Chapter 117 Gold Pile
117 Chapter 117 Gold Pile

At this time, the fat man's eyes were as wide as copper bells, big and round, with an expression of surprise and joy on his face, the flesh on his face was trembling, and his smiling face was distorted with excitement. Said: "Wow...this is so fucking spectacular!"

Wu Xie was also very shocked when he saw the scene in front of him. He turned and looked around. There were four giant pillars full of reliefs standing in the four corners. The floor of the tomb was piled with small mountains of gold and silver vessels and precious stones. Glaze, pearls and jade, when the flashlight shines on it, it shines brightly and dazzlingly. Moreover, this is ten times larger than the wine burial chamber I just saw... I couldn't help but say: "This is too spectacular... I didn't expect this. There are so many treasures in the imperial mausoleum of a small, remote and weak country."

Pan Zi said excitedly: "What did I say? The Jurchen treasury and the annual tribute of the Southern Song Dynasty. I'm damn right."

The fat man said: "If you just take out a few of the things here, you can eat them for a lifetime." As he said this, he wanted to roll into the pile of gold and silverware.

Wu Xie still had some sense in his heart, so he grabbed the fat man and said to him: "Hey, don't get carried away. Many gold objects in tombs are sprayed with poison. It would be terrible if you rolled inside and were poisoned to death." Silly, I think it’s best not to touch these things.”

Just as he was saying this, Pan Zi couldn't control himself and rushed into the pile of gold utensils. He grabbed a handful of gold utensils and stood in the pile of gold utensils, staring at it in amazement. He was so excited that he couldn't help but tremble. Shivering, he held them, and then let go. Those treasures slipped from his fingers onto the pile of gold, making a sound of metal collision.

Wu Xie saw that Pan Zi had grabbed a few handfuls and was safe and sound. He knew that the gold weapons were not poisonous, so he felt relieved. These ordinary people in front of him really couldn't resist. Even he had the urge to go up and grab them. He couldn't help but go up and grab them too. A handful.

Holding them in his hand, Wu Xie laughed almost uncontrollably.At the same time, he also sighed: "I don't know who said it. Human beings' love for gold has been written into genes and has become an innate and irresistible instinct. He is damn right. "

Looking at those treasures, Wu Xie thought to himself, even though he was so sanctimonious on the surface, he couldn't control the thrill of seeing the gold at this moment. It came from his heart, and he couldn't deceive himself even if he wanted to. I couldn't help but sigh, thinking that I like these things.

Next, they ran into those things, holding handfuls here and there, looking at this and that, as if they had forgotten everything.

Everything in the golden pile was of high quality. The fat man emptied out all the things in his bag, picked a few items and put them into the bag. But in the blink of an eye, he saw better ones, and then he took out all the things in the bag. Pour it out and replace it with another batch, and this cycle continues for a long time.They are so dazzled now that they don't know where to start. They always want to take away the best, but there will always be something better than what they have in their hands.

I remember that humans have discovered and used gold for 7000 years.The mining and use of gold in our country has a history of at least 4000 years.Gold has been known since about the Neolithic Age.The earliest gold products date from the early Shang Dynasty.

Gold has good ductility and strong plasticity, and it can be used to make jewelry with complex and exquisite shapes.People will also become accustomed to expressing the symbol of victory in the power game as gold.

I have also heard a saying that the golden color of gold represents the light of the sun god and is the body of the god.Therefore, some people who believe in reincarnation believe that wearing a complete set of gold jewelry after death can protect them from this life and the next.

I saw that they were crazy for a long time until they were exhausted. At this moment, Wu Xie gradually calmed down from the extremely excited state. Suddenly he realized that something was wrong. He didn't hear Shunzi's voice after he came in. He hurriedly removed the jewelry from the store. Duili stood up and looked around with his flashlight. Soon he saw Shunzi standing on a pile of gold objects, stunned, not knowing what he was looking at.

Wu Xie walked over and asked him: "What are you doing? Aren't you excited to see all this gold?"

Shunzi didn't speak, but pointed down.Yes, they found those huddled corpses surrounded by countless treasures.

Suddenly, Wu Xie's excitement disappeared, and he felt that this was not good.Fatty and Pan Zi saw them both standing there, thinking they had found another treasure. They rushed over to take a look, but they saw several corpses.

The fat man felt strange and asked: "What's going on? Who are these people? Our colleagues?"

Wu Xie shook his head, put on gloves and began to look for clues on them. He looked through the backpacks and clothes of those people and said to them: "This kind of dress should be more popular in the 80s and 90s. Now in the rural areas of Northeast China, People who are about 50 or 5 years old can also wear them. We have seen many such old men in Yingshan Village. Judging from the degree of decay, these people should have died here for 20 to [-] years."

