I Took Home A Mummy - Chapter 3
The afterglow of the sun fell on the white jade coffin on the ground. The flawless white jade was glowing with white jade, and there was a low-pressure gloomy atmosphere around it, which made people dizzy.
“This jade coffin is flawless, there are no traces of manufacturing craftsmanship, and there are no gaps. It may be directly hollowed out from a huge jade stone.” Professor Jiang’s voice trembled with excitement.
“How is this possible?” Professor Yu who was standing by the side tried to suppress the surging mood in his heart. “This jade coffin is three meters long and one meter wide. If it is directly polished from a piece of jade, how big the piece of jade is.”
He couldn’t believe it. If that was the case, this white jade coffin was invaluable, no, it was priceless.
Professor Fan, who has nearly 30 years of archaeological experience, said: “I agree with Professor Jiang. I have checked it a few times. Except for the independent lid of the coffin, this jade coffin has no joints and is almost flawless. It is cut from a giant jade, not like other jade coffins, which are made of jade patches of various shapes.”
……
Although the rhetoric of several professors is different, they all show that the existence of this white jade coffin is incredible.
Jiang You You saw the white jade coffins all over there surveying, and she could not hold back her curiosity at such a distance.
“Mitang, let’s go and take a look. They seem to be discussing something.”
“Well, let’s go over.” Even though the rotten smell over there has been vain, Ning Mitang wanted to see it.
With that, the two passed through a pair of jade coffins and walked directly to the crowd.
Standing from a distance, she was just marveling at the exquisiteness of the white jade coffin. When she walked in, Ning Mitang couldn’t help but jump. She felt that the white jade coffin exuded bursts of cold air.
She looked into the white jade coffin, and the corpse lying inside was wearing an exquisite golden jade garment, and every piece of jade on it was glowing with white jade.
“This is all suet jade?” Ning Mitang couldn’t help but whisper.
“The vision is very good.” Professor Jiang glanced at her with admiration and continued: “How did you see it?”
“Every piece of jade on this jade garment has the feeling of condensing fat, with a light color of pink and white, and the texture is delicate and smooth.” This is definitely the characteristic of the top-grade suet jade.
“Who is this person? Actually, the whole jade suit is made of mutton jade, at least several thousand pieces of jade. That would cost too much money, too rich.” Jiang Youyou couldn’t help but marvel. .
Whether it is a white jade coffin or a golden jade dress made of suet jade, both are priceless treasures.
“We have not found a word of information about the ancient tomb so far.” Professor Yu said: “The huge underground palace has three floors. Not only is there no epitaph, but every item in it does not leave anything. Font.”
“The most amazing thing is that the underground palace is decorated like a royal palace with magnificent style and even more extravagant. In addition to 110 jade coffins, there are also a large number of weapons. Besides, there are no other funeral objects.” Professor Fan said.
It is reasonable to say that there should be a large number of funerary objects in such a high-standard ancient tomb, but this ancient tomb does not, except for the luxurious decoration, only a pair of jade coffins and weapons.
“Is it stolen?” Jiang Youyou asked.
Professor Fan shook his head, “We didn’t find a trace of a tomb robber. This ancient tomb should have not been opened.”
Jiang Youyou tilted her head and looked at it: “There are only weapons and corpses. These corpses are all wearing armor. They were all soldiers when they were alive?”
“Yes.”
Ning Mitang also didn’t understand. The owner of this ancient tomb only wanted soldiers to bury him. “What does he want to do? These numbers are in the army of one hundred families in ancient times.”
Ning Mitang looked at the corpse wrapped in the golden jade garment, flashed in her mind, the jade coffin, wearing the golden jade garment, all asked for the bones not to rot and to regenerate in the next life. Lead the army back to life.
Thoughts flashed by, Ning Mitang looked at these boneless bodies and smiled, showing that rebirth is a joke.
“Can I touch it?” Jiang Youyou asked, the greasy and shiny gold jade dress was so beautiful, she wanted to touch it.
“You should be careful, and there is no problem if you act lightly.” Professor Yu said.
Jiang Youyou’s white face was full of joy, she directly reached in, and carefully touched the golden jade garment, “It’s cold and slippery.” She said with a smile.
“You have to be careful, this is priceless.” Professor Jiang on the side looked frightened.
“My hands are sweating, Mitang, come and touch it.” Jiang Youyou retracted her hand and pulled Ning Mitang’s hand aside, letting her put it on the jade garment.
“I’ll do it myself.” Ning Mitang also wanted to feel it.
She bent down and approached the white jade coffin, the rancid smell coming from the coffin became stronger. She held her breath for a while, and gently touched the golden jade garment with her hand. An icy touch came, with the special warmth and delicateness of mutton jade. I dont know if its been a thousand years. As if it could condense fat.
Ning Mitang felt it carefully and gently stroked the pieces of white jade.
“how about it?”
“Very smooth, hiss…”
“What’s wrong?” Jiang Youyou asked quickly.
When Ning Mitang retracted her hand, the blood from her fingertips had dripped a lot on the jade suit.
“I was cut,” she said, looking at her fingers that were still bleeding.
