Chapter Fifty-Three: Exploring the Ancient Tomb at Night
Regarding this tomb, Ding Quan has also heard a little. As for which dynasty it is, I don't know clearly, but I heard that the owner of this tomb is not a king or a prince, and there must be good things in it.
It is said that the bearded Ding Quan's group arrived at the hotel in the afternoon of the second uncle's arrival, that is, the first day. After they settled here, the four of them left the Huaiyangmen Hotel and went to the ancient tomb.
Huaiyangmen Hotel is about ten miles away from this ancient tomb. However, because the trail is all mountainous, and it is at night, it is very difficult to walk, and it took a long time. But when they reached their destination, they were dumbfounded.
There is no monument to this ancient tomb, and it is impossible to leave a door, and a memorial arch is set up to guide you how to go, but it is coming, and Ding Quan is not reconciled, no matter what, you have to look for it, and see if you can find a place to enter the ancient tomb. So they found a little rest and spent almost a night.
It stands to reason that these four people can't even find the place to enter this tomb, let alone robbing tombs, and they don't have any knowledge of tomb robbing. But as the saying goes, a fool has a stupid life, because there are too many people around here who know about this ancient tomb, and there are many people who come here to rob the tomb, so this robbery hole has long been dug into a ready-made one, and finally let them find it by accident, which can be regarded as letting them pick up a big bargain.
Besides, these four people were excited when they discovered this thief hole, and Ding Quan still muttered in his mouth: "This is really hard work!" ”
Just as Ding Quan was about to enter the ancient tomb from the robbery cave, there was a thin man named Chuanzi, that is, when the second uncle and Liu Guanqun were having dinner in the morning, the person who complained about Ding Quan said to Ding Quan: "Brother Quan, since this hole has been dug, I estimate that everything in it is almost taken, can these people still leave some for us?" ”
This Chuanzi's sentence was to the point, and it was not until this time that Chuanzi understood that this transaction was not so simple. Since they had never been in contact with this industry before, they didn't think about many things in advance, so they didn't even think about it before they came, and they just thought about getting rich.
Chuanzi's words, Ding Quan didn't listen to it at all, he also suddenly realized in his heart, and felt that what Chuanzi said was reasonable, but then he thought about it, what if there are still things in this tomb that have not been taken, they have come from afar, and they will go back after seeing that they have all arrived at the door, and it is not like that.
Ding Quan thought for a moment and said: "This tomb is not small, since so many people have come before, no one is stupid, if it is cleaned, no one will come for a long time." I guess there's still something here, it's just hidden somewhere, and if we spend a little more time looking for it, we won't be able to leave empty-handed. ”
In fact, what Chuanzi said just now was only one of the reasons, and the main reason was that he was a little scared. Before they came, a few people swore that they would never come back if they didn't get anything, but when they really got here, they looked at the surrounding environment, plus this time period, even if they didn't believe in evil, their legs were shaking.
Chuanzi then said: "I've heard people say before that ancient tombs like this are very evil. Even if there are still things inside, I'm afraid that we have the life to go in and not to come out! ”
Ding Quan slapped Chuanzi's head after hearing this, and said angrily: "You turtle son, you retracted at the critical moment, and when you didn't come, you had more energy than anyone else, why did you coax you when you arrived here?" If you are cowardly, you can go back by yourself, and the three of us will go in, and when the time comes, don't say that Brother Quan, I won't take care of you. ”
Chuanzi really couldn't screw Ding Quan, and in the end, he could only follow them down the thief hole.
The cave wasn't very big, and they could only move forward slowly. As soon as they entered the thief cave, they felt a cool and shady wind blowing, and the four of them couldn't help but shiver.
At this time, the more Chuanzi thought about it, the more scared he became, and with this yin wind, he couldn't hold it back, and said to Ding Quan again: "Brother Quan, why don't we go back?" ”
As soon as Chuanzi's voice fell, he saw Ding Quan holding a flashlight and saying as he walked: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up." Chuanzi had no choice but to continue to walk in with the group.
A few people walked for a short time, and found a brick wall in front, but this brick wall had already been moved to a big hole, just so that people could enter.
Because of what Chuanzi said before, Ding Quan's heart was also a little hairy. Ding Quan paused at this hole in the brick wall, swallowed and spat, and made a gesture to signal the people behind him to follow.
Ding Quan cautiously walked through the hole and came to the inside of the brick wall. Once inside, it's clear that it's much more spacious than the thief cave. He subconsciously took the flashlight and looked left and right, and found that there was a brick wall in front of him, and the road in front of him led to the left and right. In other words, it's a horizontal corridor.
But which way to go, this made Ding Quan difficult. Holding a flashlight to shine around, because the light of the flashlight can't shine far, so you can't see your head left and right.
