Chapter 22: The Tomb of Liu Bowen

However, the board on the side was not happy, and he complained to the third uncle: "Third brother, why don't we switch the tasks, I don't like to deal with those sinister guys in the family the most." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

The third uncle said categorically: "No! There are eldest and second brothers in the clan, and if you have anything to deal with, you can find them, and this matter is decided. “

Ban Cuntou knew the temper of the third uncle, and seeing that this matter was not negotiable, he had to say discouragedly: "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”

The third uncle nodded with satisfaction, turned back to a few of us and said, "You are also tired for a day, after eating something here later, you can rest early, and we will leave early tomorrow morning." ”

After chatting in the tent for about half an hour, the third uncle's subordinates brought hot noodles, and the ingredients were eggs and the old godmother. For me, Biaozi and Tan Jia, who haven't eaten anything since breakfast, this is undoubtedly a good dinner, although the taste is a little weird.

The standard ate the fastest, and quickly finished the big pot of noodles, probably because he was eating, this guy said that his stomach hurt, and then he took the toilet paper and ran out of the tent quickly.

After a while, the mark came back, and while touching his bulging belly, he asked the third uncle curiously: "Third uncle, how many people did you bring this time, why didn't you see a few people outside?" ”

The third uncle was relieved of the chopsticks in his hand, and said with a sigh: "I brought more than fifty people here, and most of the dead are in that yin and yang cave, and now there are more than a dozen people left." ”

Our faces changed color, you must know that the third uncle's subordinates are not weak, except for the pockmarks who made a stumbling block from it, no matter how dangerous the ancient tomb was before, there were no such heavy losses, and I don't know what kind of danger the third uncle encountered this time, and he actually lost so many subordinates.

There are some things I wanted to ask the third uncle for a long time, so I asked: "What is going on, why is Tianshi not in Liu Bowen's tomb, but in this barren mountain and wilderness?" ”

When the third uncle heard me ask, he seemed to think of something extremely angry, he snorted coldly and scolded: "All this is a long story, in short, it is a ghost made by Liu Bowen, an old horseman, it is extremely hateful!" ”

Biaozi's curiosity is the greatest, knowing that there must be something strange about this matter, he said to the third uncle flatteringly: "The third uncle will dissipate his anger first, you can talk to us well, how is this Liu Bowen not a thing." ”

This matter started three months ago, when Biaozi and I went to Nanga Bhava Peak.

At that time, we went to Tibet to look for holy water, and the third uncle was not idle, knowing that Liu Bowen had taken the key to the Tianshi, so he planned to go to Liu Bowen's tomb to find clues.

The third uncle attached great importance to the Wenzhou party this time, and also knew that the people above were watching very closely, in order not to arouse the suspicion of the above, the people he brought this time were all Chinese, and they were also family members who had been hidden in various parts of China for a long time.

The third uncle contacted a total of sixty-five family members, including him and Ban Cuntou, a total of sixty-seven people.

If such a large team gathers together, it will naturally be particularly eye-catching, so the third uncle decided that everyone did not have to join him and went to Liu Bowen's hometown Nantian Town by himself.

The third uncle and Ban Cuntou rushed to Nantian Town with a few subordinates in the first batch, and after waiting for three days, the rest of the family also arrived one after another, and the plan to steal Liu Bowen's cemetery officially began.

Liu Bowen's cemetery is a national key protected cultural relics unit, no matter day or night, there are relevant personnel to patrol, want to avoid the eyes and ears of these people to enter the cemetery to rob the tomb, it is obviously impossible.

There was no way, so the third uncle had to find someone to pretend to be a tourist and go to the cemetery to conduct a field survey and find out the specific location of Liu Bowen's tomb. After a week of hard work, the third uncle's subordinates finally drew a structural map of the cemetery, and after discussion, the third uncle planned to enter Liu Bowen's tomb from a hidden hill outside the cemetery.

The place where the robbery hole was made was more than 400 meters away from Liu Bowen's tomb, and under normal circumstances, with the means of the third uncle, it was estimated that the robbery hole would be dug in ten days and half a month. However, there are a lot of local tourists, although the place where the robbery hole is dug has been very remote, but from time to time there are also tourists passing by in twos and threes, in view of this, the third uncle decided that the work of the robbery hole can only be carried out at night.

In this way, the speed of digging a thief hole will be half slower, but it is more important to be safe.

One night a month later, the robbery hole leading to Liu Bowen's tomb was finally successfully opened, and the third uncle was happy and immediately entered the robbery hole.

Everything went even more smoothly than the third uncle imagined, they didn't encounter any mechanism when they opened the tombstone, and there were no accidents, and they easily arrived in the tomb.

