In order to verify whether my inference is reasonable, I discussed with Brother Yu and others and decided to use the iron coupon to top the tomb next time.
Going prepared, this time I chose to go during the day.
Just take a look and you will know whether there is gold all over the ground, whether there is a red lacquer coffin, whether it is all joy but in vain.
.....
In the afternoon, we followed the secret corridor of the Jin'along Brick Chamber Tomb and entered the tomb.
I really saw the main tomb chamber clearly. Even though I was mentally prepared before coming, I couldn't help but feel a chill on my back and felt something evil.
The main tomb is dark and the air is dry. You can smell a faint smell of rotten wood. There may be an invisible gap where air leaks, and there is a layer of sand on the ground.
The two chairs were tilted this way and that, and a thick layer of dust fell on the legs of the chairs, making the whole tomb look empty and lifeless.
Dou Sprout turned his head and looked around, rubbed his eyes vigorously and said, "Damn it, what a ghost. Where is the jade, where is the gold vase and gold bracelet? The ground was full of them..."
Perhaps confirming his conjecture, Uncle Liao shook his head and said: "It seems that I am right. Everything happens for a reason. Whatever you want to see in your heart, that is your greed, and that special kind of profound hypnotic guidance will amplify the desire in your heart. greedy."
There was no way to refute Uncle Liao's words. Douyazai and I's dream of packing gold and jade in sacks was shattered. A basin of cold water poured down our heads, and the gold turned into sand and slowly flowed away from our fingertips.
"Oh shit....."
"Even if the gold is fake, this tomb is real! There must be a coffin! Where is the coffin?" Dou Sprout placed his hope of finding burial objects in the undiscovered coffin.
I also agreed with what Bean Sprouts said and nodded yes. As long as it is a tomb, it must have a coffin, right? After all, Jin Aaron loves Jin Youzi so much.
"Ah sneeze!"
"Xiaomi, are you cold?" I looked back at Xiaomi.
"No...no. Maybe I've caught a cold in the past two days. I'll be fine."
"I told you to stay and rest, but you didn't listen. You had to follow me." Uncle Liao helped Xiaomi button up his clothes with a distressed look on his face.
I didn't pay attention to this little incident, and immediately looked back and thought to myself: "Strange, the worst case scenario is that the funerary objects are stolen, just like the situation in Jin Along's tomb. It's really hard to say. Now Alxa Crouching Tiger hides "Long, there are many masters from the northern sect who have returned to Guan, and Master Yao is also there. I can come in. There is no reason to doubt that they can't come in, but then there must be coffins left. Where are the coffins?" I called. Turn on the flashlight and slowly shine it around you.
This time I didn't miss any detail, and I really made a new discovery.
In a corner on the east side of the main tomb, the soil layer is thicker, forming a small bulge that is easily overlooked.
I used a flat-head shovel to dig down from here twice, and found that the soil I brought out was all black, and there was charcoal in the soil, which became more and more the same as I went down.
I dug along here for a few minutes, and suddenly I felt the shovel head hit something. I expanded the area and pulled away the soil to take a closer look. It was the coffin lid, and it was a very small coffin, about one meter long, red. The coffin is black. The reason why the coffin has not rotted is because of the wood itself. I recognize this kind of wood. It is a dark wood with a layer of red paint on the outside.
It's probably not Gloomy Golden Phoebe, because it doesn't have the fragrance of Phoebe. It could be willow. Everyone gathered around to watch curiously.
"Such a small coffin?"
"For children?"
Uncle Liao was a little confused and said, isn't Jin Youzi an adult woman? Can't you lie down in there? Could it be that they were cremated and buried with ashes?
I don’t agree with Uncle Liao’s statement. In the past, people with wealth and status all wanted their bones to be intact after death. They treated death as if they were alive. They hoped that they could enjoy the glory and wealth in their entirety after going to another world. Therefore, most of them Some are buried.
Tell everyone to step back, I plan to open the coffin and take a look.
Grave robbers have skills in opening coffins. If they encounter a large wooden coffin (more than 5 tons), they usually use a saw (now a chainsaw) to cut a neat opening in the coffin, and then poke their head into the coffin to take a look. Take whatever is valuable.
The experience of most people in the industry is that after a wooden coffin has been stored for hundreds of years, if the middle part of the coffin lid is the most vulnerable without being damaged, they will choose this place to smash the coffin to pieces. It is important to act quickly.
If it were to be handled by the archaeological team, it would be done very slowly and carefully. They would use a small brush to brush it cleanly, then take photos, measure the dimensions, draw a sketch, make a mold, and finally open the entire coffin. If you encounter a large coffin of the size of a prince, the whole coffin will be lifted out and transported to the laboratory separately. For example, for Liu He's coffin, three cranes were dispatched, and a two-kilometer slide was paved with wooden squares. Just open the coffin and open it. More than half a year.
Archaeologists hate tomb robbers, and it is also because of this destructive nature. In order to quickly obtain the funerary objects, they used chainsaws and axes to smash the coffins to pieces. For this, I can only say sorry.
I used the shovel as an axe, and hit the middle of the small coffin hard. Suddenly, water began to gush out from the lid of the coffin. It was very turbid and black water. It shocked everyone. No one expected it. Why is there suddenly water in the coffin?
It's strange. The rest of the place is very dry. I didn't see the funerary objects in the water-soaked tomb. In addition, there are no water lines on the brick walls of the surrounding tomb. Why is there so much water in the coffin.
After waiting for a few minutes, the water flowing out of the small coffin became smaller and smaller. I boldly opened the lid of the coffin and found that there was still half of the water in the coffin. The water was turbid and I could see a lot of floating objects like sand.
"I can't see clearly. Are the funerary objects soaked in water?" Bean Sprouts couldn't help but said, "I'll touch them to see if there's anything there."
Looking at the turbid muddy water in the coffin, I frowned and said, be careful.
"It's not like there's anything. There's an underground saltwater lake nearby. It's just underground water if it's not kept intact. What's there to be afraid of? Are there fish in the water?" Dou Sprout rolled up his sleeves, lay down and reached into the water, and started touching.
"What is this?"
He quickly took out something. I saw that it was two copper coins. They were Hongwu Tongbao copper coins. They were called Hongwu Ji Bureau famous coins in the antique shop. One was worth three laurels and the other was folded five and ten. The two copper coins had the words It's clear and has some rust, so it's not worth the money.
Douyazai fished out more than a dozen Hongwu Tongbao from the water, some big and some small. He immediately shouted: "Come and help, there must be something else."
Then several of us gathered around the coffin and groped around at the bottom of the coffin. This is coffin bottom fishing.
"Whose hand is this?"
Brother Yu frowned and said, "Why are you touching my hand?"
I let go again.
In addition to copper coins, we started to fish out things one after another. Xiaoxuan fished out a round iron powder box, and Brother Yu fished out several pieces of jade. I also gained something. I took out a whiteboard the size of a mobile phone.
There are calligraphy on the whiteboard. The writing is no longer legible due to blisters. It should be made of cow bones. People in the industry call this whiteboard. In fact, it should be called "dispatch book". Its function is to record the types of funerary objects. The quantity is probably similar to the record book used by people nowadays to hold weddings, recording who and how many gifts were given.
Only Liao Xiaomi found nothing with his hands empty. He seemed to be afraid, so he touched things in a small area.
Dou Sprout complained: "What are you doing? You are washing your hands there, you are such a waste."
He just finished speaking.
Suddenly, Xiaomi made a splash and fished out a large square box from the head of the coffin.
The box was wet and covered with black mud.
This thing is bigger than what everyone has fished out.
