Chapter 887: The woman who died tragically and the head of Jingguan
"Okay, we're cleared. Have you brought your gas mask and oxygen mask?" Young Master Tang asked.
"Yes, I brought them all!" Everyone nodded.
"Okay, now expand the hole. The air in this underground palace has been fermented for hundreds of years. Who knows what is inside. Remember to wear gas masks and oxygen masks to prevent problems." Tang Dashao said.
"Don't worry, Mr. Tang." Ahu said with a smile.
"Okay, Lin Xuan, now start to expand the entrance of the cave." Young Master Tang said.
In fact, although Mr. Tang has not yet entered the underground palace, he almost knows everything about the situation in the underground palace.
The construction area of the underground palace is not small, and it is divided into upper and lower floors. The lower floor is what Young Master Tang and the others are about to open up!
In the lower level, there are many corpses. The most bizarre thing is that there is a temple composed of skulls, which is extremely scary and frightening.
The so-called Jingguan is a high tomb built in ancient times to show off martial arts, gather enemy corpses and seal the earth.
The temple in the underground palace is indeed composed entirely of heads, with no corpses.
In addition to a large number of corpses, there is a coffin in the center of the underground palace. The entire coffin is divided into four layers, and the last layer is the real coffin!
Young Master Tang and the others expanded the entrance of the cave, and after enough people could get in, two people were left to continue expanding the entrance of the cave, while the rest went into the underground palace to explore.
Everyone enjoyed exploring Genghis Khan's mausoleum. Everyone brought high-power searchlights, illuminating your brother's underground palace as if it were daylight.
"Mr. Tang, there are a lot of dead people here." Huzi seemed to be more scared when he saw the dead...
However, the entrance chosen by Young Master Tang and the others seems to be a burial chamber, where at least dozens of people died.
Young Master Tang randomly detected the identity of one of them...
"Princess Muhua, the Mongolian, the princess of the Duogu tribe, Temujin..."
In addition to Princess Muhua, Young Master Tang randomly inspected dozens of corpses and found that all the people here should be women, and they had a high status during their lifetime.
Some were princesses, some were daughters of great nobles, and some were daughters of officials from the Song and Han Dynasties. These people did not die of natural causes, but were killed and buried here.
What ultimately matters is that these people all have the same identity, that is, the wife of Genghis Khan Temujin!
Among these people, most of them were snatched away by Temujin. Some were sacrificed by the tribe after Temujin regained the tribe. Some had husbands killed by Temujin and occupied them. Some were brought to the tribe by Temujin.
In the process of conquering the city, a woman was captured at random.
In short, the people who died here are very pitiful.
They did not die naturally, nor were they killed, but starved to death...
Young Master Tang didn't understand what kind of custom this was. In short, he felt that these women were very sad. None of them gave birth to Temujin's children during his lifetime. After Temujin's death, they were all buried here.
Before being buried, everyone took a special medicine. After taking this medicine, the whole body would gradually become paralyzed, motionless, and then be slaughtered.
These people took this medicine and were then thrown into this tomb. No one cared about them. They were hungry but couldn't eat. There were even some plates and bowls here, which contained food that had already been eaten.
I don’t know what has become food after hundreds of years...
They watched the food right in front of them, but they couldn't move. In the end, they could only look at the food and starved to death!
Is this the cruelty of the ancient burial system?
Being starved to death is not as satisfying as the result. You can imagine what kind of pain these women experienced during their lifetimes...
"Don't touch them, they are all poor people." Young Master Tang sighed softly.
Although these people were starved to death, they still wore the best clothes and the best accessories. But at this time, Young Master Tang did not want to touch these things.
Perhaps, this is the last hope for these women before they die!
This is probably the first time in Mr. Tang's life that he has seen wealth without moving...
You must know that before seeing Lu Zigang's remains, Young Master Tang touched him all over. The king he met later in Burma even didn't let go of his coffin...
This time, the beads, earrings, etc. worn by these women were absolutely top-notch items. However, Mr. Tang didn't want to touch them at all...
"This is a burial tomb. Looking at the pictures in the tomb, these people should have been Genghis Khan's concubines during their lives," Hu Ge said.
