"It sounds familiar."

"I'm ashamed to say that I failed to live up to his instructions about Ah You." His face turned red and he shook his head, "Don't say it!" This is a disgrace to my family! ”

Lao Qin didn't understand, but boldly requested, "Little Junwang, I have reached the age of burying my neck in the loess." Dig the grave tomorrow, I'm afraid there will be more than lucky, if I die, please bury me in the ancestral tomb of the Qin family outside the Dongzhi Gate. ”

"What do you say?" The little king closed the book and extinguished the light, "You think I really want to dig a grave?" It's not that there is no other choice, in order to keep the hereditary territory of the king of Dora, so as not to anger the Beiyang government, he got a notice to change the land and return to the stream. My father forced me to study at the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, and no matter how poor I was, I would have to study at the Baoding Military Academy, and I would become a warlord on one side of the separatist side in the future. Actually, I have no interest in this set. I would prefer to go to university, preferably in history. ”

"Everyone has their own life, my son and I are destined to be craftsmen, and Xiaojun Wang, you are destined to be the prince, I never expect Qin Beiyang to become a character, I just hope that he will be safe and healthy, marry a daughter-in-law as soon as possible, and pass on the lineage for the tombsmith family, don't waste your craft."

"Grave Beast's craft?" The little county king had already gotten into the quilt and stabbed Lao Qin, "Hey, can you teach me?" That toad is so powerful, you're sure you can make an even more powerful tomb beast. ”

"No! Don't pass it on! ”

Qin Customs said, turned over and fell asleep.

Nothing happened one night, and the next day dawned. At the foot of Taihang Mountain, by the Dasha River, in the tomb of Quyang Grange, the sappers really dug out the tomb.

The Little Prince, Qin Customs, and Dr. Holstein all approached the entrance of the tomb—narrow on the outside and wide on the inside, with a slope deep underground, both sides and the dome made of blue bricks, and the ground was made of rammed earth layer by layer, which seemed to be unusually solid.

The three of them walked down, heavily armed soldiers guarding the left and right, and horse lanterns illuminated the bright and dazzling murals - a huge guard of honor, all Tang Dynasty figures, black, white, and red paints, wearing hats, beards, and sunken eye sockets, obviously not Han. Round-necked robe, the placket is knotted between the hips, the clothes are fluttering, the feet are black boots, the right side is cross-body, holding axes, knives and forks and other weapons, all of them are tall and big, and the horses are also quite strong.

Qin Customs found a detail, all murals will have a draft line, that is, a draft, and it will be covered up after completion. However, the starting lines of these murals are quite dense, and the white plastered on the two walls is not neat, indicating that the owner of the tomb was buried in a hurry. But no matter who it is, with such a pompous honor guard, it must be a noble big man.

Along the tomb road, I found an aconitum gate, which is the Lingxing Gate, with black paint on the top and red paint on the bottom, just like the instrument door. The sappers fetched heavy tools and it took them more than half a day to open them.

Then a puff of black smoke came out, and Dr. Holstein put on a gas mask and brought two more to Xiaojunwang and Qin Customs, but they were rejected by Xiaojunwang and Qin Customs.

In the dust that flew up and down, the little county king poked in with a flashlight, after all, he was only seventeen years old, and his face was terrified. Lao Qin took the lead in breaking into the underground palace.

It's a flat "courtyard". Hold the torch in, slowly extinguish it first, and wait for the oxygen to come in, and then burn brightly. On the brick walls on the east and west sides, there are two open ticket doors. On the north side is a brick walkway, and when you look inside, you can see that there is a solid tomb door.

The doctor was not only a scientist, but also knew a thing or two about Western archaeology, and immediately took out his camera to record the original appearance of the tomb. He used a ruler to measure the tomb door, which was six meters high, and the door opening was also more than three meters wide.

Qin Customs found a blue brick with an inscription that read, "Rebuilt in March of the ninth year of the reign of the Great Jin Emperor".

Jin Dynasty tombs?

Impossible, the stone statue of this tomb, as well as the murals just now, are clearly in the style of the Tang Dynasty, which can only show that there was a rebuilding in the Jin Dynasty. Since it is a reconstruction, it means that at least this location has been dug - is it an official tomb robbery in the name of reconstruction? Just as they are doing now.

