Chapter 65: The Human Face

face

Looking around the strange tomb I was in, even the fat man, who had always cared about nothing, began to be afraid, and the fat man asked me, "What kind of place is this, Lao Hu?" ”

I glanced at him and said, "You ask me, I ask who to go." I remember clearly, we jumped from the thief hole in the middle of the ancient tomb temple, it should be a shaft that is not too high, connected to the inclined thief hole below, how did we get here? ”

The big gold tooth pouted and said: "Is there anything wrong with that, there is such a thief hole on the ground of the Hades Temple, it is in the middle of the void, and next to it should be the coffin of the tomb owner, we have turned around three times in the Hades Temple, in addition to the robbery hole, where are there other passages on the ground." This is ...... It's really a ghost hitting the wall. ”

I waved my hand at the two of them, it's useless to be suspicious now, and this is by no means as simple as a ghost wall, the stone coffin of the Western Zhou Dynasty appeared in the underworld of the ancient tomb of the Tang Dynasty, could it be that the tomb we are in now is also from the Western Zhou Dynasty? Looking at the petroglyphs on the wall of the tomb, there are some strange expressions of human faces, this narrow burial chamber, or the tomb or something, must have a certain connection with the human face stone coffin in the underworld.

After we entered the Tang Tomb Temple, in order to save energy, there were three flashlights, only one of the big gold teeth was turned on, at this time the big gold teeth handed the flashlight to me, I lit a candle in the same place, and turned on the flashlight to observe the nearby environment.

We should be in a cemetery, both sides of the tomb painted with red ancient rock paintings, the color of the strokes of those pictures, red like blood, bright as new, if this tomb is in the Western Zhou Dynasty, even if it is well preserved, it is impossible to achieve this effect, these petroglyphs are only one or two hundred years old at most.

Not only the petroglyphs, but also the rocks that made up the tomb road, there are no traces of age, and although it does not look like it has just been completed, it is by no means the same as it was built thousands of years ago, and there are gray stone stubbles exposed in some places.

The tomb road is about several meters wide, its two ends are straight to extend down, there is no end in sight, the tomb bricks are huge rocks, simple and dignified, not as luxurious and exquisite as the Tang tomb, but there is another thick and calm king's atmosphere.

Knowing that I was familiar with the layout of the tombs, the Great Golden Tooth asked me for the details of this tomb.

I shook my head and said to the big gold tooth: "I'm still not sure, if the stone coffin we found in the underworld hall is indeed an antiquity of the Western Zhou Dynasty as you said, then this tomb road is also very likely to be matched with the stone coffin Jackie Chan, all of which are things from the Western Zhou Dynasty, especially the patterns painted on the tomb wall, which are similar to the stone coffin." ”

The fat man said: "I bet, it's definitely the same thing, ***, that big face, you can remember it for a lifetime at a glance, that seems to be smiling but not smiling, indifferent and weird expression, it's just a mold pulled out." ”

I said to the fat man: "Little fatty, what you said makes sense, but you don't look carefully, the stone coffin we saw in the temple of the underworld, there are five stone carved human faces on it, and the expressions are the same. ”

The petroglyphs on the tomb wall show a slightly distorted human face, not all of them are like the stone coffin in the underworld, the five faces on the stone coffin are expressionless, revealing a trace of grotesqueness in indifference, and each human face on the tomb wall is slightly different, there are joy, sorrow, sadness, anger, shock, sadness, but no matter which expression, it is different from normal people.

The fat man took advantage of the light of the candle to look at some of the faces on the tomb wall, and said to me and the big golden tooth: "Old Hu, I take a closer look, and I think that these faces are so wrong, no matter what the expressions are, they are ...... How to say it, I know in my heart that something is wrong, but I can't describe it, the expressions on these faces are so ...... So ......"

I also saw the strangeness of those faces, and when I saw that the fat man couldn't hold it back, I said it for him: "It's all so fake, it seems insincere, whether it's happy or angry, it's all fucking fake, as if it's pretended, not born from the heart." ”

As soon as I said this, the big gold tooth and the fat man agreed, and the fat man said: "That's right, it's fake, Lao Hu is still your eye poison, in fact, I can see it, but there are too many words in my stomach, and I got stuck, and I didn't think about it for a while." ”

The big golden tooth said: "It's really like this, the smile is full of treachery, the anger is full of mockery, we who do business usually bargain with customers, we have to pretend to be sincere, pretend to be heartfelt, I think our expression at that time is fake enough, but compared with the human face painted on the wall of this tomb, it is simply a small thing, and the fake appearance revealed in this expression is fake...... Base...... It's not something that humans can do. ”

The last words of the big gold tooth made me feel a chill in my heart, and I looked at the faces on the murals, and said to the fat man and the big gold tooth: "I also feel this way, I can't think of it, what kind of person's expression would be so strange?" There is no such face in the singing scene, I think the situation we are facing now has a certain relationship with these faces, but ...... What do these faces symbolize? ”

Although I often advertise myself as an authentic captain who touches the gold, I only do this aspect of looking at feng shui to find the dragon vein and find the treasure hall, followed by learning from the "Sixteen Characters Yin and Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique", and I am very familiar with the layout of the tombs of the past dynasties, but when it comes to some cultural factors, historical background, and cultural relics identification, they are all half-understood, even if they are half-understood, most of them are guessed by their own speculation, and there is no foundation.

