Chapter 86
pped us and said there were human bones on the ground ahead.It's not strange to find human bones in a burial ground. What is strange, however, is that these scattered white bones don't seem very old...."These black waters... aren't they the embalming fluid flowing out from the coffin" Hong Jie covered her nose and said.
"Brother nodded and said, "It looks like it. Let's wait until the water runs clear and then take a look. Judging by the previous situation, there should be at least one more layer of coffin inside."
"
"Huh Something's not right, big brother," I discovered something strange at that moment.
"What's wrong, Yunfeng"
I pointed at the two bronze statues, resembling terracotta warriors, and said, “There are pits under these bronze statues, aren't there Look, the coffin fluid has seeped out, following along the bottom of their feet.”
When the big brother saw it, his eyebrows furrowed.
Getting closer and shining a light, we carefully examined it and discovered the trick.
As it turned out, there were many small holes around the base of the bronze statue. The preservative fluid that flowed from the silver coffin leaked out through these holes at the foot of the statue.
The boss looked around the main tomb chamber and then said, "It's possible that this was intentionally designed by the former owner of the tomb to prevent water damage. They were afraid rainwater would ruin this place."
“
"Alright, let's forget about this for now. I think the coffin fluid has almost drained. Lao San, you and I will go up and pry open the last layer of the coffin board!"
"Be careful," Hong Jie said, frowning and looking around. "My heart is pounding; I have a bad feeling about this."
"
"Oh, nothing's wrong, Xiaohong. You're just cold because it's too cold here."
">
The Sun brothers worked back and forth, prying at the coffin board. It didn't take long before they managed to pry it open.
As the silver board peeled away, in an instant.
A flash of gold passed before my eyes.
The innermost layer of this coffin... is pure gold......
It was actually a golden coffin and a silver casket!
The flashlight shone ahead, the golden light dazzling and blinding.
Gold doesn't oxidize like silver, remaining shiny and new even after a thousand years. This golden coffin is adorned with numerous intricate patterns, each one incredibly lifelike.
The patterns on the gold plate include feathered people and flying figures, one scene in particular is the most unusual.
This is a row of soldiers in armor. Strangely, each of them has a snake-like animal coiled on their heads.
No, looking closely with a flashlight, this can't be called a snake. It can only be said to resemble one because the carvings are very obvious. All these snakes have legs.
Looking at the picture, Hongjie's expression was solemn, and she lowered her head in deep thought.
Suddenly, she raised her head abruptly and exclaimed in astonishment, "Big Brother One, Big Brother Three! There's an army with four-legged snakes on their heads! Isn't this the legend of the ancient Yue Kingdom"
The golden light swept across the eyes of the crowd. The leader, touching the golden coffin board, said in a low voice: "That's just a legend, it can't be true. I didn't expect that the owner of this tomb is still a follower of the ancient Yue Black Witch."
”
I didn't understand what was being said, so I asked for clarification.
At this time, Red Sister explained: "In the past, there was a small country called Gu Yue in the Nanman region. This Gu Yue wasn't the Yue country of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was much older than that. The ancient Gu Yue was the ancestor of Chu witch culture and also the origin of Miaojiang's poisonous techniques. Legend has it that there was a four-legged serpent army in ancient Gu Yue. They were invincible in conquering cities and territories. It is even said that as long as the soldiers had a four-legged serpent on their heads, they would not die. Even if they were shot with arrows or stabbed with swords, they could still jump around and kill enemies."

"No way....Red Sister, this doesn't sound right at all," I said, unconvinced.
Red Sister nodded. "Don't say you don't believe it, I don't believe it either, but..." She pointed to the four-legged snake patterns and said: "These four-legged snakes do exist, and there are quite a few of them. Now they are called Chinese Water Dragons scientifically, and some people call them Dragon Climbers. When I was a child, I even killed one and fed it to my cat."
Big brother also nodded in agreement: "Xiao Hong is right, there's nothing to be afraid of this thing. In our place, we call it a dog wife."
All the children in the village were caught and played with.

”ay at the wooden crate.When we opened the box and saw what was inside, we finally breathed a sigh of relief.The copper coins were neatly arranged, with bubble wrap and newspaper still intact. Nothing...
