Chapter 134: The Ghost Blows Out the Lamp

I opened my eyes and found that they had found the real tomb under the empty stone chamber.

I thought to myself that these two heartless tomb robbers had taken a shit luck, and they actually discovered the mechanism in the stone chamber. The mechanism was found in a corner at the top of the stone chamber, by a tall bald head.

In the middle of the stone room, there was a black hole hole down the road, the two tomb robbers were lying on the side of the road excitedly, the thin man boasted his bald head vigorously, the bald head was also very excited, and his voice was as loud as a cow: "Although the treasure has not been found yet, we can dig up this eunuch tomb, which is worth the trip."

The bald head came and dragged me into the corridor, and two minutes later we came to another large stone chamber with a large coffin in the middle of the stone chamber, and many burial goods in the stone chamber.

Looking at the funeral goods around him, the bald head and the thin man had an expression of wanting to die.

The thin man said: "You are right, the treasure under that Taoist temple is not known to be true or false, and the one we found is real." Wang Fatzi They said that they want to compare with us, to see who finds the treasure first, I don't think there is a need to compare now, let's find the tomb of the eunuch tomb this time, the burial goods must be antiques from the Ming Dynasty, and when the time comes, just take out one, it is enough for Wang Fatzi to be red for a long time."

"It's also our luck, the security of the Ming Tombs was originally quite strict, if it weren't for the rumors of the treasure that attracted so many peers, the livestock in the cemetery security office were too busy, and we wouldn't have found this tomb so easily" The bald head said excitedly, "Thank you for the blessing of Master Zu"

I listened to it in horror, listening to the tone of the bald head and the thin man, this tomb should be the tomb of a certain eunuch in the Ming Dynasty, which is part of the Ming Tombs. The Ming Tombs are world-famous, and the government's protection of these key cultural relics must be in place. And they dared to dig tombs and steal treasures in Tianshou Mountain, because there were many tomb robbers in Tianshou Mountain at the moment, which made the protection of the Ming Tombs by the cemetery security department missing

And what irritated my nerves even more was the treasure under the Taoist temple mentioned in the mouth of the thin man

Temples?

What is a Taoist temple? Does it have anything to do with the Taiyi view?

I was in a mood on the side, there were many doubts in my heart, I didn't care about what tomb robbery and what treasures, I just wanted to find Taiyiguan and help Xiaobai get back his memory, so between the words of the bald head and the thin man, I inserted it stiffly: "Both, can I ask a question?" ”

The bald head looked at me with an unkind face: "What do you want to ask?" ”

Ignoring the bald man's fierce eyes, I asked calmly, "I want to ask, the treasure you just talked about...... Don't get me wrong, I'm not interested in treasures, I heard you say that the treasure is under what Taoist temple, what is the name of that Taoist temple, can you tell me? ”

The thin man squinted at me and asked vigilantly, "Why are you asking this?" Are you a peer? ”

I hurriedly said, "No, no, I just want to know if that Taoist temple is called Taiyi Temple?"

The bald head was about to say something to me, but the thin man patted him and said, "Don't pay attention to this kid, let's get things first" and then glared at me fiercely, "You kid stay and don't move, or I'll kill you"

I closed my mouth in amusement and didn't pursue any more questions.

The thin man said again: "Bald head, you go to the southeast corner and light a candle"

The bald head walked to the southeast corner of the burial chamber and squatted down and lit a candle on the ground. I looked at the burning flame of the candle, and a strange feeling rose in my heart, and I couldn't help but ask, "You lit this candle, could it be the meaning of the ghost blowing the lamp?" ”

The thin man sighed, looked at me with blazing eyes and said, "You dare to say that you are a passerby, you even know the secret of ghosts blowing out lanterns, and you must be a person on the road."

I was really speechless, thinking that "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" sung by the world is so famous, I know what is so strange. It is written in the book that people light candles, ghosts blow out lamps, which means that when entering the ancient tomb, a candle is lit in the southeast corner, and then the coffin can be opened. It is a covenant between the living and the dead, and it cannot be broken.

Now that the bald man and the thin man have lit the candles, I am a little confused. Could it be that what is written in "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is true? Or were the two tomb robbers affected?

"Two, are you touching the golden captain?"

Captain Touching Gold is one of the four major tomb robberies in "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", and the taboo of ghost blowing out the lamp comes from this school.

The bald head glared at him and said, "What touch Captain Jin?" I've never heard of you kid shut up, stop talking crooked, it's annoying."

I thought to myself, if you bother me, then let me go, and I feel like I'm bored in the tomb

However, listening to the tone of the bald head, it seems that he has not watched "Ghost Blowing the Lamp". And the two of them know such a forbidden secret technique as ghost blowing out the lamp, and it seems that the truth is true and false, and it is really difficult to say.

After lighting the candles, the bald head and the thin man began to study the burial goods in the burial chamber with confidence.

They are all genuine Ming Dynasty antiques, and the bald head and thin man have bright eyes, and the more they look at it, the more excited they become. After a long time, the thin man slowly regained his composure, patted the bald head holding a porcelain vase and said, "Open the coffin." ”

In the middle of the tomb is a large black coffin, according to them, it should be buried in a eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, the eunuch who can be buried in the imperial tomb will not be an unknown eunuch, it must be a big man who has left a name in the history books, but I don't know who it is.

