950. Chapter 950: Corpse Carving

The rain stopped, and the prairie returned to its former serenity, and the sun gradually peeked out of the sky, and the whole land glowed with a silver light. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The people in the research room who were stunned by Crane Zhanpeng were probably going to sleep for a while, and Wushuang wasn't sure that the curse had left them because of the theft of the golden jade clothes. It's just that now it seems that although they are sleepless, none of them have a flat breath.

"Master Shuang, you should think of a way, what should we do? Do I have to report this matter?" Professor Monalo was confused, not knowing what to do.

"Did you carry such a big pot yourself? Don't report it, maybe there is a turnaround, I have already let my people pay attention, as long as he dares to appear in Horqin, he will definitely not be able to run, I am going to go to this Khitan tomb next, do you accompany me or let her? I hope you are free. Wushuang didn't change his mind, he didn't want to help the archaeological team, but wanted to take the opportunity to see if there was any oil and water down there to scrape him again.

"Hmph, think I don't know your mind? We're all gone, and when your people in this camp arrive, no one will stop them from grabbing anything. Chu Tianyue glared at Wushuang.

"I'm not interested in your archaeological equipment, if I want to grab it, I let the brothers do it just now, do you still need to wait? Professor, I see you staying, there are all my people nearby, it's safe for the time being, and only you can open the door to this laboratory." Wushuang suggested.

"Okay, Shuangye, Tianyue, this kid has a stubborn temper, you should be more responsible, she studied a lot of books about Beihu culture before she set off, if you don't understand anything, you can also ask her. Tianyue, don't doubt Shuangye anymore, he is my friend, we are friends in life and death, if you encounter something you don't understand, ask me immediately on the walkie-talkie. Professor Monalo carried them both to the entrance of the tomb until they saw them disappear into the dark passage with archaeological equipment on their backs.

After entering the tomb, the first thing that catches your eye is the wolf carving totem in the photo, and there are two bearded people sitting on the back of the wolf, but they are not human heads. This is a typical Khitan totem, the Khitan people worship wolves, because this animal is fierce and united, even if the lion and tiger meet the wolves, they have to give three points, which is very similar to the spirit of their nation.

"Don't rush in. Wushuang grabbed Chu Tianyue, this is the fourth time that Chu Tianyue has entered the tomb of the Khitan Ancient Tomb, although he saw this strange totem carving the first few times, he didn't take it too seriously. The teacher said that the stone statue of the human body and animal head on this totem may be the shape of an evil god worshiped by the Khitans.

"What's so beautiful? Haven't you seen the totem of the Khitans?" she glanced at Wushuang, and then looked back to see that Wushuang had already jumped on the wolf's body, and was looking at the stone statue of the human beast head on it with his feet crossed.

"I've seen a lot of totems, but I haven't seen this wave of people, you guys, there are too many things to learn in books, sometimes you learn stupidly, practice is the most important. Come, come up and see. He stretched out his hand and dragged Chu Tianyue up, pointed to the neck of the figure and told her, take a closer look, the plaster here is not smooth, and it doesn't seem to be repaired at one time with the whole sculpture, look, there is a small incision here, which means that this wave was built with mortar the day after tomorrow.

As he spoke, Wushuang took out his dagger and began to scrape the plaster on the waves little by little, the dagger was extremely sharp, but it didn't scrape a large layer down!

"Hey, don't touch it! These are all cultural relics, and they will enter the museum in the future! Can you afford to break it?" Chu Tianyue wanted to stop him, but he couldn't hold Wushuang at all, he was a strong man with much more strength than her.

After a few moments, a thick layer of plaster had been hung up, revealing a white plaster, which seemed to be permeated with a dark red substance, and had a slight rancid smell.

"Huh?" Chu Tianyue was shocked, she understood what it meant, she covered her mouth and jumped down, she didn't dare to look at it anymore, she could already predict what was in this strange totem stone carving.

Wushuang was busy for a while, and finally there was only a layer of slimy foul-smelling plaster on the surface of the clay sculpture, he tapped it lightly with the handle of the knife, only to hear a loud sound, and all the substances wrapped around the surface of this strange sculpture fell off to the ground, inside, there was a corpse exposed, the corpse had already decomposed into a white bone, but he was still wearing a silver armor.

"See? You've missed too many things, what if there was some mechanism hidden in this wolf totem when you first came in?"

Chu Tianyue could only bow her head and remain silent this time, she was speechless, compared to this professional gold school captain, these archaeology graduates did not have any practical experience at all. In fact, the two professions don't look very similar, but they are fundamentally different.

Archaeologists should excavate the ancient tombs carefully, and every piece of Ming artifact or even corpses or murals found in the ancient tombs must be cleaned out little by little, and try to preserve them as intact as possible and bring them back for detailed study. Their principle is to protect not to destroy. The tomb robbers are different, the tomb robbers are to use the shortest time to directly enter the main tomb of the ancient tomb, the most important thing for them is not to protect the cultural relics but their own life safety, everything must be safety-oriented, and finally to take away the most valuable Ming weapon in the shortest time.

"Who could this corpse be?" asked Chu Tianyue.

"I don't know, maybe it's just the guards guarding the ancient tomb, you see, this wolf totem stone sculpture is divided into two on the left and right, just one on the left and one on the right guarding the entrance of the ancient tomb. Presumably, they were the most trusted generals around the owner of the tomb. Wushuang judged.

He told Chu Tianyue that things are called corpse carvings, and generally, there will be them at the entrance of many ethnic minority tombs. Some are even big zongzi, and they come up to bite with their teeth and claws.

"You...... Don't scare me! How is that possible? After so many years, human life has reached its limit. Compared with Wushuang, this top student of archaeology is indeed too tender, and she doesn't believe it, but she has already begun to tremble.

"Why are you lying to you? Your teacher taught you all in books, how can you write big zongzi in books? I don't believe you go back and ask, we met in the ancient city of Khanting last time, and your teacher saw it with his own eyes. ”

"Yes...... Can...... But even if there are living people inside, then what's the use of this corpse carving? Don't you still destroy the cultural relics?" Chu Tianyue asked.

Wushuang shook his head helplessly and said, you will die in your books in the future. Generally, there are only two reasons for the appearance of corpse carvings, either they are burglar-proof or they are the living key to the entrance to the real tomb.
