Noise is sometimes a terrible weapon of destruction.
It is difficult to describe what kind of sound this is.
It is like people whispering, but in an incomprehensible language, or like the shrill wail of a strong wind blowing through the window at night, or countless people screaming together.
This is completely a noise, with all kinds of sounds, sometimes high-pitched, and sometimes like the friction sound of countless beetles moving together.
But this sound is infinitely loud, as if the noise source is plugged into my ears and the volume is turned up to the maximum.
At first, I was still a little confused. I don't know why I can hear such a sound when the Earth Spirit Pearl is touched, but with the continuous torture of the noise, I gradually lost my ability to think, and my head seemed to be split. This pain completely suppressed the pain caused by the previous fall. I covered my head with my hands and rolled on the ground until I was numb with pain. A little bit of light gradually bloomed in front of my eyes. Those light grains were only the size of rice grains, but they emitted a super strong halo, gradually filling all the places within my sight...
Pah!
Suddenly, two heavy slaps landed on my face, and the halos in front of my eyes gradually dissipated, and the noise gradually calmed down.
The mining lamp illuminated the dark tomb, and several anxious faces came to my eyes...
It was my master and his friends, who had come down at some point.
"Look, I told you, you need to fight in this situation, you need stimulation!"
Lao Bai grinned, stretched out his hand and pulled me up from the damp tomb floor, and said with a smile: "Xiao Weizi, thank me quickly, if it weren't for my buddy slapping you twice, you would have passed away now. You don't know, your pupils have begun to dilate just now, and you will die soon..."
Lao Bai spoke passionately, and was about to exaggerate how he saved me with two big slaps, but was pushed aside by my master.
"What happened?"
My master grabbed my hand and frowned while feeling my pulse: "Why is your pulse so fast? Although it has gradually decreased, it is still very abnormal. Can you tell me what happened just now? The situation is too dangerous. Your pulse is so fast, which means that your heart rate just now has exceeded your body's load and almost caused a heart attack."
I shook my dizzy head and wanted to stand up, but I found that my legs were shaking lightly and I had an indescribable feeling of nausea. I almost subconsciously touched my lower abdomen and hesitated, "It seems that something is calling me, and the Earth Spirit Pearl has also reacted, but I heard a lot of noises, and then I don't know anything..."
"Calling?"
My master's eyebrows jumped, and he thought for a moment without a solution. Then he sighed, patted my shoulder and said, "Be careful. If there is any situation, tell me immediately. I suspect... it may be the real owner who is making trouble. The earth spirit bead in your stomach must have been obtained by the things in the demon tomb. There is some connection, which caused these situations..."
He pondered for a while and smiled, "This is a good thing. At least with this intermittent induction, we can directly find the real owner!"
I nodded and struggled to stand up. Zhang Xinya had turned on the waterproof mining lamp, and I roughly scanned the tomb.
This tomb is not big, only about a hundred square meters at most. As I guessed, this tomb does belong to the real wife. There are many burial objects in it, but this is not a tomb of a king, a general, or a minister after all, and there are not so many gold, silver and jewelry. Most of them are old wooden furniture, which has been rotten and there is basically nothing valuable.
There is a lot of water on the ground of the tomb.
Before the corpse in this tomb turned into soil and bled, it was a brine tomb. Water must have seeped in and flooded the entire tomb. There is still a lot of water on the bumpy ground of the tomb. It is green and fishy, but not smelly.
"It seems that Xing Wei has helped us pave the way forward. Once this tomb is opened, the evil spirit leaks out and the fierceness is much less. Originally, you could see green water when you shoveled, but now it has disappeared."
Brother Yaozi is knowledgeable and has seen the clues. He smiled and said, "But try to avoid contact with the water on the ground. This is all fermented from the water that soaked the corpse. It is poisonous and it is easy to get many strange diseases if you touch it."
While they were exploring here, I had already taken a rough look around. After finding nothing, my eyes finally fell on the coffin in the middle of the tomb.
This is a stone coffin, and its size is much larger than that of an ordinary coffin. I can tell at a glance that this is actually an outer coffin with an inner coffin. In ancient times, only some wealthy families could afford such a coffin. There are two layers in total. The small coffin inside is for the dead, and there is a large coffin outside. Some burial objects are stuffed in the gap between the coffins. Most of the valuables are here, all of which are valuables.
However, the texture of this coffin is quite interesting.
