Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Chapter 51 Human Skin, Bronze Jar

Grandpa Tuo hated the two-clawed snake to death.

I was parasitized by it and sucked my blood for more than 40 years, and I almost lost my life.

This would make the barely breathing Camel Master look at the snake, and he naturally didn't want to do that.

I lifted the clothes on Camel's back and wanted to check the injury and bandage it first. I couldn't let him bleed to death.

When the clothes were lifted up, a huge bloody hole was seen.

The flesh between Camel Uncle's shoulder blades and the back of his heart was rotten, and the bloody mess was unbearable to look at.

I don’t know how to bandage such a big wound.

"Don't look at it, only Black Tai Sui's slime can save me."

"What's Meng Jianshe's situation like now?"

Only then did I remember Meng Jianshe who was dragged into the coffin.

It was very quiet in the coffin, without a sound at all.

I don’t know if the black mucus is digesting and absorbing his body.

Hiss!

The two-clawed snake hissed at me, then turned its head to look at the coffin.

Is it pointing me to the coffin?

I looked cautiously into the coffin.

Bubbles kept coming out of the dark slime, and something floated up among the bubbles.

These are Meng Jianshe’s clothes.

Do not!

There is also Meng Jianshe’s skin!

His skin was intact, but the flesh, bones, and internal organs beneath the skin were all gone!

The entire skin and clothing were floating on the black slime.

I couldn't help but think of Painted Skin.

But the painted skin is a ghost peeling off the skin of a person and wearing it on his body

The thing in the coffin ate up Meng Jianshe's flesh, leaving only the skin.

Is this like eating grapes and spitting out the skins?

Or is it that the black slime is particularly picky about food and thinks that skin that has been exposed to wind and sun is not tasty?

Hiss!

The snake hissed again.

The mucus in the coffin was churning and rolling, flowing into the eyes, ears, mouth and nose along the skin.

Soon the skin expanded like a balloon!

Oh my God!

I watched in disbelief.

The skin turned into the appearance of a living person again, exactly the same as Meng Jianshe just now!

and many more!

The carving on the wall of the sarcophagus shows Bi Gong drinking the black Tai Sui mucus and turning into a pool of water, and then the Nuo master put on his skin and clothes to replace him.

The content of the carving is exactly the same as the scene before our eyes!

All the black mucus poured into Meng Jianshe's body, and he opened his eyes after a moment.

There wasn't a trace of white in those dark eyes!

Those eyes stared at me intently, and all the hairs on my body stood up.

grunt.

He swallowed hard and gripped the butcher knife tightly with both hands.

The strong stimulation made my adrenaline surge, and the previous feeling of powerlessness and weakness disappeared.

It feels like the last bit of life force is being squeezed out.

"Meng Jianshe, don't move."

Cui Hao followed up at some point, holding the hunting rifle that Meng Jianshe had dropped on the ground.

Although he was holding the gun, his arms were shaking.

"Brother, retreat quickly."

"Where can we retreat to? We can't get out. Maybe Meng Jianshe is the key to getting out."

I took a deep breath and said to Meng Jianshe, "Jianshe, do you recognize us?"

He ignored me and seemed to have no idea what I was saying.

hiss!

The two-clawed snake hissed at me and leaped towards the second-floor platform opposite.

Bronze mirrors, bone combs and other daily necessities were placed on the second-level platform, but strangely, a bronze jar was placed in the middle.

Lei is a wine container and is also used as a ritual vessel.

But the bronze ritual vessels such as bronze tripods, gui, li, yan, and pots used as burial objects were all placed on the other side.

Only the bronze jar and daily necessities were left there.

This is a bit weird no matter how you look at it.

A two-clawed snake coiled on top of the bronze jar, hissing at me continuously.

It was like asking me to go over and open the bronze jar.

"Haozi, keep an eye on Meng Jianshe. I'll go over and take a look."

"Okay, be careful."

Cui Hao pointed a gun at Meng Jianshe in the coffin, his finger halfway on the trigger.

I walked towards the bronze jar.

The two-clawed snake raised its body and gestured with its claws, as if asking me to open the lid of the jar.

I grabbed the bronze jar by its handles and shook it gently to see if there was anything inside.

But when I exerted force, the bronze jar didn't move at all.

I froze for a moment.

There's something in this thing!

And it’s not light in weight!

I don't know if it contains wine or something else.

I tried harder, but still couldn't move it.

Finally, he used all his strength to make the bronze jar shake slightly.

As it shook, a collision sound came from the bronze jar.

Boom!

The sound was heavy and ancient, like the ringing of a big bell.

The two-clawed snake seemed to roll its eyes and kept making upward movements with its claws.

It really makes me open the lid of the bronze jar.

I grabbed the lid and pushed hard, and it opened without much effort.

There is another bronze jar inside the wide-mouthed bronze jar. The two bronze jars are almost the same in style, except for their sizes.

When it was opened again, there was another smaller bronze jar inside.

The ancients were quite good at playing. They put treasures in layers.

He opened four layers in succession and finally took out a palm-sized pocket bronze jar from it.

The pocket-sized bronze jar is exquisitely crafted, with delicate Taotie patterns all over its body. Most importantly, it is basically not oxidized and emits a golden glow like gold.

Many people think that bronze ware is blue in color, but this is not the case.

New bronze artifacts were all golden in color, so they were called Jijin by the ancients because they gradually changed color after thousands of years of oxidation.

Because of different oxidation environments, many rust colors will appear, such as green rust, blue rust, red rust, etc.

Therefore, the bronze artifacts we see today are basically not their original colors.

I held the pocket-sized bronze jar in my palm and looked at it carefully.

The two-clawed snake raised its head impatiently and kept hissing at me, as if asking me to give it the bronze jar.

I took two steps back.

While staring at the two-clawed snake, he prepared to open the pocket bronze jar.

I'm sure there's something in there!

And since the two-clawed snake is so anxious, there must be something good inside.

Maybe this is what they all want, black Tai Sui slime!

sizzle!

The two-clawed snake leaped up and pounced on me with its mouth wide open.

I dodged.

But it turned in the air, flew over like a boomerang, and landed on my shoulder.

Then I felt a stinging sensation in my cheek.

The two-clawed snake bit me.

"Hold!"

As soon as he cursed a word, his whole body went limp like noodles and he fell to the ground involuntarily.

Bang!

The pocket-sized bronze jar fell to the ground, the lid flew far away, and a pool of black mucus flowed out.

The two-clawed snake glared at me fiercely, then flew over and licked the black mucus.

"Brother Stone!"

Cui Hao hurried over and tried to help me up.

But I was so weak that I had no strength at all, and he couldn't move me at all.

Grandpa Tuo also came to his senses. He grabbed the ground with his hands and crawled towards the pool of black mucus.

"Give it to me, leave some for me!"

"You beast have ruined me for forty years, at least leave me some!"

Cui Hao turned his head to look at the pool of black mucus, hesitated for half a second, put me down, and reached out to pick up the pocket bronze jar.

At this time, a hand was raised from the sarcophagus, and then Meng Jianshe's head came out. He stood up shakily, as if he had not yet adapted to this body.

"Help me, help me!"

His voice was the same as Meng Jianshe's, but I had heard the same words countless times.

This is no longer Meng Jianshe!

He stared at the black slime flowing out of the pocket-sized bronze jar, and a gleam of resentment bloomed in his dark eyes.

"Don't save me!"

"They all deserve to die!"
