Su Jin was very surprised. She was mentally prepared to be killed because of the fierce attack of the wooden cow. However, at the critical moment, it was me who took action again.
Su Jin's beautiful eyes looked directly at me, unblinking.
I was panting heavily and didn't bother to ask Su Jin if he was okay. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed the stray horse not far away grinding its hooves and getting ready to go.
Before Su Jin could recover, there was a sound of horse hoofs scraping against the ground. The flowing horse lowered its head and rushed towards Su Jin at an extremely fast speed.
I raised my eyebrows, and I quickly judged in my mind that Su Jin would not be able to dodge at all. Although she had a diamond umbrella in her hand, the impact of the flowing horse was not trivial.
Almost in an instant, at the same time as the stray horse rushed towards me, I pulled the Luoyang shovel out of the wooden cow's neck!
Immediately afterwards, I jumped from the back of the wooden cow to the flowing horse!
The horse was running fast, and I found the right opportunity. Just before the horse was about to rush towards Su Jin, I had already pierced the Luoyang shovel in my hand into the horse's neck!
My strength was strong enough, but Liu Ma's impact was also extremely strong. It was a huge collision between two extremely different forces in the lightning and flint room.
The Luoyang shovel fell, and Liu Ma's movements suddenly stopped!
But I was suddenly thrown away by its huge impact, and my whole body was thrown heavily against the bluestone wall four or five meters away...
I let out a muffled groan, my throat felt sweet, and blood flowed out of my mouth.
Su Jin ran over quickly, with a complicated look on her face.
"Chen Huafan, do you want your life?" Su Jin suddenly shouted coldly.
I was startled, it seemed like this was the first time Su Jin called my name.
"What's wrong?" I smiled bitterly.
I'm thinking about how I saved your life, but I still have to be ignored by you before I care about you.
I asked: "What's wrong?"
Su Jin's beautiful eyes flashed: "Aren't you afraid of death?"
I nodded and said with a smile: "Just kidding, who wouldn't be afraid of death?"
"You're afraid of death, so why are you so desperate to save me? You know, which man would be like you? He would risk his life at every turn!"
I said calmly: "I'm not putting myself in danger. I came in with you and you were in danger. How could I just watch and not save you... I am a man, and what I just did was just what a man should do."
"
For me, saving Su Jin just now was really out of instinct. I didn't think too much about it. My first reaction was, since Su Jin is my teammate, isn't it natural for me to save her? Not to mention, I
He is still a man and cannot do things that benefit himself at the expense of others!
Su Jin was a little lost in thought when she heard this. There seemed to be a touch of moved tears in her beautiful eyes, but after a flash, she quickly returned to her original expression.
I patted my chest. It must have been that my butt hit the wall first. Otherwise, if it were my head, it would definitely be irritating, and my brain would be shot out...
Seeing that I was fine, Su Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go into the main tomb." I said.
I showed a carefree smile and walked straight to the main tomb chamber, with Su Jin following closely behind.
The pair of wooden cows and stray horses just now were obviously left by Zhuge Liang to guard Huang Yueying's tomb. Now that they were dealt with, I couldn't wait to see if the Blood Compass was really in the main tomb chamber.
The overall internal space of Huang Yueying's tomb is not large, and it adopts the shape of two main tombs on both sides that is almost impossible to see in ancient noble mausoleums. No, no matter which dynasty in ancient times, no such a nobleman would build such a simple one.
The tomb contains not even a single bit of gold, silver, or jewelry.
Like the style of the entire tomb, the main chamber of Huang Yueying's tomb is also a simple tomb, but the interior is designed quite like an ancient room.
The pear wood dressing table, mahogany table top, and even the tables and stools placed in the corners are all made of fine wood...
I glanced around, but couldn't see any trace of the Blood Compass.
I looked towards the innermost part of the main tomb. There, there was a simple coffin quietly placed. From the color, I could tell that the coffin was also made from the yellow-skinned fruit tree. It was also covered with a patchwork coat.
Although the cloak is very old, you can vaguely feel that it was carefully sewn stitch by stitch.
Although the cloak is old, it is also a priceless treasure from the predecessors.
I carefully picked up the cloak and put it aside, then glanced at Su Jin, and together we opened the coffin.
I took off my cloak and placed it on the coffin lid. My pupils suddenly shrank and I saw a large number of wooden nails nailed on it.
I was startled subconsciously, and even Su Jin's little face showed a bit of disbelief!
"Why are there so many wooden nails?" Su Jin exclaimed.
I was also very surprised. Such a beautiful coffin should not have so many wooden nails.
In my impression, according to custom, some nails are indeed put on the lid of a general coffin. Those who are rich use gold, silver and jade nails, and those who have no money use copper, iron and wood nails.
But these nails are often used for decoration and to comply with customs. It is rare for someone to nail so many wooden nails on a coffin. This is undoubtedly a great disrespect for the deceased.
If this mausoleum was designed by Zhuge Liang, it stands to reason that he would have no reason to put so much on his wife's coffin. Unless there was something unusual in the coffin, Zhuge Liang would do it in order to prevent her from seeing the light of day.
in this way.
I stared at the coffin, puzzled.
Huang Yueying's tomb is very simple, without any valuable gold, silver, jewelry or burial objects. Only this coffin seems a bit mysterious.
Su Jin looked at me and said, "Should we open it or not?"
I thought for a moment and said: "Open!"
Having come here, I am naturally not the kind of person who returns empty-handed.
Although things were a little strange, the temptation of the Blood Compass still defeated my caution.
I took out my folding knife and pulled out the wooden nails on the coffin one by one...
These wooden nails are all made of top-grade peach wood, with a light inner red color. It is said that only the Donghai generation has such pure color peach wood. Just one tree is worth hundreds of thousands. Unexpectedly, today
Here, it was used as a wooden peg by Zhuge Liang.
Peach wood has the effect of warding off evil spirits and suppressing demons. When I use it to make wooden nails, I vaguely feel that something is wrong...
Su Jin's face showed a bit of caution, and his little hands unconsciously tightened a bit on the diamond umbrella.
About seven or eight minutes later, I had already pulled out the last wooden nail on the coffin. I roughly counted, and I found that this coffin, which was less than two meters long, had a total of 7,749 peach wood nails.
I squinted my eyes and stared at the yellow leather coffin.
I used a folding knife to gently open a gap at the junction between the coffin lid and the inner coffin to test it. When there was still no movement in the coffin, I felt slightly relieved.
"Am I too cautious?" I thought to myself.
I paused and decided to do it all!
I turned the folding knife and opened the lid of the entire coffin.
The coffin lid fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.
And in the midst of this sound, I saw in the coffin, in addition to a pair of weathered white bones, there was also an unclearly visible corpse of a man lying next to it...
