Chapter 47 Hanging Coffin Canyon 19【2 in 1】
After Wu Xiajiu waited for someone to climb up by stepping on long iron nails or logs, Professor Zhao found a hanging coffin that looked old, leaned over to study it, and became obsessed with it after a while.
This position is neither too high nor too short, and if protective measures are taken around it, it is not too dangerous for Professor Zhao.
Wu Xia glanced at it for a long time, then stepped on the hanging coffin with Xiao Fang and Mr. V and continued to climb up.
——There are still many raised stones and scattered gravel on the cliff, so be careful when climbing.
The two of them were not too far away from Wu Xiajiu at this time.
While crawling, Wu Xiajiu whispered to them the location of the hanging coffin marked with key symbols on the sheepskin map.
The positions of those hanging coffins are not low, and they are not too close to each other after zooming in according to the scale on the map.
So soon after, Xiao Fang and Mr. V began to climb in different directions, gradually moving away from the place where Wu Xiajiu was.
Obviously, Wu Xiajiu's physical strength is not as long as the two of them, and he can't climb with bare hands all the time without panting.
Mr. V will not talk about it for now.
But Xiao Fang's physical fitness is so good. Not only does he not look tired at all, but he also seems to be very skilled in climbing up, not inferior to Mr. V at all.
After Wu Xiajiu looked in Xiaofang's direction for a while, he set his eyes on Lu Cheng and the others.
He happened to meet Ah You's eyes.
Ah You put his hand on his waist, and made a subtle gesture to him—indicating Wu Xiajiu to crawl in that direction, and continue the unfinished communication before.
Wu Xiajiu lowered his eyebrows, although he didn't respond, but the direction of climbing up was where Ah You was pointing.
Ah You's speed is obviously very fast, and his body is strong. When he takes a step with his long legs, his body instantly rises up. People use their whole body to climb the cliff, but Ah You comes up like a jump, very relaxed.
Wu Xiajiu couldn't help but look at it several times, admiring Ah You's physical strength.
After a while, Ah You came to Wu Xiajiu's side.
At this moment, Wu Xiajiu was resting on a hanging coffin. Seeing that Ah You came up without any effort, he said, "Just now we were talking on the bank of the river. Didn't Lu Cheng and the others ask you what we were talking about?" ?”
"Now that you don't shy away from coming here, aren't you afraid of Lu Cheng's suspicion?"
The direction in which Ah You climbed is obvious.
Lu Cheng, Laohou, and Sanma are not blind, so they can naturally find out, just now they glanced twice.
Hearing this, Ah You laughed lightly and said, "There was indeed an inquiry, but I just found an excuse to deal with it. After all, no matter what I answered, they would be suspicious and wouldn't trust me."
"Since this is the case, why should I keep taboo and be more blatant, maybe things will be more beneficial to me."
Wu Xia didn't comment for a long time, and only said: "We are indeed looking for people when we come to the Xun clan, and you are indeed looking for something when you come here, but this thing should not be what you need, it must be Lu Cheng."
"Is there something wrong with him? Cancer? What are you looking for to cure him?"
Although they kept asking questions in a questioning tone, Wu Xiajiu's expression was affirmative.
He looked at Ah You, observed his expression carefully, and waited for his answer.
Ah You's expression remained unchanged, and he said, "Could it be that Lu Cheng's face is already full of sickness? Why do you think so?"
Wu Xiajiu: "He doesn't have a sick face, but doesn't he look sick?"
"Anyone with eyes may be able to see that he has been coughing, and is anxious and anxious, and his mental state is extremely unstable."
"Qian Quanming, he came to the Xun clan to look for things, either for money or life, but if it was for money, he couldn't be in such a hurry, what do you think?"
Ah You stared at Wu Xiajiu for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled and said, "I said, you are right, absolutely right."
"Lu Cheng is indeed suffering from cancer. With the current medical technology, he can't be cured. He doesn't have much time to live. If no effective treatment is found, he will die."
"But people like Lu Cheng are unwilling and don't want to die. Later, he accidentally learned that there is something in the Xun tribe that might cure his disease, so he came here."
"And I happen to have news of that thing in my hand."
"So, he had to take me with him to find the Xun clan and find that thing to treat the disease. You see, I came here under no choice. I am a victim."
