I saw that Gu Xinlie and the other three were not panicked by the coughing sound, so they didn't say anything.
They just thought they were hallucinating.
Then, I turned my attention to the child in the coffin.
Judging from the child's death appearance, I guessed that he was drowned or poisoned.
At this time, I couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness in my heart.
In ancient times, there were countless examples of people being buried with people before they were adults.
As the saying goes, the most miserable thing is the emperor's house.
"Master Lin, this child is the son of Song Qing."
At this time, Wang Jiangqian picked up a gold jewelry in the coffin, looked at me and asked.
I shook my head and said, "It can't be his own son.
These five ghosts are trying to steal the life-long fortune of the person in the coffin and graft it onto himself.
I don't think Song Qing will be able to use it no matter how ruthless he is."
My own son will be here to accompany the coffin."
Although I had some doubts in my heart when I said this, I have always felt that even the most ruthless person would not do such a thing.
There are many burial objects in this coffin, but without exception, they are all gold products, not even porcelain.
According to common sense, burial objects with such a uniform texture are actually a bit abnormal.
Since the Xia Dynasty, the so-called burial method of living people, animals, daily utensils, and gold, silver, and jade has been in existence.
This burial method continued until the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
In the early Warring States Period, the trend of lavish burials was prevalent.
After death, a large number of slaves and some artifacts they had kept in captivity were buried.
Some clues can be seen from the tomb of Song Banqiao.
Generally speaking, there are strict plans for the burial utensils, which are usually the utensils used by the tomb owner during his lifetime.
The burial objects in the coffin are often the coffin owner's favorite jewelry and jade jewelry during his lifetime.
These are not things that can be thrown away casually.
In the Sui and Tang dynasties, some people even specialized in producing this kind of burial objects, also known as Ming ware, and named them "Ji Si".
The three-colored horses and tomb-suppressing beasts of the Tang Dynasty all came from this.
As for why people should place funerary objects after death, this is also very particular.
In ancient times, ordinary civilians and ordinary people from ordinary families would not and could not place funerary objects.
This kind of coffin is said in the jargon of coffin touchers.
It is a "mao coffin", which is a coffin with nothing.
Only the coffins and tombs of princes, nobles and emperors will have a large number of funerary objects placed in them.
This is to ensure that the status after death is consistent with that during life.
For example, the terracotta warriors and horses in Qin Shihuang's mausoleum and countless gold and silver jewelry.
In fact, it is not impossible for these things not to be buried with Qin Shihuang.
However, there was only one thing Qin Shihuang wanted to do at that time. , that means living as an emperor and dying as an emperor.
The coffin in front of us is all filled with gold jewelry, and the body in the coffin is just a child of two or three years old, which is a bit confusing.
Logically speaking, there is no need to place burial objects in such a coffin.
No matter how rich Song Qing was, he would not be so squandering, which made me fall into deep thought for a moment.
But at this moment, the baby's body in the coffin suddenly changed.
The originally purple skin instantly turned extremely pale.
Purple-blue dried blood vessels could even be seen under the skin, and the baby's eyes began to protrude outward.
From the beginning, bright red blood flowed out, and the lips that were originally normal turned extremely scarlet.
Just when the four of us were still surprised, the baby's body began to grow a layer of green down at an extremely fast speed. evil Dead I yelled something bad and took two steps back.
Gu Xinlie, Wang Jianggan, and Hua Baozi also stepped back as fast as they could.
Suddenly, a burst of green energy suddenly surged out of the coffin, and then, a small hand suddenly grabbed the edge of the coffin, and a zombie less than a foot long appeared in front of us in an instant.

