"Damn it! The pot is boiling!" Dou Sprout shouted loudly.
The white air was mixed with the smell of corpses. If there was a smell of corpses, it meant that the person lying inside had not yet finished dying. I was so close that I choked and coughed.
The white air dispersed, and I looked into the sarcophagus.
It didn't matter at this sight, all of us, including the head, were stunned.
The first thing you see is a layer of red and black "mud". This mud should be the various organic matter remaining after the embalming liquid is dried. The smell is emitted by this red and black mud.
On the surface of the mud, there are scattered white and transparent jade pendants, jade walls as big as a palm, jade congs as big as mineral water bottles, pure gold carved gold plates, pure gold belt hooks in the shape of dragon heads, and pigeon eggs. Large and small single white pearl! Colorful glass beads! jackpot! Dragonfly eyes! Red sardonyx! Waiting for all kinds of funerary objects! When the flashlight shines on these treasures, the light shines brightly. Every piece of these that is circulated on the black market can be called a museum collection!
Dou Sprout has crazy eyes! My breathing started to get faster! But what shocked us was not only the burial objects, but also the wooden coffin inside!
Stone coffin wrapped in wooden coffin.
Stone as a coffin! Wood as a coffin! In other words, the original antiseptic coffin liquid rich in mercury completely soaked the inner wooden coffin! Completely cut off from the outside air!
Only a corner of the wooden coffin was exposed under the black mud. I wiped it gently with my hand and it was as bright as new! It looks like it was made just yesterday! The paint is so bright that it reflects our faces.
This is simply newer than the red coffin unearthed in Mawangdui, Changsha decades ago! In my opinion, only the "sea coffin" that is completely soaked in the sea in the South China Sea can have this kind of quality!
Dou Yazai picked up a red agate bead and shined it with a flashlight. The agate looked very crystal clear and exuded a trace of red light.
"I've made a fortune! I've made a fortune! Blood jade! This is the best blood jade that's been produced for hundreds of years!" Dou Sprout was very excited.
He kept his head calm and immediately ordered: "Put it on for me! Separate the gold and jade items!"
After collecting all the burial objects scattered in the mud, we took short crowbars and prepared to open the wooden coffin.
"Yunfeng! This coffin is so hard! What kind of wood do you think it is made of?" Brother Yu asked me.
"It should be a kind of hardwood from the south. I don't know exactly what it is, but it's definitely not rosewood, agarwood, or rosewood." I said.
The wooden coffin was sealed with six nails. We used tools to remove all the nails from the coffin.
I was about to meet the owner of the tomb, and I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous. Stone coffins are like this, and the burial objects in the inner coffin should be richer. I took a deep breath and took a look at my head.
After receiving the signal from the boss, Brother Yu Douyazai and I worked together to slowly push open the coffin lid.
First, I saw a touch of "yellow".
It was yellow silk brocade, and it looked like it was newly made.
In my experience, this kind of thing looks new, but is very fragile and may completely break down in a few hours.
Sure enough, when I touched the silk with my hand, the feeling that came over me was not the silky feeling, but the feeling like touching paper.
When I exerted force, the silk broke into pieces, making it impossible to take it out completely.
When you uncover a layer of silk, there is still silk and quilt underneath! Under the command of the leader, we peeled it off layer by layer, until we reached the ninth layer.
Sudden! A "humanoid" silhouette appeared, and he turned his head and shouted stop immediately!
A silk quilt tightly wrapped "a person". This person's head, chest, and feet were tightly tied with three strands of rope, tied like a rice dumpling.
The last quilt was the owner's body quilt. Brother Yu took out his knife and cut the rope with a light touch. Then he used the knife to pull and cut open the body quilt like tofu.
The face of a strange man was revealed.
Dou Sprout immediately shouted in horror: "Holy crap! This person is not dead yet! How could he be preserved so well!"
What Bean Sprouts said is not an exaggeration at all!
The facial skin of this ancient male corpse is bluish-white, and it looks only slightly dehydrated. The facial features are lifelike, the eyes are closed, and the areas around the eye sockets are somewhat sunken! His mouth was naturally closed, and I even saw a wisp of beard on his chin!
He raised his head and sighed: "It seems that this person is Lu Wende. This place is truly the Tianxin Point. It has been used to store wind, collect Qi, and raise corpses for hundreds of years... People can only be buried in the Tianxin Point." Only by doing this can it be preserved to this extent!”
