Chapter 583: The Woman in the Tomb

"Oh mom, what's going on? Why are there so many? Boss Jiang kept using the torch in his hand to drive away the big black beetle that was approaching. One of them climbed on the surface of his feet, and even bit through his pure cowhide riding boots in one bite, so frightened that he quickly opened the little play, and retreated again and again.

"Not good! It's a corpse cockroach! What about gasoline? Won't I let you prepare? "Ma Chengfeng knows this little bug. This game should not look small, but it can be extremely lethal. They are like termites that will swarm their prey when they find it, crawling all over the prey, even if it is a cow, they can gnaw you into a skeleton in an instant. Their front crow is poisonous, and if they are bitten, they will immediately fall to the ground under anesthesia.

This game should not be made up, it is real in the ancient tomb. It is said that no one has ever caught a corpse cockroach alive since ancient times. Usually the corpse insects are used by the tomb owners to protect their tombs. It was first introduced to China from some Arab countries in the West. The ancient tombs of the Han people are rarely used, but they are often found in the ancient tombs of some ethnic minorities in the northwest and northeast.

This stone figurine is not a stone, and the ancient ethnic minorities were rude. The nobles paid attention to cremation when they died, and they all had some very special attendants in their families, who were fine clothes and food since childhood, but they lived a slave-like life and had no freedom at all. There is only one purpose in their lives, to wait for the death of their master and to bury him.

Before the owner dies, they will take a very special food, which contains a large number of corpse eggs. After taking it for a few days in a row, the owner almost burped. Then there are craftsmen who paste mud on them like terracotta warriors and horses, make them into the shape of stone figurines, and place them in the ancient tomb for the burial of the tomb owner.

Of course, the process of making the figurines was painless, because they took corpse eggs, which were already poisonous, which could paralyze their nerves and make them breathe without realizing it, and their limbs would not change.

A large number of corpse eggs slowly hatched out with the help of human shells, and then they would be stored in the shells of human figurines for thousands of years, eating up the flesh and blood of the parasitic body, and then entering a state of suspended animation. Once a tomb robber breaks into the tomb and destroys the stone figurines, they will "break out of the cocoon" to protect the tomb owner and attack the tomb robbers. These corpse insects cannot see the sun, and as soon as they leave the ancient tomb, they will immediately turn into a pool of blood, so even biologists have not caught corpse insects alive for so many years.

Ma Chengfeng took the gasoline bottle, unscrewed the lid and threw out a big arc around them, and then quickly lit it with a match. The fire burst into flames, and the body fluids in the body of the corpse cockroach contained flammable substances, and the corpse cockroaches that pounced on them immediately turned into small fireballs, infecting one by one, and in an instant, even the figurines that had been smashed in the head just now were also engulfed by the flames.

Although he was lucky enough to save the day, Ma Chengfeng still has palpitations now, if it weren't for the corpses of his own people, I'm afraid that a few of them would have become bones now. Moreover, there are many such stone figurines scattered in this ancient tomb and burial chamber, and if they all crawl out, they may not have enough gasoline.

"Everyone, be careful! The next time you see the stone figurines, don't owe it, it's not a joke to be bitten by this play. Let's go, look ahead. Ma Chengfeng waved his hand and signaled everyone to continue to maintain the formation just now.

Passing through the epitaph on the stone platform, and then walking back, I saw more than twenty dead corpses lying under my feet, all of which were the horse gang brothers who had accompanied Yun Qiang before. They still maintained their movements and expressions before they died, some held their guns to pull the trigger, some opened their mouths wide and probably wanted to exclaim, and some even pulled their companions' arms as if they wanted to drag their companions back from danger, but none of this mattered, what they encountered killed them all in an instant. Ma Chengfeng suddenly remembered a Western mythological story, in which there was a Medusa, and as long as the snake girl's eyes saw whomever she saw, she would immediately turn into a stone statue.

This group of people also had chapped skin all over their bodies, which should have been caused by the mysterious figure. Everyone couldn't help but gasp when they saw the scene in front of them, and all their energy was concentrated on the field of vision, for fear that the mysterious figure would rush out of the corner again.

This underground mausoleum should not be very large, there is no ear chamber in the four places, and the four sides are empty except for those human figurines with a large number of corpse cockroaches parasitic in their bodies. As they stepped into the mist, the scene in the burial chamber was taken into view.

The burial chamber is rectangular, narrow on the left and right, long up and down, as if it were a square box, and the figurines of those who accompany the burial will appear at intervals on the left and right. The expressions of the figurines are also very different, their forms are very different, but their expressions all look sad, and the death is mourning for the owner of the tomb.

"Hey, look, why is there a woman here?" Elder Jiang shouted.

Following the direction of his finger, he saw a female stone figurine sandwiched between the two rows of stone figurines on the left and right, and the woman's graceful figure and twin peaks loomed. She was dressed in a colorful feather jade robe, like a fairy in the sky. It's just that face...... How to describe it? The facial features of this face are not ugly, the eyes, nose, eyebrows, mouth, all of them are very exquisite. But for some reason, coming together to form this face makes people look indescribably awkward.

Her expression was extremely complicated, like laughing, crying, angry and mourning...... His hands are still clasped together and placed on his chest. If she was also a living figurine, then her death method would probably be different from that of other male figurines who accompanied the burial.

This woman's dress is different from other burial figurines, and her dress is very in line with the characteristics of the heavenly fairy in ancient Taoist legends in China. Ma Chengfeng guessed that the appearance of this figurine here was no accident, and there must be some unknown claims in it. Because in all large tombs, the soldiers and soldiers who accompany the burial must be men, and the maids or the concubines and princesses of the tomb owners will appear in the burial pit of the people in the ear chamber.

We have almost reached the end of the burial chamber, and beyond that is a separate burial chamber. The tombs of the ancient ethnic minorities in our country are very peculiar, in fact, this is already the main burial chamber, but there is a tomb in the tomb, the burial chamber is not big, and it can only be buried into a coffin. It was pitch black inside, and nothing could be seen. The female figurine appeared on the left side of the door to the burial chamber, but the right side was empty.

That is to say, among all the burial figurines in the entire ancient tomb, the innermost is this female figurine. But the ancient funeral system was very strict, and everything that accompanied the funeral was paid attention to in pairs, why was there only one female figurine at the door of the burial room?
