Chapter 31: Tomb Robbery

In the evening, the temperature in the mountains became cold, and An Yi led her husband and silly brother down the mountain.

She walked in front, and the two men were left behind quietly discussing something, and as soon as she turned around, they stopped talking.

When they got home, they wandered around the yard and hurried in when they were eating.

"An Yi, what are you going to do with the matter of the ancient tomb?" Kai Ming asked suddenly.

An Yi put down the dishes and chopsticks and said: "I just called the local cultural relics bureau, and they said that they would send someone to come over tomorrow to protect the tomb first, and then excavate it after investigation." ”

Kaiming didn't seem to care about this, "Will they give a reward to someone who finds an ancient tomb?"

"Rewards, of course. ”

"How much?"

"Two hundred dollars. ”

Kaiming rolled his eyes, "Damn, no wonder tomb robbing is prevalent now." ”

An Yi saw that he was unwilling, so he said: "I advise you to dispel the dream of making a fortune, and someone will come to protect the scene tomorrow." ”

The mountain village is very quiet after nightfall, there is no TV or computer in the ancestral house to pass the time, An Yi lies on the bed and plays with her mobile phone after taking a shower, and her husband behind her is always tossing and turning.

In the middle of the night, a wild cat burst into the yard and let out a low roar. An Yi woke up from the dream, put her hand to the side, found it empty, looked around, her husband was not in the room.

Maybe he went to the toilet.

She didn't pay attention at first, but after more than ten minutes, she didn't see her husband come back, and the meowing of cats outside the house made people panic.

She put on her clothes and went to the bathroom, which was empty, and pushed open the door next door, but the stupid brother was not inside, and she was the only one left in the whole room.

In the moonlit courtyard, countless pairs of glowing eyes were staring at her, and as soon as they stepped out of the house, they climbed over the two-meter-high fence and disappeared into the night.

"Kaiming, I'm sleepy, go back to sleep. ”

The silly brother rubbed his eyes and watched as Kaiming tied a pine tree a few times with a rope and threw the other end of the rope into a hole in the ground.

"Silly brother, hold on a little longer, and when I go down, you just stay here and control the wind, don't run around. ”

The stupid brother nodded, but he didn't understand why Kaiming didn't sleep at night and had to run to the mountain.

After Kai Ming tugged at the rope to make sure it wouldn't let go of itself, he went to the entrance of the cave and shone a flashlight inside, but he couldn't see the bottom at all, and the dried corpse was still inside.

He was a little scared, so he took a deep breath, "For the days of worry-free food and clothing, I fought hard." ”

The silly brother saw him with a flashlight in his mouth and climbed down the rope into the hole.

The thief's hole was narrow, and when he passed by the dried corpse, he was almost face to face with it, his withered face making him want to vomit, and his eyes that didn't turn were staring at him.

Its mouth suddenly opened, expanding to an exaggerated degree, and a fluffy mass emerged from its mouth.

Kaiming screamed in fright, and as soon as he let go of his hand, the whole person fell into a deep hole.

A flashlight illuminates the path up the mountain, and the occasional beast cry comes from the dark forest, which makes people tremble.

An Yi quickened his pace, and after passing through the dense forest, he saw a person lying next to the entrance of the thief cave.

"Silly brother, wake up. ”

She shook hard, and the silly brother finally woke up in a daze.

"Where's Kaiming?"

"He fell. The stupid brother pointed to the thief hole and said.

An Yi called into the cave twice, but there was no response, and when he shone it with a flashlight, he saw only a dried corpse with a wide mouth.

She suddenly noticed that the dried corpse had a pair of reflective eyes in its mouth, and as soon as the flashlight shone, a black cat burst out of its mouth and jumped nimbly onto the hole.

The cat bared its fangs in the aperture and let out a terrible low roar, An Yi quickly took a few steps back, but fortunately it did not attack and ran into the grass.

There was a loud sound from the cave, like the sound of a boulder falling to the ground, and because she was worried about her husband's safety, An Yi also grabbed the rope and climbed into the hole.

She carefully dodged the dried corpse and descended down the narrow wall of the cave, about ten meters or so into the ground, and the surrounding area became open, and her feet finally landed on the soft earth at the bottom of the cave.

The flashlight shone around, and saw a passage cut into stone in the cave, and at the end of the passage was the entrance to a tomb half a height higher than a person, and the stone door had fallen to the ground, weighing more than fifty tons.

An Yi squatted down and looked, there was no sign of the stone gate being blasted, how was it opened?

When she saw the paw prints left on the stone door, she finally understood that it was the metal alien who did it, and only it could push open the heavy stone door.

In the burial chamber there are exquisite clay vases, clay bowls, and all kinds of funerary goods.

They're all antiques, so they should be worth a lot of money, right?

No matter how much Kaiming has, he sees something exquisite in his arms, and soon he is full of hugs.

He found that the burial chamber was very large, and the light of the flashlight could not reach the edge, and as he walked, a pool of water blocked the way, and it was full of black liquid.

"Damn, a well-known tyrant, if he dies, he will build a swimming pool in the tomb for his enjoyment. ”

When he found his way, he saw a small bridge that reached the center of the pool, and there was a small altar with a bronze sword about six inches long, and the blade of the sword shining with a flashlight shining brightly.

