I hurriedly stopped him and stopped Lantern Xiao's hand, "What do you want to do?" ”

Lantern Xiao looked at me indifferently, "What, I'll see what's going on, why do you want to block his eyes." ”

"Can you settle down," I said, "we're just here to take a look, not to fight, we don't have any equipment with us, and even this broken flashlight is running out of power." Besides, it's just the two of us, if something really happens, we can't deal with it at all! ”

Lantern Xiao looked at me, "Zhuo Ran, you relax, what's wrong with the two of us?" Didn't we retreat from the ghost hitting the wall just now, don't look down on yourself! Besides, I came here with you this time, I didn't get any benefits, and I almost died, so you can tell me, just after falling, I fell a few times! ”

"Holy!" I said in my heart that this kid actually knocked on me at this time, "You are falling, you blame me!" ”

Lantern Xiao was serious, "That's not it, I don't come with you, I'm in the store with Sisi, how good I am." I don't want to ask you for compensation, you have to give it to me if you meet something good, right? ”

I pursed my lips, "Okay, don't be shameless, and talk to Sisi Qingqing and me, do you think Sisi will take care of you?" ”

Lan Xiao rolled her eyes, "Anyway, I think these two flakes may be two pieces of ancient jade." Isn't it buddy, can you not fight with me! Besides, what are you afraid of, now it seems that the corpse is obviously not corpse, even if you take the things off his eyes, there is nothing to be afraid of, are you still afraid that he will stare at you to death?! ”

In fact, thinking about it, what Lantern Xiao said was not completely unreasonable, I waved my hand angrily, "Yes, yes, for you!" Be careful, when the time comes, this senior will chase you to your house! ”

"Phew!" Lantern Xiao spatted while happily going to get the two thin slices.

And at the moment when Lantern Xiao picked up the flakes and revealed the corpse's eyes, we were all startled, and Lantern Xiao's hands shook, and the flakes almost came off.

We saw that the location of the corpse's eyes was completely empty, and his eyes were not known to have been gouged out.

Without the two flakes to cover it, the two black holes on the corpse's face looked directly at us, which was really chilling, and I didn't even dare to look at it directly.

"Holy! Why doesn't this man have eyes! After Lantern Xiao finished speaking, he couldn't wait to turn his head and put the two flakes in front of him and study them carefully. But he looked at it for a while, and suddenly sighed, "Alas, I didn't expect it, I saw it wrong, this is not Gu Yu at all, these are two bones, it looks like it should be a cow bone." "But Lantern Festival can still comfort itself," there are some patterns engraved on it, and it is estimated that it is worth a few dollars, at least you can report the round-trip air ticket. ”

I gloated and looked at the Lantern Festival, and then took the two pieces of beef bones in my hand and looked at them, when I saw the pattern on the cow bones, I was immediately shocked, I seem to have seen this pattern. I quickly took the water bottle out of my bag, poured out some water, and cleaned the dirt on the bones.

I rubbed these two pieces of beef bones on my clothes hard, and this time the patterns on them were much clearer, and when I looked at them, my head immediately buzzed.

This pattern, I am too familiar with, it is the pattern like a little turtle that the second uncle once left in the ancient country of Shan Huan, and this time, we have also seen such a pattern on the stone tablet left by Xu Fu in the warehouse of the second uncle's company. Unexpectedly, now I have encountered it here again.

I couldn't help frowning, what does this pattern mean, and why does it appear in so many places!

When Lantern Xiao saw my face change abruptly, she asked, "What's wrong?" ”

I handed him the cleaned cow bone in my hand, and Lantern Xiao took it in my hand and looked at it carefully, and was immediately surprised, "I didn't pay attention just now, I didn't expect the pattern on it to be this, could it be that the purpose of Xu Fuli's stone monument or the construction of the land temple has something to do with this?" ”

I nodded, "Possibly, but I don't know if all the corpses here are like that." ”

Lantern Xiao didn't answer my words, but carefully searched the inside of the coffin, and I knew that Lantern Xiao must be searching for the artifact again.

I said to Lantern Xiao: "Don't look for it, when you see that the people buried here are some poor people, we should also rob the rich and help the poor!" ”

Lantern Xiao reached out and untied a bracelet made of various colored stone chips from the wrist of the dry corpse, and then shook it at me, "I'm not taking advantage of the fire to rob, they are already dead, and it's useless to keep these things, this situation is not a robbery of the rich and helping the poor, but I am also a poor person, this is even if the poor help the poor!" ”

Lantern Xiao handed me her harvest, "Hey, do you think this thing can be valuable?" ”

Since I majored in ancient civil engineering technology, I also have a certain understanding of the cultural characteristics of various periods and regions in Chinese history. I can't estimate the actual price of this kind of thing, but I can roughly estimate the age in which it was found.

