Chapter 132: Mass Graves
After looking at Luo Qiu, he knew that this should have been known by the village chief and others in advance. Looks like they're very well prepared.
It was pitch black all around, and the torch had fallen down before it was lit up for a while before it was extinguished, and Luo Qiu fumbled for a long time before he could get his hands on it. It should have rolled to the side when it fell, and it was only when he groped for the stone bricks outside the quilt that Luo Qiu felt the torch, and lit the torch with a lighter, and the light of the torch illuminated the surroundings in an instant.
Because there seemed to be a lot of dust around, the penetration of the light was not strong, so it could only shine about half a foot around, Luo Qiu immediately walked around and took a closer look at the tomb.
Falling here, Luo Qiu Fang took a closer look at the structure of this tomb, the tomb is a rectangular shape, except for the jade attached to the surrounding area, there are not too many eaves frieze carvings in other places, showing simplicity and unpretentiousness.
At this time, looking from here, there is no coffin bed and coffin inside, so this should be one of the ear chambers, Luo Qiu glanced at it casually, and there seemed to be no other entrance, only a stone door on the left was connected to a passage that was not very big.
There are still some murals on the walls of the tomb, but because the moisture at the bottom is much greater than at the top, there were some colorful murals on it, but unfortunately they have been corroded by the moisture in the air, and it is impossible to even know whether the painting on it is a pattern or what font is written.
Looking into the past, there are still several rows of porcelain on the ground of the tomb at this time, there are about a hundred, among which there are several very valuable Jingdezhen large porcelain jars and some official kiln blue and white porcelain, Luo Qiu carefully observed for a moment, and at the same time found some footprints on the floor, all of which were left by cloth shoes on the dust on the ground, which looked very new, and it was estimated that it was the masterpiece of the group of people from the village chief.
After stretching the torch in each direction, and seeing that there was no such thing as a reduction in the fire, Luo Qiu put his mind at ease, it seems that the oxygen concentration here is quite normal, but the air quality is not very good, there is dust everywhere, and the air is very turbid and has a very uncomfortable humidity in the nasal cavity, so that Luo Qiu can't cough even if he wants to.
At this time, Qin Su, who had fallen asleep, also woke up, frowned slightly, and rubbed his temples. After Qin Su crawled over, he was first worried about these footprints and asked, "This is the village chief, is it left behind?" ”
Luo Qiu frowned, and he was not sure at this time, because he had just seen that among these footprints, there were some very dazzling footprints, these footprints did not seem to be different from the footprints of ordinary people, on the contrary, more than twice as slender as ordinary people, the width and size of these footprints were the same as those of normal people, but this kind of footprints seemed to be seriously dehydrated and looked very thin.
And the weirdest thing is that the thin barefoot footprints seem to be following the group of people in the village chief....
Luo Qiu hadn't seen the village chief's footprints before, so he beckoned Qin Su to come over and take a look, everyone had a different opinion, maybe he knew what was going on.
Qin Su came over and looked at it and was a little dazed, and said, "Don't care if he is from the village chief's group first, this footprint itself is not normal, you can take a closer look." ”
Luo Qiu immediately looked at it again, and found that there was a layer of green oil on the footprints, a substance like grease, and he smelled it with a little sticky cloth, and couldn't help but say: "What kind of smell is this-"
Holding back this nausea, Luo Qiu almost didn't throw up.
"It's corpse oil!" Qin Su's face was a little ugly and looked at this layer of green grease: "Most ordinary corpses will be directly stiff, and this kind of corpse oil will appear.... I've never heard of ....."
Luo Qiu's face was already a little difficult to look at, hearing Qin Su say this, Luo Qiu didn't know what the hell was going on at this time, and the gloom on his face could be imagined.
Carefully observing the surroundings, I always felt that the surroundings were a little eerie and terrible, so I didn't stay long, and both of them subconsciously didn't mention the incident just now, because this kind of thing will only become more and more creepy in this weird place.
