Gang Wenbin and Lao Hu fell into a lot of meat, fortunately, Lao Hu's body size was much larger than that of Gang Wenbin, Lao Hu fell down first to become Gang Wenbin's human flesh pad, plus there was thick river sand on the ground, they were not injured.

"Oh, my mother, Xiaogang, what kind of place is this", Lao Hu said in a long voice, as if he was about to hang up.

"I don't know, let's get up first", when Yan Wenbin and Hu Haitian stood up, except for a little light within ten meters in front of them, they couldn't see any other places, and it was dark in front of them.

"Lao Hu, is there a fire fold? Yan Wenbin said.

"No, but just now the fire of our grilled fish fell down with it, wait for me to find a few pieces of charcoal that have not been extinguished and make a gentleman's fire", Lao Hu found a lot of charcoal that had not been extinguished and piled it together, and soon made a fire.

Under the illumination of the firelight, there is a bronze statue of the phoenix bird made of metal not far in front of the ground, the shape is extremely exquisite, the phoenix bird has an oil lamp in its mouth, in addition, they are surrounded by stone walls, and there are a lot of moss in some places, seeing such a scene, Yan Wenbin understands what kind of place this is.

Because there is a smell of mildew in the air, this smell Yan Wenbin knows very well, his grandfather has such a smell, his grandfather often goes to the tomb, and over time he also has this smell on his body, and now Yan Wenbin feels that this smell is very affectionate, he can be sure that he is in the ancient tomb.

"Lao Hu, we may have fallen into the ancient tomb, don't worry, there are lamps here, don't move, I'll go see if there is lamp oil in it first, don't move, you will die, this is my warning to you, wait for me to come back", Yan Wenbin knew that Lao Hu would not give up, he must feel that there are many magical things in this place, and he can't help but walk around and look around.

"Xiao Gang, how do you know that we fell into the ancient tomb", Lao Hu fell dizzy, and still hasn't figured out what happened just now, so Lao Hu didn't react when he heard the ancient tomb, he is now like a computer crash, and he can't ease it up all of a sudden.

"You stand here and don't move, be careful to trigger the mechanism, and give me a wooden stick", but seeing Lao Hu's stupid appearance, Yan Wenbin could only pick up the wooden stick on the ground with his own hands and walk forward, and at the same time silently read in his heart that Lao Hu must not fall stupid.

Sure enough, he guessed correctly, in the lamp held by the phoenix bird, Yan Wenbin found the lamp oil that had not been burned, he tore off his clothes and dipped the lamp oil to wrap the wooden stick, and soon a torch appeared in the hand of Yan Wenbin, Yan Wenbin took the torch and lit all the oil lamps.

"Xiaogang, it's really an ancient tomb", after all the oil lamps were lit, Lao Hu was stunned by the scene in front of him.

Yan Wenbin looked up, they fell at the gate of the position, in front of them is to go up, with the whole stone carved out of the steps, in front of the steps are two bronze bronze phoenix birds more than two meters high bronze phoenix bird with lamp bronze lamp, over the bird Zun up the nine steps, in front of the front is a big square, there is a high platform in the center of the square, there are steps up all around the high platform.

There is a road leading to the center of the square in the middle of the square, and on both sides of the road there are bronze statues of ancient palace maids kneeling on the ground carrying oil lamps, a total of twelve, extending to the front of the high platform.

At the back of the square is a platform, there are also nine steps to reach this platform, on both sides of the steps up the platform are placed two huge wings all open, golden phoenix, not only that, on each step behind there is a small ancient bronze statue of a woman holding an oil lamp.

Up the steps, there is a three-meter-high statue of the goddess in the middle, I don't know what material is made of, it looks like the luster of the metal surface is different from all the metals here, a little translucent and translucent, and the surface is like being plated with titanium alloy.

Behind the statue of the goddess is a glimpse of the stone wall, there is nothing on the stone wall, and the most obvious thing in the whole hall is the high platform, because there is a large coffin on the high platform, and you can see the head of this underground palace at a glance.

Gang Wenbin They are still standing in the position where they fell just now, just now Gang Wenbin was able to light all the oil lamps, even if it was a big risk, it was a complete fluke not to touch the mechanism, now he saw everything in front of him clearly, and only then did he feel that he had just been closed from the ghost gate.

