Grave robbing is not just a kid's play, it also involves scientific reasoning, and it's not like the scams on TV where corpses are everywhere, rice dumplings are jumping all over the floor, and corpse crickets are crawling everywhere.
Over thousands of years, most of the bones will rot into dregs.
Following the initiation and going down the tomb passage, Sister Yu shook her headlamp back and forth, observing some details that we might have overlooked.
If not for the fact that people in the world of tomb robbers say that Master Yao is awesome, just looking at this woman Yao Yumen is not easy. When she walked to the end of the tomb passage and looked at the stone wall for a while, she discovered another problem.
"Look, look here," she squatted at the northwest corner of the stone wall and turned to wave us over.
"Yumen, is this handwriting?" Yao Wence, who had not spoken much before, said at this time.
I knelt down curiously and took a look.
I saw a part of the stone skin peeling off where Sister Yu pointed. After the water under the pit receded, some mud dried up on the corner of the wall. I could vaguely see it like writing.
She took out a bottle of water from her bag and poured some on the wall.
The stone wall absorbs water quickly. After wiping it back and forth with your hand, a piece of handwriting slowly appeared.
"This... this is ancient bronze inscription... nine-fold seal script!" Mr. Sun exclaimed in surprise after seeing the handwriting clearly.
Sister Yu frowned: "Curious Tomb, as far as I know this kind of writing has been discontinued in the late Shang Dynasty. How come people are still using it in the Western Zhou Dynasty?"
We splashed water again.
Then we discovered that the entire stone wall, well-proportioned, was actually engraved with nine folds of ancient bronze inscriptions!
Everyone was startled, and Boss Sun immediately came up with a guess: Could this be the epitaph of the tomb owner?
"Yes, is it possible that it is an epitaph?" Lao San also agreed.
Sister Yu shook her head after being shocked and said: "It's unlikely. Epitaphs haven't become popular in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Have you ever thought that this wall...may be a door?"
"Door? What do you mean?" I couldn't understand.
Sister Yu took out a strong flashlight from her bag. She touched the stone wall, inch by inch.
Several other people from us also helped touch it when they saw it.
After searching for a long time, I touched the stone wall up and down, left and right, back and forth several times, but found nothing except the nine-fold seal script that I couldn't understand...
Boss Sun said coldly: "Third brother, is there a detonator in the bag?"
"Brother, I brought four."
"Put the eye in and blow it up for me." A cold light flashed in Boss Sun's eyes.
"You are crazy!" Sister Yu stood up and stopped her: "It's okay to use explosives to open the initiation, but this is in the tomb passage! Do you want to bury us all alive?"
"Then what do you think we should do?" Sun Laosan was still calm.
"I'm going to look around. If it is really a stone gate, the craftsmen of the Western Zhou Dynasty should have placed tapstones when sealing the door. There must be hidden compartments left by the craftsmen around here. Otherwise, they would have to lock themselves in.
"
"Jade...Sister Yu." I raised my hand and wanted to speak.
Several people turned to look at me.
Taking a deep breath, I pointed to the west and said, "Sister Yu, there is a large pottery vat in the corner of the West Room, and there is a black hole under the vat, which seems to be quite deep."
"Let's go and take a look," she nodded and walked directly to the Xi'er Room.
When he arrived at the west room and saw the large vat, Mr. Sun walked over and pushed open the bluestone covering the vat.
Seeing the black hole at the bottom of the tank, he turned back and asked me: "Yunfeng, how did you know?"
Looking at the black hole, I said with lingering fear: "Brother, you don't know, I took out a dead man's bone from underneath. The smell was still there that day, but I don't know what happened today, but it's gone."
"Also, brother, there is a biting corpse horned fairy down here, but you must not reach in and touch it!"
Sun Laosan asked in confusion: "What is it? Corpse horn fairy? What is that thing? Isn't it a snake that bit your hand?"
"No, no, no," I shook my head like a rattle.
"It's definitely not a snake anyway, I can feel it."
"Xiao Yunfeng, what you're talking about...is it a beetle with a white tentacle on its head? It's a bit like a large one-horned fairy?" Sister Yu gave me a cold look.
I didn't see this thing that night, but Mrs. Liu told me that she said that the Corpse Horn Fairy has white tentacles. Doesn't this match what she said?
I thought about it and said, maybe so.
Seeing me nodding, Sister Yu and Yao Wence's faces suddenly turned pale, obviously.
"What's wrong, Miss Yao?" Sun Laosan asked her.
Taking a deep breath, she looked at me and said: "You can call that thing the Corpse Horn Fairy. I heard my uncle say that that thing only has a lifespan of two or three months, and it can only survive by eating carrion. It is a kind of
A very rare burrowing poisonous insect."
"This can only mean one thing," she pointed at the pottery jar with a frosty look on her face: "Ninety percent of the people down here are dead, and the time of death must not exceed three months."
"Get out of the way," Yao Wence took out an iron rod with a sleeve from his bag. This rod didn't have eyes on it, so I didn't know what it was for.
I saw him holding the end of the stick and stabbing it at the bottom of the vat.
After more than three minutes, he carefully retrieved the stick just like fishing.
The head of the stick actually brought up two large flat beetles!
Several people were startled because this beetle looked so strange. No one had ever seen it before and didn't know what it was.
These two flat beetles have many legs, which are comparable to those of centipedes. In addition to their mouthparts, the beetles also have a white antennae about one centimeter long on their heads, which is similar to the white beard of an old man. The whole look is ugly and weird.
.
"Pay attention to safety and don't get bitten. This thing is poisonous," Sister Yu reminded.
Yao Wencai, a man with a flat head, swung his stick and stepped on it with his feet.
The two beetles were stepped on and exploded, and some yellow-green juice burst out, which was fishy and unpleasant.
Sun Laosan swallowed and said, "What's next? Are we going to drill down from here?"
The diameter of the tank is very large. I made a visual inspection and found that as long as they are not that fat, normal-sized men and women should be able to get in. I was also wondering if my second brother got in by himself?
"Drill? Are you desperate for your life? This kind of beetle is poisonous, and I don't know how many more are down there. Why go down there to die?" Sister Yu shook her head and mocked Sun Laosan.
Sun Laosan might have been a little angry. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Oh, Miss Yao, do you have any suggestions?"
Sister Yu snorted coldly and said: "Yes, I received money from the king, but my brother and I are here only for my uncle's sake. I'm here to help find someone, not here."
I will risk my life by following you."
"If you want to penetrate this hole, we brothers and sisters will definitely not penetrate it."
"Excuse me, everything was fine just now, why did you suddenly start arguing?" Seeing that the atmosphere between the two of them was not right, I hurriedly came out to dissuade them.
"How about... how about we light a fire? Try to burn all these ugly bugs to death?" I made a suggestion.
That evening.
A strange scene appeared on the mountainside of Moth Mountain.
