Chapter 145 There is no hole in the sky and it is difficult to solve the mystery in the mystery

As soon as Li Minghua entered the stone gate, he was stunned by the scene in front of him, and he couldn't help but scream loudly in fright.

Xiao Xiong and everyone rushed into the stone gate together, and everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them. I saw that behind the door was a larger cave, and the corridor was about ten meters long. On the right side of the corridor are five stone chambers, all of which are open.

What is shocking is that in the corridor and at the door of the stone room, there are more than a dozen skeletons lying horizontally, and there are no hidden weapons such as crossbow arrows on the bodies of these skeletons, but their deaths seem to be very miserable. So many years later, their appearance is still so hideous and terrifying, it seems that they died very painfully, and everyone's mouth is wide open, as if they are still crying before they die. No wonder a tough guy like Li Minghua screamed when he saw this tragic situation in front of him.

Seeing this, Xiao Xiong hurriedly shouted:

"Don't move, everyone, be careful of poison!"

Then, Xiao Xiong asked:

"Who's carrying the silver?"

"I have." Li Minghua and several members of the original hunter team took out the silver needles they carried with them and handed them to Xiao Xiong. Hunters have been active in the mountains for many years, and it is inevitable that they have to deal with poisonous snakes, scorpions, centipedes and other poisons, so they will carry some silver needles for injury testing, and also bring necessary medicines to treat poisonous injuries in case of accidents.

Xiao Xiong took a kettle from the brother next to him, sprinkled a few drops of water on the skeleton, and then placed the silver needle in the droplets to observe. However, after a while. The silver needles were unchanged.

Xiao Xiong put away the silver needle. After wiping it off, it was handed back to Li Minghua and the team members. He breathed a sigh of relief. said: "It's okay, everyone be careful, carry the bones of these tomb robbers away quickly, don't break them." If you search every room carefully, you might find something. ”

"Tomb robbers, you say they're tomb robbers?" Everyone looked at those skeletons, looked at Xiao Xiong suspiciously, and asked in unison.

"Yes. They're no ordinary grave robbers......"

He wasn't done yet. Several members of the team who were cleaning up the bones suddenly screamed "oops", interrupting him.

It turned out that since the team members knew that the bones were not poisonous, they were going to carry these skeletons to the hall outside the cave. However, as soon as everyone's hands were raised, the skeletons turned to dust like charcoal. The team members were taken aback, and they all jumped to the side for fear of being stained with ashes.

Everyone didn't expect that more than a dozen skeletons would be lifted like this, and all of them would turn into dust. Everyone looked at Xiao Xiong puzzled. Wonder what exactly is the reason for this.

"This is also shouting and shouting, why is it so small. Like a little woman. It scared us out and thought something big had happened. Wang Xiaofei complained.

Xiao Xiong smiled and looked at the few team members who were embarrassed by Wang Xiaofei's words, and said with a smile:

"There's nothing to be ashamed of, I'd be shocked if I did it. However, the skeletons you are carrying are not ordinary skeletons, they are the bones of ancient people more than 1,000 years ago. If it can be well preserved, it will definitely have to be sent to the museum. It's a shame that they've all turned to ashes. But it's not your fault, these remains are more than 1,000 years old. ”

Everyone still didn't understand, waiting for Xiao Xiong to continue.

"Do you still remember the story that Old Man Jin told everyone before he died?"

Everyone nodded.

"If my analysis is correct, these people are the Shu family's secret guardians of the ancient tomb. Because only they know the secrets of the tomb and how to open it. So I guess that when the Shu family was exterminated, maybe the government didn't know that there were still a group of Shu family members in Maoshantou, so when the incident passed, they took the risk of burying the remains of the Shu family's killed people on the Shu family's ancestral tomb mountain. However, perhaps after doing this, it must have been one of these people who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to steal the treasure from the cave. But for some reason, they did not steal the treasure, but it is very likely that they touched the poisonous smoke device set up in a secret place, and the poisonous smoke was so poisonous that all the people in the cave were poisoned, and no one had time to escape, so that all of them died in the cave. Let's look for and see if there are sarcophagi or wooden coffins or the like in those stone houses, or if there are remains. Look further and see if you can spot the smoke device. ”

Everyone divided their heads and began to look for them.

Sure enough, Liu Junshan walked into the first stone room, and sure enough, he found that there were four mahogany coffins inside, and a tablet was enshrined in front of each coffin.

Liu Junshan followed Li Zuquan to hunt since he was a child, and he didn't know a lot of words, but he only learned a few words later with Xiao Xiong. But he didn't recognize any of the words on the tablet, so he asked people to quickly call Xiao Xiong over.

