Sacrifice of Grave Robbers

"Looks like this is the tomb of a beauty. There might be a beautifying zongzi here. Seeing how handsome Master Ma is, what should I do if he decides to keep me as his husband? Wait a minute, let me prepare." As he said that, Ma Wenqing took out a bunch of gold and jade Guanyin and other things from his big backpack and put them on. Then he stroked his hair with his hand, posing in a pose that he thought was cool, and greeted Chen Yu: "Okay, let's do this." That's all right, let's go, let's look at another section, if there is no mechanism, go up and call for someone."

Standing by the side, Chen Yu despised him silently with his eyes, and then said lightly, "Do you really think that with me by your side, the beauty would be so blind to you? Of course, if it is a zongzi, I will give it to you unconditionally. Do not worry."

Zongzi is a term used by tomb robbers, which means zombies; zombies that are difficult to deal with are also called big zongzi.

"Damn, just pull it, your face is also effective in deceiving the masses. Waiting to go out, you have to ask everyone to torture you." Ma Wenqing cursed and walked forward cautiously.

The tomb passage was cloudy, with a strange smell of decay, and the walls painted with murals were very long. Chen Yu wanted to stop and take a closer look at the contents of the paintings on both sides, while Ma Wenqing was anxious to find the main tomb.The miner's lamp on Chen Yu's head didn't have strong penetrating power, and he could only see a few meters in front and back, but the wolf-eye flashlight in Ma Wenqing's hand could shine a hundred meters away.

It was the first time for Chen Yu to go to the tomb. If he was really thrown into the dark and dull tomb passage, it would be a bad thing. He could only follow Ma Wenqing closely.In the haste, I can only see that the pictures on the wall are getting more and more refined. It is obvious that the initial part was completed in a hurry.

As he was walking, Chen Yu suddenly felt a slight air flow on his side, and hurriedly greeted him: "Wait, Wen Qing, take a photo to the left."

Ma Wenqing also felt it, and the flashlight shone through, revealing a dark hole.

The two walked a few steps towards the entrance of the cave, and saw even shovel marks around the cave under the light of the flashlight. The roofs of the tombs of the Qing Dynasty are very thick, and sometimes there are bricks or stones more than two meters thick, and the robbers generally avoid the roofs.

Ma Wenqing frowned, "Most of Qing Dynasty tombs are well-raised and buried lightly, but the bottles, jars, gold and silver, calligraphy and paintings inside still attract many people, and they are easy to sell. It seems that, as Professor Qian said, this place has long been used Visited first."

"Well, there are mostly Han tombs in Yunnan, and Qing Dynasty tombs are also common, but such a large-scale Qing tomb is rarely seen, which is a bit interesting. However, have you noticed that this tomb is so particular, and then estimate the size of the tomb, the burial He's not a prince. It's just that it's strange why he's in this deep mountain." Chen Yu laughed, turned around and walked forward.

After walking for about 5 minutes, I turned a corner along the tomb path, and a jade gate appeared. There were faint red threads in the white jade, and dragons and phoenixes were carved on the gate.

Ma Wenqing and Chen Yu looked at each other, Chen Yu pulled Ma Wenqing who was about to go forward, and said, "There is no problem in the tomb passage, go back and tell the teacher, and then everyone will come down together."

Ma Wenqing hesitated for a moment, then nodded, and followed Chen Yu back to the wooden house along the original road.

Professor Qian and Professor Wang were waiting at the entrance of the cave with a large group of people. Seeing them coming out, they breathed a sigh of relief and asked about the situation inside.

Chen Yu described the general situation, and then said: "There is a robbery cave. Going down from here, there is a tomb passage not far away. Judging from the size of the tomb, the tomb is very large. The people buried inside must be very dignified."

Professor Qian's eyes lit up, "Go down and have a look first. Although the excavation will take a few days until the archaeologists arrive, we can still do preliminary work."

In order to make it easier for everyone to go down, the entrance of the cave was dug by the students again, which is larger and has a gentle slope.The soil layer on the mountain is not too thick, and the tomb is not too deep.

Many students entered the tomb for the first time, and with curiosity and excitement, they took pictures around the murals in the tomb passage.Chen Yu finally had time to look carefully at the content of the mural. The previous section depicted women. After looking at it for a while, he suddenly said, "This painting seems to be the same person. Could it be the owner of the tomb?"

