Chapter 27: The Twelve Crests

Got up from the ground, the whole tomb was in a mess, I tore off the corner of my clothes to bandage the wound of the palace jue, the three of us looked at each other and smiled, there was a kind of paralysis for the rest of my life, I really didn't expect the palace jue to carry three grenades to here, he said that he was originally worried about my revenge, I would suffer a loss against the crowd, and I could still respond to this thing at a critical juncture, but I didn't expect it to really save our lives.

The tomb that blew up the leech queen should be really clean, but fortunately, the grenade exploded from the leech queen's body, although the power was huge, but it did not affect the explosion of the tomb, the tomb wall that the leech queen leaned on was the most damaged, and a thick seal was exposed from the inside, but it was not exploded, which shows how firmly this tomb was built.

I was now becoming more and more interested in the tomb owner, and as soon as I took a step forward, I saw half of the shoe prints on the ground that had been obscured by the falling rubble, and I peeled aside the gravel to see a pair of blood-stained shoe prints.

But the pattern of this shoe print is different from what we have seen in the downward passage before.

"It seems that we have miscalculated, there are more than a group of people who have been here, and the earliest time will not be more than thirty years ago." Tian Ji squatted down and looked at it for a long time, and said with certainty.

"How can you be so sure?" Gong Jue asked curiously.

"I am too familiar with the texture of this sole, this is the pattern of liberation shoes, I wore these shoes when I was a soldier, and I wore them for four years, the earliest batch of such shoes was when the People's Republic of China was founded, and it has been just 30 years since then." Tian Ji looked at our confident answer. "But there are a lot of people who wear these shoes, and it's hard to judge the identity."

"It's probably about thirty years, as can be inferred from the color of the blood stains under the shoe prints." The palace lord nodded.

I searched further, the shoe prints became shallower and shallower, and finally disappeared by the side of a tomb, I asked the palace lord and Tian Ji to pay attention around, but found no other shoe prints, and it was the same person who had been here thirty years ago.

"This shoe print is of different shades on the left and right, indicating that this person's feet are uneven." I'll see what they say for sure. "This man should be a cripple."

"According to our previous inference, the people who come here mainly feed the monsters kept in the tomb, thirty years ago...... At that time, these monsters hadn't woken up yet, so they shouldn't have been the ones who came to feed them, so what is this cripple doing here? Gong Jue looked puzzled.

Tian Ji beckoned us to come over, and he found a grass-green satchel in a corner, which was very old, containing a shovel and rope, as well as a fire fold, a torch, and a bundle of explosives.

For tomb robbers, they will not abandon their own business no matter what, because tomb robbing is a matter of life, and every tool may save lives in the end, so tomb robbers have always believed in and used the tools they have chosen by themselves.

The bag was discarded in the burial chamber, presumably something had happened, and the lame man had too much time to take the bag with him.

However, this also shows that this extremely well-hidden ancient tomb was explored as early as 30 years ago, even if something happened, why didn't this person come back to open the coffin of the tomb owner?

Thinking of this, I walked to the coffin, this coffin is even bigger and heavier than the coffin of the emperor and queen we saw before, surrounded by exquisite ornaments with yin lines hooked, and gold leaf silk threads pasted on it are extremely luxurious.

The three of them worked together to slowly remove the lid of the coffin, the palace lord lit the torch to illuminate, the coffin has a total of four, because the shell tomb is dry, so it is very well preserved, the coffin is about eight inches thick, according to the burial system, this is the specification of the burial of the Son of Heaven.

When the lid of the coffin was opened, the three of us were stunned in surprise and looked intently inside.

A middle-aged man lies peacefully with his eyes closed, wearing a black crown, with beaded curtains before and after, because of the vertical, wearing a black robe and a red robe, a red Luo fold, a white Luo with a jade, the two shoulders of the Xuanyi are woven with the sun, the moon, the dragon pattern, the sleeves are woven with fire, Chinese insects and other ornaments, which are clearly divided into twelve chapter patterns, representing the imperial costumes.

The owner of this tomb turned out to be an emperor, so this should be the emperor's tomb, but I really can't think of an unknown son of heaven, Long Yuguitian, who was buried in Beibi Mountain.

This is not to shock us, the man lying in the coffin, his face is ruddy and his skin is fresh, as if he is sleeping peacefully, as if he can be woken up by making a loud noise, Tian Ji clenched the dagger in his hand, and asked timidly, this ancient tomb will move all dead people, will this man who does not look like a dead man also sit up straight.