Everything in the tomb is also simpler than the third uncle imagined, there is no ear room, no corridor, only a main tomb chamber of less than fifty square meters, and the height is only three meters. There is a small burial pit in the burial chamber, which is full of worthless things, of course, the third uncle did not come for the burial goods in the burial chamber.

Behind the burial pit is a white stone platform, on which Liu Bowen's coffin is quietly placed. The coffin is a wooden structure, painted with a thick layer of red insect repellent paint, and there are some simple carvings on it, which looks very ordinary.

When the third uncle walked over to take a closer look, he was surprised to find that what was on the stone platform was not actually a coffin, but an authentic coffin, but it looked like a coffin.

Before coming to Liu Bowen's tomb, the third uncle had done a detailed investigation and knew that Liu Bowen did not like luxury in his life, so whether it was a mansion or a cemetery after death, it was built very simply, so he was not surprised that there was a coffin without a coffin.

Ordered someone to take out the iron nail on the coffin, lifted the lid of the coffin and looked inside, the third uncle found that Liu Bowen's body was quite well preserved, and there was not even the slightest sign of decay, as if he was a living person.

In such a humble environment, where neither the burial chamber nor the corpse has undergone special treatment, how can the corpse remain undecomposed for hundreds of years? The third uncle felt very strange.

After a closer look at the corpse, the third uncle found something unusual, that is, the color on the skin of the corpse was wrong, it turned out to be cyan, as if it had been poisoned.

The third uncle suddenly reacted, in order to keep the body from decomposing after death, some people in ancient times often began to drink a moderate amount of extremely toxic mercury when time was running out. By the time the person actually dies, the toxicity of mercury has spread throughout the body because of long-term use.

The corpse contains mercury, which can not only play a role in embalming, but also play a role in preventing insects, even if the body is buried in the ground for thousands of years, it will not necessarily decay. It's just that the pain of taking mercury before death, how can ordinary people tolerate it? Therefore, there are very few people who can really be ruthless and do this to themselves.

The third uncle suspected that the reason why Liu Bowen's corpse did not decompose may also be because he drank a lot of mercury before his death, but Ban Cuntou did not think so, he pointed out the suspicion and said: "Third brother, we have seen the corpse infused with mercury before, although it maintains the characteristics of not decaying, but the whole corpse is atrophied and deformed due to the loss of moisture, and the color is also black and brown, which is similar to the appearance of a dried corpse and an Egyptian mummy. ”

Speaking of this, Ban Cuntou poked the epidermis of Liu Bowen's palm with his fingers, and continued: "You see, Liu Bowen's corpse is not much different from the person who just died in appearance, even the muscles of the corpse are elastic, and the corpse infused with mercury cannot achieve such an effect at all. ”

The third uncle felt that there was some truth in what Ban Cuntou said, so he asked him to continue.

Ban Cuntou didn't know what he thought, a look of vigilance appeared on his face, and he questioned: "Third brother, did you say that Liu Bowen's body has become a zombie?" How else could it be like this? ”

The third uncle didn't think about it, and immediately vetoed: "Impossible! Liu Bowen is a strange man in feng shui, and this cemetery was also selected by him, and it is a rare treasure place, called Jiulong to grab pearls, how can it be a place to raise corpses? If Liu Bowen couldn't even tell the place where the corpse was raised, wouldn't he have won the title of the first strange person in feng shui in the Ming Dynasty for nothing? ”

After thinking about it, he felt that what the third uncle said was right, so he let down his guard. It's just that he is still very curious, and he doesn't understand what happened to Liu Bowen's body, which can be preserved so well.

The third uncle said: "The color of Liu Bowen's corpse is obviously a little wrong, even if it is not injected with mercury, it must be embalmed with other powerful poisons, there is no need to question this." ”

Connecting with this joint, the third uncle and Ban Cuntou went to see the rest of the coffin.

Liu Bowen is really extraordinarily incorruptible, and at a glance, except for a few good-looking jade pendants placed next to the corpse, there are no other funeral items, let alone the legendary Tianshi Key.

The third uncle was a little unwilling, and at the same time very curious, so he said to Ban Cuntou suspiciously: "Why is Tianshi not here, is our guess wrong, Tianshi has been given to Zhu Yuanzhang by Liu Bowen?" ”

Ban Cuntou also felt very strange, so he said: "Third brother, did Liu Bowen get the Heavenly Stone in the tomb of King Dian or not, we don't have any evidence to prove at all, all this is just your guess, could it be that you got the wrong object from the beginning?" ”

The third uncle thought carefully about the whole process of Liu Bowen's tomb robbery plan, and said: "My guess should not be wrong, except for Liu Bowen, the tomb of the King of Dian has only been visited by our group of people, if he didn't take the Tianshi, who else would be?" ”

Ban Cuntou was suspicious: "What you said is not right, I remember that you told me afterwards that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent a large army to the tomb of King Dian, have you forgotten this matter?" (To be continued.) )
