Chapter 134: The Empty Coffin in the Main Burial Chamber


After a short discussion, we decided to be the first to enter the tomb door on the left.According to the traditional etiquette of the country, the left is the top, which means that the tomb on the left is very likely to be the main tomb.Because the specifications of this tomb are not high, there is no broken dragon stone behind the door of the tomb, but a large lock full of patina is hung in front of the door.This big lock is different from what we usually see, and the shape is very peculiar.The lock is made of copper and was the most common padlock in ancient times.The body of the lock is curved, and the head of the beast is delicately carved on it, but because it is so corroded by patina, I can't make out exactly what kind of beast's head it is, but it is nothing more than a lion, a unicorn, or a pixiu.Because Pixiu is not only a town house to exorcise evil spirits, but also a saying that it is a wealthy and prosperous family, and considering that the owner of the tomb is a salt merchant magnate, I guess it should be a Pixiu copper lock.As far as I know, there has been no Pixiu copper lock unearthed in the world, so this lock must be of great value to archaeology.In addition to the peculiar shape of the lock body, the shrink rod is also very distinctive, in the shape of a bow, which seems to be engraved with small characters, but it is difficult to make out clearly.After all, I am no longer a pure tomb robber, and I don't want to destroy valuable things, I was thinking about digging tomb bricks from the side to enter, and suddenly saw Leng Yue reaching out to pull the lock, and hurriedly said: "This lock" As soon as I opened my mouth to say two words, I heard a "click", Leng Yue actually pulled the lock open, and unexpectedly damaged the lock lever.Leng Yue glanced back at me, then looked at the copper lock that had been damaged in his hand, and said, "I want to give it to you." ”As he spoke, he shoved the lock into my hand, leaving me speechless for a while.I reluctantly threw aside the damaged Pixiu copper lock, and while looking at Leng Yue, he had already pushed the tomb door open with black leather gloves.As the door of the tomb opened, a strange smell poured out.I will think of the danger when I opened the gate of the emperor's mausoleum, and I can't help but be afraid for a while.Generally, the ancients set up anti-theft for the tomb, and they would seal the tomb door, some would hide the king's water in the back, and some would hide poisonous gas, all kinds of things, but they were all things that cost people's lives.Leng Yue's behavior is really too reckless.I reached out and dragged Leng Yue back a few steps, covering my nose with my hand, but it was too late, and I still inhaled the strange-smelling gas gushing from the tomb into my lungs.Leng Yue also smelled the strange smell of the air, her face changed, she quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth and nose, and retreated to the tomb door where she came in with us.In the tomb robbery industry, no matter how vigilant you are, you will not be laughed at, but if you are careless, you are likely to lose your life.In extreme anxiety, we were silent for a long time, and we didn't feel anything wrong with our bodies before we let go.We waited a little longer for a while to get used to the strange smell before we entered the chamber.The structure of the burial chamber is very rudimentary, with a coffin in the center and nothing else.The remaining space in the chamber was a little cramped, barely enough for the four of us.The ground here is the same as the outside, and it is also slightly arched, and it is also a waterproof design with low sides on both sides of the central high.Actually, from my point of view as a modern person, such a design is a little redundant.It has been too many years since the tomb was officially opened.If water does seep from the ground, then the air will always remain moist, and it will inevitably corrode everything in it.Sure enough, under the beam of the flashlight, I could clearly see that the coffin had rotted in many places, and it was completely out of shape.Therefore, I suspect that the things that can be corroded in the coffin are probably also seriously damaged, and they are not much better than the Pixiu copper locks, or even worse.Leng Yue stepped forward slowly, lifted the pair of iron chopsticks and inserted them through the rotten gap in the coffin and stabbed them a few times, without making any sound.Leng Yue slowly withdrew the iron chopsticks, turned around and said, "Go to the other side."

Because Heizi and Zhao Zitong were blocking the door, I guessed that Leng Yue's words were said to the two of them.However, Zhao Zitong was not ready to get out of the way, and asked with a puzzled face: "Don't you open the coffin and take a look" Leng Yue glanced at Zhao Zitong ignorantly, and did not answer, but made a gesture, signaling Zhao Zitong and Leng Yue to give way quickly.Zhao Zitong hurriedly said: "I asked you, why don't you ignore me, why don't you open the coffin and see if you are leaving" Leng Yue replied a little helplessly: "Empty coffin."

Zhao Zitong was stunned when he heard this, then frowned, and asked: "Just by poking a few times with your two pipes, you can be sure that there is nothing in the coffin, I don't believe it."

What if, you stabbed it too far" Leng Yue seemed to be a little impatient, turned around sharply, raised her foot and kicked the edge of the coffin lid.Only a dull "click" sound was heard, and the coffin lid shattered into many pieces.Zhao Zitong was frightened by Leng Yue's sudden surprise, and after relieving himself, he glared at Leng Yue fiercely, and then poked his head out to look inside the coffin like a curious baby.I reluctantly raised my flashlight to shine inside the coffin, showing the empty scene inside the coffin to Zhao Zitong.Although I believed what Leng Yue said, I was also a little surprised to see with my own eyes that there was nothing in this coffin in the main burial chamber.Could it be that Wang Jintang didn't die back then, he built this tomb just to hide people's eyes, but we are not here to find out the truth, I don't want to think too much about this issue.I said to Zhao Zitong: "I see it now" Zhao Zitong frowned and asked me: "You often encounter empty coffins when robbing tombs" Before I could answer, Leng Yue had already coldly opened her mouth and urged: "Get out of the way." ”"Get out of the way, get out of the way."

Zhao Zitong and Heizi were displeased and exited the tomb first and gave up their places.Leng Yue and I were about to go out with us, but suddenly we heard Zhao Zitong's exclamation outside."

What's the matter" I hurriedly asked loudly, and rushed out quickly, only to see Zhao Zitong staring at the direction of the tomb on the other side, covering his mouth with his hands, as if he was frightened."

Kuroko, what's going on," I asked Kuroko.Kuroko also looked frightened, and whispered in a slightly trembling voice, "We saw a man enter that tomb." ”"Someone" I looked at the tomb door not far away, and found that the vaulted double tomb door was as closed as I had seen before.I haven't heard anything unusual since we entered the main burial chamber."

Could it be wrong," I asked, frowning.Zhao Zitong let go of the hand covering his mouth and asked me: "One person can be wrong, is it possible that both of us can be wrong" "What does that person look like" I asked.Zhao Zitong shook his head and replied, "It's too fast, I didn't see it clearly." ”Leng Yue also walked out at this time, and without saying a word, she didn't talk to the tomb door over there, and after observing for a while, she reached out to push the tomb door.That's when I noticed that there was no padlock on the door."

Why, can't you push it open" I saw that Leng Yue didn't push open the tomb door, and hurriedly walked over to ask.Leng Yue looked at me and replied in a deep voice, "It's blocked by something inside." ”Mobile Visit: AA2705221:
