Professor Nie put the jade pendant on the palm of his left hand and rubbed it on it with his right hand a dozen times, and soon, the pattern on the jade pendant appeared, a circular pattern composed of several phoenixes.

He turned the jade pendant around and rubbed it for a while, revealing several patterns of flying dragons in the ring on the other side.

Professor Nie counted it, there were nine dragons in total, and then turned the jade pendant over and counted the phoenixes, which turned out to be nine.

"Great—great!" Professor Nie was very excited, "Old Jin, look-"

Professor Nie turned around and handed the jade pendant to Professor Jin's hand.

Professor Jin carefully turned the jade pendant over with trembling hands, and looked at it several times: "It's really a good thing, it's really a high-standard tomb!" ”

"Yes! We had some luck. It's just that what does the appearance of a bronze mirror in such a mausoleum represent? Professor Nie was a little puzzled.

"This is most likely a husband and wife burial tomb." Professor Jin said.

Professor Nie gave the jade pendant to Zhao Zimeng, who put it in a bag.

Then he raised the light and continued to move forward - according to the process, Zhao Zimeng could not hand over the relevant cultural relics to the cultural relics department until the case was concluded, including blue and white porcelain tiles and bronze mirrors, which were to be temporarily kept by the criminal investigation team.

These artifacts, as remnants of the scene, will help solve the case.

After squatting forward for three or four steps, in the pillar of light, Ling Hu Yunfei and Zhao Zimeng suddenly felt that the space had suddenly become larger, and there was a large stone slab lying on the ground—before, Ling Hu Yunfei stopped in front of this big stone slab.

The large stone slabs are low in front and high in the back, and the lights reflect the dazzling light on the large stone slabs.

Professor Nie took the lamp from Xiang Daimo's hand and pointed it at the large stone slab, judging from his experience, there might be words on the big stone slab.

But sadly, there was not a word on it.

Zhao Zimeng took a big step forward, his feet landed on the big stone slab, he raised his head slowly, and there was no object blocking him.

Raised the lamp and swept it up and down, the space suddenly became clear, the height of the passage was about two meters, and the width was about one point and five meters, Zhao Zimeng couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart: The tomb is quite spacious and magical.

"Captain Zhao, this is the tomb road." Professor Nie said.

When Professor Nie spoke, Zhao Zimeng had already straightened his waist, and his body, which had been held back for a long time, could finally stretch freely.

"Two professors, there's a lot of space behind this." Yun Fei behind Zhao Zimeng helped up Professor Jin and Professor Nie behind him.

Xiang Daimo, the last face of the line, also stood up, and at the same time raised the lamp in his hand, and the two lamps illuminated the tomb as if it were day.

Ling Hu Yunfei and Zhao Zimeng took the lead in climbing over the inclined big stone slab and stood on the north side of the big stone slab - because the big stone slab was very tilted, about thirty-five degrees.

It was blocked at the entrance of the tomb, and everyone had to climb over the stone slab if they wanted to enter the tomb.

When the feet of the two people fell to the ground, they felt that the ground was soft, so that Hu Yunfei used a lamp to shine it, and it turned out to be black silt under his feet.

Yunfei also heard the sound of water dripping on the water, it turned out that there were still a few bays of black water not far away, and the smell of decay came to his nose, although he was wearing a mask, the smell was still very pungent.

There seems to be a stone underneath the large stone slab.

Zhao Zimeng and Ling Hu Yunfei tried to lift one side of the big stone slab, take out the stone below, and then lay the big stone slab flat.

It's a pity that although they are both muscular tough guys, the slate is too heavy, and no matter how hard the two of them try, the slate still doesn't move.

With Xiang Daimo's support, Professor Jin and Professor Nie also crossed the big stone slab with difficulty.

The light of the two lamps was aimed at the thief hole behind him at the same time, and the thief hole was in the middle of the tomb door.

"These tomb robbers are really good, look at this robbery hole impartially, pointing straight to the tomb gate.

The entrance of the robbery cave is only more than two meters away from the entrance of the tomb, and it is difficult to do it if you don't have a special skill. ”

The tomb door is arched above and rectangular below. The height of the door is about one meter and a half, and the width is about one meter.

The stone slab lying on the ground is supposed to be the tomb gate stone: the large stone slab is also arched at the top and rectangular at the bottom, and the shape, height and width of the large stone slab are exactly the same as the tomb door.

There is a rectangular opening at the top of the tomb door and on the left and right sides.

"Look, these three openings were most likely pried open by the tomb robbers with a steel drill, and the tomb door can only be opened by priing open the stone that holds the tomb door open. The three openings on the left and right sides and the top are the places where the stone pins are inserted. Professor Jin said firmly.

Professor Jin's words were quickly confirmed: "Two professors, there are also two stones of the same shape here. Xiang Daimo aimed the lamp at the east corner of the large stone slab.

Zhao Zimeng bent down and effortlessly picked up a stone with both hands.

