Tomb Raider Gu Tomb Miscellaneous Notes

Each brick has 1000 steps, a total of [-] and [-] steps.

Such a precise arithmetic problem and such meticulous work are really not suitable for Lao Tzu.

I silently counted to three hundred steps, already sweating profusely.

The incense burner was on a square brick in front of me, a dozen or so steps ahead of me.The ups and downs of his feet are very light and soundless. It seems that he often does this kind of meticulous work. To be honest, I feel very tight in my chest.

Chest tightness is chest tightness, what men can't let go of is face, but I still have to put it down to ask important things.I said: "What if I forget how many steps I took when I counted to the end?" 1000 two hundred, who has tried silently counting from one to 1000 two hundred?

The faces of those figurines are all lifelike, as if they were living figurines. The ferocious faces are eternally frozen, staring straight at us.And we come into close contact with them every time we step over them.

These vivid faces made me feel that they were alive, but they were sealed in clay and fired into figurines. In some cracks, I seemed to be able to feel the pale skin of a person underneath.

When people are nervous, such a simple thing as counting becomes very difficult.In this grotesque place, my ability to keep calm and walk three hundred steps is already the limit!

Seeing that the incense burner didn't make any sound, I hurriedly said, "It's hard for me to guarantee that I won't be wrong when I count to the end. I'm a bit of a big guy. If I touch the mechanism, will it mean that we both will suffer together with you? "

The incense burner said: "I'll count for you, it won't be wrong."

I froze for a moment, an inexplicable warmth rippling in my heart, and at the same time, there was a little hotness on my face.Heart said: Incense burner...you are not bad.

In times of crisis, when life hangs on the knife, sometimes we need the help of others.The words of the incense burner really made my face full of guilt at the time.Damn, it's up to him whether I can go out and have fun!

In this way, I feel that I have a sustenance, and I am not so nervous.In the end, he broke through the thousand mark smoothly, and the coffin bed was close at hand.

That coffin is a sarcophagus.

Since I thought this was the tomb of Zhu Yunwen, and the incense burner said it was the tomb of the prince, my first reaction was to see the specifications of the coffin bed and coffin to determine the status of the tomb owner.

The coffin bed is framed on the nine-level stepping stone, and the heavens are in the sky. I think this should be a symbol of the emperor's supreme status.

But that coffin was unexpectedly plain, without any carvings or decorations on it, only a little cloud pattern decoration on the joint between the coffin lid and the coffin body.

There are usually gods or objects to suppress evil around the coffin bed, and there are also fixed coffin stones at the four corners, but there is nothing here, only a lonely coffin. I don’t know what kind of stone is used. obsidian.

Maybe it's my ignorance. Although obsidian is also used to ward off evil spirits, I have never heard of it being used to make coffins.

I asked the incense burner: "Is this the coffin of the owner of the tomb? The ostentation here is so grand, why is the coffin so simple, it doesn't look worth much money, the tomb robbers finally got here, and they probably cried when they saw this coffin gone."

This place goes deep underground, and the entrance is extremely complicated. Those who can reach this place must not be able to remove such a large coffin.Generally, the coffins of noble people are often inlaid with precious stones, which are extremely delicate. If the tomb robbers do not care about the value of cultural relics, they will dig up the precious stones and take them away, and they can also sell them for money.I actually know a few antique collectors, and some people only collect gems on the coffins, saying that they absorb the dragon's energy from the underground Fengshui treasure caves, and they must be excellent things for wealth transfer.

The person who came to steal this tomb is probably going to return in vain.

The incense burner walked dully and stopped talking.

I gradually felt that the whole tomb was extremely weird. The tomb was full of geomantic formations, as well as corpse pits and corpse puppets, which showed that the owner of the tomb was a person who knew the way very well, so he made such careful arrangements in his tomb.

But there are many feelings of imitation. For example, when I saw the stone door of the tomb, the first thing I thought of was that there was an identical door in Zhu Tan’s tomb, and the Qin bricks used in the tomb passage seemed so abrupt, the tomb passage The layout and the terracotta warriors and horses here have the shadow of the Qin tomb.All of this is like a patchwork of things from tombs that have appeared in history. It is so messy that people can't see a way out, so they are blinded by all superficial illusions and can't guess the identity of the tomb owner. identity.

I think there must be a reason for this, but I still can't think of the answer based on my ability.

The more this is the case, the more people wonder what kind of background this mysterious tomb owner has. He feels like a sinister and paranoid person, which makes people dizzy.

The white coat said that he was more powerful than the emperor, and the incense burner said that he was against common sense, so what is the truth?

