Tomb raiding: Scientists dissect the Queen Mother of the West

No matter when or where, ( ) will always be your most loyal reading companion.

Inside the hall.

The whistle-shaped coffin was placed in the center.

The other coffins were placed around the whistle coffin.

There were large gaps between the coffins, enough for an adult to walk through.

Qi Mo didn't know anything about opening coffins, after all, he had never dug up someone's ancestral grave in his previous life.

Therefore, he is now very interested in the act of reaching into the coffin and opening it.

However, he was still taken aback when he saw something resembling a large pair of scissors being carried over.

This thing doesn't look like it's for opening coffins; it looks more like it's for cutting off people's hands.

Master Qi scratched his head and asked curiously:

"Master, what's the use of this scissor-like thing?"

Master Zhang glanced in this direction and explained:

"If there's a mechanism inside, it could trap the person opening the coffin."

"These scissors could save his life in a critical moment."

Qi Mo understood; this was a tool for surviving by amputating an arm.

Is this how tomb raiders open coffins?

That sounds pretty dangerous.

That arm was cut off, how painful that must have been!

It seems that being a tomb raider isn't easy; one wrong move and you could end up disabled.

Qi Baye swallowed hard, looked at the object that resembled a large pair of scissors, then at his own arm, and subconsciously took two steps back.

He's thinking of leaving.

At that moment, a nervous soldier raised a bowl of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

Then, he walked up to the whistle coffin and put his hand into the hole in the coffin lid.

Qi Mo and the others watched this scene with tension, even their breathing became cautious.

The surroundings became very quiet.

Suddenly, the soldier who opened the coffin let out a terrified cry, as if his arm had been stuck.

He tried to reach out his hand, but he couldn't.

Without hesitation, the two soldiers wielding what looked like giant scissors severed the man's arm with a snap.

Qi Mo stared wide-eyed at the scene, his eyes showing no fear, but rather a hint of excitement.

This was exactly the same scene he had when he was studying some animals in his previous life, where he had to cut off their arms and legs.

I really miss it!

Master Qi, terrified, hid behind Qi Mo and patted his chest:

"Whoa, that was terrifying!"

"Cousin, why don't we go first?"

"What if the Buddha asks us to open the coffin?"

He certainly doesn't want to lose an arm.

Moreover, this matter is somewhat complicated; once you're involved, it won't be easy to extricate yourself.

Qi Mo turned around and patted Eighth Master Qi on the shoulder:

"Don't be so afraid."

"There are so many people here, it's not our turn to open the coffin."

"Also, stop grabbing my arm, you've caught my snake too."

Qi Baye shouted "Ah!" and released his grip, apologizing to the mutated pheasant's neck that had poked its head out of his sleeve:

"Snake Master, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to capture you."

"Don't bite me, I'm your master's cousin."

"We are on the same side."

"Cousin, please have your pet stick its head back in."

Looking at the mutated pheasant sticking out its tongue, he felt a chill run down his spine, as if he would be bitten at any moment.

While ordering the soldiers to carry the wounded away, Zhang Dafoye looked over in this direction.

When he saw the mutated pheasant neck with two heads, his pupils contracted, and he became even more wary of Qi Mo.

That red snake looked extremely venomous, yet this person dared to keep it in his sleeve without fear of being bitten; he is no ordinary person.

No wonder Deputy Zhang suffered a loss at his hands.

Once the mutated pheasant's neck emerged, it no longer wanted to stay in the sleeve. It climbed up Qi Mo's arm and onto his shoulder, surveying the people around it with its cold eyes.

Lieutenant Zhang knew how powerful the snake was, and subconsciously glanced at his injured left hand.

He was only slapped, but his arm bones almost broke.

That snake was incredibly strong!

[Zhang Dafoye's shock level +2000]

[Zhang Lieutenant's Shock Level +1000]

[Master Qi's shock level +1000]

[Soldier's Shock Level +200]

[Soldier's Shock Level +200]

…………

Qi Mo patted the head of the mutated pheasant's neck, quite satisfied that it had earned him shock points.

