Chapter 1058: The Master of the Ancient Tomb
Ten thousand people dug it, and the pit became bigger and bigger.
The ancient tombs with many organs gradually revealed their faces as people excavated them.
Pointing to a closed stone door, Captain Touching Jin, who accompanied Zhou Hao to the tomb, said, "General Zhou is what happened there. ”
"Give the order to go down, dig from both sides, and dig down the stone gate for me." Cao Shuo conveyed the order.
The crowd rushed up again, wielding hoes and shovels, and digging up from both sides.
There are so many tombs opened in the gold camp, and there has never been an experience of digging up the entire tomb.
They have a lot of experience in excavating tombs, but in the excavation commanded by Cao Shuo, they were at a loss and didn't know where to start.
"There's black gas coming out!" Suddenly a shout rang out from the front of the crowd.
With the shouting, the crowd of black pressure suddenly dispersed.
After the crowd retreated, Cao Shuo saw a black gas diffuse from the stone gate.
"Spread out!" Cao Shuo shouted: "The black gas is poisonous! ”
Hearing his shout, the crowd immediately retreated a lot.
Although the black gas that diffused from the crack in the stone gate was thick, it was blown away by the wind and quickly disappeared into the wilderness.
I don't know how long it took, but the black gas gradually stopped gushing out, and the crowd stepped forward again.
Ordered to excavate the ancient tomb, Cao Shuo never left.
The whole excavation lasted for more than ten days, and after several dangers, the main burial chamber finally appeared in front of people's eyes.
When the main burial chamber was opened, Cao Shuo frowned.
There aren't many burial items in this tomb at all.
In terms of the number of burial goods, at most it is just a tomb of a feudal prince.
In the middle of the main burial chamber, a huge coffin is placed upright.
"Childe, do you want to open it?" Wei Tu, who had just been promoted to the rank of general of Faqiu Zhonglang, asked in a low voice.
"Open." Cao Shuo said: "But be careful to open it." ”
Wei Tu responded, and instructed a captain who touched gold: "Open the coffin." ”
Several captains who touched the gold responded and led people to open the coffin.
Captain Touching Jin specializes in digging up tombs, and opening a coffin is no different for them than eating.
One of them, Captain Touch, stepped forward with a few soldiers and carefully opened the coffin.
The tomb was full of mechanisms, and strangely enough, the coffin was easily opened.
"There is no mechanism!" The captain who led the people to open the coffin shouted loudly.
got a response, Cao Shuo led people forward.
When he reached the coffin, he saw a dry corpse in armor lying in the coffin.
The tomb is supposed to belong to a general.
"Did you find anything about your life?" Cao Shuo asked.
"Not yet." Captain Touch, who opened the coffin, replied: "However, the main burial chamber has been found, and the stone tablet describing his life should be nearby." ”
"Find!" Cao Shuo said: "I want to know, who broke my hair after death!" ”
"These funeral goods ......" looked at the funeral goods, and asked with a hesitation.
"After counting, send it back to Shouchun." Cao Shuo said: "Zhou Hao died for these funeral goods, and he can't be allowed to die in vain." ”
He turned his head to Cai Ji again and instructed: "Tell the steward of Lingyun Pavilion that the funeral goods here are sold ten times the market price, and those people like to buy them or not, and if no one buys them, they will be left in the treasury." ”
Giving the order, Cao Shuo turned his head and left the main burial chamber.
The excavation continues.
Tens of thousands of people are searching for the stone tablet that records the life of the tomb's owner.
It was getting dark, and just when people were about to give up hope, someone suddenly shouted, "There's a monument here!" ”
The shouting alarmed Cao Shuo, and he ran over quickly.
Several Captain Touching Gold had already arrived first.
After confirming that the stele was not in danger, they made way for Cao Shuo.
A captain who touched the gold used a shovel to gently remove the soil from the stele, revealing the inscription on it.
Cai Ji raised the torch to illuminate Cao Shuo.
The age of the stele is not very long, and it has been buried in the ground, and the inscription is still very clear.
Looking at the inscription carefully, Cao Shuo asked, "Who knows who Jian Rong is?" ”
Of course, neither Wei Tu nor Cai Ji would know.
A captain next to him replied: "Prince Qiyu, Jian Rong is one of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai under Emperor Guangwu, and he is named the Marquis of Hefei, and his tomb should be in Lujiang, I don't know how there is a stone tablet here." ”
"Some people always have multiple tombs after death, although it is only the Marquis of Hefei, Jian Rong should attach great importance to whether the tombs will be excavated after death." Cao Shuo said: "I just can't think of how he could find such a place, and where did he find so many KitKam craftsmen to build such a tomb." ”
"Childe has been here for many days, and it is very hard." Cai Ji persuaded: "It's better to return to Shouchun early to rest, don't be too tired." ”
"Let people extend the inscription on the stone tablet, and I will let Shiyuan and them also see it." Cao Shuo commanded again.
The ancient tomb was excavated, and Cao Shuo did not order it to be refilled.
The coffin was bare in the wilderness, exposed in the wind and rain, and turned to dust after a few years.
It was only said that Cao Shuo returned to Shouchun, and Wei Tu asked the people who touched the gold camp to send him the inscription that had been extended.
There was an oil lamp lit in the study.
In the dim light, Cao Shuo looked at the inscription word by word.
"Childe has been reading it for a long time, and I'm afraid I can memorize everything recorded on the inscription." Cai Ji said on the side: "It's not early, I think it's better to sue Pang Gong and them, let them not use it, son, rest early." ”
"Shiyuan, they will be here in a while, I asked them to come, how can I let them go back?" Cao Shuo said: "Wei Tu stays in the Touching Gold Camp, and in the future, I will only be left with you, and you will have more things to do." ”
"Actually, I don't understand how Gongzi asked Wei Tu to be the general of Faqiu Zhonglang." Cai Ji said: "He doesn't know anything about digging ancient tombs. ”
"If you don't understand, you can learn." Cao Shuo said: "The gold camp is a very important source of wealth, and it was managed by Zhou Hao before, of course I can rest assured." Zhou Hao is no longer here, who else can I arrange for me to go over besides Wei Tu and you? ”
Cai Ji was silent.
He and Wei Tu followed Cao Shuo from Wancheng.
If Cao Shuo hadn't risked his life to rescue them, the two would have died in Wancheng a long time ago.
Cao Shuo's people, if they are loyal, I am afraid that not many can surpass them.
Since coming to Huainan, many of the treasures used by Cao Shuo's army came from digging ancient tombs in the gold camp.
For Cao Shuo, the Touching Gold Camp is a force that must be completely controlled in his hands.
Of course, he wouldn't feel at ease to hand it over to Captain Touch, who wasn't too familiar with it.
Wei Tu, who didn't know how to dig ancient tombs at all, was sent by Cao Shuo to be the general of Faqiu Zhonglang, and he was also cleaning up.
Cao Shuo was still looking at the inscription, and a guard walked in from outside: "Prince Qiyu, Pang Gong, Tian Gong, Chen Gong and others ask to see you." ”
Putting down the inscription, Cao Shuo instructed the guards: "Please come in and speak." ”
