Chapter 376 As soon as Yitian comes out, who will compete with him? (1)
"Brother Qing, we finally found the tomb! It is simply a palace, not a mausoleum for ordinary people!"
After the "thousand catty gate" was opened, Lin Haitao shouted in great surprise.
He Qing nodded solemnly and said in a deep voice: "Yes, only imperial mausoleums can reach this level!"
Lin Haitao nodded in agreement and said: "You are right, this should be Cao Cao's mausoleum. Although Cao Cao was not king at the time, he still held a high position. After his death, he will definitely be buried generously. The size of the tomb will not be smaller than that of the emperor. Brother Qing, the tomb is now
The door is opened, what should we do? Should we go in directly, or?"
He Qing shook his head and said: "Don't worry, let's test it first."
At that moment, he leaned over and picked up a stone from the ground, and then threw it hard into the tomb. The stone fell to the ground and made a crisp "pop" sound. Other than that, there was no other abnormality.
Immediately afterwards, he threw a few more stones in different directions, but there was no abnormal reaction.
Seeing this, He Qing breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It should be no problem. You can go in, but we can't go in at the same time. Let's go in first and try alone to avoid what happened just now."
Lin Haitao volunteered and said, "Brother Qing, let me do it. I'll go in first."
He knew that there might be danger inside, and whoever went in first would be testing himself and might be injured, so he didn't want He Qing to take the risk and was willing to go first.
He Qing smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "I'd better go in first."
After all, he knows this ancient tomb better than Lin Haitao and has greater confidence.
Seeing that Lin Haitao was not afraid of danger and thought about himself, He Qing was vaguely touched. He thought it was good to have a friend who shared life and death.
At this moment, he and Lin Haitao are trapped in this suspenseful ancient tomb. Their lives and deaths are tied by a thread and they rely on each other.
"Brother Qing..." Lin Haitao was about to say something more, but He Qing waved his hand, signaling him to stop saying anything.
Then He Qing took steps and walked cautiously towards the tomb.
The moment he walked into the main hall, he was sweating coldly and his nerves were tense. Under such circumstances, anyone, no matter how courageous he was, would feel frightened.
After stepping into the main hall of the high and spacious tomb, He Qing suddenly stopped. He looked around carefully. Under the light of the flashlight, he could clearly see various furnishings, including lacquerware, ceramics, gold, silver, bronze and other furnishings.
The decorations are all arranged in an orderly manner, just like a place where living people live.
He Qing knew that this was the "Ming Palace" inside the mausoleum. Its layout was generally designed according to the main room where the owner of the mausoleum lived during his lifetime. All kinds of daily necessities were available, but some furniture had decayed due to the long time interval.
It's broken, and other artifacts are also somewhat damaged, either rusty or severely corroded by moisture.
He Qing observed the surrounding situation for a while, but did not find what he was looking for. It must be in other tombs, but he could clearly capture the chaotic red light emitted by the cultural relics, but they were not in the next door before.
The intense mass found through the wall in the tomb chamber.
At that moment, He Qing took a few more tentative steps forward, but found nothing unusual, and the "thousand-pound gate" at the back did not close automatically.
"Haitao. That's all right. You can come in too." He Qing turned around and greeted Lin Haitao. Since the stone door will not fall down and close automatically, there is no need for Lin Haitao to stay there. It is better for the two of them to go in and explore together.
The situation is good.
"Yeah. Okay." Lin Haitao responded happily, so he walked in and quickly followed He Qing's steps.
"Brother Qing, there are a lot of ceramics and bronzes here." Lin Haitao said.
He Qing nodded and said: "Yes, it just looks rough and has no collection value, so let's not touch anything."
Those cultural relics are indeed not high-quality collections. Even if they were all taken out, they would not be sold for much money. Of course, he was not interested in collecting them.
Despite this, its cultural relic research value is immeasurable.
He Qing had every reason to believe that if this ancient tomb was discovered by Master Pan and Che Juan's archaeological team, it would definitely be a miracle and would shock the world of cultural relics. However, He Qing had not considered this.
His top priority is to find the purple treasure and the mechanism that opens the stone door to go out.
He Qing and Lin Haitao then searched the main hall, but found nothing.
"Brother Qing, there are no traces of burials here? There are no bones." Lin Haitao asked puzzledly.
He Qing replied clearly: "There is none here. This is called the 'Ming Palace'. In addition to this tomb, there are other tombs. The corpse of the owner of the tomb should be placed in the 'Bedroom Hall' and the 'Party Hall'
They are mainly burial objects, right? Haitao, let's go take a look at the 'bedroom' at the back. There should be coffins there. If this is Cao Cao's tomb, then Cao Cao's bones will be inside!"
"Well, let's go take a good look!" Lin Haitao said enthusiastically.
It's strange that they don't seem to be afraid at all at this moment, but that's right, they don't believe in ghosts and gods, so they don't have to worry about any ghosts appearing here. What they are afraid of is just the mechanism hiding in the dark to sneak up on people.
Immediately, He Qing led Lin Haitao into a tomb at the back, and saw a huge coffin placed in the center. Except for the outer coffin, the coffin was still very well preserved and had not rotted.
It was impossible to see inside the coffin.
He Qing slowly approached the coffin with a flashlight, and Lin Haitao followed right behind him. The heartbeats of the two began to accelerate, and they became more and more nervous.
"Haitao, don't move yet!" He Qing suddenly stopped.
Hearing the sound, Lin Haitao couldn't help but startled, and hurriedly stopped and asked: "What's the matter, Brother Qing?"