As far as I know, this kind of stone coffin was only used in the ignorant period when human production technology was very limited, such as some cultures in the Neolithic Age. In the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the coffins of dignitaries were mostly made of bronze. It was not until the Han Dynasty that wooden coffins appeared on a large scale and stone coffins were completely eliminated. Only some poor people who could not even afford a thin coffin would use such coffins. Moreover, the poor used a stone trough, which was not like what you see now. It was a large stone with a groove in the middle where people could lie down. The shape was probably similar to the ancient horse trough, and a layer of broken mat was covered on the outside. Similar to this stone coffin, there are reliefs on the outside, and it uses a lot of carving. The cost is high, far exceeding the general expensive wooden coffins. It is labor-intensive and labor-intensive, and is not as beneficial to the preservation of the corpse as the rare wooden coffin. It is completely thankless. Isn't it a very novel thing that such a coffin appeared in a tomb in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China?
"The person lying inside might be a feathered person."
Zhang Xinya probably saw my doubts and said with a smile: "The feathered people prefer stone products."
I nodded. This is a reason. Maybe it's true as Lao Bai said. We ritual officials have extra feelings for this kind of tomb. In addition, this is my first time to visit such an ancient tomb. It's really novel. I have a strong desire to explore. I saw that the relief outside the stone coffin is quite interesting. In addition to some cloud patterns, there seems to be a bird on it with only one wing, like a lovebird, but with two eyes.
According to legend, the lovebird has only one eye and one wing, so only male and female birds can fly side by side. People often use it to describe the deep love between husband and wife. The bird on the coffin looks like the lovebird in the legend, but only the right wing should be a female bird. If nothing unexpected happens, the coffin in the main tomb next door should be a male bird. This does have some meaning, but I can't figure out the two eyes. Could it be that even husband and wife have to be more careful? It shouldn't be so boring. I stared at this strange bird and always felt that it seemed to be pointing to something.
However, when I walked less than seven or eight steps away from the stone coffin, I was overwhelmed by an inexplicable panic. My heartbeat speed suddenly accelerated, so fast that I could hear the "thump thump" sound and the rustling noise appeared. I even had a trance for a moment,
Come again?
I was completely panicked, thinking that the Earth Spirit Pearl had reacted again. I uttered a low cry and quickly retreated. Unfortunately, the noise did not disappear. It was "buzzing" beside my ears, but it did not get stronger. It kept rustling, as if many people were whispering beside my ears, but I couldn't hear what they were saying.
"Hey!"
Lao Bai was the first to notice that I was abnormal, and he pushed me hard, and the whispering stopped immediately.
"What's wrong again?"
Lao Bai asked, "You look like you've been possessed!"
"I heard that sound again..."
I shook my head fiercely, looking at the coffin in doubt, and said hesitantly, "The sound...seems to come from under this coffin."
My master and Brother Yaozi looked at each other, their eyes obviously lit up, and then Brother Yaozi took out a crowbar and strode towards the coffin. It was obviously not the first time he did this. He looked like he had no taboos and knocked on the bottom of the coffin for a long time.
"I can't move it!"
After a moment, Brother Yaozi shook his head at my master and said, "This coffin platform is made of furnace ash and glutinous rice paste. When they are pounded together, it looks like a big stew in Shanxi. Then the coffin is pushed on it. Once it is dry, you can't swing it open even with a sledgehammer, let alone a crowbar. The three towers in Dali are all of this structure. The earthquake that almost buried Dali more than a hundred years ago failed to collapse it. If you want to move this coffin, you can only use explosives!"
"When the explosives go off, there are countless soaps."
Lao Bai said unhappily, "Although it's in the wilderness, the dynamite makes too much noise. We go to the tomb to save lives. If we are really held down, it will be yellow mud falling off our pants. It's shit, it's shit. Do you want to go to jail?"
This time Brother Yaozi couldn't say anything. It was really unreliable to use explosives to blow it up.
"It's unlikely, right? Since Jingzhe has sensed it, the clue of the demon tomb should be under this coffin!"
My master frowned and said, "This family built the tomb here to cover the demon tomb below, so that the descendants of Yumin can get the forbidden objects without blocking the road!"
"Could it be inside the coffin?"
Brother Yaozi muttered. This is a ruthless person. As soon as he had an idea, he immediately aimed at the gap in the coffin lid and inserted the crowbar into it with a "clang". He directly lifted the coffin lid and pushed it open with a "boom".
Lao Bai kept saying that he went to the tomb to save my life and not for money, but when it really came, his legs and feet were more agile than anyone else. He rushed over, holding on to the edge of the stone coffin and staring at the gap in the coffin. He was a connoisseur and knew that valuable things were stuffed in that gap, but he soon gave up and sighed. Obviously, there were no valuable objects in it, which made him very disappointed. Then he looked into the coffin.
"Hahahahaha..."
Lao Bai laughed like a madman. I thought he had found something valuable, and just when I wanted to go over to take a look, I saw him pointing at the inside of the coffin and said, "Your classmate's great-grandfather had a heavy taste. He married a female eunuch!!"