"This is really an ancient tomb, Xiao Gang, what did you find, whether there was a big yellow croaker, and gold, silver and jewelry or something", Lao Hu couldn't believe his eyes, and insisted on letting Yan Wenbin slap him, he had to feel the pain, Lao Hu believed that he was not dreaming.

"It's true, except for the ancient tomb, the place where no one lives will be in this form, there is no coffin on the high platform of the housekeeper, maybe there is gold in it, but take your time, don't be nervous, there will be a mechanism here nine times out of ten."

"Are we getting rich, Xiao Gang, how much is this phoenix bird bronze oil lamp in front of us worth" Lao Hu looked at the phoenix bird zun who was taller than him, and couldn't wait to take a bite to see if this thing was made of gold.

I don't know how much it's worth, but it's no problem to exchange twenty small yellow croakers, if you give it to the third master of Guang, you can feed more than a hundred people if you buy this thing, do you say it's worth it, although Yan Wenbin has very little knowledge of antiques, but more or less than Lao Hu knows."

"This thing can be worth twenty little yellow croaker, if you take out all the things here, I don't know if you can marry Cuihua" Lao Hu Cai didn't believe that although it looked beautiful, it could actually be worth twenty small yellow croaker, although this thing was beautiful, but it couldn't be eaten as a meal, and some people were willing to replace it with a small yellow croaker.

Originally, "big yellow croaker" is the common specification, rich families usually save a few gold bars as the bottom of the box, but later gold and silver are cheap (the legal currency of the Republic of China is the silver standard, the earliest one yuan legal tender is priced according to a silver dollar), ordinary people also want to buy gold, and "big yellow croaker" is obviously too expensive to buy, so the gold shop minted 1 tael of small gold bars (31.25 grams today), commonly known as small yellow croaker, middle-class families generally play this.

But in their period, driven by inflation, the fiat currency began to depreciate, and at this time they began to use the ocean (Yuan Datou), a small yellow croaker can be exchanged for thirty to thirty-five Yuan Datou.

Half a year ago, when Lao Hu's family had not been harmed by the bandit leader Guang Sanye, his family members had more than 30 people in total, and the monthly expenses were only fifteen oceans.

Twenty small yellow croakers are sixty oceans, which is almost the annual cost of more than 30 people in Lao Hu's family.

At that time, the warlords were fighting, the country's family was empty, the people of Pingtou were hungry, and it was a problem for Kangmi to mix picnic dumplings for three meals, and a bag of millet could marry a daughter-in-law, let alone an ocean.

During the Republic of China, an ocean was worth more than 700 yuan now, and Mr. Lu Xun bought a courtyard house in Beijing for only 800 oceans, and 1,000 oceans were considered to be middle-class, and Lao Hu married Cuihua for 100 oceans.

"Then what are you waiting for, move away quickly, you can marry ten Cuihua if you move away", Lao Hu spit in his hand after speaking, rolled up his sleeves and was about to do it, that posture may not be able to pull back ten cows.

"Do you want to die? The ancient tomb is full of organs, if we accidentally touch it, we don't know how to die, although this thing is good, but it has to be a life flower", Yan Wenbin grabbed Lao Hu, he didn't want Lao Hu to be glorious here.

"Xiao Gang, didn't you leave without a problem just now? What are you afraid of?" Lao Hu can be described as a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.

"I'm afraid of death, just now I followed the footprints of people, although there is an ancient tomb here, but someone has been here, they have not taken away the things here, these lamp oils and candles are all people to a certain time, they came to replace it once, and it should be a guardian."

"You mean"。。。。。

"This tomb is guarded, otherwise how could I follow the footprints of people and light all the lamps."

"But there's no problem with moving one or two, let's not be greedy", Lao Hu is actually willing to give up, just take one of the things here can be exchanged for hundreds of oceans, it is a fool to take one or two, others don't know Lao Hu, but Yan Wenbin doesn't know yet? Usually he eats sweet potatoes and hides a few, not to mention valuable things.

Sure enough, before Yan Wenbin could speak, there was a sudden sound of metal falling to the ground.

"What is this", Lao Hu kicked the thing that fell on the ground to the side after speaking, obviously not wanting Yan Wenbin to know, but Lao Hu was nervous, his hands were trembling, and his eyes were spinning in his sockets, obviously looking like a thief.

