Chapter 27: The False Tomb
"Uncle Tian, didn't we enter the main tomb?" This kind of problem, for a layman like me, it is estimated that even if I want to break my head, I will definitely not understand the reason, so I have to ask Ni Tian again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Ni Tian seemed to be thinking about this question as well, and was silent for a long time before answering me: "Although the layout of this tomb can be built in a variety of ways, it must also abide by certain regulations. This burial chamber, if we extrapolate from the pattern formed by the ear chamber we walked through earlier, I am sure that this must be the main burial chamber of this ancient tomb. ”
"So, this ...... It can't be that the owner of this tomb has masochistic tendencies and makes himself a mechanism to scare people, right? I pointed to the headless corpse. It's just that the dry corpse at this time has already been pulled out by Jin Buchang and put aside.
"Hmm...... Make your own corpse into a trap? The fetish of the owner of this tomb is indeed a bit special......" Ni Tian put his hands in front of his chest, squinted his eyes slightly, and said something serious.
"Don't be funny, Uncle Tian, how can anyone make their own corpse into a mechanism?" I really can't accept Ni Tian's explanation, this is obviously playing with me.
Ni Tian smiled, didn't respond, and instead began to look around, carefully observing the pattern in the tomb.
During the conversation between me and Ni Tian, Jin Buchang had already turned the coffin upside down, and from his unhappy expression, I already knew that he had definitely found nothing.
"Grandma's, it's empty, not even a fart. Fortunately, Master Jin and I are bold, otherwise, not only would I not have touched the gold, but I would have to lose a lot of money, and this transaction would have been a big loss. Jin Buchang walked over, muttering angrily.
Ni Tian didn't seem surprised that there was no burial vessel in the tomb, but he turned to me and continued to analyze: "Now it seems that the only explanation can only be that this ancient tomb may be just a virtual tomb. ”
"False tomb?" I'm a little puzzled, isn't this ancient tomb still a reality?
"False tombs, also called fake tombs, since ancient times there have been many emperors, in order to prevent their tombs from being stolen, some fake tombs have been built in many places, in order to hide people's eyes and ears, often let the tomb robbers be buried in this fake tomb without knowing it.
Speaking of virtual tombs, the most famous one probably has to be Cao Cao, the king of Wei. It is rumored that in the early days of Cao Cao's army, the funds in the army were tight. Cao Cao specially set up two official positions, General Faqiu Zhonglang and Captain Mojin, recruited masters of inverted dou'er from the people, and organized tomb robberies to fill military expenses. But it is precisely because Cao Cao robbed countless tombs in his life that he was even more afraid that after his death, the mausoleum would not escape the fate of being stolen, so he built seventy-two identical tombs in one go, known as Cao Cao's seventy-two doubtful tombs, in order to confuse tomb robbers. ”
"How is this possible? Such a huge tomb is just a fake mausoleum to deceive tomb robbers? "Although I don't believe it, I am actually a little convinced of Ni Tian's reasoned and well-founded analysis. He is a person who can always think calmly and analyze carefully when encountering things, and finally give an answer that is closest to the truth.
It's just that the maze of the grassland has given me too many mysteries, and now I finally reached the center of this ancient tomb, but I found that this place is just a fake mausoleum, which is really unacceptable to me. Besides, if it's really just a fake tomb, why did the fourth uncle bring me here? And why is he nowhere to be seen? My mind was already in a mess, and the old headache began to flare up faintly, I stretched out my hand and slowly rubbed my forehead, listening to Ni Tian continue to analyze.
"The corpse is buried in this coffin, there is a coffin without a coffin, the corpse is pierced by copper wire, the steel nail pierces the leg, and it is set up as a mechanism, naturally it cannot be the owner of the tomb." Ni Tian paused and thought for a while: "What Xiao Yi said is not bad, the scale of this ancient tomb is also the only thing I can't figure out, if it is a fake tomb just to hide people's ears, it seems to be a little too much." ”
Ni Tian walked to the side of the steps, sat down, dragged his chin, frowned, and looked like he was in thought again.
When I saw him like this, I didn't want to bother anymore, so I walked to him and sat down, but my brain was a mess, and I wanted to think about something, but I couldn't find any entry point to think about, so I had to be stunned.
Jin Buchang lost his interest, sat down dejectedly, took out a cigarette and distributed it to me and Ni Tian, and the three of them sat on the stone steps and were silent.
I lit a cigarette, feeling a little tired, so I lay down and looked at the dark ceiling, where a huge crimson wolf's head was staring at the ground with its bloody mouth wide open and green eyes......
I spat out a smoke ring, irritable and distracted. The fourth uncle is still nowhere to be seen, and there is no trace of him in this fake tomb, I really can't figure out what the fourth uncle is doing this time. And now, even the iron head and the pillar have been lost by me, and I don't know when I will find them, and an unspeakable sense of frustration has risen in my heart, and I am very frustrated.
I sighed and rubbed my face vigorously with my hands, since the troubles originated from this mystery, then why should I delve into it again, just don't think about it anymore. I began to think in my heart, as long as we wait for the iron-headed pillars to find them here, we will leave this place of right and wrong, as for the fourth uncle...... Since he had not entered the main burial chamber, he had to go out and find another way.
After paying attention, I felt much more relaxed, and I simply took a closer look at the wolf's head mural on the ceiling of the tomb. At least for someone who has studied art, it is a kind of hard-won luck to be able to appreciate the exquisite and ingenious works of art of the ancients, I think a little self-comfortingly.
I stared at the vivid mural of the wolf's head on the top of the tomb, but the more I looked, the more strange a strange feeling came into my heart, although this wolf's head was realistic, I always felt that something was missing, as if it was not as terrifying as the wolf head I had seen in the ear chamber before.
Looking left and right, after looking for a long time, I didn't see what the way was, it stands to reason that the murals in this ancient tomb should all be from the same craftsman's hand, but why is this feeling so different? What's the difference? The more I look at it, the more I feel a little strange.
I touched Ni Tian, who was still brooding on his cheeks next to me, and pointed to the top wall of the tomb: "Uncle Tian, don't you think this wolf head is a little different from the previous tomb?" ”
Ni Tian looked up at the roof of the room, narrowed his eyes, and muttered to himself slightly: "No...... The same? ”
Jin Buchang naturally heard my words, and then raised his head to look up, and snorted angrily: "Isn't it just a broken wolf head mural, and you can't move it away, so it's hard to pounce down and bite people." ”
As soon as Jin Buchang's words entered my ears, my body was like a lightning strike, and I couldn't care about it, so I grabbed his hand excitedly: "What did you say?!" ”。
"Damn, boy, what are you doing!? Do you want Jin Ye to make me lose a little more? "Jin Buchang was taken aback by my sudden grab.
"What did you just say?!" I was a little emotional, and I couldn't explain much.
"Isn't it just a broken wolf's head? Boy, are you excited? "Jin Buchang was confused by me.
"Not this sentence, the next sentence, the next sentence."
"Could it be that you will pounce ......?"
Before Jin Buchang could finish speaking, I slapped my thigh excitedly: "Yes, pounce down!" What this wolf head lacks compared to the wolf heads seen in the tomb before is the feeling of swooping down! ……”
