"Head, I was shocked when I opened the coffin. There was a corpse inside the coffin! It was all dry and cracked!"
"Yunfeng, what is the paint corpse?"
"It's an ancient corpse covered in raw lacquer from head to toe. It may have been made into a lacquer corpse while the person was still alive. I took a photo specifically."
"Ah! What is this!"
Xiaoxuan glanced at my phone and ran away in a hurry.
Douyazai swallowed his saliva and glared: "Except for the color, at first glance it looks a bit like a model in a wax museum. Head, is there anything in the industry about this kind of painted corpse?"
Douyazai asked what I wanted to know. Just because I haven't seen it doesn't mean I haven't seen it before. His experience and knowledge are far higher than mine.
Due to the dark light in the wall hole, the photo I took is not very clear, but I can still see the outline of a dark human face covered with dry cracks.
He raised his head and frowned and said, "This is my first time seeing it too. This is an exception. But Yunfeng, think about it from another angle. There is no such thing in the tomb, but there is it in other places."
"Has it happened elsewhere?"
A thought flashed through my mind.
"Botou, you mean...the kind of Buddha in the flesh?"
"That's right, in the past, when making meat Buddhas in temples, they also had to paint and then add rosin and lime. The difference with this ancient corpse is that the rosin and lime were omitted and a special anti-corrosion paint was used instead. In addition, the rosin and lime were added.
The container was changed from a vat to a coffin."
"Yunfeng, your previous judgment was correct. There are various signs that this place is closely related to Manichaeism in the Song Dynasty."
"Pack it up and let's go back. There should be nothing in this place."
Xiaoxuan had already carried her bag and was carrying a tool bag in her hand. I also carried my tool bag.
"Fengzi! Please help me!"
When drilling out, Dou Sprout got stuck because he was carrying a sack containing funerary objects.
I pushed hard for him, but Dou Sprout shouted no! He couldn't move at all!
I scolded: "Stop barking! You don't know how to walk sideways!"
"Fengzi, you're bragging! How do you walk sideways! Show me one of them!"
"Trash! Start!"
I took over from Bean Sprout, first rubbed it from side to side to loosen the sack stuck to the wall, then I tightened my belly and turned sideways bit by bit.
At this moment, I clearly felt itching near my ears, as if someone had lightly scratched them with their fingernails.
I quickly looked back with a flashlight.
There was nothing in the secret room except a pile of ashes left by burned clothes on the ground.
Shivering, I picked up the sack and ran.
Before leaving the cave, the man walking in front suddenly stopped.
"Did you hear everything?"
Me, Xiaoxuan, and Douyazai, all three of us said we heard it.
It was the same strange sound I heard when I first arrived on the island, like the intermittent cry of a woman. The difference was that this time I heard it very clearly, and it felt like it was not far away.
"Everyone turned off their flashlights and we walked close to the wall."
We listened to the leader and turned off the flashlight, and we were instantly unable to see our fingers in the cave.
As we got closer to the cave entrance, the strange sound got closer and closer.
"Turn on the lights!"
In the darkness, only the head was heard shouting.
We turned on the flashlight instantly.
"What the hell! What the hell is this! So big! A bird!?"
"Shh!"
Signaling Bean Sprouts to keep quiet.
With my back against the wall, I approached step by step and rushed over in an instant!
"Caught! Come and help!"
"Don't let go Mineko!"
Bean sprouts also rushed over.
I pressed down this thing with both hands.
This is a strange bird, a very big one! Its fur is made up of three colors: brown and black. After being held down by Dou Sprout and I, it flapped its wings desperately and made a series of strange sounds.
The cry probably goes something like this.
"Woo, woo woo! Oh oh oh oh... woo woo."
The strange noises we have heard since arriving on the island are caused by this thing.
Dou Sprout grabbed the wings, picked up the thing, looked at it, and laughed: "Hahaha, what did I think! It turns out to be just a bird!"
"I told you to scare us! I told you to fucking scare us!"
Douyazai held up his wings and opened his bow from left to right, and slapped the strange bird on the head more than ten times.
"Is this an owl?" Xiaoxuan asked.
Dou Sprout said loudly: "No! How can there be an owl like this! Owls don't hoot like that! By the way, this thing is much bigger than an owl. It's almost a meter long, right?"
Xiaoxuan frowned: "It's not even one meter, it's at most eighty centimeters."
"Eighty meters is about the same as one meter! I think this is a kind of vulture! It's rare. Maybe it's some kind of protected animal."
After Dou Sprout finished complaining, I looked at this strange bird again.
