Bai Yi looked around for the bag he had brought with him, and finally found it near the stone wall. He opened it with a look of despair on his face: "Unfortunately, there is nothing useful. It seems that we have to open the coffin with our bare hands.
"
As he spoke, he took out his gloves and gave each of them a pair: "Everyone, listen to me, Tang Sancheng, you stand aside."
"Why?" Tang Sancheng felt a little useless after being abandoned.
"You have extraordinary hearing. Stand aside. If you hear anything different when we are opening the coffin, you must remind us. Do you understand?" Bai Yi motioned to Qixie and himself to stand on the jade coffin.
At the beginning and end: "Qixie, I will call one, two, three in a moment, and we will lift the coffin lid at the same time, and then jump away to prevent the trap. After a while, it is all up to us."
Qixie understood and stood on one side of the jade coffin, while Bai Yi stood on the other side. Bai Yi started to count. When he counted to three, the two of them opened the jade coffin cover at the same time in a tacit understanding, and then covered their ears with lightning speed.
Jump away quickly...
"There's nothing, you're just scaring yourself." Tang Sancheng shook his head: "Let me see if the person lying inside is a peerless beauty."
There was no mechanism, so Bai Yi, who was always cautious, wiped the sweat from his forehead and stepped forward. The three of them were already ready to meet the terrifying corpse in the coffin. Unexpectedly, Tang Sancheng said "cut": "How could it be?"
It’s empty!”
There was only a set of Miao women's clothing, neatly placed inside, and there was no sign of a corpse at all. The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time they were a little disappointed. Tang Sancheng stretched out his hand to touch the Miao clothing, but Bai Yi immediately stopped him:
"You idiot, why can't you learn your lesson?"
The black cloth that covered the jade coffin just turned into dust at the first touch. Bai Yi was afraid that this gorgeous Miao dress would also suffer the same fate. The Miao dress in front of him was carefully spread in the jade coffin, and even the skirt was straight.
, and the cloth is very new. If you look at it from a distance, you would really think that it is a Miao beauty lying in the jade coffin. Bai Yi is trying to find a mark or inscription in the jade coffin that can confirm the identity of the owner of the jade coffin: "Strange, why?
There are only clothes? Is it a tomb?"
"What is a tomb?" Tang Sancheng was a little confused.
"A cenotaph is a tomb in which the clothes and other items of the deceased are buried, but the body of the deceased is not buried. This is because the body of the deceased cannot be found or has been buried in another place, and a cenotaph is set up here to commemorate it. The cenotaph is
A type of symbolic tombs. There are also some tombs, which do not even have clothes and are purely symbolic tombs, such as the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum." Bai Yi said strangely: "This is the costume of a Miao girl, and it is extremely gorgeous. The jade coffin
The owner must have a status among the Miao people, but why can’t the body be found or disappear?”
There are many famous tombs in Chinese history. For example, in the late Ming Dynasty, Yuan Chonghuan repeatedly defeated the Qing troops on the front line of Shanhaiguan. The Qing people used counter-intuitive tactics. Ming Chongzhen was fooled and executed Yuan Chonghuan at an early date. Soon after, the Ming Dynasty fell. Later generations pity a generation of heroes who died unjustly.
, a cenotaph was built in Beijing and still exists today. Unless there is a special reason, whose descendants would be willing to bury their ancestors in a cenotaph?
Facing this lonely jade coffin, Bai Yi had no clue. There were no burial objects inside, only a Miao dress. He was infinitely disappointed. He slapped the jade coffin with his palm. Tang Sancheng heard the sound of his palm slapping down.
Some confusion: "Strange, this sound feels hollow."
The sound is hollow, and there will be an interlayer in the middle! Bai Yi had an idea, squatted under the jade coffin, and couldn't help but curse: "A coffin within a coffin, you can really think of it!"
It turns out that this jade coffin is not one, but two, with slightly different sizes and specifications. The larger one is at the bottom, and the smaller one is at the top. They are pressed tightly together, but the sound is hollow, and there should be room in the middle.
, Bai Yi smiled bitterly: "Qixie, it's physical work again, come on!"