He Qing said: "Try it first."
As he said that, he immediately leaned down, picked up a stone from the ground and threw it into the coffin. He only heard a "bang" sound, and the stones gathered in the coffin, making a harsh sound, but there was no other abnormality.
"Okay." He Qing breathed a sigh of relief, then continued to walk forward and stopped a few steps away from the coffin.
This tomb is also very spacious. In addition to the huge coffin, there are some furnishings around it. Most of them are pottery figurines and other utensils, some of which have fallen to the ground and smashed into pieces. He Qing and Lin Haitao are not familiar with those things.
Heart. What they are curious about is the situation inside the coffin.
"Brother Qing, look, there are a lot of jade stones on the coffin. What kind of jade is that? There are also some on the ground." Lin Haitao suddenly said in surprise.
After saying that, he knelt down and reached out to pick up a piece of yellow and white jade that fell at his feet.
"Haitao, don't move! You can't take that thing!" He Qing shouted hurriedly.
"What's wrong?" Lin Haitao was shocked and turned around and said, "Brother Qing, that's just jade, not something dangerous."
He Qing shook his head and said: "No! That's not jade!"
If it is an ordinary jade, it has gone through a long period of nearly two thousand years. Why does it not emit any spiritual light, indicating that the thing is not a cultural relic, but something else.
"It's not jade?!" Lin Haitao said in surprise, "Then what is this?"
He Qing replied: "That thing may be poisonous. It is placed there to deliberately tempt people, or it may be a drug used to repel insects. It is just like the camphor and other substances we put in the cabinet, which are poisonous."
"Ah?! That's it!" Lin Haitao suddenly realized, "No wonder those jade stones look a bit weird, not like jade, nor like Hetian jade."
He Qing said: "If my guess is correct, it should be 'fuyu'."
"'Fuyu'? What is that? Why does this name sound so scary?" Lin Haitao asked repeatedly.
He Qing replied: "Fuyu is also known as '覦(féi) stone', or simply 'insect jade'. It is said to be produced in a valley in the Middle East. This insect jade itself has many weird characteristics and has always been a legendary
A mysterious substance that is extremely rare.
"The ancient people believed that this kind of living stone has an evil soul attached to it. As long as a flame is burned near the insect jade, a large amount of black mist that is as thick as solidification will be emitted from it. After the black mist passes, all nearby objects exceeding a certain level will be emitted.
Materials with high temperature are corroded into pus.
"Once the rotten jade is placed in the tomb, it will be the most dangerous mechanism. Unprepared tomb robbers holding torches will die violently. Those who accidentally touch it will also be poisoned, and the palms may ulcerate, especially if they touch the wound.
It is more toxic, and the poisonous substances will quickly spread to the whole body along the wound, and eventually the whole body will fester and die."
"Ah?! No way?! So scary?!" Hearing He Qing's explanation, Lin Haitao couldn't help but let out a long breath of cold air, and cold sweat suddenly fell down his forehead. If He Qing hadn't stopped him in time,
, wouldn’t that have disastrous consequences?
He Qing chuckled and said: "That's just what it said in ancient books. Who knows the details and I haven't tried it personally, but it's best not to touch it. I'm sure that it's not jade for appreciation and has no value."
"Yes, I understand." Lin Haitao nodded hurriedly.
"Then Brother Qing, what should we do? Should we open the coffin?" Then he asked again.
He Qing pondered for a moment, then shook his head firmly and said, "I won't open it anymore."
"It's not open anymore?!" Lin Haitao said in surprise, "Wouldn't it be a waste of time to come here? If there is a treasure in this tomb, it must be hidden in the coffin. Since everyone is here, let's find a way to open it and take a look.
.”
"..." For a moment, He Qing fell into deep thought and did not answer for a long time.
He did not see a strong "treasure light" from the coffin, indicating that there might not be any rare treasures inside the coffin.
"Haitao, we won't open it anymore." He Qing confirmed again, "I feel something is wrong. There may be very dangerous mechanisms inside the coffin, because the body in the coffin is mainly protected in the mausoleum. Let's go. There is also a tomb outside.
, is the 'side hall', where the burial objects are stored, there should be good things, the key is that we still have to find the exit."
"Yes, I understand." Lin Haitao nodded hurriedly.
So the two of them turned around and walked out of the "dormitory". After all, they still did not move the coffin or appreciate Cao Cao's honor. Of course, after one or two thousand years, all that is left will be a pile of white bones, nothing interesting to see.
of.
After walking out of the "dormitory", He Qing led Lin Haitao towards the "side hall" at the end.
He Qing looked around and said, "Haitao, do you feel it? This place is very close to that cave."
"Maybe." Lin Haitao nodded.
He Qing said: "It must be, the distance is very close, otherwise the existence of the tomb next to the cave would be difficult to explain. In this case, can we open the stone door on the wall and get out of the cave?"
"Yes!" After hearing what He Qing said, Lin Haitao's eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "When we were in the tomb in the cave in the morning, we found that there was something wrong with the wall, but it couldn't be opened. Maybe we can open it from the opposite side."
He Qing said solemnly: "Yes, that's what I think, so we still have a way out."
"But where is that wall?" Lin Haitao asked.
He Qing said: "It should be against the wall of the 'side hall'. Haitao, let them go in and take a look first."
While talking, the two of them walked into the "side hall" side by side.
At that moment, He Qing's eyes widened and he saw a purple-red light shrouding the top, which was emitted from the treasure he had inspected before.
Finally found that thing!