Ah You stepped on the wooden stick supporting the hanging coffin with both feet, and leaned against the cliff with a relaxed posture.
At the end, he also helplessly spread his hands to Wu Xiajiu.
Wu Xiajiu looked at him quietly, and waited for him to finish speaking before saying: "That thing must be very important to the Xun people. It is not easy for you to get it."
Ah You: "You're right, do you want to know what that thing is?"
Wu Xiajiu: "What do you want in exchange?"
There is no free lunch in the world, if there must be one, it would be rotten.
In the same way, Ah You couldn't tell him without any conditions.
Ah You said: "I just like to deal with smart people, and it doesn't take much effort to talk."
"The river in the Xun Valley has obviously become very dangerous at night."
"During the day, the Xun people are forbidden to take a step closer. Not only us foreigners, but also the Xun people themselves. The patriarch even sends people to watch there all the time."
"Tell me, the first time you went out at night, what did you see at the end of that river? Does the river flow out of the valley?"
There is often wind blowing in the Tianxuan Canyon, so one must be extremely careful when standing on the cliff. If you are not careful, you may be swayed by the wind.
The positions of Wu Xiajiu and Ah You are not low.
Looking up, there is still a long distance from the top of the cliff, and you can only see it when you look up. Looking down, there is another frightening height below. Both Tao Bin and Soy Sauce have become slightly smaller.
The river kept beating against the side of the cliff, stirring up white waves.
Wu Xiajiu looked at Ah You and said, "Exchange the previous content first. I'll tell you what clues there are on this cliff. Tell me what you saw when you went out last night."
"can."
Wu Xiajiu: "Since it is your request, it is natural that you should say it first."
Ayou has no comment.
He said: "The Xun people are making some preparations before the sacrifice. They want to sacrifice to the river god, and they have to complete the sacrifice before the end of the dry season."
"Otherwise, when the flood season arrives, the water in Tianxuan Canyon will flood into the valley and submerge them all."
"This kind of sacrificial preparation is the same every year."
"And now there are still ten days before the end of the drought period. Once the ten days arrive, a very strange scene will occur in the Tianxuan Grand Canyon."
"During this day, the river will suddenly recede, the riverbed will be exposed, and all creatures in the river will suffer for a while to survive, but soon, it won't take long, and the flood season will come."
"If the preparations for offering sacrifices to the river god are not completed in advance, the flood will rush in and sweep everything, including the valley where the Xun people live."
"In other words, there is the end of being submerged."
ten days...
Wu Xiajiu couldn't help thinking, ten days happened to be their last day in the world under the car.
Furthermore, offering sacrifices to the river god, what is the river god?Does it really exist?
The Xun people used to be strong and powerful, and the reason why they were invincible in every battle has something to do with this river god?
Wu Xiajiu couldn't help frowning and asked: "If the preparations for the sacrifice are not completed, and the valley will be submerged when the flood season comes, why do the Xun people still live here for generations?"
"Is there any reason why they have to be here?"
Although it was a question, Wu Xiajiu actually had some thoughts in his mind.
——The reason why the Xun people stayed here was probably related to that strange disease, and he couldn't help but think of the Xun people who had fish scales on their bodies.
Sure enough, Ah You said: "Of course there are. Every Xun tribe suffers from strange diseases, and what they rely on to survive is what Lu Cheng wants to find."
"Last night, in addition to preparing for the sacrifice, I also saw them dragging two cages to the river, and then throwing the cages far into the river. The Xun people did not dare to approach at all."
"There's nothing important to do after that, so I'll be back."
"Oh, by the way, I guess the condition for the Xun people to sacrifice to the river god is to sacrifice a living person."
"And the sacrifice is coming, they should attack us, remember to tell your companions to be careful recently, otherwise, if you don't pay attention, you will die."
Ah's right index finger and middle finger were brought together, and they were drawn horizontally in front of the neck.
After he finished speaking, Wu Xiajiu nodded and said, "We found a whole sheepskin map in the house of the chief of the Xun clan. On it..."
Wu Xia talked for a long time, then pointed to the direction above his head and said: "Continue climbing to the cliff, the sixth hanging coffin from the top is one of those hanging coffins that have been highlighted."
