Chapter 38 Mummy

"Have you ever felt that there is a lingering fragrance floating in this corridor?" Xiangyu said.

"It's the smell of golden nanmu, probably coming from the rooms on the left and right." The old man said slowly and logically.

When Xiangyu heard what the old man said, she approached a wing next to her, sniffed, and then said, "It really floated out from inside."

Before she could finish her words, she didn't know where she touched the bronze lantern figurine at the door. The snake that was originally curled up in the figurine's hand suddenly unfolded the snake body and made two "sizzling" sounds.

sound.

Xiangyu was so frightened that he lost his balance, shifted his weight forward, and threw himself into the side room.

"Ah...go away, go away." Xiangyu's voice came from the side room.

Chen Mo rushed in with a single stride, and we followed closely behind.

The scene in the wing room is very different from the tomb we imagined. We can only see red curtains in the room layer upon layer, like a waterfall pouring down from the roof.

Xiangyu shouted loudly because his head was covered by a curtain.

The roof of the wing room is still the structure of a caisson. The sapphire blue dome is densely inlaid with crystals, which gather into a "sky full of stars".

On the four walls of the room, there are murals such as musical performance, nine-color deer flying to the sky, and landscapes.

Under the cover of the red curtain, we can faintly see a large bed with a strange shape in the middle of the curtain.

"Why does that bed look so weird? It feels like there is a shelf on the bed." Zhang Jisheng asked.

"This is the Babu bed, which is the largest type of bed among traditional Chinese furniture. The uniqueness of the Babu bed is that a small wooden cabin is added to the canopy bed. It looks like the canopy bed is placed in a closed wooden frame.

On the platform." I answered. I had seen this kind of bed once when I followed my grandfather to the countryside to collect antiques. My grandfather also gave me some knowledge, so it was easy to talk about it. "Although this kind of bed is used indoors,

There is a relatively independent activity space in front of the bed, just like an independent house."

"Zhou Cang, why do I feel that there seems to be a person sitting on that bed?" Xiangyu seemed not to have heard me introducing the bed, and said in a low voice, as if she was afraid of waking up anyone who was sleeping.

Hearing her words, an ominous premonition suddenly came into my heart.

Chen Mo looked around solemnly, and then said to us: "I'll go up and take a look. You guys stand at the door and don't move. If there is any emergency, leave the room immediately and close the door."

I anxiously grabbed Chen Mo's arm and said, "It's better not to look at it."

Chen Mo glanced at me, said nothing, then broke away from my hand and walked towards the big bed in the middle of the room.

He moved his steps slowly closer to the big bed, and my heart was twitching along with him. To be honest, if there was any emergency, with my skill and courage, it would be great not to hold him back.

Not to mention any help.

Chen Mo stopped in front of the big bed.

At this time, the damn hernia lamp actually flashed a few times in response to the atmosphere. It must have run out of power, and the light suddenly became very dim.

The huge psychological fear made my unsatisfactory legs begin to weaken.

Seeing Chen Mo standing there motionless, the old man who usually seemed to be repelling people from thousands of miles away actually walked forward and pulled Chen Mo, "How are you?"

Chen Mo seemed to have suddenly come to his senses and spoke slowly: "It's a mummy."

There was no danger, so we breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward.

The mummy on the bed in Babu has long, thick black hair hanging down, with two simple circles of green silk on the left and right sides. It wears a golden phoenix crown on its head. The phoenix crown is inlaid with six steps and hangs down on the face, making the whole body

The face is vaguely visible.

The mummy was wearing a dazzling wedding dress, which seemed to be in the style of the Tang Dynasty. The bright red silk satin glowed with a coquettish light and was inlaid with gold and jade, shining brightly in the darkness.

Not only is it luxurious, the workmanship of the golden wedding dress is also so exquisite that it seems that it was not made by ordinary people. Everyone's eyes are fixed on it.

"This should be an ancient costume from the Tang Dynasty. I didn't expect it to be so completely preserved after thousands of years." Zhang Jisheng sighed at the side.

"Did this corpse suddenly die while getting married? Why was it buried in a wedding dress? Moreover, there was no coffin, so it was just sitting upright on the bed. It felt a bit incredible." I asked.

"This is really strange. Is this the unique burial form of their tribe?" Zhang Jisheng said.

"What is this? Is it her burial object?" Xiangyu asked, pointing to a golden sphere next to the mummy's pillow.

Zhang Jisheng picked it up and looked at it, "This is a sphere made of gold. It looks like a globe. It's really strange why such a thing is used as a burial object."

Chen Mo stared at the mummy on the bed in a daze. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he pulled the mummy's head with his hand and took off the phoenix crown on its head. "It is indeed empty."

We took a closer look and saw that the mummy had no skull.

"Chen Mo, how did you know?" I asked doubtfully.

"Could it be that its skull is the blue skull we dug out in Wawu Mountain?" Zhang Jisheng guessed.

Chen Mo did not answer. Without any warning, he quickly walked to the door and pressed on the bronze figurine. The mummy suddenly lay down.

We were all shocked, "It turns out there are mechanisms on this mummy."

But Chen Mo didn't come in again. We hurried out and found that Chen Mo had opened several doors of the side rooms on both sides, but he was gone.

We walked in one by one and checked, and found that the interiors were exactly the same, with large beds, mummified women, red curtains, and golden wedding dresses.

"Chen Mo," I shouted, but no one answered.

We opened all the rooms, but we couldn't find Chen Mo.

"What is he doing? It's like this every time. He comes when he wants and leaves when he wants." Xiangyu was a little angry.

"Don't worry about him. Ever since we got to know him, how has he ever acted in a way that is consistent with common sense," Zhang Jisheng said a little helplessly.

"It's different now. In such an environment, he suddenly disappears. What should we do? If we find the exit, don't we have to wait for him and let him fend for himself here? It's really impossible.

Reasonable." Xiangyu was filled with anger.

"Forget it, let's ignore him and continue walking inside. There are mummies here, and they will sit up when it's cold. It looks weird." I said.

Xiangyu still looked a little reluctant, but finally stopped complaining about Chen Mo and followed us inside.

Without Chen Mo by my side, I felt very uneasy walking, for fear that some kind of accident would happen and we wouldn't be able to cope with it.

We were really afraid of what would come. Just when we passed through the second door and came to the entrance of the Xiangtang again, a strange pattern composed of black lines suddenly appeared on the blue brick floor inside the Xiangtang.
