Chapter 4: The Cave Tomb

To be honest, I really can't wait now, and as soon as Blind San'er stood up, I quickly followed him out.

Blind San'er drove me to the northwest of Baklang for about three kilometers, this town on the ancient Silk Road has been completely buried by the wind and sand of the desert, three kilometers away from Baklang, it is like a no-man's land that has not been set foot in for thousands of years.

The surrounding lights were dark, but when Blind San'er parked, the car lights reflected a few people who were hiding in the dirt cave with their necks bent, these were Blind San'er's buddies, guarding the ancient tomb they had excavated.

I got out of the car and took a look, and what they found should be a very standard folk tomb in the ancient Western Regions, this kind of tomb is called Tudong Tomb, which has been widely spread in various regions of the Western Regions since the first century AD.

Blind San'er turned off the car lights and let the other guys continue to stay outside, and he personally carried a miner's lamp and took me down to see it. This earthen cave tomb is very old, and it was completely buried in the ground by dust and sand, and the blind San'er managed to make a concave hole to keep the horizontal direction into the interior of the tomb.

"Third brother." When the blind San'er was about to bend down and enter the hole, I felt an indescribable panic for no reason, and quickly reached out to grab him: "You'd better tell me first, what is here." ”

"See for yourself." Blind San'er patted me on the shoulder: "This kind of thing, you really need to see it yourself." ”

I couldn't help it, so I slowly followed Blind San'er into the hole, Blind San'er turned on the miner's lamp, the light was bright and bright, and the originally dark and empty underground was immediately illuminated.

I'm a layman and don't have much practical experience, but my theoretical knowledge is still very rich. According to what I see now, what I see is an underground earth cave tomb of about less than 30 square meters, and the soil layer here is too upright, so there is a "dragon support wood" made of poplar logs in the tomb.

The space of thirty square meters is not big or small, but the tomb is empty, and there is a wooden coffin in the middle. The lid of the wooden coffin was obviously opened, and Blind San'er probably didn't lie, after his team opened the coffin here, there was no follow-up, and they were waiting.

The thing is obvious, what Blind San'er wants me to see is in the wooden coffin.

"It's all the way it is." Blind San'er swept around with a miner's lamp, and finally stopped the light on the wooden coffin, and said to me: "The guys opened the coffin, and nothing else moved, you can see for yourself." ”

The light of the miner's lamp was so strong that when the bright light shone on this wooden coffin buried deep in the dust and sand for countless years, my eyelids suddenly jumped twice.

This is a log wooden coffin about 1.7 meters long and about 1.2 meters wide, and in the light, I can see that the whole wooden coffin seems to be flashing like a copper coin.

Periwinkle!?

I involuntarily swallowed my saliva, it felt incredible. Although the origin of periwinkle wood is not far from here, there are only a few of these trees, even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty can only get a section that is more than three feet long, and in this very inconspicuous earthen cave tomb, there is a wooden coffin of periwinkle wood.

All my attention seemed to be attracted by this Changchun wooden coffin at once, and I slowly moved my steps and walked to the wooden coffin step by step. The lid of the coffin had been opened before, and as soon as it was close, the owner of this wooden coffin was immediately presented in front of him.

"This? What is it? "I saw at a glance that there was a brown fluffy thing inside the wooden coffin, and I was very surprised, and I couldn't help but look back at Blind San'er.

Blind San'er didn't speak, just took a step forward and raised the miner's lamp in his hand a little higher. In this way, the fluffy thing in the wooden coffin was immediately clear.

At this moment, my eyes and brain were stimulated by the scene in front of me, as if I had suffered a very serious physical injury.

I can't be mistaken, this brown fluffy thing in the coffin is a monkey.

The legendary periwinkle wood has antiseptic properties, and the monkey in the wooden coffin seems to perfectly confirm this. Blind San'er told me before that this earthen cave tomb must have been a long, long time ago, and it had never been stolen and dug up, which also shows that this wooden coffin, together with the monkeys in the wooden coffin, belongs to the same era as the earthen cave tomb.

