Chapter VIII, The Parchment
According to the Parchment:
At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, Song Duzong Zhao Yu succeeded to the throne, the Yuan Dynasty army broke through Xiangyang and approached Lin'an (today's Hangzhou), the imperial court was defeated and retreated.
Zhao Yu was unscrupulous and suspicious, and instead of resisting the enemy, he listened to slander, and canonized the owner of the tomb as the general of the evil army, and the commanders united with the Maoshan warlocks to encircle and suppress the Miao people.
The Song soldiers robbed men and women, burned, killed and looted, and did all kinds of evil, Maoshan Taoism and Miao Jiang witchcraft lived and restrained each other, the Miao people suffered heavy casualties and almost wiped out the clan, and finally even the Miao treasure passed down from generation to generation was taken away by the tomb owner.
Fortunately, the Southern Song Dynasty died soon after, and the Mongol Khan Kublai Khan came to the aid of the Miao people to restore their vitality.
The world thought that the tomb owner had been dead for a long time, but many years later, the Miao great wizard heard that the tomb owner had betrayed the country and surrendered to the Yuan army, so he found an opportunity to kill him.
The tomb owner died tragically, and was hurriedly buried here by his family, the great wizard sneaked into the tomb and found the treasure of the Miao people, but the death of the tomb owner could not relieve his hatred, so the great wizard used the secret technique of Miao Jiang to make the corpse into a corpse Gu, so that the Gu worm devoured the soul of the tomb owner, so that it could not be reborn forever.
It's a pity that the tomb collapsed, and he was also seriously ill and couldn't leave the tomb, so he could only choose to sleep here with the enemy, hoping that after future generations saw this parchment, they could bring out the Miao treasure and return it to the descendants of the Miao people, otherwise they would be cursed forever.
After reading the parchment book, Shen Jinsan was shocked into a cold sweat, there were at least two ancient corpses buried in the tomb, one of which was not small, it was still a great wizard of the Miao tribe, this is to buy a small and open a large amount without increasing the price.
Moreover, the parchment book also mentions that there is a Miao treasure, which clearly tells the tomb robbers who come in that there is a treasure in the tomb, what kind of routine is this.
Moreover, there are many Miao branches and a wide range of distribution, if you really find that Miao treasure, who should you give it back, isn't this particularly embarrassing!
Now that I think about it, it's no wonder that when I broke through the top of the tomb, I didn't see any mechanism when I came in, it turned out that there were so many poisonous insects and ancient corpses in the tomb, and a lot of poisonous gas must have accumulated in the past thousand years.
That Miao treasure is stored in this black box, but there is no tool to open the lock, God knows what it contains.
Shen Jinsan asked the fat man to quickly put the things on the stone case into the backpack first, which is called falling into the bag for safety, and then asked him if he wanted to continue to go deeper, according to legend, unlike the modern Miao people, the ancient Miao people have always been very mysterious and good at witchcraft, and can easily kill people invisibly.
Shen Jinsan is really afraid that there will be some kind of moth, it doesn't matter if he dies, but the fat man is the ancestor of the family, in case there is something long and short, how can he be worthy of his family.
Who knew that Guo Fatzi had a baby, and his emotions were high, and he began to talk loudly: "Definitely! Definitely! You have to do things from the beginning to the end, and the first time you meet the big tomb, not everyone has this blessing! How many years have passed, this ancient corpse must have been wiped out a long time ago, there is nothing to be afraid of, what kind of Miao treasure may still be inside, not necessarily the things in this black box, how can it not be reasonable to take the fat meat that is so fast that the mouth! ”
Shen Jinsan felt that the fat man even had a special literary system, but his analysis was not unreasonable, it had been seven or eight hundred years since the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, and it was really good to be able to leave bones, and it was indeed his own worries.
Just like the fat man said, the first time he met the big tomb, this kind of opportunity may only come once in a lifetime, even if there is a second time to kill him, he will not do it, but since he comes in, touch him clean before leaving.
Seeing that there was no danger along the way, the tension was slowly relaxed, and the two began to speed up their pace.
After the stone case continue to move forward for six or seven meters, a huge stone gate stands on the top of the sky to block the way, the stone gate is surrounded by red copper corners, the top is neatly inlaid with copper rivets, a pair of animal heads are hung in the middle, all the gaps are filled with diving white ash, and there is a stone tablet on the side that should be an epitaph.
Shen Jinsan and Guo Fatzi did not approach rashly, but took a closer look first, because it is often said in the book that the stone gate in the tomb usually hides a killing mechanism, but how can these two rookies see it.
