"This hole must have been dug not long ago, even the soil is new!" I said.
"How is this possible? We observed carefully before setting off. There was no one else nearby, and there was no trace left behind." Lao Xuan said.
"This group of people are masters." Lao Ji said calmly, "Judging from the way they used the robbery holes, they are definitely not the work of gangsters."
I suddenly remembered what I saw outside Fuping's tomb, "I suddenly remembered that not long ago, there was a group of red-topped natives. Could it be that group of people who dug it?"
"I can't tell, but the hole was dug in a hurry. It doesn't look like it was made to get in, but more like it was made to get out! I'm afraid we were really beaten first."
"Don't be discouraged, Uncle Ji. If they fell well, they must have gone out the same way. It looks like something must have happened. I think the baby should be here anyway." Wang Mian consoled him.
Lao Ji nodded, "Then let's keep walking. Since someone has walked through the thunder for us, we don't need to be so mother-in-law."
We speeded up and walked for another ten minutes. We arrived at a thickened corridor. This section was more than twice as wide as the one we came from, and the decoration was much more elaborate. It seemed that we were in the main tomb area. At the bottom of this corridor is a huge white marble door, which is very transparent. Now it has been opened. Someone must have opened it from the inside.
Lao Ji checked the Yumen and found that the mechanism above had been destroyed. We went in through the crack in the door. The space inside was very large and pitch black. The power of the miner's lamp was insufficient and the illumination was not very thorough.
But we can already get a rough idea. This should be the main tomb. Lao Xuan swept it with his miner's lamp and shouted: "Uncle Ji, come and see!"
Hearing Lao Xuan's call, we ran over immediately. Without a strong light source, it was very difficult to see clearly what was in the tomb. I glanced around and saw a coffin in the middle of the tomb, but the coffin had been burned, leaving only black charred wood. It can barely be seen that it is a coffin.
"That's right." I remembered what my grandfather recorded in his diary. The tomb robber who escaped from the medicine corpse tomb told him personally that the upper level of the tomb had been ignited by a fire. The people who were fighting at that time, It's all folded inside.
I put the miner's lamp on the ground aside, and Lao Xuan put the one in his hand in the direction crossing me. After taking a rough look, we saw that there were two more ear chambers next to the tomb.
Lao Ji and I walked to the base of the coffin and turned on the flashlight. We saw that it was covered with inscriptions. I looked at it and could actually understand part of it.
The text above describes the life of this owner. It turned out that the owner of this tomb was a princess from the Song Dynasty. This princess is naturally beautiful and charming, and has countless fans and little fans. But she looked down on none of them, because her heart already had an owner, a young general who guarded the city. One day, she suddenly told the young general that the jade rabbit in her moon palace had secretly descended to earth. Now that Chang'e had found her, she must return to the moon palace to atone for her sins. (Of course the original sentence is not written like this), I hope the general will stop waiting for her and find a good girl to start a family as soon as possible. The young general was confused at that time, and the princess fell into a coma after saying this.
The general thought that the princess would wake up, so he built an underground palace for her here. He also found a thousand-year-old blood jade and preserved her body, hoping that she could renew her relationship when she returned from the moon palace. It's very verbose, and it also describes in detail some anecdotes about her life, saying that she had a pair of red eyes and could see through people's hearts. Almost everyone's true colors were revealed as soon as they stood in front of her. Of course, only that general treated her sincerely. After listening to my explanation, Lao Xuan sighed: "It's so powerful. Fortunately she died, otherwise all the men in the world would be finished."
I laughed, "That's not necessarily true. Ancient people were very good at boasting. You have always read the story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai. After death, people can turn into butterflies and fly together."
"Anyway, we finally know who we are fighting against. However, the coffins have been burned, and the funerary objects inside are probably gone, right?" Lao Xuan asked.
I have read the inscriptions on the other side, and they are almost the same, with the same content. Other than that, there is no other record that can be used as a reminder. While I was studying some other inscriptions that I couldn't understand, Wang Mian made a new discovery, "Look, there are several skeletons here."
I walked over and took a look, and sure enough, there were five skeletons lying on the ground. It can be inferred from the size of the skeletons that they were two women and three men, and there were some signs of fighting at the scene. But judging from the placement of the skeletons, they were neatly placed in the corner, and it was obvious that they had been restrained.
Lao Ji and I looked at each other, and there was no difference. These five skeletons should have been collected by my grandfather after entering the medicine corpse tomb. And it was from one of the corpses that he found the brass key, and then opened the lower Han tomb.