"Don't you know what, when did you take it", Yan Wenbin didn't finish speaking, and was about to pick up the antiques that were kicked away by Lao Hu, and two identical bronze cups fell from Lao Hu's body.

In fact, the old Hu took away the palace lamp, the lamp body is a whole body gilded, the palace maid who sits with both hands holding the lamp, the demeanor is quiet and elegant, the lamp body is 15 cm high, weighs 15.85 kg, the palace lamp design is very ingenious, the palace maid holds the lamp in one hand, and the sleeve of the other hand seems to be blocking the wind, which is actually a rainbow pipe, which is used to absorb oil smoke, which not only prevents air pollution, but also has aesthetic value.

Yan Wenbin glanced at Lao Hu with slanted eyes, then picked up the bronze cup that fell on the ground, took it away, why did they have to kick it away when it fell to the ground, they came down for these things, because these things can be exchanged for a lot of big yellow croaker, which can make them live a worry-free life.

"Don't pick it up yet, remember to divide it equally, but don't act rashly, it's not a joke to touch the mechanism" Yan Wenbin is also a greedy master, but he is much more sober than Lao Hu, because when he arrives here, he will lose his life if he is not careful.

"I know, equally, must be divided, without you I can only be fooled, maybe when scrap iron is sold, such a palace lamp used to be said by Lao Hu's grandfather, placed in the Empress Dowager Dou (Liu Sheng's grandmother) in the Changxin Palace and named, called Changxin Palace Lamp, I didn't expect that there are so many here, although it is not as valuable as any one, but it can also be exchanged for a lot of big yellow croaker" Lao Hu said with a simple face.

Xiao Gang, do you think you can exchange this for a hundred oceans? In fact, Lao Hu has no bottom in his heart, he doesn't know whether he is a treasure or a broken copper and iron that is not worth anything at all, since he has come down, there is no saying that he returns empty-handed, and he can take away everything he can as much as possible, regardless of whether he is worth it or not.

"Don't talk, I want to take a good look here", Yan Wenbin Bing was not carried away by these things, maybe this is not a real tomb, because he walked roughly just now, and there is nothing valuable here, maybe this is just the front hall, used to deceive people.

Yan Wenbin did not go forward, but looked back, behind him is a stone wall, if he guessed correctly, in front of him is the tomb gate between the front hall and the Yongdao, but the tomb door he saw was not a door, but a large stone slab, it can only be said that after repairing this tomb, someone put down the broken dragon stone, and the people outside have no way to come in, unless the tomb is blown up.

For people in ancient times, it was true that they could not open the Broken Dragon Stone weighing tens of thousands, but after the invention of gunpowder, it was very simple to blow up the stone door, as long as there were enough explosives, it was not a problem to raze this place to the ground, the key was to see if there were enough explosives and whether they wanted to blow up here.

In addition, there is no corpse here, which further verifies Yan Wenbin's judgment, although there is a coffin on the high platform, but the age of the coffin is asymmetrical with the time here, the coffin is newly made, less than 20 years, because he can smell the smell of new wood, it looks old, it is because someone will make it old, so that the coffin will look like a long time.

Because in ancient times, whether it was princes and nobles or ordinary people, there was a saying that death was like life, and when a person died, it was like a person who had just been born, but he was no longer alive after death, but his life did not end there, but went to another world, and then lived his previous life, so the scale of the tomb, of course, should be built as in the living period, and all the things used in life should be brought with it.

In the past, the princes and nobles used things during their lifetimes, which one was not priceless, put these here, how could the people who built the tomb bring the news out, so every time the last procedure of a tomb is completed, all the people involved in the construction of the tomb must be killed, one is to block the news, but as a burial, from ancient times to the present, it has been like this.

That's why Yan Wenbin feels that this is just a part of the whole tomb, this is the front hall, which is equivalent to the courtyard of the house, which is not expensive, and more valuable things are still behind, that is, in the coffin of the tomb owner, these are just some items that are not exquisite, and the purpose is to confuse others.

Yan Wenbin's grandfather once told Yan Wenbin that people will put the most valuable and exquisite things in front of them by their side, and all the good things are in the coffin of the tomb owner, where they can reach out, and even under the corpse, but the things that appear here are so valuable, not to mention the treasures in the coffin.

