It was not that there were no burial items in the coffin, but the most precious thing had already been taken away by Xu Yuan.
It was just that he was temporarily unable to figure out the specific use of that Stone Talisman.
"I really didn't expect that a living thing could come out of a corpse.”"No one knows what that thing is?" Fatty Wang asked unwillingly.”
"Sigh!"
Professor Chen sighed, put down Hao Aiguo's body, and said,""I've read an unofficial history of the Western Regions, and it mentioned something like this.”
It seemed that he had walked out of his sorrow. Although he was still sad, his emotions were not as fluctuating as before.
In terms of knowledge, no one present could compare to Professor Chen.
Hearing him say that he had an impression of her, she couldn't help but be curious.
Fatty Wang heartlessly urged,"Professor Chen, tell me quickly. My ears have been stuck out for so long that they're almost like rabbits.”
Hu Bayi rolled his eyes at him, hinting that Fatty Wang should look at the situation when he spoke.
Teacher Chen waved his hand to show that he was fine. Then, he said,"It's rumored that there's an evil art circulating in the Western Regions called Soul Hiding in the Corpse. When a person is on the verge of death, they can transfer their soul to a small animal through a special ritual and seal it in the belly of their own corpse.”
"Opening the coffin thousands of years later will allow the person who should have died to be resurrected with the body of the living being in the belly.”
"F * ck, doesn't that mean that he will never die?”Fatty Wang cried out in shock. Then, as if he had realized something, he asked in horror,"Professor Chen, do you mean that the white fox just now was actually this female corpse?”
Professor Chen nodded." I'm afraid so. When he resurrects, he must consume enough blood to maintain his life. Otherwise, he will die. Aiguo…"
At this point, his mood became much lower.
In other words, if Professor Hao hadn't run too far ahead just now, the twin-tailed white fox might have died immediately after it came out.
Now everyone knew why the ancient tomb was built under the altar.
The altar above was actually specially found or built to complete the evil technique of hiding souls in corpses.
"Hide the soul in the corpse."
Xu Yuan murmured as he recalled the stone talisman in his pocket.
If what Professor Chen said was true, then this Stone Talisman should be a Spirit Forming Talisman.
It was a forbidden rune that could help the dead condense their living souls. The person who could make this stone talisman could almost be said to be extremely capable.
The so-called hiding of the soul in the corpse was a bit like the spiritual capture and dispatch of the Taoist spells of the Central Plains, but the spells of the Western Regions seemed to be performed in reverse.
Of course, this was only his guess. Perhaps only the person involved knew the truth.
" There's something I don't understand," Professor Chen said." Judging from the form of the tomb, this should be Prince Gumo's tomb."”
Xu Yuan guessed,"Maybe it's a turtledove occupying a magpie's nest."”
It was not strange that the ancients could do such a thing.
"Do you mean that someone later occupied the tomb that originally belonged to Prince Gumo?”Professor Chen stood up and swept his flashlight around. When he saw the mural on the wall, he quickly walked forward.
At this moment, he forgot about Hao Aiguo's death and devoted himself to archaeological research.
Xu Yuan pursed his lips. These people's stubbornness towards archaeology was really unlikeable.
If it wasn't for that stupid system mission, he wouldn't have joined this archeological team.
Professor Chen's unofficial history story and Xu Yuan's last guess piqued everyone's curiosity. They all came to the mural and waited for Professor Chen to explain.
The first few murals proved that this tomb originally belonged to Prince Gumo.
" The artist who painted these murals is very skilled," Xue Li Yang praised." The composition is gorgeous and vivid. Although there are no text annotations, the characteristics are very distinct.”
Indeed, one could clearly see the life of the Gumo Kingdom prince from the painting.
Gradually, the figure of Queen Jingjue began to appear on the mural. Unfortunately, she had always been covered with a veil, so no one had seen her true appearance.
It was not until everyone came to the last painting that they saw the Queen of Exquisite finally lift her veil. Unfortunately, she was standing sideways.
However, the main point was that Prince Gu Mo, who was kneeling in front of her, disappeared into thin air after she lifted her veil.
"This is too exaggerated. Just because the woman in the painting looked at someone else, that person disappeared?”Hu Bayi was the first to raise his doubts.
He believed that there were rice dumplings and strange and terrifying creatures, but an ability like the Queen of Extinction was too fantastical.
"I'm also speculating based on the records in the 'Records of the Western Regions of the Great Tang,' so there's still a certain degree of credibility.”
"That's right, it's not impossible.”Professor Chen's gaze turned to the next wall." Since Prince Gumo has disappeared, there should be another painting. It's a painting of the woman in the coffin.”
However, when everyone turned their gazes over, they were greatly disappointed.
The murals on the wall had been scraped off, and the identity information of the female corpse in the coffin was completely cut off.