I took the bracelet in the hand of the Lantern Festival, put it under the flashlight and looked at it carefully, judging from the decoration and production process on it, I think this bracelet must be very old, because I don't remember seeing anything similar. But whenever this happens, it is most likely something from the pre-Qin period.

The reason why I say this, then I have to complain about Qin Shi Huang, because due to Yingzheng's book burning and Confucianism, a large number of documents and materials of the pre-Qin Dynasty were lost, resulting in a large amount of history and culture before the Qin Dynasty, which we have no way of knowing. However, I judged according to the method of elimination, this bracelet is not something after the Han Dynasty, and it is worn on the hand of a corpse, and it cannot be a modern fake, so it can only be something from the pre-Qin era.

I returned the bracelet to Lantern Xiao, "This thing, it's a little embarrassing, people who know the goods may have a high price, but people who don't know the goods, it's possible to say that you are a fake, so when it's time to make a move, it's better to find a reliable buyer." ”

Lantern Xiao sneered, "It's the same as if you didn't say it." However, I think it's better to see a few more for this kind of thing. ”

I know that he is still thinking about opening other coffins, so I don't bother to dwell on such a topic with him,

We soon realized that we were in a cave inside the mountain, and this cave was very large, and these huge coffins were arranged in a regular manner.

After that, we immediately selected a few coffins and opened them one after another.

We found that each of the corpses in these coffins had their eyes gouged out and then all covered with two cow bones engraved with that strange symbol.

This situation makes me even more curious, why were their eyes gouged out after they died? What kind of people are buried here? What do they have to do with this symbol, and the key is what exactly does this symbol represent?

Lantern Xiao thought for a while and said: "I remember reading some information before, some famous ethnic groups such as the Miao people in Guizhou seem to have the custom of cave burial. Could this also be the burial ground for these ethnic minorities? ”

At first glance, I thought that the Lantern Festival speculation was still reasonable, but after thinking about it carefully, I still shook my head, "I once understood the cave burial customs of these minority ethnic groups in Guizhou, and the coffins in their cave burial places are generally stacked on top of each other, or the coffins are erected with a tic-tac-toe wooden frame. Moreover, the clothes of these dried corpses in the coffins we see do not match any of our current minority races, and I suspect that this is an extinct and vanished people. ”

"A people who have vanished?" While looking for the artifact that could be taken away from the coffin, Lantern Xiao asked, "What kind of nation could it be?" ”

"That's not a good way to say," I said, "that the Chinese nation has been civilized for thousands of years, and there are too many nations that have been swallowed up by the long river of history." ”

Lantern Xiao found some valuable artifacts from these open coffins, "Zhuo Ran, I found that these coffins, the closer they are, seem to be older. ”

Listening to Lantern Xiao's words, my brows were furrowed, "In this way, the last group of people buried here are the ones on the most marginal, according to my estimates, they probably belong to the pre-Qin, so in this way, no one from this nation has come since the pre-Qin, which can only show two situations, the first is that they have migrated as a whole." Second, it was this nation that became extinct in the period around the pre-Qin period. ”

Lantern Xiao seems to have found its own treasure, countless coffins, and on average, each coffin has one or two good artifacts, and the most important thing is that each coffin is easy to open. In Lantern Festival's own words, it's like going to the supermarket, and you don't charge money back!

Lantern Xiao was overjoyed, and her two eyes narrowed into a line, quickly shuttling between these coffins.

However, after he opened a few more coffins, I stopped him, "Lantern Festival, it's almost over, you can't open every coffin, and," I looked at the countless coffins lying there quietly, "This kind of thing, you can't be greedy, just accept it when you see it!" ”

Maybe it was a coincidence, but as if to cooperate with me, as soon as my words fell, a cold wind suddenly blew in this cave where we were. The two of us shuddered involuntarily.

Lan Xiao was stunned, and then swallowed her saliva, "I think you have a point, this time I have gained a lot." As he spoke, he patted his bag.

I shook the flashlight in my hand, and at this time the light of the flashlight was a little darker, and I said to Lantern Xiao: "We have taken everything we should take here, and we have also seen what we should see, after all, we are not studying national history." Let's take a look further and if we find nothing special, let's get out as soon as possible. ”

Lantern Xiao raised her hand and made an OK gesture for me.

We walked between the coffins and continued to walk deeper into this huge cavern. As we walked along the gap between the coffins, I noticed a problem, the regular coffins seemed to be arranged in a spiral pattern, converging towards the very center of the cave.
