Volume 2: Nine Turns of the Underworld Chapter 21: Sweeping
Although the posture of this method is indecent, it is simple and practical, Liu Sanyan took two shovels, stepped on the shovel surface with both feet, supported the handle with both hands, and slowly moved forward.
Don't look at him who looks bloated and twists his big ass, but he runs fast, and it took him a few minutes to crawl to the opposite side.
There is a narrow foothold at the other end of the bluestone bridge, which can barely squeeze two people, but it is more than two meters away from the nearest coffin nest.
"No, this stone wall is too hard, it's all stoneless, and a shovel can't dig it at all." Liu Sanyan shouted at us.
After hearing this, Luo Jin drew the gourd in the same way, and it took a while to pass.
I couldn't see what they discussed, and not long after, Luo Jin took out a cat's claw, accurately hooked the edge of the coffin nest, tried the firmness, and jumped out.
The coffin nest is in the upper right corner of the bridge, so Luo Jin swinged up in a thrilling way, which made me scared, I didn't have any courage and skills, and I really didn't eat this bowl of rice.
Luo Jinyou climbed up to the coffin nest without danger, first looked at the coffin, and then walked to the other end.
The coffin nest was very low, and people could not stand up straight, but only hunched over.
"This is a gourd coffin, send the horns to be cut." Luo Jin shouted at us.
The gourd coffin refers to the coffin lid that cannot be opened, and can only be moved longitudinally a little bit, and the treasure can be probed through the gap.
This kind of coffin can actually be dismantled under violence, but the coffin nest space is limited, and the dismantled coffin lid can only be thrown down, but in this way, it will damage the suspension bridge below, and the suspension bridge is connected to the stone pillars, and it is difficult to knock down the stone pillars.
This kind of coffin belongs to a specific coffin, and it is set up in places with limited space, and it is most suitable for cliffs like this.
The horn scissors are not made of horns, but the style is somewhat like two curved horns, and there is a smooth but hard section at the top, which is very easy to use for clamping the Ming, and it is not too damaging to the Mingqi.
Kawa Mao sent the things over, and when he got to the other side, he hung them with a rope.
After Luo Jin got the horn scissors, he reached into the gap, and he took out the thing very skillfully, and after repeating it several times, he pushed the coffin lid back again, and climbed down the rope, Liu Sanyan and the two grabbed the other end of the rope and pulled Luo Jin back.
When they returned to the altar, Luo Jin took out the contents from the cloth bag and showed them to us.
A pair of jade bowls, crystal clear, with a flashlight without a flaw, but smaller, larger than a teacup.
This pair of jade bowls is very finely carved, made of dragons, tigers, turtles, and finches connected by the heads and tails, and many places are hollow, and I don't know how to carve them in that era.
"I'll drop a good one, Qiongshan chalcedony, this thing is too rare, it's a masterpiece." Liu Sanyan's eyes were straight, and they were about to glow.
Marijuana hurriedly asked: "Is it worth the money?" ”
I'm a complete layman with marijuana, and I can only measure good and bad antiques by their value.
Liu Sanyan couldn't put it down when he held it in his hand, and when it came to antique identification, it was like a completely changed person.
"The history of jade can be traced back to the Paleolithic Age, the specific history of the ghost does not know, thousands of years of development, the most famous four famous jade is Hetian jade, Dushan jade, Xiuyan jade and Lantian jade, in fact, this Qiongshan chalcedony is a kind of Dushan jade, the texture is delicate, with oil-like luster. This pair of jade bowls is carved from the jade core, smooth, transparent, delicate, and this material alone is amazing. ”
"In fact, the value of jade itself is not very outrageous, precious in its history and carving techniques, is there an old saying called 'jade is not cut into a tool', the same material from different people's hands, the value is turned upside down."
"Look at this pair of jade bowls, at first glance it seems to be a carving technique, simple, simple, but have you noticed that the abdomen of the four divine beasts is empty, this is definitely a miracle axe, not to mention its historical value, this carving technique is worth a fortune." Liu Sanyan said endlessly.
Marijuana drooled when he heard it, and his eyes glowed green and asked, "That's worth tens of thousands, right?" ”
Liu Sanyan rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said, "Tens of thousands? Third master, I can buy a suite in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen casually. ”
I heard that I gasped with marijuana, the housing prices in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are ranked among the best in the world, isn't that almost eight figures? Tomb robbing is really a lucrative industry, do I really want to change my career?
Miss Luo pulled me lustfully and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense, you can't sell it at this price on the black market, and it's enough for a down payment, and there are few buyers who are not black-hearted, and it's common to have no money and money." ”
That's a lot of money!
Chuan Mao and the others put away the jade bowl with a special bag, and Luo Jin took out a few more things, a copper lock, the size of a palm. A wrench, a bead of unknown material, Liu Sanyan said that this is called a corpse bead, which is usually contained in the mouth of the corpse during burial, which can prevent decay, and a good corpse bead can even ensure that the corpse will never decay.
