Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 224
"This technique is too damn good!" Gunslinger exclaimed.

Indeed, if it is not for finding the mechanism, there will be no marks on the ground at all, and it will look like a whole piece if it fits perfectly.

We were all gathered around the stairs, Lao Yan frowned and said, "How deep is this tomb? Why does it keep going down?"

"If you go down here, it will be almost ten meters?" Professor Xu lay on the ground and looked towards the stairs: "The stairs can't see the end, so it's three or four meters long. With the technology at that time, it was necessary to dig such a Shen is a huge project, and I don’t know if it was because of this that the treasury of Zeng State was exhausted and the country was destroyed.”

"This is unavoidable for ancient emperors. They always spend a lot of energy on the tomb, and a lot of manpower and material resources." Lao Yan sighed: "I want to bring the wealth of my life into the coffin. Can die in bed, be possessed by a demon and make people who are neither human nor ghost..."

The white team didn't have so much emotion, and Lao Yan asked for a candle to light, and put it on the stairs, only to see that the candle went out in no time.

"It's been too long since I opened it, the air inside is poisonous, let's take it easy." Team Bai said, and then let us stay away from the stairs, and wait for the air to circulate for half an hour before the air is good. We clean up Good things, one by one went down.

Each step of the stairs is about half a meter high, and we walked with great difficulty. If we fell down and rolled to the bottom, our heads would probably be smashed.

Gunslinger walked in the front with the corpse of the medicine jar on his back. He was very careful in every step, but I could see that he was afraid of falling into the medicine jar, otherwise, with his temperament, he probably wanted to run to the bottom in one go.

Lao Yan instructed: "Be careful, I don't know what's underneath."

But Lao Yan was obviously worried for nothing. When we turned a corner and walked to the bottom, nothing happened.

"Is this another burial pit?" Professor Xu took a flashlight around the bottom.

I was taken aback: "Why are there so many coffins parked here?"

There are three rows of coffins at the bottom of this tomb, all of which are facing our direction. It's a bit scary to look at it all at once.

"There are thirteen in total, they should be accompanying coffins." Lao Yan concluded.

I asked strangely: "Why is there still a coffin here?"

"This shows that the tomb just now is indeed not the main tomb, and we were all deceived." Lao Yan explained, "Even the ones above are all suspicious tombs. Think about it, if we didn't know that there was a chime bell, would it be possible for us to go to the floor just now?" stopped?"

After thinking about it, I think it makes sense. It is obviously the main tomb. If it wasn’t for us, we would have come here for the chimes. We would probably open another road to get out of the tomb when we got there, and the excavation work of the archaeological team would stop there in the end.

If this is the case, we have to say that Marquis Yi of Zeng is a very unique person, and spending a lot of money on real tombs to build a suspicious tomb comparable to real tombs is not something ordinary people can make.

So we couldn't believe Lao Yan's speculation. How much effort would it take to build such a tomb?

It is estimated that Zeng Houyi did not do other things during his reign, so he specially built a tomb!

"It's not impossible. Originally, the major event during the emperor's reign was the construction of the mausoleum." Professor Xu agrees with Lao Yan's words: "Every generation of emperors, unless they encounter wars, will build their mausoleums beautifully. Huan, after all, they think they can continue to enjoy after death."

We stood here with a lot of emotion, the gun god over there has touched all the coffins, saying that these coffins all look the same, who is buried with them?

"Maybe it's a concubine?" I guessed.

Lao Yan shook his head, saying that the harem in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period was not yet large-scale, and it was impossible for a generation of kings to have so many concubines.

After speaking, he walked to a coffin, and felt around the gap between the coffin board and the body of the coffin: "It seems that there is no mechanism, let's open the coffin."

As he spoke, he opened the coffin in his hand, and then a lifelike corpse appeared in front of us.

Lying in this coffin was a little girl wearing a gown, about fourteen or fifteen years old, combing a maid's hairstyle, with her hands folded on her lower abdomen, as if she was asleep.

Lao Yan put on his gloves, and groped down the corpse's head inch by inch. When he touched the waist, he paused, then carefully touched the corpse's waist, and said with a condensed expression: "This The waist of the corpse should be broken."

"What?" Upon hearing this, Team Bai hurried over, touched his waist with his hands, and then his expression changed: "Have you been cut in half?"

Professor Xu said it was impossible. All the people buried with him had to have their beards and tails. How could it be possible to cut them in half?
Gunslinger stretched out his hand and pulled down the leg of the corpse: "Just look at it."

Following his movements, the upper and lower body of the corpse slowly separated by about five centimeters, and then stopped moving. I looked over and said strangely, "It doesn't seem to be completely broken."

When Lao Yan heard this, he directly took out a pair of small scissors and cut off the piece of cloth around the corpse's waist.I leaned over to look, and saw that the skin around the waist of the corpse was still connected, but the flesh inside was disconnected, as if it had been cut off from the inside, it looked inexplicably disgusting...

"What kind of burial technique is this? It's really unheard of!" Professor Xu said.

Lao Yan shook his head: "It's probably Zeng Houyi's novelty-seeking behavior. You see, many of the previous events did not follow the rules of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods. He must be a very thoughtful person."

I heard the sound of the two people coming and going, but I pulled them away from the coffin: "Did you see that there is something in her waist?"

"What?" Both Lao Yan and Professor Xu didn't know why.

My fingers were trembling, I don't know if it was fear or sadness for the teenage girl, my throat was dry, I could barely squeeze out a few words: "Yes, snake!"

"This is no joke." Lao Yan glared at me.

I shook my head hurriedly, saying that I was the one who joked around at critical moments?
Just now, by the dark light, I clearly saw something swimming around the waist of the female corpse, it definitely looked like a snake!

I have been running a lot in the mountains and fields since I was a child, and I have seen many kinds of snakes. It is impossible to be wrong. The snake around the waist of the female corpse is neither too big nor too small. At least it is as long as an arm. The point is, it is alive!