"Then, the second exchange is complete."
"the second?"
Wu Xiajiu: "The first exchange is the purpose of both of us coming to the Xun tribe."
"The third exchange, tell me, what is that thing and where is it hidden, I don't believe you don't know."
Wu Xiajiu leaned closer and whispered, "I guess you know, but you just didn't tell Lu Cheng."
Ayou, this person, sometimes hides a lot of bad intentions.
Although he didn't explain it, Wu Xiajiu had an intuition—Ayou knew where the thing was hidden.
Hearing this, Ah You didn't deny it, she just raised her eyebrows and said: "But if I say everything, it will be a disadvantage."
Wu Xiajiu: "The scene at the end of the valley and the river is more important. I believe you will know how to choose wisely. Our exchange is a win-win situation. Why should we suffer a loss?"
Ah You: "You are very good at persuading others."
"Because I'm right."
Ah You chuckled, changed his posture and continued to lean against the cliff, the wind blew his hair on his forehead, and the tail slightly lifted his left eye wearing a black blindfold.
He said: "Indeed, then let me tell you that every Xun tribe has a strange disease, which has been present since birth. It is more accurate to say it is a curse than a strange disease."
"This curse will make them usually not live to be 40 years old, and even die prematurely and painfully."
"And the way to treat this strange disease, or to delay the curse, is to take a holy pill regularly, which is what the Xun people call it."
"And this holy pill can prolong their lifespan. I think you should be familiar with this strange disease."
Wu Xiajiu nodded, and said: "The body gradually grows fish scales, breathing is difficult, and then turns into a monster, and finally suffocates to death."
"That's right." Ah You said, "The Holy Pill is made of some very special materials, one of which is the unique Ranunculus flower here."
It turned out to be the flower.
Wu Xiajiu couldn't help opening his eyes.
Ah You continued: "I do know where the Holy Pill is hidden."
"Do you know the difference between the hanging coffin outside the valley and the inside of the valley? Could it be that no matter how hard you search, you can't find the way to the top of the cliff?"
"Whether it's here in Tianxuan Canyon or in the valley, there is no road above this cliff."
"But the hanging coffins outside the valley are remnants of historical wars, while the hanging coffins inside the valley are just a deception."
Ah You leaned forward slightly, his voice seemed to drift into the ears of Wu Xiajiu with the wind.
He looked at Wu Xiajiu and frowned in thought, and said softly: "The hanging coffin in the valley has a passage leading to the belly of the mountain. There are stone chambers excavated by someone in the mountain, and the holy pill is placed in one of the stone chambers."
"However, some Xun people whose bodies have begun to grow covered with fish scales and who can no longer appear in front of people are also among them, and there are special people guarding them."
"After those Xun people completely lose their minds and become monsters that look like humans but not humans, and fish and not fish, they will be dealt with, and you know how to deal with them."
"Before this, these Xun people who already have many fish scales on their bodies will become very aggressive, bloodthirsty and manic, unless they are chained."
"Wait until they finally have trouble breathing and their bodies are weak, they will untie them, take them away and throw them away."
Wu Xia heard the words for a long time, looked at Ah You, and said, "Have you ever gone in?"
Otherwise, why do you know so clearly.
Ah You didn't deny it, only thought it was time for Wu Xia to tell the scene at the end of the river.
Wu Xia didn't hide it for a long time, and told Ah You.
"The deep pool in the fjord..." Ah You crossed his arms and thought about it, and after a while, he said, "You mean that this waterway can also lead to there?"
"Ah."
Ah You: "Is it possible that the stone passage dug from the mountainside can also lead to the fjord?"
"I haven't been there, so I can't be sure." Wu Xiajiu said.
But very likely.
Knowing so much news, Wu Xiajiu had some general ideas in his mind.
The time they communicated here was not too short. Looking up, Xiao Fang and Mr. V had already climbed to a very high distance.
Xiao Fang took the lead in finding the key hanging coffin location mentioned by Wu Xiajiu, and Mr. V was about to climb to another location.
Wu Xiajiu looked to the side of the cliff again.
——Lu Cheng, Lao Hou and San Ma's speed is not inferior to them at all, and even because of their rich experience, they have a tendency to catch up later.