The monkey is very well preserved in the Changchun wooden coffin, except for a slight dehydration of the body, the rest of the body tissues have not been affected and damaged by any external influence. Standing next to the wooden coffin, I could clearly see that the monkey had only one eye.

One-eyed monkey!

I kept the box in my hands for two years, more than 700 days and nights, and I never forgot what happened around it. When I saw the one-eyed monkey in the wooden coffin, the memories that had been sealed in my mind swarmed out like a tidal wave.

The one-eyed monkey on the longevity box...... And the words that Silly Hai brought me......

I can't open the box unless I see the carved thing on it with my own eyes.

"Do you see clearly?" Blind San'er patted me on the shoulder and asked, "Isn't it strange?" ”

"Third brother...... "I turned my head, my dizzy brain seemed to be lightning back to normal, two years ago, the old man Liu and the longevity box, I didn't tell anyone, blind San'er just saw the longevity box, but how would he know the relationship between the box and the one-eyed monkey?

"I'm afraid you haven't seen it clearly, let's see." As he spoke, Blind San'er put the miner's lamp directly on the edge of the wooden coffin, and the strong light directly hit the one-eyed monkey, and even every monkey hair was extremely clear.

By this time my mood had stabilized a little, and my powers of observation had returned, and I saw a crying and laughing expression on the face of the monkey, whose flesh was almost dry, and above its neck was a stone shard tied with a straw rope.

The stone flakes are very ordinary, after simple polishing, they are about six or seven centimeters long, and there are obvious carved handwriting on the stone shards.

At this moment, it was as if a thunderbolt sounded above my head, directly turning my head into a daze.

I finally understood why Blind San'er had called me from Huayang, thousands of miles away, to Baklang.

The thin stone tablets are crookedly engraved with three characters, three Chinese characters: Lian Chengfeng.

Although the font is messy, I will never be wrong with my own name. I was stunned, my head covered in mush, completely unexpected, something like this would happen in Bucklang, a place where birds don't.

My brain was in a trance, and I even wondered if I had a very long dream, I stretched out my hand in a daze, and pinched it my thigh, it hurt, it hurt, it hurts, this is enough to show that I didn't dream, what I saw at the moment is all true.

"Third brother, are you sure that the wooden coffin and the monkey in this earthen cave tomb are all from a long time ago?" I still can't believe that there is a one-eyed monkey in a cave tomb that has been buried for so long, and what is even worse is that the stone shard hanging from the monkey's neck is engraved with my name.

"These guys under my command are not idle eaters, whether anyone has touched this pit or not, they can see it." Blind San'er said: "I can guarantee with you, the things in this pit can't be faked." ”

"But ......"

"Chengfeng, I don't know what happened to you, when you showed me that longevity box two years ago, I wanted to ask you, but the ancient line has the rules of the ancient line, I don't want to talk too much, but now, I have to give you a reminder." Blind San'er took out a cigarette, lit it and took a hard puff, and said: "To tell the truth, I have been in the ancient industry for so many years, and I have seen too many strange things, but this time, even I have opened my eyes, I have never encountered such a paradoxical thing." ”

"It's paradoxical." I smoked a cigarette and smiled bitterly, even a fool can now tell that I must be in trouble, otherwise, the longevity box and the stone chip on the monkey's neck would not have appeared in my name for no reason.

"No, you didn't understand it thoroughly, the stone chips on this monkey's body, with your name, have surprised me very much, but there are even more surprising circumstances."

Blind San'er extinguished the cigarette in his hand, carefully put the cigarette butt in his pocket, and then took out a steel drill as thick as a little thumb, he slowly took the steel drill, and gently pulled it on the monkey's right forearm in the wooden coffin.

The hair on this monkey's body is brown, very long, thick and dense monkey hair in the environment without the influence of external forces, it will definitely block some details, blind San'er took the steel drill and pulled it like this, I really saw something I didn't see.

People like Blind San'er generally don't express surprise or surprise at something, and most of the people in the ancient city are relatively deep. But if he said that it was something that surprised him, then it must be a great thing.

That's right, there is really something very paradoxical about this monkey. If I hadn't come to Baklang in person and entered this earthen cave tomb myself, then I wouldn't have believed it even if Blind San'er had told me.
