Chapter 182: The Golden Head Emperor (II)
Although Xu Tianchuan is not a member of the Touching Gold Sect now, he has the inheritance of General Youtian, and he may be able to become the strongest spokesperson of the Touching Gold Sect in the future......
"Shopkeeper Xu, the candles are placed, do you pry them directly?"
After Jiao San put the candle away, he pulled out his probe claws from his body by the way, and his face was full of excitement and excitement that he was eager to try.
The highest golden coffin, the burial goods inside can be freely imagined.
"Hmm"
Xu Tianchuan looked at Jiao San and nodded, so there was no need to go through the other procedures.
Xu Tianchuan is basically 100% sure that there will definitely be no more danger before the coffin is opened.
As for whether a zongzi will jump out of it, that's two things.
Because this coffin uses multiple layers of coffin covers, and the sealing is very good, there is a great possibility that the corpse will be preserved and will not decompose.
But for such a thing as opening the coffin, Xu Tianchuan also has to take action, because there is a systematic task on his body, and letting others open the coffin will definitely not be counted as a reward.
The three of them came to the front of the golden coffin and looked at the coffin tightly wrapped in gold skin, without any gaps.
These gold skins are inlaid after the coffin is sealed, like the outermost boat-shaped coffin, which is sealed and then painted.
Therefore, before opening the coffin, it is necessary to cut off a layer of gold skin wrapped on the coffin.
Xu Tianchuan wanted to preserve the integrity of the gold skin, because the hollow carving was so exquisite, it was a beautiful work of art, and it was a pity to destroy it.
Therefore, Xu Tianchuan's movements were very careful and meticulous, first using the Heavenly Sword to break the golden skin on the coffin from the middle, and then slowly and completely picking it off little by little, and folding it in half carefully.
If it weren't for the fact that it was pulled off from the coffin, it felt a little unlucky, and this exquisite gold skin was inlaid on the furniture for the second time, which was still perfect and could show off the style.
As for this Nanmu coffin, it is sealed with six ordinary coffin nails, and the coffin nails are also pure gold, and a tiger pattern is engraved directly above each coffin nail.
Xu Tianchuan, Jiao San, and the three of them had a very tacit understanding at the same time, and at the same time took the probe claw to pry out the six pure gold sealing nails, and then Xu Tianchuan personally inserted the probe claw into the gap of the coffin lid and carefully pried it up.
Giggle......
Since the wooden coffin is very tight, it makes a gurgling sound when it is pried up.
And this sound was more exciting than the sound of shaking the bed for Jiao San, and his eyes widened, staring at the coffin lid being pried up without blinking, opening and closing the larger and larger gaps, and swallowing a few mouthfuls of spit from time to time.
After all, for tomb robbers, nine deaths and one life, it is this moment that they fight.
Boom!
After Xu Tianchuan pried the coffin lid up completely, he pushed it forward and pushed the coffin lid down.
[The system prompts the host to successfully pry open a pair of Ming Dynasty tomb coffins, and rewards 800 experience points for tomb robbery.] 】
As the lid of the coffin was pushed down, Xu Tianchuan's mind immediately sounded with the system's reward prompt, a very short sentence, only eight hundred tomb robbery experience points, no additional special rewards.
Although these 800 experience points are a lot, they ...... Now that the system has been upgraded to level four, the upgrade experience has also doubled up, and these hundreds of experience points have become less thirst-quenching.
As for inside the coffin.
The three of them looked inside with wide eyes at the same time, and all three pairs of eyes burst into golden light in an instant!
It's not because I'm too excited, but the golden light emitted by the burial goods inside the coffin makes everyone's eyes look golden.
There is almost no difference from the imagination, and the burial goods in the coffin satisfy all imaginations.
All kinds of golden ornaments and gold, silver and jade objects are exaggerated to the point that they almost fill the entire coffin, and even completely cover the corpses inside the coffin.