"What is this, Mao Zheng?"
I shouted without even turning my head, staring at the green-haired baby standing in the coffin.
The corpse transformed so suddenly.
In less than a minute, the originally peaceful baby corpse instantly turned into the zombie it looks like now.
Fortunately, the four of us moved quickly enough.
If it had been a few seconds later, the little rice dumpling would have ripped out the heart with its claws.
"It's an evil spirit.
Don't chop off its head.
Try to chop off its limbs.
This thing will die as soon as its head is chopped off.
A burst of corpse energy will explode from the body.
None of us can bear it.
If it doesn't work, we will all turn into rice dumplings."
After Leopard finished speaking, he took out his machete and got ready to attack.
Gu Xinlie did not pull out the long black knife, but pulled the paratrooper knife out of his boot.
Wang Jianggan and I chose to use mountaineering pickaxes to protect ourselves.
It's too late, but it's soon.
Just when the little Zongzi jumped out of the coffin and was about to rush out, Gu Xinlie moved his feet, and with a whoosh sound, a bright silver light flashed, and one of the little Zongzi's arms was cut off, and he fell straight to the ground.
On the ground, it turned into a puddle of yin after a while.
The little zongzi didn't seem to feel the pain, and rushed over again with teeth and claws.
I thought to myself, if this little Zongzi stays in this coffin for thousands of years, he will come out as a corpse king.
At this time, I seemed very relaxed, because this was a showdown without any suspense.
Gu Xinlie and Hua Baozi chopped off all the limbs of the little rice dumpling in less than a cup of tea.
A clean one.
When they put away their knives and came back, the little rice dumpling was still rolling on the ground, with only one head and one body left.
It looked more happy at this time.
I stared at the little rice dumpling for a while, looking at his black Shu brocade clothes, and suddenly I was stunned, and an idea suddenly came to my mind.
I raised my head, looked at Gu Xinlie and the other three and said, "Tell me, can this little rice dumpling be the drowned Qin Chugong?"
As soon as these words were spoken, even Gu Xinlie couldn't help but tremble.
Wang Jiangqian and Hua Baozi stared at the little rice dumpling that was still wriggling on the ground with its teeth and claws.
Reminiscent of Qin Chugong's death by drowning at the age of three, Song Banqiao's retreat, and then Song Qing's sudden rise, I suddenly figured something out.
"No need to guess, he is Qin Chugong."
At this time, Gu Xinlie suddenly spoke up, his tone a little cold.
It turned out that just when I finished saying this, he took a look inside the coffin and saw a big seal underneath the little rice dumpling, which read "Qin Chu Tai Dou".
"This Song Qing Dynasty turned out to have taken away the emperor's good fortune, longevity, and good fortune."
My face sank, and I roughly guessed the whole story.
I infer that this is probably what happened.
After Song Banqiao and his ministers drowned Qin Chugong and his mother, they did not bury the bodies themselves.
At that time, Song Banqiao was busy studying silk languages and building tombs, and was eager to resign and retire.
After all, compared to Qin Chugong, Qin Xiangong who succeeded him can be called a wise king, and Song Banqiao did not have this in mind.
Above the official level, naturally they are not willing to wade into this muddy water again.
But just after he resigned, his good nephew Song Qing, who had always been unknown, suddenly rose to prominence.
Song Qing was originally a businessman.
Although there is no historical record about him in official history, he was definitely not an ordinary businessman.
The rise of Song Qing should be related to two things he did.

One, stole the silk.
Second, he stole the body of Qin Chugong.
The method of the Five Ghosts to bring wealth must have been learned from silk texts in the Song and Qing Dynasties.
But what makes me a little strange is why Song Qing died in front of Song Banqiao, and how long it took to build the tomb Judging from my visual inspection, it would be very difficult to complete the Juxian Palace alone without taking a year or two to complete it, not to mention digging the ground to build a tomb.
There are even more tomb passages and stone chambers in this tomb than that of King Zhuang's tomb.
It is difficult to complete it.
Why would Song Qing build his tomb in advance even if it was time for his own death?
When I thought of this, I trembled all over and didn't dare to continue to speculate.
"I didn't expect that the Song and Qing dynasties would bury their princes and use the five ghosts to gain their fortune.
He must be the only one in the world who could do such a thing."
I shook my head and laughed.
"Hey, Mr.
Lin, let me tell you, this Song Qing is just a bastard, why do you need to think so much?
Otherwise, we came in just to rob the tomb.
When we get to the tomb, no one can stop me.
I'll start with a pickaxe.
Split the grandson's coffin and whip the corpse first.
If he looks good-looking, he'll slap him on the face.
If he's ugly, let him go wherever he goes.
"Wang Jianggan put the gold in the coffin into his backpack and turned back to follow us.
A random chat.
There was nothing I could do about him being a living treasure.
I could only tell him to hurry up and move on after he finished pretending.
As for the little zongzi lying on the ground, none of us paid attention to it.
It was better to let it fend for itself than to kill it with a knife.
Anyway, it posed no threat to us now.
If we really killed him, we were afraid of what would happen.
What's wrong, it won't be worth it if it causes extra problems.
This Juxian Palace is much bigger than I imagined.
It should be said that it is too big.
Just now, we thought we had reached the middle of this Juxian Palace.
In fact, it is just a front hall, not even a quarter of it. .
We walked through the golden throne and walked towards the depths of the hall.
The extremely dark and spacious hall gradually lit up under the illumination of the miner's lamp.
Compared to the splendor of the front hall, the area around us is much simpler.
Some ceramics, calligraphy and paintings have begun to appear, and the carvings on the pillars range from vermilion dragon patterns to plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums, flowers, birds, fish and insects.
At this moment, another coughing sound suddenly came from my ears.
The coughing sound was very rapid and low.
It's like the coughing sound of an old man who is dying before he expires.
My heart trembled.
The voice was extremely clear.
I definitely didn't believe it was an auditory hallucination.
I raised my head and saw Gu Xinlie, Wang Jiangqian, and Hua Baozi looking around with nervous expressions on their faces.
"Did you hear that cough?"
I asked.

"I heard it, it's a bit scary.
Could it be that there's something else in here?"
Leopard shrank his neck and turned his head to look away.
He once had the experience of being possessed by a ghost, and he seemed a little cowed at this time.
This can't be blamed on him.
Anyone who encounters a ghost will inevitably be a little resistant to these things.
I nodded and continued walking, but as I walked, my head hit something.
"Um" I felt a little strange, so I immediately looked up and my pupils shrank.
There was a corpse hanging in front of me:
