Chapter 35: The Treasure in the Iron Coffin
As soon as the idea came out, the atmosphere of fear that had been suppressed by the death threat was swept away, and only the fun of treasure hunting remained. I hurriedly answered Daikin and walked around the tomb with my headlamp on.
After a few turns, my heart was half cold. The tomb was so ravaged by the black snake that even the pure bronze poisonous lion was thrown to the ground and deformed. The gloomy wooden coffin was knocked to the ground and scattered, and the bones inside fell out.
The coffin was lifted by the tomb beast set up by himself, and the careful arrangement would inevitably desecrate the corpse. Sure enough, in the dark, karma, tomb robbery is a thing that is detrimental to yin morality, and anyone who does this will not end well. The worst is a violent death, and the worst is a causal cycle. Not only because of the corpse gas in the tomb, but also because the Chinese pay attention to entering the soil for peace, and the dead do not let the dead be peaceful, and they will be stained with a bad breath on their bodies, and their wealth will be hollowed out over time.
Therefore, the tomb robbers made huge profits, but it is rare for anyone to make a fortune from him. Because wealth is unjust, and wealth flows water. Tomb robbers are full of bad luck, and they can't keep the wealth in their hands. Therefore, some tomb robbers have prescribed certain rules to reduce the occurrence of these karma, so that it has a long history. This is very different from some scattered thieves who dig up graves and implement a sweeping policy.
I looked at Chen Hongyu's bones, and secretly thought in my heart that after I died, I should be like Genghis Khan, scattering the ashes to the grassland, leaving only a pinch of white male hair in the tomb.
Dajin, who had been thinking about it like a gopher, suddenly shouted, "Come here, come here." ”
I hurriedly ran over, only to see that Dajin had moved away the gravel, and carefully took out the contents inside, which was also a jade pendant, the whole was milky white, and there was a faint fluorescence under the illumination of the light, which showed that the material was extraordinary, but it was a pity that this jade pendant had a round hollow dragon and phoenix pattern, and was smashed in half by the stone, leaving only half of the dragon's head.
Dajin carefully held the jade pendant, with tears in his eyes: "Baby, it's not that my brother won't save you, it's really too late...... Let your daughter-in-law lose ......"
I comforted Dajin and said: "This jade pendant looks like the best Hetian seed jade, you go back to find a master to change it for you, and you can also make a family heirloom." ”
Dajin nodded, put the jade pendant away, and searched around like a hound. We fumbled for a long time, but we couldn't find anything, only some jade and handles that were smashed into slag, which were originally rare treasures, but they were all ruined, which is a pity.
I saw that the search was almost over, so I had to discuss with Daikin how to get out. Dajin looked around contentedly, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said, "I said Gua Wazi, I finally entered a big tomb, so I was in a hurry to leave...... I thought, there should be something in that iron coffin......"
When I heard this, I couldn't help but glance at the iron coffin, which was rumored to be evil, and Daikin also said that he heard movement inside, but after opening it, there was only a dry palm, which was really weird. Could it be that there is some hidden compartment in it? A real treasure hidden in a dark compartment? Or was the iron coffin opened by the tunnel workers and took the contents away?
I turned around and looked at the snake**, the black and faint did not move at all, thinking that the big black snake had completely given up, so I was a little relieved. Looking at Dajin again, he has already stabbed his head into the iron coffin, twisting around with a big ass exposed......
I hurriedly followed, patted Dajin's buttocks and said, "You are so damn bold, you are not afraid that the coffin splint will hide a big zongzi and tear your fat body." ”
Dajin ignored my blame, and after a while, he shouted: "There is really a dark grid, I'll just say, why doesn't there be any dry goods in such a big iron cabinet." With a strong voice, he lifted the iron plate inside the iron coffin. It turned out that the coffin was double-layered, with a severed hand on top and an iron plate fault under the severed hand. Daikin removed the one-man-tall iron plate, revealing a layer of oiled paper inside.
I excitedly pulled my head in, rudely tore the layer of oiled paper, and trembled as I threw the lamp in. Thinking that it was so hidden that it must be some more precious treasure, I was stunned when I saw it.
There were some miscellaneous items neatly stacked inside, and I picked one up and looked at it carefully: "Hey,, Dajin, look at it, why is this exactly the same as your Luoyang shovel?" "The thing in my hand is made of fine iron, and it is about thirty centimeters long. The shovel head is semi-cylindrical, similar to a tile cylinder, much like a common murder weapon in the seventies and eighties. This thing Dajin also has one, and the shape of these two objects is almost the same, except that the shape in my hand is more delicate, and the shovel head is smaller, which seems to be handmade. Daikin was picked up by him from the antique market, and compared to the one in front of him, it was obviously Xibei goods.
Dajin grabbed it and looked at it: "This should not be a Luoyang shovel, but a soil shovel made by himself...... This guy's IQ is really high......" As he was saying, he threw the shovel into the iron coffin and scolded: "The feelings are all things that Chen Hongyu eats, and this thief treats these things as treasures,!" ”
I only reacted when he said this, and then looked at the contents of the coffin, Zhente Niang is a must-have for tomb robbery. The dragon-shaped whirlwind shovel used to fight the robbery hole, the stainless steel probe claw, the dark gold diamond umbrella, and the dragon-patterned treasure wax wrapped in oiled paper...... There are also some special utensils that I can't even name.
These things are wrapped in oiled paper and coated with a layer of tree oil, which has very little trace of corrosion and is completely usable. For the inverted gold captain, it can be said to be a priceless treasure. But today, when Captain Touching Jin has become extinct, most of the methods of using these things have been lost, and even Daikin has only heard of the use, but he doesn't know the method.
I kicked the iron coffin in a rage, and said viciously: "This is considered to be the great blood mold that has fallen for eight lifetimes, and I almost lost my life, and I only got half of the artifact." finally opened the coffin, but it was a pile of broken copper and iron. ”
Dajin relieved his breath and waved his hand and said: "No, no, these things can be said to be the treasures of the Ming Dynasty, and they may be considered broken copper and iron for us, but they are different in the hands of tomb robbers, I heard that they treat these things as treasures, and it is estimated that they sold them, which is enough for us to nourish for two years......
When I think about it, although these things are old, they are still sharp weapons for inverted buckets, these things are like burning sticks in our hands, and they become life-saving treasures in the hands of the masters of the family. I couldn't help but smile when I thought about it, and I cleaned up the contents of the iron coffin one by one with Daikin.
The shovel was swept away, revealing two copper boxes underneath, which were carved with simple patterns and covered with green rust......
Daikin and I looked at each other and almost cried. Dajin wiped his eyes and said with tears in his eyes: "God is pitiful, this old man Chen likes to toss people too much, and he always likes to surprise people...... How do you say that sentence, there is no way out, and there is a widow's village in front, which is famous. And the hara that spoke of the great gold flowed out.
I also wiped my mouth, and said in my heart that I don't need to go out with this pile of iron tools to be embarrassed. As he spoke, he reached out and carefully took out a copper box, and Dajin followed closely behind to bring out another.
The copper box is green and rusty, not like any style of treasure chest I have ever seen, there is no lock, just a simple opening and closing machine, and the gaps are sealed with fire paint. I picked up the sapper shovel and carefully removed the paint with the shovel, and opened it with a gentle push.
Inside was a palm-sized white jade box wrapped in brocade. There was a large piece of kraft paper pressed under the jade box, and Dajin had been in the antique field for many years, and he could see at a glance that this jade was not a precious jade material, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart.
I didn't understand the mystery, and excitedly opened the jade box.
Inside is a black and shiny sharp cone, like the lower end of the jade non-jade cone circumference, inlaid with a number of terpene gold threads, silk into a strange pattern, the cone body is engraved with "touch gold" two ancient seal characters.
I've never seen anything like this, but the color of the material is somewhat similar to my wicked seal. Turning his head and asking Daikin. Dajin smiled bitterly and said: "This is the gold talisman, made of the fingernails of the pangolin, which is used to ward off evil spirits, and it is the lifeblood, lung leaf, and heart and liver of the captain of the gold school in ancient times...... Chen Hongyu's gold talisman is also the best of the best, and there is a clear price in the line...... It's comparable to the ancient jade of the same era. ”
When I heard him say this, I couldn't help but be disappointed, after seeing the treasures like the Blue Sea Pearl and the Dragon and Phoenix Jade Pendant, although this gold talisman is precious, it is not very in the eyes of the two of us.
Dajin said fiercely: "A thief is a thief, and he can't live without this food for a lifetime, and I think it should be similar in this box." As he spoke, he shook his bronze box.
I told him to calm down and put the gold talisman in the white jade box and put it away. I took out the kraft paper under the bronze box, which should have contained books and other things, and I slowly uncovered it, and the kraft paper was wrapped in eight layers, and when I completely uncovered it, there was only a thin layer of booklets.
Daikin was not interested in what I was holding and turned to fiddle with his bronze box.
I threw away the kraft paper and looked at the pamphlet by the light, which looked like a thread-bound book, and though it was thickly wrapped in kraft paper, it was still yellow. At the title of the book, it is written in neat small block letters, 'The Thirty-six Treasures of the Green Capsule Astrolabe'
I flipped through it and watched it, and immediately trembled with excitement, patted Dajin and said, "Don't open it up with a damn place, look at this, Grandma Huang Tian, it's done!" It's hairy! ”