Walking to the passage, what catches your eye is a relatively intuitive slope, and under the slope is a downward passage, from the top you can't see the situation below, it seems that you need to go down directly to see the specific situation below.
Seeing this, Luo Qiu was the first to say: "I'll go down first, you wait." ”
Qin Su didn't say anything, he knew that this was Luo Qiu's deliberate this, he gasped slightly, he sat on the side and gasped silently, the pain in his hands and the pain that had just fallen down and had not yet eased up, made him feel a little out of strength and severe pain at this time.
Luo Qiu walked down the stairs slowly, holding the only torch he had received from Qin Su in his hand, and quickly disappeared in front of Qin Su's eyes along the stairs.
About five minutes later, Luo Qiu's exclamation suddenly came from below.
"What's going on?!"
At this time, Qin Su didn't care about resting, and shouted anxiously down the stairs.
However, Luo Qiu immediately beckoned: "Come down, there are good things here!" ”
Good stuff?
The hesitation wound was painful, so Qin Su was not attracted by the good things that Luo Qiu said at this time. But he still walked down the ladder step by step.
Since the height of this staircase seems to be only about ten meters, it is not very high.
When he walked to the next floor, Qin Su saw Luo Qiu at a glance, and immediately looked towards the place where the torch was shining, and saw that there were many blue and white porcelains stacked on this floor. As soon as he saw these blue and white porcelains, Qin Su couldn't help but be stunned.
The heart said, "Is the owner of this tomb a seller of ceramics?" Why are there blue and white porcelain and official kilns on the floor of the tomb just now, but I didn't expect it to be the same here, it seems to be more.
At this moment, the dense jars and jars in front of them made Luo Qiu and Qin Su feel a little creepy, when so many consistent objects were placed in this silent and empty space, there was indeed a chilling feeling.
"So much porcelain?" Qin Su said in surprise.
"No!"
Luo Qiu looked at the porcelain around him without blinking and said softly: "This is the ash altar!" ”
"Columbarium?!"
Qin Su was a little calm at this time, and when he walked in front of one of the official kilns, he was about to open it.
Immediately, Qin Su reached out and picked up the stone lid that was fastened on one of the official kilns. The lid of this stone was fastened very tightly, and it took a long time to get it out, and as soon as the lid was opened, all of a sudden, a smell of dust that had been stored for a long time suddenly diffused.
This is the kind of dust that has been left for a long time, Qin Su leaned his head in, and sure enough, it was a ball of ashes.
"With so many columbariums here, what kind of trouble is this?"
Seeing this urn that almost filled this burial chamber, Qin Su was a little puzzled, and said in his heart that this burial would not be buried with ashes, right?
Luo Qiu nodded: "Well, that's good." The ancients were much more rigorous than modern people in this regard, and they were very particular about what people should be cremated and who should be buried intact. And the ancients were very taboo about the incompleteness of the corpse, they thought it was a desecration of the corpse, so this is also a point that I can't understand. ”
Seeing that Luo Qiu was also frowning on the side, Qin Su also shook his head with a headache.
"Whatever, I see, what are they going to do with the village chief? If it's really robbing the tomb inside, then we can't say that we can also get a piece of the pie in the back! ”
Hearing this, Luo Qiu rolled his eyes speechlessly, and said in his heart, aren't you a servant of the people? I have also joined the army, how can I be moved by a little treasure....
After thinking about these porcelains for a long time, they couldn't think of a reason, so their eyes immediately returned to the footprints on the ground again.
The two of them followed the footprint all the way and found that it stretched all the way to the corner of the tomb, behind a large porcelain jar of a blue and white official kiln. I chuckled in my heart.
Isn't it that the village chief and the others are hiding here at this time?
For a while, Luo Qiu's body stiffened a little in fright, and even Qin Su beside him was slightly stunned, paused for about three or four seconds, and then the two of them slowly leaned over there in unison.
