Chapter 54: Grave Digging and Returning the Mirror
When the sky was getting dark, Qian Yiduo snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand and said to Li Bing: "Brother Li, be smart, see if anyone is around." Although this time it is also a grave digging, it is not a tomb robbery, if people find out and call the police, then the three of us will be miserable, I am afraid that we will have to spend the New Year in prison. ”
Li Bing smiled and replied in a low voice: "Then it's hard Brother Qian, Brother Zhang and I are smoking, and we are pretending to chat here to give Brother Qian a look." ”
Qian Yiduo took the military shovel and walked towards the place where he was optimistic during the day, and after a while, except for the extra pile of loess, he could no longer see Qian Yiduo's figure.
Zhang Yuanshan smiled at Li Bing and said: "Brother Li, although we are sending treasures back to the tomb this time, not robbing the tomb, do you say that there will be a large number of jewels and cultural relics in the tomb of Zhu Yuanzhang, a lady who has not passed through the door?" Will Qian Yiduo be tempted to hide secretly after seeing it? ”
Li Bing smiled slightly, spit out a smoke ring and replied: "Brother Zhang, I think there must be no jewelry in this tomb, and even if there is, Brother Qian will not dare to take a treasure privately." ”
Qian Yiduo asked curiously, "Brother Li, how are you sure?" ”
Li Bing said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang has been frugal all his life, killed many corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and even before he returned to heaven, he ordered his grandson Emperor Jianwen to make everything simple and bury him as soon as possible. So I think that the burial objects in Yan's tomb must be very ordinary, and there are not many of them. Even the bronze mirror that we are going to return to the tomb today is still very simple, not inlaid with gold and jade? ”
Zhang Yuanshan couldn't help but praise Li Bing with appreciation, Li Bing said slowly: "Look at this Yan tomb again, although it is a tomb according to the specifications of Mrs. Yipin, but from the appearance, the scale of the underground palace should be very small. And Brother Qian also whispered to me that this tomb has traces of theft. I suspect that he must have saved his strength to dig again from the passage that someone else had stolen. ”
Zhang Yuanshan's eyes widened, and he said with some annoyance: "This kid hasn't told me yet!" When he came out and went back to town, I had to ask him to invite me to drink. ”
Li Bing laughed and said: "This is as it should be, who let him hide from Brother Zhang!" Since this tomb has been stolen, the contents of the tomb must have been swept away, so I am even more certain that there will be no artifacts in this tomb! Besides, Brother Qian made that green light coffin and evil corpse so frightened that he peed his pants yesterday, even if there was anything in the tomb, would he dare to take such an evil thing? ”
Zhang Yuanshan couldn't help laughing, and Li Bing hurriedly "shhh ”
Zhang Yuanshan stopped laughing, and just wanted to light a cigarette, Qian Yiduo's low voice came from there: "It's dug through, you two come quickly!" ”
The two looked around for a while, and saw that there was no light in the dark night, so they hurriedly ran to the place where Qian Yiduo dug the grave.
Qian Yiduo snorted: "Don't worry, you go to the car and bring the bronze mirror and emergency lights, don't forget to bring a wax candle, this is just the right time to let the evil qi in the tomb disperse first." ”
Li Bing ran back to the car, took out something from the trunk, Qian Yiduo first took a wax candle, lit it with a lighter, and then stretched out to the hole.
The flame of the candle was not extinguished, but leaned into the tomb. Seeing this, Qian Yiduo extinguished the candle, looked at no one around, and whispered: "You can go in, the candle light is not extinguished, which means that there are no harmful gases in the tomb, and oxygen has been poured from the outside." ”
Zhang Yuanshan also lowered his voice and asked, "Yiduo, how can the candle be biased to the tomb?" Isn't there anything odd? ”
Without allowing Qian to answer, Li Bing chuckled and said: "Brother Zhang, that's because it's cold outside, and it's warm in the tomb. Don't worry, let's follow Brother Zhang down, there's nothing weird in it. ”
Zhang Yuanshan smiled, followed Qian Yiduo and Li Bingyu, and when his hands touched, he felt that the wet and cold on both sides of the tomb road.
After Li Bing passed through the narrow tomb passage, the soles of his feet suddenly slipped, as if he had fallen into a huge space, and his feet were suddenly cold.
Qian Yiduo turned on the emergency light, and suddenly, the snow was reflected in the tomb, and everyone saw clearly that this was a spherical tomb.
