Chapter Forty-Six: The Bone Urn
Shen Budo looked at the mask handed over by his subordinates and said, "No need, we have prepared our own improvised gas masks、、、
Shen Yuan stretched out his hand to take it and said, "Hey! This is a piece of Zhao Zhangpan's heart, and the gas mask is the Xibei goods bought on the road! There is definitely no good effect of the things prepared by Zhao Zhangpan, let's follow the customs, you are willing to wear what you buy yourself, Lao Tzu thinks that Zhao Zhangpan's things must be more effective than those bought on the roadside! ”
As he spoke, he put the mask on his face and gave it to Hu Xiaomei beside him. Hu Xiaomei smelled the herbs on the mask, frowned and made an expression of wanting to vomit, and snatched a simple gas mask in Shen Budo's hand. said that he didn't like the smell on the mask、、、
In this way, Shen Yuan wore the gas mask given by Zhao Zhangpan, and the rest of the people all wore the simple gas masks that Shen Budo took out. However, when wearing masks and masks, several people secretly stuffed a pill that Hu Xiaomei had quietly prepared for them on the road in their mouths, and the smell was 、、、
It's even more disgusting than Zhao Zhangpan's mask! However, according to Hu Xiaomei, this pill is a good thing for the Five Immortals Sect to detoxify and avoid miasma! Money out there can't buy it、、、
The group, including the three Long Jiushi standing at the very edge, all wrapped their mouths and noses tightly, and saw a few lights flickering in the tomb.
The earth rat who went in first had already crawled out, took off his goggles mask and said to Zhao Zhangpan: "Big brother! There is a stone gate seven or eight meters away inside, but it has been broken, and there is a dry pit inside, and there is no water! It should be honest、、、 it hasn't been broken! The dust in the ear chamber is too big and you can't see clearly、、、 you can blow the air and exhaust it! ”
Zhao Zhangpan nodded and said, "Pat and pat your clothes, don't take the grave soil with you!" And tell that over there、Let's start blowing! ”
"Hey!" The earth mouse looked at Shen Budo and Xiao Qi, who were staring at him in the distance, and quickly took off the gray raincoat, shook it off a few times, threw it aside, and tidied up the tight clothes on his body.
Inside and out, he tossed around again, in fact, he was proving to Shen Yuan and the others that he didn't have unclean hands and feet and secretly smoothed the things in the tomb. Shen Budo pursed the corners of his lips and turned his head, and the earth mouse tossed a few times, and when he saw that the other party was not interested, he stepped aside.
The two men over there were already violently shaking a hand-driven blower, buzzing, and in a few seconds, they pounced! A puff of gray dust and smoke was pushed out by the air expelled from the pipes deep in the tombway!
Everyone subconsciously took two steps back, dodging the old dust that they didn't know what the hell it contained, and the two men who shook the fan fell all over their faces! But he still endured the nausea and shook the wheel handle desperately、、、、、、
The wind blew for about seven or eight minutes! The dust miasma outside had long since dissipated without a trace, and the strong man behind Zhao Zhangpan took out a small bottle and wet a small piece of yellow horse dung paper. After getting the entrance of the tomb, he shook the air a few times, turned around and took off his mask and said to Zhao Zhangpan: "Big brother! The paper hasn't changed color, there's no miasma in it, and it's ready to enter! ”
Zhao Zhangpan nodded, turned to Shen Yuan and said, "Boss Fang! The bottom of the pit should be clean, you see, should my men go down to explore the way first, or will your men go in with you? ”
Shen Yuan glanced at Shen Budo and said, "Let's go down together!" I trust Mr. Zhao's manpower, or your people are experienced, you take the lead, let's just open our eyes! ”
Zhao Zhangpan snorted and signaled the strong man who had been following him to take the lead! With two earth rats, he entered the entrance of the tomb first, and behind him were Shen Budo and Zhao Zhangpan, followed by Shen Yuan and Xiao Qi. Hu Xiaomei was left alone, as well as a few Long Jiushi. Long Jiushi thought about it, smiled kindly at Hu Xiaomei, and also took the two junior disciples to drill in with a flashlight.
The people who went in turned on the strong flashlights in their hands to the maximum power, and the portable camp lights in the hands of the two earth rats illuminated the narrow tomb inside and out. It is estimated that this ancient tomb has not been so bright since it was built!
