Chapter 38: Tomb Mutations
The moon is dark and kills the night, and the wind is high and the sky is on fire.
Next to the big tree, there is an old garbage truck parked, which is full of garbage cans, and behind the garbage truck, there is a Wuling Hongguang van, and the fifth of the tomb robbers is sitting in the driver's seat.
Soon, there was a roar of cars from Zhao's side, and two black sedans rushed in.
A man in black was the first to get out of the car, and then he trotted over to open the door, revealing a dark-skinned gringo.
After that, Master Xu slowly got out of the car: "Duan Zhangyan, we are already here, where are your things?" ”
Duan Zhangyan got down from the co-pilot, holding a square wooden box in his hand, and walked towards them.
Master Xu pointed to the gringo next to him and said, "This is sent from there, just show him." ”
Then I saw Master Xu's nose move, and a weird smile appeared on his face.
Duan Zhangyan snorted lightly, but he was not very polite to this gringo, and directly handed over the wooden box.
The gringo carefully held the wooden box on the ground, and when he opened it, he found that it was a Tang Sancai porcelain, grabbed some soil on it, put it under his nose and smelled it, and then the whole person lay on the ground and sniffed at the cultural relics.
"This man has some skills." At this time, there was no more rashness in the palms, and there was a lot more respect in the eyes.
Master Xu chuckled lightly and said, "Do you know that the former great tomb thief Jiao Dashuai, he led the pot on the mountain, let them perform their duties, listen to the voice, look at the qi, test the soil in various ways to observe the mountain, and finally determine the location of the ancient tomb." ”
"This person's name is Nicholas, I gave him a Chinese name called Zhao San, he is extremely admired by Captain Touching Jin, he has studied in Daxia for many years, once under an apprentice of Jiao Dashuai, he learned the sense of smell, as long as he smells through his nose, he can judge the age and time of the tomb according to the breath in the soil."
Duan Zhangyan snorted lightly, the team of people under Jiao Dashuai back then, which one was not a famous person, this gringo learned this, it is not amazing, after all, the smell of tombs in the Ming and Qing dynasties is heavier, and the tombs of the Han Dynasty generally have no smell, each tomb has its own characteristics, as long as you have been in this line for a few years, you can basically see it.
When it comes to this ability, the character who once appeared in a certain provincial city, that is the real awesome, that person's nose is simply more sensitive than a dog's nose, as long as those cultural relics are smelled by him, he can accurately judge the age, and even know what his cultural relics have been done.
Once, a person took the bronze Guding to show the person, and the man said in surprise: "Yo, this ancient man is very good, people use a spittoon to urinate, this person uses a bronze Guding to, it's not a big family really can't do this kind of thing, the rich are strange." ”
You must know that the bronze ancient tripod is thousands of years old, and its owner does not believe it, thinking that he is talking nonsense, and finally took it for testing, and really found a trace of feces.
After this incident, this became even more popular, and countless people came inexplicably, but he disappeared out of thin air, and did not reappear until several years later.
The gringo Niklas, it should be Zhao San, knelt and sniffed for a while, nodded with satisfaction, then squatted up, held the cultural relics like a treasure, and said in broken Mandarin: "Yes, it's a treasure, at least a thousand years old, is it a Tang tomb?" ”
"To be precise, it should be a tomb in the middle of the Tang Dynasty." Duan Zhangyan nodded.
The Tang tomb has a characteristic, the tomb is divided into two rooms in the north and south, there is a long road in the middle to connect, each tomb is about ten square meters, the Tang tomb is mostly built of tomb bricks, there is no bonding between the bricks, and the dome is built.
For those of them who have robbed tombs, they have basically determined the age of the tomb, and they know the entire interior of the mausoleum well, because the tombs of any dynasty have their own rules to speak of, especially this kind of tomb, the owners of the tombs are all famous people of the year, and they are quite particular about these things, and they cannot make any mistakes.
At that time, after they judged the location of the ancient tomb, they spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy a piece of land in the local area for the purpose of building a house, and after the outer wall of the house was built, they began to dig a shaft until they entered the cemetery.
At that time, they did not move for more than a week, and then because their movements were too loud, they were suspicious of the villagers, and some of the village men sneaked in that night and were driven out by them, but they also knew very well that this place should not stay for long, and they would definitely be found if they continued like this.
Let the two of them stay outside, Duan Zhangyan threw the live chicken down first, and the chicken died after a while.
I had to wait for a long time before I took someone to the tomb, this is a well-preserved tomb, the owner of the tomb is a three-grade official in the Tang Dynasty, because the age has been told to return to the hometown, this person is low-key and forbearant in the court, and after returning to the hometown, he also brought a lot of treasures, most of which are buried in this tomb.
They gained a lot from this trip, and only the coffin was left unopened.
Before opening the coffin, Duan Zhangyan asked everyone to put fennel under their noses, drilled a hole in the coffin, and then lit the candle, and the candle emitted a strange blue flame, and after the candle burned out, the corpse gas in the coffin basically disappeared.
But just in case, a candle is lit until it emits a normal yellow flame, which means that it is safe.
When going down to the tomb, in addition to the mechanism in the tomb, the most dangerous thing is the corpse gas in the coffin.
Zhao San asked: "Didn't I hear that when you touch Captain Jin, you will bring black donkey hooves, wouldn't it be better for this black donkey hooves to be used on corpse qi?" ”
"The black donkey's hooves are better, but they are very precious, and they are generally not used until they save their lives, while fennel is much easier to come by." Duan Zhangyan's eyes suddenly showed a touch of sadness.
Zhao San nodded: "Then congratulations in advance, this cultural relic is a good treasure, if other things are so good, then your income on this trip is at least tens of millions, your luck is really good, you can easily get money that others can't earn in a few lifetimes." ”
"No, before the coffin was opened, we were indeed very smooth, but in the back, something still happened."
Just as the candle was about to burn out, something happened that happened!
