Jiang Yongguang's question really stumped me, what "living seeds", "becoming immortals", I couldn't understand a single word of this kind of black language in tomb robbing rivers and lakes at the time.

I shook my head blankly and said, "What is a living seed?" What is a Chengdi Immortal? ”

Jiang Yongguang did not answer my question directly, but explained from the beginning: "The rats are a group of greedy goods, ten rats and ten greedy, if it weren't for the greed for money, they wouldn't dig graves and pick money from the hands of the dead." ”

There is a lot of truth in that.

"As the saying goes, greed for money kills, and some rats are too greedy for money, and when they go to the tomb, they hide stolen goods behind their accomplices'. Jiang Yongguang continued.

Uncle Mei snorted coldly when he heard this: "This practice is indeed not authentic, let alone digging graves, no profession can tolerate this kind of person." ”

Jiang Yongguang also said: "Once the rat is discovered, it will be corrected by the accomplices on the spot - the southern faction is called 'living seed', and the northern faction is called 'Chengdi Immortal', to put it bluntly, the rat who eats private is buried alive on the spot." ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but feel excited.

Jiang Yongguang is right, the tomb robbers are really ruthless, this is indeed a group of extremely vicious people.

At this time, Uncle Mei reacted, pointed to a few big pale hands stretched out from the dirt on the ground, and asked, "These hands are all rats who were buried here alive because of eating smuggling?" ”

Jiang Yongguang nodded and said: "It should be, they struggled desperately after being buried alive, but they were never able to crawl out of the soil, and when they were dying, they could only put their hands out of the ground at most." ”

At this point, the truth is revealed, the big hands that grow in these fields are not supernatural events, but sins caused by tomb robbers.

But even though he knew the truth of the matter, Xiao Liang was still so frightened that he knelt on the ground for a long time and did not relax.

We left Uncle Mei to take care of Xiao Liang in the same place, and the rest of us walked to the tomb not far away.

At the end of the corridor is the first chamber of this ancient tomb, which is rectangular, about eight meters long and five meters wide, with a total area of about forty square meters.

Coming to the entrance of the burial chamber, I swept it with my headlamp and immediately found several beautifully crafted bronzes—

At first glance, it looked like a small tree, slender and straight, with lush branches, and on closer inspection, I realized that it was a bronze lamp.

Its base is a small bronze figure kneeling on the ground, and on the head of the little man grows a large and lush tree, the trunk of the large tree is straight and straight, and the branches that stick out are the light holders of bronze lamps, and the end is a lamp tray that can hold lamp oil.

This bronze lamp is about two meters high, and its weight is obviously not light, otherwise with its artistic value, it must have been packed and taken away by tomb robbers.

I was so shocked to see a work of art thousands of years old up close, and I wanted to reach out and touch it when I looked at the bronze lamp shining in the light of my headlamp.

But just as my fingertips were about to touch the bronze lamp, Jiang Yongguang stopped loudly: "Stop! Xiao Chen, don't touch it! ”

I was startled, quickly withdrew my hand, and asked, "What?" This thing is poisonous? ”

"Not really." Jiang Yongguang shook his head and said, "It's just that these cultural relics are very fragile now, and they may fall apart if they are touched at the slightest touch, just like the bronze statue at the entrance of the ancient tomb." So try to be careful and don't touch it if you can. ”

I suddenly replied, "Got it." ”

At this time, Xiao Liang, who was weak, finally eased up and walked into the tomb accompanied by Uncle Mei.

As soon as the two of them entered, they paid attention to the three coffins placed in the middle of the tomb, and by the dim and cold light of the headlamp, they could see that the lids of these three coffins had all been lifted, and these coffins were all open-mouthed coffins.

Uncle Mei smacked his lips and asked, "These coffins ...... Did you drive it? ”

It was only when I heard this that I noticed the coffin in the center of the chamber, and to be honest, as soon as I entered the chamber, I was attracted by the beautiful bronze lamps, and I really didn't find them.

Jiang Yongguang hurriedly denied: "We just came in for a few minutes, how can we have time to open the coffin?" Besides, we are not tomb robbers, and under normal circumstances, we will not tamper with the cultural relics on site. ”

Uncle Mei squinted his eyes and said, "Then this coffin was pried open by a mouse." ”

Jiang Yongguang nodded and said, "Eighty percent is so." ”

As he spoke, he actually walked towards the open coffin, and swept it inside with his headlamp.

Uncle Mei said with a pale face: "You melon baby is very bold!" If you dare to look at the open coffin, you are not afraid of getting dirty? ”

Jiang Yongguang said disdainfully: "If you are really afraid of these things, you won't be able to do this business." ”

After speaking, he looked at the probe, smiled and waved his hand to everyone: "It's okay, the hollow coffin, there is no coffin." ”

The so-called "coffin coffin" naturally refers to the dead person in the coffin, and "hollow coffin" and "no coffin" refer to the fact that there is no body in the coffin.

Later, Jiang Yongguang checked two other smaller coffins, and found that these two coffins did not have a coffin, and he did not know whether the owner of the coffin was washed away by the groundwater or dragged out by tomb robbers.

Xiao Liang didn't even dare to look at the coffin until he heard that there was no body in the coffin, so he dared to look over there.

She said with a little regret: "I thought I could find the remains of the ancient Shu people in these coffins, I really want to know if they look like bronze people, with wide ears and huge mouths, and they are eye-catching." ”

Jiang Yongguang said: "Don't worry, there is still a chance, this ancient tomb looks quite large, there should always be a few remains of the ancient Shu people, right?" ”

I walked over to the three coffins and looked down, only to find that they were actually carved out of stone, and the lid was so heavy that one person couldn't move it at all!

"This is a sarcophagus! Who opened the lid of such a heavy coffin? I couldn't help but ask.

Jiang Yongguang said: "Who else can there be? Mouse. Don't underestimate their skills, in order to steal treasures, they can do anything. Even the white marble door of Cixi's Dongling can be chiseled open, let alone this small sarcophagus. ”

Uncle Mei walked to the sarcophagus while we were talking, looked down at it, and asked coldly:

"You say, is there a possibility that the coffin lid climbed out by pushing it open?"

As soon as these words came out, my scalp tingled.

The timid Xiao Liang was even more frightened, and said in a trembling voice: "Uncle Mei! Please don't scare me! ”

Jiang Yongguang knew that Uncle Mei would definitely not talk nonsense, so he hurriedly asked, "Third Brother Mei, did you find anything?" ”

Uncle Mei nodded slowly, pointed to the inside of the sarcophagus and the bottom of the coffin lid, and said, "Look, there seem to be a lot of scratches in here, I'm afraid this thing was scratched out by the owner of the coffin, right?" ”

I followed Uncle Mei's guidance and looked down into the coffin, only to see that there were many scratches of different depths and lengths on the inside of the coffin and under the coffin lid, which looked very much like marks scratched with fingernails!
