Chapter 721: The Mysterious Tomb

On the seventh day of coming to the edge of Sichuan and Guizhou, Xie Changming finally discovered the ancient tomb he had been to before, and we set up camp nearby, and then the pair of masters and apprentices surveyed it.

Xie Changming told us that it was a coincidence to go in before, and the tomb road had collapsed in many places, so it was impossible to walk through the tomb road, so we had to open a robbery hole to enter.

And this thief hole has to be very big, not just for one person to pass through, because the target of this trip is the mysterious bronze coffin, and it must be taken out, so the thief hole has to be big.

In order to cover up its traces, we found a cave nearby, which was huge, but the distance of the cave was tens of meters longer, and the amount of work was huge.

The master and apprentice planned the route, and then it was time to dig the earth, all by hand, and there were no other tools except sharp shovels and shovels.

So a few of our dead soldiers and the master and apprentice became a labor force, several people divided labor and cooperated, day and night, like a mole to make a hole, this work is very hard, I don't know how many thousands of catties of soil dug out of there, even if we are so many strong men, it took five days to dig the hole completely, and the mud dug out almost filled a valley.

And I also began to admire the pair of master and apprentice, these two people are really capable, the cave is directly leading to the tomb, avoiding a lot of switches, without the assistance of high technology, purely relying on technology, then it is not an ordinary person, of course, since they showed up in front of me, then they can only go to eat free meals in the future.

The method of measuring oxygen with pigeons and roosters has long been outdated, so the master and apprentice made a blower, blew air into it for a day, and then measured it with an instrument, and there was no problem with the air.

Then, we began to enter the tomb, except for one person who was left to control the wind, all of them entered, starting with the two masters and apprentices, then the remaining dead soldiers, and then Yun Xuan and me.

In fact, with Xie Changming's ability, if he went in and broke in, he wouldn't be able to stop him at all, but Xie Changming didn't move, and Yun Xuan didn't ask this question, they had to let the master and apprentice contribute.

In the underground palace under the tomb, it is very dark, and the master and apprentice keep lighting candles along the way, but this is not the kind of lamp that touches the golden captain in the novel, this kind of candle is specially made, if there is any yin spirit or something like that, the color of the flame will change, giving them a warning.

"Mr. Yun, the time of this tomb is the end of Qin at the latest, and it will not exceed the Spring and Autumn Period at the earliest, and it is not the so-called Xingtian Tomb."

After walking for a while, the master and apprentice got a few burial goods over, and then analyzed the funeral goods for a while, telling us that this tomb is not what Yun Xuan said, it is just a tomb in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Of course, the tombs of this era are also extraordinary, and any random things are treasures, but they are still a little disappointed, Yun Xuan invited them to come without spending a penny, because they had negotiated before, except for the bronze coffin, the rest of the things in this tomb belonged to them.

If according to Yun Xuan, this is the so-called Xingtian Tomb, then it is terrible, it may be from before Zhou, and it is not a matter of treasures at all, at least it is at the level of national treasures.

"Could it be the tomb of the ancient Shu Kingdom?"

"It will be normal, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, this was the territory of the ancient Shu Kingdom, until it was included in the notice by the Qin State, and that period of history was very pale and simple."

"I said it's the tomb of Xingtian, not necessarily the tomb set up when Xingtian died, the mystery of this, you don't understand, you don't have to understand, just take the bronze coffin away"

Xie Changming said mysteriously, there are still thousands of years between the era of Xingtian and the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, this will naturally not be the tomb built in the Xingtian era, but it doesn't matter, all he wants is the bronze coffin.

"Mr. Yun, look at this..."

"Everything is as usual, we only need the bronze coffin, and the rest is yours, why, the tombs of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period can't satisfy you?"

"No, it's not..."

The master's face changed, and he hurriedly replied, this tomb is enough, if you really take a few valuable ones and sell them, it will be a huge amount of money, and you will definitely not lose money, if you can move a little more, then you will make a lot of money.

But he was also wondering what was going on in the bronze coffin, which was worth their fight so much, and they didn't even want other funeral goods.

The group crossed the many mechanisms, of course, most of the mechanisms had failed, in fact, there was no danger, and soon arrived at the main tomb, which was a huge fear, there were many stone figures standing around, the shape was terrifying, and the top of the tomb was the appearance of a starry sky, there was a high platform in the middle, like a small pyramid, but the spire was flattened, and a huge bronze coffin was placed on it.

The bronze coffin looks pitch black, like a fast boulder, more than three meters long and about two meters wide, it is not clear whether there is a coffin, the coffin and the coffin are completely different things.

The master and apprentice told us not to move, they quickly lit candles around, and soon, there was a faint light in the main burial chamber, and they soon found that there were murals on the tomb wall.

In ancient times, there were many murals, mainly to record the scene at that time, and the murals in the tomb will even depict some of the life of the tomb owner.