“Is it serious? Stop the bleeding quickly.” Jiang You You took out the hemostatic patch from the backpack, quickly wrapped her finger, and questioned: “How can I cut it?”
Professor Jiang looked down to check the place that Ning Mitang touched just now. There was nothing sharp or notch. “There is nothing unusual.” He reached out to touch it, only feeling the warm touch, “After the Bai Yucoffin moved back. To check carefully.”
“Maybe you touched something accidentally, it doesn’t matter,” Ning Mitang said.
She felt the wound on her fingertips deep, otherwise there wouldn’t be so much blood coming out. She looked back at the gold jade garment stained with blood, her black pupils shrank and the blood was gone.
“Thousand-year-old suet jade is very slippery. As soon as the blood dripped on it, it flowed into the jade crack.” Professor Yu explained Ning Mitang’s surprised expression.
“So that’s it.” Ning Mitang was just startled, thinking her blood had been absorbed.
After looking at the white jade coffin, Professor Jiang turned to Jiang Youyou and said, “It will take a while for so many jade coffins to be transported back. Long, you go with Xiaotang first.”
Thinking that she had seen such an amazing scene today, this trip did not come in vain, and she could not help with the next thing, Jiang Youyou agreed.
At night, Ning Mitang sat on the sofa and took out the hydrogen peroxide she bought in the pharmacy. She tore off the hemostatic patch, the wound on her index finger was a centimeter long and a bit deep, and the edges of the wound were a bit red and swollen on both sides, obviously inflamed.
She didn’t know what she touched at the time, and she bleeds all at once. After she wiped it with cotton dipped in hydrogen peroxide, she didn’t care too much.
The next day Jiang Youyou had a heat stroke. Professor Jiang strictly forbids her to leave the hotel and must rest well.
“Then you can listen to Professor Jiang and stay in the hotel to rest.” Ning Mitang was talking on the phone with Jiang Youyou while typing.
“Hey, I still want to go inside the underground palace to check it out today, but I didn’t expect…”
“Wait when you’re done, then follow the archaeologists in. Anyway, the underground palace is there, and you can’t run.” Ning Mitang looked at the screen, her white fingers tapping on the keyboard quickly.
“It can only be so. By the way, the jade coffin has been transported back overnight. Today the experts processed the jade garments in the white jade coffin. After opening it, do you know what you see?”
Ning Mitang just wrote that there was a misunderstanding between Ye Qing and Gu Cheng. At this time, she was aroused by Jiang Youyou, her thoughts stopped, and she stopped, and asked, “What do you see?”
Jiang Youyou’s surprised voice came over on the phone, “Mummy!” When she heard it, she felt incredible.
“mummy?”
“Yes, isn’t it unbelievable? The corpse wrapped in the golden jade garment was not damaged or rotted, and the whole body was completely wrapped in a white bandage. It was amazing.” Jiang Youyou paused, “Our mummies in ancient times? History? Isnt there only one person?”
Ning Mitang nodded and found that the other party could not see, and replied: “Yes, I didn’t expect that the owner of this ancient tomb was also. However, according to the ancients, there was a jade coffin, and the same thing in the jade garment of gold was already Enough.”
“It can be seen how the owner of this ancient tomb is afraid of death? How much he wants to resurrect?” Jiang Youyou teased, “A three-pronged approach is useless. After thousands of years, he still lay there.”
“There is no rebirth or resurrection in the world.” Ning Mitang smiled and shook her head.
Although it has entered October, the weather will change when it changes. During the day, the sun is still violent, the temperature is hot, and at night, it suddenly becomes dark clouds and storms.
Ning Mitang hurried to close the window in the living room. The rain was too heavy, and the big raindrops fell down. When the windows were closed, half of her body was already wet. Ning Mitang didn’t plan to change clothes anymore, so she took a shower.
When lying on the bed at night, she finished reading the readers comments, put down the phone in her hand, and looked out through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The big tree on the other side of the road was knocked and swayed, and the sound of rain was also disturbing. The rain is getting bigger and bigger… her consciousness is dim. Before going to bed, she thought of Jiang Youyou going to the underground palace to watch it again and died.
In the middle of the night, Ning Mitang was awakened by a cold breath.
She felt very ice and cold on her feet, as if she had invaded the cold lake, and her body shook a few times subconsciously.
A faint yellow light was turned on at the head of the bed, Ning Mitang’s consciousness was vague, her eyes were sleepy, and she opened slightly. She wanted to reach out and pull the thin quilt under her feet. But when he moved his gaze to the foot, Du saw a tall black shadow. In an instant, she was so frightened that she woke up, her whole body was in a cold sweat, her hands and feet were numb, and a heart was beating so hard that she wanted to jump out of her throat.
The wind was still blowing fiercely outside, and the showers kept falling.
Ning Mitang’s hands and feet were cold, and she saw the dark shadow moving toward her through the glimmer. Cannot wait any longer, Ning Mitang sat up suddenly and saw the other’s head.
The black pupils shrank rapidly, and their eyes were full of panic.
She saw…
Sombra’s entire head was wrapped in bandages, so scary.
“you……”
Before speaking, Ning Mitang felt her fingertips being caught by something cold, and then she fainted with a pain.
