Chapter 23 White Jade Coffin and Nine Tails Mural
No matter how much the fox muttered, its digging action was not slow, and with its help, the overall efficiency was much higher.
Xia Zhijin also dug a lot easier. One person and one fox dug a hole three to four meters deep.
It wasn't until the shovel in Xia Zhijin's hand touched a hard object, and there was a sharp sound between the metal collisions, that she knew that she had finally dug to the end.
Xia Zhijin used his abilities to blow open the topsoil, and a circular arch was exposed under the ground, covered with metal patina. I don't know what age it was.
Xia Zhijin put the shovel into the space, took the fox to jump down the pit, and touched the door with his hand. It was cold at first, and the copper rust on it was still a little squeaky.
Xia Zhijin felt a little uncomfortable looking at the dirty door of the cave. She quickly used the water ability to clean the copper rust on it, so that the door revealed its original face.
This is an iron door, and the iron door is full of mysterious and weird patterns.
Since going to the pit, Xia Zhijin has felt a chill on her back.
She hugged the fox in her arms, and whispered: "Did we dig someone else's grave? I heard people say that the army came this time for a grave."
"Let's find it. I don't dare to have one ." People go in, it's scary..."
Xia Zhijin's whole body trembled a little, but the fox was not as scared as she was, but instead kept trying to go inside, as if there was something in it attracting him.
"Go, go now, we won’t have any babies when someone else comes!"
Xia Zhijin had the courage to push the door open, but as soon as she entered, the door closed automatically. NS.
"Ah! It's scary." I don't know if it's the wind. Xia Zhijin patted her chest and walked in. The tunnel underneath was dark and narrow, and Xia Zhijin's hair was erected all over her body.
She is not afraid of ugly and vicious zombies, she is afraid of ghosts and gods.
Especially the ghosts in China, she felt that they were dozens of times more terrifying than those in foreign countries.
Because the surroundings were humid and dark, Xia Zhijin could only take out the candles from the space and light them, while groping forward, while paying attention to the movement in the dark, she was afraid that a zombie or some ghost would suddenly pop out.
After walking for about twenty or thirty minutes, Xia Zhijin and the others seemed to have come to a corner. Seeing the light coming, she extinguished the candle and walked forward quickly.
She really wanted to get rid of this dark narrow road!
Even after turning the corner and entering the cave with a large opening, Xia Zhijin's eyes were squinted by the intense light.
When she opened her eyes after she got used to it, the fox in her arms had already jumped off her and went straight to the coffin placed in the middle of the cave.
Before Xia Zhijin could stop it, it had already cut open the lid of the coffin with one claw, and hooked a bead-like thing in it with its tail.
After taking the beads out of the coffin, the fox glanced at Xia Zhijin, and swallowed it without thinking.
Xia Zhijin was dumbfounded, and hurriedly followed up and picked it up, holding its mouth with both hands, making it open.
She wanted to see what it swallowed.
"My God, why do you eat everything? This is something in the coffin! I don't know how long it has been left." The fox burped contentedly and licked the corners of his lips, as if he was still reminiscing about the delicious food he had just eaten.
It also scratched the back of Xia Zhijin's hand with his small paw in an attempt to comfort her.
"Good things, good things, it's okay."
Xia Zhijin saw that the fox had already swallowed the unknown thing, and it was no use to say anything at this time.
Besides, it says it is a good thing, so believe it for the time being.
Xia Zhijin hugged the fox and touched its stomach for a long time, and then when he saw that there was nothing unusual, he moved his gaze to the coffin.
This is an extremely special coffin, not just made of wood or jade. The whole is pure white and flawless, crystal clear and translucent, and it exudes a delicate fragrance after carefully smelling it.
Xia Zhijin had the courage to look at the people in the coffin. When she stood on tiptoes and gathered the courage to look inside, she found that the coffin was empty!
empty?
Xia Zhijin lowered his body slightly, and took a closer look to see that the coffin was still empty.
She reached out and touched it, and her fingertips seemed to touch something delicate, soft and hairy.
The touch was very similar to fox fur, and she pulled the thing out of the coffin with a hard effort.
Xia Zhijin took a closer look and realized that it was a complete animal skin, soft and white, shiny and beautiful.
Moreover, the length of the hair is the same, which is a few higher grades than the finest fur.
Xia Zhijin first didn't understand what kind of fur the animal was. After she checked the white fox in her hand and compared the skin, she found that the two were extremely similar in color and touch.
There is a little difference. The fur on the fox is a bit softer and shorter than the fur on this fur, but Xia Zhijin can roughly deduce that this is fox fur!
But why is the coffin empty and there is a fox skin?
Is the owner of this coffin a transformed fox? After completing the practice, did the Dao soar?
I don't know if there are any elements of cultivating immortals in this novel.
Xia Zhijin said with emotion, "Did this little thing plan your own ancestor's coffin? Or was it your ancestor left you specifically? No wonder you were so excited just now." The fox shook his tail triumphantly. Going into the coffin again, two or three times, a sharp fox's paw came out, and it looked even more majestic in its own hand.
Xia Zhijin watched the fox after showing off and got in again. After a few seconds in a puzzled manner, she followed her head into the coffin, and pulled out a snow-white soft fox tail from the horns.
