Chapter Thirty-Nine - Bronze Corpse
I roughly guessed what Gai Wancheng meant, but I was still a little unsure.
Then he asked: "What are you talking about?"
Gai Wancheng said: "I just asked Cheng Cheng boldly. He said that the Zhali people do not have this custom, so I dare to conclude that the Zhali people chose the roots of the willow tree as the coffin. It must be the same sacred willow they eat.
It is inseparable from my heart. Perhaps the roots of the sacred willow can inhibit the onset of the disease? Or maybe placing the corpse among the roots of the willow tree will not transform it?"
At the end of the sentence, Gai Wancheng shook his head and sighed: "I'm a little unsure too. If I can't afford to take a closer look at the coffin, I don't know why."
After listening to what Gai Wancheng said, I nodded, and then I turned to look at Li Kun and Du Jun, and said, "Dalong, Du Jun, you two come up first and stand behind Li Kun and us.
The two of us, Lao Li, will lift up the coffin. If the corpse in this coffin is still a fish-scale mummy, we must be extremely prepared. If the corpse is lifted up, we will shoot directly."
After speaking, Hu Dalong and Du Jun nodded.
Then Gai Wancheng and Captain Fang took a few steps back, and the people below all raised their guns and stood on guard.
I said to Xu Tian: "Old Xu, crowbar."
Xu Tian responded and took out the crowbar from his backpack.
Then Li Kun and we stood on both sides of the top of the tree root, one on the left and the other on the right.
Because the entire coffin was inside the stone wall, Li Kun and we could only poke our heads in first.
This way of opening the coffin made Li Kun and I extremely awkward. The gap in the coffin lid was only about half a meter.
Li Kun and we could only aim the crowbar at the gap in the coffin lid first, and then Li Kun nodded to me to indicate that he was ready.
Then the two of us leaned out, both of us pressing our chins against the stone wall and looking up with our heads raised.
I said: "One, two, three, press!"
After finishing speaking, Li Kun and our two arms both exerted force, and then the two people behind me saw that the coffin lid inside suddenly opened a gap.
At this time, Li Kun and I had already exerted all our strength, but the coffin lid was actually extremely strong, as if it had grown to death.
Seeing that the coffin lid stopped moving, Li Kun and we could only let go temporarily.
Li Kun and we both waved our hands, and Li Kun said: "Damn, why is this coffin lid so strong? We brothers can't open it even with so much force."
With that said, Li Kun inserted the crowbar into the coffin lid where the gap had been exposed again.
I quickly raised my hand to stop Li Kun and said, "It's too tiring to open the coffin like this."
As I said that, I turned my head and looked at where everyone was below. Then I pointed to a stone next to Saji and said, "Saji, hand me that stone."
Saji was stunned after hearing what I said, but he still followed my instructions and picked up the stone with both hands and handed it to me.
Li Kun saw me like this and asked: "Old Liu, are you planning to throw rocks at me?"
I laughed out loud without squatting down, and Xu Tian behind me also laughed.
Then Xu Tian said: "Old Liu, haven't you heard of the principle of leverage?"
After listening to Xu Tian's words, Li Kun reacted and then placed the stone on the coffin lid.
Then the crowbar was inserted into the gap in the coffin lid again, and the stone was placed on top of the crowbar.
As Li Kun exerted force with his arms, he was almost riding on the crowbar.
After everyone heard a few squeaking sounds, I grabbed the top of the crowbar with both hands, and with both hands, the coffin lid suddenly opened.
The moment he saw the coffin lid open, Li Kun smiled at me and said, "Your trick will work."
With that said, Li Kun looked at the crowbar in his hand, and then said: "Damn, this crowbar is bent. Is the coffin lid sealed so firmly? There was 502 glue in ancient times, right?"
I rolled my eyes, reached out and took out the stone and threw it aside. Then I said, "Okay, the coffin lid has been opened. Lao Li, let's pull the coffin lid out and see what's inside."
"
Li Kun nodded, and then the two people behind me moved to both sides, while Li Kun and we leaned in.
Both hands grabbed the groove on the coffin lid, and then the two of them exerted force on their arms, and the coffin lid in front of them was opened to a gap by the two of us.
I said: "Try hard!"
The two of them increased their strength again, and as the coffin lid in front of us slowly opened, the two people behind me raised their guns and pointed them at the coffin.
After we opened the coffin, all four of us looked inside the coffin.
But the moment we looked into the coffin, everyone was shocked.
