Chapter 2 The Pearl of the Corpse

Under the moonlight, the four of them didn't have much effort to come to the place that might be the tomb of Princess Yiyang.

Liu Yiming measured the direction back and forth, and finally pointed to one place quite confidently and said: "Starting from here, I believe it won't take much time to dig through the princess's tomb." ”

Zhao Yiming was refreshed when he heard this, and immediately signaled Xu Shengming and Ah Liu to help Liu Yiming dig together.

Not long after, as Ah Liu's Luoyang shovel touched a dull sound that seemed to have hit the stone, Ah Liu couldn't help but cheer excitedly. The three of them took turns digging the tunnel and Xu Shengming and Liu Yiming, who were sitting underground and resting, jumped up from the ground almost at the same time, brushed the hole and rushed to the hole, Zhao Yiming also hurriedly squeezed to the hole and shone a flashlight into the hole.

Ah Liu poked his head out of the hole, stretched out two fingers and made a "V" shape, his face filled with irresistible excitement.

Taking the stone fragments handed out by Ah Liu, Liu Yiming looked at it seriously with a flashlight, and his hands trembled uncontrollably: "That's right, this brick is from the underground palace of the princess's tomb, and it is exactly the same as the bricks used in the other three burial cemeteries that I have seen in the cultural relics management that have been developed by the state." ”

At this time, Ah Liu had already climbed out of the hole, and Zhao Yiming signaled that the experienced Liu Yiming would go down to carry out the final work of opening the underground palace. Liu Yiming climbed into the tunnel with the Luoyang shovel, carefully knocked and dug for a while, and finally opened a hole.

A disgusting musty smell slowly wafted over, Liu Yiming quickly covered his mouth and nose, and crawled out of the narrow tunnel with sensitive movements, sat on the ground, and breathed in the fresh air of the night.

Xu Shengming and Ah Liu, who were on the side, hurriedly turned on the portable inflator pump and continued to press air into the tunnel. After being busy for a while, the musty smell wafting from the entrance of the cave was already very light, Liu Yiming looked at the anxious and excited Zhao Yiming: "Mr. Zhao, we succeeded." Now you can enter the dungeon, the tunnel is too narrow, you and Xu Shengming stay on it, continue to pump up and replenish oxygen in the tunnel, I will take Ah Liu down to have a look. Of all the treasures, the brother will never steal a single treasure. ”

Zhao Yiming pondered for a while, and knew that his already blessed body really couldn't get into this narrow hole, so he nodded and agreed.

Liu Yiming and Ah Liu carefully put on small objects such as flashlights, daggers, and lighters, and began to burrow into the tunnel, crawling towards the entrance of the dark and secluded underground palace leading to the tomb of Princess Yiyang.

After the two entered the underground palace, they used a flashlight to shine around, and found that the surrounding walls were full of wonderful murals of the Tang Dynasty, and they couldn't help but sigh a lot.

The grandeur of the underground palace made the two sigh, and several side rooms were filled with exquisite painted pottery and some utensils.

The two of them followed the wide corridor of the underground palace to the main tomb, and as the flashlight swept by, the resplendor in front of them made Liu Yiming and Ah Liu open their mouths wide and couldn't make a sound.

I saw two sarcophagi placed in the middle of the main burial chamber, and many jade, gold and silver jewels were placed around the sarcophagus. Ah Liu turned on the emergency light, and in an instant, the tomb was as bright as day.

Liu Yiming immediately judged that this was an ancient tomb that had not been excavated, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy in his heart, which meant that they had found an ancient tomb that contained great wealth.

Liu Yiming and Ah Liu tried to open the sarcophagus lid, but they tried several times, but they didn't push the coffin lid, so they had to give up. The two of them carefully packed the jewelry and belongings into a few cloth bags, followed the way they came, and exited the ancient tomb to the ground.

Seeing so many jewels, Zhao Yiming and Xu Shengming, who were waiting on the ground, were also stunned. After coming back to his senses, Zhao Yiming began to ask Liu Yiming and Ah Liu about the situation in the tomb.

Liu Yiming was silent on the side, and watched coldly as Ah Liu told Zhao Yiming and Xu Shengming about the situation in the palace of the princess's cemetery.

When he heard that there were two sarcophagi in the main tomb of the underground palace, Zhao Yiming was surprised, he thought that this princess tomb was just the tomb of Princess Yiyang, and regretted that he did not check the relevant information before the plan began.

