Forty-one, a piece of jade pendant

The fat man lifted me up from the ground, turned my head and walked back to where we had come. I don't think anyone can see life and death more than he does.

"Where to go?" Hu Yong asked.

"Find a way out."

"Get out? Where else can I get out? The way to come is blocked. Hu Yong hurriedly reminded.

"I know that." The fat man said, "I want to try to climb out of that place where the quicksand was placed." ”

That's right! I thought that there should not be an iron plate in that place, and if I could make a wooden plank from it, it would be easy to get out. Saying that, the fat man lowered his head and walked back, I wanted to catch up but was stopped by the old man, he said that it was necessary to let the fat man be alone.

In this way, we walked all the way back to the place where the quicksand fell, the fat man climbed up first, and I immediately followed, the space on it was not very large, it was a layer of splint, we could not stand up and could only crawl, the splint was full of cobwebs and dust, the fat man threw the gas mask aside, picked up the butt of the gun alone and beat it on the plank, the action was more and more mechanical.

I, the old man and Hu Yong watched the fat man's movements on the sand, and I felt very uncomfortable. "Let's go and help! The current situation is counting on us to open a place from here. ”

"What about the people above? Why don't you come down and save us. I asked.

"There's a lot going on above! They have their own things, that is, we are relatively idle, otherwise they would not let us down. Hu Yong said coldly, "It's all because of your fault, your hands and feet are not sharp, otherwise it wouldn't be like this." ”

"People are dead, do you still have more meaning?" The old man reprimanded Hu Yong and said: "The current situation is not optimistic, if you say cool things again, don't blame me, the old man is not polite, my seniority is enough to teach you a lesson." ”

"Just you?" Hu Yong also seemed to have a temper, and roared loudly: "When Lao Tzu killed people, it is estimated that you have not even killed pigs, what qualifications do you have." ”

"That's enough." The fat man's voice came out, followed by the sound of the planks being overturned.

Hearing the fat man's words, Hu Yong didn't say anything more. He glared at us and climbed inside. The old man was angry, I hurriedly comforted him, and took him to climb up, and after climbing up, I only saw that the fat man dismantled the wooden block on the side, not the bottom, because the bottom was probably the cabin where the poison gas was stored, and after climbing over, we followed the hole that was knocked out by the fat man and saw that there was still a passage on our side, and there was nothing in the passage.

"It's a U-shaped passage." Hu Yong said: "Boss, it seems that this tomb road is zigzag, so you can make full use of the space." ”

After saying that, we jumped down one after another, turned on the flashlight in front of a road without a trace, only to see that the wooden wall of the road was painted with a large number of color murals, colorful, it is good-looking, giving people a sense of amazement, a feeling of amazement, this mural has been extended to the end of the road, it can be seen that the grand but small places of this mural can still see the skill of the mural painters, and the content is also very rich.

Looking at this vast mural, it seems that the whole person is in the mural, in that era, in my eyes, the chariots, honor guards, guards, and retinues are in order, sparse and dense, forming a vast "hunting map of a hundred officials"

"This is the costume of the Qin Dynasty." The old man said.

"It should be good in the Qin Dynasty." Hu Yong also said. "The colors of this mural are rich in black, ochre, yellow, red, vermilion, stone blue, and stone green, with the largest proportion of black, showing the characteristics of the Qin people who are still black, and these chariots, horses and figures fully highlight the realistic surname of the Qin Dynasty paintings."

I took a look at the murals, it is true that the pigments of the murals are mostly mineral pigments, and the techniques of the murals of the Qin Dynasty are mainly flat painted, and the lines are not emphasized, as if the method of "no bones", and there is no rendering, and the technique of heavy color figures is still in the beginning. The mural wall is generally plastered with oleander, and the wall surface is painted. These things are deeply impressed in my mind, and now when I see the mural, I suddenly think about it.

Most of the figures in the frescoes are dressed in one-piece robes, and some are already in green robes. These are the clothing styles of the Qin Dynasty.

"It seems that it is really a product of the Qin Dynasty." The fat man said, and then looked around, the place we were in now should be facing the bow of the ship from the direction we came from, and the mechanism we encountered before was at the stern, and there was probably a bend there that bent the graveyard from the stern to the bow again.

I looked ahead and sighed, "If I had known that this would have happened, we would have made a hole in the place where we came." ”

When Hu Yong heard this, he smiled contemptuously, what do you think this place is, but if you want to make a few more rounds, the boat will not sink for you.

Continuing on, within a few steps we came across an arched gate. The door is carved with a lot of vines entwined on both sides, behind the door is a very large temple, in the middle of the temple is placed a coffin of golden silk nanmu, I know that the golden silk nanmu is generally produced in the deep mountains of Hunan and Hainan in our country, the golden silk nanmu is the best wood, in ancient times, the general imperial mausoleum can afford the golden silk nanmu, it can be seen that the owner of this tomb is not a prince or a general.

Anyway, golden silk nanmu was more popular in the Qing Dynasty! I didn't expect to see it in the ancient tomb of the Tang Dynasty today. Slowly walking in, the huge tomb suddenly appeared in our light!

In the middle of the huge burial chamber is a golden silk nanmu coffin, behind the nanmu coffin are 2 brick coffin beds, I think the sarcophagus bed should be the coffin of the tomb owner and his wife, and the brick bed is the coffin of the concubine. On the wall behind the two sarcophagi are niches hanging on the walls, each of which contains more than 20 clay figurines of ladies. There is a layer of circle-like lines around the alcove, like clouds and mountains and mist, there is also a green dragon, the green dragon is up to 5 meters, the dragon tail dragon scales are clear, the dragon sits on a feather immortal, there are 2 maids holding incense burners behind the immortals, and the demeanor is elegant.

