Chapter 251: Bronze Gui
"Uncle, do you feel that something is wrong?"
Xing Chang and Jiao San held the miner's lamp at the same time, shining on the bronze walls with large holes on the other two sides in front of them.
Xing Chang subconsciously turned his head to look at the inner hidden eye on the other side, and said with a somewhat puzzled expression.
The hidden spring still gushes outward, and there are traces of overflowing water around it.
"For example?"
Xu Tianchuan looked at Xing Chang and asked rhetorically.
"Since that devil just now is one of the ten sons of the ghost god, it is definitely impossible to be a good kind, but I feel that it doesn't seem to have any hostility towards us, or that it doesn't intend to attack us at all, which is really strange."
A big question mark was written on his face.
It's not just a normal punishment, I'm afraid anyone can feel that this is very abnormal.
There is a saying that 'there must be demons in the impermanence of the world'.
Especially in the tomb, the more abnormal things are, the more unsettling they feel.
It's definitely not a good thing anyway.
Although the ancients paid great attention to etiquette, there was absolutely no 'hospitality' for gravediggers.
"Master Criminal, maybe he saw our criminal treasurer, and he was afraid?"
Jiao San said in the back.
Xu Tianchuan glanced at Jiao San, this sycophant was a bit excessive, and he really didn't reach the level of domineering exposure for the time being, shouting angrily, and the evil spirits retreated.
"That devil really didn't intend to attack us, but ......"
Xu Tianchuan retracted his gaze and landed on the bronze wall in front of him, paused deliberately in the middle, and his eyes slowly became determined: "However, this does not mean that there is really no hostility, it is just that it is not the hostility that wants to kill us here directly." ”
"Let's go inside!"
As the words fell, Xu Tianchuan himself took a miner's lamp and strode straight towards the bronze wall in front of him.
"No attack and no hostility?"
Xing Chang seemed to have some understanding of Xu Tianchuan's words in his heart, and at the same time immediately followed.
Jiao San took out the kettle from his backpack, washed the mucus on his face repeatedly with water, and hurriedly trotted to follow.
Although the milky white mucus secreted by the devil is very viscous, it is fortunately soluble in water and is very easy to clean.
As for the bronze wall in front, because the entire cave chamber is circular, the other three bronze walls except for the top of the head appear to be embedded in the rock wall, and each bronze wall has a distance of about seven or eight meters in the cave chamber.
However, this is not actually embedded in the rock wall, but is buried with rock and then set aside for purpose.
At least judging from Xu Tianchuan's current speculation, although these three bronze walls seem to have a distance of seven or eight meters on the surface, they should be connected inside, and they are special burial tools for the whole whole.
The previous devil was 'blown up' from a bronze wall in the middle, causing the bronze wall in the middle to be almost completely shattered, revealing a big hole, under the light pillar of the miner's lamp, it can be roughly seen that it should be seven or eight meters deep, empty, covered with a thick layer of milky white mucus secreted from the devil's body, and it looks like a thick layer of frost has accumulated from a distance.
And there are no big holes on the surface of the bronze wall on the other two sides, but because of the violent blasting just now, there are serious cracks on the surface of the bronze wall on both sides, and it should only be one foot away from the complete rupture.
But for safety reasons, after Xu Tianchuan walked over, he still carefully used the black fold to insert the hole left by the previous order and pry it out.
Click!
Before Xu Tianchuan could exert his strength, there was a crisp sound of 'click' directly from the bronze wall in front of him, and then along the cracks that appeared, he pried off a bronze fragment that was a little bigger than a palm.
Xu Tianchuan immediately looked inside along the hole, because the hole was too small, he couldn't see it very clearly, and all he could see was still a thick layer of milky white mucus attached to it.
Whoa......
Just as Xu Tianchuan continued to prepare to expand the hole with the black fold, because a piece of bronze fragment that had been pried off just now caused it to loosen, causing the entire severely cracked bronze wall to collapse in an instant.
Jiao San next to him thought that there had been another accident, and subconsciously clenched the black gold ancient knife in his hand and took a step back.
"San'er, don't be too nervous! It looks like you're going to have to keep exercising! ”
Xu Tianchuan turned his head to look at Jiao San and said.
