Chapter VII, stoneware pots

Just dig up the top of the tomb to give the two of them a dismount, if you continue to go deeper, maybe there are more powerful things waiting for them, but if you stop here, it is equivalent to the abandonment of the previous efforts, this day of exhaustion and exhaustion is also in vain, and the baby has not touched a piece, it is really unwilling.

The two of them lit cigarettes and squatted at the entrance of the cave to look around, a little hesitant.

"Bang la la ~~~~~~" something was thrown in.

It was still the fat man's cleverness, it turned out that he picked up a small piece of gravel and threw it into the hole to test the depth.

The fat man's eyes were unwilling, and he looked at Shen Jinsan: "I said, it shouldn't be deep!" ”

Judging by the time and sound of the gravel landing, the depth below was about three meters, and it was not so unfathomable, perhaps because it was too dark inside, which deepened the fear of the two of them.

Seeing the fat man move, Shen Jinsan also spoke: "Judging from the scale of the tomb, at least it is also a burial place for princes and generals, maybe you can really find a few good things, but if there is a hidden weapon in it, we can't deal with it at all, and it is very likely that we will die inside, fat man, you have to think clearly!" ”

The fat man only picked up the good ones and listened, and Shen Jinsan said that if he could find good things, it would be enough to rekindle his passion: "If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell!" Where did you get so many traps, let's go! ”

The two no longer hesitated, the fat man turned out the rope in the backpack, and found the thickest bamboo nearby, he worked hard to tie a knot on the top and threw it into the hole, and then with a flashlight in his mouth, he grabbed the rope with one hand and a crowbar with the other hand to defend himself, and climbed down first, and the two of them quickly disappeared into the night.

After a while, Guo Fatzi fell to the ground, followed by Shen Jinsan.

Their feet were covered with broken green bricks that had fallen earlier, and the people who stepped on them were a little unsteady on their feet, and although they had been ventilated for a long time, they were still a little stuffy and smelly.

Entering this unknown space, both of them were extremely nervous and imaginative, they usually don't believe in ghosts and gods, but now they are also suddenly superstitious, at this time the nerves have been tense to the extreme, and the world is so quiet that only the sound of each other's heavy breathing can be heard.

Shen Jinsan wanted to use a flashlight to illuminate the surroundings to observe the situation, but the light seemed to have been sucked away by something and could not shine too far.

"Let's go, let's ......"

Suddenly, a few broken bricks fell from above and fell to the ground, startling the two of them, and the things in their hands almost fell to the ground.

Shen Jinsan found that there was a half-human-high hole in the wall near them behind him, and there were a lot of rotten wood and broken rubble lying in it, which should be the tomb passage leading to the tomb from the outside world.

It shows that the two are at the outermost part of the tomb.

According to the tomb regulations of the Song Dynasty, there should have been a small corridor in the tomb that imitated the buildings of the time, carved beams and painted buildings, but now because of the age, it has decayed and collapsed to the point that it is impossible to see the original appearance.

The two of them did not have much interest in the tomb road, turned around and slowly pushed inward, because the location is on the top of the mountain, this tomb is still dry, its whole structure should be rectangular, the top of the tomb is a coupon vault, carved stone slabs are paved, and the tomb walls on both sides are also made of blue bricks and there is no special place.

However, there are many stoneware pots made of various folk clay around the area, which do not seem to have much value, and a few of them have been smashed when the green bricks fell, and a lot of black things leaked out of them.

When you walk in, it really makes people's scalps tingle.

The clay pot was filled with the corpses of dried spiders, centipedes and other poisonous insects.

Guo Fatzi owes his hand, and uses a crowbar to smash open several clay pots to see, and sure enough, these insects are still inside.

"Holy! What the hell is this! ”

I didn't see the valuable funeral goods, but they were all strange insects, Guo Fatzi seemed a little annoyed, so he said to Shen Jinsan stupidly: "Damn, the tomb owner should not be a pica patient who likes to eat insects before his death, such a large number, I think it will take more than half a year to catch it!" ”

Shen Jinsan is also the second monk who is confused, he has never heard of a burial bug, I don't know what it will be used for, but it is definitely not that simple, at this time he has a faint bad premonition, so he told the fat man to be careful.

Next, Shen Jinsan and Guo Fatzi held their breath and were speechless all the way, as they continued to go deeper, more such stoneware pots were stacked on both sides of the tomb, and some mottled and blurred, human-like murals began to appear on the tomb wall as far as the afterglow could see, and the atmosphere became more and more weird.

However, they didn't bother to stop to check what was still in those clay pots, believing that they would definitely not contain jewelry, and their eyes were just staring straight ahead for fear of some crisis.

Suddenly, something in the shape of a table appeared in the middle of the road not far away, and the two of them quickly stopped to observe.

Guo Fatzi was nervous for a while: "There is something in front!" ”

Shen Jinsan: "Let's go!" Don't scare yourself! ”

When I came closer, I saw that it was a very heavy and simple stone incense case, only decorated with some moire bas-reliefs on the countertop and around it, and there were some broken porcelain and wooden funerary goods that were so rotten that they could not be seen on the ground.

In the middle of the incense case is a tray-bottomed lotus-top celadon lantern, which is faintly emitting a peculiar smell, charred black and cracked lamp oil, but with a flashlight, this lantern exudes a beautiful and beautiful light.

Not only in modern times, but even in the Ming and Qing dynasties, Song porcelain was highly sought after.

On the left side of the lantern is a box that looks like it is made of metal, the black paint is so black that you can't see the specific material, and on the right is a wooden box that has been made of lacquer and is so rotten that it is about to fall apart, probably because the tomb is located on the top of the mountain and will not accumulate water, and the environment inside is relatively stable, so some things will not rot too much.

Finally saw the baby, the fat man was overjoyed, his mouth was about to crack to the back of his ear, he was so anxious that he couldn't help but want to get it but was stopped by Shen Jinsan.

"Don't move!"

Shen Jinsan was afraid that the fat man's hairy hands and feet would damage things, so he stepped forward first and picked up the metal box and looked through it in his hand.

The weight of the box is a bit of a thug, like iron and non-iron, like stone and not stone, the whole body is black and polished unusually smooth, the material is special and no one can recognize it, there is a circular groove in the middle of the lid that resembles a keyhole, which is covered with different shades of lines, this thing seems to be locked, no matter how hard they try, they can't break it, so they have to give up and put it back in place first.

Shen Jinsan went to open the wooden box again, but the box fell apart as soon as he touched it.

Pulling aside the rotten wood, he saw a roll of dark yellow animal fur inside, Shen Jinsan carefully took it out and opened it and spread it out in the palm of his hand, it turned out to be a well-preserved parchment book.

There are hundreds of Chinese characters written on the parchment book, and thanks to reading many ancient books, Shen Jinsan can still understand the content of the parchment book.

The above is about the fact that the imperial court sent troops to kill the Miao people in the late Southern Song Dynasty.
