Zhang Xuan suddenly found a big problem, his face showed hesitation, and asked Lao Wu: "Old Wu, you just said that in ancient times, the cost of making this kind of dried corpse was very high, and it should be a very high-standard burial system, but you used this ordinary clay jar to hold the corpse...... Isn't that a bit counterintuitive? ”

This time Lao Wu asked, what archaeologists really want is not a priceless burial object, but a reasonable answer, behind every puzzle may be a great historical discovery that shocked the world. Lao Wu froze, pondered for a long time, shook his head noncommittally, picked up a small shovel and walked to the second clay jar next to him.

The sealing method of this pottery jar is exactly the same as the previous one, the movements of Lao Wu's hands are much sharper, when I and the big head lifted the second sealing slate, but I didn't expect a strange smell mixed with fishy and spicy smell straight to the end of the nose, choking I coughed again and again, and my heart was even more surprised, the things in the two clay jars with the same appearance were completely different.

Wait until the smell has dissipated for a while, and then look at the jar two or three meters apart, but inside is most of the jar of disgusting black water. Lao Wu took out a mask and brought it closer, stirred the black water inside with a shovel, a few white bones appeared from time to time, Lao Wu had seen a lot of the world, and he didn't care if he was disgusting or not, he first fished out a large handful of hair and threw it aside, suddenly screamed in surprise, put his hand into the black water, and grabbed a string of bones in his hand.

"It's a snake bone, and there's skin attached to it." Lao Wu took a few steps closer to a few of us and handed over the string of snake bones. I hurriedly waved my hand while stepping back, and said in my heart that I knew it was a snake bone, so you should let us go. The blind man Chen, who had already sat down on the ground, stretched out his hand at this time and said, "Bring it to me and touch it." ”

Even if they are half of their peers and half of their enemies, it is not easy for them to really make people realize which profession they are doing. Blind Chen took the snake bone in his hand and groped it carefully, tilted his head to think about something while his nose was inciting, and suddenly raised his eyebrows, "I remember, this is not a snake, it is a snake Gu, and a pair of short horns can be felt on the head." ”

Snake Gu? The three of them and I immediately looked at each other. I was about to speak, but I heard Lao Wu's "oops", "It's the Golden Snake Gu." It is said that this Gu is extremely difficult to cultivate, and the archaeology of Hunan has been found in a large tomb before, which is coiled in the abdominal cavity of the skeleton of the tomb owner. ”

Blind Chen nodded again and again, "Yes, this Gu is not used to harm people, someone from the south has said that this is an ancient person who swallowed a Gu egg before he was born, let it hatch in his stomach, and die in pain, but it is rumored that it can make people gather souls and ascend to heaven." It is rare to see this kind of Gu, but once this kind of Gu appears, the oil and water in the tomb will ...... Most of them were quite prominent tomb owners during their lifetimes. ”

This weird "Golden Snake Gu" makes people shudder just thinking about it, not to mention the smell of the sky in front of them. Lao Wu saw that a few of us didn't dare to get started, so he threw the bones into the jar with his own hands, and I didn't need to say much to him, so we hurriedly covered the slate, and then let out a long breath of relief.

The contradiction between the extremely high burial system and the identity of the urn burial is now becoming more and more prominent, and to use an inappropriate analogy, it is like a billionaire driving a tattered Xiali. If the owners of these two urns were great people during their lifetimes, they would have used a large jar of stoneware to hastily arrange the aisles on both sides, and it would be too unreasonable. If you insist that this is a funeral, just grab a few slaves and cut off their heads, how can you use so much financial resources to give the martyrs such a standard of treatment?

Lao Wu unwillingly opened the third cylinder, but this time he didn't even find a complete bone, and a thick layer of carbonized ash sank at the bottom of the cylinder, Lao Wu grabbed a handful suspiciously and looked at it, muttering to himself: "This seems to be a cremation, and there are a lot of powder of unknown composition mixed in it, I don't know if it was swallowed before I was born." ”

In the next half hour, five or six more jars were opened, and the shape of the urn burial was strange, some were filled with mercury from the top of the head to the soles of the feet, seeping into the skin for thousands of years without decay, showing a strange pink, and some were coated with lead up and down, and the outside was wrapped in a thick layer of pure gold powder, and the corpses were wrapped in the whole body. The most familiar thing is a jade figurine sitting cross-legged, from top to bottom with extremely expensive jadeite, gold silk jade pieces are connected, and the light shines into it. This time, even me and the big head frowned, the golden jade clothes in the Central Plains are the treatment that only the royal family can have, and the huge cost can be described as the power of the country back then, but who dares to put such a royal brother and brother into an earthen tank?

The corpses in any urn in front of him are rare to see in archaeological discoveries so far, and there are a few that even Lao Wu and Chen Blind have never heard of, but they are all regarded as decorations. The three of us didn't have so much entanglement, Zhang Xuan said with an inquiring tone: "You two look at it...... Shall we put this here for a moment? ”

The eight pairs of clay pots were already halfway open, and Lao Wu pointed to the farthest jar and sighed, "Let's open the last one...... I've really learned a lot today. ”

I have actually broken the jar and broken, it is estimated that sooner or later it will be a dead fate, I don't care what others do, people are dying and their deeds are good, just looking forward to not dragging everyone down in the end, I simply grabbed Lao Wu's shovel and started it myself, and shoveled the mud sealing on the cylinder mouth in a few clicks.

Datou and Zhang Xuan lifted the stone slab and put it aside, Lao Wu and I looked at it at the same time, this time it was an ordinary complete human bone, not as fancy as just now, but it seemed more abrupt, Lao Wu couldn't think about it, and whispered to himself: "This is an ordinary urn burial?" Impossible, right? As he spoke, he took two steps forward, intending to lean in and rummage through it.

Blind Chen suddenly made a silent gesture with a "shh This frightened me, tiptoed back a few steps, and my heart was beating "dong dong", the sensitivity of the old man's ears was not false, but there would be any suspicious movements in the jar, could it be that the skeleton that had been sealed in the urn for thousands of years was going to come back to life? Die or die...... I don't want to be scared to death.

The tomb became silent for an instant, and for half a minute, the blind man Chen did not move, and then his face changed suddenly, "Stand back, there is a voice." ”

Zhang Xuan hugged the blind man, and several people retreated very quickly, until they were five or six meters away, and the beams of several mining lamps gathered on the urn at the same time. I felt a cool breath rushing from my back, my scalp was numb, and my brain was buzzing, I didn't know how much cold sweat was oozing from my body, and the handle of the knife in my hand was slippery and greasy.