Shen Yuan looked at the backs of Shen Budo and Zhao Zhangpan, and reached out to touch the rough stone wall of the tomb, the stone wall did not have any stone murals, and it looked a little disappointing, it seemed that it was simply repaired to the current state by taking advantage of the trend of the natural cave.
There are only a few semi-horizontal pits with grooves left in the stone wall, which should be the place where torches and oil lamps were placed, but they are empty and there is nothing left. There were no cobwebs or anything found around, except for the remnants of some gravel in the gravel.
Soon, the group reached the end of the tomb, and a broken stone door was revealed, and half of the stone door had collapsed to the ground. The sealing stone behind the exposed stone door is also called the broken dragon stone, which is still stubbornly standing behind the other half of the stone door, and the stone door is very narrow, and the exposed half of the stone door is blocked by the thick broken dragon stone behind, which is not enough to enter people.
Not far from both sides of the stone door were two small ear chambers that were obviously all dug out by hand, and the space was even lower, and Shen Budo had bent down into the one on the left side. Shen Yuan glanced at Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi nodded and stayed in place, and Shen Yuan followed Zhao Zhangpan and got in!
At the end of the chamber, it was a little more spacious, a dozen square meters, and the three people who came in at once did not seem too crowded. Because the inside of the ear chamber seems empty! There should have been some living utensils and other burial goods, and there was only a strange stone pier in the center of the ear chamber! On the top of the stone pier is a large pottery urn with yellow bula、、、
The urn is huge, more than half a person tall! Plain and unveined, it is placed steadily, and it seems to be sealed with earth and gravel in a pottery round lid. What is a little strange is that there are two piles of yellow human skeletons scattered next to the stone pier, and the weathering and corruption of thousands of years and the polishing of time have made these two bones extremely fragile.
Zhao Zhangpan gently tapped a scattered bone with his toes, and the dry bones shattered into a small pile of scum under a few faint crisp sounds, Zhao Zhangpan wore a mask and said angrily: "It's strange, how can someone die here?" Except for this jar, there is not a single artifact. ”
Shen Yuan carefully looked at the bones on the ground, and there was almost nothing left, only a few pieces of rotten and tattered linen, which should have been the clothes of the bones.
Shen Budo flipped the two skeletons close to the stone pier, looked up at Shen Yuan and said: "The top of the forehead is broken, it seems that he died under the stone pier, there are no injuries behind the side, it doesn't look like it was executed!" Do you want to open the urn and take a look? Shen Yuan nodded.
Zhao Zhangpan called in and waited for the strong man at the stone gate, plus Shen Budo and Zhao Zhangpan, the three of them first used a few short wooden sticks to clean up the bones aside, and then worked together to use two small crowbars and a shovel to break the sealing mud, pry the lid of the pottery urn loose, and then carefully take it off and put it on the ground next to it.
The strong man turned around and retrieved the pipe that was still being shaken by the earth rat outside the tomb door and stuffed it into the mouth of the pottery urn, and as the air poured in, there was a faint humming sound from inside the pottery urn, and something that seemed to be human hair or some kind of fiber scattered.
A few people turned around to dodge, and the strong man cursed in a low voice, letting the dirty dust fall on him. When the dust cleared, the strong man took the plastic pipe and retreated to the stone door, stuffed the pipe behind the stone door, and continued to ventilate inside. Shen Yuan and the three of them walked to the one-person high pottery urn, padded their feet and looked inside、、、
"Holy! 、、、It's still 、、、" Shen Budo scolded and looked at Shen Yuan depressedly. The height of the two is half a head taller than Zhao Zhangpan, and Zhao Zhangpan stepped on the edge of the stone pier and cautiously leaned out to barely see the situation inside, only to see that under the reflection of the flashlight, there was still a pair of dry bones scattered inside!
Wrapped in an almost complete linen cloth and a few rope-like things, it took a long time to work、、、 this is an ordinary corpse bone urn! And it's the kind of bone urn that barely has any burial goods!
Zhao Zhangpan was unwilling to rummage through it with a short stick, only to find that there was a thick square stone slab under the bones, and the stone slab seemed to be the cushion of the original corpse. It is not much better than the stone slabs used to build pigsties in people's homes!
Zhao Zhangpan sighed in disappointment, he didn't even get a single hair until he opened the pit, and he lost face a little. Fortunately, except for Shen Budo rolling his eyes at him, Shen Yuan did not express any dissatisfaction.