With the beginning, we were like addicted and couldn't stop it, they turned on the looting mode in several ways, only me and Xiaomu, and the guy with the injured hand didn't do anything, stayed on the altar and watched them work.
The guy and I were both injured and unable to move, and Xiao Mu was indifferent to them, and he didn't even look at the valuable objects in their mouths, and leaned on the bowl and squinted.
Miss Luo and Luo Jin are very flexible, the cat's paw hook is accurate, like an ape climbing everywhere, at first I was frightened, and then I was numb.
The coffins that can be opened have been opened, and more than a dozen pieces of Ming ware have been collected, some of which are very well preserved, but some of them are badly damaged, after all, the age is too long, and what can survive to this day is nothing more than some jade, bronze and the like.
I don't have the experience of seeing them open so many coffins so easily, but I always feel a little uneasy.
It stands to reason that this tomb group has painstakingly set up so many institutions in the early stage, and it is estimated that it is the efforts of several generations, why is this most important place so easy for people to get their hands on?
Is it that the Dong people think that the tomb robbers have already come in, and there is no need to set up a dangerous mechanism?
But this gave me a feeling of unfinishedness, and I secretly asked the guy: "Did you go to the tomb before, and the coffin was opened so smoothly?" ”
The guy was still immersed in the Ming utensils, carefully checking the packaging of each piece, and looked at me with some confusion when he heard my question.
Then his expression was a little hesitant, obviously he also realized that the opening of the coffin was too smooth, but he was not very good at it, and he couldn't think of a reason.
I had to ask Kogi, it was so unsettling to me.
Xiao Mu opened his eyes after hearing this, and looked at the surrounding environment carefully, but he couldn't find anything abnormal for a while.
I said, "Look, we have experienced the Hall of Reincarnation, the Mirror Tomb, the Broken Soul Cable, the Huangquan Road, all the way to the danger, although the Bagua Bridge here also looks extremely dangerous, but don't you think it's too easy to crack?" ”
As soon as I finished speaking, Luo Jin and the others came back one after another and asked, "What are you muttering about?" ”
"Mr. Luo, Master Zhang said that it is not normal, the opening of the coffin is too smooth." The guy said.
Miss Luo asked, "What's wrong?" Did you find anything? ”
I scratched my head, I didn't find anything, I could only bite the bullet and say, "No, I just think it's too smooth, the road was bumpy before, but here it was so smooth that I don't get used to it." ”
Liu Sanyan stepped forward and patted me on the shoulder and said, "I said Comrade Xiao Zhang, everyone who is fighting is looking forward to going smoothly, which shows that we have withstood the test and achieved positive results, what are you worried about?" ”
Luo Jin frowned and said to me, "You talk about it first." ”
I put my mind down and said, "You think, we came in from the path of reincarnation, guarded by hell ants, there are blood corpses in the labyrinth, there are corpses and butterflies in the soul breaking iron cable, and the Huangquan Road is even more complete, this road is still trodden by someone before, and it is so dangerous, and they should not have entered here, why is it so smooth?" ”
When I said this, they also felt that something was wrong, and looked at it carefully.
But there is really nothing unusual to see here, a lonely huge stone pillar, every three or four meters there is a bluestone slab bridge leading to the opposite bank, there are a lot of coffins chiseled on the opposite mountain wall, except for the bluestone bridge can make some articles, it seems that there is no space to set up a mechanism or something.
Liu Sanyan said: "I think you are too suspicious, how can there be danger in the emptiness around here, even if there is any danger, we can just cut the suspension bridge." ”
Maybe it's really like what Liu Sanyan said, I think too much.
After observing for a long time, Luo Jin and the others didn't find anything, and planned to pack up the Ming utensils, hang them down from here with a rope, go to the suspension bridge on the next floor, and then sweep.
Xiao Mu suddenly said, "Give me the compass." ”
Luo Jin gave the compass to Xiao Mu in disbelief, and we all thought that Xiao Mu had discovered something.
Xiao Mu held the compass and walked slowly, but saw that the needle of the compass kept moving, which means that no matter how he turned the pointer, the direction of the pointer remained the same.
This is very easy to understand, we all know that the compass is because of the magnetic field, but under normal circumstances, it moves slowly, and it will slowly stop after swaying from side to side many times, but here it is different, as if the magnetic field here is extraordinarily strong, and the pointer stops in an instant.
This is obviously a problem with the magnetic field, it is impossible to have a strong magnetic field for no reason, either the Dong people have special particularities, or there are more strange traps waiting for us.
Judging from the experience of this ancient tomb, I am more inclined to one way.
Xiao Mu returned the compass to Luo Jin, and shone the flashlight to the south side where the compass pointed, there was nothing abnormal on that side, and the same was true for the other side.
And the circle above just now was swept around by Miss Luo and them, and they didn't find any difference.
"That's not right." Miss Luo questioned and said, "Have you noticed that with the meridian as the boundary, this side is empty-nested. ”
When she said that, we realized that it was true.
That is to say, there are only people buried on one side of the walls, and the other side is empty.
