Chapter Forty-Eight: Death with a Smile
was suddenly stopped by Ge Lao, and I couldn't move forward, so I had to stop.
Ge Lao looked at the corpse and said: "I saw the corpse in the tomb, I want to study it, know myself and know that the other side will not be defeated in a hundred battles, and if I understand why they died, I can avoid dying once, and when I go to the tomb, people don't avoid the corpse, remember." ”
I nodded, and Ge Lao's words were reasonable, so I turned around and looked at the corpse carefully.
Ge Lao let go of the hand holding me, I suddenly felt that the strength of Ge Lao's hand was really not small, and actually scratched me directly, after letting go of my arm, Ge Lao took out a simple gas mask, with two calf noses on both sides, and could not protect the glasses.
After taking out the mask, Ge Lao put on gloves and squatted down and turned over the corpse up and down, looking at the appearance of the corpse, there was no wound outside, and there was no blood on the ground, it should not be injured by crossbow arrows or other cold weapons, I took a closer look at the face of the corpse, there were some black marks on it, and at first my attention was attracted by those maggots, but I didn't pay attention to this.
"Poisoned." Ge Lao said affirmatively.
The deceased's face was so decomposed that it was impossible to discern its size, but black blood spots could be clearly seen in the area of the eyes.
"Everyone be careful, the contents may be highly poisonous, don't touch things, and don't stuff anything into your mouth, ah, peel, light the probe lamp." Ge Lao stood up, first finished speaking to us, and then looked at Yang Pi and said.
Yang Pi nodded, took out a pale yellow lantern from his backpack, then took out a red candle, put it in and lit it, to my surprise, after the candle was lit, the light that came out was actually white, pure white......
Continue to walk forward for more than ten meters, one left and one right at the same time two dark red doors, the door carved two dragon heads, the big mouth opened violently, looking like they were about to swallow people.
This should be two ear chambers, the door on the left opened as soon as we pushed, we went directly, the inside is not big, about fifty square meters, just at the door, there are seven or eight skeletons, scattered on the ground, as if people or other animals have been tossed, there are a few thigh bones that have been directly stepped on.
I looked at Li Xiang, and Li Xiang hurriedly explained: "It has nothing to do with us, this was the case when we came, and there is nothing valuable, these are all maids and slaves who accompany the funeral, and there is not even a coffin." ”
I looked around again, and indeed as Li Xiang said, there were some calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls around them, if they could be preserved at the time, they could be sold for a lot of money at this time in modern times, but most of them on the walls were rotten, and even a few of them fell directly from the middle and fell to the ground in half?
Under the corner of the wall, there are a few clay porcelains, but they are all rotten, none of them are intact, and they are not worth anything at all.
"It's a good thing, I don't know how to protect it, it's bad." The fat man looked at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall and said.
"If there was really something valuable in this, we wouldn't have brought this gold and bronze god out at that time, we couldn't open the main tomb, and the valuable things outside would be this." Li Xiang also said.
The human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant, and the greedy desire is sometimes a catalyst for productivity, and sometimes it is also a deadly poison.
"I just came in, how can there be good things, inside the ancient tomb, the treasures are basically hidden in the coffin of the main tomb, and the ear chamber outside is all hidden, it would be good to have a whole corpse, not to mention the burial goods, what value can they have in their hands." I looked at a landscape painting that was still half left and said, I just know a fur about this thing, and I can see the truth and falsehood with my eyesight, but I can't figure out how it is worth money, what artistic value it is, etc.
There was no research value here, so we walked out and came to another ear chamber, which was bigger than just now, about a hundred square meters, and the walls around it were full of murals, but it was empty and empty.
I walked in and took a look, and there was a layer of gray on the mural, but the colors looked so bright that I didn't dare touch it because of the dead man in front of me.
"It would be nice if this mural could be buckled, so that Oriental devils like to collect it, but it's too heavy and not easy to take out." The fat man walked around the mural, and I doubted that this thing could tie everything to money.
The content on the mural probably tells the life of the tomb owner, but I can vaguely see a rough idea, and the words on it are covered with dust and cannot be read clearly.
Out of the door of the ear chamber here, we walked forward for a distance, and came to a fork, it seems that it should be a side hall, there should be good things inside, but in the tomb it is taboo to act separately, unless it is absolutely necessary, otherwise it will not be separated.
Looking at these three forks, I was also a little difficult, so I looked at Li Xiang, after all, he had been here, I think they should have only chosen one path at that time.
"The middle one we walked at the time, the two sides haven't been seen in the past, that is, when they got the gold and bronze gods to come out, a few guys began to feel unwell, three died successively, the first three to die, when they died, it was too weird, there were no scars on their bodies, although they knew that they should be poisoned, but they didn't want to be the one just now, when they died, they died with a smile, without any painful expression on their faces, under this cemetery, I was also the first time I saw someone smiling and dying, and I was also scared, We couldn't get into the main tomb, so I ran outside with them, but in the end, it was only me and Lao Mu, Lao Mu's death, it was an accident, but I felt that it was too much of a coincidence, too much of a coincidence...... If it weren't for the old man on the road, I would have died that day. Li Xiang looked at the three forks in the road, and seemed to recall the scene at that time, and said with a pale face, it seems that he was indeed frightened at that time.
"Laughing to death? The ghost is on the body, and you are so evil by you, I think it should be poisoned. The fat man said disappreciatively.
Speaking unintentionally, the listener is intentional, I am quite curious about what the old man Li Xiang said is like, he can save Li Xiang from death, and he can also invite the gold and bronze god who touched it out again, it is not simple, but now is not the time to ask those, since they took this road at the time, then it also proves that the road of the main tomb is this, for the other two side halls, I have no interest, after all, the purpose of this tomb, one is for Li Xiang's list, and the other is that I also want to know about this tomb in the tomb, Whose tomb is it below, but to be honest, even if the entrance to the tomb in that tomb is opened, if it is ordinary, although the overall strength of our people is not strong, it is not weak, but we can explore it, and if it is really a tomb of the level of the imperial tomb, we must ask for some foreign assistance......
