According to ancient tomb robbers, there are three oil lamps on a person's body, one on the head and two on the shoulders.
These three lamps are all yang fire in the human body. When walking at night, if someone calls your name, do not look to both sides. If you blow it out, you will attract ghosts.
Therefore, when robbing a tomb, you need to light a lamp in the tomb. If the ghost in the tomb does not let you rob the tomb, it will blow out the lamp. This is also an agreement between the living and the dead.
Of course, Qin Feng knew that this statement was actually a bit nonsense, and modern science had already answered it.
The real purpose of lighting lamps is because there is a lack of oxygen in the tomb. Tomb robbers light a lamp or a candle. When it is about to go out, it means that there is not enough oxygen in the tomb, and they need to evacuate quickly.
Some tomb robbers didn't take this seriously, and they died in the tomb due to lack of oxygen. People in ancient times didn't know what oxygen was, so they thought they were killed by the ghosts in the tomb. That's why it was said that this person lit candles.
, the rumor of a ghost blowing out a lamp comes.
But do as the Romans do, and you must love what you do. When you come to this strange and unpredictable ancient tomb, even the bold Qin Feng couldn't help but feel uneasy and lit the candle.
"It's better to collect the remaining things in the tomb first, and finally open the coffin!"
Qin Feng thought for a moment and did not rush to search the sarcophagus. Instead, he walked around and put some ceramic figurines and gold and silver products that had fallen on the ground into the backpack behind him.
Mainly because it was Qin Feng's first time to go down to the tomb. Although he didn't shy away from being intimate with the thousand-year-old ghost, he still had some obstacles in his heart. He wanted to wait for the smell in the coffin to dissipate a little before he could do it again.
Go get what's inside.
"Hey, there are a lot of good things, aren't there?"
Originally, after arriving at the main tomb, apart from dust, there were not many things falling on the ground.
But when Qin Feng took a closer look, he discovered that around the tomb, the green brick walls had collapsed due to constant water accumulation, and a lot of soil had accumulated together, causing the entire corner of the tomb to be covered with soil.
When Qin Feng used the engineering shovel to carefully remove the soil, the burial objects left underneath were immediately revealed, and Qin Feng's eyes lit up.
Among the cultural relics unearthed in the Tang Dynasty, various pottery figurines represented by Tang Sancai are the most valuable. Qin Feng just cleared out a corner and discovered more than ten statues such as the ceremonial guard figurines, the little female figurines with double high buns, and the horse riding figurines.
, hood figurine, pottery camel, pottery figurine.
In addition, there are some bronze mirrors, tomb beasts, figurines of heavenly kings and other objects. Although these objects are not large in size, their shapes are very exquisite and their facial expressions are lifelike. They can be regarded as the best among pottery figurines.
"Baby, even with these things, this trip is not in vain!"
Qin Feng took out a bottle of mineral water and mixed the soil to make it moist. Every time he cleaned up an object, he smeared it with a layer of plaster, then wrapped it in a towel and carefully put it into his backpack.
.
Anyone who knows about collections knows that the most feared thing about unearthed cultural relics is weathering. These objects have been buried underground for thousands of years. When a large area is exposed to oxygen, the surface of bronzes and ceramics will oxidize.
Some wooden products have even rotted into powder in front of archaeologists. In a large Spring and Autumn tomb unearthed in Eastern Shandong, those precious scriptures were damaged in this way. Many archaeologists regret it. Out of reach.
Zai was born in the royal family of the Qing Dynasty, and his knowledge was far beyond that of ordinary people in the world. He was also familiar with the royal family's methods of preserving precious cultural relics.
The soil under the ground has not seen sunlight for thousands of years. The earth's energy is gathered in it, which is regarded as the most yin place. Wrapping cultural relics with this soil can isolate them from oxygen and prevent the cultural relics from deteriorating for a period of time. Oxidation.
As long as the tombs are out, both Qin Feng and archaeologists will find ways to preserve these cultural relics. Therefore, Qin Feng's tomb robbery will fundamentally cause less damage to cultural relics than national archaeological excavations.
"Huh? What kind of figurine is this?"
When Qin Feng finished cleaning the three corners and came to the southeast, a strange-looking thing exposed out of the mud attracted his attention.
This thing is flat, slightly smaller than a baby's hand, and looks like a head, but if you look closely, it looks like a monkey.