In this area, there are many hanging coffins marked by key symbols, but there are more ordinary hanging coffins. I just don't know if Lu Cheng and the other three were lucky enough to meet them.
After thinking about it, Wu Xia took a long look at Ah You, and the two of them rested here enough and began to climb up.
At this time, after a little attention, Wu Xiajiu discovered that the materials of the hanging coffins placed on the cliff are different. Some are wooden coffins, while others are iron coffins and sarcophagi.
But from the outside, the surface of these hanging coffins has been smeared with a special layer of paint, making the color dark and similar.
If you look at it from a distance or don't pay attention to it, it is easy to ignore the past.
On the other side, Lao Hou withdrew his gaze from Wu Xiajiu and Ah You, and said, "Boss, what do you think Brother You and him are talking about? Why did they talk for so long...Brother You is really Are you talking to him?"
Lu Cheng sneered when he heard the words: "Do you believe what he said just now? How can you help me? It has been a few days since he entered the Xun clan. What has he done?"
"I think he not only doesn't want to help me, but also plans to find a way out."
As for what the back road is, it is obvious.
Sanma said: "Boss, don't worry, if he dares to betray you, I will be the first to attack him, and I will never let him go."
The three of them climbed up while talking.
Lao Hou sneered: "You have to beat him too, don't let him attack you first."
Sanma: "Brother Hou, you can't beat him, but it doesn't mean I can't beat him either."
"Hey, you..."
Seeing Sanma bring up the topic of being beaten when he first provoked Ayou, Lao Hou became anxious and felt ashamed.
However, he was also climbing the cliff, and when he didn't pay attention, he slipped down without noticing his feet, and his body tilted to the side.
"Brother Hou!" Sanma was the closest to him, and when she saw this, she hurriedly gave her a hand.
But Lao Hou still fell heavily on a hanging coffin.
With a "bang", he happened to lie on the lid of the hanging coffin. The hanging coffin is made of wood. Because of its long existence and disrepair over the years, the wood has become very fragile.
When Lao Hou lay down, his elbow just broke through a gap, and the wooden strip split and fell into the coffin.
Lao Hou looked into the coffin lid with a gap in it, and instantly exclaimed "Ah——".
This sound was loud, and immediately attracted other people to follow the sound, thinking that something happened.
Lu Cheng frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lao Hou got up with his arms propped up, sat on the hanging coffin, and stammered, "No, it's nothing, it's just that I was suddenly frightened by the corpse inside the coffin."
He pointed to the gap and said, "Boss, if I'm not wrong, the corpse in this hanging coffin should have been pistoned alive before being alive, and then the coffin was sealed and transported here."
"This person was starved to death and suffocated to death in the coffin, so the appearance of the person before he died was frozen, which is very terrifying..."
He happened to meet the corpse's eyes just now.
Eh? !
No, how long has this hanging coffin existed?Why are the corpses inside still so well preserved?
Lao Hou said it.
Lu Cheng touched the hanging coffin beside him, and said: "It should be the effect of the paint. Almost all the hanging coffins on this cliff have been painted with this special paint, which is enough to save money."
"These hanging coffins are definitely not simple. Show me where those people climbed. We also climbed to the same height."
"Okay, boss." Laohou and Sanma responded.
Wu Xiajiu looked back at Lu Cheng and the others, thinking that Laohou must have been frightened by the dead people in the coffin.
The distance was too far, and he couldn't hear the conversations of those people, so he didn't pay much attention.
Finally, Wu Xiajiu and Ayou climbed to a key marked hanging coffin.
As soon as he got close, he realized something was wrong.
Because this hanging coffin feels very big and heavy. The coffin is made of wood, but it looks a little weird.
Wu Xiajiu couldn't help frowning, he leaned close to the cliff and stepped on the wood supporting the hanging coffin—after a long period of wind and rain, the wood was slightly loose on the cliff, making a "squeak" One sound.
Wu Xiajiu found a place to tie the rope, then stepped to one side of the hanging coffin, leaned over and knocked, and a very dull sound came out immediately.
Ah You landed on the other side of the hanging coffin, stretched out his hand to touch the hanging coffin, then raised an eyebrow and said, "This is a shell."
"Shell? What do you mean?" Wu Xiajiu asked.
