Chapter 96: Stump Corner
The old prostitute suddenly braked sharply in front, which I didn't expect, but fortunately I couldn't run fast with my backpack, otherwise I would have to hit it.
After stopping, I immediately shone the flashlight in front of the old prostitute looking, and saw that less than 20 meters away from us, a real burial chamber appeared.
The flashlight shines past, although it is slightly faint, but it can still be seen that there is a tomb in front, but the tomb door in front of the tomb should have been demolished, and the whole tomb is naked in front of us.
There is a black coffin in the middle of the burial chamber, and we can't make out what material it is standing here. I glanced at the old prostitute and asked, "What's wrong?" Why don't you go? ”
"Oh my god, didn't you see that it was a burial chamber inside?"
"See, what's wrong, you can't be scared when you see the coffin, right?" I asked.
"Oh my god, are you talking about me, or are you talking about yourself? Scared, how the fuck can I be scared, it's too late for me to get excited. After speaking, the old prostitute began to rub her fists and palms, revealing an extremely sinister smile.
"Since you're so excited, why don't you hurry up."
The old prostitute glanced back at her back and motioned for me to wait for them. Xiao Moyan and Meng Xinrui were still walking slowly behind, as if they were counting the marks on the ground.
After the two of them had come over, we walked together to the tomb.
This burial chamber is the end of the passage, and it seems that this is the end. When I walked into the tomb, I saw that the black coffin was actually made of stone, a black sarcophagus.
The qiē in the tomb is very simple, and there is no luxurious decoration, which can be seen at a glance. This is a typical official burial tomb. The burial chamber is square, vaulted, and the sarcophagus is placed in the center, and there is an ear chamber on the left and right sides, but the entrance to the ear chamber seems to be deliberately blocked.
Although the tomb is not large, the atmosphere of the official burial is strong, and the walls are surrounded by ancient bricks, and the murals on the walls are already blurred, which should be caused by the oxidation caused by the air circulation here, and it is difficult to distinguish the dynasty in which the tomb is stored.
The ground in the tomb is also full of white sand, and part of the sarcophagus has been under the white sand, from the tomb in the direction we just walked in, we found that the layout of the entire tomb is completely inconsistent with the outside passage, as if this tomb is not worthy of the outside passage.
Although the specifications of the tomb are already acceptable, and it also shows that the tomb owner is an official eunuch, it is still very inconsistent with the passage outside. If we extrapolate from the width of the outer passage, then the burial chamber must have been a large space, at least several times larger than here, to match the outer passage.
The emergence of this pattern is contrary to common sense, and the tombs in the past were all small passages and large burial chambers. The tomb highlights the identity and status of the tomb owner, so it will be built very atmospheric and spectacular. I've never heard of a tomb with a passage bigger than a tomb.
I thought, could it be that the Murong family was very rich when they built this place, but as soon as the passage was opened to the location of the tomb, they were depressed, and they had no money to continue to build a large tomb, so they had to build such a small tomb in the end.
If you think about it, it is not impossible, after all, it is not an overnight thing to build a large passage outside. Maybe it will take years, if not decades, to build this place, and who knows if anything will change in those years.
I have heard before that there was an emperor in ancient times, when the country was rich, he built a large number of buildings to build the imperial mausoleum, and the project was just half built, and the war came, and the war urgently needed money, so he had to put down the matter of the imperial mausoleum. But I didn't expect that this war was fought for several years, the country was poor, and after the war, the treasury couldn't afford to build the imperial mausoleum at all, and finally the emperor had to endure it, and after his death, he was buried in the imperial mausoleum that was only half built. Of course, half of what I said is not that the imperial mausoleum has only been repaired half, but half of it is splendid, and the other half is surrounded by walls.
I thought to myself, if the emperor is still like this, it is impossible for the Murong family to reach the level of the rich and rival country, maybe it is really built to the tomb and the family road is falling, so the tomb here will look stingy.
The old prostitute circled the sarcophagus in the middle three or four times, always staring intently there. Meng Xinrui and Xiao Moyan were cleaning the entrance to the left ear chamber, where a lot of tattered things had piled up, which just blocked the entrance to the left ear chamber.
As soon as I saw it, I didn't want to be idle, the two women had already done it, and I couldn't watch it here, so I hurriedly walked towards them, wanting to clean the entrance to the ear chamber with them.
As soon as I walked up to the old prostitute, I was grabbed by the old prostitute and said, "Xiao Qi, don't you think it's familiar?" Then he gave me a look and asked me to look at the sarcophagus behind me.
When I heard the old prostitute ask me, do you know me? I glanced back at it, and felt that it was a very ordinary sarcophagus, and I didn't see anything familiar, and I felt that this sarcophagus was the same as a normal sarcophagus, there was nothing special, and there was no pattern carved on the sarcophagus.
"What, do you look familiar?" I asked rhetorically.
The old prostitute nodded, pointed to a corner of the sarcophagus, and said, "Look here, isn't it familiar?" ”
I looked in the direction of his finger, and the upper corner of the sarcophagus was a little broken, I don't know if it was because it fell off naturally over time, or if it was knocked off by something, in short, it was the size of a small fingernail.
Looking at the mutilated corner of the sarcophagus, I didn't feel familiar, I didn't have any impression at all, so I had to ask the old prostitute, "Have you seen it anywhere?" ”
"Yes, you've seen it."
You've seen this sentence from the old prostitute, but it confuses me. And the heart said, Where have I seen this sarcophagus before?
I looked at the black sarcophagus carefully as I struggled to remember. I haven't known the old prostitute for a long time, and the number of times I went to the tomb can be counted on my fingers, what he has seen, what I have seen, what I have seen, is nothing more than the few times I have seen the tomb together, but no matter how I think about it, I don't remember where I have seen the black sarcophagus with a missing corner.
Looking at the black sarcophagus in front of me, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that something was wrong. I thought to myself, no, this can't happen.
If it really happens, it is not a familiar thing, and it is a major event in today's tomb robbery world. You know how incredible it is that you saw a sarcophagus in one ancient tomb yesterday and today it appears in another ancient tomb.
"Old prostitute, if you have anything to say, don't sell it, have you seen this sarcophagus somewhere."
"Oh my god, I let you see the stone inside, I didn't let you see the sarcophagus." The old prostitute pointed to the mutilated horn again.
I was relieved to hear the old prostitute say that it was for me to look at the stones. The heart said, as long as you have not seen this sarcophagus in other tombs.
When I looked at the mutilated part of the sarcophagus, it was really different from the color of the outside of the sarcophagus. Although the incomplete part is not large, the color of the inner stone can still be seen clearly, especially when the flashlight is illuminated, the two blacks have a sharp contrast. The exterior of the sarcophagus looks a little dark, even when the flashlight shines on it, it also looks dull. The inner black of the stone looks brighter, as if the stone contains water.
Looking at the inner color of the stone, I suddenly realized where I had seen it, and immediately thought of where it was, and immediately felt my scalp tingle.
I hurriedly glanced back at the old prostitute and wanted to ask him if he was what I had thought, but as soon as I turned around, I saw that the old prostitute's face had changed, and she had retreated a few steps away from me, her eyes staring at me.