"Could it be the zodiac figurines?" Qin Feng threw away the engineering shovel and used both hands to pull up the soil. The ceramics were extremely brittle and could be damaged if not careful.
"What... what is this? How come the zodiac animal head still has a human body?" After a few minutes, Qin Feng cleaned out the pottery figurines in the soil. When he saw it, he was stunned. Living.
This pottery figurine is about 20 centimeters high. It should be molded from clay red pottery, with other colors on it.
The most rare thing is that this is a pottery figurine with the head of a monkey. It is actually a human body wearing a robe with large sleeves. It has its hands clasped in front of its chest and stands respectfully, like a minister.
"Baby, this is definitely a treasure!" Qin Feng's hands holding the pottery figurine were trembling.
He had read no less than a hundred antiques and inheritance classics from Zaishi, but he had never seen such human figures with animal heads and zodiac signs. In other words, such things had never appeared in the cultural relics unearthed before.
What is the value of rare things? This is the case with the pottery figurines in Qin Feng's hands. If he is willing to take them out, I am afraid it will cause an uproar in the antique and archaeological circles at home and abroad.
"Damn, there should be more of the twelve zodiac signs!"
Qin Feng's heart suddenly moved. After preserving the monkey-faced and animal-headed human figurine with Yin soil, he immediately cleaned up the accumulated soil in the corner.
"Get rich, haha, get rich!"
Qin Feng's guess was indeed correct. As the soil was removed layer by layer, another eleven animal-headed human figurines also appeared. However, it was a pity that the chicken heads and snake heads among them were too far away from the tomb wall. Recently, it was smashed into several pieces.
Even if they are incomplete, these are priceless treasures. Qin Feng carefully collected them one by one. What he wants to learn later is antique restoration. Are he afraid that he will not be able to let this treasure see the light of day again?
"No, I need to go out and get some fresh air first..."
After finishing cleaning up the twelve zodiac signs, Qin Feng stood up. Suddenly he felt dizzy and almost dropped his backpack to the ground.
When he raised his wrist and looked, Qin Feng was immediately surprised. He was at the tomb at one forty, but now the hour hand was already pointing to three fifty. In other words, Qin Feng had been inside for two full days. It's been more than an hour.
Although there are blowers constantly transporting air into the tomb, the air underground is still very turbid. If Qin Feng hadn't taken a mouthful of oxygen from the oxygen mask from time to time, it would have been even worse.
Looking at the bulging backpack, Qin Feng did not hesitate anymore and quickly exited the main tomb chamber and followed the tomb passage to the place where he opened the robbery hole.
"Brother Feng, is that you? We are so anxious!"
When Qin Feng gently pulled the rope hanging below the robbery cave, Leng Xiongfei's voice suddenly came from above, but the voice was already crying.
"What's wrong? Get out of here and stay away from me!"
Qin Feng put the rope around his waist and let the people above him pull him up. But as soon as his feet touched the ground, he saw Li Tianyuan and Leng Xiongfei rushing over fiercely.
"Brother Feng, I thought something happened to you. I want to get down. Feizi won't let me get down!" Li Tianyuan firmly held Qin Feng's arm, with an aggrieved expression like that of a child.
Unlike Leng Xiongfei, Qin Feng is the closest person in Li Tianyuan's heart, and there is no room for any mistakes. In the past two hours, no matter how he called Qin Feng from above, he could not get a response, which really gave him a
Terrified.
"It's okay. I forgot to say hello to you!" Seeing Li Tianyuan's appearance, Qin Feng also felt warm in his heart.
In fact, according to the rules, the person who collects the burial objects should communicate with the superiors every ten or twenty minutes after going to the tomb. But after seeing the twelve zodiac signs, Qin Feng unknowingly spent more than two hours cleaning up.
But I forgot about this.
"Brother Feng, you scared us."
Leng Xiongfei's eyes were also red. Although Qin Feng was the youngest among them, he was the backbone of his family and took great care of him these days. Leng Xiongfei truly regarded him as his elder brother.
"Okay, don't talk about this yet."
Qin Feng looked at the morning star on the horizon that was about to rise, and said: "There are still some things that need to be cleaned up. Yuanzi, please take this package to the car first. Be careful, be careful, and never give it to
Crush it to pieces!”
"Brother Feng, don't worry, I'll carry you away!"