Wow, this scares people and earns you shock points! You don't need to pretend to be a charlatan anymore, you can just switch to pretending to be a "god of death"!

[Scare them to death and earn lots of shock points!]

Qi Mo thought to himself:

"Shut up, I know what to do, just be quiet."

"By the way, what's inside that coffin? Why is that soldier so scared?"

The severed arm is still inside the coffin; I wonder how it is now.

[A completely dead body, and a severed arm]

Actually, there wasn't anything special inside the coffin; the soldier was just so terrified that he scared himself, which led to his arm being cut off.

Upon hearing this answer, Qi Mo's lips twitched slightly.

What an unlucky child, losing an arm just like that, so pitiful!

Master Zhang took off his coat and asked his adjutant to hold it for him, intending to open the coffin himself.

"Master, this is too dangerous, let me do it."

He slowly reached his hand into the hole, groped around for a bit, found the mechanism, and began to turn a small ring.

With a series of clicking sounds, the whistle coffin was slowly opened, revealing the scene inside to everyone.

Master Zhang withdrew his hand and said calmly:

"There are no traps in this coffin. The soldiers were just too nervous and mistakenly thought there were traps inside."

He ordered a soldier to remove the severed arm.

Then, he began to grope around the corpse in the coffin and found only an exquisite ring.

Master Qi stepped forward, peered at the ring, and said:

"These are artifacts from the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Among the Nine Gates, the Second Master's family is the most knowledgeable about ancient tombs from the Northern and Southern Dynasties."

"Master, you need to go see Second Master."

Master Zhang frowned:

"Second Master, Er Yuehong, Zhang Lieutenant, prepare the carriage, we're going to Second Master's place."

Qi Mo glanced inside the coffin and, finding nothing interesting, immediately lost interest.

Master Qi rolled his eyes and bid farewell to Master Zhang:

"Master, my cousin and I have some matters to attend to, so we'll be leaving now."

After saying that, he grabbed Qi Mo and ran away quickly.

After running quite a distance and making sure that Master Zhang wouldn't send anyone to chase after him, Master Qi stopped and gasped for breath.

"Cousin, let me tell you, we can't get involved in this."

"Otherwise, there will definitely be endless trouble."

"Let's go home, we won't be going out for the next few days."

Qi Mo looked Qi Baye up and down, raising an eyebrow. This cousin of his was a bit too timid.

It seems we need to work on his courage.

…………

yard.

Qi Mo leaned back in his recliner and waved to Qi Baye, who was not far away, signaling him to come over.

Uncle Qi stopped watering the flowers and came running over excitedly.

"Cousin, what do you need me for?"

"Cousin, are there any hidden rooms or basements in our yard?"

"Yes." Master Qi nodded.

Qi Mo stood up and patted Eighth Master Qi on the shoulder:

"Come on, take me to the dark room."

Although Master Qi didn't know why Qi Mo wanted to go to the dark room, he still obediently led the way.

Not long after, the two arrived at Master Qi's bedroom.

Master Qi pressed a dented brick inside the wardrobe, and with a rumbling sound, the door to the underground secret room was opened.

The two of them carefully carried the oil lamp downstairs.

After climbing more than a dozen steps, a dark room the size of a basketball court appeared before Qi Mo's eyes.

"Not bad, not bad, this dark room is quite large."

"Cousin, let's switch rooms. From now on, I'll stay in your room."

Qi Mo stared at Eighth Master Qi and said quietly:

"Come out with me tonight, I'll take you to build your courage."

He planned to capture a Japanese person to use as a test subject for bacteria and viruses.

At the same time, it's also a good opportunity to toughen up Master Qi's courage.

Although I don't know if Master Qi was faking it, judging from his performance today, he really is a coward.

I'll use tonight's Japanese to toughen him up.

He slowly reached his hand into the hole, groped around for a bit, found the mechanism, and began to turn a small ring.

With a series of clicking sounds, the whistle coffin was slowly opened, revealing the scene inside to everyone.

Zhang Dafoye seemed very confident, without a trace of fear in his eyes, and walked straight to the whistle coffin.