"The gold is paved, and you will enjoy glory and wealth in the next life!"
The convict next to him looked at the large number of burial goods in the coffin, and couldn't help muttering to himself.
This is an ancient saying, which means that the owner of the coffin can be reincarnated in the next life with jewels, and can enjoy this glory and wealth in the next life.
Xu Tianchuan smiled, isn't it the twenty-eight stars holding up the immortal class? Could it be that the gods in the sky also cost money?
In any case, and no matter what the meaning is, the dead will definitely not be able to take a penny with them, and in the end they will be left to the tomb robbers.
In other words, if there had been no custom of thick burials in ancient times, there would have been no profession of tomb robbers......
"San'er ......"
Xu Tianchuan gave Jiao San a look.
Jiao San immediately understood, and he couldn't wait, under the signal of Xu Tianchuan Xu Tianchuan's eyes, he immediately climbed onto the coffin, put the probe claw into the coffin, and began to carefully touch the gold.
Every item that is touched is passed down through the hands of the ordinary and then loaded into the backpack.
Divide the spoils, that's all after I go back.
"San'er, be careful!"
Xu Tianchuan reminded beside him.
Because there were so many burial goods in the coffin, all of them were covered with the corpse, and so far, no corpse has been seen.
"Shopkeeper Xu, don't worry!"
Jiao San understood the intention of Xu Tianchuan's reminder, and before he saw the corpse, he was naturally very cautious, although his heart was excited at this time, but it did not affect his cautious embankment.
This kind of caution is also necessary, because there is no absolute safety in tomb robbing, and the seemingly dead person may jump up in the next second.
Jiao San is not a tomb robber, if he puts all his mind on touching gold, and suddenly stretches out a hand below and drags himself down, he can scare people to death!
What to say, that is, Jiao San took out a gold vessel from the coffin, and suddenly saw a hand exposed below!
It was a black-brown withered palm, although it was rotten and dissolved.
And the palms are very broad, the nails are black, and the obvious bulges of the tendons are like several thick earthworms lying on them.
"Hands!"
Even if he had been mentally guarded against this before, Jiao San suddenly saw the hands covered by the gold weapon below, and he couldn't help but beat his heart violently.
The corpse inside the coffin was not completely decomposed, and a dried corpse remained!
Xu Tianchuan also subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the candle in the southeast corner of the tomb, it burned normally, and the problem should not be very big.
It doesn't mean that a dry corpse will necessarily cheat the corpse.
The existence of a dried corpse requires many conditions and factors, such as the sealing conditions and air environment of the burial chamber, so that the corpse can decay for a hundred years.
The most important thing is that Xu Tianchuan did not feel too heavy yin qi in this tomb, and yin qi is the key to the appearance of corpse fraud.
As for the Yin soldiers who met before going to the tomb to welcome their relatives, they need to completely see the corpse in the coffin, and perhaps they can explain it.
Jiao San maintained his mentality, because he had already seen such a palm, so he became more careful in his method of touching gold, and even made a psychological preparation to avoid danger at any time.
Everyone in the tomb stared wide-eyed, watching one of Jiao San's 'performances', and one by one the exquisite burial goods were touched by Jiao San.
It is no exaggeration to say that each of these funeral goods is a proper top-level work of art, the value of cultural relics is immeasurable, and the monetary value is naturally needless to say.
Maybe there are too many such funeral goods, and there are too many storage spaces in his own system, so these funeral goods in front of him did not bring much interest to Xu Tianchuan.
What interests Xu Tianchuan the most is the corpse under the burial goods.
After all, the current Xu Tianchuan, the first purpose of tomb robbery is no longer to make a fortune by touching gold.
As Jiao San touched the burial goods one by one, the corpses lying at the bottom of the coffin gradually revealed their whole bodies.
But only one!
The corpse was tall, and even though it had become a dried corpse, it could still be seen in some posture, and it was wearing a piece of armor with gold plates, and only the dry palms on both sides were exposed.
