Chapter 102: The Man Who Accompanied the Burial
Wang Anbei carefully inspected these few bulges that were not very obvious, and then said to a few junior brothers, "If this organ is opened wrong, what will happen if it is not done well, everyone should be careful." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
After hearing this, the fourth junior disciple was thinking in his heart about how to open this stone door, based on his previous experience, if a mechanism like this is not opened in a certain order or regularity, then it must be opened at the same time.
"How is it?, how sure are you?" asked the elder brother.
The fourth junior brother raised his head and smiled, "Fifty percent!"
Wang Anbei's heart sank, it was only fifty percent, that is, there was still half of the chance that it would be wrong! But fifty percent of them were already good, so he said to the fourth junior brother, "Okay, five is fifty percent, how do you say to open it?"
The fourth junior brother thought for a while and said, "I counted just now, there are a total of five protrusions on this door, each of us will put our palms on it, listen to my order, and we will press it at the same time!"
Several people glanced at each other, and then they all placed their palms on the bulges......
"Press!" only to hear the fourth senior brother shout, and several people pressed the bulge in their hands at the same time.
I heard two "clicks" from the stone door, and then there was silence.
Several people were dumbfounded, could it be that they were really so unlucky and let them catch up with the other five?
Just as a few people began to sweat on their foreheads, they heard the sound of pulling chains from behind the stone door, which should be that some mechanism had been opened.
"Everyone be careful, if the situation is not right, retreat!" the senior brother shouted loudly.
Who knew that just when they were tense and waiting for the next change, they saw that the stone door that was still tightly closed just now suddenly began to sink inward, and then the stone door slowly opened!
Several of them looked happy, and if it weren't for the catacombs now, they would have cheered immediately.
Although the stone door has been opened, it is pitch black inside, and there are bursts of cold air from time to time. The eldest brother took out the fire fold he had with him and was the first to walk in......
The area of this nave should be about the same as the previous front hall, but there is no light everywhere here, it is too dark, and with this small fire fold in his hand, he can't see the situation inside clearly.
So the elder brother searched around the nave, and there must be something like an everlasting lamp for illumination. Sure enough, he smelled a smell of fire oil on one of the pillars of the nave.
The elder brother looked up and found that there were four oil lamps hanging on the four sides of this temple pillar, so he lit one of them with the fire fold in his hand, and then he heard the sound of "bang bang bang" three times, and the other three lamps were also lit together, it seems that there must be a mechanism connected under these four lamps.
When the other people saw that the elder brother had lit the oil lamps on the pillars of the temple, they followed suit, so as the oil lamps on all the pillars of the temple were lit, the surrounding scenery immediately appeared in front of them......
I saw that there were large wooden boxes in this central nave, and some large wine vats that were half a person high! A few of them were dazzled when they saw those large boxes, and they must have contained some valuable funeral goods!
Wang Anbei was the first to walk over, and with a sharp pry with a knife, the copper lock on the face was opened, and everyone gathered around to take a look, and found that it was filled with a box of silver ingots!
Several people were a little disappointed, if this thing was in the previous dynasty, it would be money, but now it is the Republic of China, and there is no silver in circulation on the market. Such a big box must be dead, and it is not cost-effective for a few of them to go back to this for thousands of miles!
"I don't believe there's anything else, keep going!" Wang Anbei said with an unwilling face.
So a few people quickly opened the remaining few large wooden boxes, but there were either silver ingots or some military books or the like, and nothing that was satisfactory appeared.
The senior brother took out the pocket watch on his body at this time and took a look, it was already 3 o'clock in the middle of the night, it should not take three hours to dawn, several of them must go out before dawn, no matter whether they can find the treasure or not, they can't stay here longer!
"Let's go, go to the apse, the coffin can't be full of silver ingots, right?" said the second senior brother angrily.
Wang Anbei stood on the left and right sides of the nave and glanced at it and said, "There must be female dependents accompanying the burial in the two side halls in the north and south, and there should be jewelry and other things in their coffins, and those things should be worth some money......
When a few people heard this, they immediately rejoiced in their hearts, and finally this trip was not in vain.
They first came to the south side of the side of the hall, the door of the temple is open, this may be to facilitate the tomb owner's walking, after all, the structure of this tomb is built in imitation of the tomb owner's house, you can't enter your daughter-in-law's room and use the key to open it!
As a result, after the group went in, they found that the furnishings were extremely simple, not like a woman's boudoir at all, but more like a ...... The walls inside are covered with calligraphy and paintings, especially like a scholar's room.
There is a black lacquer coffin placed in the north of the side hall, and the specifications are also very ordinary, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like the treatment that the tomb owner should have. When they got closer, there were still a few clothes hanging behind the black coffin, and when they looked closely, they turned out to be the official uniforms worn by men!
Several people were immediately dumbfounded, what is the situation? Who is this man? How can he appear in the palace of the tomb owner?
"Could this tomb owner be a woman?" said the youngest brother nervously.
Wang Anbei listened to a brain crash, "Do you see those things outside like a woman's funeral?
After being scolded by Wang Anbei, the little junior brother also said with a look of grievance, "If it's not a woman, then why is it a man who is buried in the palace?"
A few of them are also confused, but since they have already entered, they can't leave without opening the coffin, right? It doesn't matter if he is a man or a woman, he opened the coffin first, and he is saying that there must be a lot of good things in a big tomb like this in the coffin......
The fifth junior brother is a master of opening the coffin among several people, and he is especially good at taking treasures in the coffin. I saw him come to the front of the black coffin, carefully inspect the structure of this coffin, and then said to them with a relaxed face, "This coffin is very ordinary, just pry it open, there must be no pin trap in it!"
After hearing this, several people were relieved and boldly opened the coffin together, and after a while, the black lacquer coffin was opened by them.
After the coffin was opened, I saw a man wearing a Qing Dynasty official uniform lying inside, with a thin body. Among the several people, the senior brother was the most knowledgeable and talented, and he glanced at the supplement on the man's chest, and immediately recognized that this person was nothing more than a civil official of the fourth grade.
