Chapter 0010: The sarcophagus in the tomb
"Lao Xu, what you said about 'ten rooms and nine emptiness of the Han Tomb' is true?" Hearing Xu Yi say it again, Xu Shu seemed to understand that what Xu Yi said to the villagers was not a lie. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Of course it's true, Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms set up a captain to touch the gold, specializing in stealing and digging tombs to raise military expenses, the Han tomb was almost stolen, and this tomb was not spared, the first time it was done by the captain of the touching gold, and there were several times later." Xu Yi had already hung the rope and said to Xu Shu.
"What the female ghost said is true, Lao Xu, you are also a native master?" Xu Shu asked with a smile.
Xu Yi stared at Xu Shu and did not answer.
The father and son pinned the lamp to their waists and climbed the rope to poke down.
In the narrow hole, the smell of earth is strong, and after a while, you will reach the green brick part, which is arched and quite stressed, even if it explodes a little, it does not collapse.
After resting on the dome and adjusting his breath, Xu Shu continued to climb down with Xu Yi. Xu Shu has been practicing with Xu Yi since he was a child, and he still has this physical strength, and after climbing a few meters down, he has already stepped on the ground.
The candle flame was not far away, so I had to take out the only flashlight, the flashlight lit, and a circle of light appeared in the tomb.
The tomb is an independent single chamber, square, the dome is covered with buckets, and the tomb wall is painted with patterns, but unfortunately the age is very old, and the ancient tomb has been excavated several times, and it has long been in contact with the outside air, and has become mottled and difficult to identify, and the content and scene painted have become blurred as in that era.
Looking around in the tomb, judging from the murals, the level of this tomb should not be low, but unfortunately there is no burial goods in the tomb for a long time.
"Old Xu, there is a treasure here?" Xu Shu was disappointed, there was not even a single tile left in such a large tomb.
Xu Yi continued to inspect the tomb, and he didn't seem to believe that it was impossible to leave one or two treasures in the tomb.
"Lao Xu, why is there no coffin?" Xu Shu also looked around for a long time, but not only did he not leave any fragments of the funeral goods, but he didn't even leave a coffin.
Xu Yi frowned after hearing this: "Yes, the coffin of the tomb owner is usually placed in the center of the tomb. ”
The father and son suddenly wanted to find the master, but they didn't know that they were standing in the center of the ancient tomb, so the lamp of the father and son moved down, looked down, and couldn't help but gasp.
"Old Xu, the coffin is at your feet." Xu Shu screamed, jumped into the coffin, and jumped off the coffin.
Both father and son jumped off the coffin, except for the coffin in front of them, none of the rest of the tomb remained, and the owner of the tomb at this time was also a family with four walls.
Two lamps are raised, close to the coffin to watch, at the same time a round beam of light also shines on the coffin, the coffin is made of stone, the sarcophagus lid and the side of the body have typical Han Dynasty style stone carvings, with a little text, the content of the stone carvings is roughly children playing, around a little boy as the protagonist of the stone carvings.
"Lao Xu, could it be that this sarcophagus contains a child?" The picture is easy to understand, Xu Shu understands, and asks Xu Yi to say.
Xu Yi frowned and did not answer, but circled around the sarcophagus, the content expressed by the stone carving is the life of a teenager, mainly playing.
Xu Shu looked around with the help of the dim candlelight, there was nothing in the tomb, not even a ghost, so Xu Shu was puzzled, and the spirit banner clearly pointed out that Zhang Ling'er's soul was underground, and this underground was this tomb, but there was no Zhang Ling'er's soul in the tomb.
Xu Shu, who was puzzled, stared back at the sarcophagus, and now the place where he could hide was the sarcophagus.
"Lao Xu, let's open the sarcophagus!" Xu Shu inspected the dense sarcophagus, which had obviously been stolen several times, but no one had opened the sarcophagus, or the sarcophagus could not be opened.
Xu Yi looked at the stone carvings on the sarcophagus, straightened up and said to Xu Shu: "It's a child here, anyway, we are not tomb robbers, so it's okay if you don't open it." ”
"Lao Xu, we are not Tufuzi, we are Taoist priests, and we are only here to bring back Zhang Ling'er's soul." Xu Shu seemed to understand better than Xu Yi, and immediately reminded.
Xu Yi was stunned for a moment, and as soon as he entered the tomb, he almost forgot about the business of this trip.