Ding Quan hesitated for a long time, and finally muttered, "Men on the left and women on the right, let's go to the left!" The three of them didn't have a score, so Ding Quan said whatever he wanted, and followed Ding Quan to the left.
A few people walked for a while and noticed that the corridor had turned a corner. When they turned this way, they found that the walls on both sides had changed a little, and there were some ancient characters written on them, and some very strange patterns, people, birds and animals, and some patterns that they had never seen at all, and they didn't know what they were.
However, Ding Quan didn't come to study these things, these things are worthless to him, the most important thing is to get a few treasures, and then leave this ghost place as quickly as possible. At this time, there was still a gloomy wind blowing in this corridor from time to time, and everyone was trembling.
Several people continued to walk along this corridor, walking and walking, when suddenly there was a downward staircase in front of them, and when they looked down the steps, they found a door in front of them. This door seemed to have been destroyed, Ding Quan looked back, and the three of them were still following closely, and motioned with his hand for the three of them to follow along.
Besides, Ding Quan at this time was even more nervous and excited than when he first entered the brick wall. Because once you get inside, something unexpected can happen at any time.
Ding Quan's steps at this time were relatively slow, although he kept saying how he didn't believe in evil, but when he came to this kind of place at this time, no matter how much he didn't believe in evil, he was also furious in his heart, and he was also worried about encountering things he didn't want to encounter.
This step is only about ten meters, and the distance of two or three meters down the stairs is the gate. At a distance of more than ten meters, the four of them walked for two minutes.
By the time the four of them walked through the door, it was a very spacious place. Ding Quan had the courage to take a look around, and found that there was something faintly in the middle, so he slowly walked towards the middle.
When I got to the front, I found that there was a big platform in the middle, which was more than two meters high and five or six meters horizontally. On top of the table is a sarcophagus.
At this time, the emotions of the four were both excited and scared. The excitement is that there is likely to be something in this sarcophagus that they want, and the fear is that there is also likely to be something in this sarcophagus that they do not want to see.
Ding Quan hesitated for a long time, and finally took out a bottle of wine from his pocket, unscrewed the cap, raised his neck and drank two large sips, wiped his mouth after drinking, and then handed the bottle to Daqiang.
"Come, brothers, take two sips first, and we'll start working after drinking. Whether the brothers can make a fortune depends on tonight. Ding Quan said to everyone with the strength of wine.
Ding Quan's heart also rose to his throat at this time, if he didn't take a sip of wine, I am afraid that he would not dare to open this sarcophagus. Daqiang three people, you drink two sips, I drink two sips, and soon drank all the bottles of wine, and casually threw the bottle in his hand to the ground, Daqiang said to Ding Quan: "Brother Quan, let's do it!" ”。
The only thing in the hands of several people is the shovel in their own hands, and if something happens, this shovel is a weapon for self-defense.
Ding Quan looked around the platform carefully, trying to find a place to go up to the platform. A few people were walking, and suddenly they felt a bad smell, and the smell was getting heavier and heavier. At first, they didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it was normal to have some flavor here, so they continued to follow Ding Quan forward.
When a few people walked to the other side of the platform, they found that there was really a step in the middle of this big platform, and several people held the shovel in their hands and followed Ding Quan to the steps.
When Ding Quan walked to the steps, he took a flashlight and almost scared the urine out, only to hear Ding Quan shout, "My mother." Then he dodged a few steps backwards, almost sitting on the ground.
It turned out that there was a dead man lying on the steps, and judging from the corpse of this man, this man must have been dead for at least a month. The corpse was already decomposed, and the light was dim, so they couldn't see it clearly.
If it weren't for the courage that I had just drunk a little wine, I am afraid that these people would have been frightened by this corpse.
After a while, Ding Quan eased his nerves, calmed down, and said to the three of them, "It's okay, isn't it just a dead man?" Since you have come to such a place, it is strange if you don't see the dead. Calm down, and when the sarcophagus on top is opened, we will be rich. ”
After all, Ding Quan is relatively bold, and the most timid here is Chuanzi. Chuanzi was already scared to pee his pants at this time, and saw Chuanzi say to Ding Quan with a slight cry: "Brother Quan, I beg you, let's go out, there is a way to get rich, this is not good to get a life." ”
It's already at this time, where does Ding Quan still have the heart to listen to what he is talking about there, Ding Quan simply ignored him, and said directly to Daqiang: "Come on, Daqiang, don't pay attention to that turtle son, he is a coward." ”
"Hmm!" Although Daqiang was also a little scared, but when he saw that Ding Quan was so calm, he was not so afraid, and ran to Ding Quan's side in a few steps, and the two walked up the steps.
But as soon as he walked two steps, he heard the sarcophagus clicking.