The words on the tablet are engraved in seal script, Xiao Xiong carefully read the four tablets, and then respectfully made a bow in front of each coffin, and then said to Liu Junshan and them:

"These four coffins belong to the four brothers of the Shu family, but I guess there must not be any bones in them. Can you believe it? ”

Liu Junshan shook his head, he walked to the first coffin, lifted the lid of the coffin that was not nailed, and looked inside with wide eyes. Xiao Xiong was not wrong, except for a few clothes and a few books, there were really no remains in it.

As soon as Xiao Xiong heard that there were still books inside, he immediately ran over excitedly. Sure enough, on top of those clothes, there were a few books neatly arranged. The front cover reads "Peony Fu Order", and the cover of the second book reads "Shu Yuan Yuji", as well as "Yi Zhudi Li Shi Life", "Record Taoyuan Painting" and so on.

Xiao Xiong was overjoyed. In the past, Xiao Xiong had read Shu Yuanyu's articles in "Selected Prose of the Tang Dynasty", and he also read his poems in "All Tang Poems", which included several poems. 16 of his articles are recorded in "All Tang Wen". The books in the coffin now are probably his handwriting. That's some priceless treasures. Xiao Xiong's heart was "pounding" and jumping.

But. inside these books. The most famous is the book "Peony Fu Order". After Shu Yuanyu's death, when Tang Wenzong once read this article again, he couldn't help but burst into tears. Shu Yuanyu was not rehabilitated until more than ten years later. Perhaps, his family collected his anthologies after he rehabilitated Zhaoxue, and then stored them here as a mound of clothes. But. I heard that "Shu Yuanyuji" has long been lost, but I didn't expect to find all his works here.

Xiao Xiong was so happy that he reached out and wanted to take out those books. However, when he picked up "Shu Yuanyuji", the book turned into pieces of ashes and fell from his fingers.

Xiao Xiong was so annoyed that he didn't dare to move the other books. He asked Liu Junshan to close the coffin and respectfully made three bows to Shu Yuanyu's tablet. He kept apologizing: "I'm sorry to offend my seniors, please forgive Xiao Xiong for being rude." He was very remorseful and remorseful. This "Shu Yuanyu Collection" is likely to be the only one left in the world, and it is Shu Yuanyu's handwriting. Right now. It eventually disappeared, and I saw it disappear with my own eyes. Xiao Xiong couldn't help but feel sad.

Then, Liu Junshan opened the coffins of Shu Yuanyu's other three brothers, and there were only some clothes and books in them, but Shu Yuanyu's coffin had an extra paper folding fan, and there were no gold and silver treasures.

It can be seen from the burial goods in their coffins that the Shu family is indeed a scholarly family and an proud family. The Confucianism and demeanor in the temperament of the four brothers of the Shu family can be seen from here. I don't know which of their descendants or descendants who escaped by luck knew their character well, so they did not put any gold and silver treasures, agate jade, etc. with the smell of copper in their coffins, but put their favorite books in their lives.

Xiao Xiong didn't touch the books again, but asked Liu Junshan to close the coffin.

Xiao Xiong came to the second stone room. There were two sarcophagi inside, but the hall was empty, and nothing was seen. The furnishings in the stone house look like a mourning hall, but there is only a stone table and a desk inside, and no other objects are placed.

The third stone house is more than twice the size of the others, and is also the tallest, the most spacious, and the most beautiful. It has the most in it, and it is placed in the middle, which should be the center of the cave. The Shu family sent people along the stone wall and the top of the cave to build it magnificently and beautifully. Eighteen lamps were originally set up around, but unfortunately there was no oil in it, now everyone is plugging in the lighted pine oil torches, the whole stone room is constantly changing colors under the reflection of the torches, the stalactites on the top of the cave and on the stone wall are crystal clear, colorful, and beautiful.

In the center of the stone chamber is a huge natural stone table the size of two tables of the Eight Immortals, and eight stone benches carved around the stone table. A stalactite hanging from the top of the cave is as thick as an adult's leg, but it is snow-white and crystal clear. The most peculiar thing is that under the light of the torch, it is like a giant glow stick, emitting a crystal light.

The stone tables and stone benches are also carved from colorful limestone, which is very strange and beautiful, and they are all handicrafts.

Xiao Xiong and everyone couldn't help but admire, the Shu family is really not simple, and they actually built this natural cave as beautiful as the legendary Dragon Palace.

The fourth stone room contained a number of chests, which had been opened, but the contents were still neat and there were no signs of turning.

There were also a few boxes in the fifth room, which had also been opened, and the contents had been turned over, but before they could be taken away, the things and objects were scattered all over the room. There are a few pearls, agate, jadeite, etc., which seem to be more valuable. However, the whole stone cave seems to be worth a few things.

Everyone couldn't help but be a little disappointed, thinking that they could find a large amount of gold and silver treasures, but these were the only things in front of everyone. The mysteries in everyone's minds are still unsolved.

Yes, is there any treasure in the cave that they have been caring for for thousands of years, old man Jin? How did these people who died in the caves die? (To be continued......)
