Chapter 8: Sacrifice

The burial chamber was large, and the fire fold illuminated only an area, in which a huge coffin lay horizontally, and around the coffin, a large circular pit enveloped the coffin, forming a barrier, as if trying to isolate the coffin from the outside world. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhai Nan knew that everything the ancients did had a special symbolic meaning, especially in the tombs with strict rules and regulations, everything in the tomb, from a coffin to a porcelain, had countless stories.

Let's put these aside first, a few people first looked around the door, and there was indeed no trace of a mechanism or anything like that, even the boulder seemed to have disappeared without a trace.

There was a strange fragrance emanating from the burial chamber, which made people smell like they were in a beautiful dream, but of course it only smelled like, not really a dream.

The moment this smell appeared, Lin Fan's whole person became excited, and his hand holding the fire fold began to be a little unstable.

Zhai Nan saw that the walls were very smooth all around, and at the same time, there were traces of straight lines covering the entire wall. On the ground, there were two irregular black marks, shaped like a diamond, he raised the flashlight, and saw that on the stone door, a diamond-shaped mark also appeared, and the position was basically the same.

Zhai Nan immediately understood, it seems that the stone gate is a kind of operation similar to an elevator, straight up and down. He looked at the people around him, and sure enough, these people were also thoughtful, and seemed to have understood the operation of the stone gate.

Now that they understood, several people were silent, and the fat man took the lead, opened a fire fold casually, and walked towards the tomb, which was actually not big, and because of the darkness and architecture, it made people feel a very huge feeling.

Seven people stood in the dim tomb, if the thin man did not die, he could make two tables of mahjong, and it was interesting to think about how many people were playing mahjong next to the coffin.

The top of the tomb is arched, I am afraid that this is due to the problem of force, on the wall of the tomb, there are some murals carved, Zhai Nan can't understand it, so he didn't look at it, but Lin Fan watched it with relish on the side, as for the others, they looked down at the burial goods on the ground.

"You see, there is porcelain in the burial pit, and there are quite a few of them." As soon as the fat man entered the tomb, he did nothing else and began to look for his artifact, but he really found it, but it was in the burial pit.

Several people gathered around, and as soon as they came, Dashi screamed and said, "What do you have a crush on?" Is this also called porcelain? What a shattered it all to. ”

"No, those rich people have quirks, maybe there is one who likes these broken porcelain?" The fat man laughed and babbled.

"You have it, you go on, these fragments belong to you, and we will divide them if we find the True Weapon." The old cannon leaned over and said.

As soon as the old cannon spoke, the fat man scolded him, saying that he was not righteous. The old cannon began to be happy.

Zhai Nan looked at the burial pit, there were many bones in the burial pit, there were people and beasts, and there were some porcelain fragments seen by fat people, the number of porcelain fragments was huge, and looking at the surface, it accounted for one-third of the entire burial pit.

"Why did those people break the porcelain and put it in the burial pit?" Zhai Nan asked.

"I'm afraid that these are not broken by the owner of the tomb, but someone else." The fat man said.

"Oh? Why? Zhai Nan was puzzled.

"No." The fat man Nunu mouthed, making Zhai Nan look at a corner.

Zhai Nan was stunned for a moment, turned on the flashlight, and suddenly his scalp exploded, only to see a dry corpse without a lower body lying on the ground, his right hand stretched forward, as if to grab something, Zhai Nan shone the flashlight on the position where the hand of the dry corpse was pointing.

A few meters away from the corpse was a wall with a mural carved into it, which was somewhat blurred due to the erosion of time.

On the murals, there is a strange scene, the word that can appear in Zhai Nan's mind, and can also describe these murals, is only the word 'sacrifice'.

Ancient emperors relied on myths to stabilize their rule, and China has been inherited for 5,000 years, and there are countless legends and folk tales to investigate, I am afraid that the huge amount of information is enough for people to digest for a long time.