Although the things in the coffin are the most valuable, but to take them out alive, if you are ready to die here, everything here is of no value, so Yan Wenbin is looking for the tomb door now, and at the same time hopes to find a place to leave here.

Now there is no problem with the things in his and Lao Hu's hands to exchange them for twenty big yellow croaker, this time their goal has been achieved, but Yan Wenbin's concept has changed now, he hopes to take a little more valuable things, and even find gold, so he doesn't want to leave here for the time being, but wants to take a risk.

"What's the matter, Xiao Gang, what are you worried about" Hu Haitian looked at Yan Wenbin's sad face, he couldn't guess what Yan Wenbin was thinking.

"I'm worried about how we can escape if the spirit keeper appears, here is seven or eight meters high from above, we don't have a rope, even if there is a rope, when the spirit keeper arrives, we may not have enough time to escape" Yan Wenbin didn't forget the dream not long ago, and didn't want to be caught by the spirit keeper.

"That's right, such a rich tomb, his descendants are not short of money, what age is this, bandits have guns, not to mention the guardians, such a big curtain, at least dozens of people take turns to guard, they are at least equipped with crooked handles, hurry up and find it, it's going to be sudden, my cuihua is someone else's."

In fact, the crooked handle of the old nonsense is the Taisho 11 light machine gun used by small Japan at that time, and it is also a kind of light machine gun widely used in Japan in World War II, 6.5 mm caliber light machine gun, because it was finalized into a standard equipment in 1922 (that is, the 11th year of Emperor Taisho of Japan). Its butt is bent to the right in order to facilitate aiming against the cheek, so it is commonly known as the "crooked handle" machine gun in China.

But such a gun was not produced only in 1922, because it took a certain amount of time from the design of the gun to mass production, generally four or five years, so now as long as you have money, you will not have difficulty getting a crooked handle.

"It seems that you haven't been carried away by money, take the things in your hands, find the exit first, if you meet the guardian, you won't go home empty-handed after running out, this is for you, if it's too late, just throw away the things in your hand, life matters, this is enough for us to eat for a lifetime", after speaking, Yan Wenbin threw out a bead to Lao Hu.

"What is this, it's still a thief", Lao Hu said as he looked at the beads in his hand.

"Pearl of the Night".

"Night Pearl, such a big dang, my obedient, made a fortune, it was rumored that the Night Pearl in the mouth of the Empress Dowager Cixi was not so big, but it is priceless, is it really a Night Pearl? Wouldn't I be rich", after saying that, Lao Hu was going to bite with his teeth, he was used to biting gold, which was a problem that Lao Hu couldn't get rid of.

Legend has it that in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Night Pearl was priceless, comparable to the Hebi, at that time only the big official Tao Zhugong (Fan Li) and Yidun (Warring States Period) two people could afford it.

Qin Shi Huang was buried in the night pearl, in the mausoleum "to replace the anointing candle". Empress Guangwu of the Han Dynasty's younger brother Guo Kuang "hung pearls and hung on all sides, looking at them like stars during the day and like the moon at night" to show off his wealth.

When the Tang Dynasty had a car, a night pearl called "water droplets", sold for hundreds of millions, the world's most famous night pearl, naturally the Empress Dowager Cixi's mouth of the "beautiful shoes", weighing four taels of two dollars and seven cents, in 1908 it was estimated at 10.8 million taels of silver, accounting for one-third of the GDP of the Qing government at that time,

Later, in the first year of Xuantong, Chinese and foreign antique collectors and jewelers estimated, the value rose tenfold, and the late Republic of China was appraised again, and it had to rise a hundred times, and it was impossible to value it today, that is to say, if someone bids to buy, less than 80 billion legal currency, the country will not consider it, so it is priceless, if it is inlaid on shoes, it is said that hair can be seen within 100 steps at night.

In 1920, the total financial revenue of Guizhou Province was 70 million oceans, and the price of the Night Pearl was enough to exchange for several Guizhou Province.

"Where did you get it", Lao Hu looked at the night pearl in his hand, and laughed so hard that his mouth cracked to the root of his ears.

"Don't tell you, otherwise you will definitely have to find the Night Pearl, and now it is important to find the exit quickly", Yan Wenbin was not as greedy for money as Lao Hu, but they searched for a long time in front of the Broken Dragon Stone, and they did not find any clues.
