his tight figure, coupled with her full femininity, Chengcai was dumbfounded.
The golden coffin is tightly attached to the red coffin, as if it was tailor-made, so it is very difficult to take out the golden coffin without destroying the red coffin.
Soon, the most talented carpenter in Xizhou City was invited, and the coffin opening work continued.
By the afternoon, the entire red coffin had been sawed open, revealing the golden coffin inside.
