The Secret Art of Refining the Dead: The Walking Corpse File

Chapter 400 Lights

Up to now, it seems that we can only go into the tomb to explore. The tomb of the dead has been buried deep in the ground for an unknown number of years. It is not scary to venture into this kind of place. After all, I have seen a lot of dead people recently, and I have become numb. But China People have a deep sense of fear of the dead and the grave, and the psychological pressure is still quite high.

It was also the first time for Tan Ren to do this kind of thing, and he seemed to have no idea. He used a flashlight to shine on the hole that was blown up, and then looked back at the black and red pool of foul-smelling blood on the ground. What, he said after a while: "That man seems to want to escape along the robbery hole."

I nodded: "But this person was very unlucky, he was killed by these crayfish. By the way, boss, do you know what these crayfish are? They can actually corrode a person, it's too scary , tell me, besides these few, are there other places as well?"

Tan Ren asked back: "Are you afraid? Go out if you are afraid, no one will keep you."

When I heard that this turtle is so unpopular, I couldn't help saying angrily: "Joke, am I afraid! I, Su Tiangu, am such a ruthless person! In order to save my brother, don't talk about crayfish!" I'll smash as many as you want." After finishing speaking, he ignored Tan Guimao, and with a flashlight, he took the lead and walked through the blasted stone door.

The tomb at the back of the stone gate is larger than the tomb in front, but the things placed there are different. When the lights are turned on, they are full of utensils such as wine bottles, tripods and chopsticks, which match the wine and grain in the tomb at the back. The placement of funerary objects in this tomb is still very particular.

There are quite a lot of things in this tomb, but they are a bit scattered. It looks like they have been turned over artificially. Some pottery is simply broken into pieces. I don't know if it was caused by the change of the terrain or was smashed by someone.

In addition, there is an ear chamber on both sides of the tomb, facing the past, and there is an arched entrance, and it is not known where it leads.

In my opinion, no matter how big the tomb is, it probably won't be that big, and it won't be able to hide any movement, so while walking, he would call Zhou Xuanye's name twice from time to time.Unexpectedly, as soon as this voice came out, it echoed endlessly in the tomb, and the tone gradually changed in the echo. In the end, it didn't sound like my voice, but like a stranger who stood on a high place and asked Zhou Xuanye to understand. , sounds a bit intrusive.

It was dark in the surrounding area, and there was a strange smell in the tomb room, which was caused by perennial claustrophobia. Just as the echo echoed, I suddenly found that I was only surrounded by Tian Tian, ​​​​but Tan Ren's tortoise hair was gone.

What about people?

I turned around and saw that it had disappeared.

At this time, Tianran pointed to the ear chamber on our left side, motioning for me to look there.

After looking at it, I realized that Tan Ren's tortoise hair actually entered the left ear chamber, with his back facing us, and he didn't turn on the flashlight.

I wondered why he didn't turn on the light. I walked over to see and understood, but it turned out that there were many lights in the ear room, all kinds of lights, placed against the wall. There was no oil in the lights, but there were night pearls.

Standing at the entrance of the ear room and looking in, the high and low, far and near, are like stars.

The light of the Ye Mingzhu is actually not as exaggerated as in the TV series. Although its light is bright, it can't be used as a lamp, and it can't illuminate a large range. Therefore, except for the dots of light, the whole ear chamber is still like a black cloth generally.

I turned the flashlight inside, and the light of the night pearl dimmed a lot, and all kinds of strange lighting decorations around it were revealed one by one. At a glance, there were bronze crane beak lamps with twining branches more than two meters high, and some Palace lanterns with figurines, flying sky lanterns, and openwork gold tassel lanterns are just like an exhibition room.

Seeing this, Tan Ren said: "The owner of this tomb is so ostentatious. It seems that the scale of this tomb is larger than I imagined."

The ancient dignitaries and dignitaries paid attention to death as life, living as they were alive, as they died. The owner of this tomb can even occupy an ear room with a lamp, let alone other things. Can't help but feel dumbfounded, if they are so awesome, how big is this tomb?No wonder it attracts so many people.

Tan Ren then shook his head again and said, "It's a pity that I don't know the structure of the ancient tomb, and I don't know where we are now."

I said, "Is there something important?"

He glanced at me, looking like he hated iron for being weak and lowered his tone when talking to you, and he just explained it to me casually after a while.

Tan Ren didn't know much about the structure and layout of the ancient tomb. If he did, he only knew a little bit about it.The national power of the Han Dynasty was strong, so there was a trend of deep burials.From the outside to the inside, there are Shinto, ghost ways, animal pits, and the cruelest ones are human sacrifice pits. Further inside is the burial chamber. The structure in the tomb imitates the layout of living people and is divided into three palaces, that is, There are three floors, and the layout of each floor is different, until the coffin chamber in the center, which is the place where the coffin of the owner of the tomb is placed.

