Beipai Tomb Raiders Notes

I was shocked!

The mysterious brick-chambered tomb that appeared in the hinterland of the Tengger Desert turned out to be an early Ming Dynasty tomb!

The Commander of the Northern Capital is a military post at the border, from a senior official of the third rank!

How could there be a tomb buried here!It's very close to Heishui City!

The hole on the bridge gate is so small that I can barely get in if I am so skinny, let alone Brother Yu.

He asked if I had any questions and if he could go in and have a look.

I had a strange expression on my face, and I really couldn't figure out why a Ming Dynasty tomb suddenly appeared here, but according to my inference, this kind of brick tomb for the family members of local officials is not too big, and a hundred and ten square meters is considered luxurious.

I tried digging with my hands to expand the hole, but it didn't work, most likely it was bricks made of concrete.

"Step aside."

Brother Yu told me to get out of the way, he took a step back, took a deep breath, kicked with his feet!

Brother Yu was so strong that he smashed the bridge gate with one kick, a large number of green bricks collapsed, and the opening of the cave more than doubled in size.

Brother Yu and I got in along the bridge gate and entered the tomb.

"Don't tell me, it's the first time I've seen such a thing in my life," Brother Yu flicked his flashlight.

He was talking about the carved stone carvings on the wall. People in the industry don’t like to see the tombs of the early Ming Dynasty, because there is nothing there. Most of them are brick carvings, stone carvings, and pottery figurines. These things are not popular on the black market. The reason is because of Zhu Yuanzhang's system of severely punishing corrupt officials, no one dares to embezzle, and there will naturally be fewer funeral objects.

Tomb robbers like Master Yao would basically not move if they encountered civilian tombs in the early Ming Dynasty, because from past experience, the income and risk are not directly proportional, and it is not worth it.

The place where we are standing now is called the tomb courtyard. In front is the main tomb chamber, with solid brick walls on both sides and no ear chambers.

The bridge gate is about two or three meters away from the tomb court. I measured it visually. From the tomb court to the main tomb chamber, the distance is about thirteen steps. This type of tomb layout is just in line with the rank of third-rank officials in the Ming Dynasty.

If the official position is a little higher, when you reach the first and second ranks, you can use two stone figures, one tiger, one cow, one sheep, one stone statue, and one pair of watchtowers.

You must know that this is a first- and second-rank official, which shows how picky Zhu Yuanzhang is to his officials.

The cemetery was empty, and nothing of value was seen. I don't know if something had been taken away.

Brother Yu pointed to the main tomb and said to go in and have a look.

The main tomb is the place where the coffin and funeral objects of the owner of the tomb are stored. After entering, the first thing you see is a sarcophagus.

The sarcophagus is suspended in the air and is padded with bricks. It is divided into upper and lower layers, covered with a lid, and the length is about [-] meters.

There were some pottery pots and dishes scattered on the surrounding ground. I squatted down and took a look. The dishes were all civilian porcelain fired in local kilns. stay on purpose.

This brick tomb is only so big. If there is anything valuable, you can only hope for the sarcophagus in front of you. The grade of the sarcophagus must be higher than that of ordinary wooden coffins.

Although I know that there is little hope of having funeral objects.

If the second brother is here, in his words, Brother Yu and I are picking up broken shoes.

"Exercise, Brother Yu, I didn't move."

"Where did you see that I didn't contribute? It's because the coffin weighs more than [-] catties." Brother Yu spat on his hands, rubbed his hands together and said, "Come on, I'll count to three and work together."

I said yes.

"one."

"two."

"three."

"Push!" The blue veins on the back of Brother Yu's hand bulged, and I also pushed hard.

The sound of rubbing stones sounded, and the sarcophagus was slowly pushed away by us.

When I opened the sarcophagus, I shone a light into the coffin with my flashlight and was stunned.

"This... what is this thing?"

"Where's the remains of the owner of the tomb...where are the funerary objects...?"

There are no dead bones in the sarcophagus, and there are no funeral objects.

There was a pillow, a quilt, a small amount of hay was placed under the quilt, and it was tidy and spotless, and the pattern on the quilt cover was written in handwriting.

"Yinchuan No. [-] Middle School."

"This....."

Is this fucking someone living in a coffin?

Not only these, but when I took the pillow away, I also found several bags of chocolates hidden under the pillow, and two hawthorn candies wrapped in transparent plastic paper.

Brother Yu and I looked at each other, dumbfounded.

"Shh!"

At this moment, Brother Yu suddenly made a silent gesture.

I listened carefully, as if there were footsteps outside.

Brother Yu hurriedly pulled me to hide under the sarcophagus. As mentioned earlier, the sarcophagus is suspended and there is space underneath.

I'm next, Brother Yu is on top of me, when someone comes in we just put our feet under the coffin.

Brother Yu weighed more than 180 kilograms, and he made me suffocate. I resisted the discomfort and held my breath to look outside.

I saw a pair of feet first. I didn't know if it was a man or a woman who came in, but the shoes on his feet were not right. It looked like someone else's, and they were a little too big.

The man stopped in front of the stone coffin, just facing my head.

There was a sound of movement above.

This person actually lay down directly!

Then I heard the sound of peeling the plastic candy wrapper, and then the hawthorn candy wrapper was thrown out of the coffin by the man and fell to the ground.

At this time, Brother Yu patted my thigh lightly.

I know what he means, he should mean to ask me whether to do it or not.

I didn't move.Means to tell him to wait 2 minutes.

This place is in an ancient tomb, the surroundings are quiet, and a needle can be heard.

After waiting like this for nearly 10 minutes, I heard the sound of pulling the lid of the coffin from above, and the sound of stones grinding stones sounded harsh.

My first reaction.

this person?So much effort?

One person can pull the lid of the sarcophagus.

I was amazed.

The moment the coffin was closed, Brother Yu couldn't bear it anymore, he yelled and rolled out.

In my panic, I dropped the flashlight in my hand, and when I picked it up and rolled out, I saw Brother Yu desperately pressing down on the coffin lid, his upper body was on top of it!

"Still stunned!"

"Come and help!" Brother Yu yelled at me through gritted teeth.

I imitated him and directly pressed half of my body on the coffin.

Then bursts of force came from the sarcophagus, and the people inside wanted to push it out.

The people inside the coffin were extremely powerful, they kept beating the coffin, and I heard bursts of cries.

In the end, Brother Yu and I simply sat on the coffin lid.

The people in the coffin slapped wildly and yelled, but they couldn't say a word, they just screamed.

Brother Yu and I looked ugly.

Our whole body, with the shaking of the coffin lid, kept rising and falling, feeling that we would not be able to hold it down at any time.

After pressing for five or six minutes, the movement gradually subsided, and I guessed that the people inside might have run out of strength.

So I opened my mouth and shouted: "Who are you!"

unexpectedly....

I just finished speaking.

Suddenly there was a strong force coming from under the buttocks, and it directly bounced me off the coffin!