Ah You explained: "It means that the original coffin is covered with a layer of material for camouflage. This hanging coffin is not made of wood, and there is actually another mystery inside."
As Ah You said, he drew a dagger from behind his waist.
Immediately, he found the joint of the hanging coffin and opened it.
After a while, Wu Xiajiu heard the sound of "creaking" from the wood outside, and saw that the coffin lid was pried up with a wooden strip used for camouflage, revealing the real appearance inside.
"Gold? Is this a golden coffin?" Wu Xiajiu opened his eyes and asked in surprise.
"It looks like, yes." Ah You said.
Underneath the wooden strips is a brilliant golden color, which is fairly well preserved, without any damage at all, and people can clearly tell that it is gold at a glance.
So, this whole hanging coffin is made of gold?
If this hanging coffin is made of gold, what about the other hanging coffins marked with accented symbols?
Are they also golden coffins?
Thinking about it this way... I'm afraid that the treasures obtained by the entire Xun clan in battles may have been melted into gold and made into hanging coffins.
Then it was blatantly "hidden" on the cliff of Tianxuan Canyon, and there were thousands of hanging coffins among them. Who would be able to tell where the hanging coffin made of gold was placed? Location.
Even if he got the sheepskin map, it would take some time to find it, and it would be even more impossible to get the gold.
Therefore, it became a brilliant idea for the Xun people to make all their treasures into coffins.
Wu Xiajiu couldn't help feeling emotional at this moment.
If you have money, just put it aside and watch it. If you don’t need it, you live by fishing and plowing the land every year, every month, every day, and you have persisted in this way for generations.
However, even if they found the treasure of the Xun people, these money and other things are of no use to them.
Money is in front of life, it is not important at all.
Not to mention, they couldn't take the gold with them.
This thread is useless.
Wu Xiajiu thought in his heart, what a waste of time he climbed so high and for so long...
He couldn't help raising his head to look in Xiao Fang's direction.
Xiao Fang should have finished inspecting the hanging coffin and was sitting on it swinging his legs. Seeing Wu Xia looking over for a long time, he narrowed his green eyes and smiled, stretched out the thumb, index finger and middle finger of his left hand and rubbed them Finger asking for money gesture.
Then, he pointed to the hanging coffin under him.
Wu Xiajiu understood what he meant and nodded.
Apparently, the same is true on Mr. V's side.
This position is neither too high nor too short, and if protective measures are taken around it, it is not too dangerous for Professor Zhao.
Wu Xia glanced at it for a long time, then stepped on the hanging coffin with Xiao Fang and Mr. V and continued to climb up.
——There are still many raised stones and scattered gravel on the cliff, so be careful when climbing.
The two of them were not too far away from Wu Xiajiu at this time.
While crawling, Wu Xiajiu whispered to them the location of the hanging coffin marked with key symbols on the sheepskin map.
The positions of those hanging coffins are not low, and they are not too close to each other after zooming in according to the scale on the map.

Mr. V will not talk about it for now.
But Xiao Fang's physical fitness is so good. Not only does he not look tired at all, but he also seems to be very skilled in climbing up, not inferior to Mr. V at all.

"This curse will make them usually not live to be 40 years old, and even die prematurely and painfully."
"And the way to treat this strange disease, or to delay the curse, is to take a holy pill regularly, which is what the Xun people call it."
"And this holy pill can prolong their lifespan. I think you should be familiar with this strange disease."
Wu Xiajiu nodded, and said: "The body gradually grows fish scales, breathing is difficult, and then turns into a monster, and finally suffocates to death."
"That's right." Ah You said, "The Holy Pill is made of some very special materials, one of which is the unique Ranunculus flower here."
It turned out to be the flower.
Wu Xiajiu couldn't help opening his eyes.
Ah You continued: "I do know where the Holy Pill is hidden."
"Do you know the difference between the hanging coffin outside the valley and the inside of the valley? Could it be that no matter how hard you search, you can't find the way to the top of the cliff?"
"Whether it's here in Tianxuan Canyon or in the valley, there is no road above this cliff."
"But the hanging coffins outside the valley are remnants of historical wars, while the hanging coffins inside the valley are just a deception."
Ah You leaned forward slightly, his voice seemed to drift into the ears of Wu Xiajiu with the wind.