This place is the most impenetrable. The tomb robbers will dig holes to enter the ancient tomb. First of all, they will definitely not attack from the outer layer. The outside is full of gods, ghosts, and animal bones. There is nothing valuable, which will delay Physical strength is time-consuming, and breaking in from the outside will also increase the degree of danger.

Therefore, before the tomb robbers who pay more attention to dig the hole, they will first drill the hole to locate it, determine the structure of the ancient tomb, and then start from the weakest position closest to the coffin chamber.Of course, those low-level thieves are a different matter. They don't know how to locate and determine a general trend, so they dig holes indiscriminately, often digging to the outside, and only pick up some pottery and jars, which are not worth a few money.

The robbery cave we just came down from, in Tan Ren’s words, is more sophisticated. Presumably the gang of people who opened up this robbery cave will not be scattered thieves who do not flow in. Therefore, where we are now, we should It is very close to the center of the ancient tomb, and it is possible to encounter the coffin of the owner of the tomb.

When Tan Ren said this, he was a little puzzled: "The closer to the main tomb, the higher the value of the funeral objects, but these two tombs are filled with wine, grains, wine bottles and food tripods. It's too..."

I understood Tan Ren's meaning, so I speculated: "Maybe the owner of the tomb liked to eat meat and drink alcohol, so he kept these things with him. Besides, look, the night pearls in these lamps are really rare, which shows that this The value of things is not low."

Tan Yan still seemed to feel something was wrong, but he didn't say anything in the end, and motioned us to look elsewhere.

Just when I was about to leave, suddenly the light flickered, and I found that there seemed to be something behind the lamp in the corner, a dark mass, at first glance, it looked like a squatting figure.

We were originally here looking for people, so we are extremely sensitive to human figures, so I turned the light straight on and saw that it was indeed a person, but it was not a real person, but a pottery man, half kneeling and half squatting, He raised his hands up and down, and looked at the right side with a focused expression. Looking at the clothes, he was a man dressed as a palace servant, and it seemed that he was here to take care of these lamps.

I thought to myself that the ancients were really imaginative. If you make a pottery figure, it can really look after these lamps?There are so many terracotta warriors and horses cast in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang. When it was excavated, there was no resistance from the terracotta warriors and horses.

However, this pottery man was painted with white glaze, but the quality of the glaze at that time was probably not good, so it was not white, but gray. The focused expression on the face and the bright red mouth were similar to people. The strong sense of contrast looks ghostly.

I felt uncomfortable after taking a look, so I left the ear chamber.

There is also an ear chamber on the right side of the tomb. We randomly turned on the light at the entrance and looked in, and found that there were some rotten wooden slips inside. There were probably some bamboo slips in this tomb, but most of them were turned into ashes. .

The gentleman is far away from the kitchen. Although the Han Dynasty emphasized martial arts, it did not despise literature. This layout of placing bamboo slips next to drinks and grains really stunned me, who does not understand history. I thought, Could it be that these bamboo slips originally recorded were recipes from the Han Dynasty?

Since the two ear rooms were nothing to look at, we walked straight forward. The arched passage was quite long, and once we entered, we could smell a strong smell, like burning lights.

Sure enough, the fuel in the lamp slots on both sides of the tomb passage was burned out. It is estimated that some tomb robbers went down to the tomb before and lit the lamps in the tomb.

Tan Ren didn't know what he was thinking. He motioned me to go ahead and open the way. I knew that there were many traps in the ancient tomb, so I said: "Boss, you are not kind, you are making me feel like a thunderbolt."

Tan Ren sneered: "If you still have the function of thunderbolt, I should be thankful."

In fact, I really don't mind this, whoever walks ahead is not walking.

But Tan Ren went on to say: "Someone walked by here, and the mechanism that should be triggered has almost been triggered. If you can still be tricked, it can only be said that your IQ is not suitable for living in this world. "While speaking, I noticed that this girl touched a red rope and tied it to my little finger.

I remember that when I first arrived at the office, Tan Ren used this trick when he was looking for the two gangsters who kidnapped and sold Gu Xin, and it was very effective. I immediately realized that he was going to repeat the same trick.

But this time seemed to be different from last time. Soon, when he turned the compass, I felt the red string on his little finger getting tighter and tighter. Finally, when the compass stopped turning, Tan Ren looked at the compass and saw the red line pointing to The directions are Northwest, Wu, Qian, Sheng, Snake, and the statue of Yingzheng. I know some superficial facts, and said: "Northwest, Brother Zhou and the others are fine, but there seems to be some kind of battle... It seems that there is nothing in this tomb except We, brother Zhou, and other living tomb robbers, can’t they be the four men and one woman? They came for the Xianhou Tomb, could it be that the ancient tomb we are in is the Xianhou Tomb?”

The reason why I ask this question is because I know that there are many ancient tombs in Wanling Pit, and they have been dug full of holes, so we are not sure who the owner of the ancient tomb we are in now is.
