Chapter 4: The Ancient Tomb of Bloody Corpses

With instinct, the third uncle kept shouting at the dirt around him, trying to poke his head out to breathe, or grab something around him, but it was in vain, it was about two or three seconds, he felt empty under him, fell into some space, and then fell into the water with the mud wrapped around him.

The cold water washed the mud off his face, coughing and struggling to get up, it was pitch black all around, he didn't know where he had fallen, he could only feel the water from the waist down, and there was a strange rancid smell all around.

The flashlight is still on, and now it has fallen into the water, revealing only a small bit of electric light, the third uncle attached himself and touched the flashlight, because it was soaked in water, it was dark when it was touched, he shook it twice, and the flashlight lit up again, but the light was obviously a little dim.

He used a flashlight to shine around, and found that he had fallen into a brick room, surrounded by a cliff built by four green bricks, and when he looked behind him, he saw that there was a big hole in the blue brick wall behind him that seemed to be artificially opened, and it was obvious that he had slipped in from this hole just now.

The third uncle looked around, and he understood what was going on, there was something wrong with the place he had just excavated, it seemed to be a hollow covered with soil, his weight was pressed on it, and there was no support underneath, so the soil under the entire robbery hole collapsed, and rolled into the tomb below with his mud.

Who opened the hole in the wall of the tomb? Did you inadvertently dig the hole that the old man robbed when they entered the tomb? Is there such a coincidence?

The third uncle thought about it. I think it's really possible that this is the case, my own ability is taught by the old man, and the old man's ability is taught by the previous generation, because the tomb has begun to degrade since the Qing Dynasty, so the tomb robbery technology has always been to eat the old book, there is no further development in essence, where to fight the hole, how to fight are dead rules, the apprentice taught by the same master, it is likely to be the same position to steal the hole.

Putting this aside for a moment, he looked around carefully, and the entrance behind him was full of pouring dirt, and the shovel didn't know where it was wrapped in the mud, so it would be a little difficult to get back the way he came. But he wasn't worried, he had explosives on him, and he really couldn't get out, so let's open a skylight for him.

The burial chamber is a regular square type, vaulted, with simple reliefs on all sides, and the burial chamber is not large, but not too high. The water in the burial chamber reached his waist, and the burial goods were supposed to be under water. But in a pool of black water, you can't see what's underneath at all.

On the left wall, there is a door open, which seems to be the passage of this ancient tomb.

It is impossible to judge the dynasty and the status of the owner of the tomb based on these alone, but looking at the height of this tomb, it is obvious that the owner of the tomb here is not a princely figure.

The general ancient tombs, with burial chambers, are not low, because in ancient times, there were not many people who could afford to live in a brick house, and if you want to use bricks to repair the tomb, the owner of the tomb also needs to be an official eunuch. But even if it is the official eunuch class, most of the ancient tombs will not have too evil organs, because their ability is limited, all dynasties, top craftsmen, especially those who have mastered the architectural knowledge of the mausoleum, are only for the emperor alone, and they can probably serve once in a lifetime, a large number of top craftsmen died in the imperial tomb when it was closed, which is why so many things have been lost in China.

The third uncle calmed down for a while, wading through the water and walking towards the dark corridor, the water was cold and resistant, and it walked with ripples, making a very unpleasant sound.

The floor of the underwater tomb is not flat, several times he stepped on something and almost fell, at this time he couldn't think about what he stepped on, if this was the ancient tomb recorded in the notes of the year, then what he stepped on, in addition to the burial goods here, there may be the remains of the elders, this kind of thing is too exciting, the best solution is not to think about it.

The road is about twenty meters long, and soon walked over, behind the road is another larger tomb, there is no other road around, the third uncle knows that this is already the apse, walk a few steps closer, there is a coffin bed in the middle of the tomb, high above the water.

The third uncle's flashlight shone away, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and his feet were a little soft.

I saw a sarcophagus on the coffin bed, and the lid of the coffin had been turned over to nowhere, which was not uncommon, but what made him a little frightened was that there were two other rotten dry bones, leaning on the top of the uncovered coffin, the clothes on the body were torn, the two corpses had completely decayed, and the skin and flesh had been glued together with the sarcophagus, far away, it was not clear what dynasty it was, but it was certainly not a martyred slave.

The third uncle was stunned for a while, feeling cold, and didn't dare to go over, and secretly said in his heart, could these two be his relatives who died in the ancient tomb at that time?

It's not the first time he has entered the ancient tomb, the corpses in the ancient tomb, he has long practiced the mentality of ignorance, for him, these corpses are just objects, but this time he encountered the corpses of his relatives, he had an inexplicable fear in his heart, and his heart was beating hard.

He slowly walked up to the stone platform in the middle of the tomb, everyone was trembling, the flashlight was unstable, and he looked at the sarcophagus first, only to see a dried blood clot condensed at the bottom of the coffin, which seemed to be wrapped in silk, but there was no corpse. When he got closer to the two corpses, he saw that the corpses were gone, and his head was already a skeleton, so he couldn't tell if it was his own relative, but the third uncle saw that one of the corpses was holding a box cannon in his hand.

The third uncle's knees were weak, he knelt down, and kowtowed two heads uprightly, the third uncle is not a person with delicate feelings, and his behavior at this time should be an instinct. The clouds are deep and untraceable.

After kowtowing, the third uncle suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, he looked at the box cannon, it was already embroidered and could not be used, so he threw it aside to see the things in the sarcophagus, he put on gloves and leaned into the coffin, and pressed the silk at the bottom of the coffin.

In fact, the coffin is also divided into many layers, the body is only in the middle, and there should be several layers of satin and tencel cotton bedding up and down, and each position between the silk and satin is placed with a specific Ming vessel.

After the third uncle pressed it, he knew that the corpse was not under the rotten satin, but he touched it, and there was a ring-shaped thing under the mess of filth under the coffin. He reached in and touched it, and there was a sigh in his heart, it turned out to be an iron ring, which was put at the bottom of the coffin.

He placed the flashlight on the edge of the sarcophagus, then clasped the iron ring with both hands, and pulled hard, only to hear the sound of Kaben, and suddenly the floor of the coffin was tilted to one side, and a secret door was revealed under the coffin.

The third uncle's head jumped, and he didn't think that there was more than one floor in this tomb, so he immediately took out a fire fold, and just wanted to throw it into the secret door below to see what the place was below, but he didn't expect that his hand just poked over, and he saw a strange face full of wrinkles, and poked out of the secret door.
