Chapter Thirteen: The Small Coffin
The most proud person at the moment was Fatty. This guy almost walked back to where we came in humming a tune, and then began to pack his backpack.
I glanced back, and then whispered: "Can you be more serious? Let's quickly find a way in."
"When I touch Colonel Jin, what can be more serious than to install a ghost weapon?" The fat man picked up something beside the stone couch, "Don't worry, I already have an idea of the way down, let's go there first
Let’s stay safe here and wait until we get to the underground palace to see what good things there are.”
"What? Have you found the entrance?" I looked at the fat man in surprise.
The fat man couldn't help but feel a little worried when he realized that the artifacts around him were quite big. They didn't seem to be interested in talking to me.
At this time, Peanut said: "Everything in the seven brick rooms is the same. Although this seems a bit strange, in fact, it can easily expose the entrance mechanism. As long as we find the differences in these brick rooms, then
It’s probably where the agency is.”
The fat man suddenly raised his head and said, "I'm still smart. Let me tell you, I have found that place. It is behind the stone couch in the fifth brick room. There is a crack there, but there is no crack anywhere else."
I felt a little uncomfortable for a moment, "Since you know this, why didn't you tell me earlier? Have you forgotten that those three people are still trapped inside?"
The fat man put down a clay pot in his hand and glared at me, "How come you haven't made any progress since you came out of a ghost place like the Tomb of Prince Yelang?"
"Hey, why haven't I grown up?" Of course I have, damn I... I, I really can't find it this time.
The fat man walked to the side door, glanced behind him, and then said to me: "Think about the way those people looked when they first came in. Did they look like they were here to save people? They...
I was frightened by Yang Lang's words, but now I have calmed down, so I didn't seize this opportunity to do my own thing. Look at the two of us, weren't we pushed away by them? They have already seen this
Now, let us come over, and they can continue to work there. Since they have expressed their stance, why should we join in the fun?"
The fat man was right, but I still couldn't figure it out: "Didn't Professor Chen ask Peanut to come with us?"
The fat man groaned, as if he hated iron. Peanut smiled and said: "In their eyes, I am the most useless one. The fat man is right. My uncle and the others have their own plans."
"Then do you know their true purpose?" I asked.
Peanut shook his head, "Actually, I didn't expect to meet my uncle here, and he couldn't tell me the internal affairs of the archaeological team, but I think this may be related to some of his research. Although this tomb is relatively small
It’s not the same place as before, but once it’s reported, it will definitely attract the attention of the world. And some archaeological work can only be carried out at the first site, so I think it’s fake that they are looking for someone, and it’s true that they conduct some research.
.”
"I didn't expect that your family is quite complicated." I said with a wry smile.
After thinking about it again, I think what Peanut said might be a big one. Not only in archeology, but in any field of scientific research, the first discoverer is the best in terms of academics, reputation, interests, etc. This is consistent with
It's the same as tomb robbers. If you are the first to attack, you will always get the most oil and water. However, for tomb robbers, if you attack first, there is always the risk of causing thunder to others.
But all in all, I no longer had the enthusiasm to save people and visit graves, so I just sat down and watched the fat man playing with the underworld weapon.
After watching for a few minutes, I found that the fat man had not taken the last of the underworld weapons, so I asked him: "What? Suddenly my conscience became aware of it?"
"Tsk, these things are too big and the craftsmanship is mediocre. They probably won't fetch a very good price after being resold. Moreover, the furnishings in several tombs are the same. If they suddenly come over and see something missing, then I can't bear it, fat man.
It's a huge loss. Let's just wait and find a few more things we can get." After finishing speaking, the fat man walked over and looked in front of him, "Hey, when do you think they can finish it, why don't we just go over and tell them?
They got it."
I just can't stand the fat man's behavior, "Why are you thinking about getting the underworld weapon? Come and tell me now? Didn't your intentions be exposed by others before? Let me tell you, Zhuge Xuan is
Those who know our background have made her anxious, be careful Yang Lang and those two guards in uniforms tie you into the police station."
