Chapter 22: The Golden Horn Bronze Coffin
Liu Xiaoge is based on the principle that out of sight is pure, and since he looks so panicked, he simply treats it as if he doesn't see it. The two of them once again turned their attention to the tomb in front of them, which was one of the most dangerous areas in the tombs in history. All kinds of hidden crossbows and quicksand and rocks are very likely to be set up in the aisle of this dungeon, so this aisle of the dungeon often has to play with the spirit of twelve points.
Because if you are not careful, you may hate for life, Liu Xiaoge looked at the tomb in front of him and suddenly sighed a little, and the picture of the three of them risking through the level together appeared in his mind, thinking that it would be great if this was a little monkey. But now there are only two people left, the little monkey is still in the hands of the enemy, life and death are unknown, and Liu Xiaoge's heart suddenly has a sense of loneliness. This tomb is not very long, almost dozens of meters, and it is all made of cyan stone, although it is still very strong after thousands of years.
The thoughts of the ancients are really elusive, and the best technology is not used in the yang house, but often in the yin house. Most of the rare treasures are also buried in this underground world. The old-timers of the tomb robbery industry often say that this layer of loess separates two worlds.
Although only seven or eight hours have passed since the moment of going to the tomb, Liu Xiaoge is in a trance and can't remember what the sun feels like. In Li Xinwen's careful exploration, the tomb road of dozens of meters was passed without danger. At the end of the tomb is a burial chamber, which should be a partial burial chamber according to the general tomb layout.
As the two stepped into the tomb, there was a sudden roar in the entire tomb. Liu Xiaoge, who was shocked, looked back violently, only to see heavy stone doors hanging down from the top of the tomb, pressing down as many as three before and after, completely sealing the entire tomb. Li Xinwen said calmly: "Don't make a fuss, this is the Broken Dragon Gate, and almost every tomb has it." Interesting, there are actually three ways, three broken dragon gates, if it was changed in ancient times, those tomb robbers are estimated to be dead, and now we have this. ”
After that, he took out a few yellow tubes from his backpack, and Liu Xiaoge naturally recognized what these things were. This yellow thing is a detonator, which is colloquially called explosives. Seeing the explosives, Liu Xiaoge was a little sure in his heart, although these broken dragon gates were strong, they could not resist the power of high-tech explosives directional blasting.
The two of them focused on the burial chamber again, their flashlights shining upwards on the ceiling. A majestic dragon-shaped relief appears on the ceiling, which is a dragon pattern, but it is completely different from the dragon pattern seen in movies and TV series. Because this dragon is entrenched like a big snake, if it weren't for the dragon horns, Liu Xiaoge wouldn't have recognized this as a dragon.
Looking at the dragon with such a strange shape, Liu Xiaoge sighed a little emotionally: "The ancients' magical attainments are not very good, and this dragon carving is not powerful at all." Li Xinwen looked at the relief on the top of the tomb, and compared the middle finger to Liu Xiaoge: "This is a Jiao, not a dragon." Strictly speaking, Jiaolong is a type of dragon, but there is a gap compared to the real dragon. ”
Liu Xiaoge was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly diverted his attention and probed into the tomb, which was obviously much more comfortable than the strange atmosphere outside. In the four directions of the tomb, east, west, north and south, four huge bronze lampposts were placed. The lamppost is of excellent craftsmanship, the outer tube is serpentine, and from a distance it looks like a large snake entrenched on a bronze pillar, and the surface is brilliant, and there may be gilded craftsmanship. This is in line with the good snake of the ancient Minyue culture of the Fujian generation, and Liu Xiaoge can vaguely feel the origin of the owner of this tomb.
Liu Xiaoge saw that it was bronze again, and his eyes immediately lit up. Perhaps these bronzes were not worth much in the time of the ancients, but they are now. Because this bronze is complicated by the process and difficult to preserve, the age is generally long, these characteristics. All the bronzes that have been handed down to this day and are still relatively well preserved are basically priceless treasures. Therefore, the old-timers said that the ancient tombs of the Warring States Period were all places where artifacts were produced, and this artifact mainly refers to bronze artifacts.
Liu Xiaoge has also seen bronzes in many documentaries, the most famous is the Sanxingdui bronzes, the ancient and mysterious culture is attached to these bronzes, conveying a sense of mystery and unparalleled beauty, which can only be understood but not spoken. Behind the bronze lampposts, there are also many pottery and small bronzes, which are mainly some living utensils, and the seals are tightly closed with lids.
Liu Xiaoge suddenly became curious, and went up to open the bronze vessel to find out. Li Xinwen looked at Liu Xiaoge's appearance of an old hat, and said intimidatingly: "Be careful that there are human heads inside." But this sentence obviously didn't scare Liu Xiaoge, with such a small caliber, the head can't be put in at all, unless it is chopped into meat sauce.
Liu Xiaoge took out a dagger and unsealed the mud seal of one of the clay pots, and suddenly a strange sound spread throughout the tomb. Li Xinwen dragged Liu Xiaoge away when she heard the sound, picked up the flashlight and shone it in, only to see a bronze bell hanging in the crockpot, and the sound came from the bronze bell. This bell is hung very cleverly, and countless copper wires are wound around it, as if it are clockwork, so that this bell can be used in the jar without wind.
After seeing the bell, Li Xinwen opened the other crockpots neatly, and sure enough, it was the same bell and almost the same structure. More than a dozen clay pots were uncovered in a row, and it was found that all of them were bronze bells with this strange shape without exception. Liu Xiaoge took a closer look at the bronze bell, which was extremely superb, with a flat and round shape, similar to the common bell, and was carved with this human face ornament.
