Chapter 3 Seeking Mystery in the Tomb

Tang San and his entourage wandered around the mountain road for four or five hours, and when they arrived at the place where the dragon took water, it was already early in the morning, and they couldn't take any more rest, but fortunately, Tang Sanye had seen the terrain in advance, and Shi Mo and Tang Lin dug out the tomb wall of the underground tomb with copper and iron almost effortlessly.

Tang Lin took out the dry food he carried with him and shared it with everyone, Shi Mo ate while holding a shovel around the tomb wall and patting it, surveying the location of the hand, Tang Sanye stared at Shi Mo with a nervous face, he was a little worried that the amount of earthen cannon he brought was not enough.

Shi Mo naturally knew what Tang Sanye was worried about, he smiled, and said: "It's a good thing that the tomb wall is strong, the thicker the tomb wall, the higher the identity of the owner in the tomb, and the more complete the Ming utensils are preserved, although the amount of gunpowder we bring is not much, but it is not difficult to explode if all of them are concentrated in one place." ”

Tang Sanye was overjoyed when he heard this, but his face was still silent: "In this mountain and wilderness, there are usually no people, and no one will pass by in the middle of the night, so it doesn't matter if the movement is louder, just be careful not to damage the artifacts in the tomb." ”

Shi Mo heard this: "The mountain stone here is solid, I am afraid that it is not appropriate to blast the curtain walls from both sides, and it will be much easier for us to go down from the opening of the tomb roof." ”

Shi Mo said while digging out the rammed earth layer of the ancient tomb to place the explosives lead, Shi Mo was a famous thief in North China in the early years, and was quite familiar with gunpowder equipment. The explosives exploded, and after a burst of earth and rock, a hole more than three feet wide was revealed at the top of the tomb.

Seeing that the tomb wall was broken, the three of them were not in a hurry to go down to the tomb immediately, the tomb was sealed underground for many years, and the corpse was dead and precipitated, if the living person just opened the tomb and rashly broke in, it was easy to be injured by this dead air, even if they could get away with it at that time, they would leave symptoms in the future.

The three of them drank a few cups of soju at the entrance of the tomb to strengthen their courage, put on masks and gloves, and sat down for a cup of tea, before throwing a rope from the tomb, and the three of them followed the rope into it.

The top of the tomb is about two meters high from the ground of the tomb, and after the three of them hit the ground, they took a kerosene lamp to shine it, only to find that this robbery hole was not in the main chamber of the tomb, but hit the side hall of the burial vessel. Tang San robbed the tomb for many years, his eyes were vicious, and he could see at a glance that this tomb was a tomb of the county king in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, with one main hall and two halls.

"Hey, Brother Shimo, there doesn't seem to be anything particularly valuable in this hall."

Tang Lin lit a few candles in the tomb, and the tomb gradually became transparent and bright, but there were only some porcelain and iron in the side hall of the burial, and with the passage of time, the porcelain was mostly damaged, and the iron was already covered with rust, which made Tang Lin a little disappointed.

Shi Mo picked up a porcelain bottle in the corner of the wall, looked at the condition, put it away carefully, turned his face to Tang Lin and said: "Child, when you go to the tomb for the first time, don't just think about real money, just these bottles and jars, if you take them out in good condition, you can stay abroad for a year, but this is our last order, after doing this, let's go to stay abroad to live a good life." ”

Shi Mo turned around in the funeral hall, only received a few porcelain with good condition, and then took Tang Lin to another funeral hall to collect Ming utensils, but Tang Sanye was not in a hurry, he came in and was deeply attracted by a group of murals on the wall.

Tang Sanye has traveled north and south since he was a child, experienced a lot of ups and downs, and has seen a lot of things, even if he robs the tomb in Faqiu, he will pay close attention to the inscriptions and murals in the tomb, first, to increase his knowledge, and secondly, when he sells on the black market in the future, he can also say some sources to increase his credibility.

Since Tang Sanye came down the noose, he began to carefully look at the murals on the wall of the tomb, compared to the Ming utensils scattered all over the place, that was the thing that attracted his attention the most.

The frescoes in the burial chamber are very special, the background color of the murals is a "real" dark red, not like paint, but the natural color of the stones on the walls. The characters are delicately depicted, but the characters in the painting are slightly distorted, the body is thin, the body is long, the face is expressionless, and there is a hint of grotesqueness in the indifference, but each one is slightly different.

These people's faces are happy, sad, angry, and sad, but no matter which one they are, they are all different from ordinary people, and the mural in front of Tang Sanye is a man with a distorted face holding a big knife in his hand and slashing towards a person at his feet. Tang Sanye also started from this character and slowly understood these murals.

These murals tell a piece of history, or a story, but also a brutal massacre......

The place where the mural begins is a snow-capped frost city, called Lin'an......