Professor Qian nodded and said approvingly: "It is indeed a person, not necessarily the owner of the tomb, it may also be the tomb of a husband and wife. Take a look at the back."

Afterwards, it is the scene of war, the general riding a horse, leading the soldiers to fight on the battlefield, and the opponent throws away his helmet and armor.Later, the defeated party sent countless gold, silver and jewels to appease the general.

However, when the screen changed, the general arrived outside the pass and joined forces with another team.

Then there was this general who ruled one side separately, rich and powerful.The last painting shows the general standing on the bright yellow and domineering Golden Luan Hall, enthroned as the emperor, and all the ministers below bow down piously, and the emperor is surrounded by a beautiful woman.

"Old Qian, what do you think?" Professor Wang seemed to have thought of something, and his face was slightly excited.

Professor Qian's eyes became brighter the more he looked, and he grabbed Professor Wang's hand, "Just as Brother Wang thought, this is probably his tomb. If it is true, it would be a major discovery in the archaeological world."

"What did the teacher see? It is impossible for the emperor of the Qing Dynasty to be buried here." Yao Wenwen had been taking pictures just now, and now Qiao Yi, Chen Yu, Ma Wenqing and others surrounded the two professors and came over to ask.

"Really...Wu Sangui?" Chen Yu suddenly asked.

Professor Qian patted Chen Yu's shoulder in relief, "Young children can be taught."

Wu Sangui's tomb has always been a mystery during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. There is also a saying that it is under a pagoda in Guizhou, but it has not been confirmed.If the tomb of Wu Sangui is discovered now, a mystery in the archaeological and historical circles will be solved, which can be regarded as a major discovery, and the students are also excited.

When passing through the robbery hole, Professor Wang was heartbroken again, but Professor Qian went in to have a look, and sighed: "In terms of experience, those of us who are theoretical are far behind those who are practical." Chen Yu and Ma Wenqing worked hard Controlling facial expressions, no one dared to show complacency.

When everyone came to Yumen, the two teachers told everyone to step back, stepped forward to have a look, pushed twice, but the door didn't move, and let out a cry of surprise.

"This door is locked from the inside. This kind of situation is rare. It seems that it is still difficult to get in today." Professor Qian frowned.

The two jade gates were closed facing each other without any flaws. There were two small holes in the bottom, which were only as thick as two fingers.It was dark, and a lighted candle was placed next to the black hole. The candle flame went up vertically without any distortion. Obviously, these two small holes were also sealed.

Ma Wenqing pushed Chen Yu and said with a smile, "Let Chen Houzi try it, maybe there will be a miracle."

Chen Yubai glanced at Ma Wenqing, and cursed in a low voice: "Why don't you try your method?"

Ma Wenqing raised his eyebrows, and said in a low voice, "Do you think the professor will let me blow up the door?"

"get out."

Chen Yu took two steps towards the door, looked at Professor Qian's impatient eyes, and said, "Teacher, let me try and ask Wen Qing to help me."

Professor Qian was amused when he heard it, "Okay, you still have this ability, I really didn't realize it."

In fact, Ma Wenqing didn't need to help, he just stood beside Chen Yu, blocking the view behind him.Then I saw Chen Yu with his back to the crowd, quickly put on a pair of black gloves, then touched the jade gate with both hands, and slapped it one foot down the middle of the right, and a slender strip of jade turned into the gate go.Chen Yu's hand reached into the black hole for a while, and then came out again, and the jade had returned to its original shape.

"All right."

When everyone was looking at the intact Yumen in doubt, the door suddenly made a dull sound. Chen Yu pulled Ma Wenqing, and the two moved away from the door.

Yumen moved to both sides, but fortunately there was no mechanism behind the door, it was just a musty smell.After the cloud of black air dissipated, the screams immediately rang through everyone's eardrums.

There was a person leaning against the door, standing motionless and facing the archaeological team of teachers and students.

Ma Wenqing pulled a Jade Buddha down from his neck, and with a shake of his hand, he was about to throw it over.The gun in Chen Yu's hand was also trembling, he was really not very courageous.