The sapper opened the door of the white marble tomb using the previous method and entered cautiously. It is another corridor with niches on each side. Further on, it was found that the ear chambers on the east and west sides also had white marble gates. At the north end of the corridor is an octagonal antechamber, which is quite unique, and Dr. Holstein hastened to take a photo. On the left and right sides of the front room, four side chambers were symmetrically arranged, piled high with gold and silver treasures, which made the sappers salivate.

King Dora took out his pistol and warned - whoever dares to steal a treasure will be killed. All this belongs to the Beiyang government and is the common wealth of all the people of the Republic of China. Of course, all the meritorious people who dig up the tomb will be rewarded separately, but the cultural relics must not be damaged.

Qin Customs was relieved to see that the bricks under his feet were neat, which were better than those of the Qing Dynasty imperial tombs. For him, the air he breathes on the ground is not free, but he is like a fish in water in the underground palace a thousand years ago. This tomb is of very high standard, there are the central axis of the tomb road, the instrument gate, the courtyard, the corridor, the front room, the back corridor, the back room, the side chamber and the ear chamber are arranged on the left and right, all made of blue bricks, plus the dome, there are as many as 12 burial chambers. The sappers cleaned up a large number of white porcelain, some sauce-glazed porcelain, and even porcelain from Ziding in the Northern Song Dynasty, which was probably brought in during the rebuilding (or tomb robbery) of the Jin Dynasty.

The last one is the white marble tomb door.

In the depths of the dungeon, the little king's hand was trembling.

Lao Qin whispered to him, "If you are afraid, you can retreat now, and we will find other tombs." ”

But at this point, the sappers will not give up, and it is their natural mission to make holes. Under the guidance of Dr. Holstein, they were able to open the door skillfully.

At the end of the dark underground palace, Qin Customs had already felt the energy of Jinjing. The beam of the doctor's flashlight seemed to shine on a huge stone coffin......

The two soldiers went in to check, but as soon as they stepped into the back room, a strange voice came, and Lao Qin immediately shouted: "Hurry up and come out!" ”

It was too late, and with a roar, two human heads flew out, blood spilling on the doctor's face. Everyone ran out in a panic, and Qin Customs was also dragged by the little county king and fled to the front room. Dr. Holstein set up his camera and retreated directly to the "courtyard" outside.

A black shadow came out of the smoke, and Lao Qin didn't have time to escape, so he dodged and hid in the ear room next to him. There are many horse lanterns rolling on the ground, illuminating a beast's head, and a pair of horns on the top, I can't tell what species, like a dragon is not a dragon, like a wolf is not a wolf, but it is by no means a four. Another beast head, the same monster. Qin Customs was surprised, usually there is only one tomb beast in a mausoleum, and it is rare to have a pair of beasts, unless there are two emperors Wu Zetian and Li Zhi lying in the Qianling Tomb. What's even more subversive is that Lao Qin saw the third beast head, and the fourth and fifth beast heads...... There are seven heads in total! Then the whole body was like a huge leopard, with limbs as thick as a black bear, and the mouth of each beast's head was like a lion's bloody mouth.

Qin Customs thought that he was a person who deserved to die a long time ago, and there was nothing to fear, so he poked his head out again to see the real thing-these seven beast-headed monsters did not have a pair of horns on each head, but three of them had double horns, and four of them had single horns.

Seven heads, ten horns.

But there was only one beast, with a small golden crown on each horn, and on each head was carved a strange line of writing — not Chinese characters, nor the Manchu, Mongolian, or Tibetan scripts often found in Qing tombs.

Ten horns and seven tomb beasts.

Qin Customs has given it a name. The beast was so large that it could only curl up and crawl through the corridor, its horns still piercing through the bricks. But it was not clumsy, grabbed a couple of sappers and stabbed them to death with sharp horns. In the wide antechamber, the sappers were held high like hanged ghosts hanging from the treetops.

It let out a deafening roar, as if there had been a small earthquake in the dungeon, and many bricks and tiles on the dome fell to the ground and shattered.

From the distance at the entrance of the tomb, two foreign words faintly floated, which must have been the shouts of Dr. Holstein—
