176. Chapter 176 The Cause of Death of the Tomb Robber

He got in first, followed closely by the others. Old Turtle Lu's legs trembled with fear, and he struggled back. Although the old man boasted a lot, this was probably his first time going down to the ancient tomb.

There were many bottles, pots and tiles scattered in the thieves' cave which they thought were not very valuable. Little did they know that these tiles were all from Kangxi's official kilns, and each piece was worth more than 10,000 yuan. Wushuang talked for a while, but could only think about it.

I feel sorry for the final fate of this distant relative.

This was not a grand ceremony for the royal family, so the specifications were naturally not that luxurious. The tomb passage did not go far before entering the main tomb chamber. The main tomb chamber was surrounded by moss, and in the middle was a marble coffin. Originally, the coffin lid was carved with

The lifelike unicorn pattern was ruthlessly smashed by this group of tomb robbers.

Their methods are very primitive, using simple tools to break open coffins and retrieve treasures.

Wushuang told Mei Xi to take a handful of incense, first light three sticks in the northwest corner, and then stick the rest in front of the coffin and kneel before the coffin.

The incense in front of the coffin was burned out soon, and it was very clean. He told Mei Xi that you must respect the owner of the tomb when pouring the incense. It is necessary to offer incense, and after burning the incense, you can also learn about the owner of the tomb from the remaining incense ashes.

There are a lot of details here, so I won’t tell you one by one. I’ll teach you later, but one thing you have to remember is that if a handful of incense sticks are burned to the end, three long sticks are left unlit, and two short sticks are left.

If it is not burned out, then this fight will not be successful. It is in line with that sentence, three are long and two are short, if Captain Mo Jin is defeated, he will definitely be entangled by the ghosts of injustice throughout his life.

After the worship, Wushuang leaned forward and looked into the sarcophagus. The scene inside was really miserable. Acton's body had long been left with a set of white bones. The bones were scattered everywhere in the coffin, and the mouth of the skull was also broken.

He pried it open, probably to take out the luminous pearl. All the slightly valuable things on the body were taken away by the tomb robbers, leaving only fragments of a torn official robe.

It's so miserable. In fact, the same is true for modern people. No matter how rich they are in life, money is something that is not brought with them until death. People come into the world naked, and the best relief is to leave in the same way.

Otherwise, there is no telling whether one day my body, which is already sleeping peacefully, will be tormented like Acton.

Lu Laobao never dared to come forward and sat in the corner with a bad look on his face. Wushuang pulled him over. "Look! Look! This is the evil you have done! Are you not afraid that Acton will turn into a ghost and fight with you?"

Are you entangled? Do you know that by instructing them to rob tombs, they are helping the tyrants to commit evil and will be struck by lightning from the sky!"

"I... don't know, I really don't know! I'm just talking casually, who knows if it's true? It used to be just a legend. Is this ancient tomb real?"

"I'll settle the accounts with you later. Boss and fourth, put up the equipment and get ready to work!" Wushuang ordered.

The servants packed all the prepared dumping equipment one by one, plugged in the batteries, and completed the adjustments. After the previous encounters, Mei Xi seemed to be getting more and more accustomed to this atmosphere. After a while, she asked her brother-in-law if there was a chance for a wireless intercom.

There will be no power, and I will check if the electronic equipment outside is running normally. Anyway, I am curious about everything.

"Don't worry, I'll be there for you. Nothing will go wrong." Wushuang touched her cute little mushroom head and put the miniature radio earphones into her ears.

"Master, there are several corpses here." Boss Ma pointed to the dark corner and said.

These corpses were left behind by the tomb robbers. Wushuang looked at his injuries. Over the past few days, their corpses had begun to rot and swell, but their skin was different from the paleness of ordinary dead people, and was slightly green.

He put on gloves and pressed it, and found that a thick brown liquid oozed out from under the skin of the corpse. This liquid was darker than blood and had a higher viscosity. He sniffed it and found it strange. The corpse was originally rotten.

It must have been extremely stinky to this extent, but they didn't even smell the smell when they came in just now.

The corpses all had their eyes wide open, and the brown viscous liquid flowed out from their seven orifices and condensed on the ground and dried into small blood pimples.

"Master, let's get rid of it. Don't dirty your and Gege's eyes." Boss Ma called to the other three brothers and started to carry it away.

Wushuang ordered: "Wear gloves, they were poisoned and died."

"Brother-in-law, there is nothing in this tomb? How were they poisoned? Also, where is the entrance to the back room that the tomb robber mentioned?" Mei Xi asked.

There were four corpses in total. Behind them was a stone wall with many magnificent colorful paintings of palaces and palaces carved on the wall. There was a crack in the middle of the paintings, which seemed to be the crack of a stone door.

"I understand, is it here?" Mei Xi rushed over and was about to reach out to touch the mural, but was pulled back by her brother-in-law.

"Don't move. You have to be careful with everything in the Yin Cave Tomb. The color of this mural is too bright and the paint used may not be right." He put on his gloves, took out a silver needle, and dipped it in the silver needle.

into a bottle of special transparent liquid. Then he touched the smoky mural with a silver needle. The silver needle suddenly changed color and turned black, and wherever the silver needle touched the mural, the color of the needle changed.

Very small bubbles began to bubble out.

"Ah! Poisoned? Is this how they were poisoned?"

Wushuang told her: "Did you see it? Remember, for any ancient tomb that is more than a hundred years old, the corpse will have a physical effect with the gas in the tomb. The gas in the ancient tomb itself is slightly corrosive, so

As long as you see well-preserved murals with bright colors, you must be careful. This is an anti-theft method that is easily seen in ancient tombs of the Qing Dynasty."

"Isn't the real treasure hidden behind this colorful mural?"

"Not necessarily. Taking our location in the Northeast as an example, the people of the Qing Dynasty believed in Tibetan Buddhism, which is also a type of Buddhism. Therefore, the head of the coffin or the most important treasure must be buried in their ancient tombs.

In the southwest corner." Wushuang took out a compass from his bag. In a dark ancient tomb, people can easily lose their sense of direction. He didn't like the direction determination of modern instruments, and still used to touch the tools passed down by Jin Xiaowei's ancestors.

.

The compass is surrounded by dense traditional Chinese characters, and there are records of Yin and Yang, Bagua and Qimen Dunjia. However, with the development of science and technology, people are only familiar with its role in pointing the direction.