How so?
Xu Tianchuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, his expression was surprised.
This is obviously a feng shui pattern of the tomb of 'the wild goose returns together', it stands to reason that it should be a joint tomb of husband and wife, but why is there only one corpse in the coffin?
Could it be a mistake in judgment?
No!
Since the ancients chose the burial site according to feng shui, it is absolutely impossible to use the feng shui cemetery indiscriminately.
"Shopkeeper Xu, what a big golden bump!"
Jiao San seemed to have discovered something at this time, and exclaimed directly with excitement.
"Don't move!"
Jiao San was about to stretch out his hand, but was suddenly stopped by Xu Tianchuan in a hurry, and hurriedly retracted his hand, and was frightened by Xu Tianchuan's shout, thinking that he was in some danger.
"That's not a golden pimple, that's a golden head! This corpse has no head! ”
Xu Tianchuan's eyes turned to the top of the corpse, looking at Jiao San's so-called 'golden pimple', his eyes were fierce.
Because there were some small gold objects covered with it, Jiao San didn't see it clearly, but Xu Tianchuan saw it very clearly, and he could see at a glance that this was a gold head.
Goldhead?
Jiao San also seemed to realize something, and cleaned out all the gold artifacts next to him.
Only then did I clearly see that it was really a golden head!
The corpse had no head, so a golden head was placed on top of the neck.
I saw that the size and shape of this gold head were very coordinated with the corpse, it should be specially tailored for this corpse, and the gold head also wore a golden helmet that matched the armor worn by the body.
The facial features of the golden head are also lifelike, with a square face, sword eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and high cheekbones, although a pair of eyes are closed, it gives people an extremely majestic and inoffensive momentum.
The mere fact that there was a golden head placed on the corpse was very treacherous, and everyone stared at the coffin in surprise.
"The Golden Head?"
Jiao San looked at the dried corpse with a golden head in the coffin, and couldn't help but exclaim.
In fact, although I was surprised when I looked at the golden-headed corpse in the coffin, I was just surprised by the surprise, and I didn't feel very strange.
Because as a senior professional tomb robber, I basically know what this gold head means.
Moreover, there is still a saying in the tomb robbery circle: "Touch the gold well, steal the gold head; Golden basin wash hands for a long time"
It means that as long as the tomb robber touches the gold well or steals the gold head, even if he washes his hands in the golden basin from now on, he can live the next life without worrying about food and clothing.
I had already touched the tomb of the eunuch once before touching the golden well.
Now I've met another golden head.
As for why such a gold head is put up, the intention is also very simple, this is actually a custom of burial.
In ancient times, there was a very cruel saying, 'Let you die without a whole corpse', and there is a saying called 'You can leave a whole corpse'.
This shows the importance of the 'whole corpse' in the eyes of the ancients.
Because the ancients admired the whole body after death, if the body is not complete, it is a big taboo, everything that falls off the body before death, must be buried in the coffin, even the teeth that fall out.
For example, the tomb of the eunuch I met before, after death, I must put that thing in the coffin together.
If it is said that it is missing arms and legs, when it is put into the coffin, it will be missing where to make up, as for what to use, it depends on the family situation, most ordinary people use cotton paper and bamboo to tie one, or use wood, and those with status use jade or metal.
That's how the existence of the golden head came about.
The body was beheaded and the head was gone, so a gold head was used instead, and it was the highest funeral that only a noble person could enjoy.
In history, the most rumored about the golden head is that Qi Jiguang was unjustly killed and beheaded, and the emperor gave a golden head to show appeasement and repentance.
There is also the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youzhen, who was buried with a golden head, and his golden head was given by Li Zicheng, so later generations called it the 'Golden Head Emperor', and at the same time, it also attracted the legend that tomb robbers excavated Siling and stole the golden head!
Although these are just rumors, the scene in front of me confirms that the golden head really exists!
