Chapter 749: Seven Sons of Beidou
Fifteen couldn't help but sneered, "Oh my! You like Wanwan, but Wanwan doesn't like you. Why are you worrying about this?"
Gu Sinian's face flushed and his neck thickened: "Fifteen, what are you talking about? Wanwan is my sister."
Fifteen said, "Pooh!"
"Don't I understand your little thoughts?
Then you better hurry up, I heard today that Shen Tao will come to see her soon!"
Gu Sinian said with a cold face: "Why is he here instead of staying in his capital?"
"I'm not sure about that, but Shen Tao has always liked Wanwan. I'm afraid he came here just to see her." Fifteen said lightly.
"Bang..." The entire coffin lid was opened, and Fifteen jumped directly onto Gu Sinian.
Gu Sinian shouted loudly: "Fifteen, get out of here..."
Fifteen shivered: "Wow, wow, wow... there are zongzi."
Gu Sinian looked at the person who had crawled out of the coffin and breathed a sigh of relief. "It's one of ours. How did you get out of the coffin?"
Those people quickly replied:
"We didn't know what happened, but we suddenly fell into a dark room. The dark room was full of bones.
We were so scared that we ran away, but accidentally fell into a trap nearby and ended up here."
Ah Zhi looked at the coffin and said, "That one is made of rosewood. This person must be of high status."
A few people gathered around and saw that the coffin was indeed dark purple in color. The lid of the coffin was tilted half a foot, revealing a dark seam.
Ah Zhi squatted down, glanced inside, and then glanced at the people around him: "There's a man lying in there, and he's dressed very elegantly."
Others came over and used the dim light to see the scene inside the coffin. The man's body was still intact. He was wearing a dark purple jacquard brocade robe, the material of which had become a little brittle due to age.
The collar and cuffs are embroidered with lotus patterns in gold thread. Although the gold thread has oxidized and turned black, the complexity and exquisiteness of the stitching are not completely concealed.
He wore a jade belt around his waist, with twelve pale bluish-white jade plaques strung on the black belt, each of which was carved with a auspicious beast holding a branch.
"Look at his hands first." Azhi pointed to the man's right hand, and everyone immediately noticed that on the exposed thumb was a black jade ring the size of a pigeon egg.
The jade color was so rich and heavy, and the surface was polished to a smooth and lustrous finish. Ah Zhi carefully groped at the bottom of the coffin and first took out a string of twenty gold beads.
Each gold bead was polished into a round shape and of uniform size. A small rosewood box was found from the man's side. When it was opened, it was lined with red velvet and contained three small jade pendants.
One is a hollow Pisces pendant, one is a square pendant engraved with the word "peace", and the other is a teardrop-shaped tourmaline pendant with a clear red color.
Ah Zhi gently opened the man's slightly opened mouth and took out a thumb-sized piece of white jade from it. The jade was pure and without impurities, and was carved into the shape of a cicada. It was the "jade" commonly used by nobles in ancient times for burial.
Ah Zhi held a palm-sized gold medal he had taken from the man's lapel. The two seal characters "御仕" in the middle were slightly covered by rust, but they were still clear.
"This is definitely the Queen's concubine, with a rosewood coffin, a gold medal bestowed by the Emperor, and a jade cicada in his mouth.
There are so many gold and jade buried with her, who else but the Queen's closest relatives could have such a scale?"
Ah Zhi was pondering the "imperial gift" gold medal when Gu Sinian, who was standing beside him, suddenly spoke with a certainty in his voice: "This concubine should be called Yuheng."
Gu Sinian pointed to the half jade pendant exposed on the man's neck. The jade pendant was carved from mutton-fat white jade and was shaped like a willow leaf. There was a very small word "Heng" engraved on it, which could not be seen without careful observation.
"Historical books mention that in her later years, the empress had seven constant companions, known as the Seven Sons of the Northern Dipper. Each of them was skilled in both civil and military matters, each with their own strengths.
Yu Heng is one of them, and he is the best at using poison. It is said that ordinary poisons can be made colorless and odorless by him, yet they can kill people silently.
As soon as he finished speaking, Azhi suddenly let out a low "Ah" and abruptly retracted his hand, with a layer of light blue already appearing on his fingertips.
He stared at his fingers, then looked at the inner wall of the coffin, his face instantly darkening:
"Damn it, this coffin is poisonous! I wasn't paying attention when I pressed the edge of the coffin just now, and my fingertips rubbed against the black lines inside.
Look, the inner wall of this red sandalwood is actually embedded with a very fine layer of poisonous lacquer."
Sure enough, the inner wall of the rosewood coffin was faintly visible with dark lines, as if it was specially painted with paint, and it was impossible to tell without careful observation.
Azhi quickly took out the detoxifying ointment from his backpack and applied it on his fingertips.
Gu Sinian said calmly:
"I'm afraid it's not just the coffin that's poisonous; the jade in his mouth and the jade belt on his body might also be contaminated with poison.
After all, he was an expert in using poison, and even after death he had to keep a means of self-defense."
Sure enough, the fingers of the others also turned blue and black. They directly applied the detoxification pills and rubbed the ointment and said, "Fortunately, our young lady is very capable and has prepared all kinds of pills."
Gu Sinian smiled faintly: "Wanwan has been careful since she was a child. Let's keep going! We will find them eventually."
The ground under Bai Wanwan's feet was soft and uneven. She sank down whenever she stepped on it. She had to pull her feet out quickly to avoid sinking deeper.
It was pitch black all around, and I could only vaguely see a narrow hole above my head. The wind blew in from the hole, carrying with it the smell of earth and mold, and it made me feel cold when it blew on my body.
The earth wall next to it looked loose, and small pieces of earth fell down from time to time, making a rustling sound when they hit the ground.
I touched the wall, but it was covered in slippery mud and I couldn't grab anything.
Looking down further, the soft soil at my feet seemed hollow, and I could faintly hear the sound of dripping water in the distance.
I didn't know if there was a deep ditch or something underneath, so I could only stand there and not move, for fear that I would miss a step and fall if I took another step forward.
Bai Wanwan frowned and said, "This is a swamp. I didn't expect there would be a pit like this in it."
Zhiwei asked softly, "Miss, what should we do?"
Bai Wanwan said directly: "Don't worry, don't we have flying claws? We just need to grab a piece of land that can climb up."
Le Xi looked at the mottled stone walls around him, his brows furrowed even tighter. "But this stone wall looks so loose. When I touch it, it's all just fallen stone chips. Where is there anything to hold on to?"
Bai Wanwan was not in a hurry. She gently rubbed her fingertips across the moss on the stone wall and said firmly, "Since the tomb builders dug this pit, they must have left a way out. Just look carefully."
The custard bun at my feet suddenly jumped up with a squeak, its little paws clinging to the stone wall and refusing to move, its round head kept moving towards a raised area.
Bai Wanwan looked in the direction it pointed and found a half-exposed stone edge hidden on the stone wall. The stone edge was covered with a thick layer of moss, and its color almost blended in with the surrounding stone walls.
If it weren't for the custard bun, you wouldn't be able to tell it was carved out by hand.
She reached out and grabbed the edge of the stone. Her fingertips touched the rough stone surface under the moss. She pulled hard, and the stone edge was as solid as a rock.