"Well, you can tell by looking at the accessories scattered around, they are all top quality." Ye Qun nodded.
"Okay, let's ignore this tomb for now and go to the next tomb." Young Master Tang said.
Everyone left the burial chamber and were shocked as soon as they left the door of the tomb...
Because what comes next is even more terrifying...
The heads are all heads, and they are formed into strange shapes...
"Hiss... this is a view of the head. Damn it, how many people did Genghis Khan kill and be buried with him? But why are only the heads left among the funerary objects?" Hu Ge said in surprise.
"Look, there is writing on this stone wall, but it's not in Chinese. Who can understand it?" Ye Hua said.
"The writings on the stone wall explain this human-headed temple. The names recorded on them are all famous generals or tribal leaders during their lifetimes."
"They all failed in the battle with Temujin and were eventually beheaded. Unexpectedly, Genghis Khan actually kept all these people's heads and made them into Jingguan. He is really a god of murder!" Young Master Tang sighed!
road.
Major General Tang's spiritual energy moved towards the head on top...
"Zhamuhe, male, Mongolian..."
Jamuhe?
Just by hearing this name, Young Master Tang knew that this man was also a hero on the grasslands and one of Temujin's main opponents in unifying the Mongols. He and Temujin were brothers at first.
Later, the two broke up and Zhamuhe was defeated and killed. Unexpectedly, his head actually appeared here.
Young Master Tang continued to probe downwards and found that the heads below were indeed of extraordinary status, including tribal leaders, generals from the Southern Song Dynasty, Xixia, Jin and other countries...
Temujin gathered the heads of all his opponents in his life and buried them for him. Is it possible that he was afraid that he would be lonely underneath and have no opponents?
What a difficult person to understand...
In addition to this Jingguan, there are three burial chambers surrounding it.
Horses were buried with him in one of the tombs, cattle and sheep were buried with him in another tomb, and people were buried with him in the last tomb. These people were all prisoners he obtained during his last stop...
In addition to these burial chambers, there is the main tomb. The main tomb is very wide and contains almost nothing except a coffin...
This coffin is similar to the coffins that Mr. Tang saw in Myanmar before. The outermost layer is made of stone, with various patterns carved on it.
The only difference from the previous coffin is that this coffin is much larger.
The coffin in Myanmar only had two floors, but this coffin has four floors...
The first layer is made of stone, the second layer is made of gold, the third layer is made of jade, and the fourth layer is made of golden nanmu!
There are layers of coffins on top of each other, and each layer of coffins is a huge treasure. The only thing that gives Young Master Tang a headache is how to take away this coffin...
Carrying the whole thing away is unrealistic!
After all, the first layer of stone coffin is heavy enough. If you add a layer of gold, a layer of jade, a layer of golden nanmu inside, as well as the body and funerary objects inside, it may exceed 10,000 kilograms...
Even Young Master Tang is helpless with such a heavy thing...
"How can we take away such a big guy?" Ahu said depressedly.
When we were in Myanmar, the Xu family could help. There were black bears who helped to push them out, and the Xu family took them away by helicopter in an honorable manner, but this is troublesome...
Apart from anything else, it's not easy to get this thing out of the ground, let alone transportation...
"Well, it's a bit troublesome. This coffin is a treasure." Young Master Tang was a little reluctant to part with it.
There are two treasures on this floor. The first is the coffins on these four floors, and the second is the accessories worn by those women!
Young Master Tang has already planned to give up those accessories. If he gives up the coffin again, wouldn't it mean that he won't get anything from this level?
Young Master Tang will definitely not be reconciled to this...
"Young Master Tang, this coffin is so big, it should be divided into several layers." Hu Ge said.
"Well, it should be layered. If I read it correctly, it should be divided into four layers." Young Master Tang said.
Each of these four layers of coffins is priceless. Even the outermost stone coffin can probably be sold for tens of millions, let alone the more valuable gold coffins and jade coffins inside.
And a golden nanmu coffin.
"It's divided into four layers. Maybe we can think of a way to transport it out piece by piece." Hu Ge said with squinted eyes.