The underground of the burial chamber was full of water, which made the three of them feel so uncomfortable, and the air was filled with a ** smell, which was disgusting.
The burial chamber was cluttered all around, with broken porcelain-like objects everywhere, but in the center was a large wooden coffin.
Li Bing and Zhang Yuanshan followed Qian Yiduo, first knelt down against the coffin, bowed a few times, and then began to carefully look at the tomb.
Zhang Yuanshan suddenly screamed, as if he had stepped on something. He crouched down, scooped the thing out of the water, looked at it, screamed, and threw it out. It turned out to be a skull.
After a while, the three of them found another skeleton in the tomb, and strangely, the skeleton had something like a bamboo stick stuck in its chest. Li Bing looked at it carefully, and with a touch of his fingers, the bamboo stick suddenly broke off a few times and fell into the water on the ground of the tomb.
Li Bing looked around the tomb carefully, and said thoughtfully: "I understand, these two skeletons are tomb robbers, and the bamboo sticks on their chests are actually arrows. You see, there are many holes in the walls of this tomb, which are supposed to be the mechanisms that were built when the underground palace was built to prevent others from robbing the tomb. ”
Qian Yiduo couldn't help but open the lid of the coffin at this time, only to see that in addition to a white bone, there was also a bamboo stick inside, and he hurriedly called the two to come and see.
Li Bing looked at it for a while and said affirmatively: "This bamboo stick is not an arrow, but a bamboo flute. ”
Zhang Yuanshan and Qian Yiduo took a closer look, and sure enough, as Li Bing said, they couldn't help but admire Li Bing.
Zhang Yuanshan took out some paper money, lit it, and said to the owner of the tomb: "Niangniang, it's not that the three of them are deliberately offended, they are really entrusted by the unjust soul, so they have to trespass into the tomb and come to return the things of the mother, and ask the mother to be strange!" ”
Zhang Yuanshan and Qian Yiduo closed the lid of the coffin and bowed a few more times.
The three of them looked at the tomb for a long time, but they never found a place to place the bronze mirror.
Zhang Yuanshan looked at the two and said, "No way, let's put this bronze mirror on the lid of the coffin!" The ground is full of water, soaked in water, maybe the undead will blame us! ”
Li Bing and Qian Yiduo agreed and carefully placed the bronze mirror on the coffin lid, Li Bing untied the 'Finger Blood Heart Sutra' tied to the bronze mirror, and carefully packed it into his bag.
The three of them crawled out of the cave and sat on the grass and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Qian Yiduo stood up, filled in the hole in the tomb with the excavated soil, and then threw the excess soil into the other grass.
The three of them washed their feet covered with mud in a small ditch on the side, then got into the car, drove straight to the town, ate something indiscriminately, and bought clean clothes and shoes to change into, and then returned to the hospital.
happened to meet Shi Liya who was talking on the phone in the hospital corridor, and walked towards the ward where Zhao Wan'er was.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the ward, Li Bing heard Zhao Wan'er's scream, and before he had time to react, he subconsciously kicked open the door of the ward.
After listening to the three of them gossip, Zhao Wan'er was silent. After a while, she suddenly asked, "Brother Li, do you remember the archaeological notebook that Professor Zhang left you with his teacher?" ”
Li Bing was stunned for a moment and replied, "Of course I remember, Wan'er, what do you want to say?" ”
Zhao Wan'er asked, "Brother Li, is there a record of that Yan family's mother's hobbies in the notes?" Does she play the flute? ”
Li Bing replied: "It doesn't seem to be, it only records that although the Yan family is a beautiful lady, she can only embroider flowers and compose poems." Wan'er, what do you remember? ”
Zhao Wan'er said faintly: "Do you still remember the story that the old man told at the night stall the day before yesterday?" He said that when he was a child herding sheep, he once saw a beautiful woman in ancient costume playing the flute under the single phoenix wordless stone tablet, and then went home and was in a coma for seven days and seven nights before waking up. ”
Everyone nodded, and Li Bing suddenly said, "By the way, I told you just now that there is a bamboo flute on the bones in the coffin in the tomb." ”
Zhao Wan'er smiled weakly: "Li Bing, let's assume that I am that Miss Yan and you are Zhu Yuanzhang." We are in love, even if you are usually very frugal, when I die, will you be willing to give me some valuable items to bury with me? ”
Li Bing interrupted in surprise: "Wan'er, what's wrong with you?" Don't say anything unlucky. ”