Seeing that Qin Feng was fine, Li Tianyuan's energy returned. At that moment, he carefully picked up the package filled with pottery figurines and bronze utensils, and walked along the field to the head of the village.
"Feizi, I can be here in twenty minutes at most. You need to pack up the things here first!"
Qin Feng turned around and told Leng Xiongfei that according to the rules of reverse fighting, one must exit the tomb before the rooster crows, and the last thing to be cleaned was the coffin. Qin Feng still had some taboos in his heart.
"Brother Feng, I will pack everything up when you come up!" Leng Xiongfei also nodded, grabbed the rope and sent Qin Feng down to the cave, and immediately began to clean up the things on the ground.
"No matter how majestic you were in life, you will be nothing more than a pile of bones after death!" A few minutes later, Qin Feng came to the sarcophagus again, and with the help of a strong light, he could clearly see the situation inside the sarcophagus.
Only one person was placed in this sarcophagus, which was covered with thick gold and silver quilts and clothes.
It's just that the corpse water after the corpse rotted away the clothes, and except for the skull protruding from the top of the sarcophagus, the whole body looked black.
"Grandma, all the good things are buried down here!"
Looking at the skull and the dirty and foul-smelling rotting corpse, Qin Feng felt entangled in his heart. He knew that there must be many good things under these brocade silks and satins.
"Damn it, now I know where those country mice smell."
Qin Feng gritted his teeth, turned his wrist, and a surgical scalpel appeared between the index and middle fingers of his left hand. After a moment, Qin Feng stood on the sarcophagus, just face to face with the head.
"Master, your word-cutting technique must be useful!"
Qin Feng took out a mask and put it on his face, murmured in his mouth, and touched the skull with his right hand like lightning. When he took it back, there was a brass button in his hand.
"Official seal? Yes, my friend Quan Dang took the opportunity to do the archeology this time."
Seeing this copper seal, Qin Feng couldn't help but be stunned. His trip was originally just to open up a way for "Wenbaozhai" to run antiques, and he didn't care who stole it.
But the appearance of this copper seal also represents the identity of the owner of the tomb. Even if Qin Feng doesn't want to know, it won't work unless he is willing to throw the copper seal back again.
"I said, your surname must not be Qin, otherwise I will steal your ancestors!" Of course, Qin Feng did not bother to look at the copper seal at this time, put it in the backpack on his waist, and continued to work.
Although he was mumbling something in his mouth, Qin Feng's left hand was not idle for a moment. He was pulled down along the brocade silk and satin. He heard a "chi la" sound, and the tangled rotten thing was pulled down by Qin Feng from the middle.
Cut it open.
The strong light used in the mine illuminated every detail of the small sarcophagus. Qin Feng's left hand was dismembering the body, and his right hand kept taking objects from inside.
Qin Feng's movements looked a little weird. He only used two fingers, but his speed was extremely fast. Every time he stretched out and retracted, he would always hold something, either a jade pendant or a gold and silver jewelry with a dark look.
In just seven or eight minutes, Qin Feng cut all the entangled rotten objects in the sarcophagus into pieces, and Qin Feng pocketed everything inside.
"This is the last step, finish and leave!"
Qin Feng raised his head and glanced at the second candle that was about to burn out. His body sank suddenly, and his hands touched from the head of the corpse to his crotch.
Putting his hands on the backpack on his waist, Qin Feng jumped off the sarcophagus, put away the engineer shovel, and rushed to the robbery cave without looking back.
Although Qin Feng knew that there might be things in other tombs, he had already obtained the most precious thing in this tomb. A man must be content. Qin Feng had understood this since he was eight years old.
After reaching the ground, Qin Feng said directly: "Clear the soil, fill in the robbery holes, and clean up all the traces around!"
Hearing the first rooster crow from the end of the village, Qin Feng couldn't help but jump wildly in his heart. No wonder he looked weird when talking about tomb robbing in the previous article. This job is really exciting.
Naturally, Qin Feng didn't need to do the filling work anymore. Li Tianyuan did it all by himself. After more than ten minutes, all the soil piled up outside the cave was filled back.
Leng Xiongfei, on the other hand, used corn stalks to clean the outside of the robbery cave, and then sprinkled a layer of dry soil on the ground. No traces could be seen around the robbery cave. (To be continued...
