Face to face with a dead person from two thousand years ago, I felt a little uncomfortable.
But the Sun brothers are different. I don't know what they are thinking, but I can get a glimpse of it from their expressions.
Sun Laosan looked at the bones in the coffin, sighed and said: "Ashes return to dust, dust returns to earth. I don't mean to offend you when passing by your place. I'm sorry to bother you. I hope you can be reincarnated as soon as possible." He bowed his hands to the surrounding coffins. .
"Be careful, don't touch these coffins. Let's walk forward and take a look. It's really strange. Why can't we see the mustard coffin? Could it be that the main tomb coffin went to heaven?" Sun Laosan continued talking. Lead the way.
The boy was still young, and the Sun brothers were used to seeing dead people. They called those bones white chocolate, but I was different. I was still frightened. After all, there were dead bones and rotten coffins everywhere.
I lowered my head and didn't dare to look around, and I didn't dare to express my anger.
Just a few minutes after walking, we saw a small stone tablet standing on the ground, with vague words on it.
He squatted down and used a flashlight to illuminate it, and stretched out his right hand to wipe the thick layer of floating dust on it.
"What is the third child you write about?" A mole asked.
Sun Laosan shook his head, "It's still six stacks of seals. I can't understand them at all, but I guess the records recorded in the six stacks of seals should be related to these female martyrs." He turned to look at the coffins behind him.
At this moment, a mole suddenly screamed, startling everyone.
Boss Sun hurriedly shined his flashlight, "I'm so surprised, Xiaohong, what are you doing!"
A mole came to us in two steps, his face pale.
"Yes...someone touched my butt just now!"
"It's a human hand! Not a bone! I can feel it!" After speaking, her face turned a little pale.
Boss Sun protected a mole behind his back. He frowned and followed the direction of the mole and shined his flashlight in it.
"Hands...hands...big brother's hands!" My sharp eyes were the first to see it.
Where the mole had just stood, there was a coffin behind her. The coffin was cracked open, and a dead man's arm that had not yet rotted was hanging limply beside the coffin.
This arm was highly decomposed, and there were many gray-colored maggots crawling in and out.
Sun Laosan covered his nose and leaned over to take a look. When he saw it, his face turned ugly.
The corpse in the coffin, judging from its outline and clothing, should be that of a man. The clothing style was obviously modern. Then, Sun Laosan covered his nose with one hand and pinched out a small bronze medal with a belt buckle on the waist and crotch of the corpse. .
Taking a closer look, I saw three characters engraved on the front of this small copper plate.
"Zhi Guo Chen."
Sun Laosan looked through the bronze medal carefully, and then turned to look at Sun Laosan.
Boss Sun nodded gloomily, "It's from the south..."
From his two intermittent conversations, I learned a little bit of information.
Among the northern and southern factions of tomb robbers, the northern faction is the leader, selling rice, earthwork, logistics, and loose soil. In contrast, the incisions of the group of native masters in the south are different. The person responsible for finding tombs there is called Zhiguo. Before the Qing Dynasty, he was called Yuanliang. The nature of this job is the same as that of our northern sect's boss.
There are goldsmiths and laborers down there, and they also have dedicated people responsible for logistics and supplies, which is similar to the northern faction.
The Sun brothers also told me a set of slang words passed down from the southern tomb robbers in the old society.
"Today I ask Yuan Liang (who holds the pot), one river has a view of two rivers, he can cut firewood on the mountain and light fires on the mountain below. If he has nothing to do, he can go to the Three Treasures Hall. May I ask how many gates you demolished and how much harvest you can get?"
So someone answered.
"The scenery of two rivers belongs to one river. We are originally a family. We have climbed mountains and ridges, watched the earth and caught dragons eleven times. We have visited the treasure palace many times and never returned empty-handed."
After listening to what the elder brother said and adding my analysis, I think it was two colleagues in the tomb robbing business who were trying to find out each other's reality and test each other's strength.
After confirming the identity of the corpse through the small copper plate, Boss Sun touched his chin and guessed: "Third brother, in my opinion, could this be an undercover crime? Although we don't know this person who may be named Chen. Guo, but just by looking at the word "pot", his status in their gang is not low..."
"Well... I can't say... The group from the south came down earlier than us, but I don't know where they came from, and now they have killed so many people. Brother, we have to be careful. .”
"That's natural," Mr. Sun nodded in agreement.
This underground palace is rectangular in shape as a whole, and there is a lot of space in front of it. I don’t know where it leads, so a group of us walked through the burial area and walked forward.
After walking for less than two minutes, there was another stone gate blocking our way in front of us. The difference from the previous stone gate was that the stone gate in front of us was one size smaller. On both sides of the stone gate, there were two strange bluestone sculptures standing on the left and right. .
Let me think about how to describe these two stone sculptures...
It has a triangular dog head, green-faced fangs, a unicorn body, human ears, and a pair of wings on both sides of the unicorn body. Its hind feet are firmly on the ground, its left front paw is slightly raised, and its eyes are protruding. The height of the stone sculpture is about two meters and three meters. The overall impression is very... Fierce, as if warning those who break into the underground palace.
"What a ferocious tomb-slaying beast..." The third brother held up a flashlight and looked around.
Tomb-suppressing beasts are all kinds of strange things, most of which were imagined out of thin air by the tomb owner during his lifetime. Like Feitian, they are part of the inheritance of funeral culture. Such strange and imaginary creatures are evil and ugly. In the past, there were two things that were least welcome in antique shops: tomb-suppressing beasts. Beast and pottery soul pupa.
Not to mention the national first-class bronze artifacts, these two bluestone tomb beasts were stolen and flowed into the museum. I guess the museum would not dare to put them in the exhibition hall because they might scare children.
"Third brother, look at the eyes of these two stone sculptures!" At this moment, I suddenly noticed a detail. The eyes of the two bluestone tomb beasts are slightly larger and smaller. Although the difference is not much, it can be distinguished by the naked eye. , asymmetrical in size.
Sun Laosan's face was solemn.
"The cross-eyed tomb beast is a big evil. This thing is very unlucky. Stop staring at it and leave quickly."
"Let's go? Where are we going, Third Brother? Isn't there a broken door blocking it?" A mole said with a frown.
"It's only a second door in such a large underground palace. It's not surprising. I'm sure I can open this. It will only take a day at most." Sun Laosan didn't make that much of a move.
"Just one day?" A mole said loudly: "Third brother! Have you gotten used to it after living down there for a few months?"
"Hey, Xiao Hong, you can't say that. We are not Sun Monkeys, and we don't know how to penetrate walls. What Lao San said is right. It is said that the seniors in the past can demolish the eleventh gate. We are nothing. of."
A mole gave the Sun brothers a look, and she stopped talking.
Look through the slit.
The stone gate blocking the road also has a sealing stone, but its size and weight are far smaller than the previous one. According to the Sun brothers' understanding, the door outside is the main door, and the door in front of them is the bedroom door.
Only when you open the bedroom door can you see the real owner.
