22, Jade Vein Tomb Road
A black shadow the size of a thumbnail appeared on the edge of the tank, vaguely looking like a beetle from a distance, and without waiting for everyone's surprised reaction, it stretched out a thin pair of pure black wings, and flew high with a "poof", and the big head couldn't hold back and shouted: "Cockroach! β
I don't have time to tell sΓΉ big-headed cockroaches basically can't fly and can't live for that long, my heart is relaxed all of a sudden, as long as it's not the ancient corpse that comes to life, the old Wu Chang on the side let out a breath, "It's a rare corpse insect." β
"Corpse bugs?" Big Head and I asked at the same time, confused. I suddenly remembered what happened in the ancient tomb in Vietnam that Qin Weiguo once talked about, Professor Ma's death was because of this kind of corpse insect that did not seem to harm people, and my heart panicked again, imagining that I was horrified by the corpse worm laying eggs in my body, and hurriedly beckoned to the big head, and the two of them walked a few steps closely, and moved the stone slab to the urn again, at this time, I had seen several corpse insects crawling on the white bones in the tank, and quickly crushed the urn mouth firmly with the stone slab, and I was so nervous that I gasped.
Lao Wu and Blind Chen have both heard of such a thing as corpse worms, Blind Chen kept shaking his head and said stupidly: "The method of raising corpse worms has long been lost, don't look at this thing disgustingly, but it is extremely expensive, and the tomb since the Southern Song Dynasty has not been found, it seems that this tomb of the King of the South is really a ...... In the underground industry, such a tomb can take out one thing and enrich it for several generations. β
The appearance of corpse insects pieced together the clues of the ancient tomb of Vietnam thirty years ago and the tomb of King Nam in front of me, I thought to myself that King Luo Dian really knew how to raise corpse insects that hibernated for thousands of years, which also verified from the side that he was the culprit of Professor Ma who had framed him for more than 1,600 years, Qin Weiguo was just suspicious back then, but he didn't expect that the unsolved case thirty years ago inadvertently found conclusive evidence today.
More than half of the urns on both sides of the chamber have been opened, and each one is precious in terms of archaeological value alone, but these have nothing to do with the purpose of the trip. Everyone sat on the ground in the tomb and rested for a while, and as soon as I was free, my heart was like an overturned cruet, and every second of the past was slowly burned out like a broken candle.
Ten minutes later, Zhang Xuan went straight to the passage of the tomb and turned on the miner's lamp to look at it, Lao Wu and I also stood up when we saw this, stretched our heads and yawned, put our backpacks back on, turned around and hugged Chen's blind man, and muttered, "It's time to go on the road." β
I was shocked in my heart, I didn't dare to think too much of this, I secretly sighed and walked to Zhang Xuan's side, looking into the depths of the tomb, only to feel that I couldn't see it in the dark. After a slight pause, Zhang Xuan had already taken the lead in taking a few steps, and slowly walked forward while looking around.
The five of them walked out carefully all the way for a short while, and when they turned around, they noticed that Chen Blind Man had a thin and retractable guide stick in his hand at some point, which was more than a meter long, and then "clicked" rhythmically and lightly tapped the ground while walking, I couldn't bear it, Chen Blind had disabled eyes and was old, and he was a little struggling in this tomb, and said: "Old man Chen, you are afraid that the big head will throw you down, then I will help you, don't use this stick." β
The big head took a sip, "Damn, I'm not better than you, the old man is throwing stones to ask for directions." β
Blind Chen shook his head and said: "I didn't use this to explore the way, I don't know what to do in this paragraph, the more I walked, the more I felt that I was flustered, you don't have to worry about me, just do it yourself." β
Chen Blind is a cautious nature, in addition to relying on his ears and nose that are much more sensitive than normal people in the dangerous ancient tomb, his intuition is also very important, otherwise he has robbed countless tombs with a pair of invisible eyes for most of his life, and he would have long since fallen into it. Following Chen's blind man's careful actions, my heart tightened slightly, and I subconsciously held the knife firmly, and my hands and feet were stiff.
From the urn burial chamber to the present, the structure of the stone and brick on both sides has been switched several times, Zhang Xuan stopped several times to observe, and gradually began to understand, "It seems that part of the tomb road of the tomb of the king of Nanwang is also the mine of the jade mine, that is to say, the tomb of the king of the south and the jade mine are not separated from each other, but some of the original mines are repaired and connected." β
The whole mausoleum is built in the middle of an abandoned jade mine, which sounds fresh, and barely conforms to the "cave burial" of the Miao people, but the purpose is puzzling, if the mausoleum is hidden deep in the belly of Niuerling is conducive to anti-theft, or to turn waste into use, reduce the construction cost of the mausoleum, these can be explained, but I always feel that the reason is a bit far-fetched.
As he moved deeper and deeper, Zhang Xuan's discoveries gradually increased, and occasionally he could pick up small pieces of worthless jadeite crushed material, which in my opinion could only be used to grind and plane, and wear them into hand beads, and sell them to a few aunts. Although the quality is extremely poor, Zhang Xuan could not hide his excitement, saying that this is a sign of proximity to the center of the vein, and from the mining point of view, the front should be the key mining area of the main vein. I smiled bitterly, and said in my heart that tomb robbers, archaeologists, and prospectors all have their own places in the tomb of King Nan, which opened my eyes, only I am here to send him to death, and there is also the big head who plays soy sauce......
Sure enough, Zhang Xuan said, didn't go far, couldn't tell whether it should be called the mine road or the tomb road The top of the head and both sides suddenly widened, and then an irregular stone cave the size of half a basketball court suddenly entered everyone's field of vision, and looked closely, but the cave was empty, and five or six passages were distributed around like a labyrinth.
Walking into this spacious stone cave, the feet also became potholes at the same time, everyone carefully raised their feet and landed, muttering in their hearts, this tomb was built in a mess of mineral veins, I don't know which one leads to the main burial chamber of the tomb of the king of the south, and you have to get lost if you walk around.
I suddenly remembered that the human skin map given by the patriarch was still with Lao Wu, and hurriedly reminded him, and Lao Wu said "ouch", "I forgot about this stubble." As he spoke, he took out the bamboo tube from his bosom, took out the roll of human skin again, unfolded it and spread it on the ground, and everyone gathered in one place, and the lights above their heads were concentrated on the human skin map.
After two or three minutes, Lao Wu took the lead in straightening up and shaking his head, and several people could see it in the past half a day, except for the key marks on the tomb well, they were all passages that did not match the terrain in front of him, Zhang Xuan sat up straight and said, "This picture...... There is also the Miao embroidery that Mr. Chen said thirty years ago, which is probably the route to enter the mine road from the other direction, and we are equivalent to walking through the back door, following the reverse mine road, and directly finding the deliberately marked town grave by mistake. β
Old Wu suddenly raised his head when he heard this, "Where did you get this picture of the Great Patriarch?" β
Zhang Xuan and I shook our heads together, and Lao Wu's eyebrows were twisted into pimples, "The origin of this picture is different from that Miao embroidery, Miao embroidery is thirty years ago, if someone made trouble, this picture ...... It can't be that King Luo Dian made it himself and let future generations follow him to rob his tomb, right? β