Zhao Yiming looked at the silent Liu Yiming, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Liu, what are you thinking?" ”

Liu Yiming was stunned, and then understood Zhao Yiming's intentions, after all, they all got together for the sake of wealth, and in the face of such huge wealth, it is difficult to ensure that the people around them do not have ambitions and want to swallow it alone, and it is not uncommon in history of tomb robbers killing each other for profit.

Liu Yiming hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhao, according to my experience, the most valuable thing is not the items placed around the coffin, it should be buried in the coffin with the deceased." In other words, there is a bigger secret hidden in the coffin that Ah Liu and I did not push, and the real treasure should be in the coffin. ”

Zhao Yiming's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Brothers, we have worked hard to get such a great opportunity, if we don't open the coffin and only take some fur back, I'm afraid we will all regret it for the rest of our lives." ”

As soon as the words fell, the other three people, who had been stimulated by the jewels in front of them, hurriedly echoed, unanimously stating that they must not go back and leave the greatest benefits to those who come after.

Zhao Yiming smiled at Xu Shengming: "Brother Xu, with your help below, I want to combine the three of them to open the coffin and take out the treasure." ”

Xu Shengming, Liu Yiming and Ah Liu looked at each other, and each thought: With Zhao Yiming's greed, he would never trick the three of them into going down, and he would flee with these jewels by himself. The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and they all nodded in agreement.

Xu Shengming, Liu Yiming and Ah Liu went into the tunnel one after another and went to the cemetery of Princess Yiyang again.

After arriving at the main burial chamber, the strong Xu Shengming cooperated with Liu Yiming and Ah Liu, and with great effort, opened one of the sarcophagus. The corpse in the coffin had long since decayed, leaving only a pair of white bones, scattered with many jewels and a yellow gold seal. Judging from the bones, this is a male corpse, Liu Yiming guessed that this was Princess Yiyang's concubine, and this should be the tomb of their husband and wife.

Since there are so many treasures in the coffin of the horse, the more noble princess coffin must be even more valuable treasures, and the three of them are excited in their hearts.

Just as the three of them were about to work together to open another princess coffin, suddenly, after Ah Liu's hand brushed the coffin lid, he felt a trace of abnormality, and hurriedly asked the other two to inspect it together.

Blowing off the thick dust on the coffin, a line of words is clearly revealed: peony blossoms, extreme and decaying!

The three of them were puzzled, so they hurried up the time to open the coffin. A surprising scene appeared, a young and beautiful woman in ancient costume in the coffin, her face was calm and serene, without the slightest sign of decay, lifelike, like the legendary sleeping beauty. The coffin emitted a faint white light, a soft and sad light from a night pearl the size of an egg in the princess's mouth.

The three of them glanced at each other, and when they were surprised, they all understood that this night pearl was the most precious treasure in the princess's tomb.

Liu Yiming carefully took the night pearl from the mouth of the princess's corpse, and when the night pearl was just taken out of the princess's mouth, the three of them widened their eyes at the same time, only to see that the princess's beautiful appearance was rapidly undergoing great changes, and after a while, she aged terribly, like a ** zombie.

The three of them were so shocked that they couldn't care about anything else, so they hurriedly picked up the collected jewels and ran to the exit dug in the dungeon.

Crawling out of the dungeon, the three of them were still in shock, panting for breath and unable to say a word. Zhao Yiming looked at the expressions of the three people, and faintly felt a trace of ominous ominousness, and couldn't help but ask the three of them what happened.

Liu Yiming shook his head, took out the night pearl from a small leather box, and looked at Zhao Yiming as if he were fascinated.

At this moment, the moonlight slowly dimmed again, and the faces of the four of them showed a look of horror, and they didn't care about cleaning up the things on the ground, only took the jewels collected from the ancient tomb, and ran all the way.

Fortunately, nothing happened this time, but unfortunately, due to the fear in their hearts, the four people lost their way after running all the way, and some of the equipment they used for tomb robbery had been scattered, and they didn't know where they were.

In front of them, a dark and secluded deep ditch lay in front of the four people, and it seemed that they could no longer be crossed. After all, Zhao Yiming has seen the world. After panicking, after a little thought, I had an idea. He instructed everyone to rest on the spot, stop running around, and wait for the dawn to make plans if the rabbit has an accident.

Seeing the other three people gathered together in horror, Zhao Yiming took out a notebook on his body and wrote in the notebook under a flashlight that he was still carrying.
