Endless Road of Corpse - C83
I thought I had remembered incorrectly or was hallucinating, and I kept scratching my head and looking around.
“Yuan, what are you doing? What are you looking for?” When San Mao and the Daoist Priest saw me like that, they asked.
“When I carried Mao Tou in, I seemed to have seen a box inside. Why did it disappear?”
“A box?” San Mao and the Daoist called out at the same time.
Just then, the difference between a professional and a non-professional appeared. The Taoist was the same as me, he also shone his flashlight to search around, but San Mao shot his light directly at Mao Tou.
“Hey …” Three… Third brother, what are you doing? “Let’s talk nicely …” Mao Tou blocked the electric light with his hand and said with a smile.
This time, even I could hear the problem. San Mao grabbed Mao Tou’s collar and suddenly raised it, causing Mao Tou’s head to smash onto the coffin lid.
“Lord Third, spare me!” Mao Tou covered his head with his hands and begged for forgiveness, “If there’s anything, we can discuss it, we can discuss it …”
“Where are the items?” San Mao shouted loudly.
Mao Tou used his baby like little finger and pointed at the backpack underneath his body.
“You brat, you dare to use any tricks in front of my eyes?” San Mao was still unwilling to let it go, he grabbed Mao Tou’s neck and pushed him up against the coffin wall, while he used his other hand to pull the knapsack towards the Daoist.
He started rummaging through his backpack like a Daoist. Two books, “Ghost Blows Out the Light”, a few candles, a dagger, a string of copper coins, a gourd …
“What is this for?” the Taoist asked in bewilderment as he held the gourd.
“PENG…” “To ward off evil.” Mao Tou’s face turned green as he was pressed down by San Mao.
“Forget it, forget it.” I patted San Mao’s hand.
“Humph!” This time, I’ll let you off. Next time, no matter how dirty your hands and feet are, I’ll see how I deal with you. I won’t even look at what I’m doing! ” San Mao let go of Mao Tou and he instantly fell to the ground, gasping heavily.
“What’s there to be so angry about!” Seeing that Taoist was still rummaging through Mao Tou’s backpack that was about the same size as the rest, San Mao went over and grabbed the backpack and then opened his mouth and took out everything out.
With a clatter, the items scattered all over the floor. Finally, a flat box the size of a book rolled out of the bag.
The box was pitch black, and it looked neither gold nor wood. It was unknown what material it was made of.
The Taoist asked curiously, “Huh?” Just as he was about to reach for the box, MaggieQ quickly reached out and grabbed the box.
“Light it up.” MaggieQ said to me in a commanding tone.
I quickly moved the light toward the box in her hand.
MaggieQ looked up and down the box in his hand. It was a box with no keyhole or lock. MaggieQ closed the gap between the top and bottom lids. With a slight push, the box was opened.
The box opened, and with a flash of white light, a milky white jade ring appeared. When I looked carefully, I saw that this jade ring was carved into the shape of a snake, and the end of the snake’s head was biting its own tail!
“Biting-tail Snake!” Both the Taoist and I exclaimed in shock,
MaggieQ didn’t seem surprised at all. He stretched out two fingers, picked up the jade ring, and stuffed it into his pocket without even looking at it.
“Eh?” “Ouch!” Mao Tou suddenly jumped up, and his head slammed into the coffin lid again. He was in so much pain that his expression distorted, and he used his hand to viciously rub his head, while saying:
“I say, little girl, you are in the wrong. It was so difficult for us to come in here and fight, but we just ran into such a good thing. How can you be so embarrassed to carry it all by yourself? Although you came in first, the damn things in the ground don’t care about first come first serve, let alone the fact that we saved you … ”
“I said Brother Yuan… San Ye … “The Dao Lord …” Mao Tou cupped his hands towards us and said: “Just now, I, Mao Tou was inexperienced, and did not do that properly, but we did do it before, if it wasn’t for me, would you guys be able to enter?”
Mao Tou took the [Ghost Blows Out the Light] book and waved it towards us: “I know that this jade artifact’s value is extremely high. One porcelain, two jade, and three bronze. I’ve heard that Hong Kong guests are queuing up for the Pan Family in Beijing. ”
“Alright, alright!” I was really speechless towards this Dwarf who had his heart set on robbing tombs. I impatiently said, “If you continue talking about robbing tombs, be careful that San Mao might capture you. He’s a police officer!”
Mao Tou was startled, and then he laughed: “Brother Yuan, stop joking, is Lord San a police officer? I’m f * * king returning the country’s security! ”
I wanted nothing more than to be covered in black lines, but San Mao also did not mind watching the show. He did not explain and just smiled at me while waving his hand helplessly: “Don’t make trouble, I’ll give you the money when we get out of here!”
Only then did Mao Tou calm down, and muttered a few words. He was not greedy for money, but his family was in great trouble, so he sat down again.
“This… “Young lady …” The Taoist finally couldn’t hold it in anymore. After scratching his head, he nervously asked MaggieQ, “Can I take a look at that thing?”
MaggieQ didn’t hesitate as he took out a jade ring from his pocket and handed it over.
I thought to myself that the girl did not seem to smile, it turned out that she was only ignorant of the affairs of the world, her heart was relatively simple.
The Daoist seemed to be surprised as well. After a slight hesitation, he took the jade ring and carefully held it in front of his eyes, observing it carefully.
At this time, I also clearly saw the jade ring. This jade ring was about the size of a wristwatch and should be made from the texture of mutton fat jade. Although it had been covered in dust for a thousand years, it still looked warm and shiny. The jade ring was completely white, and only the snake’s head looked simple and elegant with a little bit of red cinnabar qi on it. The carving of the Biting-tail Snake was also extremely exquisite, even his teeth and scales were vivid in his mind.
The Daoist looked at it for more than ten minutes. The more he looked, the more excited he became. In the end, his hands began to tremble.
“This… Is it really just some gold and stone? ” With trembling hands, the Taoist returned the jade ring to MaggieQ.
MaggieQ took the jade ring and put it back into his pocket. He smiled and nodded.
The Taoist immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.
“Ore? What is it? ” I asked in astonishment.
The Daoist leaned against the wall of the coffin, took off his glasses, rubbed his forehead, and then slowly said:
“This is from the Axis Era… “Ah, no, it might be even earlier than that. We should start from the beginning of the era of enlightenment, when humans left the obscurity …”
Then the Taoist and MaggieQ told a story that stunned all of us…
