Chapter 44: The Horseshoe Gold and the Sound of the Water
Lin Changsheng walked to the sarcophagus and took a look, there was nothing in the sarcophagus, he put his hand in it and kept groping, but he didn't find the slightest.
"It's strange, there's no mechanism in the coffin."
Lin Changsheng muttered softly, and then looked at the outside of the sarcophagus, but still didn't find anything.
Ye Lin frowned and said, "If there is no mechanism, then wouldn't it be a dead end here?" ”
Uncle Zhang said: "Will it be the same as the Corpse King Palace, the exit is at the bottom of the coffin?" ”
Without waiting for Lin Changsheng to reply, Uncle Dog shook his head and said, "If there is an exit at the bottom, wouldn't it be superfluous to set up a broken dragon stone?" ”
Despite having said that, the crowd decided to lift the sarcophagus and take a look.
Lin Changsheng, Ye Lin, Uncle Dog, and Uncle Zhang carried the coffin hard, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't lift it, Chen Xue saw this, put down the submachine gun to help, but it was still to no avail.
Uncle Zhang touched a few hairs on his bald head and said, "It's really strange, this sarcophagus is so heavy?" ”
But no, even if it sinks again, this sarcophagus won't stand still under the combined efforts of the five of them, right?
"I see."
Lin Changsheng's eyes lit up, and he said: "This sarcophagus is connected to the stone bricks below, so we can't lift it at all, and the mechanism is not in the coffin and at the bottom of the coffin, if my speculation is correct, this sarcophagus should be able to turn." ”
"Turn?"
Uncle Dog immediately tried to turn the sarcophagus, and he alone easily made the sarcophagus turn.
When the sarcophagus turned half a circle, there was a loud 'click', and the broken dragon stone in front of it slowly rose.
Lin Changsheng cautiously walked to the entrance of the passage and glanced inside, and after making sure that there was no problem, he waved to Ye Lin and the others: "Let's go." ”
This passage is a little different from the previous passage, the previous passage is all stone walls, and the stone wall here is actually a painted wall, which depicts a group of wolves rounding up their prey, and a giant wolf is standing on a high place, which should be giving orders.
The group walked for about fifteen minutes before exiting the passage.
They were now in a temple about five hundred square sizes, with lampposts, and on the lampposts were lanterns, and in addition to the lampposts there were some bones lined up.
Ye Lin looked at the bones and said, "It's a sheep bone, and there are traces of being cut with a blunt knife." ”
Uncle Zhang's eyes lit up: "Funeral goods? ”
"It's not."
Lin Changsheng shook his head and said, "We are still on the periphery, there is no possibility of burial goods, this should be a resting point when building the tomb, and those sheep bones may be the food they ate at that time." ”
Chen Xue saw a box behind the lamppost and shouted, "Look there." ”
Lin Changsheng and the others looked over, Ye Lin walked to the box and asked, "Can you open it?" ”
Lin Changsheng nodded: "Yes." ”
Ye Lin's face changed slightly after opening the box, and inside it was actually a box of horseshoe gold.
But he was also very puzzled, why did he leave a box of horseshoe gold here alone, and was not taken to the central area of the tomb for burial?
Uncle Dog walked in the hall and looked around, and he found three wooden coffins.
Lin Changsheng and the others immediately walked over, and after looking at the coffin, with Lin Changsheng's acquiescence, Uncle Dog lifted the coffin lid.
Inside each coffin was a skeleton with knife marks on the cervical vertebrae, apparently the man had been hacked to death.
Lin Changsheng speculated: "These guys should be the ones who built the tomb, maybe they wanted to swallow this box of horseshoe gold, but they were found and executed!" ”
Uncle Dog asked, "Then what does this box of horseshoe gold mean?" Give them a funeral? ”
Ye Lin shook his head and said, "It's already a big crime to want to steal property, how can you leave him a horseshoe gold to bury?" The Yuan Dynasty had very strict requirements for the burial time, and it was necessary to be buried within the specified time, and it should be that there was not enough time to move to the central area, so it could only stay here. ”
Although the currency in circulation in the Yuan Dynasty was gold ingots, Genghis Khan was still horseshoe gold at that time, and compared with gold ingots, horseshoe gold was more suitable as a funeral object, and it could also better demonstrate the power and merits of the tomb owner.
The manufacturing process of horseshoe gold is very complicated, and if it is in the outside world, in addition to the archaeological value, the collection value alone is far more than 100 times the price of gold.
Ye Lin heard what seemed to be a 'whooshing' sound, he frowned and asked, "What sound?" ”
Chen Xue immediately held a gun on guard, and Uncle Dog and Uncle Zhang looked around vigilantly.
Lin Changsheng lay on the ground, his ears were close to the ground, and after a while, he got up and said, "It's the sound of flowing water, coming from below." ”
After speaking, he carefully observed the entire round hall and continued: "This is a dead end, there is no exit, and it is unrealistic to return the original way, so you can only dig." ”
After speaking, Lin Changsheng stuck to the floor tiles and listened carefully, and after judging the position of the water flow, he used his fingers to destroy the firmness of more than ten floor tiles, and said: "Dig it, after the floor tiles are dug out, it will be soil, and you should be able to see the river after digging the soil." ”
Everyone immediately got busy, and it took a while to dig out the floor tiles, and then they shoveled the soil with sappers.
The soil here is very hard, and five people dug together, and it took six or seven hours of non-stop digging to dig up, and everyone was tired and panting, and sweating profusely.
You pay off.
The sound of the 'whirring' wind blew into the round hall from the hole they had dug, Lin Changsheng glanced at it and found that from the place where they dug down, and then walk more than ten meters ahead to the river.
Uncle Dog asked, "Where does this river lead?" Will it lead to the Dark River where we came in before? ”
Lin Changsheng said: "I don't know, but if we can get there, it will be good news for us, after all, we can find a life!" ”
"You can't swim through such a long river, can you?"
There is only less than 100 square meters of ground below, and it is not realistic to swim out.
"Isn't there a coffin?"
Lin Changsheng pointed to the three coffins in the hall and continued: "It's been a busy day, and I'm too tired, so let's take a break and leave for the sake of insurance." ”
The proposal was well received, and they all sat down to rest.
Uncle Zhang took out four bottles of mineral water from his backpack, handed them to Lin Changsheng and the others, and then opened one bottle and drank it himself.
Everyone was so tired that after a while, they drank all the water, and each took out the compressed biscuits from their backpacks and ate them.
After a few minutes, Chen Xuedai's eyebrows furrowed slightly, her body shook for a moment, and said, "Why am I so dizzy?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Lin shook his head vigorously with Uncle Dog, and Uncle Dog said, "Strange, I'm also dizzy, is it because of the thin air here?" ”
As soon as she spoke, Chen Xue fainted.
Then Uncle Dog also fell to the ground, and Ye Lin immediately lay there, still holding the compressed biscuit that he had just opened and didn't have time to eat.
Lin Changsheng shook his head vigorously and also lay down.