He looked at Wu Xiajiu and frowned in thought, and said softly: "The hanging coffin in the valley has a passage leading to the belly of the mountain. There are stone chambers excavated by someone in the mountain, and the holy pill is placed in one of the stone chambers."
"However, some Xun people whose bodies have begun to grow covered with fish scales and who can no longer appear in front of people are also among them, and there are special people guarding them."
"After those Xun people completely lose their minds and become monsters that look like humans but not humans, and fish and not fish, they will be dealt with, and you know how to deal with them."
"Before this, these Xun people who already have many fish scales on their bodies will become very aggressive, bloodthirsty and manic, unless they are chained."
"Wait until they finally have trouble breathing and their bodies are weak, they will untie them, take them away and throw them away."
Wu Xia heard the words for a long time, looked at Ah You, and said, "Have you ever gone in?"
Otherwise, why do you know so clearly.
Ah You didn't deny it, only thought it was time for Wu Xia to tell the scene at the end of the river.
Wu Xia didn't hide it for a long time, and told Ah You.
"The deep pool in the fjord..." Ah You crossed his arms and thought about it, and after a while, he said, "You mean that this waterway can also lead to there?"
"Ah."
Ah You: "Is it possible that the stone passage dug from the mountainside can also lead to the fjord?"
"I haven't been there, so I can't be sure." Wu Xiajiu said.
But very likely.
Knowing so much news, Wu Xiajiu had some general ideas in his mind.
The time they communicated here was not too short. Looking up, Xiao Fang and Mr. V had already climbed to a very high distance.
Xiao Fang took the lead in finding the key hanging coffin location mentioned by Wu Xiajiu, and Mr. V was about to climb to another location.
Wu Xiajiu looked to the side of the cliff again.
——Lu Cheng, Lao Hou and San Ma's speed is not inferior to them at all, and even because of their rich experience, they have a tendency to catch up later.
In this area, there are many hanging coffins marked by key symbols, but there are more ordinary hanging coffins. I just don't know if Lu Cheng and the other three were lucky enough to meet them.
After thinking about it, Wu Xia took a long look at Ah You, and the two of them rested here enough and began to climb up.
At this time, after a little attention, Wu Xiajiu discovered that the materials of the hanging coffins placed on the cliff are different. Some are wooden coffins, while others are iron coffins and sarcophagi.
But from the outside, the surface of these hanging coffins has been smeared with a special layer of paint, making the color dark and similar.
If you look at it from a distance or don't pay attention to it, it is easy to ignore the past.
On the other side, Lao Hou withdrew his gaze from Wu Xiajiu and Ah You, and said, "Boss, what do you think Brother You and him are talking about? Why did they talk for so long...Brother You is really Are you talking to him?"
Lu Cheng sneered when he heard the words: "Do you believe what he said just now? How can you help me? It has been a few days since he entered the Xun clan. What has he done?"
"I think he not only doesn't want to help me, but also plans to find a way out."
As for what the back road is, it is obvious.
Sanma said: "Boss, don't worry, if he dares to betray you, I will be the first to attack him, and I will never let him go."
The three of them climbed up while talking.
Lao Hou sneered: "You have to beat him too, don't let him attack you first."
Sanma: "Brother Hou, you can't beat him, but it doesn't mean I can't beat him either."
"Hey, you..."
Seeing Sanma bring up the topic of being beaten when he first provoked Ayou, Lao Hou became anxious and felt ashamed.
However, he was also climbing the cliff, and when he didn't pay attention, he slipped down without noticing his feet, and his body tilted to the side.
"Brother Hou!" Sanma was the closest to him, and when she saw this, she hurriedly gave her a hand.
But Lao Hou still fell heavily on a hanging coffin.
With a "bang", he happened to lie on the lid of the hanging coffin. The hanging coffin is made of wood. Because of its long existence and disrepair over the years, the wood has become very fragile.
When Lao Hou lay down, his elbow just broke through a gap, and the wooden strip split and fell into the coffin.
Lao Hou looked into the coffin lid with a gap in it, and instantly exclaimed "Ah——".
This sound was loud, and immediately attracted other people to follow the sound, thinking that something happened.