Linghu Yunfei aimed the pillar of light at the stone in Zhao Zimeng's hand.

"This is the stone pin that holds the door of the tomb in place."

Visually, the stone pin is about 40 centimeters long, 30 centimeters wide, and about 20 centimeters thick, which is exactly the same size as the three openings.

Linghu Yunfei found a third stone pin on the west side of the big stone slab.

"These grave robbers are not ordinary! They were very knowledgeable about the structure of the burial chamber. The location of this cave is directly opposite the tomb door. ”

Professor Nie nodded and said, "The choice to dig a robbery hole in this No. 117 proves that these people are very mature in their thinking, and their judgment of the tomb is not bad." ”

"I think there should be a stone behind the tomb door." Professor Nie said.

"Lao Jin, the arrival stone may be under the stone gate."

Xiang Daimo squatted down and aimed the light of the lamp at the bottom of the stone slab, where there was indeed a triangular stone. No wonder this slate is tilted.

The two professors also crouched down and looked underneath the slate.

"Captain Zhao, there seems to be something behind the doorstone." Professor Nie suddenly said loudly.

Because Professor Nie's position was different from that of Xiang Daimo and Professor Jin, he saw what they didn't see.

Zhao Zimeng handed the lamp to Professor Nie's hand.

Professor Nie held up the lamp, and behind the doorstone, there was indeed a spherical object.

He put down the lamp and tried to reach it with his hands—Professor Nie's sleeve had already touched the mud, but he couldn't care so much, because of the small space under the stone slab, and Professor Nie's fat and belly, it took a long time to get there.

"Professor Nie, take a few steps back and let me try." Xiang Daimo said.

Ling Hu Yunfei helped Professor Nie to step aside.

Xiang Daimo walked to where Professor Nie had been before, landed on one knee, his knee sunk in the black mud, and he reached behind the door stone and groped for a moment.

He didn't touch anything: "Professor Nie, where is the thing?" ”

"Lean against the Doorstone—on the south side of the Doorstone, go inside."

Xiang Daimo put his hand on the door-to-door stone, touched it along the door-to-door stone, and finally, his fingers touched a sphere-shaped body. By feel, this sphere is a little smaller than a ping pong ball.

Xiang Daimo held the sphere firmly in the palm of his hand, and then moved his arm out of the slate.

Linghu Yunfei and Zhao Zimeng slowly helped Xiang Daimo up.

After Xiang Daimo stood firmly, he spread out his right hand, and Zhao Zimeng aimed the light at Xiang Daimo's palm.

In the palm of Xiang Daimo's hand, there was a milky white spherical body with a diameter of about 2.5 centimeters—there was some black silt on the spheroid.

Professor Jin carefully picked up the spheroid, rubbed the spheroid gently and repeatedly with both hands, and let go of his hand, and what everyone saw was a shiny orb.

"Captain Zhao, you're about to turn off the lights." Professor Nie said in a trembling voice—he looked excited.

They turned off the lights, and the inside of the tomb was suddenly dark, and in the darkness, everyone saw a little light, and the bright light shot out from Professor Jin's fingers.

When Professor Jin completely released his fingers, a night pearl appeared in front of everyone, this bead shone with blue, green and yellow light.

Could it be that this night pearl and the ring-shaped jade pendant found earlier were accidentally landed in the tomb passage by tomb robbers when they left the tomb? And the Night Pearl fell to the ground before rolling under the big stone slab?

The fact that such an important object was left in the tomb is enough to show that the burial goods in the tomb were not only large in number, but also very valuable, as evidenced by the fact that the tomb robbers killed each other.

Tomb robbers, a group born for profit, must gather for profit, disperse for profit, or even kill each other for profit.

Professor Nie was very excited: "Lao Jin, we really didn't come in vain!" ”

"Yes! It seems that the legend of the people of the nostalgic village is true. Professor Jin said as he picked up the camera around his neck.

"Pap-pa-pa-pa", accompanied by the flashing of the flash, Professor Jin took a few photos.

"This year, we have excavated three Southern Tang tombs, and this mausoleum is probably the highest in size and grade." Professor Nie was extremely excited.

Perhaps because of the different professional characteristics, Zhao Zimeng's attention was not on the specifications and level of the mausoleum, and they continued to search for the remnants of the tomb robbers on the ground.

With the mud under your feet, it is difficult to find any leftovers.

The ground here is pitted, some places are uplifted, some places are subsided, there is silt where they are sinking, and there is black water in the places where the subsidence is severe.

A small amount of water was still seeping out of the overhead and on the walls to the left and right, and the water flowed down the cracks in the bricks to the ground.

The group walked slowly forward about five or six meters, and a tomb gate appeared in front of them. This further verifies the evaluation of the specifications and grades of this mausoleum by Professors Jin and Nie.

However, this door is different from the first tomb gate, which is a large stone slab, while this tomb door is two doors hewn out of stone slabs that can be opened and closed.

The first tomb door is an arched door, while this one is square. Two stone doors are carved with a dragon and a phoenix.
