Chapter 48: The Cold Corpse Bed

The wolf totem corpse sculpture was scraped by Wushuang, and only a thin layer of paste was left. He kicked it down. The clay sculpture fell to the ground with a snap and fell to pieces. The corpse wrapped inside was also broken, with his armor and the dry mud outside his body scattered everywhere on the ground.

"You! What are you doing? This is a national treasure!"

Wushuang ignored her and looked for something carefully. Finally, he found the thing under a few pieces of silver armor. It was a copper key. The copper key was very large or herringbone, with a layer of black substance on the surface, which was painted by the Khitans. If there was a black key hidden in this corpse carving, what about the other one?

Wushuang jumped up again as he did, and kicked the second corpse eagle down. This time he saw clearly that the second key was hidden in the corpse eagle's body. In other words, the corpse had been dealt with before his death. His chest was completely abandoned, and it looked like he had swallowed the key, right in his belly. If Wushuang was not the experienced tomb robber, ordinary people would definitely not pay attention to these details.

Needless to say, the second key is white. Is this black and white key used to open the entrance to the real ancient tomb?

Wushuang held two copper keys in his hand. The paint on the surface of the key had already decayed, revealing the copper rust below. The key was very big, and each one was as big as a palm of a person.

"You are such a lunatic. Do you know that you have damaged the cultural relics!"

"The important cultural relics are or the real entrance to the Khitan ancient tombs? If you want your classmates to live, continue to follow me! If you like to continue to stumble with me, then you can get out of here as soon as possible!" Wushuang had had enough of her nagging. Why did this girl's mouth never end since she got down? She was not very capable and her mouth was damaged enough. Who did she provoke whom? God sent such a master to trouble herself.

Although I had heard Professor Monalou describe the size of the main tomb, Wushuang still felt a little incredible when I saw it with my own eyes. Professor Monalou said that this small Khitan ancient tomb was indeed built according to the emperor's specifications, but it was too small. After passing through two corpse carvings and wolf totems, you can see a low tomb door. The tomb door was made of golden thread tied with golden nanmu. However, over the years, the tomb door has been tilted aside, and there are no padlocks on the tomb door, and it is open and open as if we welcome tomb robbers to visit.

The tomb door is a dark tomb chamber. The tomb chamber is not big, just a space of more than 40 meters square. Because the archaeological team had dug in a few days ago, they cleaned up all the silt and thick dust that had accumulated over the past few hundred years, and hung a few lights at the top of the tomb chamber, and the lights were extremely dim.

As soon as they came in, there was a strange wind coming from where the light bulbs blew over their heads, shaking the shadows of Wushuang and Chu Tianyue, as if they were as terrifying as the ghosts of hell.

The ground of the tomb chamber showed a large and small outline. Judging from these outlines, the left and right of the coffin bed should have been filled with burial objects when it was dug in. Because the burial objects had been cleared out, a layer of lime was sprinkled by the archaeological team, so the preservation here was very well preserved.

Now there is only a cold coffin bed left in the small tomb chamber. It is conceivable how surprised Professor Monalou and his students would look when they saw the human-shaped outlined gold-thread jade clothes lying on the coffin bed.

"Look, it's so big, nothing is gone. I don't believe you can find the second tomb passage here." Chu Tianyue was skeptical about Wushuang's ability.

Wushuang searched carefully along the four walls of the tomb passage as big as a palm. This Khitan ancient tomb is not quite the same as the ancient tombs he had seen before. There were no tomb paintings or eternal lamps on the four walls. They were all made of stone slabs. Wushuang knocked here and there, and the echoed sound was very crisp, which means there was no second mezzanine inside.

Strange, what are the two keys used for? I absolutely cannot make a mistake in the judgment. This is a situation in the tombs of ethnic minorities in the north. Because of this, the ancestors did not dare to easily touch the ancient tombs of the Hu people in the north.

"Have you cleared the tomb wall?" Wushuang asked her.

"No, we were empty when we came in. You don't have to watch it anymore, there will definitely be no mezzanine." She was very excited to see Wushuang's joke.

Now the entire tomb is empty, leaving only the coffin bed in the middle spread out there. Wushuang walked around the coffin bed for a few times, and finally stepped on it.

"Hey! What are you going to do?" He was frightened and thought he was going to smash the coffin bed again.

Wushuang didn't say anything, but lay straight on top.

"Are you crazy? This is unlucky, this is a dead person sleeping, and the yin energy is too heavy!" Not to mention that Chu Tianyue doesn't care about Wushuang's life or death, she is really unambiguous in the key issue.

"Don't you believe in the sayings of ghosts and gods?" Wushuang asked her.

"This is different from the saying of ghosts and gods. Why do living people lie on the bed of dead people's coffin? This bed is too cold, so you should get up." Chu Tianyue was unwilling to admit this fact. In fact, in this environment, how could there be any absolute atheist?

Fundamentally speaking, the Chinese people’s awe of the dead is the simplest superstition. If a dead person has no soul, he will die and die, why do he burn incense and worship during festivals? It’s not superstition!

The coffin bed is too big, Wushuang is not short, but she can't touch the edge of the coffin bed when she lies on it. If this is a coffin bed, it is definitely not for ordinary people. Perhaps the deceased should be more than two meters tall.

The texture of the coffin bed was very smooth. Wushuang pressed his hand on it and touched it. He found that the surface of the coffin bed was cold and a stream of air was drilling into his body along the coffin bed that was touching the back. Perhaps this cold and bone-cut airflow was a torture for ordinary people, and even the yin energy would cause a disease to fall into the body. But for Wushuang, it was a kind of enjoyment. His body was changing due to the fusion with the blood and soul. His qi and blood were already different from ordinary people, like a mutant in the movie. This feeling was what he wanted.

"Get out quickly! Are you crazy? How unlucky?" Chu Tianyue rushed over and pulled Wushuang, but as soon as she touched the coffin bed, she rushed to the biting ice cold. The coldness made her quickly retract her little hand. Her face was pale, as if she had encountered an electric shock just now, and she never dared to move forward again.