Lu Cheng frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lao Hou got up with his arms propped up, sat on the hanging coffin, and stammered, "No, it's nothing, it's just that I was suddenly frightened by the corpse inside the coffin."
He pointed to the gap and said, "Boss, if I'm not wrong, the corpse in this hanging coffin should have been pistoned alive before being alive, and then the coffin was sealed and transported here."
"This person was starved to death and suffocated to death in the coffin, so the appearance of the person before he died was frozen, which is very terrifying..."
He happened to meet the corpse's eyes just now.
Eh? !
No, how long has this hanging coffin existed?Why are the corpses inside still so well preserved?
Lao Hou said it.
Lu Cheng touched the hanging coffin beside him, and said: "It should be the effect of the paint. Almost all the hanging coffins on this cliff have been painted with this special paint, which is enough to save money."
"These hanging coffins are definitely not simple. Show me where those people climbed. We also climbed to the same height."
"Okay, boss." Laohou and Sanma responded.
Wu Xiajiu looked back at Lu Cheng and the others, thinking that Laohou must have been frightened by the dead people in the coffin.
The distance was too far, and he couldn't hear the conversations of those people, so he didn't pay much attention.
Finally, Wu Xiajiu and Ayou climbed to a key marked hanging coffin.
As soon as he got close, he realized something was wrong.
Because this hanging coffin feels very big and heavy. The coffin is made of wood, but it looks a little weird.
Wu Xiajiu couldn't help frowning, he leaned close to the cliff and stepped on the wood supporting the hanging coffin—after a long period of wind and rain, the wood was slightly loose on the cliff, making a "squeak" One sound.
Wu Xiajiu found a place to tie the rope, then stepped to one side of the hanging coffin, leaned over and knocked, and a very dull sound came out immediately.
Ah You landed on the other side of the hanging coffin, stretched out his hand to touch the hanging coffin, then raised an eyebrow and said, "This is a shell."
"Shell? What do you mean?" Wu Xiajiu asked.
Ah You explained: "It means that the original coffin is covered with a layer of material for camouflage. This hanging coffin is not made of wood, and there is actually another mystery inside."
As Ah You said, he drew a dagger from behind his waist.
Immediately, he found the joint of the hanging coffin and opened it.
After a while, Wu Xiajiu heard the sound of "creaking" from the wood outside, and saw that the coffin lid was pried up with a wooden strip used for camouflage, revealing the real appearance inside.
"Gold? Is this a golden coffin?" Wu Xiajiu opened his eyes and asked in surprise.
"It looks like, yes." Ah You said.
Underneath the wooden strips is a brilliant golden color, which is fairly well preserved, without any damage at all, and people can clearly tell that it is gold at a glance.
So, this whole hanging coffin is made of gold?
If this hanging coffin is made of gold, what about the other hanging coffins marked with accented symbols?
Are they also golden coffins?
Thinking about it this way... I'm afraid that the treasures obtained by the entire Xun clan in battles may have been melted into gold and made into hanging coffins.
Then it was blatantly "hidden" on the cliff of Tianxuan Canyon, and there were thousands of hanging coffins among them. Who would be able to tell where the hanging coffin made of gold was placed? Location.
Even if he got the sheepskin map, it would take some time to find it, and it would be even more impossible to get the gold.
Therefore, it became a brilliant idea for the Xun people to make all their treasures into coffins.
Wu Xiajiu couldn't help feeling emotional at this moment.
If you have money, just put it aside and watch it. If you don’t need it, you live by fishing and plowing the land every year, every month, every day, and you have persisted in this way for generations.
However, even if they found the treasure of the Xun people, these money and other things are of no use to them.
Money is in front of life, it is not important at all.
Not to mention, they couldn't take the gold with them.
This thread is useless.
Wu Xiajiu thought in his heart, what a waste of time he climbed so high and for so long...
He couldn't help raising his head to look in Xiao Fang's direction.
Xiao Fang should have finished inspecting the hanging coffin and was sitting on it swinging his legs. Seeing Wu Xia looking over for a long time, he narrowed his green eyes and smiled, stretched out the thumb, index finger and middle finger of his left hand and rubbed them Finger asking for money gesture.
Then, he pointed to the hanging coffin under him.
Wu Xiajiu understood what he meant and nodded.
Apparently, the same is true on Mr. V's side.