? ?
Together with the fox skin I just took out, these can already make myself a large cloak made of fox fur. This fox tail is just a fur collar bib.
Xia Zhijin touched the fox fur fondly, put it on his arm, and stretched most of his body into the coffin like a treasure hunt.
The bottom layer of the coffin is covered with dazzling gold and silver jewelry, which is far better than the ones Xia Zhijin bought at the booth in terms of material and age.
And some of these treasures are full of aura like those described in Xiuxian's novels, I don't know that they have been so shining after being buried in the soil for hundreds of thousands of years.
The jewellery inside is superb in terms of variety and quality, and it shimmers under the shining of the sun beads overhead, Xia Zhijin's eyes are almost blinded by these gems.
Xia Zhijin picked up a sapphire the size of a pigeon egg. It was pure blue and translucent. The gemstone carving also conformed to its texture. A very delicate gem, even if Xia Zhijin didn't understand the market, he knew the price was high.
Hey, the foxes love these gorgeous gold and silver jewelry.
The fox was originally rolling in the pile of jewels, when Xia Zhijin took a sapphire, a sly flash of black eyes flashed.
Xia Zhijin only felt that her eyes were white, her fingertips wet, and the sapphire had been taken away by the fox.
"Bao, you are so stingy, aren't you?"
Xia Zhijin hadn't felt how possessive and stingy foxes were before, but now she knows.
"We have a share of what we saw together. We found it together. According to the rules of the rivers and lakes, we were divided
equally ." Xia Zhijin would not spoil him without principle, because she regarded the fox as her partner, not a single one. Doting pets will talk to them like this.
The fox shook his head quickly with wide-eyed eyes, holding the sapphire in both paws, and turned his big tail towards Xia Zhijin.
"Mine, I like you, you can't take mine."
Xia Zhijin didn't say much when he looked at it's petty air. When he turned around and didn't pay attention, he fished most of the jewels from the coffin into space, and put them in the space before. In the small bamboo house.
The fox was heartbroken with tears in his eyes as he witnessed all this.
The essence of the play.
However, Xia Zhijin did not cooperate with it. Seeing that she wanted to continue to take things out of the coffin, the fox hurriedly jumped on her body. Two shaggy claws grabbed her neck, and her body blocked her sight.
"It is said that one person and one fox and half, you can't take it!"
"Let's do it!"
Xia Zhijin held back a smile and patted it on the back. It gave up and gave up half of his beloved jewelry, explaining It still has a bit of its own position in its heart.
Then I will be better for it in the future.
Xia Zhijin hugged it with one hand, while looking at this bright cave.
Just now, Xia Zhijin and the fox were only looking at the jade-white coffin in the middle of the cave, before they had time to take a closer look at the tomb.
This tomb is about the size of an ordinary suite, and the top floor is inlaid with numerous sun beads brighter than light bulbs, illuminating the entire cave brighter than during the day.
Why Xia Zhijin knows that this thing is called the Sun Bead, because Tang Qingrong has a lot of these lighting beads in the novel, and she bought them on the black market with mutant crystal nuclei.
I don't know why there are such beads in the black market. Could it be that the tomb robber dug this cave and sold all the treasures?
That would be too violent!
In fact, there is plenty of energy in the Sun Orb, but at the beginning, everyone didn't know it. It wasn't until the later period of the novel that the effect of the Sun Orb was discovered, and the energy of one Sun Orb was more than the crystal nucleus of five primary mutant zombies.
The walls of the cave are painted with paints of totems of various animals and plants. Although they are old, they are still lifelike, and some of them even look like patterns of formations.
Xia Zhijin touched her finger lightly, and she was amazed by the lines from her fingertips. This mural is three-dimensional!
She lightly clicked on a pattern in the center of the painting wall, and after the painting was coherent, she found that the pattern was a huge fox!
The fox eyes in the mural are also rare mandarin duck eyes, and the entire fox face looks very noble and beautiful.
It is sitting gracefully on the ground, with its tail spread out like a fan. This is still a fox with many tails!
One, two, three...
This is a nine-tailed fox!
Xia Zhijin itself is very witty and clever. She thinks of the fox fur in the coffin, and when she sees the nine-tailed fox in the middle of the mural, she immediately realizes that the owner of this cave may be a nine-tailed fox with magical powers!
Did you really guess it? This is the cave of the ancestor of the little white fox?
This is incredible, right?
Xia Zhijin looked down at the little white fox in his arms. It was really difficult to associate it with the nine-tailed fox on the mural.
Did you really find the treasure? !
Xia Zhijin's face was full of unconcealable joy. She held her heart beating wildly and turned her attention to the things placed around her.
In the center of this cave is a white jade coffin, the most conspicuous, besides that are the tall shelves standing next to the coffin, because the things on it also cannot be ignored by others.
Xia Zhijin had very good eyesight, and he could see that there were many things displayed on the wooden shelves, and they should all be treasures.
This time Xia Zhijin was even more unbearable. She covered herself and the fox's nose and mouth with her hands, and used the water ability to sweep all the dust on the wooden shelf on the ground.
After it was cleaned up, Xia Zhijin immediately stepped forward to take a closer look.
