Chapter 50: Getting rich after hindsight

 I don’t know how long I slept before I opened my eyes again.

My first reaction was nausea and vomiting, and I also felt a severe headache.

"Yuck!"

"Yunfeng! You finally woke up! What do you think?"

"Give me a drink of water."

Xiaoxuan immediately brought me water, and I took it and drank most of the bottle.

"Head!"

Come and take a look! Yunfeng is awake!" Xiaoxuan shouted.

Closing my eyes, I still remember that shocking scene in my mind.

I almost died. It's so terrible. This is killing someone invisible! If I hadn't discovered it earlier, Dou Sprout and I would have turned into two cold corpses.

"How are you feeling, Yunfeng?"

"Okay. Much better. How long did I sleep?"

He patted me on the head and said helplessly: "You slept for a whole day. We took every precaution, but we missed this one. Fortunately, neither you nor Dou Yazi had any major problems."

"Damn Fengzi! You were the only one urging me to run away! You really scared me. I thought something had happened!"

I reached out for a cigarette, and Dou Sprout immediately gave me one.

Xiaoxuan snatched it away and said angrily: "I'm going to slap you as soon as I wake up! Do you know that when you first fell into coma, your face was white!"

I chuckled, took the cigarette from Xiaoxuan's hand, put it in my mouth and said, "A woman's kindness, brother, I shouldn't die."

We all ignored it yesterday.

That's not ordinary cinnabar. I guess there should be a layer of cinnabar covering the bottom of the entire main tomb chamber!

The appearance of cinnabar and cinnabar layer in ancient tombs are two concepts. The former is very common, while the latter is very rare. There is a five centimeter thick cinnabar layer in the Mawangdui Tomb in Changsha.

The owner of the tomb is an old Yinbi.

What's going on?

Cinnabar itself is poisonous, but not to the extent that it can directly poison people. But if it is a layer of cinnabar, it will be different.

That's not white plaster mud, that's quicklime.
Because we leaked the cement layer, hundreds of years have passed, and although the quicklime has lost part of its activity, it will still react when it encounters water.

It rained all night, so we didn't reach the bottom of the tomb that day. There was a cement layer more than one meter thick in the middle. This time we hit the bottom. After the water poured in, it reacted with the lime layer and generated heat.

Once the cinnabar layer is heated, even if it is not very hot, it will immediately produce a large amount of mercury and release it into the air. The composition of this mercury is the same as that of volatilized mercury. As long as the amount is sufficient, it can poison people to death in just a few minutes.

, this kind of thing was used in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor to prevent theft.

I sat up and asked, "Boss, you said it's been a day. How is the coffin? Has it been taken out?"

Before he could say anything, Douyazai chuckled. He reached into his trouser pocket and took out a bright yellow thing, and waved it in front of my eyes: "Fengzi, look at it, what is this?"

"Gold belt plate!"

"You took out the coffin!?"

"There's no need to dig it out at all," Dou Yazai gestured, "Let us dig a hole in the coffin along the exposed end, and then I got in and touched it clean!"

"What happened? Did you get the horse cards too?"

Brother Yu smiled and patted the bag: "There are a lot of things out there, and they are all here. I found some brands, and they are all gilded."

I said, "Let me take a look." Brother Yu immediately opened the bag and showed me what he took out of the coffin.

Suddenly, a touch of piercing gold flashed before my eyes.

A whole pile! A trumpet-shaped gold bowl as big as a fist, and a thick pile of gold strips! All tied up with ropes!

There are also a large number of exquisite jade articles, mainly six-sided jade congs, jade nobles, jade cicadas, and four or five very white jade rings.

Apart from these, what caught my attention the most was a bronze plaque.

This bronze medal is oval in shape, like a pocket watch, with holes punched at the top for ease of wearing. On the front of the bronze medal,

Gonggong has engraved four large Xixia characters, and the openings of the characters are all inlaid with silver wire hammering techniques. The whole thing gives people the feeling of being ordinary but revealing the majesty of the royal family.

This thing is the first-grade Xixia cultural relic worth more than one million yuan, the imperial horse tile.

"Okay! Great!"

I'm so happy. The total value of these things is definitely more than two million. If I meet the right buyer, I can make a lot of money!

Why did we take risks and go through so much trouble to go to these deep mountains and forests for this purpose? It’s just for this!

Yu Ge pulled on the bag and said, "How do you feel about your body now? Why don't you rest for a day or two first, and then we can explore other areas with your head."

"Don't!"

I stood up and said, "I'm fine! It's absolutely fine to work!"

After hearing this, Brother Yu smiled and touched my head.

This tomb took a lot of work, and I almost had an accident, but fortunately the result was good, and we were very happy with the harvest, especially Dou Sprout, no one was happier than him.

The legend is no longer a legend, but has become a reality, and these gold and silver vessels are the evidence.

The tomb of Emperor Li Xian of the late Xia Dynasty is definitely hidden here. It depends on our luck whether we can find it or not.

Another day later, we started to explore the "m2" area around the turret. This area was quickly explored and there were no ancient tombs.

On the third day, we walked east again to explore the m3 area.

I was resting on the Luoyang shovel when I turned around and saw the ladder, and suddenly thought of a way.

I threw the shovel, ran over to find the boss and said, "The boss has a solution! It's so simple, why didn't we think of it earlier!"

I pointed to the ladder in the distance and said: "Look at the head, we are making a longer ladder, and then add two sticks to the front of the ladder, tie them tightly with ropes, use these two sticks as hooks, and hook them on the ladder.

There's the small door! Can't you go up there?"

"Well, haha, this method is OK," the leader said with a smile: "But don't worry, there should be nothing up there, we mainly focus on it now
Focus on exploring the pits."

"Okay, then I know the trick."

Before dinner, I told Dou Sprout about this method. After hearing this, Dou Sprout clapped his hands and said, "Then what are you waiting for! Just find two branches! Let's do it!"

I said that I had already mentioned it, and there was probably nothing up there, so there was no need to worry.

Dou Yazai looked back at the blockhouse dozens of meters high and said anxiously: "How do you know there is nothing until you go up there! What if there is a room full of antiques on top? No, I can't sleep when I think of a room full of antiques. Fengzi will wait.

Let's go chop down a tree later, we have to do it sooner or later anyway."

After thinking about it, I nodded and said that's fine, let's eat first.

After eating, Dou Sprouts and I took the knives to chop down the tree.

Not just any tree can be tied with a ladder. We need to look for a tree that is not too thick, tall enough, and long and straight. Lao Fu had nothing to do, so he said he could help us, and I naturally agreed.

Arrived at the place.

"Uncle Fu, what do you think of that tree?"

Lao Fu shook his head: "It still feels too thick to be tied, right? I think that one is just right." He pointed to a tree in the northwest.

I saw it and thought it was appropriate, so we went there.

Lao Fu probably felt that he had not been able to help in the past two days, so he volunteered to cut down the trees first. As a mountain man, he was very good at cutting down trees. I felt like the tree would break after two cuts.

Because he was bending over to cut, and his movements were relatively large, a photo suddenly slipped out of his jacket pocket and fell to the ground silently.

Before Lao Fu noticed that he had dropped something, Dou Sprouts was close and he picked it up directly.

I walked over and turned on the flashlight.

In the photo is a young girl, who looks to be in her twenties. The girl is wearing a gray baseball cap, waving and smiling.

Dou Sprout scratched his head, said who this was, it was quite beautiful, and then turned the photo over.

Turning the photo over, I saw four small words written on the back.

My beloved daughter Fuxia.