At that time, when I was reading my grandfather's diary, I always thought that only one key could open the ancient tomb. However, according to Lao Ji, to open the Qibao exquisite lock in the ancient tomb, you must use the Canglong Qisu key, and the Canglong Qisu key There is obviously more than one key.
"How did grandpa open the Qiqiao exquisite lock with a key?" I couldn't help but wonder.
"Look at this skeleton. All the bones are black. I think it must not be a normal human being." Lao Ji said.
"This is probably the real person in the coffin." I said.
"Can't be wrong."
At this time, Yan Yunshu and Mu Yunhe came forward. They seemed to be a little interested in these skeletons, especially Yan Yunshu, who had red eyes and seemed to be suppressing her emotions. Seeing her like this, I wisely got up and left. Before leaving, he patted Lao Ji and took him away with him.
Lao Ji was reluctant to leave at first. This guy had a hobby, and he especially liked to study corpses. Like a forensic doctor, he always felt that he could find clues from the dead. Of course, from the perspective of Dragon Searching Taibao's methods, this is indeed a science, and it is similar to forensic medicine. However, mysteries are mysteries, and they are the gate of all mysteries. Every sect and every discipline likes to engage in some metaphysics to fool laymen and show off their own mysteries.
I saw Yan Yunshu staring at the corpses for a long time. I couldn't see her expression, but I roughly guessed that she was feeling uncomfortable, even if she deliberately concealed it.
Lao Ji ignored them and took Wang Mian to look for them. They had only been gone for five minutes when we heard Wang Mian's call from here.
"Here's a coffin."
"What's so strange about the coffin?" Lao Xuan said disdainfully. However, this guy said his disdain, but his body was the most honest. He rushed over in a hurry, for fear that those who went to eat would not be able to drink the soup.
We didn't dare to delay here. Yan Yunshu adjusted her emotions and left the tomb with Mu Yunhe. When we got there, we found a row of coffins placed in a tomb, with as many as seven people in them.
"Seven Stars Beidou?" Mu Yunhe asked doubtfully.
"Professor Mu, you are right, this is indeed the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper." Lao Ji turned around and said, "However, we were late, and these coffins were all pried open."
"What?" Mu Yunhe was shocked and hurried over to take a look. Sure enough, he saw signs of prying under the coffin lid. He was immediately horrified, "This, this... is simply unconscionable!"
"Hey, while others eat meat, we eat soup. Let's take whatever is left. We can't come here in vain." As he said this, Lao Ji took out the pry bar from his bag and pried open the coffin board bit by bit.
There was a slight gap in the coffin board. When I shined a light inside, Lao Xuan made a strange noise and looked at us with a look of confusion on his face: "Why is there a woman inside?"
"What happened to the woman? Is she still dead?" Wang Mian said disapprovingly.
"No, it's a young woman, no, it's a woman wearing a leather jacket."
Hearing what Lao Xuan said, we couldn't help but be surprised. When we went over and took a look, it was indeed a woman inside. Not only was she a woman, but she was also very fresh. She was wearing a leather jacket and had definitely been dead less than a week ago.
Lao Xuan wanted to reach in and grab something, but Lao Ji grabbed his shoulder with great force. The pain made Lao Xuan grin, "Don't move, the real owner is underneath him!"
We took a closer look, and sure enough, there was a corpse under the leather-clad woman. We couldn't see what it looked like. Lao Ji took out the black donkey's hoof and said, "It should be a black one. It's better to strike first."
At this time, Wang Mian pulled my clothes behind me and pulled me aside. He was usually quite cheerful, but I felt strange and asked him what was wrong. He pointed to the shadows of us cast by the miner's lamp on the wall opposite, and said softly: "Look, this is your shadow, right?"
I said angrily: "Why, are you even afraid of shadows now?"
His expression was not very good, and his mouth trembled when he heard what I said. I thought to myself, no, are you really scared to this extent? He waved his hand to silence me, and then pointed at the shadows: "This is mine, this is Lao Xuan's, this is Uncle Ji's, this is Lao Mu's, this is Miss Lin and the old lady named Yan. , have you seen them all? Including you, there are seven in total, right?"
I nodded and suddenly realized something. Wang Mian swallowed, pointed at another lonely shadow that was not with us, and asked almost crying, "Whose shadow does this belong to?"
I took a closer look at the shadow, and just as the shadow lowered its head, when it was raised, it became very huge, almost wider than his shoulders. This kind of fear could not be expressed in words, so I just I felt my scalp was numb, and I shouted uncontrollably: "There's a ghost!"
