Unexpectedly, he came close to me and inserted the tweezers into my nasal cavity.

I felt an itching sensation in my nose, and looking at Erpang's expression, he seemed to be looking for something seriously.

Suddenly I felt the head of his tweezers pinching something in my nasal cavity. The feeling made me very sensitive.

He whispered: "It hurts a little, bear with it."

Before I understood what he was going to do, I felt as if something was being pulled out from between my eyebrows.

It felt painful from the top of my head to the soles of my feet, and my entire Tianlinggai was numb.

It felt like a nerve cord had been forcefully pulled out of my head, and the pain made me burst into tears.

Erpang took the loosened wrist of his other hand, pressed it on my forehead, and then pushed hard.

Just like pulling out a tooth, something like a thread was pulled out of my nostril cleanly, with blood still attached to the end.

I was rolling on the ground in pain. The second fat man helped me up and forced the kettle into my mouth. A bitter taste poured into my throat.

In just a few seconds, the pain suddenly subsided.

I rubbed my head, squinted my eyes and stared at the thread on the ground, and found that it was still alive and moving!

I suddenly felt extremely nauseous.

The second fat man smacked his lips at the side: "Since you don't have the ability, don't try to commit suicide. That thing is called nematode, which is a kind of parasite. It usually only lives on mummies. It is very tiny in its juvenile stage, even smaller than a hair.

It is very difficult to detect, and it will be parasitic from your mouth and nose if you are not careful. Once it is parasitized, your brain will be completely eaten within three days."

After hearing what Er Fatty said, I felt creepy.

Looking back at the time in the main hall, it was after I noticed this microscopic parasite that I had all kinds of hallucinations.

But if that’s the case, which one of them, Senior Liu Sa or Er Pang, is the fake one? Or did all this happen to me while I was half dreaming and half awake?

Seeing me in a daze, Erpang sighed: "It's about time you got off this girl, right?"

girl?

I looked down in surprise and found that I was sitting on a very soft silk cushion.

My eyes wandered backwards, when I looked behind me.

It was discovered that under the silk cushion was a lifelike female corpse!

The second fat man grabbed me by the collar and dragged me off the female body. My legs suffered some trauma during the fall. Although they were briefly bandaged, they were still unable to move freely.

"Don't be nervous, this thing is not a dead body." Erpang seemed to want to appease me, but after hearing this, I felt even more nervous.

In an ancient tomb, in addition to the body of the buried owner and the burial objects, there are other things. Isn’t it weirder?

"how do you know?"

"When have you ever seen a human box without a lid?"

I was speechless...

Generally, after the deceased is buried, the coffin lid is wedged shut with nails. Anyone who has watched zombie movies from Hong Kong and Taiwan knows that this is to prevent the corpse from being exposed to external air and causing the corpse to rise.

But the one in front of me not only has no top cover, but also no holes on the edges. There is only a layer of flexible transparent silk covering the surface, which looks more like a relatively large box.

I have to say that the toughness of this silk satin is truly amazing. I have been pressed down on it without a single wrinkle. It has supported my weight of over 100 kilograms and the acceleration of free fall, and has protected the body under the silk yarn very well.

.

The second fat man pulled out an iron stick from nowhere and tried to use the head of the stick to lift off the gauze covering the female body.

I hurriedly grabbed his lapel to stop him: "What are you doing? Didn't you see that this layer of gauze protects the female body like plastic wrap and prevents it from rotting? If the gauze is opened rashly, the body will oxidize.

The value will be greatly reduced!”

Erpang broke away from my hand and said, "Watch carefully." He shook the iron rod in front of my eyes, and I found that there seemed to be something like leaves stuck to the top of the iron rod.

I carefully identified it and saw that it was a mulberry leaf, and it was a very fresh mulberry leaf.

Is it possible that there is a mulberry tree growing in this ancient tomb?

I watched the fat man’s next movements with full doubts.

He took half a step back, lowered his body, and tried to keep a certain distance from the coffin. While ensuring that the thin silk covering the surface would not be lifted off, he tried his best to insert the iron rod with the mulberry leaves into the silk bit by bit.

.

The action is like a child setting off fireworks during the Chinese New Year. He is afraid of sparks splashing on himself and hides away, while holding the fireworks high and staring at the five-color fireworks blooming.

Through the electric light, I saw shallow ripples on the layer of silk, as if something was about to move, and a creaking sound came from the coffin, like someone scratching at the door.

The iron rod in Erpang's hand was in a lever state, sometimes rising and falling, as if a naughty child was playing with the iron rod at the other end.

Immediately afterwards, the end of the iron rod that was inserted into the coffin began to make a long and lazy cry. Starting from the edge, the iron rod bent downwards sharply until it broke.

