I felt a little uncomfortable coming face to face with a dead person from two thousand years ago.
But the Sun brothers are different. I don't know what they are thinking, but I can get a glimpse of it from their expressions.
Sun Laosan looked at the bones in the coffin, sighed and said: "Ashes return to dust, dust returns to earth. I don't mean to offend you when passing by your place. I'm sorry to bother you. I hope you can be reincarnated as soon as possible." He bowed his hands to the surrounding coffins.
.
"Be careful, don't run into these coffins. Let's go forward and take a look. It's really strange. Why can't we see the mustard coffin? Could it be that the main tomb coffin has gone to heaven?" Sun Laosan continued talking.
Lead the way.
The boy was young at heart, and the Sun brothers were used to seeing dead people. They called those bones white chocolate, but I was different. I was still frightened. After all, there were dead bones and rotten coffins everywhere.
I lowered my head and didn't dare to look around, and I didn't dare to express my anger.
Only a few minutes after walking, we saw a small stone tablet standing on the ground, with vague words on it.
He squatted down and used a flashlight to illuminate it, and stretched out his right hand to wipe the thick layer of floating dust on it.
"What is it written about?" A mole asked.
Sun Laosan shook his head, "I still folded the seals, I can't understand them at all, but I guess the records recorded in the folded seals should be related to these female martyrs." He turned his head and glanced at the coffins behind him.
At this moment, a mole suddenly screamed, startling everyone.
Boss Sun hurriedly shined his flashlight over, "I'm so surprised, Xiaohong, what are you doing!"
A mole came to us in two steps, his face pale.
"Yes...someone touched my butt just now!"
"It's a human hand! Not a bone! I can feel it!" After saying this, her face turned a little pale.
Boss Sun protected a mole behind his back. He frowned and followed the direction of the mole and shined his flashlight in it.
"Hands...hands...big brother's hands!" My sharp eyes were the first to see it.
Where the mole had just stood, there was a coffin behind her. The coffin was cracked open, and a dead man's arm that had not yet rotted was hanging limply beside the coffin.
The arm was highly decomposed, and there were many gray-colored maggots crawling in and out.
Sun Laosan covered his nose and leaned over to take a look. When he saw it, his face turned ugly.
The corpse in the coffin, judging from its outline and clothes, should be that of a man. The clothes were obviously of the modern style. Then, Sun Laosan covered his nose with one hand and pinched out a small bronze medal with a belt buckle on the waist and crotch of the corpse.
.
Taking a closer look, I saw three characters engraved on the front of this small copper plate.
"Zhi Guo Chen."
Sun Laosan looked through the bronze medal carefully, then turned and glanced at Sun Laosan.
Boss Sun nodded gloomily, "It's from the south..."
From the intermittent conversation between the two, I learned a little bit of information.
There are two factions of tomb robbers: the northern and southern factions. The northern faction has the boss, selling rice, soil construction, logistics and loosening soil. In contrast, the southern group of local masters have different views. They are responsible for finding tombs.
It is called Zhiguo, and before the Qing Dynasty it was called Yuanliang. The nature of this job is the same as that of our northern sect’s leader.
There are goldsmiths and laborers down there, and they also have dedicated people responsible for logistics and supplies, which is similar to the northern faction.
The Sun brothers also told me a set of slang words passed down from the southern tomb robbing trade in the old society.
"I would like to ask Yuan Liang today. You can see two rivers from one river. You can cut firewood on the mountain and light fires on the mountain. If you have nothing to do, you can go to the Three Treasures Hall. How many gates can you demolish and how much can you get?"
So someone answered.
"The scenery of two rivers belongs to one river. We are a family. We have climbed mountains and ridges, watched the earth and caught dragons eleven times. We have visited the treasure palace many times and never returned empty-handed."
After listening to what the elder brother said and adding my analysis, I think it was two colleagues in the tomb robbing business who were trying to find out each other's truths and test each other's strength.
After confirming the identity of the corpse through the small copper plate, Boss Sun touched his chin and guessed: "Third brother, in my opinion, could this be an underhanded crime? Although we don't know this person who may be named Chen.
Guo, but just by looking at the word "pot," his status in their gang is not low..."
"Well... I can't say... The group from the south came down earlier than us, but I don't know where they came from, and now they have killed so many people. Brother, we have to be careful.
."
"That's natural," Mr. Sun nodded in agreement.
This underground palace is rectangular in shape as a whole, and there is a lot of space in front of it. I don’t know where it leads, so a group of us walked through the burial area and walked forward.
After walking for less than two minutes, there was another stone gate blocking our way. The difference from the previous stone gate was that the stone gate in front of us was one size smaller. On both sides of the stone gate, there were two strange bluestone sculptures standing on the left and right.
.
I'm thinking about how to describe these two stone sculptures...
It has a triangular dog head, green-faced tusks, a unicorn body, human ears, and a pair of wings on both sides of the unicorn body. The hind feet are firmly on the ground, the left front paw is slightly raised, and the eyes are protruding. The height of the stone sculpture is about two meters and three meters. The overall impression is very...
Fierce, as if warning those who break into the underground palace.
"What a ferocious tomb-slaying beast..." The third brother held up a flashlight and looked around.
Tomb-suppressing beasts are all kinds of strange things, most of which were imagined out of thin air by the tomb owner during his lifetime. Like Feitian, they are part of the funerary inheritance. Such strange and imaginary creatures are evil and ugly. In the past, the two things that were least welcome in antique shops were tomb-suppressing beasts.
Beast and pottery soul chrysalis.
Not to mention the national first-class bronze artifacts, these two bluestone tomb beasts were stolen and flowed into the museum. I guess the museum would not dare to put them in the exhibition hall because they might scare children.
"Third brother, look at the eyes of these two stone sculptures!" At this moment, I suddenly noticed a detail. The eyes of the two bluestone tomb beasts are slightly larger and smaller. Although the difference is not much, it can be distinguished by the naked eye.
, asymmetrical in size.
Sun Laosan's face was solemn.
"The cross-eyed tomb beast is a great evil. This thing is very unlucky. Stop staring at it and leave quickly."
"Let's go? Where are we going? Isn't there a broken door blocking it?" A mole said with a frown.
"Such a large underground palace only has a second door. It's not surprising. I'm sure I can open this. It will only take a day at most." Sun Laosan was not that moved.
"Just one day?" A mole said loudly: "Third brother! Have you gotten used to it after living down there for a few months?"
"Hey, Xiaohong, you can't say that. We are not Sun Monkeys, and we don't know how to penetrate walls. What Lao San said is right. It is said that the seniors in the past can demolish the eleventh gate. We are nothing.
of."
A mole gave the Sun brothers a look, and she stopped talking.
Look through the slit.
The stone door blocking the road also has a sealing stone, but its size and weight are far smaller than the previous one. According to the Sun brothers' understanding, the door outside is the main door, and the door in front of them is the bedroom door.
Only when you open the bedroom door can you see the real owner.