At this time, someone behind him suddenly slapped him on the shoulder, Chen Yu was startled, and hurriedly looked back, Qiao Yi looked at him with a smile, and said, "It's okay, this guy is dead."

Everyone took a closer look, and sure enough, it was just a corpse standing by the door.Maybe it wasn't too long since he died before it started to rot, his eyes were blurred, but everyone felt that there was hatred in that person's eyes.What's even more frightening is that the skin on the corpse's exposed clothes is covered with tiny purple-black spots, which looks very frightening.

Then, the corpse lost the support of the door, wobbled, and fell backwards.The man was wearing a modern jacket and trousers, and a backpack was open at his feet, revealing the Luoyang shovel inside.

Professor Qian took two steps forward. The corpse was smelly. He observed the corpse carefully, and finally frowned and said, "This is a grave robber. The cause of death is poisoning. Don't touch this corpse." After hesitating for a few seconds, he turned his head Looking at Professor Wang, the two looked at each other.

Professor Qian continued: "Go inside, be careful when passing the door, and don't mess around with the things inside."

Chen Yu saw that the last place where the corpse stood was by the door, and thought that there were no footprints going back outside, so he couldn't help wondering, could it be that the people in the Yumen couldn't get out?Thinking of this, Chen Yu was careful, and turned back to block a shovel in the middle of the door.

Turning around, seeing Ma Wenqing stuffing something black into the corpse's mouth, Chen Yu was startled: "Although your colleagues are enemies, you wouldn't abuse the corpse, right?"

Ma Wenqing stopped playing, and said with a wry smile: "This is a black donkey's hoof, to prevent the corpse from turning into a corpse. I always think that this person died in a wicked way."

Chen Yu felt panicked in his heart, and he thought of his father's stern admonition: Chen Yu, you must never go to the tomb.

After Ma Wenqing stuffed the black donkey's hoof, he changed into a pair of gloves.Turning around, I realized that Chen Yu, who was still in a daze just now, had gone to look through the man's backpack, and put a flashlight, a few batteries, and a few candles into his big bag.

Damn, it's not enough to take advantage of this!While thinking bitterly, he dragged Chen Yu inside.

The main hall behind the door has been illuminated by the flashlights in the hands of the students, and many people are taking pictures.Except for the corpse at the door, there was no vision in other places in the hall.

In the middle is the base of three steps, with bronze cranes standing on both sides, spreading their wings and ready to fly, like a gesture of expulsion to those who enter the tomb.This hall is in the style of the Jinluan Hall. If it is the tomb of Wu Sangui, he is really obsessed with wanting to be an emperor, and he will live in the palace even after death.

There is a door on the right side. After taking pictures, everyone walked behind the door. Behind it is the main tomb, with two coffins lined up side by side in the east-west direction.The coffins of the rich and powerful generally have two layers, the outer layer is called the coffin, and the inner layer is called the coffin.The material used for the outer outer coffin is quite precious golden nanmu, one is carved with a phoenix, and the other is carved with a dragon, which is obviously a couple's tomb.

It's just that a few pieces of evil-suppressing talisman papers were pasted on the outside of the dragon-patterned coffin, and the bright red symbols on the talisman papers seemed to laugh at everyone with teeth and claws.A boy suddenly went to the dragon-patterned coffin in a numb manner, and stretched out his hand to uncover the talisman paper.

"What are you doing!" Chen Yu's eyes were quick, and he grabbed the boy and shouted.The boy looked at Chen Yu in a daze, and suddenly came back to his senses. Seeing Chen Yu holding his hand, his face turned red first, then turned pale, and said with trembling lips, "I don't know, just go there I can't control myself at all."

Professor Qian came over to look at it solemnly, and said, "Everyone, don't get close to the dragon pattern coffin, this talisman paper may have a hypnotic effect."

The hearts raised by the crowd were put down again, and they gathered around another coffin with phoenix pattern.

"Hey, there's no one in this phoenix coffin!" Huang Mao Fangjin said suddenly.

The lid of the coffin carved with phoenixes was staggered. Fang Jin and a few students were standing in the front, looking inside with flashlights on.

"Only a few pieces of torn clothes..." Fang Jin suddenly reached in, and when Professor Qian stopped him, Fang Jin had already brought out a thin notebook.

