Beipai Tomb Raiders Notes

Chapter 140 Epitaph

I fell off the sarcophagus and hit my wrist. In my panic, I didn't care about the pain, so I wanted to get up and help.

Brother Yu alone couldn't hold the sarcophagus at all, I saw a black figure quickly get out of the sarcophagus.

"Flashlight!" Brother Yu hurriedly stepped back and shouted at me.

I picked up the flashlight and took a picture, and I saw this black shadow.

His hair was long and messy, and his face was smeared with blood or oil. One eye was completely blocked by the hair, and the exposed eye was red and bloody. There was a large area of ​​swelling around the eye socket, which could be followed by some kind of ophthalmologist. It looks like a disease, and it doesn't respond to the stimulation of the flashlight.

I see him.

One thing is for sure, I have never seen this person before.

"Stop him!"

Brother Yu yelled, rushed over and punched him.

He seemed to be invisible, but at the same time he seemed to be able to see. This man Kankan dodged a punch, put his arms around Brother Yu's waist, and pushed him against the wall!

This man has no skills, but great strength!He puts his arms around his waist and pushes people away like a bulldozer!

bang!

Brother Yu slammed into the brick wall of the main tomb with his back!

In desperation, I picked up the clay pot on the ground and slapped this man on the head!

Crockpot smashed.

I don't know if he was afraid, but he suddenly let go of Brother Yu and turned around to run. He ran very fast, and he left the main tomb in the blink of an eye.

"How about it, brother fish!"

Gritting his teeth, Brother Yu panted while holding his back with one hand, "Mom...dammit, your waist is showing off."

"wait!"

I ran out of the main tomb to look, and the person just now had disappeared.

At this time, Brother Yu called me in, saying don't chase, I can't catch up.

The identity of this person remains a mystery for now.

This tomb is very shabby, and there are no valuable funeral objects. Just when the two of us were about to leave, Brother Yu was sharp-eyed, and he accidentally discovered a stone tablet hidden in a corner of the wall.

The stone tablet is embedded in the blue brick wall as a whole, if you don't pay close attention to it, you can't find it at all.

It's the epitaph.

People with status in the Ming Dynasty were generally buried with epitaphs, similar to ID cards of living people. Tomb robbers generally don't want this thing.

And in the major domestic antique markets, you can hardly see the epitaph, because as soon as this thing is displayed, anyone who is not a fool will know that it was unearthed from a tomb. The epitaph is the same as the soul bottle or the barn.

Two years ago in Yuncheng, there was a courageous man who collected epitaphs. Later, he was caught after working for more than half a year and sentenced to seven and a half years.

Brother Yu helped me illuminate and asked me what was written on it.

The epitaph embedded in the brick wall has a total of two to three hundred characters, and some parts are hard to understand, but the general meaning is about the life of a military officer named Jin Along.

The epitaph says that he joined the army in the third year of Hongwu, and lived until he died of illness in the 30th year of Hongwu. In this year, the official Jin Along paid homage to Beidu to direct the affairs. From the third rank officer, he is similar to the current deputy minister of the armed logistics department. He is mainly responsible for maintaining the border military projects. and defense building.

And one year after Jin Along's death, that is, in the 31st year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang died. Zhu Yuanzhang's grandson, Emperor Jianwen, began a short period of four years in power. Four years later, the Jingnan Rebellion broke out in the Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Yongle seized power. Since then, the Ming Dynasty has gradually stabilized.

After reading the epitaph, I felt very strange.

Why do you say that.

Because this is Jin Along's own epitaph. In ancient times, the epitaph would only be made when someone died.

But it's not right....

On the arched door outside the tomb, the stone brick on the door is engraved: "Jin Along's beloved daughter, the tomb of Jin Youzi."

Where did this Jin Youzi go? ?

There is only one sarcophagus in the main tomb, so father and daughter couldn't die together and lie in the same coffin, right?

This kind of situation exists, but that is an example. The tomb of the Wanyan noble couple in the Jin Dynasty was buried in the same coffin. The actual situation is that the man died first, and the woman drank the poison, and then the woman asked to lie down. in the coffin.

In addition, the tombs discovered in the past dynasties were buried in separate coffins, not in the same coffin, not to mention that Jin Along and Jin Youzi are father-daughter relationships.

If the two of them lay in the same coffin, it would be a violation of the social system and human ethics at that time, and they would be scolded.

Therefore, I directly ruled out the possibility of being buried in the same coffin.

So now there are only two possibilities left.

The first type is that the words on the short arches are blindly carved, not counted. This brick-chambered tomb in the early Ming Dynasty is the tomb of the third-rank official Jin Along.

The second is that there may be another tomb nearby, the tomb of Jin Youmei.

If it is the second case.

Why is Jin Youzi's name deliberately engraved on the low arch?

I'm still not sure about this, but I have a vague feeling that this place may hide some kind of secret, some kind of secret that no one knows.

"How is your waist, Brother Yu, can you walk or not." I helped him walk out slowly.

Brother Yu took a deep breath: "That blow just now was too violent, I have to take it easy, let go first."

I let go of my hand, and he tried to walk a few steps. Although his expression was a little pained, he seemed to be fine.

The person lying in the coffin does not know his name, because his eyes have problems, I call him Red Eyes.

He must have also got in through the low arch, thanks to his eyesight problem, otherwise Brother Yu would have been discovered when he kicked the low arch. If that was the case, he would definitely not be in the mood to lie in a coffin and eat hawthorn candies.

I secretly guessed.

Could it be that red-eyed people can't see clearly?In other words, he is simply blind and can't see anything.

The red-eyed man disappeared, and there was nothing valuable in the tomb. We only took two things with us when we left.

Inside the coffin was a quilt from Yinchuan No. [-] Middle School, and the short-handled Luoyang shovel that was broken in two.

Brother Yu flinched and couldn’t walk fast. We chased him for an hour, and walked for two and a half hours when we got back. It was already past midnight when we arrived at the camp. Bean Sprouts kept his words alive this time, and he was digging a hole when we returned. Digging.

"Fengzi, you're probably back, have you caught anyone?"

I shook my head and said no.

He asked me where I picked up the quilt in my hand.

I didn't answer directly, and asked him what he was digging for.

"What else can I do?" Bean Sprouts pointed behind his back: "The old horse has done that. Watching it in the middle of the night can scare a person to death. Hurry up and bury it."

I didn't dare to look at Ma Deming's body, so I didn't stop him, but went to see Liao Bo and Xiaomi.

Liao Xiaomi is really timid, even timid than a little girl. When I saw him, he was still in shock.

I threw the quilt over and said, "Liao Boxiaomi, you can use it, it's too cold here at night."

Liao Bo took the quilt and covered Xiaomi's lap, then gave me a grateful look and said thank you.

"No thanks, it should be."

"Is it warmer?" I asked Liao Xiaomi.

I don't know if it's the heat or what happened, but his face suddenly turned red, and he buried his head in the quilt, not daring to look at me, and it could even be said that his expression was a little shy.

Seeing him like this, the corner of my mouth twitched.

Immediately, the whole person felt bad.

Goosebumps also popped up on my arms.
