Chapter 70 Earth Dragon

"Is there something scratching your hand?!" Yuanxiao's words surprised me and subconsciously hurriedly left the coffin beside me.

When we heard Yuanxiao say this, and his expression was indeed not like a joke. We hurriedly called the flashlight to shine the dark coffin. In fact, when we saw the size of the coffin, our first impression was that this coffin was a set of coffin, which was divided into two layers, which means that there was a real coffin inside the coffin.

But the fact is that as we expected, there is indeed a layer of inner coffin in the coffin, but what we didn't expect was that the inner coffin actually had no coffin lid, which made us a little incredible. If the inner coffin was not covered, then what is the meaning of this inner coffin?

However, this also has some benefit. The inner coffin does not have a coffin lid, which will save us a lot of trouble. We can clearly see the internal situation of the coffin at a glance.

There is nothing special inside the coffin, just some burial objects are placed, which are usually used by the deceased. Here we found some wine utensils that look like gold, some things that look like bronze utensils, and some clay pots.

Now Yuanxiao's eyes suddenly lit up, and she forgot the shock she had just now. She took two steps, "Hey! There is indeed something in it!" As she said that, she reached out to get it, but the second uncle immediately stopped drinking it, "What are you doing? You haven't seen the real master clearly, don't move around! I forgot that when you were so scared that you threw away the lid of the coffin?!"

Yuanxiao smiled awkwardly, "Hehe, Uncle Second, I won't take it. I just look at it. I just want to ask, is this winery worth it?"

The second uncle looked at him and said, "The workmanship of this wine utensil is very rough. The level of handicrafts in the north back then was still very different from that of the Qin Dynasty. In addition, the craftsmanship restrictions at that time, the level of gold purification is very low. The level of northern nomadic people like the Huns is even lower, so this thing is actually not worth much."

Yuanxiao was a little disappointed after hearing the second uncle's words and sighed, "I thought I could make some good things, but I didn't get much, but I'd better take it, it's better than nothing."

The second uncle smiled, "I just said that you know too little about this, so you can't stand the eyesight. In fact, these wine vessels are far less valuable than these two bronze magic instruments."

When Lantern Festival heard this, his eyes immediately lit up again, "Uncle II, do you take this seriously?"

The second uncle opened his mouth and was about to speak, but suddenly his face changed and he hurriedly closed his mouth again. We looked along his gaze and found that the second uncle was staring at the inner coffin in the coffin.

In the inner coffin, four vessels were placed at four corners, and a thick brocade quilt was covered in the middle of the coffin. The brocade quilt was bulging high in the middle, and it seemed that the corpse should be located.

Since these things have been going on for thousands of years, and the coffin is not tightly sealed, the brocade quilt has long been broken into flocs, piled up in the inner coffin, and I really couldn't see anything. I turned to look at my second uncle: "Did you second uncle? What's wrong? Have you seen any tricks?"

The second uncle stared at the brocade quilt in the inner coffin and said, "I think the person who is covered under the brocade quilt may not be a human."

Although I don’t believe that Uncle Second could see the situation inside through the brocade quilt, I was still shocked by his words! “Uncle Second, why did you say that?”

Uncle Er didn't say anything, took out a short knife, pulled open the flocs, and then exposed part of the brocade quilt. When we walked forward, I felt that my mind was stunned.

I couldn't believe my eyes, because I clearly saw that what was exposed under the brocade quilt was a tail. Although the muscles on this tail were dry, I could still imagine that this tail was very thick and shaped like a lizard's tail. As far as I know, the Komodo dragon that exists in the world can be compared with this thing.

Seeing this scene, I was so shocked that I couldn't speak. Even Yuanxiao forgot the underworld objects in the coffin and stuttered: "Uncle Second, what is this? Why was he buried in the coffin?"

The second uncle said, "This thing is called the Earth Dragon. I have seen relevant records in some ancient tombs in the northern Liao area. This kind of creature is very rare and is regarded as a guardian beast of gods by the ancients, especially the nomadic peoples in the north. If a tribe can find a Earth Dragon, it will immediately worship it, and even feed it with human flesh. According to legend, the location of the tomb of Genghis Khan was guided by a Earth Dragon. So after the construction was completed, tens of thousands of horses stepped on it, and no real tomb of Genghis Khan could be found from ancient times to the present."

