The origin of Oracle is also a mystery.
The ancient Yue Kingdom and the ancient Shu Kingdom were both prehistoric civilizations. Except for some scattered patterns accidentally found in China, there are very few records in history books about this ancient civilization before the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. We are able to understand so much because of Sister Hong's extensive knowledge, otherwise her eyes would be dark and she would not understand anything.
Sister Hong fiddled with these bronze items back and forth, her brows furrowed as if she was thinking about something.
At this time, the leader said: "Yunfeng, let's work harder. We must get this done before that group of people comes. If you can see the funerary objects, it means that the main coffin is not far away."
After digging for a while, the cyclone shovel hit a thick stone slab. This bluestone was quite large. I had to call several people to come down and push it away together.
The bluestone slab had just been pushed halfway, when a smell suddenly wafted out from underneath and went straight into people's noses!
It's not just me, I can tell by the looks on other people's faces that everyone smells it. At first I couldn't smell it when it was covered with a board, but once I opened it, it smelled really bad, almost like the smell of a cesspit in a dry toilet in the summer.
I covered my nose and said loudly: "Why is this so smelly! Look up, isn't it really a latrine down here?" I was the closest, and I couldn't help but retching from the stench.
"Whatever happened to the cesspit, the cesspool must be lowered as well! Jihou's coffin is buried underneath! Yunfeng, you are lively and light. This is not very deep. You are the most suitable. We will use a rope to put you down, and you will go down with a flashlight." Feel the situation.”
"Ah?" I whispered in a low voice: "Boss you...are you trying to make me jump into the pit..."
Five minutes later, I tied a rope around my waist and warned my head to be careful. Then a few of them pulled the rope and lowered me down like a bucket.
It wasn’t very deep, and I stepped on the ground less than five meters after the rope was lowered. I flashed my flashlight up and down, and made a safe landing gesture to my head.
The rope was very long, so I didn't untie it. If there was another big four-legged snake down there, they would be able to pull me up in time.
Shining a flashlight around me, I saw at a glance that there was a huge bronze coffin lying across the northwest corner! The lid of the coffin was covered with dry black rust and a layer of rotten moss. Looking at it again, there was nothing around but the coffin.
The closer I got to the coffin, the smellier it became. I used to think there was a cesspit underneath, but now when I smell it, all the stench seems to come from this bronze coffin.
Is this coffin full of shit? Why does it smell so bad, but even if it is shit, why does it still smell after more than two thousand years?
I shouted loudly and reported what I saw to the superiors: "Head! Come down and take a look! There is a coffin!"
After a while, they all came down holding on to the rope. Everyone walked around the bronze coffin several times, but we had no idea where to start, because we found that the entire coffin lid and the space between the coffin were filled with copper water, and it was impossible to push it open with brute force.
"You guys stand back and I'll give it a try," beggar Liu pulled out the gleaming soft sword at his waist.
The sword is the king of weapons, and the soft sword is an alien species among swords. It can be soft or strong when used well. Ordinary people who have practiced soft sword for decades cannot even use it. The romantic beggar Huajian Liu is famous in the world, and it is not for nothing. From the way he chopped off Researcher An's head with one sword, it can be seen that this man has real skills in wielding soft swords.
"Ding..." The sound of gold and iron rang out, and Master Liu's soft sword was inserted into the coffin of the coffin without any bias!
Pulling out the sword suddenly, a small gap opened between the coffin lid and the main body. Although bronze is not as hard as pig iron, it is still a metal after all. This sword penetrated directly. You can imagine how powerful this sword is.
"Quick! Get the shovel! Pry it for me!" The head was delighted when he saw this, and hurriedly stuffed the cyclone shovel into the gap under the coffin lid.
Because it was so smelly, all of us covered our noses and mouths with clothes. Even if it was a coffin made of copper water, after more than two thousand years, the bronze has been severely rusted. Once a gap is opened, the rest will be nothing more than Just put in a little more effort.
After tinkering for an hour, Ding Dang Dang pried off his head with a steel shovel and relied on his own weight and leverage to finally push open a corner of the coffin lid.
Just after opening the door, a black smoke visible to the naked eye came out of the coffin.
I was the closest to Boutou, and Boutou shouted: "Danger! It's corpse gas!" He yelled, and quickly backed away, barely avoiding this small puff of black smoke.
My reaction was a little slow and I ran away, but I still took a small sip.
I felt a little dizzy for a moment, and at the same time my nose felt hot and I had nosebleeds.
"Stop walking around, lie down quickly! Someone will die!" The old man from Xiangxi shouted to me.
I lay flat on the ground, and after just a minute or two, I felt not only dizzy, but also uncomfortable and tight in my throat. It was like something invisible was strangling my neck, and it became difficult to breathe. At the same time, my hands and feet began to shake uncontrollably.
"Hold him down!"
The leader's face looked uncertain, and the other people held down my limbs firmly.
"Open your mouth and swallow it directly. Don't bite it." The old man from Xiangxi took out a small black pill from his small bag and stuffed it directly into my mouth.
I swallowed the black pills like a gulp, and then he took out a small ziplock bag. There was a handful of green willow leaves in the ziplock bag. The willow leaves looked fresh even when sealed in the bag.
He stuffed a handful of green willow leaves into my mouth and wouldn't let me chew or eat them. He told me to keep holding them and not let go.
After about five minutes, he said: "It should be almost done. Just open your mouth and spit it out. Be careful not to swallow it."
I spit out the willow leaves and saw that they were no longer green, they had all turned black.
Seeing the blackened willow leaves that I spit out, the old man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay. Fortunately, I didn't inhale much, and I happened to bring something with me. Otherwise, you wouldn't have survived for ten minutes."
Although I was still a little dizzy, I could feel that I was getting better. I struggled to get up and thanked the old man for his help.
The boss was relieved to see that I was safe, and he said sincerely, "Fortunately, I came down here to find Mr. Zhao this time. Corpse gas... us grave robbers are most afraid of encountering this thing. Once it is inhaled, Even the strongest person can't survive for ten minutes if exposed to something like this."
At this time, the old man from Xiangxi squinted at the bronze coffin. He said solemnly: "There is corpse gas, and the corpse gas is so strong that it turns black. This means that the person lying in the coffin is not dead yet, and only the bones are left in the coffin." I can never gather such strong corpse energy."
"It's okay if we can't afford the corpse, but if there is a corpse... the rope passed down from our ancestors to tie up the corpse is broken, so we can only use the money in the mouth. As for whether the money in the mouth can hold it down," the old man shook his head. "I can only pray for my ancestor's blessing and leave it to fate."
After saying that, he took out a plastic bag from his arms. The plastic bag had several layers, and the innermost layer was also wrapped with newspapers. The old man carefully unwrapped the newspaper and pinched out a pure gold copper coin with a heirloom coating. .
This gold copper coin is only three centimeters in diameter. It is a small flat coin. The four-character seal script "Yinggan Tongbao" on the face is read in a convolutional eight-point script. The calligraphy style is powerful and simple.
I was shocked because I recognized this kind of coin. This Yinggan Tongbao was cast by Li Shun, the leader of the rebel army during the Chunhua period of the Northern Song Dynasty. It ranks among the top 50 famous products of Guquan and is extremely rare. So far, only an iron small flat coin and a copper 5-coin coin have been found. Great treasure.
What's more, the one in the hands of the old man in Xiangxi is a gold Yinggan Tongbao... It has never been seen before, and it has never been recorded in the spring records of the past dynasties.
This should be a unique item.