On the fresco, you can see that in the center is an altar-like building, surrounded by black pressure, it seems that countless people are kneeling, on the altar, a soft-lined person is holding a bottle-like thing and pouring it on the altar, and below the altar, there are many animals, which seem to be sacrifices.

The picture ended here, Zhai Nan knew that the story would definitely not end here, and looked back, only Lin Fan was interested in these murals, observing the wall with a serious face, the fat man was muttering, saying that it was a big coffin, but there were no funeral goods, which was a bit too much to say.

Zhai Nan shook his head, and said in his heart that this fat man was too greedy for money, and he had been thinking about the funeral goods, and during the time when Zhai Nan was in a daze, Lin Fan came over from the side, stood beside Zhai Nan, and began to look at the murals on the wall.

"What are the murals around this area about?" After waiting for a long time, Zhai Nan asked Lin Fan.

"It probably records a relatively important sacrificial event, and you must know that such an activity has never been less than in the entire history of China." Lin Fan said.

Zhai Nan has seen it from the costume TV series on TV, there will be that kind of large-scale sacrificial activities, known as sacrifices to the sky, in some marginal ancient countries, there are even some activities to worship other gods, it seems that the world of gods is also in dire straits.

"So, what civilization system should this tomb belong to?" Zhai Nan asked, the initial discomfort had been replaced by the novelty of completely robbing the tomb, and the seven people were like picnics, doing nothing in the tomb.

"It's hard to say." Lin Fan said.

"Large-scale sacrifices were performed in almost every dynasty in ancient China, whether official or civil, but judging from the scale of the sacrifices on the murals, almost all of the folk activities were excluded."

"For a sacrificial event of this scale, there will definitely be some official background, but there is too little information to determine which dynasty the mural is the product of."

"There is also a possibility that the strokes have nothing to do with this tomb, and are just a trick by the owner of the tomb, of course, we can't judge." Lin Fan shook his head.

'It's the same as not saying,' Zhai Nan defined Lin Fan's words.

"Leave that alone, open the coffin!" The fat man was already impatiently standing beside the coffin and rubbing his hands.

"Didn't you go and pack up your porcelain? How do you pay attention to the coffin? Zhai Nan quipped.

"This is called a coffin, if you don't have culture, you don't talk about others!" Lin Fan frowned and said,

Zhai Nan shrugged, he was chasing ducks to the shelves to be a tomb robber, otherwise he was still studying how to spend the rest of the money, and he finally became a rich man once, and he was brought here before he could spend it.

"Don't say anything else, hurry up and open the coffin!" The fat man was in a hurry, jumped directly from the burial pit, and ran to the coffin, when the fat man's big feet stepped on the burial pit, he made a creaking sound, and Zhai Nan's scalp was numb when he heard it.

Several people surrounded one after another, leaving Zhai Nan and the guide didn't go, Zhai Nan looked at the bones and scalp in the burial pit, and why didn't the guide go, Zhai Nan didn't know.

Zhai Nan shone the coffin with a flashlight, the coffin looked stone, and there was a paleness under the light of the flashlight, and several people gathered around and looked at the coffin.

"How?" The old cannon asked, it would be okay to get some explosives, but it would be really difficult for him to open the coffin.

"Push it away, there is no danger in the coffin, what is dangerous is the contents of the coffin." The fat man said.

What's in the coffin? What else could be in the coffin? Could it be that the corpse in the coffin will still move? Zhai Nanxin said that they were scaring people, and they were talking like fantasy novels.

"Take out the black donkey's hooves." Lin Fan said.

Dashi took out two black things from his bag, handed one to the fat man, kept one for himself, and nodded at Lin Fan in his hand.

Seeing Da Shi nodding, Lin Fan said let's go, and suddenly, the five people pushed hard to the side together, and as a few people exerted their strength, the stone coffin made a sound of friction, which made people feel uncomfortable in their hearts.
