The tongue depressor hidden in the wet corpse's mouth is made of round white jade, which can be seen clearly by rubbing it.
The jade flesh is delicate and the jade is of high quality. There is a picture of a feathered man flying into the sky embossed in the sky. This jade can be sold for at least 50,000 yuan on the black market.
He asked me to move the half-length body of the tomb owner out of the coffin. I endured my nausea and started doing it.
I suddenly realized when I moved, why was it so light?
The portions are wrong.
If complete, I would visually estimate that this person is at least 1.7 meters tall in front of me, but I can feel with my hands that this person is currently over 20 pounds at most.
This is too light. Could it be that all the internal organs in the stomach have been emptied?
Putting the wet corpse down, I tapped the copper skin wrapped around his waist with a knife.
"Dangdang..."
"Head up, my stomach seems empty!"
The head was very surprised and asked me: "Yunfeng, are you sure?"
I said it really looked empty! I knocked again to hear the sound.
The copper skin was wrapped very tightly, and it took me a lot of effort to take it off. Then I was shocked to find that this man's waist was intact!
It’s not that he was cut in half! It’s because this man was born like this. He is a disabled person!
We then used a knife to open up some of the tattered clothes on the wet corpse. We saw that this man's stomach had been slashed open and then sewn shut.
The wound is like a centipede. It has been hundreds of years, and the thread made of who knows what material is used has not broken.
After being frightened and excited, Dou Sprout said: "Look, is there an Ashoka Pagoda in the belly of the corpse? Our Ashoka Pagoda was found in the belly of the mummy last time."
Do you have?
You have to see it to know.
As a result there is no Ashoka Tower.
It was full of shrunken organs and a lot of white, insect-like eggs.
Ah Chun couldn't help but come over and take a look, and then directly supported the wall and vomited.
I almost vomited it out, it was so disgusting, it was full of parasite eggs, there were too many of them.
This moment reminded me that a well-preserved wet corpse was unearthed in Hubei. The intestines were full of insect eggs visible to the naked eye. The deceased was a woman in her 70s. It is now in the Jingzhou Museum. Because it was well preserved, her legs were very thin.
It’s so long that some people call it the “old lady with beautiful legs”.
The man we dug up had no legs. He was born with a disability and suffered from parasitic diseases during his lifetime. He was a noble person in the ancient Bo tribe during the Song and Yuan Dynasties.
I speculate that people who are born with severe disabilities like this may have been treated as "prophet" by a few tribes in the past.
Maybe he met Li Xian or helped Li Xian during his lifetime, and was buried with him in this tomb after his death.
Achun said: "Wang Boutou, Xiaoxuan and I went to look elsewhere. This place is too disgusting. I don't want to stay here."
He nodded and said, "Bin, go with them to see if they can find clues to the main tomb elsewhere. Just leave this place to me and Yunfeng."
After the person left, he took out three incense sticks from his bag, put them on the ground and lit them.
I asked what this was for?
The head said: "Our northern sect has a rule that digging graves and opening coffins is just for money. If you deliberately destroy the body, you must either kowtow or light wax and burn incense."
"This is of no use, right?"
Like a black donkey touching a golden talisman with a black donkey's hooves, I think such things are of no use, only knowledge and means are useful.
He smiled and said, "Even if it's useless, it's an old rule. We might as well seek some psychological comfort."
I nodded and spent the rest of the time looking for other burial objects in the coffin.
After searching for a while, I turned around and looked.
He raised his head and stared at the top of the tomb.
"Boss, what are you looking at?"
Immediately, I noticed a detail.
Three incense sticks placed in the corner of the tomb were burning slowly, and white smoke floated up. When a few wisps of smoke drifted to the top of the tomb, they disappeared instantly.
This shows that there is something wrong with the top of the tomb!
If someone doesn't believe it, you can do an experiment and light a stick of incense in a secret room. You will find that the smoke will not dissipate for a long time.
I picked up a stone and threw it at the top of the tomb.
"Papa", the echo is crisp and clear.
"Hang... head, this... is this a mezzanine tomb?"
He squinted his head and said, "That's right... It's most likely a mezzanine tomb. It's so hidden. No wonder it can't be found anywhere."
Mezzanine tombs are very rare. As far as I know, there are only mezzanine tombs hidden in the Laoguanshan Han Tomb in Chengdu. That Han tomb was stolen more than ten times. None of the funerary objects in the mezzanine tomb were lost. Later I heard that they were made of high-quality materials.
It was discovered after technology scanned the entire ancient tomb.
I ran out quickly and prepared to call Achun and the others in.
After coming out, I found that the tomb passage was completely dark and I couldn't see my fingers.
"Brother Yu, why don't you turn on the flashlight?"
Suddenly, Brother Yu covered his mouth.
"Shh... don't make a sound, there are outsiders."
I broke away and lowered my voice and said, "Is there someone? How can there be an outsider? You saw it, who is it?"
Brother Yu also lowered his voice and said, "Just now, Achun and I heard the footsteps of someone walking at the other end of the tomb passage."
"Ya Zai, did you hear it too?"
Dou Sprout shook his head vigorously and said I didn't hear it.
"Brother Yu, did you hear it wrong? There can't be anyone else here except us. Even Qi Kuan was cremated."
"No, Achun and I both heard it just now."
"The others are guarding the front here, Yunfeng, let's go over and take a look."
You can't see anything in the tomb passage without turning on the lights. Brother Yu and I walked close to the wall in the dark, and deliberately controlled the sound of our footsteps.
When I reached the fork in the road, I stopped.
I heard crying.
It seemed like there was a man nearby, crying softly.
"who!"
I yelled, and Brother Yu rushed out at the same time and turned on the flashlight!
The strong flashlight illuminates the surroundings instantly.
no one.
Clean, nothing.
"Yu...Brother Yu, did you hear crying?"
Brother Yu stood next to me, his face turned pale and he nodded.
One person may be hallucinating, but two people are not. There was indeed a man crying just now.
Hearing my heartbeat thumping, I whispered in fear: "Brother Yu, how about we go to the Shinto and the platform to have a look?"
"Okay, turn off the flashlight, don't alert others, we can just touch the wall and walk."
I nodded and immediately turned off the flashlight, and the surroundings fell into darkness again.
Feeling in the dark, I walked to the Shinto where I came from. Two rows of stone statues were still standing here motionless.
"No! There's something wrong!"
"What's wrong?"
I trembled and said, "These stone statues are alive! The positions of some of them have changed!"
Brother Yu turned on the flashlight, looked at it and said doubtfully: "No, right Yunfeng?"
"No! It must have changed!"
I quickly ran to the middle and gasped: "Brother Yu! Pay attention to where their eyes are looking!"
"Before coming, these stone statues were looking directly at the Shinto corridor!
"This! And this!"
"The eyes of these two stone statues are now more than ten degrees to the left!"
"Someone touched them!"
At this time, I murmured to myself: "The entrance to the tomb...the mezzanine tomb...the earth mountain...the earth mountain..."
Closing my eyes, the structural diagram of the entire tomb emerged in my mind.
I opened my eyes instantly! Cold sweat broke out all over my body!
I didn't have time to explain, so I rolled and crawled and ran back!
Brother Yu didn't know what was going on, so he ran after me.
