The red bird was stunned when he heard this, "This is wrong. After so long, it should have turned into a pile of bones. Moreover, although the clothes on this man's body are ancient costumes, they should have turned into powder after so long.
.”
Yang Xuan nodded slightly after hearing this, "Under normal circumstances, after two hundred years, the body will indeed turn into a pile of bones, and the clothes on it will turn into powder."
"The reason why I can conclude that this mummy is at least two hundred years old is because the clothes on his body belong to the Ming Dynasty style more than two hundred years ago."
"The environment and air here, although the air here does not have the conditions to prevent a corpse from rotting and only drying into a mummy, there are some dark purple lines on the back of this person's hands, similar to water ripples."
"This kind of ripples will obviously not appear on a normal person. It can only mean that this person took some special medicinal materials before or after coming here, which caused his body to dry and not rot.
"
Cardinal looked carefully at the back of the mummy's hand, and sure enough, he saw some dark purple textures like water ripples on the back of the hand.
“But even so, ancient clothing styles can be purchased now, so maybe this medicinal material could have been taken not long ago?
This doesn’t mean that this mummy is more than two hundred years old.”
After hearing this, Yang Xuan nodded slightly, "You are right, many things can be imitated, but there is one thing that cannot be imitated."
With that said, Yang Xuan pointed to the finger position of the mummy and said, "Clean up the dust here first, be careful not to damage it."
Cardinal was particularly interested in this kind of thing, and he quickly and carefully knelt down, blowing a breath to blow away the dust around the fingers of the mummy.
"Yeah, what do you think this is?"
After blowing away the dust, Lin Qing suddenly discovered that there were strange patterns underneath the fingers of the mummy.
The pattern is not like words, but more like some kind of symbol, somewhat similar to a bow and arrow, but the arrow part is curved.
The entire symbol is about the size of a palm.
Incredibly, the finger of this mummy was inserted into the last stroke of this symbol.
In other words, this symbol was carved out of the hard rock ground by this person with the power of his fingers!
Yang Xuan explained, "Judging from the weathering marks on this symbol, it is definitely not forged, so this is enough to prove that this mummy was indeed left at least two hundred years ago."
Hongque nodded and exclaimed, "I didn't expect this person to be able to carve such a symbol on the rock with his fingers. It shows that his cultivation level is similar to mine, and he is still a martial artist."
Yang Xuan shook his head and said, "His cultivation should be higher than yours."
"ah?"
The red bird was a little unconvinced and said, "How is this possible? I can also carve words on rocks with my fingers. If you don't believe me, I will carve it for you right now. I will carve Yang Xuan a lump..."
"Can you calm down a little bit?"
Yang Xuan had a black line on his forehead. He couldn't figure out how this little girl's brain circuits were developed. She was still struggling at this time.
And even if you want to engrave words, what's not good about engraving, you have to engrave yourself as a daddy?
"I know you can also carve words with your fingers, but things are different, okay!"
Yang Xuan pointed at the mummy and said, "Judging from the posture of this mummy, he must have experienced something terrible before his death, and he was also severely injured."
"After escaping here in a hurry, I collapsed from exhaustion. At the last moment when I was dying, I carved this symbol with my fingers."
"With your skills, it is not difficult to carve words on rocks with your fingers, but can you still do it when you are seriously injured and dying?"
After hearing this, Cardinal suddenly became unhappy and said, "Tsk, you act like you understand everything. Since you are so awesome, then you have the ability to tell me what this symbol means!"
Yang Xuan smiled lightly and said, "I really know this. This symbol means that there is danger ahead, and it reminds colleagues who come here to evacuate quickly."
After hearing this, Hongque laughed and said, "I said that even if you make it up randomly, you should at least make up a reliable story. These are ancient people from at least two hundred years ago. It's not like he knows us, so he can still stay here."
What does the symbol tell us to retreat?”
Yang Xuan shook his head and said, "He is not talking to us, but to his colleagues."
"Come with us?"
Cardinal looked puzzled and asked, "Do you know what this person does?"
Yang Xuan looked at the symbol on the ground and said, "If I guess correctly, this person's identity should be a professional gold-touching captain, your favorite tomb robber."
"ah?
He's a tomb robber, how did you know?"
Cardinal said in surprise.
Yang Xuan sighed softly and explained, "The reason is very simple. The reason why this man's clothes are still intact after more than two hundred years is because his clothes are made of a plant called hemp vine.
It is woven from rhizomes."
"The silk threads extracted from the rhizomes of the vine are very hard. In addition to being extremely tough, the clothes woven can also resist some miasma and adjust their temperature in special environments."
"A truly professional tomb robber will wear this kind of clothes every time he goes to a big tomb."
"However, this plant is very rare, and weaving a piece of hemp vine requires a large amount of it."
"So this kind of clothes is very precious. Those who are qualified to wear this kind of clothes are the top masters in the tomb robbing world."
"It can be inferred from this that this man had a very high status in the world of tomb robbers during his lifetime. If my inference is correct, if you turn him over, there should be a gold-touching talisman made of pangolin claws around his neck."
The red bird was confused after hearing this, and curiously turned the mummy over carefully, and sure enough, she saw a dark purple gold-touching talisman made of pangolin claws on its neck!
"It's really a golden talisman!"
Hongque was happy and surprised at the same time, "I once read a tomb robbing novel written by a man named Uncle San, and it mentioned touching the golden talisman."
"I thought he was making up nonsense at the time, but I didn't expect such a thing to exist. Why does Third Uncle know this if he writes a book?"
Yang Xuan also knew who the writer named Sanshu mentioned by Hongque was, and had read the famous tomb-robbery novel he wrote before.
Moreover, Yang Xuan also knew that in addition to being a writer, the man named Sanshu had another hidden identity that was unknown to the public.
"This involves other people's privacy, so it's not convenient for me to tell you, but you just need to understand that the guy named Uncle San is becoming more and more 'judgmental'."
After saying that, Yang Xuan let out a long sigh and said, "Okay, now is not the time to talk about this. Let's turn back the way we came."
"ah?"
Cardinal asked in confusion, "Why? We haven't found the tomb yet, and we have to go back now!"
Yang Xuan sighed lightly, "This tomb robber from at least two hundred years ago indirectly saved our lives."
After hearing this, Cardinal became even more confused, "Save us?
