Taoyuan Xianzhuang

Chapter 213 Mummy
Walking to the front of the coffin, Yang Xiao took courage, raised his breath, and stretched his head to take a look inside.

The flashlight was in Dalei's mouth. Its height could not illuminate the inside of the coffin, but the light could be refracted on the metal. When it shone into the inside of the coffin, it was already very weak, almost like nothing, but it still allowed Yang Xiao to see clearly. The whole picture of the coffin.

Inside the coffin lay a mummy.

Not skeletons!

It's a mummy!
The skeleton is different from the mummy, the skeleton is dry bones, while the mummy is shiny, the skeleton is white, and the mummy is black, as if the bone is covered with a layer of skin.There is also a small amount of hair attached to the head.

A burst of stench penetrated into the nostrils, Yang Xiao squeezed the mask tightly, and quickly pushed the coffin lid on.

So disgusting, so creepy!

Yang Xiao's scalp was numb, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

If this is really an ancient tomb hundreds of years ago, then the people here should have turned into skeletons, right?

The state of the mummy should be before the skeleton, right?

After a person dies, first the stench, then the skin rots, and finally the skeleton.

The formation of mummy is between decay and skeleton. If there is no human intervention, then there will be mummy after decay, and skeleton after mummy.

Temperature, air can slow down the decay of the corpse.

But no matter how slow it is, hundreds of years are enough to become a skeleton, right?
Out of curiosity, Yang Xiao couldn't help pushing away a coffin next to him. As he thought, there was a skeleton lying in that coffin.

Why is there a mummy here and a skeleton over there?

Yang Xiao pushed away a few more coffins, and found that the ones lying inside were all skeletons, but the one in this coffin was a mummified corpse!

"Could it be that the coffin lid was not closed?"

Frowning, Yang Xiao took a breath, and said to himself: "No, if it's not covered, isn't it easier for air to enter? Isn't it faster to rot?"

Why is this coffin half open?Shouldn't all the coffins be covered before the tomb was sealed?
After much deliberation, only one conclusion can be drawn.

Someone has been here before!

And in this opened coffin, the person who died may not be the owner of the tomb, but the "grave robber" who entered the tomb later!
But so what?

Yang Xiao counted, a total of twenty coffins were dropped in the air, but there were only seventeen skeletons at the scene, including the mummy, there were eighteen corpses in total.

After looking around, Yang Xiao didn't find any other skeletons, but instead found a lot of copper coins.

There is a stone gate directly in front of it, but it is also half open, which makes Yang Xiao even more convinced that someone has visited this tomb.

It might have been decades or a hundred years ago. In short, in Yang Xiao's impression, no strangers have ever entered the village, and there are no old people in the village who know how to rob graves or make a living by robbing tombs.

Yang Xiao got in through the gap beside the stone gate and came to the next tomb.

This should be the main tomb in the rumors. This tomb is much larger than the one just now, and the flashlight can't find the end.

And after entering this tomb, there is a row of stone steps going down. The stone steps are about eight meters wide, 30 meters long, and the vertical height is about 20 meters.

This is equivalent to raising the height of the main tomb.

In the tomb just now, although the coffins were hung in the air, because the ceiling of the tomb was not high, those coffins could only reach Yang Xiao's chest.

And in this main tomb, those coffins can be called truly hanging in the "air"!
Yang Xiao's flashlight pointed upwards, and saw that the top of the large and flat tomb was covered with iron coffins, arranged in a strange formation. At first glance, it looked like the Big Dipper, or a certain constellation, full of mystery!
Yang Xiao couldn't see the end, so she couldn't count how many coffins there were. The owner of this tomb must have been a high-ranking official before his death, otherwise so many people wouldn't have been buried with him!
But, why is the coffin hanging on it?
After walking tens of meters forward, Yang Xiao seemed to have come to the center of the main tomb. When he looked up, there was a huge "ding" hanging above his head.

It was a strange-shaped coffin, hanging upside down on three legs, with the mouth of the tripod facing down, suspended from the top wall by an iron pillar, surrounded by eight iron cables, like a giant spider!

Jinding!

"It's the golden tripod hanging from the sky!"

Da Lei's voice suddenly sounded in Yang Xiao's heart.

Yang Xiao looked at him curiously, and said, "What? What hanging coffin?"

Da Lei said: "It is said that if the owner of the tomb has done bad things in his life, and he is afraid of going to hell after death, he will hang the coffin in the air to avoid contact with the 'earth energy', and arrange them in a 'nine-nine' formation. The ancients called "Nine" as "Yang", so Jiujiu Chongyang, Yang is fire, Jiujiu fire hangs in the sky, burns the golden tripod, the owner of the tomb repents and punishes himself, and sincerely repents, so as to avoid the calamity of hell. "

After hearing this, Yang Xiao shook her head and smiled, disapprovingly, and said: "This is all superstition. If you are really afraid of contacting the 'earth energy', wouldn't it be better not to sell it underground? Don't forget, there is still a tomb above the tomb. Soil, that’s also the ground! Besides, if we knew today, why bother? What’s the use of not doing good deeds in life and only coming to repent after death?”

call……

clack clack...

Bang!
boom--

As soon as Yang Xiao finished speaking, a strange wind suddenly blew from the entrance of the tomb, and the crackling of the iron chain above him was heard, and then the iron chain on the iron coffin above Yang Xiao's head suddenly broke, and it was thrown straight at Yang Xiao. Come!
The iron coffin weighed at least a thousand catties, if it was hit, even a cow would be killed on the spot!
"Master, be careful!" Da Lei exclaimed.

At the same time as Da Lei exclaimed, Yang Xiao made a countermeasure, a donkey rolled forward and avoided the catastrophe!
With a loud noise, the iron coffin fell to the ground, and dust was flying everywhere.

Da Lei, Xiao Lei and Xiao Huang stood by Yang Xiao's side.

One person and three beasts stared at the iron coffin that fell down strangely, Xiao Huang said in shock: "Master, you can't talk like that, you have angered the tomb owner!"

Da Lei said: "That's right, master, there are gods and evil spirits up three feet above your head. In this kind of place, you must not be open-minded."

Yang Xiao was terrified, he didn't believe this kind of thing at first, but the facts were right in front of him, he had to believe it if he didn't believe it!
Yang Xiao looked towards the entrance of the tomb, where it was connected to the outside world, and it was not impossible for the wind to come.

However, it can't be such a coincidence!

Just when Yang Xiao finished speaking, the wind came?

As luck would have it, the wind just broke the rusty chain.What's more unfortunate is that what broke was the iron coffin facing Yang Xiao's head.

A coincidence is a coincidence, and these three coincidences added together are a bit too mysterious.

Yang Xiao clasped his hands together, bowed to the golden cauldron above, and said, "Senior, I'm young and ignorant, don't blame me!"