Jiao San's expression was a little embarrassed, in fact, Jiao San himself couldn't figure it out, obviously he was not afraid of death, why he was always frightened by various situations that suddenly appeared, this was completely subconscious, and there was no way to control it at all.
As he spoke, Xu Tianchuan turned his head and took the miner's lamp and looked inside.
It was similar to the situation behind the bronze wall just now, it was also seven or eight meters deep, and it was also attached to a thick layer of milky white mucus, filled with a heavy fishy smell, and it felt like stepping into a seafood market.
But the difference is that the space inside is extended to both sides, and because of the angle from the outside, it is not possible to see the specific expansion and extension.
Although he couldn't see the extension clearly, Xu Tianchuan had already guessed in his heart that it was connected to the other two bronze walls, with an interval of seven or eight meters in between.
"Uncle, there's something in there!"
When the pillar of miner's lamp in Xing Chang's hand shone into it, he suddenly exclaimed.
There is indeed something, after the entire bronze wall collapsed downward, Xu Tianchuan also saw it at a glance with his night vision eyes.
In the deepest part of the room, there was an apparently high bulge, but it was impossible to see what it was, as a thick layer of milky white mucus had attached to it.
Basically, everything in it is completely covered and wrapped by this milky white slime, and it is still very thick, and the milky white color is not transparent, and it is covered like milk, and the light pillar of the miner's lamp cannot shine into it.
"Everyone, be careful, go in and have a look!"
Xu Tianchuan said with a solemn expression.
Xu Tianchuan had a very strong premonition in his heart, there must be something he wanted, and clues and secrets about this ancient tomb.
Because all of it was covered with milky white mucus, about seven or eight centimeters thick, Xu Tianchuan stepped into it and just submerged to the ankle.
And this milky white slime is also very sticky, like stepping on a sticky mouse board.
"His grandmother's, what the hell is this, it looks disgusting!"
"Shopkeeper Xu, if we encounter any danger here, it may seriously limit our speed of action!"
Jiao San followed behind Xu Tianchuan, scolding in his mouth, almost using all the strength on his thighs to pull out his legs with difficulty, and with a long sticky strip, he stepped forward.
Because it is very difficult to take a step forward, it is necessary to take as much as possible to take a step forward.
"It must have been secreted from that devil just now."
Chang Chang guessed.
"Nope! To be precise, it should have come out of its mouth. ”
Xu Tianchuan corrected it rigorously, because the mouthful of 'thick phlegm' that the devil spat out at the explosive cartridge that Jiao San threw just now was this thing.
The creatures under this world are strange and have their own characteristics, and perhaps this is a means of survival for it.
As for limiting the speed of action, this is just for Jiao San.
Xu Tianchuan's strength is not only his arms, but his whole body, so for Xu Tianchuan, this mucus only limits his speed of action by 20% at most, and the problem is not very big.
When he walked to the place where it expanded and extended to both sides, Xu Tianchuan looked to both sides again with his night vision eyes.
There's not just one thing, it's a lot...... Lots of things!
I saw that there are many, many things extending on the left and right sides of this huge burial tool, because the surface is all covered with a layer of milky white mucus, so it looks like it is raised in situ, and it is not intuitive to see what it is, only from the outer outline of the cover, some stand upright two or three meters high, some are square and have a wide area, and some are like a round tomb bag, which looks a little messy, and it is very dense'Chaos'.
It is precisely this mystery that makes Xu Tianchuan's heart full of doubts and curiosity.
"Funeral goods?"
The first thing that Xu Tianchuan thought of in his heart was the funeral goods, since this is a huge burial tool, then the funeral goods are also the most realistic.
"What kind of funeral goods would that be?"
Xu Tianchuan then thought of the record on the Youtian Order, almost half of the national wealth treasures of the entire Shang Dynasty!
But at present, it is a bit exaggerated to associate with almost half of the wealth of national treasures in the entire Shang Dynasty.
"Shopkeeper Xu, could this be a funeral item? That thing got so much disgusting slime here just now, is it just to preserve these funeral goods? ”
Jiao San also illuminated the surroundings with a miner's lamp, and couldn't help but ask.