Big round face, aquiline nose, round eyes, two small holes on the left and right sides of the nose, claws that look very sharp and strong, and two hairs standing on the head, like long eyebrows.
Although it has a strange appearance and a strange cry, it looks a bit silly overall. Whether it is the eagle that Dou Yazai said or the owl that Xiaoxuan said, in short, it is a big stupid bird, otherwise it would not be caught by us so easily.
I asked the boss, who said he didn't know whether it was an eagle or an owl. Dou Sprout angrily said that he should be beaten to death. This beast scared us so much.
I laughed and said: "If Brother Yu were here, he would definitely say that God is good at saving lives and spares birds when he has to. Its appearance in the cave must be related to the previous group of rats. Don't be familiar with it and let it go.
."
Dou Sprouts curled his lips, slapped the strange bird on the head again, and said fiercely: "Did you hear that! You little bitch is lucky this time! If you dare to pretend to be a ghost next time to scare us, I'll chop off your head!"
The bird's pair of round black eyes stared at Bean Sprouts, and its eyes seemed to say: "What can I do? I was born with this name."
"Give it to me."
Xiaoxuan suddenly reached out for it.
So Dou Sprout grabbed the wings and handed them to Xiaoxuan.
Unexpectedly, in the next second, Xiaoxuan pulled out the knife from her waist and wiped the strange bird's neck like a chicken.
Blood splattered and throat sealed.
The knife Xiaoxuan used was the one she picked up in the lake a long time ago. It was very sharp.
The strange bird kept fluttering up and down in pain, and a lot of feathers fell off. Xiaoxuan grabbed its feet and smashed it against the stone.
Xiaoxuan let go until she stopped moving and screamed.
It only took two or three minutes for Dou Sprouts to get over it and kill him. Xiaoxuan said, "Yunfeng, you forgot. The ticket seller on the boat said that this island is in the Wetland Park Reserve. Maybe this bird
He just ran from the Wetland Park, so it would be better to kill him."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... It's too vicious... It's too cruel, Zhao Xuanxuan, it's just a bird, why are you so cruel? It's true that it has seen us, could it possibly speak and identify us?"
?" Dou Sprout said beside him.
Xiaoxuan frowned and said, "Don't be weird with me here! It can't talk! But what if it's really a protected animal of the Wetland Park! What if someone from the park finds this island! It's very likely that they will find a cave!
Maybe that secret room will be discovered too!”
After hearing what Xiaoxuan said, I was stunned.
After reacting, I felt that this possibility really existed.
Dou Sprout was scolded, so he made an excuse and said: "You are just making a fuss and trying to show yourself smart in front of the boss. I think this is just like the wild birds living on the island. Women are always like this, and they are cruel."
Xiaoxuan was about to have a seizure, and Dou Sprout ran away immediately.
At this time, the head said: "Stop making trouble, Xiaoxuan did the right thing."
When I came out of the cave, the heavy fog that had been there all night had dissipated a lot. I looked at the time, it was five o'clock in the morning.
I carried the sack and said, "Boss, I have a suggestion. This sack is too conspicuous on the boat, and the boat owner and several people on the boat can't believe it. We can first find a hidden place to hide it, and wait until tonight, Brother Yu and I will
We are using our boat to pick it up quietly."
He thought about it for a moment, then nodded and said that he could do this.
So I hid the sack behind a big rock, noted the location, and brought a lot of weeds and dead branches from elsewhere to cover the rock.
Be careful when sailing a ten-thousand-year boat. This is the safest way. No one can come to this island for a year, so there is no problem with safety.
Back on the boat, at half past five, the boat owner and several waiters seemed to have not gotten up yet. Dou Sprout opened his hands, stretched his body, and screamed.
I closed my eyes and rubbed my temples. I was really tired from the night.
When I opened my eyes, I saw Xiaoxuan walking behind Bean Sprouts.
Xiaoxuan didn't say a word and kicked Douyazi in the butt while he was stretching.
The force of this kick was so strong that Dou Sprouts fell directly on his face to the ground.
"Zhao Xuanxuan! You damn sneak attack on me!"
Xiaoxuan had a dark face and threw the knife in her hand away without waiting for Dou Sprout to get up.
impartial.
The knife plunged into the gap between the splints between Douyazai's legs! The whole blade was still trembling slightly.
Dou Sprout was holding his hands on the deck, his face turned pale!
If he had moved forward three centimeters, he might have been injured and turned into a eunuch.
Xiaoxuan walked over, squatted down, and pulled out the knife.
With a cold face, she threatened Dou Sprout Zai: "This is the last warning. If you dare to blame me, I will cut it off for you and stuff it into your mouth."