There is a pavilion painted in the cloud fairy mountain. The mural is painted with two mineral pigments, red and black, and the lines are simple and smooth, and they are completed in one go. In the distance, there are children in the attic, grass trees, pegasus, and flowing clouds.

"Vast murals, huge projects." It took a long time for the fat man to react. "You guys rest first, replenish your strength, and then we will open the coffin and then find the way."

After a few rests, Hu Yong simply covered his mouth and nose with the gas mask, pulled out the 6 coffin nails of the brick ** inner coffin one by one with a pry shovel, and then changed the pry shovel in a different direction, adjusted the angle of the shovel head according to the gap between the inner coffin and the coffin cover, and pried the lid of the inner coffin open after many strokes.

After the coffin was opened, I saw a dry corpse lying in the coffin, there was a little mud and water in the coffin because it covered the nose, so it could not smell the smell of the coffin, the whole body of the dried corpse was purple, and the bones of the body were all revealed from the purple human skin, and the death posture was to put his hands crossed in front of his chest, wearing a phoenix crown, there were several circles of gold chains around his neck, there was a beautiful jade on his chest, but there was nothing on his hands, a copper pillow was pillow under his head, and there were some clothes and jewelry beside him.

Fengzhu hairpin, purple jade plate, gold scale belt, Yingluo circle, blood jade bracelet, and all kinds of female surname jewelry in the coffin. The fat man took out a piece of phoenix hairpin stained with black water from the coffin, wiped it on his clothes, looked at it and threw it to Hu Yong. "What kind of bead is this?"

Hu Yong was stunned for a moment and said: "There are five phoenixes on the hairpin, each of the five phoenixes contains pearls, and these beads in the mouth are all special-shaped beads, each of them is different from the round, with water droplets and rice grains. But. ”

"But this bead seems to be a sea pearl?" The old man peeled off a bead from the hairpin and put it in the palm of his hand, but after a long time I saw a little water floating out of the palm of the old man's hand. "It's something that absorbs water, filters water, and secretes water. It's peculiar! ”

"yes!" I nodded, "Pearls are an ancient organic gemstone, and it is impossible to do this. ”

"This kind of thing is very common, but some mussels are rare." As he spoke, the old man looked righteous and put the pearls into his pocket one by one.

The next coffin was also full of such burial objects, but such a water-secreting pearl was never seen again. The last coffin is the main coffin, that is, the golden silk nan wood coffin, according to Hu Yong and the fat man, it is generally opened from the secondary coffin, and then the main coffin, because this must allow us to fully understand the form here.

"Looks like there won't be a mechanism." Hu Yong said, he leaned on his stomach and pried the coffin one by one, and when the coffin was pried open, what we saw was a well-preserved corpse. And the coffin is unusually dry, not like the wooden coffin in other places, there are a lot of corpse water, corpse skin, and corpse insects in the coffin, and the wooden coffin in front of you is as if it has just been buried. A layer of black skin is attached to the skeleton, although the skin is not as full as before his death, but the current appearance is also easy to identify the man's appearance.

Hu Yong checked all corners of the coffin and found no embalming utensils, not even a little burial goods.

"It's a little weird." The fat man said, "There is definitely something wrong with dying without rotting." ”

Soon Hu Yong dragged the jaw of the male corpse, gently squeezed the corpse's mouth open, and suddenly a jade pendant fell out of the male corpse's mouth, and then we saw that the male corpse's skin changed rapidly.

Hu Yong took this jade pendant in his hand, looked at it, handed it to the fat man, the fat man's face changed, put the jade pendant in my hand, and said to me: "You put this thing away." ”

"Put it away?" I was still wondering how there could be anything associated with me, when suddenly the whole hull shook violently. Then there was the sound of the waves crashing against the hull.

I hurriedly put away the jade pendant and squatted there against the wall, "What's the matter?" ”

"The waters are unstable."

"Then we're going out." Hu Yong suddenly began to vomit and diarrhea in the swaying tomb.

This guy actually got seasick. I thought to myself, but what is the cause of this shaking? Could it be that the boat is about to capsize? No, no, no, you must go out. But how do you get out? I hurriedly looked at the fat man, but the fat man did not look in a hurry, and he kept looking at his watch while fishing out the jewelry from the coffin.

How can this guy still have the heart to look at the watch? I was a little puzzled and lowered my head to look at my watch, only to realize that a red dot in the positioning system on our watch was above us, "It turned out to be the positioning system." I thought to myself, "People on top of this thing will naturally find us." ”

Not surprisingly, the deck above us was soon lifted, and a flashlight shone in: "I didn't think there was a tomb down there!" The voice of dawn came.

"How's it going up there?" The fat man asked.

"Boss, come up and see for yourself." Saying that, Dawn threw a rope ladder down, and the fat man and I climbed up to the deck one after another. I moved my neck and raised my head with great effort, and there was no trace of the rocks on the mountain wall in the distance, and there was only a waterfall of blue yellow spring pouring straight down through a hole above, and with the light scattering in, I found that only here was a drop of light in this sea area, and the water flow that seemed to be the Milky Way falling straight down for nine days. Under the impact of water, light and water form a unique firework. And in the distance, the planes of clouds and water intertwine in a line at the end of the light, endlessly.

"Yin drives the keel ship, and the sky falls into the Yellow Spring Sea." The old man and the fat man suddenly said together: "This is the real Sea of Yellow Springs (Shennong's Relic Sea)." ”

However, at the junction of the waterfall and the light and shadow in front of it, a floating coffin was quietly locked there, and after countless years of water washing, the pattern on it did not change at all, and the iron rope of refined copper did not have a trace of rust. (To be continued.) )