Zhao Zhangpan shook his head and turned around and walked towards the other ear room opposite, Shen Budo glanced at Shen Yuan, but saw Shen Yuan staring at the ordinary stone slab in a daze! Pulled Shen Yuan, and saw Shen Yuan look outside, and then vaguely pointed to the stone slab! He made a downward gesture to him!!
Shen Budo looked at the slate and pointed to the ground with his finger, and saw Shen Yuan nodding、、、 Shen Budo understood! Shen Yuan felt that there might be something strange under the slate, and there must be something else underneath!
Shen Yuan shook his head and motioned him to keep quiet, and pulled him towards the opposite ear room, and as soon as he entered the ear room, he saw Zhao Zhangpan walking out dejectedly. The two of them looked at this ear room, and the 、、、 was even more amazing! Except for a solid stone pier, there is not even a clay urn! Not even a single bone residue remained、、、、、、
Shen Budo couldn't help but stab Zhao Zhangpan's back with his hand and whispered, "Zhao Zhangpan!" Just this broken jar still has to add hard money? Don't open the stone door, and inside is another jar!! 、、、”
Zhao Zhangpan had a bitter face and was about to say something, but Shen Yuan took two steps forward and scolded Shen Budo, "Ah Hua!" Don't be verbose, wealth is like water! I can't force it、、、 besides, this is indeed an undestroyed ancient tomb, and the main burial chamber hasn't been opened yet! Don't be rude to Mr. Zhao、、、 it's a big deal to open your eyes! After making Mr. Long, Mr. Zhao, two friends, are you afraid that you won't have the opportunity to see good things? Go down! 、、、”
"Yes! The boss 、、、" Shen Budo bowed his head and hurriedly retreated behind Shen Yuan, but his eyes were still full of disdain when he looked at Zhao Zhangpan. Zhao Zhangpan shook his head and said with a smile: "This is really unexpected!" Dig the mountain into a tomb! Why, there must be epitaphs and some large funeral items outside, at least there must be a little utensils or something、、、、、、 it's really strange, it seems that you can only get rich by 'being promoted' [opening the coffin]. ”
Shen Yuan nodded, and the three of them walked out of the empty right ear room and came to the front of the stone gate.
At this time, it should be that the ventilation has been almost done, and the pipe has been removed. Xiao Qi was standing quietly on the side, the strong man and the two men were laboriously moving the half of the stone door that had fallen to the ground, and after placing the stone door on the side, several people began to pry the broken dragon stone behind the stone door that looked to weigh half a ton.
It took a few people a lot of effort to pry a little bit and use a wooden wedge to cushion a little, and it took several minutes to lift up the heavy dragon breaking stone! I saw the strong man holding the largest crowbar, snorting and suddenly exerting force! I only heard a boom! A dull loud noise echoed through the tunnel, and a puff of dust bubbled up through the cracks in the broken stone doors、、、
Without the squeeze of the broken dragon stone, half of the remaining stone door was pried open inward a little bit, and the strong man took the lead! Shen Budo Zhao Zhangpan and Shen Yuan climbed over the broken dragon stone that fell at the door of the tomb in turn, and slowly touched the inside of the main tomb. Shen Yuan held up a flashlight and looked around, only to see that the cave behind the tomb door was obviously finely repaired, but the tomb still seemed to be excavated and expanded according to the original cave, and there was no such thing as a masonry arch.
It's just a little more carefully polished, and there is still no ornamental pattern, but there is a sunken niche on both sides of the tomb behind the short door!
Inside the alcove are carved two simple and simple statues of gods. Why is it said that it is a statue of God? Because the images of these two statues are different from the statues of gods and Buddhas in any religious belief in Shen Yuan's memory, the two statues have different appearances and seem to be wearing only simple clothes. One looks up to the sky, the other looks down! The facial lines are simple and blurry, and there is no joy or sorrow to be seen, giving people a primitive but weird feeling、、、、、、
Anyone who has a heart should have a feeling that when we visit the ancient Buddhist temples and Taoist temples and newly built temples that exist in the world, we can always feel that there is an essential difference between the statues of gods and Buddhas in those newly built temples and the statues enshrined in the ancient Taoist temples that have survived. That's a feeling、、、 a verve!