Pan Zi asked: "Could it be that the herb collectors or hunters from Changbai Mountain accidentally entered here and died unable to get out?"

Wu Xie was looking at the female corpse and shook his head and said: "It's impossible. Look, this female corpse has old-fashioned earrings hanging on its ears, and the hand is wearing an old-style plum blossom watch. This thing was considered mayor level at the time. People like this may not be able to get her, this woman is not from a small background, she doesn’t look like someone from the countryside.”

Pan Zi asked again: "Could those be the lost tourists from the 80s? Were they the ones who carved the marks we followed all the way here?"

Wu Xie can say with certainty: "Of course not." This mark has been seen in the tombs under the sea. It must have been carved by the relevant people, either Aning and the others, or Menyouping.Wu Xie said to them: "It's possible that tourists got lost, but how can they get lost and get to a place like this? This is an underground palace tomb passage. Can ordinary people come down there? Besides, ordinary people don't dare to come down without considerable courage. .

You see, this woman seems to have some background, and just what she is wearing, it is unclear whether she is the child of some leader, or she may have some connections with local bureaucrats, but if that is the case, her disappearance may have a great impact on the local area, Shunzi, you Ever heard of it? "

Turning around, he saw that Shunzi did not follow them and ran down. He still stayed on the pile of gold objects with a very stiff expression.

Wu Xie and the others felt strange and looked at each other. The fat man asked him, "What's wrong? Are you afraid of death? Why didn't I see you scared just now?"

Shunzi ignored the fat man and walked down step by step with heavy steps.

Wu Xie suddenly thought of the reason. Shunzi once told him...

The fat man wanted to pat him, but Wu Xie stopped him and waved his hand to him. The fat man asked softly: "What's wrong with him? Is he possessed?"

Wu Xie shook his head and said softly: "These corpses, if my guess is correct, may be those that Shunzi mentioned to me. His father brought the team to Changbai Mountain ten years ago, and the one Shunzi is looking at now The corpse might be his father, that's why he acted so nervously." Wu Xie simply told the fat man Pan Zi what he had guessed.

Shunzi didn't cry. After being excited for a moment, he relaxed and tidied his father's hair respectfully. However, the body was severely dehydrated and the hair fell down when touched. After finally tidying it up, his father's hair was I also have a lot of bald hair.He must still feel uncomfortable in his heart. Maybe he was lucky enough to have his father alive for ten years. Now that luck is shattered, he can be said to be relaxed, or he can be said to be desperate.

The fat man shed tears while listening and said: "My old man also left early. He worked for the country as a revolution all his life, and in the end he was labeled as a counter-revolutionary. I can understand your mood, Shunzi, but people always have to do the best." On the other hand, if father and son can meet again in ten years, God will take care of you, so be open-minded."

When the fat man cried, Pan Zi's eyes became wet, and he said to them with tears in his eyes: "Okay, okay, you all still have a father. I have never seen my father's face. The third master has always been like my father, and now Life and death are also unknown.”

Wu Xie hurriedly said: "You two are sick. Shunzi didn't even cry. Why are you two joining in the fun? Come and see why they died here."

Wu Xie always felt that if they had the ability to get here, there would be no reason why they couldn't get out. It would not be easy to get in here, but if they died here, then some accident must have happened.You must think carefully, but don't follow in their footsteps.

Wu Xie suspected that there must be something fishy about the appearance of these corpses. Shunzi had said that they had to enter the mountain when it was not suitable to do so, so they should not be ordinary tourists. Could there be an ulterior motive?

After thinking about it, everyone started rummaging through these people's backpacks.The novel "How Steel Was Tempered" by the rotten Song Kua Kua, three old work notebooks, pencils, tendon ropes, a marching tent, an old-fashioned flashlight, an old version of the Swiss Army Knife that still works, and a Korean-Chinese dictionary 1986 edition, bubble gum, old-fashioned lighter, flask, lipstick, sanitary belt, medical box (including gauze, alcohol, cotton and several medicinal liquors), military compass and various other things.

Putting all these things in a row, Wu Xie said: "According to the time, this equipment was quite complete. Although it is not as advanced as ours, it should not be a problem to get out. No matter how dangerous the environment is, these equipment can handle it."

As he spoke, he opened a notebook, which contained some accounts and phone numbers. Wu Xie muttered: "It's strange, they don't have anything to prove their identity, not even ID cards."

The fat man said: "This is strange. If these people have the ability to leave, if these people want to die, they should die on the way out. If they are all sitting here, isn't that equivalent to waiting to die? Could it be that they are reluctant to part with the treasure here? "

Wu Xie said, "Impossible. You think everyone is just like you. They can't move when they see the underworld weapon."

The fat man rolled his eyes without replying, squatting there and carefully looking at the things he took out.