After hearing the second uncle's words, I said, "The second uncle, according to your opinion, this earth dragon is the divine beast worshipped by the Huns. After his death, he was placed here to be buried. But the problem is, didn't you just say that the lid of the coffin said that this is a great shaman wizard? Could this animal still be a wizard?"

Uncle Er frowned and shook his head, "This is something I have never figured out. Logically speaking, the carving on the coffin should not be wrong, but why did it turn into a ground dragon?"

Yuanxiao said, "Is there any possibility that I originally wanted to let the great wizard be buried with me, but the great wizard couldn't come at the moment, so he found this earth dragon to replace him. Anyway, one is the messenger of God and the other is the guardian beast of God. What I said is a bit popular, but that's probably what it means."

I understand what Lantern Festival means, "You want to say that there is a temporary change in the great wizard, so I have to use a land dragon to replace him?"

Wen Mo immediately denied our thoughts, "This is absolutely impossible. Burial is not a joke. Even the Huns, whose culture was behind the Qin Dynasty, attached great importance to such things. How could such a ridiculous thing be allowed to happen?"

Yuanxiao probably felt that Wen Mo said his thoughts were absurd and a little dissatisfied, so she said to Wen Mo: "Boss, you say this is impossible for me, so what's going on?"

Wen Mo said: "Actually, this is very simple. Since there will be no mistakes when burial, now that we have seen such a situation, there is only one explanation, that is, the corpse here has been replaced!"

Wen Mo's words made a chill flash in my heart. Since I entered this Qin Mausoleum, I felt a strange feeling in my heart. This feeling was completely different from the feeling of the ancient tomb of Qilian Mountain. On the Qilian Mountains, we experienced some things done by our ancestors, which brought us more shock and confusion. Here, the entire tomb gave me a feeling like a huge trap, full of conspiracy mechanisms and various phenomena that violate common sense, and behind these, there are signs of human manipulation. Just like what Uncle Er said, I think it is very appropriate. This is a game spanning thousands of years.

I asked, "So who replaced the body? Or what is his purpose of doing this?"

Wen Mo shook his head for my question. Actually, I understand that no one can answer my question except the parties involved a thousand years ago. Wen Mo continued: "Maybe we can find the answer when we find the original owner of this coffin, that is, the great shaman wizard."

I smiled bitterly and shook my head, saying, "Maybe." As soon as I finished speaking, I suddenly heard a strange sound, as if something had been dragged. I turned my head to the others and found that everyone was looking at each other in front of me, as if everyone had heard this sound.

At this moment, the strange sound rang again, "Is there any movement! What sound?" Zhou Cheng drew his pistol and looked around vigilantly.

We turned our eyes to the inside of the coffin, my heart was already in my throat, and then the sound rang again. Fortunately, there was nothing unusual in the coffin. But it also made me even more confused about the source of the sound.

Just when I was puzzled, Yuanxiao suddenly screamed: "Damn! The corpse in front of the coffin moved!"

We used a flashlight to see that the corpse had indeed changed its posture, and the body became more forward, and in an extremely strange posture, the body became extremely twisted. Some things in the pocket of the top fell out, including a pen, flashlight, compass and some other things. However, this little black book caught my attention, and I carefully picked it up with a short knife, and from the font sunken on the cover, it was a work permit.

Yuanxiao asked softly: "What should we do?"

The second uncle waved his hand, "Don't worry, let's take a look!" So several pairs of eyes all looked at the corpse with great concern.

I looked at the work permit in my hand and found that it might be because of the water. One page was stuck together. I carefully opened the first page and found that the pen handwriting on it had been somewhat melted. I carefully identified it and could see that the person's information was written in several columns above. My name was Yue Yingsong, and the work permit number was six digits, but the last three digits could not be seen clearly. I knew that it was a man without looking at the gender. I could not see clearly the date of birth. My work unit was Ocean University. When I saw this, a thought suddenly flashed through my mind. Could it be... I quickly continued to look down. In the column below, the position was: Professor of Geology.

When I saw this, my mind was like a thunder sounding, which made my mind buzz. Now I know the identity of this person. I have heard of his name in Qilian Mountains, and I have never seen him. A coincidence made me discover his trace, which was also based on the clues he left behind. I can now say his real name without a doubt, and he is Huangshan!