A few other people went into the side room next to the funerary objects, came out regretfully, and said, "Professor, there should be a lot of funeral objects inside, but the ground is messy, most of them have been stolen, and there are also some broken porcelain jars and Several large clay pots."

Since there are burglary holes, which is expected, Professor Qian asked the students to classify and number the ear chambers, and do some simple things.He and Professor Wang began to study the manuscripts discovered today, and Chen Yu also leaned over to look at them. Ma Wenqing had already gone around to look at the funeral objects. Speaking of which, he was indeed more like the heir of a tomb robber family than Chen Yu.

The manuscript is very soft, and the paper is extremely thin and slightly yellowed.The cover is blank, and on the first page, there is a beautiful hairpin Xiaokai who writes a poem: "Looking at the autumn lights with a little red, the dream soul still wanders around the palace. Open the window and try to ask Chang'e, how can I be so miserable. "The paper is full of sadness and loneliness.

"It seems that this is Wu Sangui's tomb, and this poem was written by Chen Yuanyuan, who was handed down from later generations." Professor Wang explained.

Everyone also nodded, probably the only woman who could bring Wu Sangui with him when he died was Chen Yuanyuan, who was so angry that she became a beauty. No wonder the rather long section of the tomb outside depicted a beauty.

Turning down again, there is a large blank space.Until reaching the middle part of the letter, there are beautiful notes coming out.

"On the [-]th day of the fifth month, the king returns home with his slaves and vows to grow old together.

On the third day of the sixth lunar month, the king entrusted his slaves to the deputy general, so he left and returned within five days;

On the sixth day of the seventh month, the king has not yet returned, and everyone is looking forward to it.

On the [-]th day of the seventh month, the deputy general sent his family to leave a maid, and her words and deeds gradually became less respectful and servile. On the [-]th day of the horrified day, the artisans all left.

On the [-]th day of August, the deputy general burned the house to the ground and stayed in the tomb. The voice of the maid died."

"Damn it, this lieutenant general is no better than a beast, not to mention the dove occupying the magpie's nest, and even taking his little wife with him!" Ma Wenqing was angrily.

"Well, obviously the person who built this underground palace was really Wu Sangui, king of Pingxi, but he left for an urgent matter and never came back. Before leaving, he entrusted this place and his concubine to the deputy general, but the entrustment was not human. In other words, the dragon It's not actually Wu Sangui in Wen's coffin." Professor Qian shook his head and sighed while analyzing.

Everyone looked at such a diary-like thing, and then turned their heads to look at the dragon-patterned coffin. The ancients attached great importance to Fengshui treasure caves, and a good burial is related to the well-being of the descendants. There is even a saying that the corpse will become a fairy.What this lieutenant has done is really disloyal.

But where did Chen Yuanyuan go?

This time, Professor Qian didn't see a full page until he turned to the last page. The general meaning of the content is as follows: The deputy general is ambitious, revenges his kindness, and occupies the mausoleum of the prince.Pity me for thinking about it every day, but the lord did not come back after all.It wasn’t until today that I walked out unintentionally that I realized that those who come here cannot leave and cannot leave. The colorful flowers and trees outside are full of scary snakes.They have gorgeous patterns on their bodies, they have two legs, they move very fast, and they are highly poisonous.This basilisk is very strange, people entering the valley are not in any danger, but if people go out, they will swarm up, and the corpses of those craftsmen are under the flower trees.Maybe it wasn't a snake at all, but an emissary of a demon.

They come out at night, and we can only be safe if we stay in this underground palace.The deputy general burned the top because we can only live below.

Before dark, the door of the underground palace must be closed.

The road at Taniguchi can only come in, not go out.

I just don't know whether these poisonous snakes were arranged by the lieutenant general, or they were there before. Did the prince get out of the valley safely?

Another: After all, I couldn't hold back that place. Even though I was afraid, let's go again.It's like, if I drag out my life and live in this underground palace, I am no different from a dead person.

Seeing this, the tomb became quiet, and everyone suddenly understood why the people beside the Yumen looked so dead.

"His grandma, what the hell is going on, no wonder there are no footprints going back!" Chen Yu was furious, he really didn't like snakes, not to mention, this snake was still very poisonous and could kill people.

Ma Wenqing suddenly turned pale, looked straight at Chen Yu and asked, "Did you close the door just now?"