"Piece by piece? How to transport it?" Mr. Tang frowned.
"Hey, it's easy. We have a cutting machine, just cut it." Hu Ge said.
"Cut it directly? It will cost a lot in terms of value." Young Master Tang said depressedly.
"Mr. Tang, in the antique business, I remember there should be someone who specializes in repairing these things. Let's cut them up and take them away as much as possible. When we get them, we can repair them."
"It would be a pity if we put it here. Didn't the plan we formulated to blow up this underground palace? I'm afraid this coffin will not be spared by then..." Hu Ge said.
After hearing this, Young Master Tang frowned and thought for a while. He really didn't want to destroy cultural relics, but as Hu Ge said, they must destroy the corpse before leaving. If so, the coffin will probably be gone.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to cut it directly, take it away in pieces, and then repair it after taking it back.
Moreover, the most important thing about this sarcophagus is not the completeness of the coffin, but the archaeological documents recorded on it. As long as these things are taken out, it will definitely be a great supplement to the study of the history of Genghis Khan.
"Well, what you said makes sense, then just cut it into pieces and take them away." Young Master Tang nodded.
"It's weird, such a big underground palace is also Genghis Khan's mausoleum, so why does it only have so few things? Where are the burial objects? Genghis Khan destroyed countless countries in his life, so after his death, these few layers of coffins will not be left..." Ye Qun
Frowning.
"Haha, don't worry, this is a double-layered underground palace. There is another layer above our heads. We only need to go up to see a large number of funerary objects." Young Master Tang said with a smile.
"Go up? Where do we go up?" Ye Qun asked.
After hearing what Ye Qun said, Young Master Tang was also stunned, yes, where to go up from?
After scanning the entire underground palace completely, it turned out that the underground palace was actually separated, with no way up...
This is so fucking stupid...
"Well, let's look for it again. It's really easy to find it. How did we get here? Let's do it again soon. Just make a hole in the head and go up." Tang Dashao said.
"Well, this is a method. Fortunately, it has a cutting machine. Otherwise, we would have to be blinded when facing this underground palace. It's a pity that explosives cannot be used indiscriminately. Otherwise, there would be no need for such trouble." Ye Qun said.
There is quicksand above the underground palace. Just in case, Young Master Tang and others did everything by hand this time, but they didn't use any explosives...
The next step is to work on water grinding. I didn’t bring much with me, so I brought a cutting machine. First, I made the hole big enough, took the cutting machine up, and then returned to the ground and brought a ladder.
Make a hole in the head again...
This time, Young Master Tang didn't give any advice, and the location of Lin Xuan's hole was also very funny. It happened to be Jin Jin's room...
Sizzsssssssssss...
The sound of the cutting machine sounded again, and countless gravel chips began to fall. This layer was about half thinner than the layer below, so this cutting was relatively easy. It was just opening a hole.
when, there was a sudden snap...
Something fell down...
Ye Qun picked up the thing, took a look at it, and said in surprise: "Gold ingot?"
"Haha, this should be considered a five-tael gold ingot in ancient times." Young Master Tang said with a smile.
"Well, it's almost the same. It's not too heavy. Haha, I'll keep this one as a souvenir." Ye Qun said with a smile.
"Take it if you want. There will definitely be more." Young Master Tang said with a smile.
Ye Qun unceremoniously stuffed it into his pocket. It was just a gold ingot, but it was nothing to the entire mausoleum of Genghis Khan.
Soon the hole was enlarged, and more and more gold ingots fell from above...
"We should go up there and take down the bags we prepared in advance." Young Master Tang said with a smile.
"Well, let's go out together. You continue." Ye Hua smiled.
At the moment, Tang Da brought a dozen people up to look for things, while a dozen others were still cutting stone slabs below.
Coming out of the cave, Young Master Tang opened his oxygen mask and took a deep breath. In the depressing environment below, the sea was really making people feel dizzy.
"Huh? Why is it windy? Something's wrong, something's wrong, it's not good, it's a sandstorm!" Huhe's expression changed drastically...
In the desert, sandstorms are the most terrifying weather. A sandstorm can even bury an ancient city...