The group went to record, because with the entry of oxygen, the color of the mural was fading rapidly, and I couldn't help but feel a little distressed, this great treasure was about to be destroyed like this.

Soon, under the speculation of a cadre and others, the contents of the mural were deciphered, and according to the mural, this is not an ancient tomb at all, but an altar.

Yes, it is an altar, as it is written, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the internal troubles of ancient Shu were caused by natural and man-made disasters, especially floods, which occurred from time to time, and the people suffered heavy casualties, and the external troubles were because of the wars of various countries during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

At that time, the ancient Shu Kingdom was relatively peaceful, while the rest of the Central Plains countries were in frequent wars, and it was precisely because of the frequent wars that their army was extremely strong in combat effectiveness, but it was the Shu State that had extremely weak military strength.

Later, with the passage of time, the Qin State in the north and the Chu State in the east both had the intention of destroying the Shu State, in order to occupy this strategic commanding height.

History proves that the ancient Shu State was destroyed by the Qin State, and it was after the Qin State won the Shu State that it stabilized the rear area, and continuously obtained food and soldiers, which had a great effect on the unification war of the Qin State, especially after Li Bing controlled the flood.

Of course, this is a later story, and it has nothing to do with here, and this altar was built when the ancient Shu Kingdom was destroyed, and the ancient Shu Kingdom only knew that it could not resist the invasion of the Qin State, so it pinned its hopes on the gods.

They heard the legend of the Miao ancestors and decided to build an altar to resurrect the god of war to help them resist the invasion of the Qin State, so this altar appeared.

However, before the altar was completed, the Shu Kingdom perished, but the transportation in the southwest region in ancient times was extremely inconvenient, although the Shu land was occupied by the Qin army, but this is still the territory of the ancient Shu Kingdom, and this altar has become their only hope, so they paid all their strength to build this altar.

However, people are not as good as heaven, their behavior was discovered by the Qin army, and before they had time to sacrifice the resurrection of the heavens, they were destroyed by the Qin army, and the remnants of the people closed the corridor of this altar and prepared to make a comeback, but in the following decades, the Qin State became stronger and stronger, and even swept across the Six Kingdoms, making the remnants of the ancient Shu Kingdom feel hopeless, and when the insider died, no one knew about it anymore.

"I said that this tomb is a little strange, it turned out to be an altar, but it was just a tomb to cover people's eyes and ears"

Master Tufuzi said to himself, with his professional level, he had long known that this tomb was extraordinary, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

"Xie Daoyou, will it be dangerous to move away from the bronze coffin?"

"Yes"

"What danger"

Yun Xuan immediately held his breath, this tomb was not normal, I didn't know what danger it would be, and the rest of the people immediately cheered up, this was a matter related to their lives.

"The whole altar is a huge witch circle, and it takes a specific spell to activate the resurrection ritual, otherwise it would be considered an intruder, and there is something inside the bronze coffin."

"Something"

"Open it and you'll know"

"This..."

"Could it be that Mr. Chengyun wants to back down now?"

"I'd rather die than retreat"

"That's good, let's do it, open the coffin, and destroy the guy inside first"

Xie Changming waved his hand and said, the bronze coffin is in front of him, it is impossible to return it, he is a little excited, the eight treasures are already in place, as long as he gets the bronze coffin and catches Liu Jinyang, then everything will be done.

"Open, you go"

"Well, Mr. Yun, it's not within the scope of our agreement."

"Open the coffin or die, choose one"

"You're going to fight back?"

"This is not anti-water, it is cooperation, you are responsible for opening the coffin, we will take care of the rest, after the matter is completed, the rest of the funeral goods here are still yours, the ancients attached great importance to sacrifices, very grand, there will be a lot of treasures, even if there is not, just those bronze tripods, it is enough for you to make a fortune, you choose"

Yun Xuan pointed to the surrounding bronzes, the ancients believed that the prosperity of a country lies in force and sacrifice, so there are national events, in Rong in the worship of this sentence, every sacrifice is extremely grand, all kinds of utensils, these are all bronze, put out, is an extremely huge wealth, not to mention that this altar is also related to the ancient Shu Kingdom.

The ancient Shu Kingdom is recorded in the history books only a few strokes, if these things are taken out, it will shock the historiography, I don't know how many people will rush to get it, and there is no worry about the buyer.

The faces of the pair of masters and apprentices changed greatly, Yun Xuan had to inch in, he turned his face too quickly, but looking at the people around him, they didn't dare to disobey, slaughtered them, they could still open the coffin, and they were just cannon fodder, so they could only admit it.

"A few of you, go and help."

Yun Xuan pointed at it casually and called a few of his own people, and among these people, I was there, looking at Yun Xuan's sneering face, I took a deep breath, I couldn't hide from what I should have come.