Although there are many newly built temples and Taoist temples, they are extremely magnificent、、、 statues are covered with gold and silver, silk and satin, incense is swirling, and the lights are colorful! The eyebrow portrayal is also tried to be perfect, which can be described as meticulous!
But it seems that 、、、compared with the old statues born under the chisel of those ancient nameless craftsmen, it always seems to be missing something、、、 it seems to be a little charm! A little aura!
But in Shen Yuan's view, what is missing should be 、、、 pious awe! The awe in the depths of the soul is carved and chiseled with simple tools, and is engraved in the smooth lines little by little, and the ancient craftsmen carved down the meaning of the statue of the god with the knife little by little! The spiritual power of man is one of the greatest forces in the world、、、
Those lowly craftsmen may not know any of the cultivation methods, but their incomparably focused spiritual power still allows them to leave this magical meaning in the world! This meaning is embodied in the majestic and mysterious statue lines、、、 expressing the mysterious rhyme to future generations! It aroused the devotion and awe in the hearts of future generations when they visited the shrine、、、、、、
"Me! Depend on! 、、、" Just as Shen Yuan was looking at the two mysterious statues and his thoughts were flying, Zhao Zhangpan, who had stepped into the main tomb first, couldn't help but let out a loud curse!
Shen Yuan hurriedly walked a few steps and entered the main tomb, and when he saw Shen Budo on the side, he couldn't help but smile a little. Standing in front of him was the strong man and Zhao Zhangpan, who had a bitter old face, and in front of the two of them, it should normally be the coffin bed where the coffin was placed!
But what makes people laugh and cry is that the coffin that should have been honestly placed there is nowhere to be found! In the middle of the empty burial chamber there was a larger stone pier! On the stone pier is still a large earthen-colored pottery urn、、、、、、
Now, even Shen Yuan is a little speechless! I've been busy for a few days, although I said that I was trying to find out the news of Wang Ziheng's group, but they were all here, and everyone hoped that they would not come in vain, right? What's the deal with picking up a few dry bones and two large pottery urns that don't even have a little ornamentation? So far, I haven't even found an old copper coin、、、、、、 which can be regarded as unlucky!
Zhao Zhangpan didn't even have the heart to take a look at Shen Yuan's expression, gritted his teeth and smashed the lid of the pottery urn with the strong man three times and five by two, and the two hurriedly grabbed the edge of the pottery urn and shone it with a flashlight.
"I 、、、 lean on 、、、" this time for the strong man scolded、、、、、、 now even Shen Yuan and Shen Budo want to scold their mother, looking at the appearance of these two brothers、、、 there should be a dry bone sitting in this pottery urn, laughing at these later tomb robbers for rejoicing in vain!
Shen Yuan and Shen Budo couldn't help but be curious, but they still came up, and the strong man sulked and handed the two of them two wooden sticks with barbs, and then pulled Zhao Zhangpan, who was still probing his brain at the mouth of the jar. said to Zhao Zhangpan: "Big brother! No ventilation! Beware of the bad luck inside the jar! ”
Zhao Zhangpan hurriedly retracted his head and asked the strong man to arrange for someone to take a pipe to blow the wind inside, while shaking his head at Shen Yuan. said: "Boss Fang! This time, it seems that there is really no gain、、、 I don't see anything 'yellow and white' in it, and there are a few black things that can't be seen as good things, so I'll turn them out later, and see how it goes!
Then let's find out if there is a secret door or a tomb in a tomb or something, in case there is a compartment or something, maybe not! I really haven't gained anything、、、 brother, I will privately send Boss Fang two things to open the door as a gift, you are a distinguished guest、、、 no matter what, I can't make you chill!" 、、、”
Shen Yuan hurriedly waved his hand: "Hey、、、 you can't force your fortune!" Mr. Zhao, don't take it too seriously、、、 brothers still have to give some of their hard work! What's going on in it is fate, maybe there are two good things, right? I like the two stone statues at the door, but it's a pity that they are carved in one piece、、、"
When Zhao Zhangpan heard this, he hurriedly said: "Don't talk about this matter of hard work!" Besides, he looks down on us gentlemen, and the two gifts will be sent to Mr. Fang when he goes back.
At the door, I arranged for someone to chisel down the statue overnight along with the base. Send it to Boss Fang as soon as possible, don't shirk it, this matter is decided! In the future, I hope that the boss of Fang will contact us more than 10,000 times, and we will make a fortune together in Japan! ”