Wu Xie suddenly felt a chill: "Tell me, is there something here? Do you feel that something seems to be watching us in this tomb?"

At this moment, the fat man on the side suddenly said "tsk": "Comrades, have you noticed that there is something missing in these things?"

Wu Xie was thinking about other problems. He didn't notice anything wrong when he looked at the equipment, so he asked directly: "What's missing?"

"Food! No food! Everyone has no food in their bags." The fat man said very seriously and sonorously.

Wu Xie suddenly said "Ah" and hurriedly looked at those things again: "There is really no food. This means that these people did not die due to accidents, because it would not be such a coincidence that everyone has no food..." Suddenly he felt an ominous feeling. premonition.

I sighed and gasped and muttered: "Of course that's not right. Sister Yujing once said that the average person can live about 3 to 5 days without eating or drinking, about 20 days without eating, and about 7 days without drinking water. God, if you don't sleep, you can live for about 5 days, and if you only drink water, you can usually live for about a month. Without big brains to cause trouble, as long as they have the intention to go out, how can they die here." After muttering, he sighed deeply.Now it seems that distracting "tired" attention is not very effective. When you are tired, you are tired...

At this moment, my head was a little dazed as I climbed. Basically, the mechanization continued all the way down. I asked him blankly: "Brother, I remember Zi Yan said that this road will take at least two hours to walk, which is four How many hours, how long have we been walking now?”

The boy looked down and said to me, "Did you see those things hanging?"

"I saw it."

"By the time you get to him, it will be almost four hours."

I looked down and saw that there was still a certain distance there. I felt a little worried because I was running out of energy...

The little brother suddenly said softly: "Girl, you really can't climb anymore, don't hold on."

I replied: "Yeah." I thought about persisting.

After Wu Xie analyzed it with them, he concluded: "If these people starve to death here, there is only one explanation. They can't get out."

After hearing this, the fat man understood and said: "You are afraid that the door to the tomb passage like the one in the undersea tomb will disappear. If that happens, we have explosives on us this time. Don't be afraid. The worst is to blow up the door." Come."

Wu Xie was uneasy, so he jumped up and ran up to the pile of gold objects to look at the door of the tomb when he came in. Seeing that the door was still there and had not disappeared, he breathed a sigh of relief, but he still felt uneasy and felt something was wrong.

Panzi asked Shunzi: "Do you know how many people are in the expedition team your father leads?"

Shunzi said: "I heard from my mother that there seemed to be only seven people, but this was only what she saw. She didn't know how many people there actually were. Anyway, my father set off with seven people before leaving."

Pan Zi counted: "Then there are... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, a total of 6 corpses, and at least two people are missing. These people died here, could they be those two people? Seeing Cai, he killed the people and two of them ran away."

Wu Xie immediately rejected this idea, shook his head and said: "Look at these people, there are no signs of fighting at all. Look at their movements and expressions, they are huddled together, and it doesn't look like they were poisoned or victimized." Death caused by external force. Mainly because their expressions are exactly the same. It feels like they are expressions of deep despair, as if they were trapped in a hopeless situation. This feels so weird."

After pondering for a long time, with each result, Fatty and the others began to want to tinker with those gold artifacts.Wu Xie was very calm this time and stopped them all at once: "You guys must be honest, there must be something fishy about these corpses, and don't forget the purpose of our coming here."

The fat man said "Ah": "Yeah, I'm really dizzy. I forgot what I came here for. The mark led us here, and the door was blown open, but it's just a treasure room inside? There's no coffin." , I think that mark probably means there is a visible weapon, and the mark must have been left by Aning and the others so that their second echelon could transport the treasure."

Wu Xie said: "It's possible that these corpses blew up the door, but this is just a tomb for burial objects. The coffin is definitely not here. We have to go in the opposite direction. This is the key point."

Fatty winked at Wu Xie and said, "Then, what should I do with those things?"

Wu Xie knew that he was reluctant to part with it, so he said, "Just take something away and it will be enough for you to live a carefree life for half your life. You don't have to be too greedy, and it's not impossible to come back in the future."

The fat man actually felt that something was not right about the death of those corpses, and he also murmured in his heart, but it was not his style to take nothing away, so he picked a few smaller gold objects and put them in his pocket. .

Shunzi insisted on taking his father's body out. The body was dehydrated, had little weight, and was not difficult to carry. He carried the body on his body in a backpack bag.

They took one last look at the dazzling golden agate pile, and had no choice but to be cruel and walked out of the explosion hole under the tomb door.

As soon as he walked out of the tomb door, the fat man said "hmm". Wu Xie had already had a premonition that something might go wrong, so he quickly picked up a flashlight and looked around.

Before his eyes, the red murals on the tomb passage all turned into shadows of black people with extremely large heads.