My mind was filled with all kinds of questions, and when I came back to my senses, I realized that I really forgot how many times I had counted before!

"Censer..." I blurted out without thinking, and my body froze in place, not daring to move.

"One thousand one hundred and three steps, yours." The incense burner seemed to understand what I meant, and immediately reported a number.

I breathed a sigh of relief, really grateful for his thoughtfulness.

When I walked the whole way, I was almost limp on the stone steps, feeling that half of my spirits and spirits were gone.The incense burner was alone on it. He walked around the coffin first, then put down the flashlight and began to move the coffin lid.

"Drag oil bottle, come and help."

He called out like a soul, and I trembled and climbed up panting.

I said: "I don't usually exercise much. I followed you in and walked so many ways. I go up and down for a while. Half my life is about to hang here. Let's take a rest. I can't run here with the coffin. You see, I'm still hurt."

I pointed to the back of my head, but when I saw the wound on the incense burner, I regretted it.

To tell you the truth, he looked much more injured than me. His tattered clothes were covered in blood, and his rolled-up sleeves revealed two pale arms with streaks of blood.

But he had no expression on his face, he just moved the coffin board and didn't speak.

I didn't know, I was too embarrassed to complain in front of him, so I sighed and helped with the work.

The cover of the coffin is much heavier than the coffin, and it is all made of solid stone.We first moved the coffin board a crack, and the incense burner waved me to stop, then took out a smokeless fireworks tube from our body, bit off the fuse with our mouths, and threw it into the coffin.

The chimney illuminated the interior, and the blinding firelight appeared in the cracks.I think the body of the owner of the tomb should be lying in the coffin. I don't know what the incense burner is doing.

But when the coffin lid was moved a few inches away, I realized that the coffin was empty!

"It's the Clothes Tomb again?!" I said in surprise, feeling as if I'd been teased, "Damn it, with such a big fight, shouldn't it be the corpse of the owner of the tomb here. Since you've been here, you know Is it empty? You have spent a lot of time to rob this tomb, what are you looking for?"

The incense burner made no sound, with a serious expression, and frowned slightly as he stared at the empty coffin.

I was like a headless chicken, scratching my head: "Should I still move?"

He nodded, and I pursed my mouth, having nothing to say.The two continued to remove the coffin lid almost halfway before stopping.

Since a chimney was missing inside, the fireworks hadn't been completely extinguished, so I could see what was inside at a glance.

There are several layers of coffins in many coffins, but not this one.Only a pair of coffin stones made of jade at the bottom of the coffin were engraved with fine patterns, but I didn't pay much attention to those patterns, because at this time my attention was all attracted by the thing placed in the middle.

Soft and white, crystal clear.It was a dragon pattern treasure box carved from suet jade.

There is no lock on the jade box, but there are traces of copper rust left by the copper lock.I was silent for a moment. At this moment, I remembered the story Shen Er told me, and I couldn't help but tremble slightly because of the excitement.

I took a deep breath and pointed to the jade box: "This one, can you open it and have a look?"

The incense burner seemed to have no interest in the jade box, and walked around the coffin with a flashlight, not knowing what it was looking for.Hearing my question, he looked at me and then at the jade box at the bottom of the coffin, and nodded slightly.

My heart surged with Peng Pan, and it was hard to describe the excitement at the moment, as if a child finally found a gift box hidden by an adult and couldn't wait to know the secret inside.

After hundreds of years, the sun reappeared.

I can suddenly understand the mood of the tomb robbers. Maybe when they touch a artifact, at that moment, they are not only pursuing the value of the treasure, but also the desire to learn from the past and the truth.

I climbed into the coffin, knelt down and touched the jade box. It felt warm and cold to my hand, it was really a rare treasure.

Since there is no lock, I can easily open the jade box, and inside the jade box, as I expected, is a suet jade box with a slightly smaller size and exactly the same style.

After repeating this seven times, there are a total of eight mutton fat jade boxes in front of me, exquisitely carved, as if they were made by nature.

Suddenly, it seemed that the scene that Shen Qianjiu saw back then was also displayed in front of my eyes, my heart shrank, and I suddenly realized.

Why didn't I think before that the "Prince" in the mouth of the incense burner might refer to the prince who invited Shen Qianjiu to the mansion!

Shen Qianjiu's subsequent series of mysterious behaviors, his bizarre experience of leading his three apprentices to fight against each other, and finally his horrifying and suspicious suicide in the tomb, the core of this link after link may lie in this A prince in the late Ming Dynasty.

Eight mutton fat jade boxes, perhaps the answer to all mysteries lies here.