I don't know anything about these giant face coffins and the many strange expressions of human face petroglyphs on the tomb wall, except for some intuitive feelings, and I am far inferior to the big gold tooth in this regard, although he is not a professional archaeologist, at least he has many years of experience in the world of antiques.

I said to the big gold tooth and the fat man: "Little fatty, Jin Ye, I see that there are a lot of unbelievable things in this ancient tomb, we are not going to go around like this, if we break in like this, maybe we will encounter something abnormal, now we must think of some countermeasures." ”

The fat man asked, "Lao Hu, do you have any way?" If you have it, say it quickly, don't sell officials, I won't hide it from you, I'm really scared now. ”

I know that the fat man is not a person who speaks lightly, and he wants to say the word fear, because we are now facing a situation where there is no way to start, although life is not threatened, but the nerves are about to collapse. So I said to the fat man: "I haven't thought of any way at the moment, the premise of finding out how to deal with it depends on us first figuring out what is going on, now it's like fighting on the battlefield, we have been ambushed, I am open and dark, only passively beaten, there is no room to fight back." Because we don't know what kind of situation we're facing. ”

The fat man said helplessly: "Now the three of us, like three little mice in the hands of others, are at the mercy of others and are dizzy, but we still don't know what's going on, next time I don't bring weapons and explosives, I will never enter the ancient tomb again." ”

I smiled wryly, "If only we could talk about it next time." I asked the big gold tooth again: "Master Jin, I think that although we are in a strange environment now, there is no danger to our lives for the time being, as long as we sort out our clues, it is not a problem to escape." After all, you haven't been in vain for so many years, you can see that the human-faced stone coffin is a thing of the Western Zhou Dynasty, can you tell me more specifically, let's analyze and analyze, maybe we can come up with some way. ”

The big gold tooth is not as nervous as the fat man at this time, he is different from the fat man, the fat man is not afraid of wolves, insects, tigers, leopards, zongzi zombies, only afraid of those things that do not focus on it, to put it simply, he is afraid of using his brain, the big gold tooth is most afraid of that direct threat, although a lot of things from the Western Zhou Dynasty appeared out of thin air in the ancient tombs of the Tang Dynasty, but they are very strange and tight, and they are not very fatal, or they can be said to be...... It's not an immediate death, so although the big gold tooth is also nervous and scared, it can still cope with this mental pressure for the time being.

At this time, the big golden tooth listened to my question, thought about it for a while, and said to me: "Hu Ye, you also know, we are in Beijing upside down things, ordinary is the Ming and Qing dynasties, and then before, the value is high, are private transactions, do not dare to get the antique market to change hands, to the Tang and Song Dynasty Ming vessels, in our industry, it is already the best, and then to the Tang and Song Dynasty before the ancestral objects, basically can be said to be a national treasure, buy and sell are to turn around, I have been doing this line for so long, The oldest ones are only a few small pieces from the Tang Dynasty. ”

I saw that the big gold tooth was said something that was not needed, so I asked again: "So you can't eat that human-faced stone coffin is something from the Western Zhou Dynasty?" ”

The big gold tooth said: "Of course I haven't dealt with such an ancient artifact, this kind of Western Zhou stone coffin, if you want to say that it is valuable, it can be said that it is priceless, the problem is that no one dares to buy, if it is sold to foreigners, we are accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason, so for us it is actually worthless, although I have not poured the things of the Western Zhou Dynasty, but sometimes for the sake of long knowledge, long eyesight, I often read books in this area, and always go to visit museums to improve business ability, for these antiquities, I am also half an expert, This stone coffin is something of the Western Zhou Dynasty, which I will not look away, about this I can make a guarantee, with the human face as the decoration of the utensils, in the Yin Shang period was once very prosperous, many important ritual vessels, will see the carving of the human face. ”

I wondered: "Didn't you just say that the human-faced stone coffin is from the Western Zhou Dynasty, if I remember correctly, Yin Shang should be before the Western Zhou Dynasty, is this stone coffin from the Western Zhou Dynasty or Yin Shang?" ”

The big gold tooth said: "My lord, you listened to me finish speaking, this kind of decoration, flourished in Yin Shang, until the Three Kingdoms period is still used on some important occasions, but the times are different, its characteristics are also different, the stone coffin we see, there is a characteristic, do you know what the characteristics are?" ”
