As expected, when gentle heard this, she became happy and her eyes lit up. “I know that you will definitely stay with me!”
“But,”he yi hurriedly added. “Xueshan has to leave First!”
Before gentle could say anything, Ji Xueshan quickly refused. “If sister he doesn’t leave, I won’t leave even if you beat me to death!”
Seeing Ji Xueshan’s determined expression, he yi knew that she couldn’t persuade her, so she sighed softly to express her acquiescence.
After they were ready to open the coffin, the four men separated into four corners. Each of them lifted one corner and slowly removed the heavy coffin lid.
He Yi stood at the side and watched the coffin lid slowly move. She gripped the military knife in her hand tightly and held her breath as she waited for the coffin lid to be removed to reveal its true appearance.
“Sister he, let’s stay away from here!”Ji Xueshan pulled he yi.
He Yi jumped in fright and warned in a low voice, “Don’t move recklessly. Be careful not to slip and fall down!”
This mountain peak was extremely steep, and its area was extremely narrow. It could only accommodate a huge stone coffin, and the remaining area was even narrower. Fortunately, the place was covered with spider lilies, and the vines and leaves had the function of preventing slip, so it was not difficult to move even an inch. If it was covered with moss like the stone bridge, one step would probably cause one to fall into the deep ravine.
“OH.”Ji Xueshan looked at the bottomless ravine and immediately became a little timid. She did not dare to move recklessly anymore.
Finally, the heavy coffin cover slowly moved away. The true appearance of the queen of Loulan was about to be revealed.
Although he yi was not a person who liked to be lively, she was also somewhat curious about the appearance of the queen of Loulan. Legend had it that Queen Loulan had a peerless beauty and could be said to be a beauty of her generation. She was curious. Could she be more beautiful than Claire?
Everyone had the same thoughts as her. They were all curious about Queen Loulan’s appearance. Since this sarcophagus had strange herbs that could slow down the aging of one’s appearance, then the Loulan woman should have some skills to preserve her appearance. After she died, she would naturally look for ways to preserve her corpse as new.
However, when the lid of the sarcophagus was completely pushed open, they were disappointed.
They saw that the entire sarcophagus was covered with a dense white silk net that formed a large cocoon. Other than that, they could not see anything else. The entire sarcophagus exuded a faint chill that made them shiver involuntarily.
So the Loulan woman was a large cocoon! And this sarcophagus was like a natural ice chest!
He Yi could not help but flutter her eyelashes slightly. She had never expected such an outcome!
“This looks like a large cocoon!”Ji Xueshan raised sand silkworms at her grandmother’s house in the countryside, so she was no stranger to cocoons. She observed it closely and said with certainty once again, “This is indeed a cocoon formed from silk!”
“That’s right!”She gently confirmed Ji Xueshan’s conclusion. “There is a thousand-year-old ice silkworm in the Queen’s coffin. It can keep the temperature in the stone coffin low all year round, and the ice won’t Melt!”
He Yi suddenly understood. She had always been puzzled. All the tombs of emperors had been built in dry land because humidity was a taboo in tombs. Not only were the objects buried in the tombs easy to corrode, but the bones were also difficult to preserve. However, the tomb of Queen Loulan was built on the underground river. The water was gurgling and the mist was dense. This puzzled her. How could the coffin of the queen be guaranteed not to rot?
So that was the case! There was a thousand-year-old ice silkworm in the stone coffin. It had actually turned the stone coffin into a ready-made ice cabinet. The queen, who had been “Frozen in water”all year round, naturally would not rot. Moreover, the humid environment was very beneficial to the “Preservation”of the Queen’s corpse.
“Is the ice silkworm really so miraculous!”He Yi could not help but exclaim in admiration. “There are a few in total! Also, you want this thing to make things!”
First of all, he Yi was extremely shocked by the miraculous effect of the ice silkworm. She had never imagined that the legendary mythical beast actually existed, and its power was so godly. In addition, if the ice silkworm’s function was only to freeze, then the modern freezer could completely replace it.
“En, its use isn’t as simple as just making a freezer!”Gentle confirmed he Yi’s guess. “It has many magical uses to me!”
At least what magical uses it had, gentle didn’t say it too clearly. Of course, he Yi did not pursue the matter.
She had obtained the exotic herb, and gentle wanted the ice silkworm, so it was good for both of them to get what they needed.
Since gentle had helped her to obtain the exotic herb, he Yi felt that it was time for her to put in some effort and show her support for gentle. “What can I do for You?”
