Chapter VII: Signs
The four men dragged their equipment to the end of the hole, and found that the dark red wall had been smashed out by the old peasant with a large hole, just enough for one person. The old peasant threw his heavy duffel bag through the hole into the tomb, and with a bang, he could feel that it was not deep underneath. Feng Laonong put his head into the hole, lit the flashlight for a long time, and then jumped into the hole first. Then the three of us jumped in.
When I entered the tomb, I found that the layout here is similar to the prefect's tomb, and it is also a tomb road that cannot see the end at a glance, but the width is only more than one meter, just enough to accommodate two people walking side by side, but the height is only about two meters, and you can touch the top of the tomb with your feet. The hole we blew up was only about half a meter above the ground. The walls of the tomb were dark red, and there was a fishy smell. This fishy smell is bearable when you're outside. But when I came to the tomb, the whole person was surrounded by a fishy smell, and I couldn't help but feel a burst of gagging.
I put down my backpack, took out the mask and wind oil essence that had been given to me, poured the wind oil essence, and then put on the mask. Not to mention, the old farmer's pig's head can invent such a good thing. After I put it on, I couldn't feel the fishy smell, but the smell of wind oil essence made me energetic. The three of them saw me do this, and each of them put on their own masks.
Then the old farmer made a decision to go on the left first. So everyone took out their weapons for self-defense, and the old farmer and Wu Feifei walked in front. Yang and I were about a meter away from them, and we followed behind. All four flashlights were turned on so that the contents of the tomb could be seen.
Cautiously walked ten meters away, and there was a turning place. After turning the corner, I walked forward about twenty meters and a fork in the road appeared. The old farmer hesitated whether to go straight or take the fork in the road. At this time, Wu Feifei found a mark similar to the English letter L on the wall of the fork in the road. Judging by the shape of the mark, it looks like it was artificially engraved. Because the length of the inscription is uneven, and the depth is different.
The old farmer looked at the mark and wondered, "Could it be that this bucket has also been taken first?" "
Yang Kexing said: "It's impossible, maybe when the tomb was repaired, this brick was originally flawed?" "
Feng Laonong pondered for a while and decided to go from the fork. Before leaving, he took out the dagger hanging from his waist and carved a mark of 1 next to the L mark. After carving the mark, they still led the way and walked ahead. I didn't go far, and there were several more turns in quick succession. More than a hundred paces away from the L mark, another fork in the road appeared. The old farmer saw the fork in the road. muttered impatiently: "Damn, I'm in the maze, it's all my mother's fork in the road"
After scolding my mother, I turned on the flashlight and found an A mark on the wall. And this A mark is definitely not a flaw in the brick, and the neat English letters are impressively engraved on the wall. The old farmer said: "It's over, it's like the prefect's tomb again, there is no weapon for a long time", and after finishing speaking, he carved a 2 next to the mark of A.
After carving, the old farmer thought for a while and said, "Let's not talk about whether this was carved by the owner of the tomb when he repaired the tomb, or whether he came to carve it later." This mark has A and L, and the depth of the carving is different, one neat and one scribbled, certainly not carved by one person, or represents different roads, can reach different destinations, we still go straight and observe again? "
After saying that, he walked straight forward, and sure enough, he found an A mark at another fork in the road twenty meters away. The old farmer looked at it and carved a mark of 3 on the fork in the road. Then he continued to walk forward, and after walking a distance of about twenty meters, he came to a corner. The L mark on the wall at this corner is prominently visible. The old farmer stretched out his hand and carved a 4 next to L. Walked forward again.
This time, after walking about 200 steps, there was a fork in the road, and the L mark still existed, and the old farmer carved the mark of 5 and decided to turn around and move forward along the L mark. After walking more than a dozen steps, there were two forks in the road, one wall was engraved with L, and the other wall was engraved with AL two marks, and the old farmer carved 6 and 7 respectively, and walked along the AL6 mark. After more than 200 steps, a tomb road appeared in front of me. The old farmer stretched out his head to take a look, but he scolded: "Damn, it's back!" "
I looked out and saw that the A3 mark on the wall was very glaring. "Go back the way you came! Take a look at L7! The old farmer gave an order.
Soon at the place marked by L7, the old farmer stretched out his head and walked in. At this time, I found that this is a small room-like layout. The size is about 20 square meters, and there is a fork around the room. In the center of the small burial chamber was a stone coffin.
The old peasant shouted, "Damn, see the coffin and make a fortune!" After shouting, he excitedly threw down the heavy equipment on his body. Seeing this, the three of me also put down their luggage. Yang Kexing took out a few candles and lit them on the wall to make the whole tomb brighter.
Yang Kexing said: "This labyrinth-like layout is not so simple, put the coffin in this position? "
Feng Lao Nong said: "That's our luck!" Didn't you see that the coffin was still intact? Even if someone has been here before, no one has touched this coffin, right? Little brother, you can see it, we have to make a fortune with this vote! "
After speaking, he lay on the stone coffin and studied it. I saw that the stone coffin was dark green, mixed with black lines. It is twice as wide as the coffin used by ordinary rural people, and the length is about three meters. The lower part of the coffin seems to be buried deep in the tomb bricks, while the upper part is made of the same material with a large number of carved coffin lids. The lid of the coffin and the coffin were clenched together, and the old peasant tried it, but even the dagger could not be inserted into the gap between them.
At this time, Yang Kexing said: "This is southern jade, also known as black jade." After hearing this, the old farmer looked at Yang Kexing in surprise: "Jade? Isn't that worth the money? I'm obedient, how much does it cost to make a coffin for such a big piece of Kodama? "
"It's not worth much, this kind of stone is said to be jade, but in fact it is just a stone. In Zhengzhou, many hotels and houses are decorated with this material," Yang said.
"Oh, it's not worth much, don't feel distressed, come buddy, get out there and see what's inside" Feng Laonong said as he vigorously carried the pattern on the coffin lid with both hands. The moment the old farmer moved the coffin lid, I suddenly remembered the scene of the death of the monk and the triangular eye that the old farmer had talked about. Hurriedly stopped the old farmer, and told him what he remembered.
The old farmer touched his head and said, "Damn, the ghost is so confused that I forgot about this serious matter." Then he said, "That's easy to do, anyway, this broken stone coffin is worthless, and I smashed it from below for his mother."
After saying that, he took out a sledgehammer from his backpack and asked the three of us to lean over and shine a flashlight on him. He picked up the sledgehammer and smashed it down to the bottom of the coffin. With a thud, the coffin shattered. The old farmer hurriedly flashed to the side, and saw that there was no hidden weapon shooting out of it, so he looked down into the coffin.