When Jiao San thought in his heart that the milky white mucus covered under it might be funeral goods, he couldn't help but feel excited and excited in his heart.
This is also out of instinctive nature, not to mention that as a professional tomb robber, what excites Jiao San the most is the burial goods.
Because Xu Tianchuan didn't figure out the situation for the time being, it was like completely entering the blind spot of knowledge, so Xu Tianchuan didn't answer Jiao San's words, guessing alone has no practical effect, even if it is a guess, at least guess and judge according to the knowledge you have.
But now it is completely involved in the blind spot of your own knowledge, so you can only see it with your eyes.
Xu Tianchuan walked to the nearest thing covered with a thick layer of milky white slime, then took out a dagger from the system's storage space, and began to carefully scrape off the slime attached to it.
Based on Xu Tianchuan's knowledge and understanding of antiques, and then looking at the general shape of this thing, it should be similar to the tripod utensils that were specially used for sacrifice in ancient times, or have a certain practicality.
Sure enough, it was guessed by Xu Tianchuan.
When Xu Tianchuan carefully scraped off the thick layer of slime on it with a dagger, revealing a bronze vessel similar to a ding.
The shape of the vessel is not very large, only seventy or eighty centimeters high, with four short legs underneath, an oval mouth, and semicircular ears on both sides.
Judging by Xu Tianchuan's ability to appreciate antiquities, this should be a bronze gui.
The bronze 簋 originated in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, which is equivalent to the bowl that serves rice today, and is a kind of daily substantive vessel.
As I said before, Xu Tianchuan's ability to identify antiques can be described as 'omniscient', as long as it is an antique, even a fragment Xu Tianchuan can accurately judge its age and some related.
But why is the word 'should' used again?
The main reason is that as a special vessel for eating in ancient times, the bronze gui is usually not very large, but the diameter of the bronze gui in front of me is close to eighty centimeters.
Where did the ancients eat with such a big bowl, even if it was a pot, this size is a bit big.
Judging from the shape, this is indeed more like a bronze gui.
It seems that the mystery of this ancient tomb has gone far beyond the written record.
After all, Xu Tianchuan's "Tianjian Secret Technique" is based on the records of historical books and documents of previous dynasties, not a system, and it can be intelligently detected at a glance.
If there is no relevant record in the history books of the past dynasties, then the "Tianjian Secret Technique" will definitely not be there.
In addition, what surprised Xu Tianchuan was even more surprising.
When he used a dagger to remove the milky white slime covering the bronze skull, he saw that the surface of the bronze stool was actually brand new, without the slightest patina, not even the slightest trace of corrosion and oxidation by the years, just like a bronze vessel that had just been cast and baked.
However, this phenomenon only appeared for a second, and after the milky white mucus was removed, the surface of the bronze surface exposed to the air quickly began to oxidize, and the oxidized color of the original new bronze surface quickly turned black and darkened.
Xu Tianchuan then cleaned up the slime covering other parts of the bronze surface, and the situation was the same, the brand-new bronze surface showed rapid oxidation after coming into contact with the air.
It seems that this is really said by Jiao San.
This phenomenon proves an ironclad fact that this white slime spit out of the devil's mouth can be a good preservation of burial goods.
How good is it?
For more than 3,000 years, the color of the surface of the bronze can be preserved until it does not change.
But as for whether the ghost of the ghost god appeared here really just to preserve these burial goods, it is still not 100% certain for the time being.
After cleaning up the slime on the outside of the bronze skull, Xu Tianchuan went directly to clean up the inside, so that he could make the most accurate judgment.
Why did the ancients make the bronze jar used for eating so big?
That is, Xu Tianchuan just reached out and grabbed a large handful of mucus from it.
A black bead is revealed from the inside of the bronze skull.
"There's something in the bronze."
Xu Tianchuan immediately stared at it with wide eyes in surprise, and at the same time illuminated the pillar of light of the miner's lamp.
But when he stared at it with wide eyes and looked carefully, the hairs on Xu Tianchuan's body directly exploded.
"It's a black eyeball!"