What we saw in this coffin was not the fish-scale mummy we saw before we arrived, but a tall male corpse.
This corpse was not wearing any clothes, only a shroud was wrapped tightly around the important parts, and there was a layer of something like hemp rope wrapped around the waist to tightly trap the shroud.
There was no sign of decay on the body. What surprised everyone most was that the body in the coffin looked like a living person.
Not only did there not be any signs of decay on his body, but his bronze skin was clearly visible to everyone.
Apart from being too tall and burly, there was nothing different about the corpse. It looked just like an ordinary person.
But there was no hair on the corpse, not even an eyebrow. The entire head and skin of the corpse were quite different.
The corpse's skin was bronze, but it was pale from the neck up.
Gai Wancheng took a breath of cold air the moment he saw the corpse.
Then Gai Wancheng stared at the corpse in the coffin, and said with shock on his face: "This...this is a bronze corpse!"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked. Then I turned around and asked, "Old man, does this corpse have a name?"
Gai Wancheng hurriedly said to us: "Quick, quick! Close the lid of the coffin quickly, you must do it quickly! Otherwise we will all die when he gets up!"
Hearing this, everyone was choked by Gai Wancheng's words, and Li Kun coughed twice.
He looked at Gai Wancheng with a look of disbelief and asked: "Mr. Gai, we have been working hard for a long time to see this corpse, and now we just saw you asking us to cover it up. Isn't this just a corpse? We
With so many people and so many guns here, how can we be afraid of these copper corpses?"
After hearing what Li Kun said, Gai Wancheng became anxious. Later, Gai Wancheng actually went to battle in person to seal the coffin lid.
When I saw Gai Wancheng actually trying to climb up, I realized that the bronze corpse Gai Wancheng mentioned must have some great background.
Even if we put all our weapons together, we probably won't be able to deal with it.
Then I quickly called to the people behind me to speak to Li Kun, and said hurriedly: "Stop talking nonsense, listen to the old man, he is right, hurry up and seal the coffin!"
After listening to what I said, Gai Wancheng did not forget to urge us: "Hurry, hurry up! Otherwise it will be too late!"
But just when we were about to push the coffin lid inside, Saji, who had one foot on the edge of the tree root, suddenly exclaimed.
Then Saji's whole body fell straight down from the root of the tree.
Because our location here is on the edge of the stone wall, the foothold is only a little more than two meters away, and the stone path is still slightly tilted.
When Saji released his hands, his back immediately hit the ground first.
Then his body rolled, and his head fell straight to the ground into the dark abyss below the stone path.
This time, Captain Fang Huancheng next to Saji was frightened.
Both of them exclaimed, and then Cheng boldly grabbed Saji's thigh, and Captain Fang also stepped forward and grabbed Saji's other thigh.
Saji had already vomited it out. After two such huge shocks, Saji could no longer bear it.
But although the two of them grabbed Saji's thighs, Saji's back still hit the corner of the stone road heavily.
This blow must have been serious. Saji's back was already injured, and this blow must have added to the injury.
The sudden situation caused those of us who were preparing to seal the tube to stop.
We all breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Saji being caught by two people.
Then Gai Wancheng looked at us. Gai Wancheng thought we had already sealed the coffin lid.
But the moment Gai Wancheng turned his head, he saw that none of us had even moved. We were still grabbing the coffin lid with both hands and preparing to push it.
But at this moment, Saji's body was also pulled up by Captain Fang and Cheng Daudao.
Saji's back was already soaked with blood, but Saji's eyes were wide open at this time.
Tears were still streaming from the corners of his eyes, but Saji seemed not to feel the pain in his back at this time. After being pulled up by the two men, Saji sat down on the ground.
Then everyone saw Saji holding the ground with both hands, sitting on the ground, kicking his legs and slowly retreating, while raising his hand to point to where we were.
Amid everyone's confused expressions, Saji said something that surprised everyone.
"The corpse in the coffin has changed. It has changed its appearance. He, he, he... he is alive!"
Hearing this, Gai Wancheng jumped up, then stepped on the spot where Saji had just stepped and looked up into the coffin.
Several of us also turned our heads and looked into the coffin.
The moment we saw the body in the coffin, everyone's faces suddenly changed color.
I saw that what was just an ordinary corpse in the coffin was slowly changing, and this change was actually taking place violently at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The corpse in the coffin just now was covered in bronze, but the moment we raised our eyes to look at it, it was.