I shook my head, no matter who the tomb owner is, he can see that he believes in ghosts and gods very much, and he does not hesitate to use the emperor and queen to accompany the burial to raise the Yama leeche, and place so many evil monsters in the tomb, all in order to keep himself from being disturbed, I guess I really think that I can bring the dead back to life, as for why the body can be preserved so well, I don't know, but it is certain that the tomb owner will never let his body be damaged.

Gong Jue found a roll of dark yellow paper in the hand of the tomb owner, I took it in my hand to see, this ancient tomb is not only weird and bizarre, the tomb specifications are in accordance with the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but the patterns and craftsmanship that can be used are the Western Han Dynasty, but seeing this roll of paper, I can be sure that this is the ancient tomb of the Western Han Dynasty.

The surface of this paper is flat, soft, flake-like, with a certain strength, and the material is Baqiao paper, which is the paper that only appeared in the early Western Han Dynasty.

In the dry burial chamber, this thousand-year-old scroll of paper became fragile, I carefully opened it, and on it was a small seal to record the life of the tomb owner, roughly meaning, a son of heaven after death convinced that he could come back to life, and with the help of Fangshi, he built this mausoleum, and searched everywhere for the corpse eel and the Hades leech and the leech queen, placed in the tomb to prevent the tomb from being stolen, and mentioned that at the right time, the ghosts and gods would resurrect him again.

This scroll of paper about the life of the scroll was nothing special, it was just the wishful thinking of the Son of Heaven who could not look directly at death and fantasized about immortality, but I was shocked when I saw the final payment.

Ji Qu!

"What's the origin of this corpse, you reacted so much?" Tian Ji probably saw my face change and asked seriously.

"Ji Qu is the first owner of Sui Hou Zhu." I say.

"The first one?" The palace lord asked suspiciously. "Did you change hands with Hou Zhu?"

Suiguo is an important ancient country surnamed Ji in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and Ji Qu is the monarch of Suiguo, he is the first person to get Suihou Zhu, Ji Qu died early, so there are few records in literature and history, Ji Qu followed Hou Zhu as a treasure of Suiguo in the inheritance of the monarchs of the past dynasties, until Suiguo died in Chu, and finally Qin unified the world, Suihou Zhu finally fell into the hands of Emperor Qin Yingzheng.

"With the monarch of the country...... Tian Ji frowned and shook his head. This is the ancient tomb of the Western Han Dynasty, how many years have passed, no matter who this person is, it will definitely not be Ji Qu, it should be an impostor from the Western Han Dynasty, and the life on this paper is also made up. ”

I don't think so, since the tomb owner believes in ghosts and gods, he believes that he can bring the dead back to life, and the person who built this mausoleum is definitely the pinnacle of feng shui, he wears the clothes of the Son of Heaven, and at the same time is buried according to the Son of Heaven burial system.

The owner of the tomb should know very well that if it is not the Son of Heaven, enjoying such a standard burial, it is trespassing, and it is also deceiving the ghosts and gods will be punished, a person who does not hesitate to kill hundreds of babies, even his own emperor and queen, and believes that he can bring the dead back to life, how can he casually mess with the rules of the funeral system.

"Spring and Autumn with the Country...... The ancient tombs of the Western Han Dynasty have passed for more than 700 years! The palace lord looked at the people in the coffin in shock. Speak according to you, and the man lives...... Lived for more than 700 years! ”

"That's right, a person who died in the Spring and Autumn Period appeared in a Western Han Dynasty tomb, do you think this is normal?" Tian Ji couldn't believe it either.

"Even if this person is from the Western Han Dynasty, more than 2,000 years ago, do you think he looks like a normal dead person?" I pointed to the corpse, which was as alive as a sleeping corpse.

"What does he seem to be holding in his right hand?" Gong Jue said as he gently broke the corpse's clenched fist.

A white bead about an inch in size was revealed in the palm of the stretched hand, and as soon as Tian Ji took it in his hand, the corpse in the coffin, which had been well preserved and lifelike, instantly dried up and withered.

With Hou Zhu Tibetan in the north of the Xuanwu seal.

Ji Qu got the pearl, because it is expensive for the Hou, so this pearl is called the Hou Zhu, Ji Qu is the first owner of the Hou Zhu, I now suddenly realized that the Hou Zhu has not been changed hands at all, has been hidden by Ji Qu by his side, I didn't even see a funeral goods in the coffin of a son of heaven, only this pearl was held tightly in his hands, and he refused to let go until he died, I was a little excited and excited, pointing to the beads in the hands of the pheasant and said.

"This is Suihou Zhu, who has been lost for thousands of years!"