"There is no one in the tomb, I guess it's right here, and it's okay to open it." Xu Yi agreed with Xu Shu's idea.
Xu Shu heard that Xu Yi agreed to open the sarcophagus, so he said to Xu Yi: "Old Xu, I'll go up and get the tools down." ”
The sarcophagus is heavy, and it is estimated that there are mechanisms, and hard pushing cannot push the sarcophagus, and there must be tools to pry it open.
Xu Yi shook his head and said, "No need, you can open it." ”
"Okay?" Xu Shu was stunned for a moment, but in the end he still believed in Xu Yi and stood aside to listen to the instructions.
Xu Yi stood on the side of the sarcophagus, a few footprints on the coffin cover, stepped on some dust, Xu Yi raised his hand to stroke away the rest of the dust, and a very vivid stone carving Taiji diagram appeared on the coffin lid of the sarcophagus, the black fish was polished smooth, and the earth brown was carved down without polishing.
The earthy brown part of the Taiji diagram should have been white before, and the original color of the carved stone was only dyed with the color of the soil by falling dust.
Xu Shu got closer, and there was no reason why Taijitu was not recognized as a Taoist, so he said to Xu Yi: "Old Xu, it's a Taijitu." ”
Xu Yi smiled again without answering, cleaned up the dust on the Taiji diagram, pressed his hands on the two fish respectively, pressed down lightly, and then moved his hands at the same time.
"Ahh
Xu Shu looked at Xu Yi in surprise, and then couldn't help asking, "Old Xu, are you really a native master?" ”
"You believe the nonsense." Xu Yi glared at Xu Shu, and then said, "Stand by my side and make a move when you see something unusual." ”
Then Xu Shu followed Xu Yi to the end of the sarcophagus, which should be the head of the sarcophagus, Xu Yi raised his hands and pressed on the sarcophagus lid, and did not push forward with too much force, the seemingly heavy coffin lid moved forward easily and steadily, and the sarcophagus just revealed a gap, and suddenly a soul burst out of the sarcophagus.
Xu Shu had already prepared, spread out Zhang Ling'er's clothes and covered them, and then quickly put away the clothes and put them back in the cloth bag.
"Lao Xu, it's done." Xu Shu's series of movements did not look like a child who was only eight years old at all, and he was as sophisticated as a ghost hunter.
The lid of the coffin slid towards the end of the coffin with a great trajectory, until it could no longer balance on the sarcophagus and fell directly to the ground.
"Old Xu, what's in the sarcophagus?" Xu Shu didn't dare to approach the sarcophagus, fearing that there were bones in it that made him sick.
Xu Yi looked at Xu Shu, as a Taoist priest, how could he be afraid of what might appear in the coffin, so he smiled and said, "Come and see for yourself." ”
Xu Shu hesitated, but still approached the sarcophagus, picked up the lamp and looked into the sarcophagus, there was nothing disgusting and terrifying in the sarcophagus, only some rags, old and rotten, and it was so rotten that it was impossible to bear it.
"It's been so long, and the bones are all rotting." Xu Yi used his flashlight to shine the tattered clothes in the sarcophagus and said to Xu Shu.
Looking at the clothes in the sarcophagus, it was sure that it was a child's clothes, and judging from the style and color, it should be gorgeous clothes.
Surprisingly, Xu Yi's father and son couldn't see any funeral goods in the sarcophagus, and even the clothes were worn by the deceased when they were buried.
"Lao Xu, there's nothing here, anyway, Zhang Ling'er's soul has been found, let's go!" Xu Shu felt quite bored, and thought that the tomb was fun, and there were many treasures, but unexpectedly, there was not even a single tile here, only a sarcophagus and some rags in the sarcophagus, a little disappointed.
"Don't worry, there's a treasure here." Just as Xu Shu was about to leave, Xu Yi suddenly said to Xu Shu again, stopping his steps.
"Where? What baby? As soon as he heard this, Xu Shu came to the spirit, and he didn't think that he also loved money at such a young age.
When Xu Shu approached the sarcophagus again and looked inside, there was movement under the tattered clothes at this time, as if a mouse was hiding underneath and crawling inside.
Xu Shu approached the sarcophagus, and at this time he felt the sword-shaped pendant hanging around his neck on his chest faintly hot, this feeling was very strange, Xu Shu didn't know why.