The iron rod in Er Pang's hand suddenly came loose. He failed to support the center of his body and fell backward. However, Er Pang had been in the army for many years and was not as inexperienced as me. He turned over like a kite and stood up again, staring at the coffin box intently.

I wasn't in the mood to worry about him, so I followed the fat man's gaze and stared at the gap in the layer of gauze that had just been lifted.

Under the intertwining of electric light and darkness, a strand of silver-white silk thread slowly spread out from the gap. During this period, I also heard a crisp sound, and the small section of iron rod that had just been broken also fell out along the gap.

The second fat man waved to me, I struggled to get up, and followed him to the coffin with one step at a time.

Through the translucent tulle, I saw that the Cihe woman's face had changed!

There were countless wrinkles on her originally delicate face, and her small cherry mouth turned into a large, round mouth that covered half of her face. Sharp and tiny teeth were spread all over her mouth, as if she had a suction cup on her face, which was translucent.

The silk thread is sprayed out from this suction cup-like mouth.

"Is this still a human being?" I whispered in surprise.

"Of course it's not a human, it's an insect. To be precise, it's a humanoid silkworm chrysalis that's about to spin a cocoon."

I couldn't help but shudder: "Human-shaped silkworms? This is too anti-scientific!"

"It's just that we don't know. Many creatures in ancient times have become extinct. If you haven't seen them, you can't say they don't exist." Erpang said, "If my guess is correct, this should be used to release silkworms that are about to pupate.

The box is made of golden nanmu."

I lay down and carefully observed the texture and texture of the box. Analyzing the material composition of the coffin through its texture is also a required course for archeology majors.

The grain of the coffin is straight and fine, which can be said to be the finest golden nanmu. Those who can afford this kind of wood are definitely the nobles of ancient times.

I stood up and nodded, indicating that he was right.

"This is not the only one here." The two fat men lifted up a gauze tent next to them. There was an identical golden nanmu coffin placed next to it. There was only a step between them. "Before you came, I came on foot.

It is estimated that this place covers an area of ​​nearly one square kilometer, with one placed every one meter, so there are 1,800 of them."

I was shocked by this number, eighteen hundred! What is the status of the tomb owner to be so extravagant?

"Do you know Oracle?"

"Know a little." I said.

"Look at what's painted here. Is it an oracle bone inscription?" I followed the second fat man and squatted down on the south side of the coffin.

It was only then that I noticed that under my feet, above my head, and in all directions, there were hanging layers of silk that were exactly the same as the layer covering the coffin.

These silks are not empty, they all have silk embroidery. But I can't identify the region where this embroidery craft is used. It is neither as colorful as Shu embroidery, nor as delicate as Su embroidery, nor as colorful as Hunan embroidery.

Full and full, unlike Cantonese embroidery with a complete composition.

In terms of technique alone, it is unremarkable, with simple composition and single color.

Basically, it is no different from ordinary people writing and drawing on paper. Apart from neatness, it has no characteristics.

I also paid close attention to the patterns covering the coffin. After getting the answer from Er Pang, I recognized that the embroidered silk satin was a hieroglyph between oracle bone inscriptions and bronze inscriptions, which meant "silkworm".

The piece of embroidery that Er Pang is referring to also has this kind of hieroglyphic character. Although I am not 100% sure, judging from its glyph shape, it should be the word "Silk".

"Ou, silk, zhi, wild?" I roughly recognized the glyphs embroidered on the coffin in the four directions of east, west, north and south.

Er Pang's eyes lit up after hearing this: "What did you say? What is this,"

"The Wilderness of Osi." I repeated, as if I had heard this word somewhere.

The second fat man looked very excited: "I didn't expect, I didn't expect that this is the legendary Wilderness of Osi, so these must be the citizens of Osi Country!"

"what is that?"

"The Book of Mountains and Seas. Overseas Northern Classic records that there is a place in the east of Dayi Kingdom called the Wilderness of Ousi. A woman knelt down on the three mulberry trees and spun silk threads. This is the Wilderness of Ousi.

In addition, there is a story in "Sou Shen Ji" that also mentions the Wilderness of Osi."

Erpang took out his mobile phone. There was no signal here. All the information had to be downloaded. It could be seen that Erpang was well prepared:

"It is said that two countries were at war in ancient times. There was a general whose daughter had been waiting for her father at home for a long time, so she prayed to the horse she had raised since she was a child. As long as the horse could bring her father back, she would marry it.

wife.

This horse has lived in someone else's house for a long time and has become familiar with human nature. He was so happy when he heard about it that he broke free of the reins and ran away in the starry night.

Soon after, news came out on the battlefield that the battle was defeated. All the officials thought that the general had died in the battle. Who would have thought that within a few days, the horse came back carrying the general. After being treated by the imperial doctor, the general was cured.

Miraculously survived.

Later, the general's daughter told her father what she had said, but the general said: If my daughter marries Ma, won't my family be ruined? So she went back on her word.