In line with the principle of protecting the fat man, Shen Jinsan asked him to stay away and decided to try pushing the door first, but the fat man was indignant and wanted to take the lead, saying that he could let his brother rush ahead, while he was a turtle with a shrunken head.
But he still couldn't stop Shen Jinsan: "In case something happens to me, there can be someone to save me, you can stay well!" ”
Shen Jinsan walked over and looked at the content of the epitaph, and found that all the engravings containing the identity of the tomb owner were scraped to a mess, and he could only see that the tomb owner's surname was Jia, Shen Jinsan was familiar with history, since it was the period of Song Duzong and Zhao Yu, he immediately thought that this was the tomb of Jia Yidao, the cricket prime minister who was spurned by thousands of people.
In history, this Jia Nidao is indeed a big villain who does no evil, the emperor was set up by him, Jia Nidao monopolized power, and the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty was inseparable from him, but the historical records record that Jia Nidao was killed by detention on the way to distribution, and it may have been in the war at that time, and the source of information of the historian went wrong.
After reading the epitaph, Shen Jinsan had a number in his heart, the scale of this tomb is not small, it may be Jia Yidao's tomb, the parchment book and the black box on the stone incense case are estimated to be put on by the great wizard after sneaking into the tomb, in order to leave important things for later generations, and the broken porcelain around the incense case is the original burial goods.
Shen Jinsan turned around to push the stone door, this stone door weighs a thousand pounds where to push open, try to find out if there is a hidden mechanism to open the door nearby, sure enough, Shen Jinsan found the clue, there is a slightly bulging blue brick on the side of the door post looks very eye-catching, he just put the palm on it, he felt a pain in the heart, quickly checked, found that it seemed to be stung by some insect, leaving a small blood spot.
Thinking that it was okay, he wiped the blood stains on his pants, Shen Jinsan pushed the raised brick again and did not encounter any obstacles, with a little force, the green brick was pushed into the wall, accompanied by a few loud noises of "gala", and the door opened a large crack that only allowed one person to pass through.
Maybe the mechanism has failed for a long time, and the stone door can't be fully opened, but it still caused the two of them to sigh.
In the past, I have only seen similar episodes in novels and TV, the ancients did have great wisdom, so many years have passed, the machine of Shimen can still operate, and where does the power to open the door come from!
But it all seemed to be coming too smoothly, and it was a little unnatural, but the two of them didn't care about these details, but a bad thought flashed in Shen Jinsan's mind.
Stepping through the stone gate, the tomb suddenly became spacious, the top of the tomb and the walls were no longer made of green bricks, but a seamless mountain stone, full of thick and thin chaotic tree roots penetrated in, as if entering a natural cave, and the terrain also abruptly descended with artificially hewn stone steps, it seems that half of the tomb should be exposed to the outside of the mountain and the other half was separated by a stone door and built in the natural cave in the mountain.
The stone steps are built slowly and steeply according to the mountain, and every seven steps are placed on each side of each side of a small black porcelain lamp, some of which still have unburned wicks, which should have been used as permanent lamps at that time, but the lamp oil has long since dried up.
Guo Fatzi hummed a little song, and put all the small cups into his backpack, and he was very happy to take them.
Because Shen Jinsan told Guo Fatzi that these black cups are similar to the very famous Jianzhan, and they should also be extremely precious porcelain, and they can be exchanged for imported cars when they are taken out and sold.
Seven seven forty-nine steps of stone steps to walk, it is a natural small stone platform, the front of the stone platform has been polished by people, in the middle there is a smooth surface without lines of the square copper tripod, this copper tripod is more than one person high, the bottom of the black lacquer is black, it looks as if it has been roasted by the fire, the eaves part of the casting two ears are very stocky, in the middle there is also a lot of black jelly-like semi-liquid.
"Let's go! Come on! Come on! ……”
This thing smelled very bad, Shen Jinsan and Guo Fatzi smelled so sick that they almost vomited out the overnight meal, they pinched their noses and hurried away, for fear of being poisoned by this smell.
During this period, the fat man said to Shen Jinsan that this may be an ancient secret turtle jelly, and he may be able to live forever if he eats a bite, but Shen Jinsan is really too lazy to pay attention to this guy, and only said that he still has the heart to joke when it is.
"Oops, hey!" Who knew that after walking a few steps, Guo Fatzi stumbled and almost fell into the mud.
It is difficult to find without careful observation, and there is a very shallow step that descends slightly after the copper tripod, and there is a more open platform under the step.
The two of them stopped to observe, this is a small and narrow cave dozens of meters square, looking deeper, the flashlight is not as bright as the shadow seems to be hiding a huge object, hazy and unable to see the specific shape.
At first glance, this huge object looks like a giant beast lying on the ground ready to ambush its prey, which makes people shudder.
