After hearing this, Douyazai smacked his tongue: "Fuck, so this is a cleverly designed anti-grave robbery!"
I nodded: "Compared to the Guozhuang Chu Tomb in the quicksand and stone formation, this is just childish. This kind of boot tomb has only been found in Jincheng, Shanxi Province in the past. Maybe the tomb owner is from Shanxi."
Douyazai said: "Shanxi is thousands of miles away from here, how come people are buried here after death?"
"Who knows? There is a phoenix pendant here, which means that the tomb owner is most likely a woman. Maybe she was married from Shanxi back then."
Brother Yu said: "Yunfeng, thanks to your experience, I have never heard of this kind of tomb. Do you think we are under a tomb passage or a tomb chamber?"
How can I take over as the leader in the future without this ability? I thought for a while and said: "Brother Yu, the bricks we are stepping on now are 100% the bricks on the top of the tomb. The bottom leads directly to the tomb chamber. Just lay it down to find the coffin."
The boot tomb is very confusing, but the strength of the tomb's roof is average. Leaving aside traps such as accumulated stones and quicksand, the most difficult tomb roof is the "four-corner pagoda dome roof" from the Eastern Wu and Wei and Jin Dynasties. "
That kind of tomb top, if you don't understand the regular order and randomly draw bricks, you only need to draw the wrong one! Then the whole thing will collapse! Therefore, many tomb robbers in that period cooperated with the craftsmen who repaired the tombs. The craftsmen would secretly leave marks on the bricks when they were capping the tombs, and they later got a 50-50 split from both parties.
At the moment when the roof bricks were broken, a dark tomb that was well preserved, never disturbed, and had been sealed in dust underground for nearly 800 years appeared in front of us.
Before he went down, Dou Sprout suddenly sniffed and said, "What does this smell like? It smells so good, can you smell it?"
Brother Yu immediately said that he smelled it, like a perfume, and Douyazai asked me if it smelled like nanmu coffins.
I sniffed, frowned and shook my head: "No, the scent of nanmu is not that strong. It seems to be like the scent of some kind of Chinese medicinal materials. It's not poisonous. We'll find out if we go down and take a look."
After letting the rope slide down, the three of us took a photo with our flashlights. We were all shocked by the scene in the tomb.
The first thing you see is a large number of exquisite brick carvings! Painted character murals all over the wall! The brick carvings are all imitation wood structures, and large areas are painted red. The color is still bright after hundreds of years.
The tomb is not large in area, but it is magnificently made. There are stone tables, stone benches, and stone beds on display. In addition, there is a red-painted coffin placed horizontally on the stone bed.
The overall red coffin is intact, but its appearance is slightly deformed. One end of the coffin is carved with exquisite cloud-head Ruyi patterns, while the other end is plain and without patterns.
There was also a mural painted on the brick wall directly behind the coffin. I was shocked when I shined my flashlight on it!
The mural depicts a door, which is half open. A woman is lying on the door with half of her face exposed, staring at the few of us.
The woman on the mural has white paint on her face, but her mouth is very red, a bit like the Japanese geisha makeup.
Dou Yazai was also startled when he saw it, but he was brave. He immediately jumped on the stone bed and said to the woman on the mural: "Excuse me for your rest, beauty. Let me meet you. I am the most handsome man in Zhoushan, Lu Ziming. I am here today." The purpose of your boudoir is to borrow two dollars from you for spending money. If you don’t say anything, it means you agree, so I’ll take it.” After Dou Sprout said this, he started to pry open the coffin.
I said, "Don't talk nonsense because you don't understand. The woman on the mural is not the owner of the tomb. This pattern of women opening doors comes from Song Dynasty dramas and is a common theme in brick-carved tombs in the Northern Song Dynasty."
Dou Sprout didn't listen to me at all. He looked serious and only focused on prying the coffin hard.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, most tombs were buried together. If a woman could enjoy such a luxurious tomb alone, she must have been of high status during her lifetime, and there would definitely be good things in the coffin.
"Fengzi, you are so stunned! This coffin is a bit tight! Come up and help!"
I immediately stepped forward to help, and the three of us worked together to quickly pry it open.
moment! A scent that was several times stronger than before hit my face!
Douyazai held up his flashlight and shined it into the coffin, and the three of us almost screamed at the same time!