Douyazai took out his mobile phone and took several photos of the ancient corpse's face.
"What the hell are you doing! Stop taking random pictures!" I said nervously.
"Damn it! Fengzi, we need to take a picture of this! Otherwise, we won't believe it when we say we're going out together! It's been seven or eight hundred years! He looks just like he died a few days ago!"
Douyazai put away his phone and said: "This is so damn scary! Boss! Yunfeng! You guys think, after seeing such popularity, an ancient corpse like this will suddenly open its eyes and pretend to be a corpse!"
"Get out of here, you motherfucker! You're just lying! Don't say such nonsense!"
I quickly took a look at the ancient male corpse, fearing that Dou Sprout Zai's words would come true, as it suddenly opened its eyes.
I swallowed, stretched out my hand, and gently pressed the forehead of the ancient corpse.
The skin on the forehead of the ancient corpse was sunken, but it quickly rebounded.
The south is humid and rainy, so it is simply appalling that ancient corpses can be preserved in this state! This is said in our industry to be better preserved than not turning into bones!
Soon, we found a "complaint document" written on a wooden board in the corner. It is also commonly known as the Book of Death's Announcement. This is an ID card made by relatives and descendants of the deceased during the Song, Liao and Jin Dynasties. On it, a row of small calligraphy is clearly visible, and the four words "Wuzhong Lu" are clearly mentioned!
Then the identity of this ancient male corpse is completely confirmed, it is Lu Wende! Because according to historical records, he was given the posthumous title "Wuzhong" by Emperor Xianchun after his death.
At that time, he buried a large amount of copper coins and treasures in the mountain, and even secretly buried him here after his death! It seems that he is still reluctant to part with those wealth!
The historical mystery of why there are nine large money cellars and dozens of tons of copper coins on Mount Xisai has now been revealed! They are all the burial objects of this Lord! He had a noble status and a very popular position during his lifetime, but now he seems to have a "miser" character! At the same time, this also confirms Yu Ye's statement that he loved money as much as his life.
Bury yourself here! His huge wealth is buried here, and even his wife is buried here!
Suddenly, Dou Sprout patted me and said, "Oh, Fengzi! Look! Is there something biting in this man's mouth?"
I took a closer look and found that it was true! It seems that the ancient corpse has something in its mouth.
Brother Yu held up a flashlight and shined it on the face of the ancient corpse. He asked me, "Is it a tongue depressor?"
It has different names. Tongue depressor is mouth-holding jade. It is a good thing, but very rare. According to my experience, on average, only one tongue depressor can be found in twenty ancient tombs.
Douyazai opened the mouth of the ancient corpse with force, and with a pinch of his hand, he took out a black bead directly from the mouth of the ancient corpse.
"What the hell is this?" Dou Sprout asked in confusion.
"let me see."
I took it from Dou Sprout, and it was very cold, like holding an ice cube, freezing my hands!
This mouth-shaped jade is oval-shaped, and its body is as black as ink, with no light transmitting at all! Looking at this bead, it is not white jade! Not sapphire! Not Moyu! Not metal! Not coal essence! Not agate!
I'm not sure what this is, I've never seen it before! But this thing is too cold! I handed the head to look at, and after looking at the head, he shook his head and said, "Yunfeng, I'm not sure what this is, but it should not be an ordinary thing that can be held in his mouth."
I immediately realized that something that can make the head say that it has never been seen before must not be ordinary!
I held the black beads in the air and studied them curiously.
At this point, none of us noticed! A man in black holding a long knife suddenly rushed out! Without saying a word, the other party struck me in the face with a knife!
too suddenly! We never thought that there was an outsider hiding in the ancient tomb deep in the cave! The moment the knife struck, my whole soul was scared to death! The black bead in his hand was not held firmly and fell to the ground.
This man is covered in black clothes! It doesn't seem like it's targeting me! Seeing the black beads fall to the ground, the other party immediately bent down to pick them up.
All this happened within a few seconds. I reacted and reached out to grab the black beads on the ground.
But I was a second too late! The man in black picked it up first, and the man quickly put the black beads into his arms, turned around and ran out.
He immediately raised his head and shouted: "Wen Bin! Stop him!"
Brother Yu is furious! Scream where to go! Holding a crowbar, he hit the man in black!