"Fat Master, I'm still afraid of them? Huh, those weak scholars, I'll scare them to the point of peeing when I sneeze."
I'm too lazy to talk to him anymore. But that's what I said, but at this time I actually couldn't wait to go down and have a look. I came all the way from Chengdu, so I can't just squat here and smoke.
At this time, Peanut walked in front of the stone couch and seemed to be sizing up the longan and phoenix. Fatty and I were sitting on the ground smoking, when Fatty suddenly winked at me and pointed at Peanut with his chin.
I understood that he wanted me to ask Peanut about the purpose of coming here and the relationship between this place and the tomb of King Yelang. However, Peanut also expressed his position to me in the tent before, so I shook my head helplessly.
The biggest gain I gained during this time is that I know that it is useless to ask others about many things. If you don’t tell whether what the other person tells you is true or false, even if they tell the truth, you may still be confused by just listening.
I was confused. So I made up my mind to try to figure out some things by myself. As long as I have enough things in my hands, I will probably know what he said when my dad talks to me again.
It's true or false.
Seeing that I didn't move, the fat man stretched out his leg and kicked me. I was about to fight back when suddenly, Peanut suddenly turned around. "Fat man, come here and help me."
Peanut said this in a very low voice, but said it so urgently that both Fatty and I were stunned.
The fat man admired Peanut very much. When Peanut asked him for help, he got up and walked over.
"What's wrong?" the fat man asked.
I also wanted to walk over, but Peanut stretched out his hand to me and said, "Yuan Jie, stare outside."
It seemed that Peanut wanted to do something and wanted me to keep an eye on it, so I leaned against the door and continued to pretend to smoke, while staring at Peanut and Fatty.
Then, Peanut walked to the side of the stone couch and whispered: "Let's lift it up."
"Ah? Isn't it?" The fat man asked doubtfully, "You, you want to sell this thing? It's worth... it must be valuable, but I'm afraid the police will shoot you if we carry it halfway on the road.
"
Peanut shook his head, "There should be something underneath."
The fat man said "Hmm" without saying anything more. He walked to the other side of the stone couch, and then he and Peanut used force to lift the stone couch up at the same time.
The stone couch weighed several hundred kilograms at least, but the two of them moved it to the side very easily with almost no sound.
The fat man was about to wipe his sweat when suddenly his expression changed.
I saw from a distance that there was a hidden compartment about the same size as a stone couch exposed underneath, and what seemed to be a large wooden box placed in the hidden compartment.
At this time, it was already difficult for me to stand still at the door. I saw that the people in other brick rooms had not made much movement, so I walked over.
This time, I immediately recognized what that big wooden box was.
"Damn, there is actually a small coffin hidden here." The fat man whispered, "Brother, how did you see the problem?"
"Something inside seems to have moved."
When Peanut said this, my head almost got bigger. Last time when he said this, the three of us almost died. This time, I really don't know what is waiting for us.
Suddenly, Fatty and I didn't dare to think about opening the coffin anymore. However, Peanut squatted on the edge of the hidden compartment and started to check whether the coffin was sealed.
"Peanut, does it matter if we just open it like this?" the fat man asked worriedly.
"Yeah, what if there are those things again?" I also said.
"We will continue to stay here for a while. If we don't figure it out, there may be greater dangers." Peanut said, "But I feel that there shouldn't be much danger here."
"But didn't you say that the things inside are moving?" I stared at the coffin uneasily. I had heard people say before that the little devil is the most powerful. I wonder if the little zongzi will be more ferocious.
Peanut had already put his hands on both sides of the coffin. He raised his arms slightly and without making any sound, the lid of the small coffin was opened.
Fatty and I stood on the edge, our hearts beating wildly, and both of us couldn't help but reach out to the guy hidden in our clothes.
But when I saw what was in the coffin, my head felt numb.