The appearance of the sword made the things in his hand instantly compared, "Haha, with this sword, you don't have to do it for the rest of your life." ”

Cumming dropped all his belongings, crossed the bridge, and headed straight for the sword, which was stuck in the stone crevice of the altar, and although a thousand years had passed, the blade was still extremely sharp. He reached for it, but the sword was firmly inserted.

"I don't believe I can't pull it out. ”

He gritted his teeth and tugged his hands back, and when he heard a clang, the sword broke away from the crack in the stone, and the friction caused sparks.

It was this little spark that ignited the black liquid in the pool, and the raging fire surrounded the altar, and at the same time reflected the dull face of Kaiming.

A pair of hands rested on his shoulders from behind, and he was startled, and looked back to see a woman with a sweaty face.

"Anyi. ”

"You're in trouble again. ”

Kaiming followed her to the small bridge and watched as the entire pool burned, the fire stretching out along the liquid-filled pit and illuminating the gymnasium-sized burial chamber.

Rows of soldiers gradually became more and more dissolved, holding long and short swords in their hands, lined up in a neat formation, guarding the two sarcophagi in the central area.

"We are surrounded. Kai Ming raised the sword in his hand as a guard, "An Yi quickly hide behind me, don't look at my weak appearance, it's definitely not a problem to fight ten at a time." ”

An Yi smiled, "Don't make trouble, a blind person can also see that they are terracotta warriors." ”

"Haha, just kidding. Kaiming lowered the sword in his hand, "Then again, these figurines are very realistic. ”

The two walked through the procession of figurines and found that they were in different states, carved according to the appearance of real people.

After careful observation, An Yi made an even more surprising discovery, "Each figurine contains a person. ”

Kemin roughly counted, "There are hundreds." ”

"They were all strong soldiers, and they were all young when they were buried. An Yizheng was saying when she saw her husband stretching out his hand to a figurine, "Stop, don't touch it." ”

It was too late, and as soon as Kaiming touched it, the figurine's arm fell off the ground and shattered.

He hurriedly explained to his wife: "I didn't mean to, who knew they were so fragile." ”

"The figurines were not fired, but they were poured with wet earth and exposed to the sun until the water in the figurines had completely evaporated. ”

Kai Ming said: "In other words, they were made into dried corpses alive, and they were miserable, and the king was indeed a tyrant." ”

"They are voluntary. An Yi said, "The process of exposure to the sun is long, and it has to endure physical and mental suffering, and it is necessary to maintain a posture, which can only be done by the dead." ”

Kai Ming looked around at the figurines, "Hehe, standing with hundreds of fools, I feel that my IQ has improved a lot." After some self-absorption, he found that his wife had gone away, "An Yi, wait, is my behavior just now considered the destruction of national cultural relics? Do I want to go to jail? No, you reason with them, I don't want the maximum bonus of 200 yuan......

After passing through the army of figurines, the two came to two sarcophagi, on which there were dragon and phoenix reliefs, as well as words.

Kai Ming couldn't read the hieroglyphs, but he knew that the one buried in the dragon coffin was the king of Xu, who was in the phoenix coffin?

"Sudaji. An Yi said.

The infamous emperor and concubine in history were buried together when they died, which is really a match made in heaven. But Kaiming is more concerned about "There must be a rare treasure hidden in the sarcophagus." ”

He was about to push the lid open when his wife stopped him, "Are you crazy? The contents have been sealed for thousands of years, and if you open it rashly, it will oxidize quickly, and there may be deadly bacteria inside." ”

Since you can't open the coffin, it's always okay to find something else.

His hand restlessly stretched out to a jewel set in the phoenix coffin, the bead was the size of a bull's eye, and it glowed slightly green in the dimness, and it must be the pearl of the night.

He quietly took it in his hand and was about to stuff it into his pocket, but his wife noticed it.

She looked at her husband with a serious face, and he had no choice but to honestly put the beads back in place.

It's a pity that it was too late, the mechanism of the phoenix coffin ticked and ticked, and the stone lid slowly moved to the side, and with a muffled bang, the lid fell to the ground.

The sarcophagus was filled with a black liquid, just like the liquid burning in the pool.

The couple looked at each other silently, then both pointed their flashlights at the sarcophagus, and under the strong light, they saw a female carrion lying under the water.

The female corpse was dressed in silk, with an agate necklace around her neck, her hands and feet were dry and brown, and her long hair floated in the water.

Kai Ming took a look at the corpse's face, shook his head and said, "I don't know how many men have been fascinated by this face, and now it can only turn into a skeleton." ”

As soon as the words fell, the female corpse opened her eyes, and he sat down on the ground in fright.

An Yi hurriedly came over to help him, "What's wrong?"

He stretched out his trembling hand, pointed to the sarcophagus, and said, "I saw the corpse open its eyes." ”

An Yi observed in front of the sarcophagus for a while, but found nothing unusual, she turned back to her husband and said, "You must be dazzled and wrong." ”

Kaiming's eyes widened, "No, she's right behind you." ”