Seeing that they were going to open the coffin, I felt a little uneasy and unbearable.

Generally speaking, the step of opening the coffin is a very dangerous part of the tomb robbery process. No one knows what will be in the coffin, whether the corpses that have been left for hundreds of years will be transformed into zombie meat dumplings. No one knows if the coffin will touch the mechanism in the ancient tomb when it is opened, and suddenly arrows shoot from the earthen wall of the tomb, shooting us into a sieve.

So I'm uneasy.

A eunuch who can be buried in the imperial mausoleum cannot be a bad eunuch, and he must have done something good to make people communish, so he will be allowed to be buried in the royal mausoleum. Such a good eunuch who has left a name in the history books will be opened and exposed by tomb robbers in later generations.

So I can't bear it.

Author's note: The Ming Dynasty produced many great eunuchs who had been infamous for thousands of years, such as Wang Zhen, Wei Zhongxian, etc., but there were also many good eunuchs who played an active role in history. Regarding the eunuch buried in the Ming Tombs, his name is Wang Chengen, who is the eunuch of Chongzhen. Chongzhen, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, hanged himself on the locust tree in Jingshan when the country was broken, and Wang Chengen accompanied Chongzhen to hang himself on the begonia tree next to him. Emperor Shunzhi of the Later Qing Dynasty thanked Wang Chengen for his loyalty and buried him outside the Siling Tomb of Emperor Chongzhen and asked him to guard the imperial tomb. The eunuch was buried in the imperial mausoleum, which can be said to be almost unique in Chinese history.

I couldn't bear it, so I decided to do something to stop them from opening the coffin, such as coughing.

"Ahem" I coughed heavily, this is the code I agreed with Xiaobai, it's time for her to appear.

The candle in the southeast corner of the chamber shook twice, and then suddenly went out, and the whole chamber became much darker than before, except for the faint light of the flashlight in the hands of the bald head and the thin man.

"Damn, the ghost blew the lamp," I shouted deliberately.

I'm located far away from the candles, so don't worry about them suspecting me. Through the bright light of the flashlight, I noticed that the bald head and the thin man's face suddenly turned pale, and the bald head trembled his lips and said, "Old... What does the boss do now? ”

The thin man was silent and did not speak, holding a dirty porcelain vase in his hand, and a hesitant expression on his face.

"You... We... All... Get... Dead ......" At this moment, a faint ghost voice sounded in the tomb, and a miserable white hand slowly stretched out from the coffin.

"Ah, retreat, retreat, retreat" The thin man's face was distorted in fright, he threw the porcelain bottle in his hand, and ran to the side of the road.

The bald head glanced at me and hesitated, "That... What about the kid? ”

The thin man's panicked voice came from the Yongdaokou: "It's important to escape, you care if he dies"

The bald head turned around and fled into the corridor.

After a while, I listened to the silence in the corridor, and thought to myself that they were so frightened that they should not dare to come back.

In a panic, the bald head and the thin man even lost their flashlights, and there was a faint light in the tomb.

The white-clothed female ghost Xiaobai sat on the coffin in the middle with a pair of white legs crossed, looking at me gloatingly.

"Chen Shen, I saved you again, and you owe me another life"

Although my hands and feet were tied, I was not very careful when I tied my bald head, and I tied it very casually, so it took me a while to break free, and after listening to the little vernacular, I picked up the flashlight on the ground and said: "People say that you don't have to worry if you have more debts, and I have been saved by you many times, and I am used to it." Anyway, I owe it to you, so let's pay it back slowly if you have a chance."

I glanced at Xiaobai's long legs, and saw that she couldn't stand up on the coffin lid, so I said, "Are you going to spend the night here?" I'll have to go, in case someone from the cemetery security department finds out and I'm arrested as a grave robber."

Xiaobai sneered and said, "What is wrong? You're a grave robber, what's your glare? Do you dare to say that you haven't robbed a tomb? ”

"Good men don't fight with women," I said, and crawled out of the two burial chambers.

When I went outside, I saw the starlight and the night was vast, and I felt more and more depressed when I was in the tomb just now.

Xiaobai also came out of the tomb and stood beside me, "I thought about which way that fork in the road just now went, should we continue to move forward?" ”

I looked back at the hole in the ground, thought about it, re-covered it with the wooden board on the side, and then walked back: "This tomb has been dug up by tomb robbers, I think I have to call the police first, let the people from the cemetery security come to protect it, let's do this first"

I was worried that the bald man and the thin man would come back, so I walked far away to find a tree and leaned on it for a while.

The next morning, I called 110 to call the police and told them that I had found a pit on Tianshou Mountain, and that there was a tomb under the pit, and asked them to come quickly.

Soon the police came, and I told them that I had accidentally discovered the pit, and they did not suspect it, but as a matter of routine, I needed to go back with them to take notes.

I am also a police officer, so I naturally cooperate with them, so I followed them back, and it was almost noon when I came out of the police station and was about to go to lunch, but I didn't expect to meet a person.

An acquaintance, a person I would never have imagined to meet in Beijing