At this moment, these bronze bells made a crisp sound as if they were wound up in the clay pot. Listening carefully to this sound, Liu Xiaoge found that this sound seemed to have a certain frequency, and the frequency of each sound was regular, and the more he listened, the more uncomfortable his body felt.
Li Xinwen keenly sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly sealed the crockpot with a lid, and the sound disappeared. When the voice disappeared completely, Liu Xiaoge only felt that he was unconsciously panting, as if he had just finished a fierce exercise, and his whole body was hot.
Looking at Li Xinwen again, she found that her situation was similar, Li Xinwen gasped and said: "This bell is strange, its ring frequency is the same as the human heartbeat frequency, and it gradually accelerates, which plays a role in driving the heartbeat." It has a breathtaking effect, similar to the current hypnotic principle, but I didn't expect this evil music to appear here. When Liu Xiaoge heard this, he hurriedly pressed his chest, and sure enough, his heartbeat was very rapid.
This ancient man is too vicious and insidious. Liu Xiaoge is hard to imagine what the ancients thousands of years ago took great pains to create such a set of music. At this time, the records of the ancient Minyue people in the ancient books came to mind again, and the ancient Minyue people believed in ghosts and gods, and emphasized obscenity (sacrifice). Every sacrifice must offer singing and dancing, entertaining the gods with music, and enchanting the gods with dance. Could it be that these bells are one of the witchcraft used in sacrifices?
As soon as he thought that these bells might be witch weapons for murder and sacrifice, Liu Xiaoge suddenly lost interest in these priceless bronzes and ceramic clay pots. Liu Xiaoge understood that the things in this ancient tomb were not so easy to take, and many things were specially shared, just like the magic tools used by Taoist priests, and they would be punished if they were taken indiscriminately.
Li Xinwen suddenly pointed to some inscriptions on the bronze and said: "Sure enough, this is the ancient Fujian bird seal, combined with the location here, this should be the cemetery of the mysterious, prosperous and quickly declining Minyue Kingdom." Liu Xiaoge couldn't understand these ancient Minyue characters at all, so he could only look at Li Xinwen and hope that he would continue to interpret them.
Li Xinwen looked at the inscriptions on several other bronzes, and the more she looked at it, the more puzzled she became: "I don't understand it, although it is written here about the tomb of the King of Minyue, but the owner of the tomb is the generation of King Minyue without mentioning it at all." There are many inscriptions that I have not seen and cannot be deciphered, so it seems that we need to go to the main tomb to find other clues to know the specific identity of the tomb owner. ”
So the two of them didn't delay any longer, and quickly passed through the Jiaolong side hall in front of them. Behind the Jiaolong side hall, next to another side hall, the pattern of this side hall is much more atmospheric than the Jiaolong side hall. The most striking thing is that in the center of this side hall is a coffin of unknown material and covered in green.
Liu Xiaoge is also the first time to see this pattern of burial chamber, looking at this pattern and furnishings should be a burial chamber. In the face of this coffin, although Liu Xiaoge had already had psychological construction, he couldn't help but feel nervous when he thought that he was about to open the coffin and touch the corpse. Originally, if the little monkey was here, he would definitely do the job, but now he and Li Xinwen are left.
Liu Xiaoge looked at Li Xinwen's eyes, obviously as a girl, she still rejects the dirty, tiring and sinful work of touching the corpse. Looking at each other without saying a word, the two walked into the coffin and began to observe carefully, this coffin looks at the material, it should be made of bronze again, but the eight corners of this copper coffin are all golden, look at this color should be gold, gold and copper are tightly connected, not like welded at all, almost integrated.
The smelting technology of the ancient Minyue King was superb, and it was really not nonsense, and it was able to combine gold and copper to this extent. Li Xinwen groaned for a while: "If I guessed correctly, this should be a golden horn copper coffin, this kind of coffin has been extremely dangerous and terrifying since ancient times." ”
Liu Xiaoge's face turned pale when he heard this, and he discussed: "Then can we not touch it, and go around the back to see if there may be something better." And the layout here is obviously not the main burial chamber, most likely the burial chamber. Li Xinwen glared at Liu Xiaoge and said: "It's useless, what are you doing as a mountain movers, it's just a smear for you to move mountains." ”
Liu Xiaoge was not happy when he heard it, and hummed: "Touch it, touch it, whoever is afraid of whom." Li Xinwen pointed to a small hole with a diameter of about five centimeters next to the golden horn copper coffin and said: "This kind of golden horn copper coffin is generally welded to death, and our equipment can't be opened at all." The purpose is to seal the contents so that it doesn't get out, and you reach in and probe, if it's not right. Speaking of which, Li Xinwen took out a dagger and made a gesture of cutting her wrists.
Liu Xiaoge's face turned green when he saw the dagger, this method of touching the corpse was too exciting, I was still a novice and said, can you go step by step! Don't play such exciting games at the beginning, my heart can't stand it! Although there was a hundred reluctance in his heart, looking at Li Xinwen's unquestionable eyes, Liu Xiaoge still reluctantly came to the golden horn bronze coffin, looking at the small hole that could only accommodate one hand, and cold sweat came down.
Stretched out his hand, trembling down the hole and reached in. As soon as he reached in, he felt a dampness in the coffin, and slowly leaned down, and under the tension, Liu Xiaoge's whole palm was tightly clenched into a fist, and he stretched out an index finger, slowly pointing in the air.
Maybe it was because of the nervousness, but I didn't touch anything after a few clicks. Pressing a little harder, this time I really touched something, and according to the touch, I touched a sticky mass. The moment he touched it, Liu Xiaoge felt a wave of nausea, as if he had caught. Hurriedly withdrew his hand.
