Tuobaling also came to the side of the coffin. The two people surrounded the coffin, so excited that they didn't know where to start.
Here, Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but lift her legs and walked over there, but was grabbed by Luo Fengtang.
Luo Fengtang said a little embarrassed: "Are we really going to help open the coffin? This is tomb robbing and disrespectful to the deceased!"
Yang Ruoqing said: "We accompanied the two of them and went through all kinds of hardships to get here. The purpose is to find the male and female swords."
"Even if the two of us don't help, they will definitely get rid of it."
"At this point, there is no way out. Moreover, being able to come here without being killed by the trap means that we are destined to be here. At worst, I won't take the gold, silver and jewelry in the coffin, just look at it."
After saying these words, Yang Ruoqing quickly ran over there.
On the one hand, I am curious. This is the first time I have done this kind of tomb robbing.
I really want to see what the scene was like inside this ancient coffin. Is it really like in the novels I read in my previous life?
On the other hand, she felt a mysterious calling and couldn't help but want to see the queen's body lying in the coffin.
Seeing that Yang Ruoqing had passed by, Luo Fengtang had no choice but to follow him.
Over there, Tuobaling and Qi Xingyun used all their strength to eat, and the outermost coffin was pushed open, revealing a coffin made of pure gold inside.
"Wow, as expected of a queen, this coffin is so majestic." Yang Ruoqing couldn't help but say.
I thought of the coffins made by my family, Lao Yangtou and Tan, when they were both in their fifties, brothers Yang Huazhong went to the mountain behind the village to cut down a big tree and came back.
At that time, all the old men and women in the village came to see it, and they were all envious that Old Yangtou and Mr. Tan would be able to sleep in such a good coffin a hundred years later.
If you compare this with the queen's coffin in front of you, I'll tell you, it's almost the same as the corpse wilderness.
"Clang!"
A loud noise pulled Yang Ruoqing back from her thoughts.
At first glance, the two men could not wait to push the golden coffin away.
"Ah? Why is there another layer inside?" Tuobaling leaned over and took a look, wondering.
Qi Xingyun said: "No hurry, come on."
The gold coffin is within the silver coffin, the silver coffin is within the copper coffin, the copper coffin is within the...
One layer after another, a total of seven layers were covered, until finally a coffin made of catalpa wood was revealed.
The coffin is engraved with the image of a phoenix dancing in the sky.
That phoenix is called lifelike.
The texture of the catalpa wood was just like that of a betel nut. Qi Xingyun raised his hand and tapped it lightly, and it produced a crisp sound that struck the gold, silver and jade, just like a musical instrument. It sounded nice, so nice!
"As expected of a queen, the standards of this funeral are just different!" Qi Xingyun, who was used to seeing grand royal scenes, couldn't help but sigh.
Tuoba Ling said: "Brother Qi, let's open the coffin!"
Qi Xingyun nodded, and the two were about to lift the coffin lid. Suddenly, Yang Ruoqing reached out and held it down.
"What's wrong with Mrs. Luo?" Qi Xingyun asked.
Yang Ruoqing said: "Wait a moment."
Then, she looked around and saw candles on the stone wall over there.
She swung the black gold soft whip in her hand and got the small piece of candle into her hand.
Then, carefully light a candle in the southeast of the coffin.
Looking at the dancing white candlelight, Qi Xingyun and the others looked at each other in confusion.
Apparently they didn't understand what she was singing about.
Yang Ruoqing said: "When we get to this tomb, if we want to open someone else's coffin and disturb someone else's sleep, and if we want to take someone else's things, we have to abide by the rules and doorways here."
"People light wax, ghosts blow out lamps."
"Once the coffin is opened, if the candle does not go out, it means the things can be taken away."
"If the candle goes out, no matter how important it is to you, you have to put it back."
"This is a contract between the living and the dead. Anyone who engages in tomb robbing for generations must abide by it. Don't ask why!"
After Yang Ruoqing finished speaking, she returned to the coffin.
He glanced at Qi Xingyun and Tuobaling: "Okay, let's open the coffin!"
The two of them recovered from her set of rules and focused on the catalpa coffin in front of them.
Then the two men nodded and worked together to finally push the coffin lid open.
As soon as the coffin lid was pushed open, a strange fragrance hit my face.
Yang Ruoqing couldn't tell what kind of spice it was. She had never smelled it in her two lifetimes.
And in this life, she was still making perfume. She often dealt with all kinds of flowers and plants, but she still had never smelled such a fragrance.
Musk?
Ice leaves?
Bodhisattva?
neither!
Could it be that the queen's body had a natural fragrance that didn't dissipate after being in this closed coffin for so long?
"Look, she's still intact!" Tuobaling's shocked voice sounded.
Yang Ruoqing came to her senses, then moved closer and looked into the coffin.
Inside the coffin, a woman lay quietly.
What she was wearing was not the queen's dragon robe, but a scarlet wedding dress.
Her hands were white and soft, and the veins on the back of her hands could be faintly seen.
On the middle finger, he wears a jade ring that symbolizes the status of the emperor.
"I seem to have seen related records about this finger ring in a book before." Qi Xingyun said.
"It's only been a hundred years since the founding of Da Qi. I heard that a hundred years ago, the world was in chaos and there were many small countries everywhere."
"Among them, there is a country called Nanguo. Nanguo was the first among these small countries to be destroyed."
"It is said that the people of the Southern Kingdom believe in wolves, and they claim to be the descendants of the wolf. The jade seals and jade rings passed down to the country are also engraved with wolf patterns."
"And the last emperor of the Southern Kingdom is said to be a female emperor."
"Could it be the person in front of me?" Qi Xingyun asked.
Tuoba Ling said: "I haven't studied much. I went to Shaolin Temple to practice martial arts when I was more than ten years old. I don't know about this aspect."
Luo Fengtang said: "I am also a rough person. I usually only read some art of war and stuff like that. However, my wife Qing'er reads more books than me. Qing'er, please tell me."
Yang Ruoqing frowned lightly and said: "Those books that Prince Yun read must be royal secrets, and we ordinary people will definitely not be able to read them."
Qi Xingyun nodded, "It is indeed a secret."
Yang Ruoqing said: "According to what Prince Yun said, maybe the person in front of us is really the last empress of the previous Southern Kingdom."
"Because our place in Mianniu Mountain has been told by the older generation that it used to be a small country."
"Hmm... So, the Southern Kingdom was the first to be destroyed among the small countries in the troubled times of the previous dynasty."
"So, if you think about it, this empress has been sleeping here for at least..."
"Two hundred years." Qi Xingyun said.
"Two hundred years? It's amazing that this corpse hasn't rotted in two hundred years." Tuobaling said with a look of shock.
Qi Xingyun nodded, his eyes falling on the silver algae mask covering the queen's face.
"It's been more than two hundred years. I really want to witness the queen's grace."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but reach out his hand to the queen's face...
